Well.
Wii Sports Resort's legs were guaranteed. DQIX's were a bit up in the air until release. WSR's sales should be going up even more the following week, while there's nothing that's supposed to give DQIX a boost.
Even now, there's still question as to whether DQIX can make it to 5 Million. I think it'll have to hang out with WSR and Tomodachi for a few more months to make that happen, but it's falling week after week.

Ye, i think that 25k-30k might be right for Halo 3: ODSTFrillen said:
EDIT: Oh, i see now that Sinobi mentioned 33k for Halo 3: ODST, but it was in the 25k-30k area at least as you said

I would love to know the story of how Tabris got that crazy tag(not the banned one).Segata Sanshiro said:

Could this be due to the Silver Week effect? PS3 sales hasnt dropped that much compared to the previous week and the Wii sales are actually not that bad as i might have expected, at least in my opinion, concidering that the Wii pricedrop was announced on a Thursday, and then there were still 3-4 days (depending on which time of the day when the Wii pricedrop was announced on a Thursday) on left of the week.slaughterking said:

Nice work on the PS3 holding on for so long.
Wii continues its downward spiral of wasted potential.

No, I think it's more likely that the redesign and price cut are leading to a more extended bump than expected. The release of Vesperia and Silver Week may have helped a little, but I think the big driver here is the Slim itself.
Next week will be very interesting, as I expect a decent increase for the Wii but I'm not sure whether we'll see it go anywhere near the PS3 - IIRC the price cut just isn't the same, the Wii was already in reasonably affordable territory and it doesn't have the appeal of a new design.

Wow, I guess there will be a lot of doubters coming in to say they were wrong.
Nah, they'll probably just say "Wait till next week, it will be down to 25k."
Edit: Also, glad to see Ys is still fairly high on the list!

I did? There were a lot of people who said there was little to no chance of the PS3 repeating the 50k mark. I guess what I typed seemed like a bit of a troll, but it was more of a commentary on the pessimistic outlook many seemed to have had over whether or not the price drop was really effective.

I guess the Playstation brandname is still firmly entrenched in the minds of Japanese gamers (as a home console). If it seriously maintains this sort of strength up until FFXIII hits then... well...something huge.

Certainty is a bit strong, we have to see what effect the Wii price drop will have. Also while PS3 has FFXIII, there's not really much else that looks like it'll significantly boost hardware sales. A 50k hold for this week is more than most expected, but I don't think we are far enough out of the relaunch period to tell whether that's totally sustainable, although I figure that it does indicate that the baseline has shifted up more than people were expecting.
Still it's a nice chunk of change out of the Wii's YTD lead.

Next week will be pretty awesome numbers wise. It will be interesting to see if the market will tolerate three systems selling at 50k units a week. I severely doubt it though. I think the Wii and the DS are going to effectively steal the PS3 thunder.
Edit: Not that the DSi hasn't been already :lol

50k for PS3 to me is unexplainable.
Here's your fucking money Namco, now localize the game.
oh and bring Ace Combat to PS3 you stupid morons.

I was pretty damn sure of the PS3 Slim performing phenomenally after launch. Sometimes intuition works to your favor. It honestly helps to live in the most populated part of Japan, where you can gauge interest based on advertising, store space, and general sentiment. I wasn't BSing when I said it would be huge a month ago.
The Wii after its price drop, however, I honestly am not too sure of. Of course it'll boost sales, but I don't think Japanese gamers were clamoring to save ¥5000 the way people obviously wanted to save another ¥10,000 before buying a PS3. We'll see starting tomorrow.

I dont think so, it appears to be the opposite. The PS3 is stealing the Wii's thunder, and has been for a little while now.

Does anyone have the breakdown of WKC's sales. IIRC ToV opened higher, I wonder if it's still tracking ahead?
so if the price was already slashed in this week, then i was right about the market potential of the Wii in Japan at least. Maybe japan is more software driven then US and EU. since there are no big titels coming which attract to new Wii owners people dont buy the Wii at very high rate. I think we can compare Mario to Halo. When Halo 3 was released in the US couple of years ago the Hardware sale numbers moved up by a very tiny rate since the Halo audience was already on the train. Other titles moved the Hardware much stronger then Halo 3 did, even if it was THE game for Xbox360 like GTA or Mass Effect. We could see the same effect for the Wii. The market potential of the Wii on the Mario and Zelda Market could already be almost maxed out. New big titles like Monster Hunter would mean big jump for the Hardware but Mario and Zelda and Sports Resort not so much but where are they?
The PS3 seems to live from the word of mouth right now, since we didnt had any big releases this week. Also the fact that CoD4 is in the charts could be a indicator for that. People buy PS3s with the new price tag not because of new but also because of existing software on the system. I strongly believe the people who bought CoD4 are late to market adopters who just entered the PS3 market and now jump on such titles like CoD4 because they can get them for cheap and heard a lot of good stuff about it.
