I think its interesting to compare with last year sales for the same week

DS 110 328,379 (+83%) 14,381,637
WII 171,797 (+59%) 1,130,950
PSP 120,699 (+83%) 4,735,540
PS3 70,158 (-6%) 542,763
PS2 53,686 (+39%) 21,540,722
X360 19,993 (+10%) 305,307
GBA 5,845 (+48%) 16,649,843
278 1,258 (+49%) 4,014,908

Year to year we see the PS3 is selling about the same as last year ,the Wii has had some increment from 171K to 207K so some 36K units ,the PS2 as seen its numbers split in two in the final sign of decadence and the 360 doesnt manage even half the numbers of last year despite all the efforts of MS in that regards .The more interesting would be the portable system numbers ,while the PSP has managed nearly to double its sales the DS is selling considerably less that last year .So year to year we see improving the Wii and PSP specially the later ,a sensible decrease of the DS that remains the number one nonetheless ,the PS3 is about the same as last year ,and the PS2 and 360 are definitely on the way down .

This would be a classic example of cherry picking. Comparing two different weeks in isolation is completely dependent on the releases for those specific weeks. It's simply too short a timeframe to make such comparisons.

that hd adoption comment wasn't trolling, he was being sarcastic.. which is hard to have come out right in text.

japan i believe has one of the highest HDTV penetration for the country...


So, this kind of implies that HD gaming isn't the Japenese gamers' priority.

must say considering it's one of Wii's Biggest Games EVER in Japan & looking at wii's userbase that isn't the best achuievement ever

The game deserves all of it though, i just want to see it Kick Halo 3's A$$ in worldwide totals soon



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Ah yes, Legend's "SMG is a failure" thread. That was fun... there were also quite a few "SMG bombed in Japan" threads on our forums for a good period of time.

Fun fact of the day: SMG has sold more than double any Playstation 3 or Xbox 360 game EVER has in Japan.

 Given that the two biggest titles in terms of sales currently in japan (ps3) are Everybodys Golf and Dynasty warriors, its not an amazing achievement. Mario is the biggest character in the gaming industry, with 3 times the userbase its no surprise its doing better than any PS3 game, especially considering the two biggest releases are from franchises that although are big in japan, dont touch mario. (why even bother mentioning the 360 :P, I doubt many, if any at all, of their games will push past 500,000 in japan.)

 Still, its a great game and as such it deserves the success.

What surprises me are the ultrastrong hardware sales for the PSP ,its beating the Wii week by week !

Doesn't Sony take a loss on the PSP at their current Japanese price point?  It's too bad the hardware is literally outselling the software -- what are all of those PSPs being purchased for?



Around the Network

I don't know if they are taking a loss, but I'd bet they aren't making much money on it compared to the DS and iPods. Not only in overall profit but margins as well. If Sony just wants to make a device that sells a lot but doesn't make much money, then the PSP is succeeding.

This is going to change once HDTV adoption rates are higher in Japan.

I know you can get away with trolling because of your rep and post count, but can't you show just a little respect?

 


Respect for what? Humor?

Lighten up people, it was a pretty funny jab at both the PS3 and 360.
