Forums - Sales Discussion - Global hardware and UK & USA software UP! - Week ending 8th December

VGKing said:
The Wii U sales are very surprising to me in the USA. I guess all those ads I've been seeing are actually working. It actually increased from last weeks sales.

The drop off in Europe is as expected, just like it did in the USA its second week. Will it mimic the USA and increase in sales for the 3rd week? Maybe supply really is an issue and that explains why sales are so low in Europe?


I really appreciate that comment. If only everyone would see it in that sense! Kudos to you.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAND... DS overtakes PS2.

not this again...DS will never overtake the PS2...just no. Thanks for coming out.

See for yourself.

Yep, it's definitely this again...oh boy.

Blah Blah Blah VGChartz doesn't track PS2 and hasn't for a blah blah while now so the sales on VGChartz have haulted blah blah.

In reality, VGChartz is WAAAAY off on PS2 sales by over 10-15 million and that number will only grow. The PS2 still to this day can sell millions per year. The DS had an incredible run but it has too big of a hill to climb thanks to 3DS cutting into its sales. YoY for DS does not look good at all and I'd be surprised if by the end of it all if DS is even within 8-10 million of the PS2.

I calculate PS2 sales at 156.18 million as of October 1st 2012. It should reach about 156.72 million by years end.

Here

Specifically: This

However, if DS has a strong 2013, and PS2 a weak one, DS could catch up and surpass PS2 by 2014. It's only 3 million units behind, if only Nintendo made one last bundle.

Well those numbers are still really good. DS not as high... :(


Still amazing that it outsells the Vita, though.

But, yeah, 600K+ would have been insane.

Wow your obsession with the PS Vita is beyond pathetic. Give it a rest, will ya?

Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Are VGChartz posters just toying with this?? I seriously can't tell. Because if they are being serious then they need to learn how to read.

Your data that you provided is based on VGChartz data which is accurate for all things THIS gen, not LAST gen. LAST gen is the PS2 era meaning the sales provided by VGChartz are WAAAAY off, got it?

I've read threads for about a year now about this exact topic of how the DS will overtake the PS2 and every time that theory is shot down due to cold hard facts provided by multiple people and yet the ignorance still pertains.

Thanks for coming out. Again...



Tagging.

I'm a bit uneasy with these numbers, but they look like they could be right. Maybe a combination of weekly sales with adjustments?

The Nintendo numbers are really impressive: approximately 1.7 million hardware units sold overall.



Well, if those numbers are true, that holy shit that was a good week overall! Wii U did great! The only worries I have is Europe...

If this economic crisis continue in Europe I think that both PS720 might have just as a hard time as Wii U currently has. The up side for Nintendo then is that Wii U will be the cheapest next gen, and thus probably selling more than PS720. But hopefully something is done in EU... This cannot go on! It's like only Northern Europe has its shit together.



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

i still wonder why you have to post about gt in every freaking sales thread, just imagine everyone would do that about his favourite game over years.

I'll love if that happen.

I just see guys tracking Halo and Gran Turismo (me)... I need more people tracking others games.


It's really not necessary though for a WEEKLY update. Milestones are fine.

But we can just use the games database to see the difference in week to week sales.

Therefore, no more Gran Turismo updates in every sales thread.

Thanks.


just because YOU dont like what he is doing doesnt mean he should stop it. if you dont like his posts just dont read them, end of story.



Could these include adjustments?
