I guess it is. Merry Christmas to the Wii

 

Condolences to the PS2

 

(applause)



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

I fully expect the Wii to beat its own record next year and then again the next year. It will break 2 million 1 week in 2010 i'm pretty sure.



Currently dreaming of: DKC4 or Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (classic 2D platformers) for WiiWare, Smash Bros. for DSi, New Super Mario World for DSi, a Wii remake or true sequel of Final Fantasy Tactics.

One down, hopefully more awesomeness to come.

Indeed.... and 3rd best if including handhelds (ie DS had 2 weeks above it)

Best weekly sales top 10

1. DS - 2,190,483 (also set this week)
2. DS - 2,012,422 (set last year)
3. Wii - 1,838,350 (set this week)
4. DS - 1,832,824 (set last week)
5. DS - 1,781,440 (set 4 weeks ago [inc. Black Friday])
6. PS2- 1,761,665 (set Christmas 2002)
7. DS - 1,715,104 (set last year)
8. DS - 1,584,945 (set 3 weeks ago)
9. DS - 1,475,035 (set 2 years ago)
10.DS- 1,472,887 (set last year)

The list is perhaps slightly overpopulated by DS records.... although the next few high figures are PS2, Wii, PS2, Wii and PS2.

11.PS2-1,465,307 (set Christmas 2003)
12.Wii- 1,463,690 (set last year)
13.PS2-1,459,331 (set Christmas 2002)
14.Wii- 1,450,207 (set last week)
15.PS2-1,432,704 (set Christmas 2002)
16.Wii- 1,409,184 (set 4 weeks ago [inc. BF])

The next other hardware entry is the GBA, which is in 19th (after another PS2 and DS week) with 1,343,041

I added a note for GBA.... it's best week is the 19th best overall.

Of course the data on this site doesn't include much for PS1, GB, SNES and NES, all of which will have had some pretty successful weeks, but I think only the GB and PS1 will have sold enough to make the top 20... and probably only 1 or 2 weeks each.
