Maybe, but it can only go up from there again (C'mon, MHG; do wonders for the Wii, please!).

I'd be happy if Wii sales dropped to the abysmal level. It might actually convince Nintendo to release games that were worth playing instead of garbage like Animal Crossing and Wii Music.

Why be so specific concerning Wii sales? Console gaming overall is down in Japan. Nothing new, really.

 

Not really. Going by MC numbers PS3 is up 5.2% YTD compared to last year, X360 is tripling its sales from last year and DS is down just a bit (3%).

The market is down becouse of 2 consoles: PSP (down 40%) and Wii (down 63.5% compared to last year). PS2 is also down but it was expected and even last year it wasn't selling a lot.

Wii sales are more software driven in Japan than the other regions. So look to the software for your trends. I don't know when the RPGs are coming, but isn't Sports Resort coming out in March? That'll be a big booster.

 

 March 2009?

well, if the Wii drops to 10k, and it normally outsells it 4:1, then the PS3 will be doing 2.5k/week. The X360 is will be doing 7k/week, since it found new legs in japan and can't follow old models. The X360 will surpass the PS3 in japan in ~380 weeks, or in 7 years. Now if only Microsoft can follow the 12 year plan.

Hehe best prediction ever :)

10k and lower could happen before WSR comes out. In between May and June the Wii will do abysmal numbers.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.
