Forums - Sales Discussion - PS3 Slim sells 57 000 in its second week in Japan

Don't worry. Today is just the 15th.



Around the Network

Sales won't increase next week.
I will be happy if they go down to around 35k.

Many of you forget that September is historically the worse month for hardware sales in Japan ( which is why Wii dropped to 14k this week).



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Im still guessing 250-300k second week for ps3 since Japan usually has the biggest drops..and 57k isn't all that bad considering i thought it would drop to 70k



 

lets hope the ps3 keeps selling good. omg i hope tales of vesperia sells great and i hope it comes to america too!.



People just wait for when the bundle for FF 13 comes out.



Gintama is the funniest show EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

About the same percentage drop when PSP Slim was introduced the second. Not anything too unusual. A few weeks ago, people were expecting 60k first week of the slim launch.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Didn't 360 have a price cut in effect this week?



200K in 2 weeks for Japan is amazing and ToV for next week numbers, should give it a nice boost.



57k is slightly better than I would of thought

heres my prediction for the first week, I was 2nd closest :)

like I said in my original post I think the ps3 will go down to 20k quite quick (in about a month)



All bow to me the VGChartz current reigning 3DS prediction champion 

 Bet with tbone51: Pokeon X & pokemon Y will not sell more than 8 million in 2013

July 2009 daveJ saidTrue the wii has a large lead now but by 2017 the most likely result will be 1. ps3 2. xbox360 3. wii <-- wii's successor launched in 2011 effectively killing sales of the wii

 2009 daveJ said: The wii will not break the 50% marketshare barrier it will go below the 40% marketshare barrier though in the future. VGChartz members: Impossible, youre an idiot that knows nothing about sales

--OkeyDokey-- said:
I wouldn't expect the drop in other regions to be as large as Japan's.

No, but still 40-60% drops will probably happen, it'll probably be under 300K WW



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
