Wii SW sales in Japan for 2008.

[Oyvoyvoyv]

Let's compare. Wii vs Ps2, 102 weeks after launch, Japan only.

Ps2 hardware - 7.9M

Wii hardware - 7M

 

Ps2 software - 25.7M

Wii software - 24.6M

 

1st party Ps2 software - 3197K 3.2M

1st party software for Wii - 16173K - 16.2M

 

3rd party software Ps2 - 22.5M

3rd party software Wii - 8.4M

 

Ratios -

3rd party

Ps2 - 3 games pr console

Wii - 1.2 games pr console

 

1st party

Ps2 - 0.4 games pr console

Wii - 2.5 games pr console

 

Wii is doing decent. Slightly behind in hardware, which is explainable due to 1 less christmas (1st was incredibly supply constrained, and would have sold the same anyway), and has equal software despite of it.

I added the ratios just because people seem to find them interesting, whereas I don't really need them.
