In crazymans thread it looked like he had been cherry picking so I had a look for myself to make sure numbers for both threads are from vgchartz while his numbers are right they don't tell the full story so here goes. following stats are for Japan

note I don't know how to link things so if anyone could help thank you in advance

crazymans thread was adout new games that sold over 100k in Japan this year.

To give full story this will show all games that sold over 100k in Japan.

2009  wii= 8   360= 2  ps3= 9  ds=18  psp= 7   ps2= 2

this puts a slightly differant look to sales.

what is more intresting is past numbers

2008  wii=22  360=3  ps3=16  ds=64  psp=20  ps2=18

2007  wii=21  360=0  ps3= 6   ds=88  psp=13  ps2=27

2006  wii= 5   360=1  ps3= 0   ds=55  psp=19  ps2=51

from above numbers it can be seen at a glance wii is in slump [as we all know in Japan]

360 has picked up [this we know also]

ps3 is doing better [we know this as well]

ds is in decline seems to be more than I thought

psp is stable [had to say that for certain]

ps2 has all but gone in Japan though still has a flicker of life.

To conclude bigest surprise is ps2 with install base seems to be to low ps3 doing best as far as improvment.

worth a look at the american stats.

these stats are for games that have sales of 250k up.

2009  wii=14  360=15  ps3= 5   ds=12  psp= 0   ps2= 0

2008  wii=77  360=76  ps3=43  ds=83  psp=16  ps2=23

2007  wii=29  360=46  ps3=14  ds=36  psp=10  ps2=42

2006  wii=  3  360=29  ps3=  1  ds=25  psp=10  ps2=78

whilemost software is sold in second half of calender year we can still see trends

ps3 and ps2 stand out  ds360wii also for low first half sales of 250k and up

would like to here your thoughts thank you

could not get theses for others sorry

ps2 nubers may not be right
