@ ioi

that sucks, I wonder though if this is going to hurt them in the long term? Theres been two huge releases for the PS3 in the past couple weeks and they don't have systems to sell. I wonder if some casual consumers will lose interest and pick up a Wii or 360 instead since they're both easier to get ahold of at the moment.

Wii keeps fluctuating.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

This time last year:

Wii 167,842
DS 160,312
360 80,885
PS3 63,943
PSP 47,007
PS2 24,120

Wii down ~24K, which means with others likely flat and Japan up worldwide should be just on the negative side of flat. PS3 up 22K, 360 down 20K.

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Exactly. Is there a "break point" (number of weeks) where "the numbers will go back up one stock comes back" goes to "the ceiling has been lowered from this"? Or will the ceiling always be flexible due to stock?



I really wonder if anyone at Sony is feeling the heat off these shortages.

Don't you mean 360 up 20k?



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Woah... didn't expect that. :/

I thought Sony was increasing supply for GOW3 week, wtf happened?

Whoops, you're right, I got 360 backwards.
