Wait a minute, just noticed.

VGC had the Wii selling more than it actually shipped for the quarter?

Not unusual, if there were Wiis left over from the last quarter.

MS numbers coming soon...

 

By the way, PS3 better be overtracked tomorrow or else being retarded is a good thing, uh?

Yeah... I think tomorrow I will be retarded because PS3 shipped figure not be equal to the Wii (1.9m).

@TheSource sorry but that's what I think.

Nope VGC never had Wii over 75.90M. It's not even over 75M yet.

I mean the shipment for the quarter. Not lifetime. It says it right in my first post (Bolded and underlined).

Well its clear there was a lot of Wii's left over from the last shipment ninty made in the previous quarter.....so Wii's left over from last quarter got sold in this quarter too..meaning retailers wanted less Wii's in, lowering shipments.

As LTD sales are ok compared to VGC figures thats the only explanation


Although it's not by a significant margin, I'm inclined to think that we're overtracking the Wii. Simply because the July-September quarter is usually when companies stuff the channel to a certain degree in anticipation of the holidays. I would think the difference between shipped and sold this quarter would expand a bit, unless there was already a lot of stock in the channel after the April-June quarter. 1.55 million in the channel is a comparatively low amount to what Wii usually has in the channel after this quarter (usually over 2 million).

But then again Wii has been selling at a notably slower rate recently so you could make an argument that there's not as much of a need to have more stock available.



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

just mark here to wait



So we expected 2.7 mill Wii shipped, but got 1.9 mill? 800k ....... damn.

This thread has transformed into a discussion rather than a prediction thread.

PS3 and Wii sold pretty much identical figures for the quarter, you'd have to be retarted to expect a dramatic difference for the quarter when Nintendo get stuff more on the basis of needing to ship 7m Wiis in December 2009 alone.


PS3 3.5M
X360 2.8M
Wii 1.93M

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.

VGC (TheSource?) estimated too.

http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/82466/shipment-results-preview-for-july-sept-for-the-big-three/

Wii: 2.7m
PS3: 2.8m
360: 3.2m
PSP: 1.3m
DS: 4.0m
PS2: 1.6m

Hmm the source says 2.8M shipment.

Holy crap 3,5m ps3 shipment confirmed and poor Wii will probably be below 2M if he says 2,7 ;)

looool, you got his number!
