Forums - Sales Discussion - France. Wii has sold one million

It's an information give by nintendo one year next the launch of the wii in France.

So, the recent number of 1,100,000, we speak last week, was certainly a speculation of the website jeux-france.

I search other sources.

hmm.. that's 100k less than VGchartz tracked , is Wii overtracked? ahh no , not the forks ,ahh - I was just kidding ;)



So we're within 10%? That's pretty good.

How current is the info on le sité?



They don't specify exactly when the console passed 1M. Actually the guy from Nintendo said the console sold "more than 1 million", and I'm pretty sure he's announcing it right now because it's the Wii's anniversary. Moreover he speaks about 12 months, which means the Wii passed 1M during the last month.

So I think VGChartz is quite accurate.



How many Playstation 3 consoles, and Xbox 360 consoles, sold in France, so we may compare them to the number of Wii consoles sold?



Around the Network

Wii :1 million .Launch date december 2006.
X360: 500K .Launch date november 2005 .
PS3 :300K .Launch date march 2007 .



There's a new article on Jeuxvideo.fr which quotes François Ruault of Microsoft France from an interview with Les Echos stating that the 360 has sold 500,000 since launch in France. It also gives the 1,000,000 Wii total, but for PS3 just repeats that George Fornay (SCE France) recently stated that they will easily pass their target of 500,000 sold by December 31.

Last time George Fornay gave the PS3 LTD was in mid September, where he said it was 200,000. In mid November he said they had sold 100,000 the previous month, so with one month sales before the 100K, and a month since unaccounted for, the PS3 should probably be closer to 400,000 than 300,000.

We can work out average weekly sales for 360 and Wii since their last announcements.

360 was at 430K near the end of September, there has been 11 full weeks of sales data from then until the latest 500K announcement, so 360 has averaged 6,364/week since September.

Wii was at 700K in mid June, between then and the 1M announcement 24 full weeks of sales data have occurred, which equals 12,500/week since the end of June.

We don't have enough PS3 data to work out weekly rates.

360 hits 500K
360 hits 430K

Wii hits 1M
Wii hits 700K

PS3 sells 100K in 1 month
PS3 hits 200K
