not to throw a wrench in things, but the fact that Cmas falls on a Saturday this year kind of throws things off. In some years when Cmas is early in the week, the week featuring the last saturday before Cmas (busiest shopping day of the year) is larger. 07 is a good example of that, I think Cmas eve was on monday or tuesday that year. What this means is next week the falls should not be nearly as harse because there will still be basically 6 more days of shopping to be done with Cmas eve being the 2nd busiest shopping day of the year.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Why is it unbelievable? If there's no Wii/360 to buy (or they cost more than the GDP per capita) in most of that region, obviously the PS2 will sell more.

This has to be the hardest time of the year for VGC to get reliable data.  VGC vs NPD in November was quite different.  The Japan previews have been way off for the past several weeks it only is logical to think that come January and February the qtrly reports and numbers from other trackers will be a good deal different.



this site uses alot of technically analysis combined with fairly small samples to get the final numbers. What this mean is during times of the year when things become crazy sometime the technically analysis base on numbers gets scewed while during the year things are pretty steady. Also in August when the number 10 game sell 200k in a month and VGC has it at 240k (20% off) nobody really cares they adjust and nobody knows the better. In Dec if they are 20% off on a top game that can means hundreds of throusand... and people take notice.

Combine the 2, and holiday numbers can vary wildly. I remember Cmas 07 that were pressured to release the Japan numbers before Famitsu and MC.... They were off by 50-75% and it almost sunk the site. I had already suspected that the Jap numbers were derived from those 2 sources, but that proved it to me. BUT this site is awsome for tracking historical numbers (more than 1 more old)

Plenty of Wii and X360 stock here (Middle East). Keep in mind, the PlayStation brand here is very strong.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

That's surprising; I mean, it was just as strong in Europe back in 2005/6, yet they completely devoured Playstation market share there so I assumed that there would be an external factor such as lack of distribution and/or ridiculously high costs affecting their sales there.

i'm starting to think that the 360 is a lost cause in all of EMEAA except for the UK.
