Good start of the year for the Wii, how long can it continue?

I reckon around 35/52 weeks in the year



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Software sold

Wii 6.2Million
360 5.0Million
PS3 3.7Million

Subtract out  2 titles for each Wii sold in areas other than Japan. Subtract out Forza 3 sales assuming they were Holiday bundle. Do not subtract out WiiFit Plus or Kinect Adventures because you did have to pay extra to get them even thought they came with a device.

Doesn't the Kinect Bundle Xbox 360 bundle come with Adventures?

Just include all software....the companies that bundle them carry the cost of bundling.


You have to pay $100 more to get it.  You cant purchase a Wii without games (except in Japan).

That's not true. The two 360 Kinect bundle has Kinect Adventures.

And you have 2 360 SKUs that correspond to them that are $100 less expensive. So you can choose to purchase a 4GB SKU for $200 or choose to also get Kinect and Kinect adventures for $300.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

Ohhhh I understood now. Anyway there are no Kinect without Kinect Adventures (at least in NA)... bundled with 360 or not.

DKCR already the best selling western developed game in Japan this generation, and it's actually tracking ahead of DKC2/3/64 going by Famistu numbers.  Amazing really, it's going to be a million seller and probably then some... lol, I can't help but remember when certain posters (who shall remain nameless) were saying it's the same (disappointing) story as GT5 and insisting I was trying to "make thing look better than they really are" when I compared DKCR's sales to the DK series historically. How's that crow taste boys? ;)

I remember someone originally putting down 1.5m as their estimate for the game's lifetime sales in the prediction thread.  

I think I put something like 800k fw and 7.5m lifetime, which I don't think is too bad

I expected lower than you actually, like 600k.  Then during the first week I looked at historical DK series sales, and realized it was going to be way bigger considering the sort of modest debuts and long legs DK games have.  1.5m is pretty high but not out of the question, amazingly...

The 360 is the true winner this week. Kinect continues to amaze me!

Agreed,I wonder how much revenue it generated this week alone,including Kinect and XBL.

Certainly the most money-making system nowadays.
