It won't be long before Japan is bundled into MEAA and Europe and Australia form their seperate break-away group, hopefully. An all-time low for PS3, Wii and 3DS (and maybe DS) shows just how bad things have got over there. If Sony doesn't get a price-cut for the PS3 soon, they'll be in all kinds of bother over there soon as well...

Erm...

All time low for the Wii and 3DS, maybe. PS3 has been waaaaaaaaaay lower

OT:
Depressing numbers, although the PS3 is still 2x higher than Wii

And what is the all-time low for the PS3 then?

All time low this year then maybe?


I think it was a few hundred the week before the slim launched - when the fat was out of stock.  This is the all time low for the slim, though.

 

It seems once the casual bubble burst in Japan, things just went to hell there in the gaming industry.  Before, the DS was doing over 100k per week and the Wii was doing 70k something per week.  The top games were things like housekeeping diaries.

Indeed. I think the gen is just dragging on a bit now, really. All consoles are in relative decline, no console will peak this year and all likely massively down YoY WW, and if they hope to keep it going another 4-5 years, they have another thing coming  I reckon. There's no PS2's this gen. No force propelling HW for years. Sadness.

Famitsu expect PS3 to be around 1.4 mill for 2011 and 2012, that's pretty good IMO, it's wii that's letting the side down. They expect 500k in 2012 but even that seems optimistic.



 

DS down quite a bit from last year, from ~28.6K to ~10.9K.  I can see why that would be, though, since its successor has already launched.  Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like the 3DS is taking the world (in this case, Japan) by storm.  I mean this week the 6 1/2 year old PSP outsold it 2:1.  If Sony plays its cards just right, they can definitely take advantage of this in 6-7 months when the NGP is released.



dayyyyum!!! some bad sale right thar!!(except for the PSP)
