A lot of people are going to get stuck between wanting Wii numbers high and not wanting it to be proven, once again, that price really does matter! 
HD twins quite close, Japan tilts the PS3 to the winning side but not by much, finally a good Wii week, its been a while since the last one. 3DS keeps getting pounded, even by a handheld deemed dead for a long time, that can't be good.
GT5 - LEGZ ARE BEAUTIFUL (NO PRICE CUT OR BUNDLE)

Wow good turn around for the Wii and nice seeing it get a second wind under it. Should help keep sales decently healthy till Project Cafe releases.
And 360 and PS3 are soooo close WW right now, it will be really interesting to see who has the momentum coming out of E3 and how it will affect sales.
And L.A. Noire is already a million seller on both platforms as well as Kinect Adventures officialy crossing 10 million on VGchartz numbers.

As for the adjustment question. Are VGC Wii sales up until March 2011 still above what Nintendo shipped? I believe this was the original issue and why people claim it may still be 500k or so overtracked. |
I think pezus may end up being right. As for the adjustment for lifetime sales, I do believe it was adjusted, as now it's below 86 mil up until March. ~85.7 mil.
| Machina said: Was not expecting that huge increase in Americas for Wii the second week of the price cut there. Props where they're due for that. |
Nor was I. But, the same thing happened in the UK. Maybe it's all down to advertising? Or people saying 'it's only £99. I'll give it a go.'
I think it could be the public's mindset. It's £99, somehow much better value than £100, so it's worth I punt
Maybe. Or maybe Brian Blessed is the best thing to happen to Nintendo's ads
gratz to the wii, much better numbers than i expected. i didn't think americas would jump up again on the second week. now the wii is only down by ~9.5% YoY. :P
Wii price cut must have had more advertisment last week than the week before hence the lift in US.
Buying in 2015: Captain toad: treasure tracker,
mario maker
new 3ds
yoshi woolly world
zelda U
majora's mask 3d

Just because DS had an abnormal sales curve doesn't mean that 3DS will follow exactly the same one albeit lower. Those trends mean absolutely nothing. Looking at past HW sales from different consoles is almost useless, except when you are looking at seasonality. |
Since the 3DS has an higer price, a more sucessful predecessor and bigger competition I don't think expecting it to do better than the DS from the beginning was realistic. And the comparison is actually a good one except for Japan, it also shows that when DS got big games (Nintendogs, Brain Age and Mario Kart mainly) it started selling well, which is what still has to happen for 3DS.
CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)
