How can Wii be selling 120k this week, but Wii Sports Resorts only sell 74k? Wii Sports Resorts is bundled with essentially every Wii (except old inventory from over a year ago) in every region except Japan, which only recently started getting Wii's bundled with the game. This makes no sense, something isn't being tracked right... Even if you add Mario Kart and Wii Sports, you only get 122k in sales, does that imply no one bought Mario Kart, or Wii Sports off the shelf? I doubt that since Mario Kart was still a 20-30k weekly selling games.

Also, that charts this week get interesting. 360 gains, while PS3 looses, yet Wii looses more, so PS3 is number 1. I guess the Black Ops bundle for PS3 on Amazon is done, so lets see how close the gap gets between PS3/360. Will PS3 hold the lead until Gears week, or will Madden or some random bundle help 360 come first before then?

Wii Sports Resorts is not bundled everywhere in Europe, Asia, Mid-East, Japan, etc.

massive adjustments coming next week after financial results, Wii down 1.2M ( 1.09M) I expect and PS3 somewhat up ( 1.8M).

You taking Wii a little low... there are a price cut and Nintendo expected strong demmand and shipped a little more... 1.5m my bet.

PS3 I agree... I just bet 1.9m because I'm a  PS3 fan .

Yes, but is is bundled in most of Europe. Having half the sales of the console all of a sudden makes no sense. Wii may be adjusted down, I may be wrong though.

With all 3 being so close and the 360 being the strongest in the US... I think the 360 wins this holiday.


What are you basing this off?? The ps3 has been outselling the 360 WORLDWIDE since the start of this year!



MARCUSDJACKSON on 25 July 2011

By not very many at all...  and

The US and the UK (basically English speaking territories) have the biggest boost over the holidays... these are the main 360 markets.

 

But allow me to illustrate further (and to deal with your point above):

VGC May and June 2010: PS3: 1,511,236, 360: 1,222,092

VGC Nov and Dec 2010: PS3: 5,527,370, 360: 6,305,487

 

360 got a price cut between those two dates last year though and ps3 didn't, so unless 360 gets another price cut and ps3 doesn't those numbers aren't very relevant
