Bad week for Nintendo apparently...

That is VGChartz LONGEST review. And it's NOT Cute Kitten DS

What happened to DS this week? huge drop in sales. However wii got a nice boost, SSBB looks like it could sell more than a few wiis (if there are enough produced ofc).



 

Seriously though, Monster Hunter PSP has got huge legs.

I dont know how Capcom does it but almost every single game has some enourmous positive side to it.

I am still wonder that is wrong with DS too, it still outsolf the PSP... but that is to be expected... Hmm, there has not been any "Killer" ap DS games in a while out there... Ok When is DQIX coming that should fix it.



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

DQ V and VI are coming before IX. So that's 3 boosts, the third being the most massive.



Tag - "No trolling on my watch!"

Japan, with a population of 120 million people can´t handle sales of more than 100,000 units each week for a single console forever.

The market is just not big enough, that´s why DS numbers are going down. Remember, the Playstation 2 sold about 3.5 million units each year, while the DS sold 4 million, 8 million and 7 million in 2005, 2006 and 2007.

The market can´t handle those sales forever.



surely though Louie - there's potentially several DS's in every household where PS2 doesn't (I know that they break etc but still).



 


I don't know why people think DS sales dropping is such a huge surprise. The PS2 had much lower down periods at the the same time in its lifetime, dropping as low as 30k's numerous times. If you look at post holiday sales for the PS2, the sales dropoffs are expected.
