Damn, another Nintendo sweep.

Nothing to see here, the usual Nintendomination is going on. Okay jokes aside, any estimated numbers Y-Koron? You are always very accurate, I'm curious to see if FFXII:RW numbers are higher or lower than last week.

Woah, very late on Wednesday night this week! Well done y-koron!

 

And either this week is a very slow week for software (Pokemon made it back in the top ten at just under 20k) or D+P has had a sales rise this week for some un-known reason (golden week?)

wow, big brain sales go up by 20k? Super Paper Mario sales don't go down? Perhaps they will do better than i thought, especially big brain.

 Brain games tend to have long term sales, and Paper mario will likely be a long lasting Wii game

 

it looks like NSMB will never leave the top 25 

 

Did Wii sell out this week?

nobody knows if Wii sold out, but I would imagine that it's pretty close to meeting the extra demand from launch. I think we will start seeing sales trends now.

If the Wii maintains sales in the 70,000 range per week it will pass the Gamecube's total after being on the market for less than 1 year, if it does somewhat better than that and gets a good holiday boost it could pass the N64's lifetime total by January 1st 2008.
