awesome, thanks for posting this. Hopefully ioi will see this, and use whatever information he can gain from it.

One interesting thing to note is that Nintendo says there are 26 million sellers, with 12 being from 3rd parties. Now of course that is sold to stores, but 1 3rd party game is missing from our list, and has already shipped 1m units.

 Maybe Midway's Rampage - Total Destruction:

Over the last year we've had three titles become million plus unit sellers. Stranglehold as we mentioned earlier, Rampage: Total Destruction which originally launched in 2006 but has been a perennial catalog seller and hit one million units last year and Unreal Tournament 3." Midway CEO David Zucker

I doubt that it is Rampage: Total Destruction, only because when they said Unreal Tournament 3 was a million seller, they were talking about PC & PS3. They probably did the same with the Wii, PS2 and GC versions of Rampage.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

What do people think about the comparison with VGchartz? Both 360 and PS3 have pretty similar lines compared with VGchartz, although sales levels are higher for both consoles at VGchartz. Wii is a bit more stable in sales levels in the figure from Nintendo than VGchartz and also a bit higher on average. It is not clear where they got these numbers from though and it is also unclear if they include every single area or just some countries combined.



Last time they had a weekly European chart it only included UK, France, and Germany.





They said they left Spain out as the data wasn't as up to date as the others. It should be possible to work out which countries are included from the culmative sales.

Actually in that chart the Wii is about the same on average as VGC, but on VGC the PS3 is about 20k higher each week and the 360 is about 10-15k higher.

So either that Nintendo chart is only for a few Eu regions (and VGC is undertracking Wii)
or VGC is overtracking both PS3 and 360 by a similar percentage each.

But looking at the sales graphs for the UK, Germany and France you can make some estimations about the sales in the last 3 months. For Wii it indicates almost 500k sold in the UK, between 100-150k sold in Germany and 200-250k in France. Combined this only gets around 800-900k Wiis sold between those 3 countries, while their graph shows weekly sales around 100k. This leaves around 400k Wiis unaccounted for, so they probably added other countries to those numbers as well.  



It probably includes Spain. I'm working it out at the moment.



in one of the graphs the said "spanish data from acnielsen"

remember acnielsen data for spain is so different from vgchartz and is even incompatible with gfk numbers from october



Well VGC European numbers in total seem to agree with the Wii shipments, and VGC Wii weekly sales for those weeks seem to agree.

So if that graph is for all Europe then it means VGC has the Wii pretty much spot on, but the PS3 and 360 are higher

If that graph is missing some European countries (enough to mean that PS3 and 360 are correct) then it means that the Wii is slightly undertracked for those few weeks, but as the totals agree it must have been overtracked in 2007?

Unless Nintendo is playing us for the fool, and that blue line is what they shipped to Europe as a whole while the red/green is GfK (which won't include the UK)?
