These are my estimates...some of which are more based more on reality than others
Wii - over 500k w/w...potentially up to 50% more (750k). I'd go 340k/180k/50k but we'll see.
360 - over 200k w/w...potentially up to 350k. I'd go 135k/124k/1k
PS3 - over 250k w/w...potentially up to 400k. I'd go 120k/160k/10k
MK Wii - ~100k J/ ~400k O/ ~800k A... 1.3 millon ?
GTA IV ~ 4.05 million (A)/~ 2.35 million (O) ~ 6.4 million w/w?
360 ~2.44/~1.01 - 3.45 million
PS3 ~1.61/~1.34 - 2.95 million

| kingofwale said: Bestbuy store I work at had the biggest shippment since... well, ever. all 51 of them. Sold 21 from Friday to Sunday. That compares to 31 PS3 sold and 23 Xbox sold. I had people asking me if GTAIV is coming to Wii, I just laughed and told them to get Mario Kart |
You're a real charmer.
@topic
Welp, if the Wii owns the PS3 this week WW, then I can laugh all up in Leo-J's face, so that's what I'm looking towards.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.

It's a little worrying how tiny the attachment ratio is for the biggest Nintendo franchise. if it indeed only sells 700-800K.
We all know that Nintendo's hardware is based purely on shipment |
No need to worry about Nintendo.
Also, of note, MKWii has already sold a million copies WW, before this week even happened.
If the Wii was selling like the PS3 is selling, that attach rate is quite good.
The fact is, the attach rate for the Wii is lower in America over a 12 month period according to Patcher, not because the Wii is selling less software than other consoles. It's almost certainly selling more worldwide and has been on a consistant basis.
The Wii's attach rate is slightly lower than the PS3's in America over the last year because the Wii has been selling so well, hardware wise, that it's nearly impossible for software sales to catch up. However, the Wii is doing a fine job of selling software despite its monumental hardware sales.
Seen the Others, and Japanese software charts lately?
It's funny when I actually classify America as country of least Nintendomination in software sales. It is still quite a dominating force here, however, there is actually some competition, unlike Others and Japan, pre GTAIV that is.
I blame Canada.
In the end, this all references back to the NYT article, which is still being used as ammo by Wii haters, as I find out in most posts about sales.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
All the GTA IV in my shop has dissapeared the first day ...
I don't understant how severals persons couls think it will sell less than 4 millions although ioi said 4.2 millions in day one !
Personnally I say :
GTA IV : 6 millions (3.5 in America , 2.5 in Others)
MK Wii : 1.32 millions (950 k in US , 320 k in Others, 100k in Japan)
Harware :
Wii : 500 k
PS3 : 300 k
360 : 240 k
Well, based on the fact that Grand Theft Auto is bigger than Halo, and should have an almost as good total on 360, I'll guess 3.7M for that one too. There are a bit more 360s out, so the same total seems fair to me. Give or take 200K. For Ps3 I'll go with 2.5M. The reason for that number, is as follows. 360 prediction / total 360s without Japan * total Ps3 without Japan * 120% as Ps3 games tend to have bigger AR on first week.
This totals 6200K, but I have a feeling I'm lowballing the X360, and therefore also the Ps3, so I say 6250 +/- 250K
Mario Kart Wii won't have as huge an opening as it has had in other countries. Here it will be more alike "Normal" Mario Kart openings. I guess a 600K total, with 330K from Europe and 70K from Japan. Total is about 1M, bringing the total sales up to around 3M, but probably a bit below.
For Wii Fit second week, I'm guessing 30K from Japan and 270K from Europe, making total sales 300K, making it an about 50% drop-off rate.
Wii hardware will be big in USA, but pretty low everywhere else. I'm assuming 80K Europe, 40K Japan and 280K USA making a total of 400K.
Ps3 hardware will have a boost from GTA IV (it launched in Europe too, right?) and end up at 220K Europe, 220K USA and 10K Japan, making it land at roughly 450K.
X360 hardware will not be as heavily affected as Ps3, but total will be around 360K. I have no territorial figures.
