Forums - Sales - DS Wii Cooling off in Japan

SaviorX on 30 July 2008

Anybody think the release of Monster Hunter 3 will cause a sales spike? What did Dragon Quest V do for the DS in terms of sales boosts?



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

@ psrock: I think it was only released last quarter, wasn't it?

True Wii and DS are cooling down...PS3 and X360 are freezing to death.

I don't really think it matters so much considering what the DS has managed before "cooling down"

I don't think anyone is denial about the DS being saturated in Japan...

Considering how it's still selling in the 40k range on a slow week, I'm going to say that I deny it's saturated in Japan.

No, what's happening here is that its earlier success was so outrageously high that we've become accustomed to 100k+ weeks for the past few years: the fact that 40k is still insanely high for a system that's four years old and has yet to see a single price cut tells me the market isn't saturated just yet.

Cooling off? Yeah... Still selling really well? Yep.

Seconded.

OMG ... DmesiterJ what have you done ? You have opened the gates of hell :P

Well the DS did a hell lot before so it was expected that sooner or later this will happen . Wii has a lot in front of it , and until we will see another boost the PSP will keep the throne warm :)

Lower yes but still a marathon ahead of the others.
