I'm really curious about next week, PS3 should win in Japan, but shortages might really kick in in Europe as the release of the 80 GB is getting closer!

 

 yes mabey 40gig shortages will hurt the number for next few weeks, once 80gig is out complete with dual shock 3 it should post huge numbers



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

Xbox360 domination ==> only 1 month

if no xbox360 price cut : PS3 > Xbox360 all the way

if xobx360 price cut : Xbox360 > PS3 for another 2 months



Time to Work !

Pretty good sales all around but it looks like the price of the systems and the summers months have affected sales.

so how are Wii only selling around 400,000 units a week so far in August - bearing in mind they upped production from July so around now we should surely be seeing more units shipped as a result of that increase.

Actually your question gives answer to itself. When you up the production, you need to replan your logistics. Since the new logistics model is seen in stores on a month delay, there's going to be chokes from time to time in the supply chain before the new model takes effect. Expect 400k in the Americas next week or the week after.

 

Also, what someone said, that retailers may start stockpiling for christmas to make sure, that customers visit their store during the period, when everything sells like crazy. But i'd find the supply choking before it goes up being the most plausible reason.

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.

So the PS3 sells a bit less than the Xbox this week and yet they get more market share? :-/

They were down last week to 22.3 % and now they've sold less (without Japanese sales included) and yet they're back to 22.4?

Oink?

Maybe the numbers were adjusted again.

There should probably be a sticky thread tracking any significant corrections in numbers to avoid future confusion.

If their previous overall marketshare was 22,3% and this weeks weekly marketshare is more than that, the overall marketshare goes up.

Actually, if you add up the percentages, the total is currently 100.1%
46.9
30.8
22.4
100.1

But true; if weekly sales posted significantly above the overall current percentage, the overall percentage would still go up slightly. Might still be at 22.3 with Japan sales added to the totals.

Due to roundings. Since VGC presents percentages in 0,1 accuracy, 22,34 is 22,3, when 22,35 would be 22,4. So apparently the PS3 share is pretty close to 22,35.

How can you be surprised about the low Wii number in NA?

It's obvious Nintendo prefers to sell their Wiis in Europe because 250 euro makes way more profit than 250 dollar!
