I don't see how that makes sense. There's 2 weeks untill Wii Music is released. What Nintendo normally do, is have low sales for 2 weeks (well, 1-3 really), and then 1 huge week. This makes all the buyers pick up Wii Music too.

These sales, are in fact low in comparison to what you can expect to happen from Wii Music launch and out (not because of Wii Music though, but I expect Wii to > DS in Americas for 2nd half of October and November.

Unless I misunderstood you.

Wow at Wii sales!!! It shows that sales of the past weeks were due to supply issue.

But the point of my article was where Japan stands right now and not where it stood in the past.

Just go to this site:

http://www.stat.go.jp/english/data/handbook/c02cont.htm

and look at the population pyramid. You see that right now and even more in the future a helluva lot Japanese will retire. And that drives down the economy because the economy shrinks and the retirees must be paid by the remaining employees resulting in even lower console sales.

 First off:

CHILL THE FUCK OUT WITH THE ENTERS!

Second:

Last week

360:

170,641 (-7%)

Ps3

127,366 (+11%)

Difference - 43,275

This week

360:

151,097

Ps3:

125,720

Difference - 25,377

No need to question that, there is no chance they will have enough stock to make it.... at best the shipments won't pass 47 million, and unlikely pass 46 million.

I  excpect the impact of wii music too be unlike anything that exists

next week increase will be bigger, and after that the big bang will follow and casual will become bigger than core

Good point illuminatus. I was just trying to add a bit extra perspective, I really agree with what you say.

Holy crap! Wii kills all.

wii owns!!!!!!!!!!

Good lord, now I want to see Wii Fit sales.
