Brilliant just brilliant for nintendo!

Also VG Chartz is DEAD ON!

For hardware yes, but unless there's over 55M software lieing around in shops, we're off like hell on software.

 

VGchartz will always be off on total software because it only tracks the top 200 each week.  That means none of the titles that are 201 and below get their numbers counted for that week. 

It isn't a perfect system, but it is good enough.  It is the same way NDP does it.

 



Congrats, Nintendo. Your comeback is a testimony to your commitment to your fans. May you always have a place in the console industry.

No, that isn't how we do it.

If you look up the top 50 for each console, and add the totals toghether, that is lower than the total sold for most weeks. This means that VGC also gets an estimate for how much more has been sold. This one is far too low. (Or at least if my theory is correct)

Stunning results. Wii is on track to break a lot of records.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Fullfilled Prophecies

Nintendo still upping the sales forecasts for Wii and DS. Let's see... if the lifetime shipped number for Wii is 52m at the end of March 2009, the sell-through should be a little over 50m. We have a bit less than six months to go until reaching that point (24 weeks). Nintendo is projecting to sell about 16m Wiis in those 24 weeks.

Do the math and you get an average of... about 650,000 Wiis per week. Yikes! This holiday season is going to be insane.



My Website

End of 2008 totals: Wii 42m, 360 24m, PS3 18.5m (made Jan. 4, 2008)

Signature goes here!

So in the next 6 months, they will ship (27.5m - 10.1m) 17.4 million consoles.

Current production capacity is 2.4 million/month (14.4M for 6 months).  That means they have at least 3 millions Wiis stockpiled for the holidays.

They have about 165 billion Yen in finished goods as of September 30, up over 50 billion compared to June 30 and 72 billion compared to March 31. I assume some most of it will be DS and Wii hardware.

 



O.o no freakin' way
