@jhon: That means there's no excuse for the Wii performing worse if one of their competitors are seeing a very healthy increase. If 360 sales are up, so can the Wii sales. It's just a matter of SW really.

So can you explain the PS3 situation too??

 

You're comparing last year's Winning Eleven launch week to the week prior to Winning Eleven release this year.

 

sure but it's unlikely that ps3 gets to 55k next week.

Of course, but it makes more sense to compare those weeks than the ones he was comparing. Software releases are far more important than which week of the year was closest.

Anyway, Media Create numbers for this week last year were:

Software


02./00. [PS2] World Soccer Winning Eleven 2008 (Konami) - 293,926 / NEW
03./00. [PS3] World Soccer Winning Eleven 2008 (Konami) - 141,432 / NEW
Hardware


機種 販売台数
DSL 116,694
PSP 75,027
Wii 54,362
PS3 50,564
PS2 14,875
Xbox360 7,117
GC 44
GBM 42
GBASP 31
GBA 9

 

 

And this time the ps2 version of PES has been delayed.  It won't hit until early 2009.

 

really?  i didn't know about that.  Why are they doing that?



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Probably to encourage PS2 owners to upgrade to the PS360 version.

@BBK2: Also Wii version has been delayed way further ahead. I think it's even further along the way than the PS2 version. Looks like Konami may be doing this to avoid people buying the Wii version. Their most important market are the HD's, so they shouldn't be mixing both markets. That's why the Wii version sells so terribly, because it comes out 8 months later, and people are already considering waiting for the next version, which is only 4 months after the Wii version gets released. Wii can never win, everyone is against it.

@ trestres

Ok, now. I'm going to have to ask you to shut up. Everyone isn't against the Wii.

@outlaw: Everyone, wasn't "everyone" literally... You get the idea anyways.

It's only delayed in Japan though, right? 

I'm assuming Sony had something to do with it.  They lose the least amount of money on the ps3 in Japan (hell, they might not lose any on it at this point), and I'm sure they want to keep this string of new releases going, so sales never have a chance to die down.  Cutting off the ps2 version of PES should help a good bit.  And after PES comes White Knight.

I think 350k for Animal Crossing must be a typo, as both Gpara and the earlier leak have it at 305k.

Gpara is 100% reliable. I guess previous source (Inside Games) mixed the numbers up.

Wii Music sure got



Vanadium2k8 on 27 November 2008

Well according to Famitsu, Wii Music sold 9.8k last week and 9k this week.



Bet - "PES 2009 (PS3) will sell (closer to) 150k first week in Japan" - Pooperscopper
"It will sell closer to 125k" - Me I agree. ME = OWNED :(

End of '09 Predictions:

Wii: 78 million
X360: 35 million
PS3: 27 million
