Numbers for same week last year

Wii sold 77k which means Wii fell 51k 66% yoy
360 sold 4k which means increase of 3k up 75%


Have to sale PS3,PSP and Wii numbers are horendous year over year all posting over 40% drops. The story of Japan wether people want to admit it or not is that the 360 is now doing much better while the others are doing much worse.

 

Did you forget something ?

Going from 3.000 to 4.000 for 360 is still going from horendous sales to... horendous sales

Going from 51.000 to 77.000 for Wii is still being the best selling non handled system to... being the best selling non handled system

Also what changed from 2008 to 2009 is that 360 is now cheaper than chewing gum in Japan, not sure MS is doing any more profit than Nintendo, which probably cut production prices but had no price cut yet...

 

So for me : 360 position in Japan is still desperate. Wii will certainly have a Wii Sport or Wii Fit bundle coming with new colors or price cut anytime soon, doubling it's sales

I'm fairly sure that's its first week.  Can't have legs in the first week of sales.

Wii is definitely declining, but people in panic mode should really consider that Wii isn't even bundled with a game in Japan. They can bundle with Wii Fit, Wii Sports or Mario Kart before even introducing new colours or a pricecut.

Also don't forget that Wii was tracking exactly like PS2 in Japan through December.

Monster Hunter is just beastly.



"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
