Forums - Sales - Media Create Sales: 04/06 - 04/12 (Hardware) - X360 almost outsells Wii!

Very dangerous moments for the Wii in Japan. After MHG there's nothing that could move hardware, until late June with WSR. How low would it get in those weeks??

I don't wanna sound like a pessimist, but I can see sub 10k for some weeks. Never ever thought the Wii craze would have died so fast there. Nintendo is greatly to blame, no excuses.

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.

tres, I have one problem with WSR - is it really going to attract new audience, or just people who played Wii Sports?



Dunno, if people buy new Wii's it would be for M+ mostly. No doubt the game will sell craploads, after all there's a userbase of about 3.5 million that bought the original. Will be a situation like Brain Training and More Brain Training. The bad part is Nintendo waited too long before releasing the follow up, meaning the momentum has been probably lost.

I don't think WSR by itself will help HW that much, M+ on the other hand will, but if Nintendo doesn't release some 2 or 3 games quickly, like weeks or 1 month after they released M+, I see a big catastrophe happening there. They better have something ready, depending solely on WSR until the holidays will mean terrible things.

I have no doubt Wii Sports Resort will sell millions, I just wonder whether it will expand the userbase, or just attract old WS customers.

If anything's going to drive Wii sales, it's MH3.



*scratches head*

What the hell? and with no games to boot?



Around the Network

Why are ppl scared about Wii sales???

Lets see
--Huge games coming up ---MH3,DQ10, Wii sports, punch out, excite bots
--No price cut yet
--No colours,gimmicks,updates
--Motion Sensing coming up

AND
ITS STILL OUTSOLD THE COMPETITION 2:1



It's a mad mad world eh haha.

Very different from Famitsu. Been awhile since they've disagreed by this much on a few things.



wii needs something.
yikes.
and what is doing on with ds.

i feel nintendo is bursting



hello how are you.

Why is there such a large variation between MC and Famitsu?

I like Media Create better though ;)

What!?

Am I missing something? Why would the 360 get such a boost...

 

Wasn't there a new 360 SKU launched in Japan? something to do with a larger internal memory or something?

Either way, nice sales for them for a (recent) change.

Wii...I just dunno

Out of interest, which is considered more "correct", MC or Famitsu? i can never remember.

My secret agenda is that PS3 appears to have slightly outsold the Wii again with these numbers

I'm not a 100% sure about this but I think Media Create has more sources thats why it takes MC so long to get there numbers up compared to Famitsu.
