@ihira, like Viper1 already told you, but you didn't listen: Nintendo diverted those consoles to U.S. because they knew they wouldn't outsell them in Japan at this moment.

I will repeat this in case you will skip it.

yeah i was just thinking the same as linkzmax, the "divertion" of consoles is an effect of low numbers and not a cause, since its available they dont need to send an extra 75k every week to stuff the retail channel, therefore they divert those consoles elsewhere.... now that I think of it, U.S. Wii has beat DS again this month. And Europe sales went up too...

115k US
90k Eu
30k japan

If you add those up you get the magic number of 235k units for this week (thats actually your average 230k week we have been having all year long)

And last week it was even higher


120k US
100k Eu
40k JP

thats 260k 10% above average, I guess it was because of Metroid Prime 3. But the thing is, even if in japan sales have slowed down, worldwide they havent.

No interesting releases. Except Crisis Core for the PSP is the only interesting release, WII first interesting title end of October. 

And for once, cut that crap about Japan shipping WII's to the US, WII is normal available on different websites and "not" sold out. You can say that about all the hardware as they're all dropping.

I think the thyphoons/hurricanes have something to do with the decline in sales, but nevertheless the psp is selling well so maybe its not because of that.

Just in case you haven't noticed Leo, PSP got the biggest drop, see Uma's post.

DS is Dooooooooomed
