Since Wii and PS3 are so close this time in MC, Wii > PS3 probably in Famitsu.

But I wonder where VGC will have it as.

But whatever is higher, it doesn't really matter since the difference is like...1k? Who cares.

I care. I care a lot. I'm a person and my opinion matters too. The Wii is doing horribly in Japan.

 

 

My opinion: Who cares, all consoles are doing pretty pathetic. They just need big games to come out and it'll be better.

All consoles are doing fairly pathetically everywhere. But the Wii is down horribly year over year. Don't try and defend sales that are clearly bad, it's a losing battle.

Just for comparison:

http://vgchartz.com/japweekly.php?date=39565&console=&maker=&disp=Japanese+Name&boxartz=2

No big new Wii releases (except for Mario Kart which launched 2 weeks earlier) and a big PS3 release. Wii outsells PS3 5:1. There are no excuses (this is year over year). No matter how badly the Wii is doing or how sparse its release list is, it shouldn't be getting consistently outsold by the second place console. It...is...doing...proportionally badly. The PS3 may not be selling great in Japan either, but relative to the size of the market and the other consoles, it's doing great. Plus its sales are 200% of last year's, whereas the Wii is only about 40%.

No games = no sales. No surprise. Wii's still riding off games from last year. Second half will clearly be better.

Damn, hopefully the Wii gets its games soon so it can realize its true P_O_T_E_N_T_I_A_L. We shall all soon know discipline.

But this is already posted and we have a weekly Japanese Sales thread that already has this data in it.

Hahaha once again, ps3 fans jumped at the Ps3> Wii... but remember, those people are the same that claimed that sales didn't matter... yet, they throw big parties whenever PS3>Wii.... Interesting.

Still, japan is pretty horrible. Even handheld sales look crappy.



03/10/09 HUGE day in my life:

Or is that PS3 only?

@Sephiroth

So...what if Famitsu has Wii higher (Famitsu tracks more stores, btw)? Can we say the same things about the PS3?

Point is you're using the same lame excuses that Sony fanboys have used time and time again and you know it (and I could probably easily find posts from you criticizing them for it).

Whew, I'm glad that you pointed this out so that I didn't have to.

wat? What excuses?

Yeah, the Wii is doing terribly. So is the PS3 and 360. All this means is that they're all doing shit...just a certain console is in slightly better shit.

So the Wii is selling like shit because it doesn't have any games, but the PS3 is selling like shit because it's getting good games? This is like...the easiest argument to win that I've ever been in.

The PS3's had good games...and it got good boosts. But now it's back to Wii levels (which has gotten absolutely nothing big). And now the difference between them is...1k? Wow.

I see this is going nowhere, so I'm just gonna drop this argument.

2k.
