Ok, thanks for the info lads, so this is a genuine, Japan-like drop in Wii sales...



CrazzyMan on 14 May 2009

It would be nice, if PS2 outsold x360...))

Overall, good sales for Sony console family, since, probably they are making a profit this month. =)

Anyway, recession?

Btw, probably Japan+NA PS3 > Japan+NA x360. =)



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.


Gran Turismo 3 - 1,06 mln. in 3 weeks with around 4 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Gran Turismo 4 - 1,16 mln. with 18 mln. PS2 on the launch.

Final Fantasy X - around 2 mln. with 5 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 2.4 mln. with 12 mln. PS2 on the launch.

 

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
PS2 2001 vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =) + New games released in Japan by 2009 that passed 100k so far

I hope they show the top 20.

Remember GTA was released last April



Zucas on 14 May 2009

Last April Wii had Mario Kart and Brawl released the last month. Not to mention sold out. This month... it had nothing and not sold out with not games released int he last few months to boost sales. It's no surprise it is that far down.

But considering the large scale of last April none of this is too surprising. People don't need to look into it that much. It was almost expected. Good hold with Wii and DS software. RE5, though, dropped like a bomb. My goodness haha.
