Forums - Sales - Media Create Numbers : 10/1 - 10/7 - DS Reigns Again

@vagabond:
I have written: I think that Wii is doing worse than it the average in its lifetime.

I didn't mean worse absolute terms but worse than it was doing earlier compared to PS3.
There of course have been better and worse time for Wii and PS3 but on average Wii is selling 3 times as good as PS3. LTD numbers (3.66mln Wii vs 1.21 mln PS3) show it pretty clear. But now Wii advantage over PS3 isn't as high as it used to be, now it's sales ratio is 2:1 for Wii, average in PS3/Wii lifespan is 3:1. That's what I meant and actually I thought I was pretty clear about it.

@ElRhodeo: Last week wasn't that bad. This week only Japanese are late but most intresting numbers can be found in "Famitsu Japan Game Charts 2007-10-01/ 2007-10-07 and Sales" in the news section anyway, so I don't think it's a big of a problem.

Why are people thinking the Wii is doomed because it isn't selling out anymore? Did they really expect that the console would sell out for its entire life cycle? Just because the sales have dropped doesn't mean people have lost interest, it just means it isn't selling out.

If the Wii wasn't selling more than every other home console or if they were less than one or two thousand then people can worry, but when the Wii is still on top of all the home consoles it isn't in trouble.

The Wii really isn't enjoying the success the DS has had in Japan. A few months back, I was sure it'd still be selling 70k plus around now.

 Actually, you may want to check out Japan's console charts

The DS didn't really hit it's stride until it's second year. The wii is a couple hundred thousand ahead of it at this point in the race so far.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

 Not really, they were 132k on famitsu, 100k on m-create, and these are m-create numbers so it's a much smaller drop.
