Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.

what a group effort! (tres, I'm contributing to your VG$ right now)



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

I think starting from next week until december 31st, Wii will outsell PS3 by about 20k. This means that in total, Wii wins the holiday season with 90k.

In other words: a virtual tie.



Wii will DOMINATE JAPAN AMERICA AND OTHERS AND WW SALES these holidays!!!

Not updating yet, until I see the numbers from all trackers, due to big discrepancies between VGC's numbers and MC numbers.

Updated YTD Sales: PS3 1072k vs Wii 1144k

This week all the trackers had PS3 on top of the Wii by 5k units or so, while VGC had the Wii on top pf the PS3. I'm using VGC numbers for my thread, so there will be discrepancies.

Isn't it established that Media Create at the very least can predict better than VGChartz? If I had to take a guess with one source I would pick them, VGchartz seems to have to fix under and overtrackings a bit too much.



Well, I will use VGChartz, already started with their numbers.

Also October has finished, and the month went to the PS3. November looks much better for the Wii, but next week should go to the PS3.

Where did you get these figures from? Using VGChartz's hardware table, I got these figures from the week ending January 4th to the week ending October 31st, 2009:

Console Wii PS3
Japan
1,040,229
1,044,730

And that's not including this week's numbers, which should bring the ps3 up to ~1,079k, and the Wii up to ~1,068k.

Did you not take into account the adjustments for these past few weeks?
