Forums - Sales Discussion - Wii 10 mln. or PS3 5 mln. in Japan. Who first?

^^ yeah plus NSMB effect seems like it will carry on for at least a couple of months in japan. I'm not saying Wii sales are gonna be set on fire, but at least comfortably outselling the PS3 by 2:1 till march. By then anything can happen like we've seen this year

New Year's Week Update:

Please check newbie's thread for week-to-week tracking of the ioi vs. ZorroX projection contest:

http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=88468&page=1

1) Last week's numbers have been adjusted down: Wii by 13k and PS3 by 30k.

2) Wii has now sold over 1 million units since the start of the race.

3) From here on in, I will also give the time lead which is how long ago the lead console reached the trailing console's corresponding current total.  In this week's case, PS3's total is 4,579,587 so the time lead would be how many weeks ago Wii surpassed 9,579,587.

WEEK ENDING JAN 3 Wii to 10M PS3 to 5M Lead (%lead vs competitor)
LTD total 9,674,461 4,579,587 Wii: 5,094,874 (111.3%)

1) Media Create numbers are about 4k less than VGC for both consoles.

2) Sony announced this week that Gran Turismo 5 will not be released in March after all, which makes the PS3's chances of catching up seem quite bleak.

hard to imagine ps3 reaching 5m before wii reaches 10m at this point. It's been a pretty interesting comparison though.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Wow, actually in november i though that ps3 was actually going to get the milestone first. Now, things have changed, huh?



NSMBW gave Wii a mighty boost.

Momentum shifted. It looks like the Wii might leg it out and win this thing, but it was an interesting race.



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

Yeah, it was... but then, how interesting can a "I'll reach the goal before you reach the halfway mark" race really be?  lol!

Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.
