What's the "weeks ahead" stat at now? Kinda lame that the updates stopped basically as soon as it was clear Wii would win. :/

ViolentPhlegm lost interest when it was clear the Wii would win.

What makes you think that FF13 will sell 1.6 million in its first week, when Famitsu says it won't even sell that in its lifetime?

Sorry, i just had to quote this. But still, you were pretty much spot on with this one if we ignore the end of the year bit.

Anyway, On Topic:

Did Zorro make this thread before the Wii pricecut was confirmed?

If so, i think he could have been right if things stayed the same as they were. Anyway, congrats to Wii. Was a much closer fought battle than most people expected.

The other funny thing besides people believing PS3 would get there first was the belief they would probably pass the respective marks the same week..Will probably take PS3 over a month to get to 5m after Wii tops 10m.

Also the hilarity of this thread had me smiling incredulously at some of the comments. I mean put context in the mix. People were going to claim 'victory' if PS3 passed a milestone of 5m before a Wii passed 10m? How funny is that. Its in the similar vein of COorD's thread about PS3 sales WW passing Wii's in America.



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.

Updated figures: Wii at 9.99 M and PS3 at 4.83 M, roughly 9K left for Wii and 170K left for PS3. Wii has won pretty much.

You are using the rounded numbers for the Wii and PS3 Life time to date sales. The actual number for the life time to date sales of the Wii is 9,985,268. This means that the Wii needs to be above 15K next week to win this award. Yes, it's semantics but it will all be over next week.



If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba
