Forums - Nintendo - Wiik 41 2007, The sale of the Wii.

Hi all. MrStickball makes a post every week about the week for the 360. I thought it would be nice to have such post about the Wii, or the PS3 (kber? or any other PS3 fan?). It will be my first, so bare with me a little, but I hope I will better week after week (if you all are intrested).

America - or what the hell is...

The Wii sold 95,800 units this week. It got again outsold by the 360.

#1 What is Bleach: Shattered Blade? Nobody seem to had it on their list, but it is #2 on the Wii Top game list.

#2 Zelda:TP should reach 2 Million sold in America next week.

#3 The Donkey Kong revival bommed, hard. No wonder, considering the review score.

#4 Resident Evil4 has good legs. I can see a revival next if RE:UC come out

#5 Metroid is dropping quite fast, considering it review scores and it is coming from Nintendo. Maybe it gets a revival at Christmas, but I would say that isn't good news for the Hardcore on the Wii.

Overall a weak week for software on the Wii. No wonder, no really new big thing hits the Wii, that should change in the end of October/Begin of November. The hardware should be about 95k next week, no big titles are coming to give Nintendo (or shops holding some back) reason to release those units.

Japan

The Wii Sold 19,660 units this week. Hardware sales are still flat in Japan. That should change with Galaxy, but will most likely be around the same next week.

#1 Wii Sports and Play both are up 10% despite a dropp in the hardware.

#2 DragonBall Z has quite a bumb this week.

 

Europe

The Wii sold 75,033 units in the other countrys. Thats up about 12k more than last week. It got outsold by the PS3 the first time since the release of the PS3. People in this forum are reporting that the Wii is hard to get in the UK. Amazon is backing them up, however UK seems to be the only country with supply issues. The question is if UK get backs to "normal" or if the supply issues will spread around Europe with the release of MP3 right around the corner. For the next week I would expect lower unit sold. 68k seems about right.

 

Well this was my first Wiik. I hope it is interesting. If I missed something, feel free to post.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Nice always wanted one of these to go with 360 charts.

Oh and mrstickball does the PS3 charts also.

Very proud of Bleach. Game rocks. Only anime besides Trigun I like.



Should add in the % comparisons in software sales to last week, too. *thumbs up*

And RE4: Wii Edition continues to amaze me haha. Hopefully by the end of the year should be over 500k in America alone. Not bad considering the circumstances.



good job, hope you do keep posting these regulary, good to see 5 out of the top 10 being third party, even if it is a poor week



Those people that think they're perfect give a bad reputation to us who are... 

"With the DS, it's fair to say that Nintendo stepped out of the technical race and went for a feature differentiation with the touch screen, but I fear that it won't have a lasting impact beyond that of a gimmick - so the long-lasting appeal of the platform is at peril as a direct result of that." - Phil Harrison, Sony

RE4 is amazing. I think I will make a thread about it.

@Just_Ben: I look forward to next weeks edition of the wiik.

Really appreciate the effort you put into this, Just_Ben. Thanks so much!

The only things I would recommend are adding last weeks software sales as a column, and as DKII said, showing the percentage drop in another column. Great stuff!
