Any question... Is this final or preliminary numbers??? Because the official site doesn't have them.

And Media Create... when???

And Wii sales keep on dropping as expected. Bad timing on Nintendo's part to cut the price when no games are coming out for a month. Next week it should drop once again since there are no notable games coming out.

The price cut barely put the Wii on par with last year sales. I don't think this is what Nintendo expected at all.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

uncharted 1 opening week in japan was 22,000 now it will reach 60,000 the triple and check the same date last year both Wii and ps3 are up (ps3 up 22k from last year)

Poor sales... I expected a little less than 100k from Uncharted 2... and about 35-37k for PS3.

Tsk Tsk Tsk... You don't even remember what your own predictions were.

well ps3 will continue to dominate(29 october bayonetta ,tekken 6 ,the last rebellion)until december with a lot of games to support it


What exactly is PS3 dominating? It sure as hell isn´t Wii since they are both tied in hardware right now and Wii is having bigger softwaresales (so if anything Wii is dominating but I would certainly not call it that).

If one is to be nice to Sony one can say that it´s a tie right now regarding the consolerace in Japan but the one who is dominating Japan is as usual NDS with both huge sales in hardware and software. In Japan we should not look at things in terms of consoles and portables being in separate markets. Since they very clearly are competing in the same arena for custumers. NDS is this generations PS2 in Japan saleswise, that is the only proper way to look at it.

U2 did decent.



darthdevidem01 on 21 October 2009

ioi is right

but still the drop off compared to 1st day sales is very steep

So the PS3 bubble finally burst, FF13 will give it a nice bump but that's it for PS3.

Gran Turismo 5 says hello lol


Yes, I totally forgot about it, that one too will give it a bump, but that's it for PS3 :p

Because there are no other games that'll boost it for the rest of its lifetime. Like Yakuza 4 in the Spring or Resonance of Fate in January.

EDIT: Actually, just go ahead and look at a release list.
