Forums - Sales Discussion - The TEN WEEK countdown - begins now!

If the preliminary Japan numbers are correct, it looks like Shams will actually be closest for this last week, which is pretty impressive.

(why i lowered the total from Zucas' i don't know...i have always thought 6M over Nov/Dec [this includes a week in Oct too].. oh and originally Zucas put a total of 6M but the weekly numbers didn't add up....so i corrected it)

 

Total numbers are up, and all previous numbers were again updated. (they keep going up)

The total number of consoles sold for the 10 weeks is 6,533,654 which rounds up to 6534k, but due to the rounding of weekly numbers in the table only came to 6533k.

Console Wii
Total
6,533,654
America
2,919,494
Japan
1,151,510
Total Others
2,462,650

The Americas was the obvious leader in total sales but the 'Others' region is very close, much closer than I would have guessed when due mainly to Thanksgiving, sales are generally much higher in November for USA compared to Europe... perhaps the massive shortages stopped America reaching it's potential (as opposed to 'Other' where only UK had as much of a problem as America)
Japanese sales are less than half of the other two regions, which is expected, particulary at this time in the year with Japan being traditionally low through all of November, and only picking up mid December.

 

Prediction wise; despite Shams not getting his weeks in the right order, he was closest for this weeks sales.
Overall numbers;
Shams: 1243k under
Zucas: 833k under
TWRoO: 858k under

In terms of who best predicted each week:
1st week = Draw for me and Zucas
2nd week = All three draw
3rd week = All three draw
4th week = Draw for me and Zucas
5th week = Draw for Shams and Zucas
6th week = Draw for me and Zucas
7th week = Zucas
8th week = Shams
9th week = Draw for me and Zucas
10th week = Shams

Oddly Shams managed two weeks being closer than both me and Zucas despite being much further overall.
and I pretty much failed on a weekly basis, obviously I would be drawing with Zucas a lot (I just edited his numbers) but it seems my new numbers didn't help.
I think I indicated the general trend of the numbers quite well though (ie week after thanksgiving is actually bigger than thanksgiving... and not so huge a drop for week 10) so I am quite pleased, the only exception was the drop for week 8, but I wasn't expecting the American numbers to trend like that.
