Forums - Sales - Famitsu sales (10/19 – 10/26)

a pretty big difference for PSP between Famitsu and MC (40K vs 33K)

PS3 certainly perform beyond my expectation and the number is likely to go up a little with Bayonetta and Tekken.

Wii needs its November software lineup to perform better after PS3 offered stronger October software lineup.



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

I knew that but that's not what I meant.

umm... you know, estimates can be off sometimes, guys. If you make a stink whenever the PS3 numbers are lower and Wii are higher but don't mention anything when the opposite happens, it's going to seem like the PS3 is always getting undertracked. I doubt that's the case, though. Just an observation :)

The difference between the PS3 numbers of Famitsu, M-C and VGchartz doesn't seem reasonable though. I also saw 428: Fuusa Faseta and Yakuza 3 in the top 30/50 from M-C a couple of weeks ago, even though according to the VGchartz numbers they have been selling like 200-400 units a week lately.

Does VGchartz actually track the Japanese data, because outside of the top 50 it all seems like ramdom numbers to me. I still remember how wrong they tracked the re-release of Valkyria CHronicles (the best edition), and suddenly changed the numbers when M-C comfirmed that it at already sold 30k or something like that.



Sorry... wrong post.

MH3 out of the top 30?

Actually it's no. 24 according to Famitsu... Not much lower than it was last week as far as sales numbers.
