Forums - Sales - Famitsu Hardware 10/19 to 10/25 - PS3 > Wii

its pretty clear the ps3 outsold the wii last week so numbers should be changed. isnt media create supposed the be the most accurate? i heard nintendo and sony use them for japan sales.



Around the Network

dengeki, media create, and famitsu all have the ps3 outselling wii, by atleast 4k.

can I just say one thing

I am absolutely amazed @ PS3 sales & so disappointed in wii sales

I mean really has any 3rd place console done this ever?

I don't recall specific numbers but I know Sega Saturn did really well in Japan. It even beat N64 I think.

It did, in Japan. (Says VGC)


The PS3 can't really be called a "third place console" when referring to Japan, since... it was never the third place console in Japan, which is the only thing that matters in that region.

As for whether it's ever been done before, the PSP did outsell the DS for a few months, in a similar fashion. So, unless the Wii is outsold for the rest of the year (or lifetime), it's not unlike what happened last year.



It looks that VGC is 5k-6k low for PS3 when compared to Famistu and MC. Wii is about right around 25k-26k.

If it actually were the 3rd place console in Japan outselling it's competition I would be really amazed.

 

OT:

It seems like VGChartz is a bit off

A guy who predicted PS3 slim 1st week sales of 200k & 2nd week 80k...oh the irony!!! *face palm*

OT: Is VGC gonna fix/adjust it or not?

ioi said that if there are adjustements do be made, then they will do it.

Probably this week ps3 was a bit over Wii, 3-4k...the important sales are not started so you can complain if in the holidays's sales there are great errors (like 10-20k), this 4k is just little. I thought VGC used also Famitsu, MC and Dengeki to track Japan, in this case there are other sources who have Wii>Ps3?



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

A good week for PS3

i wonder y vgc different. whos right whos wrong?

I think it's because Famitsu numbers were late this week, so VGC had to use their own sources without benchmark to compare against.
