Look kantor, the DS may have peaked, but it ebtter have, the things been out AGES

If wii has peaked this early its a SHOCK, I am not willing to accept the market leader has peaked in the second year

 

I'm sure I've brought this up a million times, but again... The PS2 peaked in its second year.

It isn't a problem if the consoles have already seen their peak (obviously much more so for the DS). It's all about whether or not they can sustain high sales for the next couple years.

It peaked at it's third year, it may be true that it peaked at it's second "large spike", but if you'll check, that spike is after 140-150 from the PS2's launch.



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

PS3 got a 30k adjustment on last weeks sales, nice.

Good numbers all round.

What caused the big 360 boost?

9% isn't really a boost. It's just regular fluctuation.

Meh, a boost is a boost.

@darth...

PSP Go released in Japan 1st November. These numbers are for week ending 31st October.

not for japan, japan is always tracked a day ahead compared to the others, Japenese SOFTWARE is up & its says for week ending "1st november"

@Leo-j

I know that, but look at the 1st day sales of DSi, PSP-3000 & so on

I am just not impressed, frankly disappointed.

@letsdance

The sales are bad compared to my expecations based on past re-design hardware bumps in Japan

redesigns meant to take the old models place. This just means to get better sense. I dont know whyd anyone expect a new model not meant to be upgraded by a previous owner at a higher price would do better than it did...

Dsi was costlier than DS Lite

& its not a replacement either.....as they still sell DS Lite's

Didn't stop DSi from being a phenomenon in Japan at launch

+ in Japan people buy re-designs like crazy, it HAS disappointed in comparison to that

Serious question though: who REALLY thinks the PS3 will catch the 360 in total WW sales? I still don't think it will, though the gap will close to about 4mill, but no more IMO.

It can and will be done.

CGI - isn't shipment already at a 4 million gap? It will catch it no problem in my opinion.

ME, always have & always will until I am proven wrong

I just see it in this way, PS3 is outselling 360 despite being costlier by $100 & it hasn't got a GT or FF game yet

I still thinkw hen it reaches $199 even more amazing sales will come

Unless NATAL changes everything I am confident CGI

I have a question... are the R&C sales good? I mean, it did 100K in America according to the numbers out now.

It should do maybe a little more than half that in Europe and that's better than TOD. So that's 150-200K first week for sales. Throw in some decent legs and you have a success.

Was anyone expecting different?

It Only Does Everything. Believe .

Darth - I like you and all but I'm just going to be blunt here. That is a dumb way of looking at it. Nintendo has had a monopoly in the handheld business for 20 years. There is no reason to put PSP up against it. The PSP held its own and for the first time ever Nintendo was challenged in that market. If you expected Nintendo like sales thats your own fault

ITs around a 30K HIGHER opening than R&C:TOD whichc ame out on PS3 in fall 2007.

you decide if thats impressive, meh, ok, or terrible

imo its ok....nothing to worry about "yet"
