DS LL didn't bomb, but it didn't seem to have much impact on software either. Just existing users buying another HW revision.

True.  Nothin' wrong with that though - at least in the case of the DS.

3. Who loves Final Fantasy in Japan and doesn't already own a PS3? The game has been announced for 3+ years.

Is that is why PS3 sales jumped this year in April from 15k to 60k( 60,361 (+289%) ) during FFXIII demo bundle release?

Also, there are some people, who waited 29,980 yen PS3 price before getting FFXIII. Not to mention, that PS2 sales also increased during FFX release(which came on 2nd year of PS2 life).

I'm just using the logic of "Who loves Mario in Japan and doesn't already own a Wii?". I didn't say it is the case.



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.

2. When Wii Fit + was released, Wii hardware jumped from 13K to 33K and it opened with 330K. Who loves Wii Fit in Japan and doesn't already own a Wii? Can you explain why a direct sequel causes such a spike (hardware boost = 6% software)? And NSMB Wii is not really a direct sequel to SMG.

 


Um... That was the week of the price cut.

then it's explained.

DSi LL does come with pre-installed DSiWare games though... that may have blunted additional software purchases by some.

The difference between Wii and PS3 in Japan is 9M vs 4M in 3 years. PS3 is getting it`s first huge(1M+) game in Japan, while Wii already had around 5 huge games in Japan. We shall see, hiow big will be impact from NSMB.

Wii's had 6 million+ JP sellers so far (Wii Sports, Play, Fit, Fit+, Sports Resort, Mario Kart), and 2 more that almost hit a million (Mario Galaxy, MH3).  NSMBWii will be the seventh, then they also have at least one more sure million seller (DQX) in the pipeline.

PS3's getting it's first and (possibly) last million seller in FFXIII.  GT5 may manage it too, but that's far from a sure thing.

Versus 13 is also a possiblity.

Not that it really matters or anything, but actually, Super Mario Galaxy hit a million in Japan a while back and is now at 1,06 million.

Hmmm Wii has more than 6 million sellers in Japan.

Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit, Wii Fit+, Wii Play, Animal Crossing: City Folk, Super Mario Galaxy, Mario Party 8, Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros Brawl. That's already 10 million sellers.

MH3 and NSMBWii to be added before 2010, so 12 at the beginning of 2010.
