Wii numbers seem really high.. I'm not sure is there is some overtracking going on (not to sound like I'm trolling). I did expect Wii to go over 1mil, but not 1.5mil.. o_o;;; Didn't Wii have some overtracking issues last year as well?

PS3 is doing really well. :) I'm glad. I want to see regional numbers soon.

No serious. It really is doing terrible when you think about it

I'm going to repost what I said in the article comments:



Who the hell is buying this thing? All my friends, who all game to various extents haven't touched one since brawl came out. No one in my whole extended family, friends of friends, or even minor acquaintances don't but it. So who is? I know we talk about casuals and how wii sells to grandmas and children, but I always figured it was more as much a joke as it was true. But is there really this vast audience of Grandmas and soccer moms eating this up? How does a console with such little rapport with the gaming audience sell so well?

Before anyone asks, I'm not mad, the wiis hardware success means little to me. I just can't wrap my head around it.

The chart says 1.2 million sold last year, or am I reading it incorrectly?

lol, yes it was the 360 that got the recent one.  i remember other ps3 sales of this type by walmart but if memory serves me correctly they seemed to be timed in the months leading up to a price drop/new model probably just to clear out old stock.

Certainly looks like you were right

I do I'm sorry all your friends haven't been interested in any of the great games since brawl, but that is probably because they refuse to even be remotely interested not because there are no good games.

Now answer this question. Who the hell buys a X360 or PS3. I know 0 people personally (other than myself) who have either.

Its up 50 percent YoY, its outsold its main competition by 200k, it has a good chance of breaking a million with the release of FF13 next week. How is it doing bad again?

What's going on Norlead, kid keeping you up.

Last year it did 1.2 million in the same week, so almost 400k more was sold this week than last year.

By thrend, I see 2 million next week vs 1.7 million it did last year.

I am not saying it's overtracked, it just sellling so damn much, my God.

Considering mine was a november deal last year at walmart, it wasn't to clear out old stock, as they didn't get a new model until much later. However, I wouldn't be suprised if they did that too.
