1st reaction: Holy crap the Wii is high!

2nd take: Actually, the DS is running low. Must be post-holiday supply constraints.

Old news, the PS360 battle is far more interesting

Yeah because the battle for second place when the two systems will always share most of their games anyway is certainly more fun to discuss.h



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

Darksiders did more than I figured it would.

Bayoneta bombed? So now what is it? hardcore games do not sell on PS360? wajaja

I see that you conveniently left out darksiders which did 300k combined week 1.

Do you really expect EVERY PS360 game to sell well ? Bayonetta wasn't hyped up much until it got pretty good reviews and this is, if you haven't noticed, without PAL region sales.

So WW will be bigger and 150k First week for a new IP in one territory isn't bad.

crap. I made all my predictions for the PL based off last week and didn't realize I had to predict 2 weeks out. beings that I run the league you would think I would have remembered

Good numbers though

hmmm I bet 200k for army of 2 for 360, where the hell is it on the top 10???? Below 54k????!?!??!?!?

army of two is next week. these numbers aren't for the round we just entered. I'm saying crap though, because my numbers look like this week and we will see another drop between now and next weeks number




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

In regards to the Wii's YOY, keep in mind that it was heavily supply constrained at this point last year. Give it another week or two to see where sales will settle. Don't take that the wrong way, I'm not hating on the Wii. Impressive numbers for PS3 especially with it still being seemingly supply constrained.



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

Last year:
Wii 106,266
360 103,281
DS 101,626
PS3 72,395
PSP 68,592
PS2 34,203

Wii up 51% YoY
DS similar
PS3 up ~30% YoY
360 down slightly

Wow, seeing this week sales I though Wii was not as high as last year, just because this week it has just 45-46% of Americas sales (without handhelds)...but if it's up 50% it's great for Nintendo!



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

Ahh when you do mention it now I do remember reading that comment made by ioi, ahh well good to know they're putting effort to this site, and to think we have the numbers early is nice, like in the previous days of VGchartz.
