Yow, didn't notice but everyone had big hardware declines. PS3 in 30k territory already is really surprising after how well the slim held last fall...

I think Final Fantasy XIII had a bigger part in the big PS3 HW than we thought. It's still doing very well YoY

no Ps3 game, not even FF13, i remember back in time people making FF13 so huge that it would stop the Wii in Japan...

every time something huge is about to enter Wii territory Nintendo releases something even more huge....

great for Darkside Chronicles

even though there is no PS3 game in the top ten, the PS3 may actually beat the Wii this week in Japan. The numbers were quite close last week.

 

 

20% difference != "quite close"

Less than 10% actually and the Wii is dropping at a faster rate than the PS3

Problem there is the Wii is selling by far more NINTENDO games in Japan of late than PS3. FFXIII is really the only game currently keeping the PS3 "afloat" in Japan right now. Sooner or later something has to give. A console that is selling very little software cannot keep pace with a console that consistanty sells tons of software, especially when a giant like NSMB Wii is now unleashed. You could argue that the Blu ray player is a major selling point that will keep the PS3 going, but it's only a secondary feature, which cannot keep it going on its own.

We'll have to see what happens over the next few months as the software scale is starting to lean back towards PS3 in quality releases, but that doesn't necessarilly mean they will all sell well.

Fixed your post.

Does it matter? The fact is they are selling far more software than PS3, whether it be Nintendo or 3rd party. Way to completely miss the point of my post.

wow nice info there, shipment numbers on all games and numbers for all top 50. MH3 is almost at a million, although the shipment numbers don't match up with the 1.1 million Capcom said they shipped. That could mean it is slightly undertracked.

FF13 shipments are approx 1.9 million.

RE:DC has a nice sell through percentage

NSMB wii is probably not supply constrained anymore, i know 97% sounds low but not with 3 million sold.

Tales of Graces hasnt hit 200k according to Famitsu :(



johnsobas on 23 January 2010

i can see why zelda's price is bombing, only 75% sell through is pretty bad. I'll continue to question why they shipped first day almost the LTD of Phantom Hourglass.
