Yep, I got confused when I saw 'em on Media Create new software sales webpage and I thought it was about time, guess it's still too early then.

Yeah, true enough. I guess what I should've said is that without seeing what the regular trend was throughout previous generations, that slowdown from the 2001 peak doesn't look very scary to me; even the lows of 2003 and 2004 brought them to the same total 2000 reached.Mario said:
I'm better at organizing the data prettily than making predictions, but considering that so far the total looks to be about 50% greater than last year, and a total of 14 million was reached last year, 20 million seems quite possible. 10 million DS, 6 million Wii, 4 million assorted Sony systems, X360 for change?felipeko said:

NOTES:
1. Wii is still very supply constrained. Any store that does have them doesnt have them for long. Hiro at Famicon Dojo was shipped his first new Wii in weeks. He was so happy yesterday to be able to take down his sold out sign. But on my way to work today I noticed the sign was back up.
2. DS lite is even easier to find this week. Most stores have them. This is the second week that I have seen the system readily available. In general, it is too soon to tell, but for this week specifically, it is not supply constrained.
3. Playstation 3 is plentiful. I cannot get an exact count because with limited shelf space not all of their stock is but in the front. With Wii being as rare as it is, every unit always goes on the shelf, with the PS3 most at kept in the back. My number represents only what I can see to count. This week there were more to see since Sony was pushing a Casino Royal bundle and hade a lot of them out on the floor.
4. If stores are getting this bundle, and it is replacing non-bundled systems, the stores must be selling at least a few PS3s.
5. Biohazard 4 was available at every store, however it had only gone on sale a few hours before I did my store search for this week. And I saw a few copies being sold even as I was there. I also expect the actual count to be higher. There were probably more in the back.
6. Forza 2 is not supply constrained in any way, but there are fewer copies than when I checked last week, so some one is clearly buying them.
7. Ouendan 2 was jut as lard to find this week as last week. However this might not impact the sales much. I asked one store that was sold out if they planned to get any more and they said, If you want it I can order it for you, but we arent planning to get any more. I dont know if this is representative of other shops though. Ouendan 2 is either supply constrained or if met the exact amount of demand. I would still go with supply constrained but I will be the first to admit my possible bias toward this game.
8. Hokutou no Ken Pachinko for the Wii isnt supply constrained and does not seem to be selling as well as the Playstation 2 versions, but those titles are known to have very long legs and keep selling over time. Still I think supply has met demand. Most stores only ordered a few copies of this title.
9. Blu-Ray continues to confuse me. Wanpaku is getting rid of their Blu-Ray titles. They werent selling and they decided to sell them off cheap and use the space for something else. Yet, Best Denki recently expanded their own Blu-Ray section. It seems the smaller stores are leaving this one to the bigger stores. The video rental shops are still transitioning from VHS to DVD.
10. Thank you everyone for your good wishes on my engagement. I really appreciate it. And thank you to junkwaffle for the awesome logo he made for me.

:lol Heiwa, huh?
Deku said:They did not restock it?
No, and he has no plans to. It took more than 4 months to sell that first one and the tiny profit he made selling it (less than $10) dose not compensate for 4 months of lost shelf space. He put up a sign saying he will order a PS3 for anyone who wants one though.
If someone is going to buy a PS3 they are going to do it at a store with a point card (that would get totally filled up with such a big purchase) and large selection of games available. It makes no sense for the smaller shops to carry PS3 hardware at thins point. It is a big financial risk to buy something you might not be able to sell. The only reason small shops carry hardware at all is to sell the more profitable software with the system at time of purchase, but when no one is buying the software either...
Anyway I don't expect to see a PS3 in Famicom Dojo until FFXIII.

I know this is a joke, but I would like to offer a few observations.
We will have to wait for sales of course. But I think it is a matter of Nintendo finally, finally making enought of them that the store actually have a product to sell. If the number are really low this week, perhaps the bubble really has broken, but I don't think so.
As for Biohazard 4, I was surprised to see the amount of interest the game was generating. There were always people around the Kiosk showing the video and the stores had rather large displays. I would have to know how many Capcom shipped to know if the number that were still left at 5:00pm on the launch day is good or bad. Personally I will be very interested to see what the numbers are for this game.

seeing these numbers around the world for 5 months now really make the wait for E3 + TGS complete hell.
the amount of suprises is gonna be insane. there should be atleast 1-2 big games coming from all devs worth their weight.
