..GAF!

Since it's a pretty big milestone, I've decided to post this in its own thread. This is taken from GAF numbers (compiled in the takeover thread) and not VG Chartz. All hail our new Nintendo overloads! All hail the waggle!

Wii

Australia - 138,192
Europe - 2,870,000
Japan - 3,424,139
Canada - 313,956
US - 3,615,000

TOTAL - 10,361,287
______

360
Australia - 195,056
Europe - 3,250,000
Japan - 402,381
Canada - 403,500
US - 5,950,000

TOTAL - 10,200,937

DISCLAIMER: Europe numbers have been compiled with our best guestimates using numbers released in the past and today's numbers. If you still want to dispute those, you should be aware that NPD stops in July and does not include August data which statistically, puts the Wii ahead of the 360 either way. The Wii's "win" is actually a lot bigger than what is posted here.

SIDE NOTE: It's quite possible the the Wii hit 10 million right before the 360 did.

I am shocked that the 360 has sold that much in japan. I was sure the number was even lower.

One disclaimer- the Europe numbers are partial estimates. It's possible/probable the numbers are different, but generally I think we've done a good job estimating.

See the takeover thread, this one is just Wii vs 360 numbers.

Needs a more attention grabbing title.

Wii wins. It's ovah! would produce 20+ pages.

Something like "Bricked PS3s?" or something like that ?

That topic title being deceiving is.... questionable.

Considering the numbers were compiled here in plain view...

Anyways, next milestone is triple PS3 numbers!

Also isn't it concievable that the 360 can steal back the crown momentarily, depending on exactly how much Nintendo's been stockpiling? 360 has to have close to 2 million in the pipelines now whereas Nintendo is flushed clean.

They should be producing 1.5M wiis now, and they're only selling 1.2M each month at best

What more impressive is that the Wii's reached this milestone while the 360 is still leading in 4/5 of these territories.

Not really. Nintendo is SELLING a tad over 1 million a month whereas the 360 is closer to 400,000 a month.

Well, that lead in Australia and Europe is dwindling very very quickly. N.A is really the only territory with any sort of significant 360 lead.

Good catch. Just noticed that.

mysticstylez · Aug 24, 2007

Can someone post the LTD PS3 numbers in all regions, I need a laugh.

On a side note, with the recent price drop and Halo 3 coming out soon, hopefully the 360 can start to pull off Wii's numbers (in US atleast) consistently. They have the right games, and almost the right prices.

I have no doubt that Nintendo has been holding back stock for Christmas. Who knows how much, though. I predict they'll sell 2 million in the US in November + December.

I'm not too sure what the usual levels of hardware in Japan are for the same period. But let's just say it's 1 million, which is probably very, very low. I don't think there is anyway for the 360 sales in the US to overcome the difference in Japan.

I think the next significant milestone is overtaking 360 + PS3 combined. I think it will happen around March next year.

Unless there is 1 million unit of X360 sold in the month of Halo 3 release (September ?), I don't think X360 can steal the crown back momentarily. Too much ground lost in Japan and Europe (and Europe does not really dig Halo, IIRC).

Japan - 1,085,019

I really don't understand it..... not one bit.

Me neither, despite owning it myself. >_> Motion sensing has a ton of potential, but imo, the wii hasn't done much to actualize it yet. and wii sports, its killer app, is utter trash (imo). where are the games that do things impossible on other systems? it seems that nintendo is only interested in using motion sensing to simplify games...

I wish Nintendo would release some sort of hybrid FPS game to show some of the benefits of motion sensing.

Andy787 · Aug 24, 2007

So why are we celebrating this? Doesn't the 360 offer a much higher quality and more diverse library of video games?

Uh.. don't we care about video games anymore?

I mean, I kind of liked video games more than sales figures.

Wii Sports.

You can't do minigames on other systems, right. :lol

You tell me another system where anyone with the physical ability to make a motion of rolling a bowling ball, and have it recreated in a video game is at, and then you will be correct.

I never thought I'd see the day where something like the Wii would be more successful in the U.S. than in Japan.

Yea, maybe they could even use an established AAA franchise to boot?

Just a thought.

Metroid Prime 3 comes out next week.

Did you look at the numbers? Wii is ONLY winning in Japan, in fact, it's because of Japan that they are winning.

Wow, no idea you guys had production estimates too :lol Any clue how long this has been going on? I vaguely remember something about production steeping up in April, and even 5 months of half a mill stacking up seems like not enough for the holidays.

Livin_Lovin · Aug 24, 2007

Just an honest question, why all the support behind Nintendo all of a sudden?

It doesn't really count. Metroid is Metroid.

Good point.

Sadly, however, the people who have the money to fund most AAA titles (read: Publishers) care a lot about sales figures.

RE4, Godfather, and cod3/rs/mp3 allow me to enjoy these games in which no dual analog controller is ever going to do so.

Not really. If i've said it a million times, the 360 was never going to stay market leader without Japan.

mysticstylez · Aug 24, 2007

I was shocked to see my local Best Buy (Wilkes Barre, PA) had a nice display of about 40-50 Wii's for sale. That was the first time I saw a Wii there for sale since it launched.
