[Kyoufu]

3DS > PSP is surprising. PSP shortages still?

[1-D_FTW]

3DS in first, but not exactly a victory when it continues its downward slide in weekly numbers.

[Spiegel]

3DS > PSP is surprising. PSP shortages still?

Yes

[-WindYoshi-]

Oh yeah Nintendog's is really up-trending alright.

[sixteen-bit]

First NPD, now MC

The sun never sets on the Homefront empire.

[Cosmonaut X]

Holy shit at the DQMJ uptick! Any higher percentage leaps on record?

[Blablurn]

crazy shortages for the psp. i thought they already dealt with these problems. and ps2 still fighting the good fight.

wii still under 10k? wow, sounds like it really needs a price cut.

[FoneBone]

3DS stabilizing ~20K in the next few weeks?

[Smiles and Cries]

hardware sales are still low

[dvolovets]

Why are hardware sales so low across the board? Shortages, low demand?...

[BlazingDarkness]

gameboya
Banned

derp.

Wonder how much P2 was shipped? I was hoping it'd sell more, I think?

PSP seems supply constrained, considering it had a fair bit of new software release the week

[Huff]

Holy shit at the DQMJ uptick! Any higher percentage leaps on record?

Yeah this seems really abnormal. Any reason for it?

[Elios83]

It seems that PSP stock level is not stable, they replenish it and let it dry.
Still PS3 and Wii flat week over week, 3DS again down and goes into the 20k-30k range.

[faridmon]

Those 3DS software doesn't look pretty. Lest hyped up system ever?

[expy]

Hmmmm, kind of remained the same...

[Phoenician_Viking]

The PSP is having shortage huh. I figured as much.
The Wii is dying a slow and agonizing death.

[Edag Plata]

So do we actually KNOW there's shortages or is that just the excuse to keep the 3DS doom and gloom narrative going?

[KingDizzi]

Oh yeah Nintendog's is really up-trending alright.

Oh you.

Sony dropping the ball with the PSP, PS3 and 3DS doing meh, Wii doing lulz but 360 is the real success story here, outselling the PS2 by over a huge 600 units this week while it was behind a few weeks ago. MHF3 is at 4.437 million now, will be well over the 5 million mark when the budget releases come about. For the previous MHP game how many sales came at full price? It was good but recall a big chuck coming from the budget releases, hence the thought many had that the same trend would follow with MHF3......did not happen though.

Over 100 hours into the game, just can't get enough :P

[BladeoftheImmortal]

Where are the shortages coming from is it because of logistics? I thought their manufacturing plants could output this kind of demand by now...most likely the quake still, right??

[pharmboy044]

Could the PSP shortages be artificially created by Sony? I know it makes no business sense but the more difficult the system is to locate the more demand grows?

[Dedication Through Light]

Thats a rather sharp divide from 5th and 6th. (GO p2p)

What happened to the 2% increase to Nintendogs...guess the only benefit is that it outpaced Layton.

[Pureauthor]

01. / 00. [PSP] Dai-2-Ji Super Robot Wars Z: Hakai-hen (Bandai Namco) {2011.04.14} - 307.019 / NEW

Yay!

Also, 3DS' rate of fall appears to be slowing. Wonder where it'll stabilize at.

[Quixzlizx]

It's good to see the Wii getting punished for having no games. Not that NoA would've localized them, anyway.

[gundamkyoukai]

Wii sales not good , same for 3DS it need some games.
Sony really need to get more psp out in Japan , PS3 sales normal .

[Seraphis Cain]

Homefront debuting in Japan in the top 10? What sort of crazy alternate universe is this?

[GDGF]

Why are hardware sales so low across the board? Shortages, low demand?...

Aren't they still recovering from the recent quakes and tsunami?

[vicissitudes]

Pilotwings didn't do so hot :( And 3DS falls into the 20s despite that coming out. Ouch.

[The Hermit]

The Wii is dead... maybe NIntendo will launch Wii 2 sooner than we think ,in Japan at least.

[AranhaHunter]

So do we actually KNOW there's shortages or is that just the excuse to keep the 3DS doom and gloom narrative going?

I don't think anyone is trying to keep the " 3DS doom and gloom narrative going". The 3DS is probably stabilizing now, but it has been going down weekly since it launched. That wasn't expected at all when the machine was unveiled and that's what is surprising people. We have some JP Gaffers who can verify whether or not the PSP still is suffering from shortages, I'll guess yes because a game just launched with 300K and another with 70K and 60K and the sales still went down significantly.

[RurouniZel]

Wii is dead, 3DS is dying, Japan is Sony land again?

This is NOT the kind of start Nintendo was hoping for the 3DS, that's for sure...

[Nirolak]

Yay! Also, 3DS' rate of fall appears to be slowing. Wonder where it'll stabilize at.

I'm kind of curious if the rate of fall was slowed by Pilot Wings or just a natural stabilization point.

[Strive]

Disappointing numbers overall, as usual. Time to lower my expectations.

What happened to DQMJ2? Price cut? Advertising? Word of mouth?

[Alrus]

So DQM got its second shipment I guess.

[1-D_FTW]

I'm kind of curious if the rate of fall was slowed by Pilot Wings or just a natural stabilization point.

It's still about a 15 percent drop. Better, but not exactly ready to flatline.

[Sammy Samusu]

3DS stabilizing ~20K in the next few weeks?

Next weeks, probably. But expect bigger sales soon, many games are coming starting May 12th.

[Kyoufu]

When is the next PS3 game to light up the charts in Japan? Versus XIII is nowhere in sight. Don't even know if Armored Core V will sell much.

How is PS3 not under 10k too?

[sixteen-bit]

How is PS3 not under 10k too?

Gotta buy something to play Homefront on

[LOCK]

I think the 3DS will level out around 25k.

Next week will be very interesting with Nintendo, I wonder if we will get a price drop for Japan then.

01. / 00. [PSP] Dai-2-Ji Super Robot Wars Z: Hakai-hen (Bandai Namco) {2011.04.14} - 307.019 / NEW

Sony dropped the ball this week regarding shortages. The psp probably could have moved 70k with the Robot Wars release.

When is the next PS3 game to light up the charts in Japan? Versus XIII is nowhere in sight. Don't even know if Armored Core V will sell much.

This year >200k FW I can think of :
Yakuza OF THE END
Tales of Xillia
FF XIII-2
Dark Souls (?)
Ni No Kuni (?)

:/

Next weeks, probably. But expect bigger sales soon, many games are coming starting May 12th.

If pilotwings didn't do much for the 3ds, how much can you expect Steeldiver to do for hardware?

P2 is kinda low. shortages, or the Persona hype is down.

I think the 3DS will level out around 25k. Next week will be very interesting with Nintendo, I wonder if we will get a price drop for Japan then.

That would amount to pushing the panic button, and it makes precious little sense to push the panic button before any of the first-party big guns have hit.

Or people bought the p1 port out of persona hype, realized it was a shoddy port of an old game and passed on making the same mistake again.

First off it was said like 15 times in past threads that DQM:monster jokers 2nd shipment was expected mid April, utterly no surprises there.

How is PS3 not under 10k too?

We found out through Media create white pages, the hidden best selling soft/hard for PS3,Torne, chances are it sells very well every week, we just don't ever get it's numbers.

Oh yeah Nintendog's is really up-trending alright.

Went over this last week, it trended up because commercials were re-started, this week thoese commercials were replaced with pilotwings commercials

So do we actually KNOW there's shortages or is that just the excuse to keep the 3DS doom and gloom narrative going?

There are NO 3ds shortages, nintendo isn't even shipping anymore until demand catches up with supply.

Where are the shortages coming from is it because of logistics? I thought their manufacturing plants could output this kind of demand by now...most likely the quake still, right??

Generally best guess is that earthquake did hurt things, but generally it's believed they are gearing up for NGP and don't have any desire to spend the capital to increase production infrastructure on an old system.

No P2 shortages, game was reviewed poorly(If I had seen famitsu's review I would have changed my estimate) , Super robot took psp sales for the weak

Its bad?! What went wrong.

PSP domination.

Looks like 3DS' sales will stabilize at 25k until maybe June, maybe DOA:D will give it a smallish spike for a week.
