The Wal-Mart I work at got tons of Wii shipments last month so all these Wii games selling isn't surprising. We'd get about 20 Wii's every few days and it was advertised in nearly every flyer. We got so many shipments in fact that you would see the same Wii's on shelves for up to 3 days at a time because people knew they didn't have to rush out to get one.

 

[DreD]

I will say that the PS3 has held the #1 spot online at futureshop.ca, ever since the 150 price drop.

Not my intention to troll, but Wii has been out of stock for a while there...

No one plays football in Canada?

NCAA isn't very big up here. I know I I just rent it to send through a Campus Legend.

A lot of us buy Madden though.

 

[Gahiggidy]

I don't think he meant to say the wii would sell in negative amounts. I believe the "-" was put there to demarcate the number, like a bullet point.

But you can tell he's relishing each and every tidbit morsel of this satisfaction/vindication. It's kind of creepy seeing your worst qualities seen in other people :lol

 

[dkeane]

Gahiggidy are we ever going to se your Wii set-up?
The gamecube set-up was amazing I'd like to see where you're at now.

 

[Slavik81]

Canadians are the most open-minded and enlightened people on the planet, so the success of the wii here isnt surprising.

They're also the most humble and modest people on the planet.

If you stay out of Toronto. So many dickheads there, I love it (I live in T.O so I can say whatever, lol).

ReWii and Striker's Under performed =(

Please tell me your joking.

Strikers came out on July 31st. It had little time to sell, particularly in a country where soccer isn't all that popular.

Resident Evil 4 is in its second month. Not only did it just miss out on the top 10 (after being 7th last month), not only did it beat Ninja Gaiden Sigma's debut month, it's also a nearly 3 year old port of a game that has already been on 3 systems. I think it's doing just fine.

This makes me cry.

Hopefully the U20 world cup would have at least raised some interest...

I am trying to find a thread I can bioshock but it seems every thread in neogaf has been bioshocked already

 

[Odysseus]

has it been mentioned yet that this thread is useless without numbers? because it's useless without numbers. just in case no one had pointed out the uselessness of this thread without numbers.

Yup. Waiting patiently....

If by pitch you mean ice, football you mean puck, kicking you mean stick, and sliding tackle you mean bone crushing body check...then yes we play football.

Ha, beat you!

This is sort of kind of true.

*zips mouth*

This is so cute.

It's only gonna get cuter with Bioshock, Halo3, Heavenly Sword and Warhawk.

 

[rs7k]

This is so cute.

Cute? Like teddy bears cute?

 

[VultureDude]

I hope RE4 is sending a powerful message to the third parties; Capcom in particular.

 

[Mar]

Not only that. But peripheral sales for said cocks are currently tracking sky high.

 

[Galactic Fork]

To remake all their older games for the Wii? I'm not sure that's a message I want them to get.

 

[titiklabingapat]

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaardwaaaaaaaaaaare numberssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss?

 

[Cruceh]

This makes me cry.

Well, if it means anything, whenever I watch a Toronto FC match on TV, the place is always packed and very loud. Too bad they can't put out a good team on the field.

 

[KINGMOKU]

Wow is this NPD thread pathetic.


No numbers? Why even make the thread?

 

[cvxfreak]

Time for Capcom to create REmake: Wii Edition!

 

[jaundicejuice]

So mean and probably right cvx.

 

[Fuzzy]

Time for Capcom to create REmake: Wii Edition!

No, Mega Man Legends 1 and 2 Wiimakes before 3 is finally made.

 

[jetjevons]

Wii is unstoppable.

 

[Joe Molotov]

pm me that url, please. thx.

It doesn't count shipments to Wal-Mart and The GameCube Hut, so it's pretty much worthless.

 

[Laurent]

Wii is the new X-Box here...

 

[Pureauthor]

No, Mega Man Legends 1 and 2 Wiimakes before 3 is finally made.

DON'T TOY WITH ME

 

[Dahbomb]

Surprised to see NGS in the top 20. Most people didn't predict it to even come at that level, same for Rainbow 6.

Wow @ Wii... seriously.

 

[Fuzzy]

DON'T TOY WITH ME

Remember that Japanese online poll for where Mega Man should go next? There was a reason for that...

 

[Evlar]

Surprised to see NGS in the top 20. Most people didn't predict it to even come at that level, same for Rainbow 6.

Wow @ Wii... seriously.

Yeah, seeing NGS on there is a bit of a surprise.

Wii won't do as well in the US (but will still kick some ass).

 

[C4Lukins]

Wii Play #1?

So after what? 6 months? Wii Play is actually going up on the charts?

It is not hard to believe. You would have to be semi retarded to buy a second Wii controller and not buy Wii Play. The game itself is as good as most of their minigame collections, and it is only ten dollars more then a controller, and it comes with a controller. If only the 360 would sell a wireless controller with Geometry Wars attached to it, it could become one of the bestselling games of all time. You guys really need to stop pretending that Wii Play "the game" is selling so well.

PS: And holy shit Canada has gone Wii crazzzzzzzzy.

 

[Dalthien]

I figured I'd share the numbers that I do have while we wait for the July hardware numbers (here's hoping we get them).

1st half of 2007: (January - June)

WII - 221,500 (LTD - 305,500)
DS - 192,000
PS2 ~ 150,000
PSP - 83,000
X360 - 65,000 (missing Mar/07) - LTD = 349,500 (missing Dec/05 & Mar/07)
GBA - 50,000
PS3 ~ 40,000 (LTD ~ 85,000)

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

It's been 20 minutes, so this needs to be reiterated: NPD sucks w/o numbers.

 

[RBH]

Bah, still no fucking hardware numbers.

NPD disappoints yet again.

Are those LTDs accurate or estimates? Shall i update the takeover thread with them? i.e we were missing feb numbers or march numbers of all consoles.

Time for Capcom to create REmake: Wii Edition!

Nah. RE and RE0 should really be played they way they're designed now. 2, 3, and CVX on the other hand would be awesome in the over the shoulder perspective. Maybe with 2+3 as a single game and CVX as the other. Oh yeah. REmake and RE0 as a single disc for the Wii

 

[Dalthien]

The Wii LTD is accurate.

The PS3 LTD is very close. Based on other data that I have, the PS3 for March has to be between 0 - 14k. That leaves the LTD between 78k - 92k. Since the PS3 was at 6k or 7k for every month this year so far (except March, which we don't know), placing the PS3 at 7k for March, and therefore the LTD at 85k is a very reasonable and very close estimate.

The LTD that I gave for the 360 is accurate, except as I mentioned, it is missing Dec/05 and Mar/07. So those two months need to be estimated and added to the total that I gave here.

For what it's worth - I did have a report with the X360 number for Dec/05 a long time ago, which I happened to lose. I seem to remember the X360 total for 2005 as being 58k, which would put the Dec/05 total at 26k. But as I said, that is just going from my memory of reading the report, and my memory may not be completely reliable on that point.

As for Mar/07, other data that I have suggests that the X360 had a bit of a spike in March compared to the rest of 2007 (probably due to Guitar Hero II), but I can't really give you a specific number for March.

Comon NPD. Don't fail us.

 

[titiklabingapat]

They already have.



Laaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmeeee.


Good thing Weeds is such a funny show.
