Why is it so bad for DS to be doing 60k when its reach 21 million in 3 years?

It took Ps2 7 years to reach 21 million..

If you want this answer to this, you should check the January NPD thread. As soon as one thing outsells another, it's like :O:O:O:O "It begins" etc.

I always wait till the thread dies down to post in NPD threads..everyone gets really silly..MC is usually tame and only has about 1 stupid person each time but this PSP>DS thing is getting out of hand..

Come on guys, I have an exam in an hour and a half and no one posts first day data that has been available for quite a time...

First day data
PS2 Poison Pink - 32.000 (>60% sell through)
PS2 Kimikiss (ebKore+) - 28.000 (equals full price edition first day)
NDS Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 2nd Season - 20.000 (twice the first one opening)
NDS Otometeki Koi Kakumei * Love Revo!! DS - 4.000
PSP Medal of Honor Heroes 2 - 2.000 (10% sell through)
WII Medal of Honor Heroes 2 (normal edition + wii zapper bundle) - <1.000 (10% sell through)

Really good for Poison Pink.
Really bad for MoH: H2. I guess Wii/PSP are not the place to go for FPS in Japan.

PS3 will join the 360 down there if this continues. Although it seems to outsell the 360 6:1 every week still.
Click to expand...

That goes for every system though. If they contunie to drop they will eventually join the 360 ;) I dont think we'll see PS3 down at around 5k, atleast not for a long long time. Maybe 10k though, but i dont think it will be as low as around 5k.

I have a feeling the DS will be fine. They haven't cancelled Dragon Quest DS (whichever number that is), right? Yeah, it'll be fine. And they can always drop the price and release Brain Training 3 and/or Nintencats. :)

You cant rely on the same franchises over and over. BT 3 will give you dimished returns. They'll need something new, but with them shifting focus to Wii they likely wont have anything

Kinda puts it into perspective, but PSP is still doing well for a 2nd place system.

I've still got no idea why it takes America 2 weeks to process the top 10 data when the UK stuff is available as top 30s for each system 2 days after the week ends! Maybe the subscribers get it sooner and the free data appears when we see it?

More resources for Wii game development doesn't mean there won't be any new hit DS casual games. How many people worked on Brain Training? You don't need a lot of people to make a hit. Nintendo has prototypes ready and is testing new ideas for casual (and core, obviously) games every day. Small dedicated teams are working on the next big thing right now, we just don't know what it's gonna be only that it's going to be big.

Click to expand...

Only 4 games into the entire top 50 is depressing, but I noticed that almost every week there is at least one PSP game into the top 10. This game usually sells well, but it hasn't legs.
Otherwise....said and re-said: PSP is selling very well, but not for its games.

Big difference between DS/PSP and Wii/PS3 is that DS/PSP were both close. The Wii and PS3 difference is more like the Grand Canyon. The domination has been happening for the past year, you gotta be pretty blind not to see it.

"Vinnk's Village" Anecdotal Report

Here is my Valentine to the sales-age gaffers. Sorry these reports are few and far between but with all the wedding prep. and various other projects I have a lot less time to do this. This report is numbers from Friday the 15th rather then the usual Thursday numbers. The reason for this is that Thursday was Valentines day and if I had spent the day going to game stores over seeing her, I can assure you I would be getting a LOT of free time in the future.

I was asked to look for numbers on Wii, Family Ski and Mario and Sonic DS. I was also asked to check the advertising and hype for Winning Eleven 2008 Wii. I visited the stores on Friday, February 15th, 2008.

Jusco
Wii: 2
Family Ski: 1
Mario and Sonic DS:3

Youme Town
Wii: 1
Family Ski: Sold out (or never ordered)
Mario and Sonic DS: 4

Mr. Max
Wii: Sold out
Family Ski: Sold out (or never ordered)
Mario and Sonic DS: 1

Book-Net
Wii: Sold out
Family Ski: Sold out (or never ordered)
Mario and Sonic DS: 2

Goody
Wii: 1
Family Ski: Sold out (or never ordered)
Mario and Sonic DS: Sold out

Best Denki
Wii: 3
Family Ski: 1
Mario and Sonic DS: 5

Wanpaku
Wii: 1
Family Ski: Sold out (but they did have some)
Mario and Sonic DS: 7

Famicom Dojo
Wii: 1
Family Ski: Sold out (they did have some)
Mario and Sonic DS: 1

Yamada Denki
Wii: 3
Family Ski: Sold out (or never ordered)
Mario and Sonic DS: 6

TOTALS:
Wii: 12
Family Ski: 2
Mario and Sonic DS: 29

NOTES:

1. Last week Wii was at the lowest level I have seen this year. This week it is even lower. Still it is far from sold out. Seems Nintendo is shipping them regularly. But yeah, there are no piles of Wii systems at any store.

2. DS is another story. There are tons of units everywhere. I have never seen so much supply. Every color of the rainbow.

3. PSP would be in a fairly close second. Stores have almost as many of them as DS. And they are starting to get much more prominent store positioning. Both Wanpaku and Book-net have moved the units to the front of the store.

4. Family Ski is kind of weird. I can’t figure out if it is a super hot item or if stores just never bothered with it. Famicom Dojo ordered 1 and they sold it. I don’t know how many Wanpaku ordered but they sold them. The other stores don’t even seem to have placeholders for the game and since I don’t have any friends working those places, I can’t tell if they ever bought any to begin with. As it stands right now, there are 2 copies for sale in my city.

5. Used copies of DMC4 are now readily available. I expect sales to go down because of this. The remaining 2 360 DMC4 bundles were sold. But coincidentally 2 Used Blue Dragon bundles appeared at the same store. It would be funny if it was some big trade-in but more likely they have been in the back for a while and the store just moved them out in place of the other bundles.

6. There are posters up for WE Wii at 4 of the game shops and flyers at 2. There is a video display set-up at once store but the TV was turned off when I was there so I am not sure what video they are showing. I hope it’s the one that explains the gameplay mechanic. As for hype, the otaku gamers don’t care. They don’t really buy sports games. I asked a few guys I know who are into soccer games. 2 of them don’t have the Wii systems so they are very happy with their PS2 version. The one guy I know why has a Wii told me he doesn't plan to buy the game again (he also has the PS2 version) and he says this one looks “too complicated”. Sorry I wasn’t able to get a lot of data on this one. Still it seems Konami is trying to get the word out. It’s not great advertising (like DMC4 or a Gundam game) but it is better than most 3rd party Wii efforts.

7. The local otaku are excited about the new PSP monster hunter. They are playing Tales of Destiny and a few bought that new Death Note game but one girl told me it wasn’t very good.

8. Smash is now more readily available (though still not abundant) so the crying Pikachu picture was taken down. I wish I had gotten a better picture of it; it could have been my avatar.

Is the DS and PSP supply situation unique, or did the PS2 have the same kind of "stacks" when it was hot?

Not too encouraging for WE Wii. Coming out later seems to be seriously stunting its anticipation factor. :/

Sony never relies on the same franchises. Ps3 userbase is waiting for brand new concepts like MGS4, FF13, GT5, GTA4, REsistance 2, God of War 3, RE5, and Killzone 2. An incredible lineup of fresh new franchises.

Ps3/PSP are interchangeable in this instance. Both of them get mostly sequels to past big franchises. Its what sells, and it proves you wrong.

No they are not. First off, many of those franchises are going to be the first of thier kind of the PS3, which is different than the BT series which already has 2 iterations on the DS. MGS4 will more fresh and new than BT 3

Second they target different people. Many of the people buying BT are very casual, and would probably not see a reason to get BT 3 since they already have BT 1 or 2. There is no hardcore fanbase, no storyline to continue, so there is not much pull for people to come back. Why do you think Nintendo has been reluctant to make Wii Sports 2? Where is Nintendogs 2?
