Microsoft: "first to 10 million wins"
Nintendo: "bwahahahahaaa"

titiklabingapat, here is all you need to know.

 

[ZealousD]

Does it really matter? The average lifespan for a Wii at retail is like 3.4 seconds.

That's not really the case in Japan anymore.

 

[kamikaze]

Shipped. (Or sold to retailers).

don't sony and microsoft used shipped (sold to retail) #s anyway? now we can measure nintendo's sales equally.

 

[baruflea]

GRAPHS, GRAPHS, I want GRAPHS!

Thanks.

and a few supply and demand curves. A day without either of these is a day without sunshine.

 

[LizardKing]

24.5M by end of March 08.

so is that with the increased forcast by 1 mil?

 

[Hcoregamer00]

Holy !$%^ the ds sold 53.64 MILLION

 

[AndoCalrissian]

So wait, what's LTD for Nintendo DS? 53 million?

 

[HAL_Laboratory]

It's hard to believe they're over 14 million already. :lol That's fucking crazy. And with Mario Galaxy, Smash Brothers, WiiFit and Mario Kart in the bullpen, no less.

 

[Cheesemeister]

Wait a minute, does that actually say the DS has sold 53 million?

Yes, 53.64 million worldwide.

EDIT: beaten.

 

[Kodiak]

So a little past 50% of world wide gamecube sales in under a year? I miss rooting for the underdog Nintendo. Now I have to root for Sony :*(

 

[AndoCalrissian]

Yes, 53.64 million worldwide.

Not too shabby for slightly less than 3 years. :lol

 

[schuelma]

So for the next 6 months they expect to ship about 10 million Wii's.

Doesn't sound like an undershipped Christmas to me.

 

[Evlar]

Forecasting 17.5 million Wiis in the retail channel from April 07 to March 08. So far they've pushed 7.33 million into retail in the first half of that period.

This means that Nintendo expects to ship 10.17 million Wiis to retailers between the first of October and the end of next March.

It's why I think they'll have tons of Wii's available for Christmas. Around 3.5M worldwide for November and December. At least.

1.8M for NA, 800k for Japan and 900kM for EU is what I'm predicting for those two months.

Eh, according to Nintendo. In reality they're reporting each screen separate, so actually the DS has sold around 27 million worldwide

 

[Soule]

Holy Crap, that sounds like a really big number no matter how you spin it.

[medrew]

LOL! I was just wondering the same thing.

 

[Cruceh]

It's worldwide. There's no way Pokemon sold 12 million in Japan. :lol

 

[hellclerk]

Brain Age - 17.19m edit: Seems and 1 and 2 sales combined

oh, for a sec, i thought something had finally beaten SMW3. still, wow, printmoney.gif

 

[Gahiggidy]

Microsoft posts their quarterly earnings release later today.

 

[Grampa Simpson]

This about 30 minutes behind, as far as I can tell. A bunch of peeps got nervous about 2 min ahead of the release, but you can see the chart rising if you refresh every few minutes. Life is good.

[titiklabingapat]

Wow, Nintendo's business is actually mostly from overseas(i.e. not from Japan).

Listen to use more, Nintendo.

edit: wait, I think I read that wrong.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I know, but in America Pokemon did outsell Brain age, But in Japan is was the other way around. I forgot that little Japanese fact.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

From launch, Wii versus N64/GCN/PS1/PS2/PS3/Xbox/X360. At this point, Wii is nearly double anything else.

So for the next 6 months they expect to ship about 10 million Wii's.

Doesn't sound like an undershipped Christmas to me.

Well, it's all relative. Few would've thought 13 million in 10 months was undershipping, either.

Wow, Wii is indeed the fastest selling console, EVER.

HOLY SHIT.

True enough. It will be a crazy holiday no doubt. I imagine they will sell everything they ship through March.

I'll wait patiently. Today could be a good day.

No, you're right. That last paragraph is misleading: "inter-segment sales" represent the Japanese studios "selling" their products to NOA and NOE and the rest.

Oh. I can go back to being a rightfully whining westerner then.

LISTEN TO US MOAR!

 

[Lightning]

So basically Nintendo have sold over 13mil Wii's already? Holy fucking hell.....

Well done Nintendo. Well done indeed.
