Last week to this week
[ ] Wii gained .02%
[ ] PS3 gained .01%
[ ] 360 lost .03%
Are we looking at plateaus for each console's potential market share? Can the Wii ever cross that magical 70% line? Can the PS3 ever get back across that huge 25% wall? How quickly will 360 hit less than 5%?

Hardware numbers differ quite a bit from Famitsu again.
PS3 is doing laughably bad, it has seen the release of a lot of established franchises already and with price drops, new colours and bundles showing no effect it's clear that the problems are more widespread than "games" and "price".

But what would sustain such sales? PS3 saw a bump because of RGGK, a pretty big franchise. There isn't a game of this caliber coming out for quite a while iirc.Elbrain said:
I got to disagree here. It's a fun game in multi and I do like the overall design. It is short on content though, that much is true. I paid 22 and thought it was well worth the money-at full price, not so much.Stumpokapow said:

Hey no one took care of this? :/
First day numbers
NDS Bimoji Training - 30.000
PS2 12Riven: The Psi-Climinal of Integral PS2 - 7.000 (Normal + Limited Edition)
NDS Duel Love: Koisuru Otome wa Shouri no Megami - 5.000
Ok, I know it isn't an interesting week, but don't look for Duel Love screens, consider it a warning.
There were some other minor interesting releases (Baroque Wii, Contra DS, COD4 DS, Winning Post 7 PS2+PS3+Wii), no numbers though.
Oh, and another week without a single PSP release. Get your 'look at PSP hardware but no software' ready.

There was a full display of Bimoji at my local shop that's down to 3 copies as of tonight.
What's most interesting about this gen of home consoles in Japan is the complete single handed-ness with which Nintendo holds the market. With DS there is some debate to be had with its success and the proportioning to Nintendo and 3rd parties whereas with Wii thus far, it can be said almost conclusively it's Nintendo and Nintendo alone that has made the system into the huge success it is, which is simply astounding.
Even the biggest 3rd party game on the console, DQS, was orchestrated by a Nintendo team, and looking to the immediate future, there's still no sign of any worthwhile support (in a sales sense) from 3rd parties until MH3. It really is unprecedented success, and shows how amazingly strong a developer Nintendo is this gen.

At the same time, donny, Sony is pinning a whole lot more on MGS4 (as their lynchpin title for this entire year, the largest 3rd party exclusive other than FF13, and a vindication of their whole strategy thusfar) than they ever did on MGS2 or MGS3.
Not that I personally reckon' it'll do any better than the other franchises that have shown installment-on-installment declines versus their PS2 entries, but Sony's internal expectations have obviously got to be quite high.

Bimoji Training is off to a good start for a casual learning game/app. Did anyone have a go at that? I'm considering the import.Kurosaki Ichigo said:
So Duel Love is basically the witch touching game only with boys?
I think the push for DW was pretty huge. Price drop, new colour/hardware revision, ShockAxis, bundle and all that shortly before the biggest shopping season of the year. Don't know about advertising but it should've been substantial as well. Do you really think they pin more on MGS4? Sure, the latter is an exclusive but it's not like that matters with DW in Japan (360 having never lived and all).Stumpokapow said:

Not countable for Baroque? That's hard to believe -- and after it sold so well on the PS2 last gen.

I KNEW Legend of Kage 2 would bomb. It always struck me as a real WTF decision. A low profile sequel to a forgotten low profile IP with no marketing? Come on.
I'd really like to gain an insight into what makes Nintendo such a strong developer in Japan. Are they simply able to gobble up the best talent? Is it their design philosophy or a stellar QA team? Or just all marketing? Obviously, it's a mix of all that but what is preventing other developers from having even a fraction of their consistent success this generation?

Here I've set up a line for weekly sales of PS2 and DS+DSL through week 200. I capped it at 100K to make the lower part easier to see. It's actually starting to match the equivalent PS2 weeks very recently, which of course is a step down from kicking the shit out of them.AniHawk said:
Heh. So I went to look at just how little it sold, and couldn't find it in my database. I thought perhaps I'd given it a poorly translated name, so instead looked for it by release date. Nope again. So I guess it failed to reach the 8.5K necessary to make it to the Famitsu Top 30 that week.ethelred said:
Based on latest Media Create numbers...
DS vs PSP: Weekly shares of 47.4 / 52.6, bringing total shares to 72.3 / 27.7. At this week's rates PSP catches up to DS in 2579.3 weeks (August 15, 2057). If DS stopped selling and PSP continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 251.9 weeks (January 6, 2013).
PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares of 26.9 / 73.1, bringing total shares to 26.2 / 73.8. If Wii stopped selling and PS3 continued at this week's rate it would catch up in 169.2 weeks (June 7, 2011).
PSP vs Wii: At this week's rates, Wii catches up to PSP in 941.0 weeks (March 22, 2026). Really since late November it's been a virtual tie, with a split rarely getting beyond 55-45 or vice-versa.
Based on the latest Famitsu numbers...
PS3 comparisons: After 69 weeks, PS3 is where PS2 was at 16.0 weeks (June 18, 2000), where PSP was at 45.8 weeks (October 21, 2005), where GCN was at 67.6 weeks (December 26, 2002), and where Wii was at 16.9 weeks (March 24, 2007).
Wii comparisons: After 66 weeks, Wii is where GBA was at 66.4 weeks (June 25, 2002), where DS was at 57.0 weeks (December 31, 2005), where PS2 was at 91.0 weeks (November 25, 2001), and where PSP was at 131.1 weeks (June 10, 2007).
Wii has passed GBA-of-the-same-age. Though GBA-of-the-same-age being in late June, it will hit its next holiday bump sooner than Wii.
Note on the Famitsu software pie for the week of 2008-02-25: Thanks to Gundam Musou, PS2 (23.4%) beats Wii (22.8) for the first time in three months. Idolmaster also gave X360 (5.8) one of its weeks over PS3 (4.4).
Just a general note on my database updating with my new third-shift schedule, I don't get a chance to see the numbers until late Friday morning, at which time I update the hardware and Famitsu software pie since they're easy. Adding in the Famitsu Top 30 software takes a bit more work, so I save that for early Saturday AM, after sleep.

While I am not confident that it will move all that much hardware (at least in Japan), I have a feeling that MGS4 won't suffer as hard a drop as other previous 750k+ series have on the PS3. Portable Ops managed pretty respectable numbers on the PSP when everything else was doing horribly on the system (except MHP of course). I think that the fanbase for MGS is a little more loyal than the fanbase of Dynasty Warriors or Minna no Golf, even if the latter two series appeal more to casual gamers (who don't even own a PS3 at this point).
I'm expecting 500k+ for MGS4. Still a big drop from MGS3, but not DW6 bad.
EDIT: 500k LTD. Not Week 1. Maybe 300-350k Week 1.

I am quite certain that Nintendo's marketing is lackluster, if not below average.
I believe it is the culture. There is no push from management or finance to release a game, if the game is not ready. There is also a factor of Shigeru Miyamoto, who as #1 game designer in Japan (from quality and quanity & # of years, IMO), helped shaped Nintendo. Also thanks to the late Gunpei Yokoi, another excellent person, who contributed to Nintendo's early success before his death. I am not sure about Yamauchi, but I think he help (and hinder, sometimes). The last 5 years success is also attributable to strong help from Iwata.
