[ ] The Wii spent 16 weeks last summer above 69.00% market share and never quite reached 70.00%.
[ ] Does Pacman look like he's smiling to anybody else? I can't get the picture of some retched smirking blue-pacman out of my head.
Last week to this week
[ ] Wii gained .12%
[ ] PS3 lost .07%
[ ] 360 lost .05%

Well, okay, yes, saturated is not the correct word, since obviously people are still buying the system at a fairly brisk pace. Depressed may be a better term. Either way, my point is that the DS sales are pretty consistent among the current available market at the currently available price. Nintendo can still break into other markets and greatly increase their sales, assuming they can produce software that is appealing to those markets.

So, DS is the main loser in titles charting in the top 50, based on one of those last charts. PS3 is slightly improved and Wii is improving, over time.

According to Panthers chart, the PS3 in 2007 is outperforming PS3 in 2008. Hmm
In order for this to be a breakout year for the PS3 so it can forget about the horrendous sales in 2007, you kinda have to actually improve on your sales in 2007. And the PS3 can't even do that...
2009 anyone?

No need to put MY name in front of a troll. The data stands on its own with or without a chart. I just help people to see what isn't always obvious.

Actually Sony is saving up those years and when 2010 hits it'll start the DECADE of the PS3.

Hey smart folks, I have a question about one of the games in this week's Top 10: Armored Core 4Answer. I just recently saw the newest trailer for this on the Japanese PSN; it's quite long and most of it is pre-rendered HD cutscenes. Assuming conservatively that it includes a little under half of all the CG in the game, we're talking 10 minutes or more of this movie-quality stuff in the full release. At a rough guess, that'd cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $10 million dollars. Now, reusing assets from AC4 (and not hiring a texture artist for any of the new stuff--har har) means the rest of the game may not be particularly pricey by next-gen standards. But still, double-digit millions undoubtedly, once marketing etc. is included.
My question is this: why the hell did From bother? I mean, they know their last HD game did 100k in Japan (80k on the PS3, 20k on 360). Even adding whatever they did in the West, you have a mediocre performance at best. So what compelled them to release an expansion? Sure, it's looking to be an improvement on the original; that's what 15 months' more of hardware will do. But why not 20 months? Or 24?
In short, why are they this committed to HD systems when the highest revenue potential is clearly elsewhere? Maybe there's no larger lessons here--maybe From is just goofy like that--but this is one case where you can't say, "Well, it's only on PS3 because they started development long ago when it was assumed Sony would win."

PS3's performance is just sad to behold. Maybe we'll even see it below 10k before golden week (it should go up there a bit).
We'll see in due time but I wouldn't hold my breath for it. With pent up demand like this (assuming the theory is indeed correct) we would have to see monster numbers for PS3 come launch day - I can't see it honestly.Dizzan said:
I think another price cut by the end of the year should be in order for Sony - I don't see a redesign coming so soon though.Tideas said:

Bad Blood from nintendo post snes era and they can't get over it. Sega, Namco, Konami, Capcom, EA, and activision could be making big bank if they they bothered to just look at what worked during those eras and brung them back. Some devs are wannabe tech whores and want no business with Wii despite the fact none of them could make a game that looks good in opengl es if they bet their lives on it.
Hmm, so the Wii has sold a million this year faster than 2007, if only just, and if current trends continue, PS3 2007 is about to overtake PS3 this year, in Japan at least Sony have dropped the ball again, is there anything they can do now to prevent this year being worse than last?
Also, I love how people here are proclaiming how the DS is somehow doomed, it has sold more than the PS2 for Christs' sake, not only that but DQ9 is out this year, which will add lots of sales. That said, I fully expect this year to be the last year of the DS, 2009 will see a DS2 announced, or something similar.

The DS still has so much life in it. They haven't even dropped the price in Japan. It's selling faster than ever in the USA and the rest of the world, Japan was just ahead of the other two when it came to DS sales because they got the Lite first and Pokemon first and such.

Brilliant.
