So will we see a Wii dropoff for Dec 25-31? How does the last week of the year typically go?
Heh, looks like the "ItPrintsMoney"-picture is almost a year old. Was it seen before this post? And is it from here?

I'll quote a bit I said earlier in the thread:PantherLotus said:

Of the 4 that dropped least, 3 were Wii. I realize extrapolating a lot from this is a Bad Thing, though.

Anyone seen the new Famitsu yet?
Supposedly Iwata won the "Most influential Exec in the Japanese industry" award?
Ahead of KK and the Mistwalker guy...? I errrrrr'd too!

Not only do I agree with the pick, I think the reasons are mostly obvious.

No i err'd as to why Sakaguchi (SP i know) was on there at all, not at Iwata, he's a god damned genius!

Sakaguchi probably automatically ends up on the ballot. He's earned that, at least.

I want numbers. Are they gonna come? Any Sinobi updates?

Sakaguchi established a company that can put out several killer app RPGs now... Blue Dragon didnt do well in Japan.. but in NA and Europe it will probably do rather well.. (especially in Europe.. DQ 8 was huge there)
its not only the sales but the development team that got evaluated highly i guess..
Mistwalker is in their early stage.. what they need now is quality.. they need to prove that they are a serious deal... since they will be pulling development investments from Microsoft and Nintendo...

Nintendo could easily sell 300k Wiis this week and another 200k or so over the New Year's week as this is the biggest shopping period of the year in Japan.
The question is what exactly did they ship.

22. (DS, Takara Tomy) Naruto: Shinobi Retsuden - 30,132
23. (DS, Square Enix) Chocobo and the Magic Book - 29,065
24. (PS2, Sega) Yakuza (PlayStation 2 The Best) - 28,966 / 216,655
25. (DS, Nintendo) Magic Taizen - 28,325 / 103,854
26. (DS, Bandai Namco) Tamagotchi 2 - 28,304 / 637,996
27. (DS, Nintendo) Mario Kart DS - 26,589 / 1,691,583

Brain Age almost at a million. MKDS will probably break 2 Million before long. Chocobo didn't do TOO badly.

I just use the Famitsu numbers, but it's actually possible to Tetris DS finished the year with more to 1 million. Wait two weeks now.

It's nice to see Nintendo back in such a big way. Call me crazy but they don't get enough credit these days for the great company that they are, instead ending up as the butt of a lot of jokes,and it's about time people took notice. I just hope they can use this financial windfall to really solidify their position (i.e. BUY SOME DEVS AND STUDIOS. MATSUNO, KAMIYA, GRASSHOPPER. BUY BUY BUY.).

Well it's not like Microsoft invented acquiring talented developers and studios. And Nintendo could use some big first and second party exclusives that aren't Mario, Zelda, etc. to lure the cynical and and invigorate their games lineup if third parties are just going to continue to sleep on them. Grasshopper in particular I think would be a really great fit. Suda51 has commented often on how he shares a similar philosophy with Nintendo. Why not gobble them up, expand them, and help them with the development of their games to turn flawed but worthy titles like Killer7 and Contact into surefire gems? And Matsuno's not doing anything (that we know of), and is clearly intrigued by the idea of the Wiimote. Give him some money and some people under him and have him crank out a masterpiece.

It's a bit of a double-edged sword, isn't it? They already dominate software sales on their systems. To go all-out like that with even more games would bring more competition to their games from themselves, and leave smaller scraps for third parties.BrodiemanTTR said:
Nintendo can churn out games for their handhelds pretty fast but not so much with their consoles. The handhelds have way more 3rd party support so the gaps are filled but it's not yet the case with Wii. For a company looking to cater to everyone they don't really have much that appeals to me. I like action games, shooters, violence, and online. I mean they've gotten better with stuff like Battalion Wars and Fire Emblem but honestly will Wii ever fill those real niches? I hope it does cause the possibilities are endless, but it seems like most of the A teams are focused on the A hardware. Hopefully we see meatier efforts truly pushing the hardware like GTA, FF, Halo, DMC, MGS, GT, serious fighters, but it doesn't seem like Nintendo will go after or ever produce those types of games. Unlike the handheld arena until they really move some hardware that kind of support won't come to them. Some has to make that market on Wii, I guess Ubi Soft is trying but swing and a miss.

More data 2006 (publisher out of weekly famitsu top 30)
Nintendo - 21,58 Mio. => klick
Pokemon - 2,98 Mio. => klick
Square Enix - 5,58 Mio. => klick
Sony - 1,45 Mio. => klick
Bandai Namco - 5,09 Mio. => klick
... its easy to get the sum of every publisher in 2006 (out of weekly top 30):
1. Copy www.n-games.de/ds/charts-japan-publisher.php?jahr=2006&hersteller=xyz into your browser
2. Replace xyz by the publisher you want.
Apparently Wiis are sold out in Japan but PS3s can be found pretty easily. There are similar scenes occuring in North America now, too.

Looks like 20GB models are sold out at that shop, though; the post doesn't mention that.Jammy said:
