Famitsu and Media Create have had some pretty big disagreements on the Wii number the last few weeks, so it's hard to be certain.schuelma said:
Media Create says this is the first time in several months that Wii 2008 has had a better week than Wii 2007, with a much shallower dip.
Famitsu says the dip is matching last year's, and thus it's still doing much worse than last year overall.

Based on the latest Famitsu hardware data...
PSP comparisons: After 195 weeks, PSP is where PS2 was at 147.7 weeks (December 26, 2002), where DS was at 88.6 weeks (August 9, 2006), and where GBA was at 124.9 weeks (August 9, 2003).
PS3 comparisons: After 95 weeks, PS3 is where PS2 was at 21.2 weeks (July 24, 2000), where PSP was at 53.1 weeks (December 12, 2005), where GCN was at 100.2 weeks (August 11, 2003), and where Wii was at 23.2 weeks (May 7, 2007).
Wii comparisons: After 92 weeks, Wii is where GBA was at 89.1 weeks (December 1, 20020, where DS was at 69.8 weeks (March 31, 2006), where PS2 was at 97.3 weeks (January 7, 2002), and where PSP was at 152.2 weeks (November 5, 2007).
Based on the latest Media Create hardware data...
DS vs PSP: Weekly shares of 59.9 / 40.1, DS's strongest since December 2007. This brings total shares to 69.4 / 30.6. If DS stopped selling and PSP continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 378.8 weeks (December 12, 2015).
PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares of 20.1 / 79.9, bringing total shares to 25.5 / 74.5. If Wii stopped selling and PS3 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 531.6 weeks (November 15, 2018).
Week over week, everything is down a little, but X360 plummets (relatively), presumably due to the shortage issues.
Famitsu software stuff
From the numbers given when Fire Emblem returned to the Top 30 (Top 10, even), we can see it dipped to under 4K the week it disappeared.
This week mostly out of stock placed it (3152) back behind the first GBA Fire Emblem (823) in sales from launch.
And now a couple pointless inappropriate software versuses, just because I notice their current totals are similar.
New software group: Silicon Knights.
Twin Snakes (1730) may have done awfully for a Metal Gear game, but compared to Eternal Darkness (888) and Too Human (3168) it looks pretty big.

If there is no arrow pointing the X360 shortage, I would be hard pressed to notice the "barely there" dip. It is the fault of those 350K / week at launch Wii #, and second highest # at 275K. If we eliminate those two point, the graphic will be more clear, and the dip in X360 weekly # would be more noticeable.

Pretty good IU start, I'm really surprised.

duckroll said:I wonder if it was IU bumping the hardware, or the 19800yen 360 bumping IU.
I hope for you it's the former, otherwise IU won't have long legs.

70k + 10k bundled copies. I assume IU wasn't bundled, so we have to wait for Wednesday for the whole hardware figures.

I frequent another forum that has a few X360 Japanese users. They said that, although Japan is re-stocked, hardware is moving very briskly, and has sold out in some areas of the Arcade unit.
One such member said that they expect the X360 to beat the Wii this week.
Either way, those numbers for IU are well above expected. Lets hope that 30,000+ new X360 owners decided to pick it, plus Tales up this week

Hmm. Now the question is (again), how many weeks it'll keep up before the eventual drop to 2000-4000 units.

IU is doing a lot better than I expected. Will be interesting to see the hardware numbers for the week.
Will be released this saturday.d+pad said:

My expectations were surpassed as well. Microsoft is never going to sell gang busters but if they keep a steady flow of Japanese centric games releasing through out the year then they can at least carve themselves a solid base of niche gamers.

I am shocked, and concede that i was completely wrong about IU.
I was expecting no more than 25k LTD.

The most embarrassing part was that the pictures were posted at the Forza Xbox blog, which is pretty much the front line of Xbox-related stuff for the Japanese Xbox fans.
I guess someone played a prank at 2ch and the Forza guys thought that they actually were shots from IU lines.
The forza blog is amazing :lol
Seriously though, it looks like MS only shipped the new 60GB units. Places are reporting extremely low stocks on Elite and Arcade units. 60GB units are selling well, but the lack of available hardware is said to be holding back IU sales, according to Sinobi, at least.

Looks like they already noticed that they got punked, they took the picture away from the blog post "Today's stock already sold out?! Did it come, the break for 360!?".
Kagari said:
Considering the huge negative "campaign" on 2ch and 2chan for the game, I'm somewhat surprised that the game sold more than 50k.
The gatekeepers have been doing their best to pour shit on the game; they've been trolling the game like there is no tomorrow because of the "westernized" character designs.

That's a new IP, developed by Tri-Ace, with not much hype on a console that's doing about Xbox 1 levels in Japan?
Yes.

Project Sylpheed was published by Square too, and what did that sell? Like 15k?

I think it's well established in this thread that the reason you were wrong is that you were wrong about IU is that your theory was crazy.
