EoJ may help sales. It's actually kind of surprising that it's selling at the levels it currently is. Let's see how things pick up around GT5Jcgamer60 said:

Wii comparisons: At week 43, Wii is where GCN was at 172.1 weeks (December 26, 2004), where GBA was at 37.5 weeks (December 5, 2001), where DS was at 50.2 weeks (November 14, 2005), where PS2 was at 55.1 weeks (March 18, 2001), and where PSP was at 81.5 weeks (June 28, 2006).
PS3 comparisons: At week 46, PS3 is where PS2 was at 5.2 weeks (April 3, 2000), where PSP was at 17.6 weeks (April 7, 2005), where GCN was at 20.9 weeks (February 2, 2002), and where Wii was at 6.4 weeks (January 10, 2007).
DS vs PSP: Weekly shares of 20.3 / 79.7, PSP's best week by share ever. This brings the total shares to 75.5 / 24.5, bucking the trend and bringing the ratio back to where it was in late April 2007. At this week's rates, PSP would catch up to DS in 63.4 weeks (December 10, 2008). If DS stopped selling and PSP continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 47.3 weeks (August 19, 2008).
PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares of 30.0 / 70.0, bringing the total shares to 24.4 / 75.6. If Wii stopped selling and PS3 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 226.8 weeks (January 28, 2012), another new record for that stat.
As you can see by the above bolded numbers, by ratio the Wii's lead on PS3 is now greater than DS's lead on PSP.
PSP vs Wii: At this week's rates, Wii of course never catches up to PSP.
PS2 vs DS: At this week's rates, DS catches up to PS2 in 22.2 weeks (February 25, 2008) at ~21.0 million apiece.
Outside of December-ish, DS Lite has only done better than PSP did this week on two occasions.
Week of 2006-05-22: 285,025
Week of 2007-04-30: 285,123
This is not only PSP's best week, but better than it ever did in two consecutive weeks previously. The high for that was
Weeks of 2005-12-19 and 2005-12-26: 272,073
At week 38, total sales for the year have passed 11 million. Last year that happened week 48.
Sony sales for the year pass 3 million. Last year it took until week 48.
In weekly sales, this is Sony's highest in a long time. At least, I don't see one higher from 2003 on, so I'd have to look back into the Famitsu data to try and find one.

I can't believe how poorly consoles are selling. I'm starting to have doubts as to if Wiifit/Galaxy will even give much of a bump :S

Indeed the Wii did have a good run. Mini game compilations and shovelware are only fun for a while, then something deep inside you knows that something is missing. Wheres the beef? Once you have this revelation you realize that the Wii is nothing but a gamecube with waggle with no where near the ammount of good games the gamecube had one year in its cycle.
Third parties need to step it up and actually TRY when making Wii games. And stop releasing them broken! I don't care if you missed your deadline spend the money to use on a few more days/weeks on game developement if needed and the resulting sales will make up for those extra days in production. Also Nintendo needs to step it up.
So far their only major game that has come out ALL YEAR has been Metroid Prime Corruption. And their marketing/hype for the game felt like not even they cared about it. All they care about is Wii Fit and Mario Party. C'mon guys, people who have bought Wii's thus far bought it because of potential. Now according to Japan sales people are losing faith in this potential. But It DOES have great potential if Nintendo and third parties develope solid games for it.
We already have enough mini game compilations in the Wii Library for its whole lifetime. Its time to get serious game developers. Wii want MORE MORE MORE MOOOOOORE!!!!!!!!!

The new Famitsu data for last week is out. Thanks to the big PSP and DS releases last week, it seems to be a new record for portion of the software market captured by portable. Together DS and PSP accounted for 84.3% (53.6 DS + 30.7 PSP) of software sales, besting 83.6% (78.6 DS + 4.0 PSP) the week of 2006-09-25.

PS3 sales will start to rise by the end of the year thanks to GT5 prologue, and continue with games like DMC4 and MGS4. And if Capcom decided to port games like Lost Planet and Dead Rising I'm sure they would sell considering they wer eonly on 360 so far.
And :lol :lol :lol at the conspiracy theories. So if the Wii fails, for all the logical reason it would, it's the third party sabotaging it right?
This is going more along the lines of what I was predicting around 6 months ago: The Wii will become the new Gamecube when next-gen really shows up with next-gen sports games, GT5, RE5. Even games like RE5 have more chances of attracting new gamers. I know a lot of guy,s girlfriends like RE4 because it was so movie-like in experience. It will only be moreso with RE5 and the same will go for next-gen sports games, especially racing games like GT5.

PS3 has NO games right now, no wonder it's not selling. And obviously yeah it's still too expensive. But once the big sequels come it will start selling in Japan. The thing is the big games are too few and too far apart, that's why I'm suprised Capcom isn't using this opportunity to port Dead Rising and Lost Planet + make sequels as well. They have an open field ahead of them.
EDIT: Square should have waited for the Slim to be released before releasing FFT:The Lion War. Could have been released a bit later.
In other news, people should receive their God of War: Chains of Olympus PSP demo soon.

Maybe you missed the part where PS3 sales dropped again, almost below 10K, and the Wii still outsold it around 2.5:1. I won't speak for Link's conspiracy theory, but I don't think it is a stretch to call the 3rd party Wii effort pitiful so far. I know that everyone is looking for a reason to cry D00M for the Wii but you guys are really getting out of hand.

That Pac-Man should have a bow to show it as Ms. Pac-Man, it feels so wrong for Pac to be gobbling up the DS like that!
I'm shocked, but good for PSP, and Square. This has probably rattled a few cages at Nintendo, maybe they'll actually focus a bit on DS dev again. (And I mean something more than "My Housekeeping Diary.")

I think PSP slim is here to stay for a little while, at least till the end of the year. Not that it'll do DS numbers, but 60k+ a week even during the slow weeks is what I'm predicting.

If you want to get an idea of how important third parties are in Nintendo's eyes then just look at how important they are to Sony and even moreso to Microsoft.
Then come back and blame third parties again.
Nintendo doesn't give a fuck about third parties, so blame them first.
