DS still big, nothing else to say, except Nintendo need to make sure they've got a good 2008 for DS to make its sales explode again.
Wii and PSP cross streams, but many people are still part-exchanging their PSPs/buying their first PSP (I've heard a lot of the former is happening).
Fairly big PS3 drop, but was obvious, except to those people saying "PS3 50k for 3 weeks!" and not understanding why.
Nice 360 (compared to what it has done historically), although it did 4,053 this time last year. Come on 360! 1.05 million by the end of 2008 here we come.

Wii will probably reach GameCube lifetime LTD by the end of the year in Japan.
Well Done on the turnaround Nintendo. At this rate a 12million-18million lifetime for Wii in Japan is not out of the question, which is a fantastic base for them to then forge on with their 6th Home Console.

Sorry, I am not near my computer right now (I'm on a shared work computer) so my report will come a bit later on. But I can say right now that about half of the stores (the larger chains) have restocked WiiFit. The smaller stores are still sold out but expect a shipment soon. Looks like Nintendo was ready.
And No More Heroes is excellent.

I was just saying that with 250K Wii Fit sold, I would have expected the Wii to get a bigger bump than it did, something like 90 - 100K. Wii Fit will probably have crazy legs and drive console sales a lot week to week but I found it interesting to see that the early adopters are mainly people who already own a Wii.

As we know, the streams crossed a little while ago and the PS3 was momentarily beating the Wii. During the weeks that the PS3 was ahead of the Wii, it outsold the Wii (closed the gap) by 24326 units.
Last week, the Wii edged ahead of the PS3. Between last week and this week, the Wii outsold the PS3 by 41470 units, erasing all the gains that the PS3 made as well as pulling ahead an additional 17144 units.

GT5 Prologue arrives just in time to stop PS3 from falling down again...maybe. :s
While these games will push DS hardware sales notably, the market these games will appeal to are very similar to the market New Super Mario Bros, Nintendogs and (More) Brain Training appealed to - the market which have been largely targeted and have DSs.Kifimbo said:
To push hardware sales from brilliant to insane again (like in 2006 and most of 2007), software that is targeted towards an audience who don't already own a DS is required.
Or DS's first ever price drop.
On that note, I don't believe DS has sold so damn much in Japan in 3 years and hasn't even had a price drop.

I wonder how many "copies" that would be purchaced through PSN of GT5 Prologue and if it will be taken into account in that week's numbers.

Well, overall the market is looking okay for three consoles. The DS, Wii, and PSP.test_account said:Hehe
But only one of those three saw any form of lesser sales. They just didn't lose that many compared to others.
My point was lessened by my inability to notice stuff.

Don't worry guys Japan's 2008 release list so far is fine sales wise:
Dragon Quest V
Dragon Quest VI
Dragon Quest IX
Kirby Superstar Deluxe
Fire Emblem DS
Blue Dragon DS
Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword
Kingdom Hearts: 358/2
Inazuma Eleven
Not all of those will be huge hits, but I think maybe 4 to 5 of them could be million sellers. Then there is a bunch of stuff that hasn't been announced.

Wii comparisons: At 53 weeks, Wii is where GCN was at 226.9 weeks (January 13, 2006), where GBA was at 39.8 weeks (December 21, 2001), where DS was at 53.0 weeks (December 3, 2005), where PS2 was at 62.9 weeks (May 12, 2001), and where PSP was at 91.2 weeks (September 4, 2006).
You can see that Wii is right at where DS was; at least without going into further decimal points. Expect Wii to fall behind now.
PS3 comparisons: At 56 weeks, PS3 is where PS2 was at 8.4 weeks (April 25, 2000), where PSP was at 27.5 weeks (June 15, 2005), where GCN was at 44.2 weeks (July 15, 2002), and where Wii was at 9.8 weeks (February 2, 2007).
PS3 continues tearing through GCN weeks. In the last 4 weeks, PS3 has gone through 16.8 GCN weeks. I expect PS3 will catch up to GCN in December.
DS vs PSP: Weekly shares of 62.5 / 37.5, bringing total shres to 74.4 / 25.6. If DS stopped selling and PSP continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 178.1 weeks (May 2, 2011).
PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares of 33.2 / 66.8; the strongest Wii week since September. Still, it's enough to gain PS3 a little in the overall shares, which come to 26.6 / 73.4. If Wii stopped selling and PS3 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 67.8 weeks (March 21, 2009).
PSP vs Wii: At this week's rates, Wii catches up to PSP in 22,079.0 weeks (January 27, 2431).
PS2 vs DS: At this week's rates, DS catches up to PS2 in 5.1 weeks (January 6, 2008) at ~20.9 million units apiece.
At week 48, total hardware sales for the year have passed 13.70 million. Usually I only mention rounder milestones, but 2007 is now ahead of 2006, which reached 13.67 million. A new record.

It absolutely will, unless it has a turd of a December.Busaiku said:
It's late November; things spike now.Fio said:
Seeing as we're going into the strong part of the year, I thought it would at least maintain that level. Oh well. If not this week, it will be past 50K again soon enough.Parl said:

Outside of DS, it's very very rare to see any game push a system up to those heights, even if they sell multiple times what Wii Fit did; though it is easier in late November than most of the previous 10 months.Kildace said:

Something seems wrong here. Didn't the Wii launch on December 2nd last year? So how is it the 53rd week of sale. I'm probably missing something really obvious here, I'm half asleep.
Edit: Odysseus, I think the 360 has passed the original Xbox already with Famitsu data, but not Media-Create.

True. I dont think PS3 is doing that bad at the moment tho, eventho there was relatively large drop this week.
Chumly said:
Ye, but the numbers are also based on estimates, not just hard data. Therefor i wonder if they will put the PSN sales into account while doing the estimates. On the other hand, if they have no hard data for PSN networks, its impossible to do estimates, except wild guessing of corse hehe

No, it's really not doing that bad right now.test_account said:
It's seen a bit of a drop, but it's not in the 10,000 unit region either, so that's a definite win... even though this is a sales heavy time of the year.
so ps3 took a decent fall, it's good to see the gundabump phase is past though, normally this far after the bump it's back down around 10k. Wii had a nice jump, but I'm just saying everyone was talkin about wii fit like the second coming of God. It just didn't make a huge difference like I expected.

Guys, does anyone know if there is a planned release for Diddy Kong Racing DS in Japan? The N64 game did well, around 600k, so I'm confused on why it hasn't been released yet. Just something that popped into my head while looking through an old thread.

Yep, too bad for Sony that they dont really have too much for this x-mas when it comes to PS3 (dont know about PSP or PS2). Sure, you have GT5 Prologue, but other than that i dont really see any system sellers. Time Crisis 4 might do a small bump, but i dont think it would be anything segnificant to be honest.

DQIX looks like it's getting pushed to 2009. DQVr and maybe DQVIr are 2008 releases, which should give the DS a kick in the pants.Kifimbo said:

For simplicity, it doesn't go by actual release date, but by sales weeks. So while Wii launched December 2, as far as the data is concerned, it launched the week beginning November 27.Stopsign said:
Expect for the PS3, good numbers all around. Like someone said before, I expect the PS3 to rise.
It seems that the Wii has taken off as a mainstream device. Not so much as a videogame player, but general entertainment for the masses. I don't see the Wii as being a threat to tradtional gaming. So long as there is money to be made with traditional controls and A+ games, the industry will progress smoothly.
