Media Create Sales: 6/16 - 6/22
- Thread starter cvxfreak
- Start date
Not even close. Pretty sure it was pegged at 1500 (unless I'm mistaking that from first day sales - either way, DOA).iidesuyo said:
Edit: Yep, that was the early Famitsu number. Also of note from the last thread, this game has already outsold each of the previous games on PS2.

How about you compare MGS3 to MGS2 and then apply a linear progression again from MGS3 to the hypothetical Wii MGS4 before you start comparing a title from 2001 to a title from 2008. I have no idea what ratio staff increased by but I'm certain there was an increase in resources between 2 and 3. Kojima and co. are consistently trying to top themselves so you can't simply boil this down to texture resolution and poly counts and say a Wii version would cost similar to MGS2, because it simply wouldn't.

Notes
[ ] With the release of MGS4, last week the PS3 had its 2nd biggest week ever, just 1k units behind it's 4th week on sale way back in the 3rd week of December, 2007.
[ ] At 75k, the PS3 experienced just its 4th week ever over 70k. In contrast, the Wii has spent 35 weeks over 70k, 22 weeks over 80k, 15 weeks over 90k, 12 weeks over 100k, 7 weeks over 150k, and 4 weeks over 200k.
This is the Wii
S3 ratio over the last 12 weeks:3.95
5.62
5.95
5.36
7.03
8.36
5.40
5.41
5.55
4.22
0.61 <- GearBump
2.02
==========
Lifetime: 2.88

Notes
[ ] The Wii held 70.00% for exactly ONE week, before the PS3 so greedily snatched it away.
[ ] The Wii has lost nearly 0.09% market share in two weeks. That's almost 1/10th of 1%!!
[ ] The 360 is steadily plugging away at that unreachable 6.00% market share. Just like "one million units," it may never actually get there.
[ ] The PS3 hasn't been above 25.00% market share since the week of 04-22-07.
Market Share Gains & Losses:
[ ] 360: - 0.02
[ ] PS3: + 0.06
[ ] Wii: - 0.03
(don't ask. rounding errors)

Looks like everything will be back to "next gen" normal in a week or two.

Initially, I did not intend to do so. When I saw that almost half of those weeks were over 100k, I decided to investigate further. 3 full months since launch over 100k?! Jaheezus! I hope nobody's feelings get hurt with this data.

Year-on-year tracking
Wii: - 230,273
PS3: + 52,058
Notes
[ ] With the Wii selling almost a quarter of a million units less than it did to this point last year, and the PS3 matching its mark plus another fifty grand, it's clear that Sony has the momentum this year and is the team to beat.

So assume Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit sold say 10k at #15.
In that case Sony sold 95k PS3s in the last two weeks while managing to sell only 28k games (in the top 50 obviously) not called MGSIV in those two weeks.
Didn't anyone pick up more than one game for their shiny new PS3 or see something else they liked while at the store for MGS?

So we can go through the same 2-3 week romance with the sales like we did here? The proper answer is wait till PS4
The game was hell expensive to make, why lost the chance to sell it at premium price when your fanbase is going to pay the price regardless?hirokazu said:
In that case the price is irrelevant, being a game focused to very specific audience, it could to have no variations in units sold at lower price.

I'm trying to decide whether you're being sarcastic or not. Your wording very stongly implies that you're being sarcastic. In that case, this comment is both clever and whitty.perfectchaos007 said:
Your avatar and approach to Libertarianism, however, give me pause.

Probably a combination of (launch) price, lack of a diverse line-up, size, focus on online instead of social gaming, which leads to a certain perception.womfalcs3 said:
But while the PS3 is huge (a lot bigger than I expected) the balance board is bigger than a PS3 and on top of that you need much more room to actually play with that thing. It probably isn't a big factor in the light of this.
You could always "wait for" a redesign though, it'll probably come in the not too far away future with Sony's focus on cost-cutting.
Why? Pretty much all of the fanbase is buying the game. If they would've priced it lower they would have achieved the same sales in all probability, only with less revenue and profit. I haven't played it, but watching the cutscenes alone you can tell that a lot of effort went into making the game, so in this case I think the higher price is also justified.hirokazu said:

Based on the latest Media Create numbers...
DS vs PSP: Weekly shares of 38.1 / 61.9, bringing total shares to 70.1 / 29.9. At this week's rates PSP catches DS in 574.0 weeks (June 23, 2019). If DS stopped selling and PSP continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 220.0 weeks (September 10, 2012).
PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares of 33.1 / 66.9, bringing total shares to 25.8 / 74.2. If Wii stopped selling and PS3 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 201.2 weeks (May 1, 2012).
Based on the latest Famitsu numbers...
PS3 comparisons: After 84 weeks, PS3 is where PS2 was at 19.0 weeks (July 8, 2000), where PSP was at 51.5 weeks (November 30, 2005), where GCN was at 84.5 weeks (April 23, 2003), and where Wii was at 21.2 weeks (April 23, 2007).
Wow. Last week PS3 was where PS2 was at 18.1 weeks, so even MGS4-bump didn't move things a full PS2 week. But GCN has been surpassed again!
Wii comparisons: After 81 weeks, Wii is where GBA was at 83.7 weeks (October 25, 2002), where DS was at 67.1 weeks (March 12, 2006), where PS2 was at 95.5 weeks (December 26, 2001), and where PSP was at 146.1 weeks (September 23, 2007).
Famitsu's software pie for the week of 2008-06-09
PS3: 45.8
DS: 26.4
Wii: 13.6
PSP: 8.8
PS2: 4.0
X360: 1.1
Other: 0.2
First time PS3 has been in first. Third time it's been above Wii (after Wii launch). Also a new low for PS2.

PS3 powers past gamecube!
I presume it might stay ahead now, with the aftereffects of the gearbump

New Famitsu software data into Garaph, though some of the new games are just shitty Babelfish translations until I copy off of donny's answers. Things of note:
Sega's Pro Yakyuu Team o Tsukurou! is either the beneficiary of a bump or was the victim of a shortage. Last week it was rank 56 with 2.4K sales, this week it's rank 15 with 9.4K sales.
Brawl returns to the top 30, having gained 4-5K for each week since we last saw it.
Not new this week, but I notice Link's Crossbow Training is no longer the fastest-selling Zapper title, with RE:UC being higher at the same age.
DS Front Mission 2089 is now outpacing the first DS Front Mission as well as Front Mission Online, though it's still behind both of them. And all three of those are waaaay behind Front Mission 4 and 5.
New group: Pokémon Ranger. Batonnage hasn't passed up the original yet, but it is higher for the same age.
Taking a look at how Mario Kart Wii (blue) is holding up compared to the rest of the series, it's still nearly 400K higher than where MKDS (red) was at the same age, and looks to be increasing the gap each week. (Green: Super Circuit. Black: Double Dash!!)
New group: Bandai's Family X. I notice Family Trainer actually has a better start than Family Ski, though it appears to be slowing down more quickly.
PS3's next holiday bump will come before GCN's, though, so if it's decent-sized it should be able to weather the GCN's surge.

That does seem likely, though it depends how much PS3 goes back to its pre-MGS4 sales and then how muted the next holiday season's sales are. Let me expand the comparison to include GCN's 2003 holiday bump.The Innocent X said:

Didn't you miss Family Jockey (Wii, Bandai Namco) in that group? It was released late February/early March, I think.JoshuaJSlone said:
