If it was simultaneously released for two consoles, it would smash Symphonia 2.

Ewwww. PN03 with a different control scheme is a bad idea. It's made for the GC controller (and honestly, suffers from some flaws that need to be adressed).Vinnk said:
A Wii-targeted PN04 however would be exceedingly awesome. Although to be honest I don't know how this would work.
Nice, thank you.
What's coming out next? What's advertised like mad, what's totally ignored by retailers?
This is why I need the usual sales-agers. They have a brain (/data) for that stuff, unlike me. I'm more of a casual second hand sales-ager.
I'm thinking (no, really, I try to): MGS4 has dropped out of the Top10, so I'm guessing it's available in great numbers as second-hand game, right? What about the MGS4 PS3 bundle? That's a 400+$ item, so it's very likely to be sold back again given the usual "rent" mentality - but on the other hand, isn't it a limited/collectors edition thing with a very dedicated fanbase? I'm not so sure what takes precedence, the hoarding drive or monetary constraints.
Do we know shipment numbers for RE0:Wii? If not, could you please have a look how many copies are floating around? I'm guessing this'll be one of those "price collapse" items too...
I'm pretty sure there's much more interesting stuff to look out for, but those are my makeshift questions until our resident sales-age gurus (present company excepted, of course) show up.

Based on the latest Famitsu numbers...
PS3 comparisons: After 87 weeks, PS3 is where PS2 was at 19.7 weeks (July 14, 2000), where PSP was at 52.2 weeks (December 5, 2005), where GCN was at 93.4 weeks (June 24, 2003), and where Wii was at 21.9 weeks (April 28, 2007).
Wii comparisons: After 84 weeks, Wii is where GBA was at 86.5 weeks (November 13, 2002), where DS was at 68.2 weeks (March 20, 2006), where PS2 was at 96.0 weeks (December 30, 2001), and where PSP was at 147.5 weeks (October 3, 2007).
Based on the latest Media Create numbers...
DS vs PSP: Weekly shares of 46.0 / 54.0 bring total shares to 69.9 / 30.1. At this week's rates, PSP catches up to DS in 1540.7 weeks (January 22, 2038). If DS stopped selling and PSP continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 228.6 weeks (November 30, 2012).
PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares of 23.0 / 77.0 bring total shares to 25.7 / 74.3. If Wii stopped selling and PS3 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 335.7 weeks (December 19, 2014).
A few weeks back I mentioned that it was hard to try to compare MGS4's bump/spike to a previous PS3 event, since the only big thing that wasn't also influenced by hardware SKUs and holidays was Gundabump. Now that we've got a few weeks to go with, I was curious whether they behaved at all similarly.
Not really, it seems. MGS4's spike and drop was much quicker.
I was also wondering about how Wii is performing compared to PS2. We can all see the weekly update on how Wii at X weeks is like PS2 at Y weeks, but I want to see more of a weekly look. Not that Wii's 40-50K weeks are bad, but they're not as impressive as what it was doing last year. How does that compare to PS2? Unfortunately with them launching at different times of year there's not a perfect way to set up a weekly comparison, so I've got three flavors. In all cases Famitsu is used since the PS2 data goes back far enough, and I've capped the charts at 300K to give a better view of the less gigantic weeks.
First, launches aligned. Thus you can see the big holiday peaks don't match up. Hard to compare recent Wii performance with "recent" PS2 performance, since it was in holiday mode.
Second, dates aligned with PS2's 2000 matched to Wii's 2006. PS2's holiday 2001 and Wii's holiday 2007 match up pretty well. However, Wii has more of a post holiday lull. PS2 comes down to Wii levels, but right near the end there it looks like PS2 spikes again. There wasn't a single big PS2 game that week; in fact, Super Mario Sunshine was #1. There were 5 new PS2 games in the Top 10, though, so maybe it was the sum of bumps from different audiences?
Third, dates aligned with PS2's 2001 matched to Wii's 2006. Other than Wii spiking a bit higher in holiday 2007 versus PS2's holiday 2002, this seems a pretty close match through most of Wii's life, with little trends and bumps frequently changing which is ahead.
EDIT: Actually, I made a mistake. I wanted one where PS2 launched first, and one where Wii launched first. That the PS2 2001 / Wii 2006 one matches so well is just weird serendipity. I wonder if that will continue? Anyway, here's what I SHOULD'VE done:
Fourth, dates aligned with PS2's 1999 matched to Wii's 2006. In this case past PS2 launch Wii is pretty consistently matching/exceeding what PS2 does until the bump and bump-within-a-bump of Final Fantasy X at the end.
PS3 comparisons: After 87 weeks, PS3 is where PS2 was at 19.7 weeks (July 14, 2000), where PSP was at 52.2 weeks (December 5, 2005), where GCN was at 93.4 weeks (June 24, 2003), and where Wii was at 21.9 weeks (April 28, 2007).
Wii comparisons: After 84 weeks, Wii is where GBA was at 86.5 weeks (November 13, 2002), where DS was at 68.2 weeks (March 20, 2006), where PS2 was at 96.0 weeks (December 30, 2001), and where PSP was at 147.5 weeks (October 3, 2007).

Given that the NPD thread had about 30 replies that MGS4 selling well means Square-Enix is going to regret making FFXIII multiplat, God only knows what shitty ideas people might propose. I've heard PS2, I've heard Wii, I've heard DS+PSP multiplat with PSP enhanced features--and that's just in the last few months. :lol

Bringing FFXIII over to 360 is less problematic than bringing DQIX over. Double screen, touchscreen are issues plus PSP owners would demand better gfx than what has been shown thus far. Basically it would mean a complete revamp for a benefit that would be completely unknown (would it sell more or would sales just be diverted between both plattforms?).Mithos Yggdrasill said:
