Poke Plau it May 22nd over here I think (recent anouncement) and that is a little later than Easter.
Walk... is the only non DSi game to behave like a DSi in terms of Miis and Wii interaction so I expected it before, but maybe they will cross advertise.
Personally I expect DSi for the summer.

I'd say they're almost definitely in order of sales. If you look at the multiplatform games that have a Wii version, the Wii is in front on the games you would expect: Shaun White, Lego Batman, Sonic, etc. and behind in things like COD and Fifa.
I also think the order is just for January, so Fallout 360 is probably above the PS3 version overall, just not last month.
If it is true, it really shows just that third-party multiplatform games that appear on the Wii are generally doing pretty damn well, and across a wide variety of genres. And whenever one of the HD system's version outsells the Wii version, the other HD version does as well. The games which have a Wii, PS3 and 360 version:

34. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed | Wii/360/PS3/DS/PSP/PS2 | LucasArtsI think the ordering of consoles is by sales. Didn't Shaun White Wii do better than the HDs, and didn't Sonic Unleashed Wii do the best, and isn't GH: Wii doing the best too? I remember seeing this in the PAL charts threads before. PS2 is dying in software sales too, Sony's own numbers have it down sixty percent year over year, that could push PSP ahead of it. And it makes since for SVR to be the best on the PS3 since it started on the PS.
I think you read too much into my comment. I was just responding to somebody elses joke, and then continued to give my take on this year's sales situation.doicare said:
There is a massive correlation between lack of new software on HD Twins and Wii scoring high on the weighted charts. There's also a moderate correlation between summer holidays and lack of new software on PS3 and 360.
You didn't prove a single thing last time, and I didn't respond primarily because I would have had to have repeated myself and I thought I'd respond at a later date, and then later, because I didn't see the point.

So what holiday is this again?
It is convincing if you actually believe the dates he uses for "school holidays". They seem to change every time.Bananakin said:
Oh wow a whole 6000 units difference. Those damn kids. I really thought you were just trolling at the start, but at this point I don't even know what to call it anymore. It's pretty damn sad.doicare said:
Why hello thar.
So, basically I was bored, so I looked up some stuff with weighted charts for 2 PS3 games, LBP and GT5P.
I think this is interesting, and puts the weighted charts, as well as regular rank, in perspective. If anything, it shows that one game's rank does not mean anything regardinh its sales.
Here we go.
The actual rough numbers come from the ELSPA sales awards.
Basically, it took a slightly shorter time lapse for LBP to go from >200k to >300k, with roughly the same weighted ranks than GT5P. So this could mean that two different games sold roughly the same when they have equivalent weighted charts.
However, even if GT5P reached the gold award faster than LBP, the latter achieved this with a much lower weighted rank (~27 vs 69)
Morality: the ranks, even weighted, do not mean anything regarding the actual sales.
Also, LBP did not bomb at all, eat that haters

Unfortunately it doesnt make any sense at all because LBP and GT5P were released in different time frames of the year. Of course even though LBP has "lower" weighted rankings its going to have more sales. Thats because EVERYTHING has more sales during the holiday season. I suggest comparing titles that came out in similar time frame.Raist said:
I don't think it's "convincing" in the slightest. It's good practice to not be persuaded by statistics without context. The relevant context being all other things that we know affect hardware sales - shortages, new big software, new big software on competing platforms, price drops for a system, increased/better advertising, big new shipments of a big game (like Wii Fit), seasonal variations, a general increase/decrease in hardware sales momentum (increasing or decreasing good WOM).BishopLamont said:
The Wii was growing throughout a lot of the year, with a Wii Fit/Mario Kart related spike in the middle of it. If a platform is on an upwards trend, of course the average hardware sales before the holiday are going to be lower, and it's also shows that the average hardware sales in the period after the first holiday are higher, so with the displayed logic, Wii got a boost by entering a non-holiday period - of course this isn't true, just as how if Wii was helped in the holiday weeks, it's not showed by the data.
Even if the data was consistent with some minor correlation with holiday/non-holiday periods (which it loosely is, but we already know the reason why, which most, including doicare has agreed on - software), then that wouldn't be proof. Another relevant point to consider is that Wii suffered a shortage in the opening couple of weeks of 2008, which lowered your average.
The data is too sporadic, has too many inconsistences with such a theory to be provable. The first week back from the first holiday has higher sales for Wii than the first week of the first holiday.
The general outline for Wii last year was, increases in momentum, followed by big Wii Fit/Mario Kart related increases, followed by the typical decreases after the software bump, levelling off in a moderately consistent level of sales, higher than that before the bump (Wii Fit and Mario Kart legs / in tandem with Wii's general momentum increases), then the rest of the year.
That's the general. I see no unexplainable increases at the holiday that buck the trend, followed by a decrease at the end of said holiday, that continued the trend.
What I'm explaining is not that the theory relating to holidays is incorrect, but that it's unprovable because it's at best a minor contributor, and with such variations in weekly data, and all of many the factors which affect sales at different periods, it's not a testable theory. I don't think it's possible to prove this theory, especially as its effect is minor at best, which is why I'm not impressed by the low standards that have been given to make the claim that such a theory has been proven.
I'd imagine that if it is indeed a reality that school holidays make a minor contribution to Nintendo platform's hardware sales in UK/Europe, then the same would apply in other regions. Maybe looking at data from other regions would help in testing the theory, but the statistics must come with context, otherwise statistics are incredibly misleading.

That last graph Xyphie posted is number of game copies sold. Also a note about that playstation 1 sales were included in playstation 2 sales 2003 and 2004.
The second one is the spread of volume but thats probably not hard to understand.
I don't understand the first one unless there is a mistake putting 2007 on both sides in the table. I think it should be 2008 on the left and LTD on the right.

The weighted charts are inconclusive, i have said this many times but yet you still go on about them like they are the be all and end all of my point, you can put the camparisions i made using them down to just coiencidence if you like but the fact is i proved my point using nintendo's own hardware numbers and no amount of spinning will ever change that.Parl said:
Except they don't change every time, if you want to come out with accusations like that then you're going to have to back them up, otherwise you're just a liar. The bottom line is originally over 6 months ago i used the timetable from a local high school to make my comparisions, then after some people pointed out 3 of the school holiday weeks were different to most of the rest of the country i used the updated school holiday dates posted in that thread and to this day i have always used those same dates.BishopLamont said:
Good job on selectively picking the holiday with the least boost in sales *rollseyes*. I guess you missed the first holiday boost of 14,000+ per week and the second holiday boost of 25,000+ per week. Also good job on failing to read the part that explains why the final holiday boost was 6,000, the sooner you stop trolling me and stop acting like a fanboy the better GAF will be.BishopLamont said:
You talk in such a general way about all these things and you're trying to paint a picture that says wii's weekly sales were growing all year which some how explains most things, and anything that can't be explained by this can be explained by a new game being released for the wii, this isn't the case at all. Apart from me proving weekly average holiday sales were higher then the equivalent non school holiday weekly sales, more specifically i also proved the vast majority of time, the exact week schools broke up for the holidays wii sales went up and the exact week the holidays finished wii sales went back down again. Just take the first school holiday as an example, week 6 before schools broke up the wii sold 92,000, the first week of the holidays (week 7) it sold 95,000, the second holiday week (week 8) it sold 109,000 and when the holidays had finished (week 9) it dropped down to sales of 103,000. And anytime the drops in sales after the holidays don't exactly match, they happen the following week instead. Just because there are other factors involved doesn't change the fact that kids being on school holidays is a factor.Parl said:
It's amazing you continue to shit up these threads 7 months after your original assertion. Correlation does not imply causation. It's pretty clear from your posting history you thought Wii would fail and PS3 would win (even after both had been on the market for some months). This whole kids/holidays thing seems like your own personal bargaining...

That is convincing to you?Bananakin said:
I only have the first section to judge from as I don't know where holidays are being assigned for the rest of the year but just using the data from weeks 2-6 vs 7-8 and applying a t-test (2 tail, unequal variance) there is a 26% chance that the two means are the same when you take into account variance. 5% or less is your basic cut-off for any reliability of significance.
If we take the 3 totals he gives us 88,105,115 and 102,130,120 these too are not statistically different, although that is not the way to do statistics as we are ignoring the variance within those averages. So if doicare provides us with the weeks he is designating for holidays and which for term time, we can perform the statistical analyses to determine if there is a true difference for both the entire year and for the individual segments. Then hopefully people can just use the "what holiday is it" meme without having to actually discuss it.

Left 4 Dead moving up the charts again too.
What is amazing is that it seems nobody around here is entitled to say anything that can be seen as negative in anyway towards the wii, which is a pretty sad state of affairs when somebody can't give an opinion. And at the same time it seems like everybody has a free pass to bash the 360 and ps3 (especially the ps3, go check out the latest npd thread). It was my opinion at the begining of the generation that the ps3 would eventually win, that was an opinion that was held by most, yet now 3 years later thanks to some laughable revisionist history anybody saying they thought the ps3 would win was a moron/fanboy. I originally spoke about school holidays effecting sales because as far as i was concerned it was just common sense and despite me bringing a sh*tton of evidence to backup what i have said some people still feel the need to bash and ridicule.Weisheit said:

Uh huh, what i said was not a throw away comment.
Sooooo, how exactly have i altered my argument? How am i 'carefully' choosing my data?
As for the holiday periods, they cover pal weeks 7,8,14,15,16,17,21,22,23,30,31,32,33,34,35 with pal weeks 28,29 being the last two weeks of the summer term when very little work is done.

It's funny everytime you bring up your theory doicare, there's a whole bunch of people willing to laugh at it, and yet there's not one person that will back you up. Want to take a guess why?

It was only after it was pointed out that Wii sw was strong for months previously, that your argument changed from summer holidays to every holiday in Britain.doicare said:
Why is it anyone else's job to prove you're wrong? Don't you have to prove yourself correct first? The only thing you've proven is correlation, I can do that too:
