dude i thought you lived in japan?john tv said:Does it say what the sell-through was? I was under the impression Wii sales are down because there's no hardware to be had. Is that not the case?
Terrible, actually.cjelly said:How are Wii stocks in Japan?
17. Ghost Scad (Wii) 7500 (Total: 38000)

Wha?Obaid said:europe? well bomba, ps3 outsells Wii in EU as well since some weeks
I honestly feel sorry for them if they've waited this long for the PS3 to outsell the Wii for two weeks.Visualante said:Well it kind of is, if you read up on any Sony threads you'd know how much Sony executives have been anticipating this moment. It's potentially a turning point for the console.

zallaaa said:the lack of PS3 titles on the chart make me think that the japs are buying it only because with the new prices the hardware is too much tempting... or rather:
"Blue Ray adult movies, definitely enjoy them on the new PS3" (for the non-japs like me)

Mojovonio said:Wow, that price drop did wonders.
What games are they buying?
Well I do too, they are accountable to shareholders and investors you know?Jenga said:I honestly feel sorry for them if they've waited this long for the PS3 to outsell the Wii for two weeks.

FunkyMunkey said:It's actually quite sad when it states "second week STRAIGHT".
As if two in a row in an amazing and unprecedented event.
FunkyMunkey said:No offense taken. I'd be saying the same thing for other systems as well. I just think that the OP in a sales thread should just be fact fact fact while giving all competition good coverage. Then after that, the crazy antics begin .
FunkyMunkey said:I did forget to say that these numbers ARE impressive, in a sense that it's pretty sudden. The PS3 has a good lineup for Christmas and it will be interesting to see if this trend continues further.

Draft said:Thank God. Sony is saving gaming in Japan.
Anything short of a newspaper from the future would say otherwise. Price is the barrier to entry, the cute likable adverts are running. I'm not putting any weight behind it but in the words of Luke Smith: price is the barrier to entry. That barrier has been lowered and cannot be ignored.ksamedi said:Its more like 8 days of sales, 8 days after the price drop. It will die down in a week or two.
Busty said:But it is unprecedented. Isn't it?
Did you actually read the OP? It is fact, fact, fact as you say, mentioning the 360 and software sales of the PS3 and Wii.
I'm sorry, can you speak up? I can't hear you over the sound of your furious back pedaling.
Lobster said:The real story here is that Umbrella Chronicles sells 105k!!! Fuck yeah! Lets hope it reachs 300k!
Draft said:You see now how tenuous the Nbot confidence was. How fragile its ego is. Do you know why they react so? It's fear.
They're afraid.
the price has ALWAYS been low in Japan. There's no excuseVisualante said:Anything short of a newspaper from the future would say otherwise.

For once I look forward to a sales age battle in Japan.

JoshuaJSlone said:Based on last and this week's early Famitsu numbers, what we heard about PS3 40 GB day one sales, and that these things always tend downward a bit after the peak, here's one possibility of how this two week period went.
Of course, it's hard to tell how steep the line was this week. PS3 could've been over Wii the entire week, with a bigger day-two drop and a flatter descent from there on. Or day two could've been bigger, with the rest of the week lower. *shrug*

FunkyMunkey said:- I said "wow" out loud and am surprised to see it, but I forgot to write it down. I thought it, but forgot it. So, I added it to my next post. Not backpedaling.

i thought mario galaxy was supposed to do that?ksamedi said:There really is no battle, not yet. I can imagine the PS3 finding its spot at around 20k, I would definitly be surprised if it was higher than that after the holidays. But to speak more absolutely, I think the Wii will crush it with WiiFit.
