All 4 of those PSP models are selling more than the Wii. Also they are going for a price higher than the Wii.

Wii was out of top25 while sales were around 20-24k a week, in the latest 3 weeks (since SMG release week) it was always on top25; this means demand has increased.
Another consideration: new PSP models always have a bump during weekend.

PSP started to sell strong with new models and new colors, i think it's time for Nintendo to release new Wii colors... seems like japanese people like color variations.

 

[SovanJedi]

poor smg sales = awesome

Weren't you one of the biggest voices in the whole "NPD aren't supplying us sales numbers anymore", telling everyone to not bother with sales figures and go back to talking about games again?

 

[xaosslug]

you know, what if Capcom got 0wn3d again this time around taking a chance with another Nintendo home console exclusive.

OH NOES... LET US ALL JOIN HANDS AND PRAY FOR MONSTER HUNTER 3'S FUTURE SALES

 

[Lobster]

First Twilight Princess, now Super Mario Galaxy.

How many of Nintendo's franchises will require solely NA to live off of?

Considering NA is always awesome to Nintendo products, NA will probably always be Nintendo's biggest market.

UC, a rail gun game sold 80k first week. You shouldn't worry bout Capcom and Wii.

ignore the troll. he posts to annoy not to discuss.

 

[MrSardonic]

I'm really surprised that SMG is selling so badly (in relative terms for a Mario game) in Japan.

 

[Rolf NB]

Then Reggie could mention Zelda: TP.

The best part of that conversation would be Nintendo Of Europe, hiding in a hole in the ground, trying not to be seen.

 

[AlternativeUlster]

yes, we just established Japan is a failure

Do they have Gamecube Huts in Japan?

 

[Dahbomb]

This thread in a nutshell:

*Good sales for REUC.

*SMG keeps dropping consistently and Mario Party keeps selling like cakes consistently. Bizarro world confirmed.

*Heavenly Sword debuts to shitty number to NO surprise. R&C does about the same it did last week which isn't really that good.

*DW6 sells ridiculous and is north of 250K. So basically about 1/4th of PS3 owners in Japan have DW6. :lol I kid...


Hardware numbers is going to be a big repeat of last week. PS3 outsells Wii by a margin of 2.5x and becomes the 3rd best selling overall console of the week (under DS and PSP respeectively). 360 does shit because there is nothing to buy in it for this week.

Media Creates predictions brought to you by Famitsu numbers. :lol

 

[Frillen]

poor smg sales = awesome

Horrible Ratchet sales = fantastic

Oh wait, it's not, because it's actually a really good game and I, in difference to you, don't like to see fantastic games sell bad.

Edit: Why isn't he banned from sales thread again? Give me one valid reason.

Because he is a joke account that mods have given special privileges. Don't ask me why, it's fucking stupid. Ignore him, like many others suggest.

Personally I don't give two shits about him, but I'm sure for some it gets to the point of being somewhat funny to annoying, but then again that's exactly what he's trying to achieve.

interested to see the ratio of WE between ps3 and ps2. konami should have released it exclusively on ps3 to increase ps3 hardware. after all it will benefit them in the long run.
release the ps2 version later

Konami isn't looking out for Sony's best interests, they're not going to wait for benefits in the long run when they can make said benefits by releasing the game on a system with a gazillion userbase right now.

 

[farnham]

i see to options for sonic and mario

either sonic will ruin the sales for it or mario will help it to sell..

we will see..

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

He sort of has a point though, given that a probable 97.5% of Konami's investments are tied into a PS3 exclusive at the moment. In the case of Konami (and Square), there is absolutely a good reason for them to have a vested interest in increasing the PS3 userbase.

They could "gasp" not make it exclusive instead.

I agree. PS3 is the natural extension of that franchise, and I don't think Konami wants to test the waters so openly with the Wii just yet. In fact, the title being a PS3 exclusive in the first place is probably a way for Konami to force the issue of growing the PS3 userbase to begin with.

But we've seen what has happened to Musou, Minna no Golf and Virtua Fighter; I don't think the PS3 is doing anything to make Konami think it'd be a worthwhile move.

 

[WrathOfOtaibah]

- Again, many hopes shattered that SMG will somehow start selling faster than hot cakes. At least you all can commence a circle jerk over its non-Japanese sales, where it is sure to sell at or more than 2 million this holiday season. SMG Japan might reach 750,000. Which isn't bad for a Wii game that isn't Wii Sports or Wii Play.

- Konami has an interest in seeing PS3 succeed and they might not be willing to spend that kind of money making ports to 360 and Wii. I don't know how much cash Konami has on hand to spend on porting but they are probably still imagining that even if PS3 tanks, Konami games will receive enough attention to at least break even.

- People whining about Drinky Crow are hilarious. He bashes a game and you all have aneurysms over it. His posts aren't even that funny but the reactions make it all worthwhile.

 

[Haunted]

I'm a huge Mario Party fan, so I'm pleased that its newest iteration sells well, but those Mario galaxy numbers sure are disheartening. Such a fantastic game deserves more than "decent" or "pretty good" sales.

Maybe rename SMG to Star Party featuring Mario

:lol

...

i don't see him hating on fire emblem anywhere.

Trauma Centre am cry?

 

[Parl]

Unless there's moneyhats involved (which wouldn't surprise me) it probably isn't a good idea for MGS4 and FF13 to remain PS3 exclusive. However, if Konami and SE have decided to have a 360 version (or maybe a Wii version) of these titles, it's probably in their interest to announce such a thing as late as possible.

Maybe...

Wiis numbers from Famitsu to Media Create are roughly the same

But PS3 numbers.. The difference is ~14k (53k vs. 39k)

Massive difference in MC and Famitsu numbers for PS3. Something is amiss...

Looks like we won't see spwolf in the next Media Create threads.

 

[SovanJedi]

Isn't it weird how the PS3 and PS2 have swapped numbers though? Some months back it was the PS3 that was around 8k while the PS2 was in the 30s.

Most bizarre turn of events indeed.

[BishopLamont]

Poor PS3, things don't look good for it at all, heck PSP lite did more for the PSP then PS3 new colors + price drop for the PS3. I like to see those advocating that "new trend". The thing I find most interesting is the PSP and the DS, it's getting closer and closer each week.

Nice quick edit there, Fakey McFaker.

Only because of the price drop and new color has the PS3 and PS2 swapped numbers. Before that PS3 was doing sub 20k and PS2 around 10k.
