With only 1.5 million units until the end of March, I don't think people are going to switch over to the new hardware that fast. Plus, there have got to be a few extra thrifty people who have not yet jumped on the DS bandwagon because of price. Retailers will probably discount units anyway, I was just wondering if Nintendo would lower the price to keep both pieces of hardware going concurrently. After all, the PS2 sold decently for a few years after the PS3 was released.

I agree with you about the release time frame, although I think they'll announce it later, with maybe a tease at TGS and big blowout at E3 '12.

The whole industry is comping this week 60k units negative on the hardware side.
Seriously, Japan is in such serious, serious trouble D:

The jailbreak makes the most sense to me. I mean... didn't this same thing happen with the PSP early in its life? Nothing in the top 20, but still selling like 20k systems a week?
We haven't seen the PS3 perform at this ratio to software sales UNTIL now. Makes sense.

Also did you miss this?
2010 Week 1 - 62k (Titles in top20: 2 in positions 6 and 16)
2010 Week 2 - 35k (Titles in top20: 3 in positions 12, 17 and 20)
2010 Week 3 - 27k (Titles in top20: 1 in position 19)
2011 Week 1 - 60k (Titles in top20: 1 in position 7)
2011 Week 2 - 33k (Titles in top20: 3 in positions 6, 9 and 20)
2011 Week 3 - 24k (Titles in top20: 0)
Gee, what a stark difference.

My lordy do people read the thread? Last year this same week, PS3 sold more
yet the only game to chart was:
19. / 17. [PS3] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Square Enix)
This is normal post-new year sales for Sony devices. Amazingly from famitsu 100 we found PS3 does have some small evergreens(MGS4 sold over 120,000 in 2010), the used market also is fully stocked in cheap games.
Add torne and Blue-rays getting more popular every day in Japan and it's understandable.

Dds was at the top spot for the past 2 weeks due to sony's inability to meet demand of psp. It's difficult to determine how excatly the psp2 annoucment effects psp sales(unless they go under 30,000) becuase supply is just starting to catch up to demand.

I think that's a good point. FM+ definitely had a much bigger package overall compared to Birth by Sleep FM, and that's one reason that can explain the much lower number. I think it's also worth noting that the gap between the releases was shorter this time. This is coming out a year after Birth by Sleep, compared to the 15 months between the releases of II (and Chain of Memories was a much older game). I doubt that's a massive factor, but I don't think it's a stretch to consider that a number of people might have felt that it was just too soon after the release of the original game to buy it again.
KuwabaraTheMan said:
Well, this Final Mix is out faster than KH2FM+, but KH FM came out like 9 months after KH, and still ended up selling as much in the first week, and in the LTD as KH2FM+. That is basically where I reinforce my conclusion that KH1 had a much bigger legs impact, and it's something that the series never continued having, contributing to the eventual decline.

What games did you expect to chart? lol @ 2 less titles charting, right coz thats such a big drop from what it was.doicare said:

doicare said:
But, what titles are you expecting to chart? It didn't have a single high profile release this week (Majin hardly counts, obviously), and none of the titles it had out last week could have been expected to be strong holdovers.
The PS3's lack of any titles in the Top 20 is simply a result of it not having any notable software out this week. It's not like noteworthy games are bombing.

Stay strong Donkey. Stay strong.
By the same token last year for the first 3 weeks of January the ps3 had next to no new releases either, the only new game that managed to make the top 20 was Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising which only just managed to make the cut for one week coming in at 20th.KuwabaraTheMan said:
Then beyond that if you look further back into the last 6 weeks of 2010 for top 20 new releases and compare that to the last 6 weeks of 2009 you see that during 2010 the ps3 had:
Gran Turismo 5
Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3
Tales of Graces F
Castlevania: Lord of Shadow
Call of Duty: Black Ops
Assassins Creed: Brotherhood
Trinity: Souls of Zill Oll
Where as in 2009 the ps3 only had:
Final Fantasy XIII
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Assassin's Creed II
I'm not saying piracy is the only reason hardware is high and software is low but in my opinion it is part of the reason.

First based on retailer blogs, first shipment of Last story is completely sold out at Nintendo, so no extra last minute orders were able to be done today(2nd shipment is tomorrow though!)
Edit: since ******** seems to want to use me as a source Please note: when Nintendo/ Wholesalers are out of the stock for the first day, assuming the first shipment estimate was actually correct(which we can't be positive about), that just means that Nintendo shipped 120,000 copies out. 120,000 copies are in stores/gamers hands now.
It does not mean that 120,000 copies have been sold through at retail.

How many copies they shipped?FINALFANTASYDOG said:
ratchet / tekken 6 / dragon ball / winning eleven didn't come out during the last 6 weeks of the year so that's why they weren't compared so that's a moot point. And whilst you are describing the types of sales for games then using your standards you would have to describe:FINALFANTASYDOG said:
Final Fantasy XIII - relatively front loaded
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Sold remarkably well
Assassin's Creed II - western niche
BowieZ said:
Depends how rapidly it falls. If it sustains the 20k figure for a bit, it won't be particularly long; a little over ten weeks if it kept the numbers up. That's not likely, but it's rather dependent on what figure it settles at; there's certainly got to be some hope that it'll become another evergreen title, and it's certainly doing okay on that front so far (A thought: we have a few established evergreens now, I wouldn't mind seeing a graph of 'evergreens' versus a graph of 'frontloaders', would give us some idea of the relative sales curves.)
I think it's possible it'd reach the million before the holiday, depending on where it settles. I'm pretty sure it's inevitable it *will* make it to seven figures.

Isnt there a Lasy Story bundle or Last Story Wii or something? Maybe these low hardware numbers are a result of people waiting for that.
The Last Story (this week biggest release, i hope)

Not only did it debut at 32, but it debuted at 32 in a week where #10 was 6k.
I take it you mean 20, but to fall a further 12 places below 6k is pretty astounding even for an undisputed total failure. I haven't checked the relevant NPD thread but somehow I doubt western sales were the title's saviour haha. As one of the few HD titles coming out of Namco and an original IP out of Gamerepublic that must really shatter confidence in that line of development.Stumpokapow said:
