07. / 02. [PS3] Yakuza 4: Heir to the Legend (Sega) - 33.936 / 501.095 (-59%)
14./04. [PS3] Yakuza 5 # <ADV> (Sega) {2012.12.06} (¥8.800) - 40.187 / 479.885 (-52%)
3 weeks in and currently trailing behind Y4. With the longer development cycle I guess the returns won't be as great for Y5. Unless of course the holiday period gives it boost, or longer legs.

Every sentence in this post is false.

GameCube did have better numbers the last few weeks of 2001, though, with SSBM the main pusher and Animal Crossing/Pikmin as support.
Ware titles have done swell, especially considering the first was a GCN game very much based on the GBA game.
The others, nothing to write home about.
It's already doing miles better than Vita, but I could see it going DS-fied. It spent a lot of 2005 in the 20s and 30sK before a few things really caught on.DrWong said:
3DS hardware: 9.5 million
PS3 hardware: 8.7 million
Best selling 3DS game: 2.1 million (ACNL)
Best selling PS3 game: 1.9 million (FFXIII)
Next goal:
Wii hardware: 12.6 million
Best selling Wii game: 4.4 million (NSMBWii)
The ACNL line gets me every time.

It should be possible i guess
At least if Nintendo makes some HDMI cable that can be connected to a 2nd controller. Maybe streaming the picture will also work, but then the framerate will be cut in half.That is true. I just wanted to say that buying a WiiU without having a TV could quickly become a hurdle. But it also depends on exactly which games one want to play.

Wii U will drop like a rock in Q1, but I don't think we will see 10k numbers, more like 20-30k. Of course, it depends on how Nintendo planned its releases, because now there's nothing and that's worrying; however, they could release Wario Ware, Wii Fit U and Pikmin 3.
I almost feel bad for the other games how AC just comes out of nowhere and spoils the race that's been going on for the past year.
Yep, it's a likely scenario.

MK7: Yee! I'm gonna get the 2 millions very soon!!!
SM3DLand: No, I won't let you!
MH3G: Ehi, don't forget about me.
All the trinity: I'll get there! No, I will!
Animal Crossing: Ehi guys. Ups, sorry, gotta go
*Animal Crossing does two millions very quickly, the others don't talk anymore*

What in the world can they do to revive it at this point? Maybe they can beg Iwata to double the price of the 3DS. Then they'll be roughly on par sales-wise.

Anyone remember the guy I avatar bet with? If you see this, PM me or post the avatar.
By the way, not to make excuses (seriously), but I didn't actually realize it was for Christmas week when making the bet. Almost everything went up significantly, even Vita went up 50%, so it was definitely not a good week for that bet. Ironically, Wii U was the only hardware that didn't go up (excluding 360) which probably isn't a good sign.

Seriously i didn't lol
It needs droves of moms and grandmoms to go out and buy one - in addition to their iPad - to play simple casual games or wholesome apps like Brain Training/Sudoku/Cooking Guides/Tour Guides/SwapNote... and content that vastly improves upon or sets it apart from iOs... I wonder if any of this is being planned right now at Nintendo SPD/SDD/NSD, let alone the marketing campaign it would require.

Hehe, i like the .gif chart Not just with the Animal Crossing at the end, but cool to see how the bars climb like that.
Not just with the Animal Crossing at the end, but cool to see how the bars climb like that.Get more games (Q1 is already a good improvement eventhough that there arent any huge sellers) and drop the price on the hardware. How well it will work is another question however, but that is what they can do
You truly are amazing.
Re: Wii U...ehh. I think most of us knew there was going to be a big January decline, so that isn't news. Hardware numbers aren't great, but without knowing the stock situation cannot tell all that much. It seems like the premium pack is somewhat supply constrained and those are taking up the bulk of the shipments.
It isn't the Vita, clearly, but it also isn't going to repeat the initial Wii success.
i dont think nintendo would be fine with that. They have 2013 for them (unless ps4 comes out 2013, which seems unlikely according to rumors) and should be the dominating system in japan in 2014. 7 million implies that they falter to oblivion after ps4 launches
Last December that 3DS sold 500k in a week and had a record December there were moms and grandmoms that went out out to buy one - in addition to their iPad - to play simple casual games or wholesome apps like Brain Training/Sudoku/Cooking Guides/Tour Guides/SwapNote... and content that vastly improves upon or sets it apart from iOs...
More games (moneyhatting?), big price cut (making a loss?), a marketing boost, all possible things if Sony is happy to risk billions.

Yeah see... just really, really poor timing on that bet. Derped hard. I predict it will be under 100k within two weeks, probably next week assuming it's not another traditionally big holiday week.
Isnt sonys financial status dire and their credibility rating at junk status?

Seriously, it's hard to replicate those 600k DS in a week (1mln in two weeks!), but 3DS is still doing a great job. Next year, Nintendo should push Pokémon 6th generation in the holiday season, maybe 3DS could also reach 700k then

Yep, dropped to Junk by Fitch Ratings. I'm not sure what status the Sony stocks have at other credit rating agencies though.

Should reach both goals next year.
That means interest rates will ge higher and spending money will be more costly for them
lol
All that hard agonising work over 12 months.
also Shyamalan twist feels amusingly apt too.
Yakuza 5 costs a 10% more at retail than previous Yakuza games

It could be, but i have no idea how the junk status from one credit agency affects the whole situation for Sony. I just know that there are many credit agencies.

Barren release forecast ain't good for the Wii U; if it ends up like the 360/Vita like some are predicting that is pretty bad. Terrible sales except for weeks when it has first party releases? Awful.
Also, Blops2 Dubbed for WiiU failing to chart despite launch parity with the other consoles is a pretty bad omen, although it might not be the best indicator due to COD's niche status in Japan. What's the next game to simultaneously launch on PS3 and Wii U?

The game is also available on PSP; were you really expecting a big boost?
I'm gonna get the PSP version because I can make out with the screen without worrying about setting off a bunch of touchscreen stuff.

Where do people come up with this stuff? Have these been drafted and ready to go for weeks?

No, sane person is saying Wii U is going to perform on par with Vita or 360 in japan. Your entire post isnt grounded with reality.

AKB PSP outsells the superior version 4:1. Not surprising, but further indication of how GE2 and Bamco's other Vita multiplats are likely to sell.
Well Wii U numbers are okay I guess, it's a hold pretty much. Doesn't bode well for the next few weeks though, there's absolutely nothing concrete on the horizon...
Nice software sales for the 3DS, Animal Crossing is mighty impressive.
Hokuto Musou bombing bad as expected. I suspect the same fate will happen to One Piece Musou 2.

There are three major rating agencies and depending on their rating the creditor will demand more interest

People were during the first two week Wii U were out in Japan...
They are still convinced even though Wii U has outsold Wii so far...
