PC gaming is too superior for lowly console chartz.notworksafe said:
You mean it was a solid performance by everyone all around? DQIX is virtually non existent in the west, that is why.Paracelsus said:

Damn. Very nice 360 sales indeed. Wonder how long the momentum will last, but they're making up serious ground now.
Anybody have the YTD comparison for PS3 vs 360?
So the Wii is actually (very slightly) UP YOY, and without a major title like Wii Sports Resort to propel it?
Crazy. Adds a lot of perspective. Wii will probably clean house again this holiday.

Nice for DQIX. Now they just need to build the series up from there.
It is tough to gauge since we only get a handful of numbers, but you don't see top end software growth going in line with 360 hardware growth. The 360 hardware number is amazing, yet NCAA 11 is down year over year on 360 for software sales (very slightly but it is) and Crackdown 2 sold under half on a much larger user base and a crazy hardware month. Not sure what to make of it, but does it help a theory that a lot of the slims being sold are by previous owners? I honestly don't know.

Lowered expectations since DQ doesn't do as well in the west?

Yes, they did. Ad campaign with Seth Green, playing in movie theatres and on tv and stuff all over the place.

Or maybe who bought those 360s is not your average xbox player, which is exactly what Microsoft wants I guess.

Summer not so hot for Wii. Can they again make up the difference at holiday time? Do they go $150 or wait and then quick burn before the new thing in 2012?
Even with the sales it will not be a cash cow like PS2 was in years 5-10. Wii is fairly dependent on Nintendo itself infusing with software. And they will cut and move to next system.

and the recent 360 banwave from people exploiting MW2 to play free SNK games probably boosted sales...SEGAmaniaco said:

Again, they're even (actually slightly up) compared with last year (YOY).
At least for this month, there is no "difference" to make up. They didn't even have Wii Sports Resort this year like they did last year.
It seems evident that Wii is increasingly holiday-loaded, probably more so than the other consoles. I have no doubt that it's going to make a killing this holiday again.

...I thought that for some unspecified reason DQ did better than that in the states. In that case yeah, good reason to celebrate indeed.

Well yeah the expectations were low that was the point on Ninty publishing and advertising wasn't it? Plus it was $5 cheaper then DQIV/V and released in a month void of big game releases as the top 10 shows. I dunno I was just hoping for something bigger I guess.

The Wii will still outsell the 360 this holiday.Mrbob said:
Yeah, so.
PSP is done, pretty much.
Wii is slipping some now.
Fantastic 360 month. The slim (and I assume clearance prices on some of the older models) is doing well for them.

Yes I know it's up YoY. I meant in relative terms to the other platforms.

I don't know, I would consider Starcraft 2 the mother of all big game releases personally.
(Yeah yeah, I know they're in two different genres. Just saying).
Honestly, I think people need to moderate their expectations. A niche game series isn't likely to suddenly hit it big in the west just because Seth Green is shilling for it or an angry Scotsman is ranting about the masculinity of crab fishermen.

Whats your point? The already low Wii price isn't going to benefit as much from a price drop as the other consoles.Road said:

The DS is starting to slow down in Japan. Which is why we have the 3DS coming soon. If I remember correctly, the GBA was still selling gangbusters when the original DS was released here in the US and it continued to do so for a long time after that.
As for the Wii, it would not shock me to see its replacement announced by next E3.
