544,034 of Wii sold in 3 weeks compare well with the 795,206 sold GCN in 2001 (which consist of around 13-15 weeks, starting from launch date of Sep 14, 2001).

It does matter, since it means that the data you base your prediction has areas that might not made your prediction come true. Of course, it is still a possibility that your prediction can still come true. Personally, I believe 5-10K is more likely than just 2K in Jan 2007.

Sales all around are great. It's nice to see the market here pick up again. Let's hope this upward swing continues!
Thanks.
DSL, since launch has been sold out everywhere, and still is. Since DSL's launch you haven't been able to walk into a store and easily get one.
Wii and PS3 are still in their launch windows and supply constrained. Every unit they make is going to sell out for a while. WTF were you guys expecting to happen? We won't see a clear winner in the post-PS2 home game console war for quite some time.
Why on earth would you think anyone thought this would happen? (at least this close after launch of both Wii and PS3)

360 first holiday season was also its launch, and also I didn't talk about January sales but sales of 360 in (early) 2007 in general. I meant anyone who expects 360 to do significantly better than Xbox is just out of his mind.apujanata said:
And Fyi, Xbox was at almost 300k LTD at that point:

When all said and done, I don't think 360 will have much larger installed base than Xbox.
starship said:
Will it even match Xbox's? Maybe all those JRPGs will help push it, but I'm starting to worry that the BD audience is the audience for those games and further appeal will be limited.
Strange seeing this thread so much smaller than last week's. :lol

PS3 is doing very, very well considering the cost of the machine.
davepoobond
you can't put a price on sparks
it feels like 4 or 5 people are the only ones posting anymore. its a barren wastleand.
you have to remember that PS3 is a lot less expensive in Japan than in other regions.

I personally don't think it will match Xbox numbers either, but about 600-700k is still a reasonable guess, not that ridiculous 2m predictions some guys here talking about. Seriously GC did about 4m and some people here think 360 will do 2m? :lolY2Kevbug11 said:

in their FIRST DAY, but that's old news.
Can we please throw this bullshit argument out. If the PS3 was the exact same as the Wii but cost twice as much, THEN you could be impressed with its performance considering its price.NintendosBooger said:
Sony chose to make the PS3 a tehcnical powerhouse with BluRay, Cell, etc..., and all of that is part of the price. The PS3 couldn't exist at a lower price so how can we be impresed with its performance other than strictly sales. Why do the PS3, and 360 in NPD threads, get to have this excuse for their poor performance.
Does anybody say that the Gamecube did very, very well considering it was missing DVD playback and had poor third party support? NO, you look at the sales figures and Gamecube stunk up the joint despite being a great little console.
If the Wii performed poorly, would you be able to get away with saying "The Wii did great considering the poor visuals and lack of online infrastructure." You would be called a fool, and rightly so. The numbers are the only thing that matters.

Donny could would you consider showing a line graph of LTDs over time? I'd like to see how quickly the DS got separation over the PSP, how far away from the GBA it is, and then in the other one I'd like to see how quickly the 360 diminishes to < 10%.
Well yeah, but that argument has been getting a lot of mileage in regards to the 360 in NA too.Odysseus said:You could have just said "let's see what happens once we get outside of the launch period." Really, that's all that can be said right now.
Same goes for the other guy.
EDIT: Just to be clear, I don't think the PS3 is doing badly at all. They are selling everything they can ship and rightly so.

He actually makes a convincing point, basically saying that excuses suck.

Well, if sales do not favor your system, you typically stay away from the thread
Exactly. Nothing really can be said about the Wii/PS3 battle in Japan at this point.Odysseus said:
What can be said is that the Wii seems to be doing a heck of a lot better than the GCN, but it's all still carrying over from the launch. The GCN was selling about the same amount during the same week of it's launch year. Let's hope Nintendo can keep the momentum going into the new year.
Actually, wasn't the GCN only selling about 30k-40k for the few weeks after launch in JPN? Also the fact that it had not been selling out, after selling what it did. Although I'm not sure whether or not those GCN numbers are correct or not (using VGCharts), so I'm kind of ignorant as to the matters of the GCN launch.Yamauchi said:
And I'm also assuming GCN software sales were much lower.
We can't say anything at this point. GC launched in a non holiday period of time so we can't compare its sales with the Wii sales week by week easily. At this point all we can say is the demand for the Wii is a lot higher than its supply and if Nintendo could ship more units, its sales would be a lot higher than what it is now. But we can't compare its sales with GC sales atm.Busaiku said:

Neither do I. COINCIDENCE?
OH NOES NON-GAMERS ENTERING THE MARKET STEALING OUR GAMES
Narrow game/marketing variety - smaller market. Broad game/marketing variety - bigger market.
Before, the market catered for me and you. Now, it's catering for me, you and them. More gamers, more games.
But get this. I'd say that they are more likely to jump over to playing more traditional videogames than me and you are to jump over to playing more new market games (instead of traditional videogames).
This means that not only has the market expanded, but there will probably end up being more demand for more traditional games in the future than there is now and was several year ago. If the type of games you like are what new gamers will like tomorrow, then the demand for games you like will go up and the supply of games you like will increase.
There's the argument that developers will shift focus to making games for them instead of me and you. But that's running under the assumption that and expanded market doesnt mean and expanded amount of development muscle. An assumption I don't want to make, and neither should you.

We need to all stop agreeing about there really being nothing to talk about or we won't have anything to talk about.
I'll re-stir the pot a little
Based on Total Sales for each. Started tracking after December 3rd (otherwise 360's would look like -75%).
