Aw, now all hope for Nfans is lost!
It is kind of funny to hear people calling it doom and gloom when a console finally stops selling out like eight months out from launch after many millions of units sold. I expected this to happen more by March than September. If sales keep getting worse, then yes, there's a problem. But given the Famitsu discrepency there will probably be a slightly higher MC week next week to compensate.

Finally, someone did what I predicted. Just never thought that it would be Dragona that did it. I hope I didn't offend her with my previous post :

Should I see my two Wii and buy PS3 ? I can get PS3 for 600 USD, together with 3 games. Any suggestion as to which three games I should choose (English version only please) ?

The wii sale numbers are very unpredictable in both US and Japan.
In the US, just when you thought it'll go down a bit, it has surpassed DS in July.
In Japan, I was thinking it'll go back up to 60k range but the opposite is true. It's sad to see it go down this week, but you never know...

Yeah, yeah, I got your message loud and clear. How come you did not answer my question ? You know, I might really need it, especialy when (not if, since most of people agree that is inevitable that it will happen in the near future) Wii sales drop to zero. If I ask my question at that time, people will mock me for falling for the "fad".

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
Seeing Wii sales dampen down a bit is a bit discouraging, but on the upside the Xbox 360 is now selling less than 2,000. When's the last time that happened? If the trend continues, it may cause to Japanese publishers reconsider putting their games on the platform. Cheer up.

I wasn't serious. I was just referencing AniHawk's Heavenly Sword + Uncharted joke.
When I first saw those Wii numbers I immediately assumed supply went to the US for Metroid. Maybe Nintendo figures they've already won Japan so they just want to really push the US atm. But DS sales are down a bit too, so maybe it was just a slow week? (How weird to think of 90k+ as "slow").

Well, Nintendo had a good run. I'm going to sell my DS and Wii tomorrow to get a Splorgenborg.

It would be nice if anyone could post the progression chart of the Nintendo and Sony shares of the market (based on the pac man chart)?
That should be part of every media create sales thread.

lawl Why is everyone stating to talk bad about the Wii? All the other consoles have died down already.

What one would have to look at is the overall percentage of Wii consoles vs. total consoles to see how bad this week really is. If you look closely, you'll notice two things:
1. MS & Sony have been remarkably predictable in terms of sales, remaining consistent week to week all year long.
2. Nintendo appears to get every extra dollar spent on videogames in Japan. When total sales goes down, Nintendo takes the biggest hit...but still dominates the percentages week to week.
I would conclude that Nintendo is driving the industry in Japan right now, at least according to total console sales charts.

It's so odd seeing the Wii and DS do something less than phenomenal.

are you joking about people joking?
or what
Since Vinnk frequently reports that DSes are not hard to come by in Japan, I think it's safe to assume that the DS has finally somewhat plateaued (for the time being). I think this will be a short term phenomenon however, because we have not only Dragon Quest 9 on the horizon, but also DQ4,5 and 6. If the marketing guys at Nintendo have any power at all, there is probably a NSMB2 on the horizon as well. All of these would make DS sales leap again. That is, until everyone has one.
