Monster Hunter chart for reference:
Will NSMBWii trend more like Mario Kart or Monster Hunter? Hmmmm.....

Anywho, yes, Nintendo has been on a downward trend for a while now. And history has shown that NCL cares more for the bottom line than market or mindshare. Well, all companies do.
But, Iwata & Co. seem to put the spark back into the machine for masses to enjoy. I have a suspicion they might still have a trick or two up their sleeve.Dragona Akehi

Thanks for the Media Create numbers!
I would at least guess one of the reasons for why the MC drop regarding the PS3 numbers are lower than the Famitsu drop this week is because of the rather large large difference in the last week's numbers.
EDIT: I added some text.
I was wondering if the PS3 drop in the Media Create numbers would be smaller than the drop in the Famitsu numbers because of the rather large difference (about 11k or so) between MC and Famitsu regarding the PS3 hardware numbers last week. It seems that this was the case since the PS3 Media Create numbers only drop with 2,422 this week compared to last week while the Famitsu numbers dropped with 13,000.beast786 said:

Based on the latest Famitsu hardware numbers...
PSP comparisons: After 251 weeks, PSP is where PS2 was at 197.1 weeks (December 7, 2003), where DS was at 104.7 weeks (December 1, 2006), and where GBA was at 170.1 weeks (June 21, 2004).
X360 comparisons: After 199 weeks, X360 is where GCN was at 19.9 weeks (January 26, 2002), where PS3 was at 41.6 weeks (August 23, 2007), and where Wii was at 6.0 weeks (January 6, 2007).
PS3 comparisons: After 151 weeks, PS3 is where PS2 was at 55.1 weeks (March 19, 2001), where PSP was at 82.1 weeks (July 3, 2006), where GCN was at 172.1 weeks (December 27, 2004), and where Wii was at 44.8 weeks (October 5, 2007).
Wii comparisons: After 148 weeks, Wii is where GBA was at 103.1 weeks (March 10, 2003), where DS was at 79.2 weeks (June 5, 2006), where PS2 was at 124.1 weeks (July 15, 2002), and where PSP was at 172.8 weeks (March 29, 2008).
DSi comparisons: After 48 weeks, DSi is where GBASP was at 67.1 weeks (May 24, 2004) and where DSL was at 23.3 weeks (August 8, 2006).
Based on last week's Media Create hardware numbers...
DS vs PSP: Weekly shares of 55.5 / 44.5 bring total shares to 68.5 / 31.5. If DS stopped selling and PSP continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 294.0 weeks (May 25, 2015).
X360 vs PS3: Weekly shares of 10.2 / 89.8 bring total shares to 24.0 / 76.0. If PS3 stopped selling and X360 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 582.8 weeks (December 5, 2020).
PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares of 51.5 / 48.5 bring total shares to 29.7 / 70.3. At this week's rates, PS3 would catch up to Wii in 2,296.2 weeks (October 7, 2053). If Wii stopped selling and PS3 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 131.3 weeks (April 10, 2012).
Week over week, PSP and Wii have price cut bumps, DS drops quite a bit, and the rest drop modestly.
Through the first forty weeks of the year, overall sales are down. However, the systems can be split into camps of 3 up and 3 down. Here's how the year-to-date year-over-year percents stand as of now.
Wii: -52.2%
DSL+DSi: +16.3%
PS2: -54.3%
PS3: +43.3%
PSP: -44.3%
X360: +56.2%
Home hardware: -27.5%
Portable hardware: -16.3%
Sum of all hardware: -20.8%

Damn the Wii price drop hardly had any increase in sales. Just about a 20K increase is pitiful.

There have been games in which the Best Price re-release was vital to the overall game reaching a million, but no, no Best Price standalone SKU has ever made it to 1 Million until MHP2ndG.
I think Nintendo's past hits have the potential to make it to 1 Million if they were re-released at a budget. I can see NSMB and MKDS regaining their legs if Nintendo released ¥2980 versions of them or something. But clearly the company's more interested in maintaining higher software prices over time, even in the U.S.
Eh, yea? "Hey look, its the spiritual sequel to the game I (and millions of others) bought and keep buying." It is nothing unusual since I hear it everytime (not literally how the reaction goes of course) someone notices the boxart on Gamestop's shelves.ethelred said:

Glad to see Strange Journey being successful. Announce that fucker for the US already! Out of curiosity, how does that compare to other mainline SMT games? :x
If I remember correctly, Heian-kyo was calling Animal Crossing DS a bomb because it only sold ~400k in the first week. :loldonny2112 said:

There's always some amount of incompleteness, but from my data it looks like DS took the lead with Pokémon's second week.freddy said:

Apparently it's too difficult for Mistwalker to just release a good turnbased RPG on the DS, using the Blue Dragon name.
Wow, nice SMT numbers. DS is a RPG beast!
Blue Dragon is a shame, though not surprising. The game looks genuinely fun and of very high quality. The tainted 'Xbox' stigma haunts this series still.... That and no advertising. This was sent to die
Maybe they thought thought looking like DQIX was enough. I'm gonna guess 12k first week.

Not too bad for Eldar Saga considering the shipment, maybe due to the low shipment it was really hard to find? I've read a lot of people in NA post that they have trouble finding XSEED's games, so the saying's true, "You can't buy what you can't find".
What was LKS' 1st day total and sellthrough again?

I had incredibly low expectations for blue dragon and still it fell way short. Its almost beyond belief how bad they fucked up that series.

Famitsu First Day Sales Analysis (10/08)
[NDS] Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey (Atlus) - 71,000 (63%)
Niiiice. Excellent first day and good sell through, hopefully it has a second in the weekend because I think its locked for a >100k first week and the first shipment is 113k.
Sinobi first day comparisons for Atlus on DS:
2007 Month 01: DS "Etrian Odyssey" - 22k
2008 Month 02: DS "Etrian Odyssey Ⅱ" - 52k
2009 Month 01: DS "Devil Survivor" - 35k
2009 Month 10: DS "Shin Megami Tensei: STRANGE JOURNEY" - 71k
Btw, Persona PSP did 65k but it was a 2-day number.
[NDS] Blue Dragon: Ikai no Kyojuu (Bandai Namco Games) - 7,500 (22%)
Where did I put my Tri-Crescendo should start looking for a new publisher? Oh well just a little fix:
[PS3] White Knight Chronicles: EX Edition (SCE) - 3,400 (25%)
Not-so-budget re-release updating the game. Kinda like GT5 Prologue Spec III.
Should behave like a normal budget re-release anyway, its 3800Y. Surprised at the low shipment though, for a rather low risk release like this.
[WII] Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga (Marvelous Entertainment) - 3,300 (29%)
No first day data for VK1 or VK2. VK2 Battle Stance (expansion, budget re-release hybrid) did 5,800. First week, VK did 14k, VK2 did 35k and VK2BS did 14k.
[NDS] Tago Akira no Atama no Taisou Dai-3-Shuu (Level 5) - 560 (6%)
Its funny that when 1 & 2 released, we didn't get first day sales for #2, and now that 3 & 4 are released, we miss #4. Anyway, really bad because #1 did 5,300 its first day and for the first week #1 did 10k and #2 did 4,700. 560 is poor and with #4 data missing I don't even want to think how it did.
