20 of the top 30 are DS games. DS sales don't seem to be phased at all by the PS3 launch. No surprise the PS3 games sold so poorly. Gonna be nice to see the DS outsell the PS3 too

Speaking of Gundam sales, does anyone recall what Bandai's "Target Sales" were for the game?

Mario · « **Reply #2602 on:** November 16, 2006, 12:31:28 AM »

500,000.

Same with Ridge Racer, lol.

I think they've got patience, they know that at the current shipment numbers it's going to take a few months before the PS3 has even shipped enough to allow sales numbers like that.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #2604 on:** November 16, 2006, 05:06:59 AM »

I'd say that depends on when they set the target. If it was set back at E3...well, nobody expected shortages like this at that time.

Does anyone know what Sony's "refresh" rate on new shipments to Japan is even going to be? And how often do these shipments make it to the various stores for restocking?

Artimus · « **Reply #2606 on:** November 16, 2006, 07:10:54 AM »

You know, it's possible that until after the European launch in March the PS3 will never have enough systems to outsell the DS, let alone the potential Wii sales.

Its supposed to be 100k a week, but Sony is only gonna be able to provide around 30k for atleast next week. This news popped up just before the news of Sony almost halving the U.S. shipments from 400k down to somewhere closer to 250k for launch. Basically, Sony is getting hit hard lately, and I doubt the bad news stops anytime soon.

but thers all those los- I mean people waiting out side in line already for PS3 launch and Sopny promised to ship PS3s overseas to meet the high demand, CNN said so and they are always right. :SARCASM: for those who can't tell

Ceric · « **Reply #2610 on:** November 16, 2006, 05:10:42 PM »

Another victory for the DSL. Now I'll laugh if it beats the Wii next week making it a juggernaut.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #2611 on:** November 16, 2006, 05:24:14 PM »

All the Sony Platforms combined are still 31,255 less than the DS Lite alone. Nintendo is obviously doomed.

Actually, PS3, PS2, and PSP combined might match DS sales. I guess it depends on if Nintendo added enough new stock.

It was too easy to call, sad to say though, next week could be worse(PS3 restock?).
What would be funny is if DS in Japan outsells PS3 @ the U.S. launch.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #2613 on:** November 17, 2006, 03:21:41 AM »

PS2 took a pretty big dive after the PS3 launch. I'm surprised, considering how few people actually got one.

I personally doubt PS3 will ever sell more than 100,000 in one week in Japan this year. Where is Sony going to get those magical extra PS3s when they could only provide 80,000 on the first day - after months of ramp-up time?

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #2614 on:** November 17, 2006, 03:38:10 AM »

Isn't the DS selling around 400,000 or so per month lately in the US? That's comparable to the launch total of the PS3... and with the release of killer games like Pokemon, FF III, and others, well, you never know. DS might surpass PS3 in the USA as well.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #2615 on:** November 17, 2006, 07:42:52 AM »

Wii and DS will probably both outsell PS3 for Novebmer just because Sony has such poor shipment numbers.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #2616 on:** November 18, 2006, 01:22:36 PM »

A lot of sites think Sony actually only had around 250,000 or so for the US launch, so there's a very good chance DS will outsell PS3 for the month.

Artimus · « **Reply #2617 on:** November 22, 2006, 08:35:21 AM »

Sony better pray the PS3 sells well, because the PSP is sinking like a rock, and the software is already submerged.

NPD October
Portable Hardware
Total DS: 360,414
PSP: 130,466

Portable Software
DS software: 1,364,809
GBA software: 1,283,132
PSP software: 653,340

31 Flavas · « **Reply #2618 on:** November 22, 2006, 10:55:07 AM »

Do they mention SP hardware sales too? It would be mockably funny if the PSP was still getting its ass handed to it 2:1 by 5 year old tech.

edit: Ha. Yes, even funnier if the SP outsold the PS3 even....

MaryJane · « **Reply #2619 on:** November 23, 2006, 01:44:43 AM »

FFIII disappointed me by not making the top ten this time around.

I still don't know what FTW means.

I want the damn Wii numbers already.

UncleBob · « **Reply #2620 on:** November 23, 2006, 02:06:47 AM »

It's a shame that NPD doesn't count Wal*Mart. I'd love to see GameBoy Micro sales for November...

AFAIK, "For the Win".

Artimus · « **Reply #2622 on:** November 23, 2006, 04:55:44 AM »

The whole WalMart thing is continually baffling. Surely they go through at least half as many systems and games as the others combined. The NPD needs to figure out how to get data from them. Japan is so much better at this thing...

31 Flavas · « **Reply #2623 on:** November 23, 2006, 06:24:11 AM »

Last I knew they include wal*mart, but because wal*mart won't give them numbers they just estimate. I've seen lots of people want to assume wild or random estimates, but when I subtract Japanese and European numbers from World sales totals, NPD's numbers are spot on.

Artimus · « **Reply #2624 on:** November 23, 2006, 07:42:13 AM »

Ahh, so they do estimate? Good. I didn't realize they did estimations.
