But if you do it like that then you should also lump the Playstation line together, and if you do it's possible they pull ahead.

I expected Nintendo to dominate this week... but damn.

[BlackNMild2k1]

This week was good, but I think next week will be even better.
The week after that though.... the week of New Years, thats the week I'm curious to see.

If I wasn't being so darn lazy these last few months I would of seen this coming...  darn move...

Looks like no MC or Famitsu this week, but here are some LTD #'s for France

French LTD:

PS2: 5.5m
DS: 4.2m
WII: 1m
PSP : 600 k
X360: 500k
PS3: 500k

[BranDonk Kong]

1 million in France is impressive...I guess. They actually take a much bigger piece of the pie than I would have imagined.

It's really impressive, since total Wii sales = 360 + PS3 sales.

The most surprising thing to me, though, is that the PS3 is neck and neck with the 360 there.

[Kairon]

Yeah, Sony has a much stronger brand presence and reputation in Europe than Microsoft. Plus, I've heard that they're more sensitive to hardware reliability issues over there. But anyways, keep going Wii! You gotta catch up with the PS2!

OMG. That's not impressive. France's Hardware sales for November alone are impressive.

The numbers, as far as I can make out, are at about 2:40

I forgot all the French I stumbled through in High School, but I was still able to make out the PS3, Wii, and a little of the DS numbers, so I didn't need to completely rely on some stranger on NeoGAF for translation.

[BranDonk Kong]

Jesus. Did France win the Nintendo lottery or something? Maybe that's where Japan's missing units have been going.

[Chozo Ghost]

Maybe the Wii is so popular in France because Ubisoft is headquartered there, and as we all know Ubisoft has been the strongest 3rd party supporter of the Wii.

[BlackNMild2k1]

what is SMS LTD?

[Kairon]

In Japan? It should be right around where Galaxy is right there right now.

[Shorty McNostril]

Could someone please explain all this to the simple minded such as myself.  Famitsu is Japan.  I know that much.  So this media create, is this the US?

[ShyGuy]

Media Create is also Japan, just a different tracking company. NPD is America.

Yeah, I saw the videos Josh did on his Wii Folder website and the game looks better than I expected.

It looks to be very deep and fun to play, not to mention that it might actually work as an excersize (sp?) program!

I'm hoping to get it both for me and my mom. She need to be more active and hopefully this will make it for a fun family activity.

How should we feel about there being more games by Nintendo than by all other companies for like 2 years? Does this make Nintendo a Monopoly in Japan?  

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Not Nintendo's problem 3rd parties put games on failure platforms not interested in them.

[Ceric]

Professor Layton is up there twice.  The first one had such super long legs to make it through the whole developement cycle of the next one... Amazing.  I need to play that game eventually.  Is it out state side?

[vudu]

It comes out the same day as Brawl.  

EDIT:  Assuming Brawl's not delayed.
