Title: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on November 21, 2006, 12:12:59 AM: Not much to report just yet. However, the Wii seems to have completely sold out, so whatever it shipped is what it sold. According to this <a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=21226 (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=21226)">article, Reggie says Wii is on track to sell 1 million by early december. There's no reason to doubt that will be the case. <img src="http://img62.exs.cx/img62/7817/reggiehead.gif (http://img62.exs.cx/img62/7817/reggiehead.gif)" border="0"> Anyone care to do any speculating on future Wii sales? I predict it is going to outsell the PS3 until the PS3 comes down in price and becomes more readily available. After that, I have no idea what will happen.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on November 21, 2006, 12:47:25 AM: As stated b4, no one is sure of the accuracy of this, but it should give you a rough estimate of whats been sold/shipped so far.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on November 21, 2006, 03:01:28 AM: I read somewhere that Nintendo may have actually already sold 1 million consoles. Maybe the article was mistaken. Don't quote me on that, but they've obviously sold as many as they shipped, so whatever the shipping number is, the sales number is going to be exactly the same, give or take a couple here and there if there are some lame ass towns where the internet doesn't exist.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on November 21, 2006, 03:50:29 AM: If BNM's numbers are about right (they look decent to me), then:

87.1% for Microsoft
9.7% for Nintendo
3.2% for Sony

Not bad considering Nintendo has been on the market for three days. GameCube only has about 14% of the last-gen marketshare, and it had around 6% at the end of 2001. Wii could have over 25% by the end of the year.

What will be really interesting is seeing how Wii and PS3 are doing in a few months when the PS3 supply is fixed and the new game releases thin out. Xbox 360 will probably win for a couple of months there. I really hope Nintendo has a couple more games than it announced last week.

Quote
On the Playstation 3, GameStop found its top titles were Resistance and Madden, while on Wii, The Legend of Zelda and Red Steel were the top sellers. The Wii and PS3 achieved software/hardware tie ratios of 3.0 and 1.5 respectively.
I assume these numbers are just for GameStop/EB Games. My assumption is that the tie-in ratio of these stores is higher than that of stores like Wal-Mart and Best Buy, so it's probably lower in real life. However, it does at least give us something to talk about.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on November 21, 2006, 09:22:00 AM: Yeah, the PS3 tie-in is probably lower overall too, though. Wii is going strong...I can't wait until the Japanese and European launches...it could become the number 1 next-gen console in Japan in just one day.

Don't a lot of stores force bundles at launch though? That sort of thing could skewer the results. But then I imagine the PS3 would have that affecting it as well, unless WiiSports or VC titles are counted which I doubt.

Horray! Red Steel is selling strong. That meas Ubisoft will have a good return on their investment, and most likely continue making games for Wii! This also means its feasible that a Red Steel 2 will come out, giving them a chance to redeem themselves on the control front.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Flames_of_chaos on November 21, 2006, 12:01:35 PM: Well Ian I bought a Wii , Wii remote, Nunchuk and 6 games. And in Toys R us there were a lot of people who bought atleast 1 - 4 games at launch. So in a way cheaper system = more games sold. And a lot of 3rd parties will be happy with sales and Nintendo will be happy with all the profit from Wii, accessories, LOZ and 3rd party royalties they are going to rake in.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: segagamer12 on November 21, 2006, 12:08:16 PM: Games and accesories are hard as hell to find around here too so i thinkg everyting is selling good. I bought BDZ:BT2, a Wii card and a Classic OCntrooler then ran out of money, went back to town the next day and EVERY single Nunchuck is sold out EVERYWHERE!. Also found Shop-ko who was the BEST place to buy GC stuff SUCKS for Wii, they are five and ten dollars higher priced on everything.

I waited on Red Steel and it seams I may have to wait longer cuz it is selling out everywhere at every store here.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: SixthAngel on November 21, 2006, 02:20:40 PM: I think everything is selling great. A second shipment already hit my area and after calling 5 stores and them saying they were sold out I walked into walmart to grab the last one. The sellout continues despite the resupply and thats certainly a good thing. Games do seem low at most retailers as well.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KnowsNothing on November 21, 2006, 02:32:45 PM: I'm glad I picked up my games and controller while I could, even though I still have no Wii. Hopefully I'll have one soon ;__;
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BigJim on November 21, 2006, 03:30:23 PM: I think Nintendo said in NWR's podcast that there will be 1 million shipped by Thanksgiving. Don't know how accurate that above site's numbers are, but 1M will be the sales cap this week.

Then I guess roughly another 200K/week until the end of the year in North America = 2 million? That's a fast ramp up.

These figures came from GameStop/EB Games, which had no forced bundles except for online (which was a small percentage of total units available).
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on November 28, 2006, 02:50:20 AM: For the sake of posterity, Nintendo reported yesterday (Nov. 27th) that 600,000 units were sold in the first week.

Edit: Just looking over the nexgenwars thing BlackNMild posted and I started wondering how it works. It looks like they extrapolate sales and then have it update the numbers based on an average number of units sold per minute (or whatever). As of this post the program seems to be claiming the following approximate sales rates:

Xbox 360: 36-37 units per min.
PS3: 5-6 units per min.
Wii: 14-15 units per min.

It also encourages 3rd parties to offer Wii support.

If an unpolished launch title like Red Steel can still sell very well, it means that companies should have jumped on board long ago and they'll scramble to do so now.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on November 28, 2006, 06:33:05 AM: If Nintendo can keep just a 3 to 1 tie in Ratio then they'll be sitting ok. Considering everything makes them money.

Edit: On Nexgenwars 53% of the people picked Wii. I wonder if they are going for just the US or the World. If thats a case I expect a real spike in the number a week from now.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on November 28, 2006, 07:16:34 AM: The Nextgenwars numbers must be worldwide, as Xbox 360's total sales worldwide were 6 million about two months ago.

What's fun about that site is you get to see how far off they are when actual numbers are announced by Nintendo or the other companies.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Smash_Brother on November 28, 2006, 07:18:23 AM: The numbers for the Wii are only in the US. We haven't even seen the sales from Japan and Europe yet, but expect the Wii to be over a million in a week.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on November 28, 2006, 10:21:45 AM: Ah, but can we expect the Wii to be near 4 million by January 1? Or is 3 million a more likely estimate?

600,000 IS not too shabby a number, but Nintendo should hopefully iron out their supply issues to meet the demand while the hype is strong, and at least satisfy January and March's after-christmas non-gamer impressment rush. Interestingly enough, great non gamer games are coming out in Q1: Wii Play, Wario Ware, and Mario Party 8. If Nintendo really plans to build on nongamer and casual hype, then they need to supply for those months too.

Besides... we've got what? 5 weeks left till 2007? Even at the extravagant number of 200,000 units a week (WAY MORE than DS shipments), Nintendo will be at 1.6 mil for the Americas...

Of course, Nintendo may be doing a smart rollout strategy for this (i.e. holding back units to create artificial shortages and hype), in effect ensuring a steady, healthy weekly supply of wiis so as to make the hype a long, steady broil instead of a flash in the pan. Long, sustained supplies and hype are more beneficial for casual and non-gamers, whereas hardcore gamers are better suited for the BUYITNOWORELSENEVER demands of an all-at-once sellout.

Post by: willie1234 on November 28, 2006, 10:49:43 AM: it looks to me like 4 million will be hard to reach, probably more like 2.5 - 3 mill by end of year. Still not bad, and with all the non-gaming hype it looks like a strong entrance into 2007.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: 31 Flavas on December 02, 2006, 04:14:52 PM: They estimate. They take a look at the sales data and the company, if they're having production problems, etc... then guest a certain number of units sold per min. Then the computer just automatically adds X number of units a min. With the Wii system launch, i'm sure they just added 400,000 in by hand and maybe then doubled the number of units/min added.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: nitsu niflheim on December 03, 2006, 12:58:38 AM: I bet you Sony probably expected the Wii to flop right out the gate and their PS3 would have the highest numbers, running circles around Nintendo, even with Sony's supply not equalling demand.

Poor Sony!

Nintendo's Wii Game Console Sells Out On 1st Day

OSAKA (Nikkei)--Nintendo Co. (7974) rolled out its new video game console, the Wii, in Japan on Saturday, prompting thousands of enthusiasts to line up for hours in front of electronics stores across the nation before they opened. Nearly 400,000 machines were sold the first day, with many locations running out of stock by around noon.

Source:<requires login-in>

It is now official, Nintendo Wii is the #1 selling New/Next-gen console in Japan, this is a title that I am sure Nintendo will enjoy for the entire month of Dec. at the very least*. But more realistically, Wii will conmtinue to be #1 throughout 2007 if demand stays this healthy and PS3 supply remains low.

*(this title was previously held by Xbox360 throughout most of 2006 as it was the only next gen systemin Japan until the recently released PS3 which failed to outsell the 360 due to supply problems)
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on December 03, 2006, 11:27:08 AM: I think it's safe to say Nintendo has retaken the Japanese home console market. In Japan the winning console has always dominated over it's competition. And right now the Wii has already outsold the PS3 by 4X the amount, and has Zelda and Wario Ware which are both very popular. And in two weeks they'll be releasing Pokemon: Battle Revolution which will definatly be riding on the success that Diamond/Pearl have had. Plus in early 2007, Dragon Quest Swords, Fire Emblem and Mario Party 8 are scheduled to come out. All three titles are popular and should bring in great sales as well.

Even if Sony starts getting more shipments in they have no games that are going to make Japanese gamers go out in droves to buy it, while the Wii will have 6 titles that are very popular and plenty of third party games that should do well to.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BigJim on December 03, 2006, 11:40:30 AM: Safe? Yes, every 5 year battle was decided in a few weeks.

It's a healthy start by virtue of competent supply, but I won't be drawing any conclusions for at least a year.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: UncleBob on December 03, 2006, 11:56:11 AM: So, what's the Life-To-Date numbers for the 360 in Japan?
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Smash_Brother on December 03, 2006, 12:03:15 PM: The question comes down to when the Wii sales start to slow down. If they start to slow in Dec, then that's a bad sign.

Ideally, there should still be demand for the console through early January.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: 31 Flavas on December 03, 2006, 12:08:25 PM: From the official DS sales thread, xbox360 life-to-date in Japan is 174,016 for the week of Nov. 20th - 26th.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: UncleBob on December 03, 2006, 12:25:59 PM: So... Wii has sold 10 times as many units in, like 1/100th of the time then?

Well the DS vs PSP battle was pretty much decided in a few weeks in Japan. Even though there was those several weeks in early 2005 where the PSP was outselling the DS by a little bit, the DS gained such a huge lead in December of 2004 that those weeks meant nothing. And then when Nintendogs was released in April the DS took off and the battle was over.

Isn't there a Brain Training game that's supposed to come out sometime next year in Japan as well. I think if they were to release one within the first half it'd have the same results that Nintendogs did in pretty much sealing the deal.

Unless Square-Enix would suddenly come out and announce Dragon Quest IX is going to be released on the PS3 sometime next year, I think Japan will be pretty safe for Nintendo. Of course America and Europe are going to be were the real battle lies so I'm not making any predictions about those two places until after seeing the sales for all the console after holiday 2007, which will be the deciding factor on which console wins worldwide.

< 200K/year vs. 400K/day. I guess that'd makes it over twice as much in about 1/365th of the time, no? Maybe closer to 350. But that's not much of a surprise.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on December 03, 2006, 01:04:19 PM: If Nintendo some how slipped in a second day replenishment shipment of 40-60k more Wii's, its possible that the Wii could outsell the PS3 and the 360 combined in next weeks sales charts. I can't wait to see how this plays out on tuesday or wednesday.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on December 03, 2006, 01:10:20 PM: I wonder which game sold more in Japan, Zelda or Wario Ware. Or will this be like Mario 64 DS and Wario Ware Touched where they're both selling the same amount after launch.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: ryancoke on December 04, 2006, 02:59:51 AM: I think part of the reason why Wii is such a success in Japan is because the Japanese gamers have finally figured out that NO GUNDAM GAME HAS EVER BEEN ANY GOOD!!! For some reason the Japanese populace loves crappy Gundam games and I thought that alone would sell tons of PS3s. Then again, I could be wrong. We'll have to see how both systems are doing in 6m when they are both readily available in stores.

Square's comment about "We're supporting all consoles." is their way of saying, "Sony, we're breaking up the act."

The Wii has already won this generation, hands the f*ck down.

Know how we know this?

1. Mass-market appeal: the NY Times is oozing over it, Steven Colbert played it on his show and it's already generating the kind of buzz in sectors that no console has ever cracked.

2. The Japanese are eating it up: they ate up the DS because they love newfangled stuff like this. They LOVE IT! Japanese PS3s were selling at retail price WITH two games on ebay less than a week after the launch. If the PS3 can't even produce enough units to establish a userbase, then Nintendo is the DEFAULT choice for Japanese developers.

3. Money TALKS: the Wii is ultra-cheap and and ultra-cheap to develop for. Because it's so cheap, people buy more games with it, resulting in higher 3rd party revenue. Because it's so cheap to develop for, devs can make more profit off of selling fewer games, meaning the console isn't a GAMBLE to develop for and that we're likely to see new and better franchises popping up, plus they know that the console is cheap enough that people will consider picking up multiple games with it and not just Zelda. It's a win-win for gamers and devs alike.

4. What's their competition? A shoddy Japanese company spiraling into oblivion (which was delayed for their console, ironically) and an American software monopoly who caters so hard to a specific type of gamer that it's like an exclusive club and it's also hated in Japan where in a year it's only sold 170,000 consoles, the DSLite selling more in a week than the 360 has in a year. How are either of these going to stop Nintendo with the steam it already has built?

Like I've been saying since E3: Game. Set. Match. Nintendo.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Spak-Spang on December 04, 2006, 03:42:52 AM: I think the reason Wii is selling well, is people are searching for something different.

Gamers have been playing the same games in the same methods for years, and I don't think they want traditional games to disappear, but they do want to try something different. The Wii opens up new realms of possibilities for gaming.

Everyone else is just amazed by this bizzarre new product. It has been everyone, and people are being told it is THE next big thing. And look at it. Wii Sports has seriously captivated the entire media. Wii Sports and Excite Truck may not be the most polished games, but they are perfect Wii games, that literally challenge everyones concept of gaming.

The question is how long will this honeymoon with the media last? And does that matter? After the holiday season, Nintendo will be releasing games to hype up gamers, and to give those non gamers something to excite their purchase as well.

Nintendo just needs to keep big audience attracting games coming out for the entire first year to be a success...and it looks like Nintendo will be doing just that.

Mario, Metroid, Smash Brothers, Brain Training, Wario Ware, Fire Emblem, Mario Party, Pokemon

All these games have the ability to draw new audiences to the Wii, and different audiences as well.

Holiday season 2007, I think it would be important for Nintendo to release another Wii Sports game or sequel.

Be it Wii Motor Sports, or a direct Wii Sports Sequel with fleshed out game modes for Tennis, Bowling, Baseball, Golf, Boxing...and add new Sports experiences to the package as well.

Finally, a Wii update enhancing the Mii experience would be a huge boon for sales as well, specially if it came around the time that a few new games are released that use the Miis within the game.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: trip1eX on December 04, 2006, 03:49:12 AM: Yep that's why I enjoy the Wii. Something new and different. That's why I always thought it would do well.

Alot of folks dismiss WiiSports as only for non-gamers, but it's exactly the sort of game this gamer wanted. It's something fresh and new and fun.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Smash_Brother on December 04, 2006, 04:50:21 AM: Before the Wii, I was just about ready to give up on gaming for good.

The DS is nice and all, but a handheld can only ever do so much to entertain me when I'm not traveling.

Quoted for general agreement. I won't be 100% confident of Nintendo's victory until it gets a year or so under its belt, but barring some really unexpected changes in the next year, I think Nintendo is set to win.

I have to say I think Microsoft understands the limited appeal of the Xbox 360 lineup, but it doesn't quite seem to know how to fix it. Moneyhats for third parties to develop games like Blue Dragon are a start - but it's an expensive way to change things, and not all that effective either - it takes more than one or two games. Maybe if Microsoft is really lucky and its Japanese division works very hard, some third parties will look into 360 if the PS3 keeps failing.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Smash_Brother on December 04, 2006, 05:19:25 AM: I think it's the Japanese xenophobia which is really killing the 360 in Japan, mostly because the console is designed from the ground up to cater to the hardcore American gamer.

But yeah, if Nintendo somehow manages to lose this generation, it would have to involve a 180 degree turnaround by Sony and for Nintendo itself to just start royally botching everything, and I like to think that Nintendo already had their chance to botch sh*t with the DS and didn't do it whereas Sony did with the PSP and that miraculous turnaround hasn't happened yet.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on December 04, 2006, 05:42:25 AM: Yeah, I really don't get what Sony's doing with PSP. It should have been clear by the end of last year that the system was in trouble, but there doesn't seem to be any plan in place to fix it. Maybe Sony was just too distracted by PS3.

Of course, it's possible that there is no helping PSP. I've heard it argued that the system is now doomed to failure because Nintendo has successfully disrupted the market. Is it possible that Sony believes that?

I think Sony takes PS3 more seriously, but it's just had so many problems, and again, if Nintendo has successfully disrupted the market, it may be impossible for Sony to turn things around this generation. Same thing for Microsoft.

Maybe if Microsoft is really lucky and its Japanese division works very hard, some third parties will look into 360 if the PS3 keeps failing.

Reminds me a lot of the problems Nintendo had with general third party support.

Post by: Hocotate on December 04, 2006, 05:43:56 AM: I agree.

The system is already released and hasn't had any reports of a large number of defective units or anything. The system is selling well in both Japan and the US (outselling PS3). I'd say this late in the game it would be hard for Nintendo to do much botching. Like Smash_Brother said, Nintendo really is the default winner here.

You can see that the Japanese gamers love the Nintendo 1st party titles first and foremost instead of the 3rd parties.

However, how many launch titles were there total? I'm stunned as all f*ck to see Red Steel come in at #8 because I figured: foreign developer + Japan's usual dislike of FPSs = Red Steel is a shoe-OUT for Japan...

Yeah, it's like they didn't even TRY to save the thing. This would be the first Sony system which they basically let dwindle and die. Though, even that's debatable because it seems like they tried with GTA and trying to get some Square games on the system.

The FFVII spinoff (Crisis Core, I believe) is the last hail mary the PSP has but I don't think that even that will be able to save the system.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on December 04, 2006, 06:18:12 AM: You know, I don't know if this is true or not, but I thought since Red Steel doesn't play that much like a normal FPS (I've heard it compared to more of a shooting gallery) it might be bigger in Japan than usual. The fact that it controls "worse" than a normal FPS might not be a negative point to them since they don't like normal FPS controls.

Checking at IGN, PSP still seems to have plenty of new games coming out, but they just aren't that interesting. It's mainly ports and sequels.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Smash_Brother on December 04, 2006, 07:22:28 AM: I'll be curious to see the sales figures for RS, both here and in Japan.

I'm curious about it because it's an unpolished launch title which is probably the most ambitious game on the Wii yet and represents the first new 3rd party franchise to be on the console.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: segagamer12 on December 04, 2006, 07:39:05 AM: Its still a good game. I caved in and got it and my PSfanboy hate nintendo friends already love it. They liekd Wii Sports but Rs was what got them really hooked. He is still getting a Ps3 as sson as he can find one, but I think he will swicth up after a year. Maybe he still ahs PSp and stil maintains its better than DS and wotn even try DS.

I was very optimistic Wii would do good, I never doubted that, what worried me was that teh controlelr woud,nt work for the types of games I like, but I like FPS games and RS works good, and I like fighting games and DBZ:BT2 proves thast doable. so I just wait for the games to keep coming. Still waiting for the RPGs also. NOT FFCC but real RPGS.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Smash_Brother on December 04, 2006, 08:09:06 AM: That's one of the reasons I like Red Steel: it's clearly NOT a Nintendo game and many people were probably willing to get a Wii because of that reason alone.

You have to figure that your average PS fanboy is used to years and years of crap games that sell by offering a bit of violence. Unpolished as it is, Red Steel can still impress them because the glitches probably go unnoticed. It's only the Nintendo fans who demand that their games have a certain level of polish.

The same people who buy Madden every year will no doubt be drawn in by Red Steel's aiming system and swordfighting, a type of violence which has yet to be explored on any console to the extent that the Wii can offer it.

I've never heard of that one. Actually I've never heard of any Gundam game before the PS2. So maybe it's just the PS2 that has all the stinkers. What system was that for? I looks a little primative for PS1 so i'm guessing super famicom??

Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: UniversalJuan on December 04, 2006, 09:43:49 AM: Only if you decide to really cheese it up/suck. Character balance in virtually any fighting game is warped (Smash Bros is included in this sadly, but it's more balanced than unbalance but unbalance is there). Endless Duel is still a fun time to be had overall I believe, and proof that Gundam games don't have to suck.

Oh, and it was a SNES/Super Famicom title.

Post by: Luigi Dude on December 04, 2006, 10:39:47 AM: I agree, I played the game on an emulater a few years ago and it was pretty good. Of course playing the game on the keyboard was a nightmare and it became impossible to beat the later opponets but if I was to play it on a console with an SNES controller things would have gone much better.

Actually even to this day Gundam Wing: Endless Duel and Dragon Ball Z: Hyper Dimension are still probobly the best anime based fighting games ever made.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on December 05, 2006, 03:56:08 AM: Yes, too bad the third party sales aren't better.

Wii Play probably got a boost from coming with a remote. I don't remember the exact price, but I think it was a good deal for anyone who wanted a second controller. Even so, nice numbers.

The hardware numbers are a little lower than I thought, can anyone confirm that Japan got 400,000 units? Hopefully they sell out by the end of the week.

November 2006 Video Game Sales Preview: Expect 12% Sales Growth

We expect November U.S. retail video game console software sales data to be released after market close on Thursday, December 7. We forecast sales of $785 million, up 12% compared to last year.

Due to relatively light supply of next generation PS3 and Wii consoles, we do not expect next generation software sales to be greater than current generation sales in November or December.

We expect November sales to be driven by new releases Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii), Square Enix’s Final Fantasy XII (PS2), Microsoft’s Gears of War (360), Take-Two’s GTA: Vice City Stories (PSP), Electronic Arts’ Need for Speed Carbon (360, PS2, Xbox, PC, PSP, GBA, DS, GC, PS3, Wii), Activision’s Call of Duty 3 (PS2, 360, PS3, Xbox, Wii) and Guitar Hero II (PS2), and THQ’s WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007 (PS2, 360), along with a slew of launch title games for the PS3 and Wii. We note that 13 games sold over 100,000 units in October, and we expect 23 in November (compared to 21 last year).
Resistance PS3 is nowhere to found I told you PS3 didn't really have a HYPED-UP title to buy for the system like Zelda for Wii or GoW for 360.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on December 05, 2006, 05:13:44 AM: Actually, that's an interesting point (don't know if it was serious or not) - Sony really didn't hype Resistance very much.

That said, Sony also didn't sell enough systems. Zelda sold almost 1:1, but I think that's pretty unusual for a system with a decent number of launch games.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on December 05, 2006, 03:22:51 PM: According to 3rd party PS3 developers, they have to sell 500,000 games just to break even. Which means EVERY company that made a PS3 game is going to lose a LOT of money this year. There's no way Sony can sell much more than 500,000 systems total by the end of the year, if that, and the software tie-in is barely 1:2, everyone is totally screwed. Look for the PS3 to be dead within 2 years. Even Sony's losing hundreds for every system they sell - it's lose-lose for everyone involved, except for the eBayers.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlkPaladin on December 05, 2006, 03:57:28 PM: No what is bad is that most titles only sell on average 350k-500k units so at best a company would break even making games for the PS3 if they are not a big company that can hurt.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: zakkiel on December 05, 2006, 04:08:16 PM: I'm far from prepared to forecast complete doom for the PS3. Blu-Ray is still a huge unknown quantity here, and launch games aren't going to stop selling just because the launch window closes. Plus, the PS brand is strong enough that there's still massive demand for the system, bad pricing, horrible marketing, lack of games, and all. But I can't see any way Sony won't lose a lot of marketshare this generation.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on December 05, 2006, 04:28:49 PM: The drop in eBay prices shows that the demand is nearly as high as it was before the system was released. Also, demand doesn't do any good when there's no supply.

Wait, is or isn't? Anyway, eBay is such a small micro example that it doesn't really hold any water in terms of general demand or opinion. Still, interesting to note that regardless though.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on December 06, 2006, 02:04:37 AM: There's been about 20,000 PS3s sold on eBay, that's about 8-9% of the total US sales.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on December 06, 2006, 03:08:18 AM: I think PS3 would have to tank really hard for Sony to dump it. The system is too much a part of Sony's Blu-ray plans, not to mention Playstation itself has been Sony's biggest brand over the past decade. I don't think Sony will give either of those up in just two years.

I could see PS3 being Sony's last console, though, and I could definitely see it being killed off early in order to bring PS4 to market sooner. Like zakkiel said, the one thing that's for certain is Sony will lose marketshare this generation.

I think overall Sony was in a better position before the Playstation then afterwards. As a whole.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on December 07, 2006, 03:49:34 AM: Definitely as a whole Sony was better off back in the day. I was reading over some articles about Playstation 2 and I was surprised to find it has had its share of financial problems. Most notably when the Yen became strong in 2003, it hit Sony quite hard (Nintendo too, actually) and also around launch time Sony had a lot of problems. I recall the original Playstation was quoted as being responsible for nearly 1/3 of Sony's profit at its peak. I imagine PS2 has also been profitable, but you may be right, Sony may already be experiencing a decline in the video game market.

That said, Sony's had even more trouble in other electronics markets. IPod nearly obliterated Sony's portable music market and Samsung has apparently taken a lot of Sony's TV market. I think the electronics industry in general has seen a lot of change in the past few years as digital cameras, portable DVD players, Cell phones and handheld computers all allowed relative unknowns to make a mark.

I still don't see Sony dumping PS3 very easily, but I suppose it could happen. It would require a sudden shift in Sony's overall business strategy, I'd say.

Post by: couchmonkey on December 07, 2006, 04:52:57 AM: Sometimes bozos are such bozos they don't even know or care what's going on! I know one guy who traded an old (but still good) TV for an Xbox 360 a year ago and he still hasn't even played it.

Post by: Amodaus1 on December 07, 2006, 01:18:50 PM: Its been a long while, but I honestly believe that nintendo is in a good position to restore some of its market share and regain some 3rd party support.

The ps2 is still dominating all consoles, but i'm 100% sure if the wii had more units it would have surpased the ps2's sales. The 360 looks like it sold like crap. 500K in november WITH your killer app released in the same month. Thats weak. Although gears took number 1 in software, it did so in it's first 2 weeks, that means it probably won't be moving anymore 360's.

Anyone know if the 360 has ever managed to overtake the ps2?
And seriously, the ps2 and gba are monsters, they must have hit well over the saturation point, but god damn are they still selling like mad.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on December 07, 2006, 01:24:58 PM: I'm pretty sure the NPD numbers are wrong, especially since Wal-Mart is not included. I believe Nintendo when they say they sold 660,000+ systems in the 1st week.

Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Amodaus1 on December 07, 2006, 01:27:14 PM: I think they sold +600K after they resupplied, i think the initial batch was less then 600K

Either way NPD "estimates" for all non-covered data, this includes on-line stores and wal-mart
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Artimus on December 07, 2006, 02:36:59 PM: They sold 600K in North America, NPD just covers the US. So you figure 475,000 in the US means probably 100,00 in Canada and 25,000 in Mexico (or 75/50). Sounds reasonable to me. And don't forget they only count full weeks, so this just covers the Wii's first 7 days.

They also had an average attach rate of 2 (rounded of course) which is amazing since WiiSports comes with it (not included in the attach rate).

Post by: IceCold on December 07, 2006, 03:42:49 PM: NPD extrapolates to get their figures..

Wow, the DS is a monster.. I would have given up on the North American market if Mario and the DS Lite didn't affect sales much, but since May North America has finally caught on to the phenomenon.

The tie-in ratio is just amazing.. Sony should really worry about this - as the PSP has shown them, software sales are horrible if you put the focus on multimedia. Zelda at 86% with so many other titles available? That's crazy..

And yeah, the 360 sales are dismal, and way below expected sales. Even though Gears of War sold well, it shows that most of target market of those sorts of games has already bought a 360. Microsoft needs to find a way to expand their market.

no it isn't, that it's called "Central America" and not "north America" as well

mind you that the 600000+ figure that Nintendo mentioned was for ALL America (yeah, including Central and South America), so the the fact that there are 125000+ "missing" from the US numbers sounds about right....

Post by: WuTangTurtle on December 07, 2006, 04:10:11 PM: I think Microsoft may see a little extra growth after the holidays, I know a lot of peopl that have been waiting for atleast a handful of games for the 360 before buying it. I think some of those people will buckle under the pressure of Gears of War, Dead Rising, Rainbow Six: Vegas, Oblivion, and Fight Night.

(Note: all said games tend to fit a certain demographic, and won't expand their market.)

However I do agree If Microsoft doesn't do something soon their market will never really grow much at all. If Microsoft employee's keep saying how much they love Nintendo and hate Sony maybe they should steal a page or two from Nintendo and come out with a game that is unique and unexpected. Blue Dragon in Japan was a good attempt but we haven't seen how that has worked out yet.

PS2 and Gameboy numbers are insane. Sony should have just milked the PS2 for another year or three. Gameboy could last another year in the US at this rate.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: UncleBob on December 08, 2006, 01:02:00 AM: As per the GameBoy numbers - remember, both Toys R Us and Wal*Mart had those cheap-ass Game Boy Micros for $35-$40. This would help account for why they were so large.

However, GameBoy Advanc e SPs are still selling quite well, despite my efforts to talk everyone into getting DSLites.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on December 08, 2006, 02:48:13 AM: I think Blue Dragon may make a small difference in North America. It's obviously designed to appeal to the traditional Japanese RPG set, and Rare is finally starting to offer some less "mature" titles for the system too.

I'm not going to predict any big changes for Microsoft, but with PS3 charging way more for similar gaming capabilities and PS2 languishing, games like these might attract a few Sony fans to the 360 next year. As someone who doesn't fit Microsoft's target demographic at all, I'm already finding Xbox 360 a little more interesting than Xbox, and I'm a lot more interested in it than PS3. (I'd still buy a PS2 before either of these systems, though).

Edit: And let's not forget the post-launch drought effect. Sony's lineup is going to continue looking like poo for months and Nintendo's looks weak too (though third parties have yet to announce games for next year). 360, meanwhile, should have a good amount of software all the way through next year.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Artimus on December 08, 2006, 06:32:53 AM: I think the GameCube in the US proved that the occasional genre game isn't enough to attract a new crowd. This applying to Blue Dragon in Japan.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on December 08, 2006, 08:06:47 AM: From the information and posts in this neogaf NPD thread I'm thinking our best guesses for Wii Software sales are the following:

Zelda: TP ......................... ~412k (NPD sourced)
Red Steel ......................... ~107k (unknown source)
Super Monkey Ball .............. 50k < ~ x < 107k (guess) (let's assume 70k for no reason whatsoever) (confirmed third though by Gamespot)
Rayman: RR .................... ~ 50k (guess)
CoD 3 ............................. ~ 48k (NPD sourced)
Madden '07 ..................... ~ 45k (unknown source)

Total Guesses: ................ ~ 732k (VERY INACCURATE BY NOW)

Using NPD's tie-ratio of 2.1 and NPD's hardware numbers of 476k for the USA......

Total Wii Software Guess: ~ 999.6k (VERY INACCURATE BY NOW)

Sales left for the Wii's other launch titles, including Trauma Center, DBZ BT2, Excite Truck, TH: DJ, and others:
......................................... ~ 267.6k (EXTREMELY INACCURATE BY NOW)

Anyone else gathered enough information to guess or seen educated guesses from others?

Well, if Jimmy and Bobby want to play multiplayer GBA games together, they can't use a DS. Also, money speaks... $50 less is a big difference to the parents if even if their kids only want to play single player GBA games. Since if they want DS games eventually, or badly enough, they can just work for one doing their paper routes, mow lawns, or just be good kids and get straight A's.

If they want a GBA I wouldn't try to push a DS on them. A GBA sale does not mean a lost DS sale, just a delayed one, and with nearly 1 million DS sales in November you don't have to worry about the DS not selling well.

Quote
Sales of Wii software were quite strong, despite being released in the latter half of the month.
...
Sales of third-party games on the Wii were surprisingly solid for the month, which will hopefully bode well for the future of third-party support on the console.

And their list of the top 10 Wii titles in terms of sales:
Quote
1. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
2. Red Steel
3. Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz
4. Rayman Raving Rabbids
5. Call of Duty 3
6. Madden NFL 07
7. Trauma Center Second Opinion
8. Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
9. Excite Truck
10. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2

Post by: Louieturkey on December 09, 2006, 05:15:41 AM: It's because everyone wanted Zelda and Red Steel first. I see Excite Truck selling better in December and beyond. Or it just might be too simplistic for people to think it's worth $50. Maybe at $30 people could justify buying it.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on December 09, 2006, 06:56:12 PM: I was also thinking about picking up Red Steel and DBZ, but was having second thoughts about DBZ. Does it really hold it weight as a fighter & do the fighting mechanics work or are they kinda awkward like some of the previous ones?
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on December 09, 2006, 07:23:20 PM: I haven't played it but from what I've heard the fighting engine is pretty mediocre. But if you and your friends are DBZ fans it's supposed to be pretty fun for parties. So the only reason I see for anyone to buy it would be if they're a huge DBZ fan, and even then, wait until the price drops.

Games like this aren't worth buying at full price unless they actually have a good fighting engine to go with it.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Hocotate on December 09, 2006, 09:20:29 PM: I did not enjoy the Budokai games so much, but Sparking Neo (or BT2 in US) is great fun. The fighting engine feels very fresh and pretty deep to me (10x better than the previous games). Seeing the screenshots, I wasn't expecting much but man was I sure in for a surprise! The Wiimote setup works wonders with the game (you can use a classic or GCN controller, but after using the Wiimote the old method feels very dated). I play fighting games alot so this was a very nice change of pace for me (a breath of fresh air). I'd say this is the best DBZ fighting game since Hyer Dimension on the SNES.

It took me some time getting used to it, but doing the motions of the Kamehameha or Genki Dama and seeing the super connect on screen is very fun!

This was also the first time I had to go into a training mode and learn how to play before being able to defeat the beginning computer players. Everything about this game feels different from what I have become accustomed to in conventional 2D and even 3D fighters. I'm enjoying it, and I feel many others would too, but I think the anime franchise scares many away because of the general belief that all movie/anime franchise games are poorly designed (which in most cases is probably true, but thats not the case with DBZ:BT2 imo).

After reading several reviews I decided to pick DBZ up and I'm not disappointed. The game is fun and it as the best single player experience in a fighting game that I can recall. The whole DBZ and blech...DBGT storyline is pretty much crammed into the single player mode. The game even has the story for a lot of the movies in it as well. Plus there are a few alternate scenarios. They don't go real in depth with those but they are a nice touch. I do wish they would have called Hercule by his REAL name though. If they didn't want to call him Mr. Satan. The could have at least gave his named the scramble treatment like Videl (Devil). I rather him be called Mr. Natas, Mr. Sanat or Mr. Tanas etc. than Hercule....bah. I also did the attribute customization and the fighting system captures the feel of the series. The standard controls are easier to grasp but the Wii-mote controls are Much more enjoyable.

Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: segagamer12 on December 11, 2006, 06:12:40 AM: DBZ:BT2 was the first game I got and it has been all I need. I got red steel but havent put much time into due ot BDZ. ITS PERFECT. I am a HUGE fighting game fan and I ws SO worried this genre would turnout lame on Wii but I am so convinced now that fighting games will be MORE fun on Wii than even arcades.

Like has been mentioned you get the ENTIRE story, and a pretty good control sceme. It plays very well. My only complaint is when using Classic Controller or GC controller the bottons are backwards, tehy went iwth the regular controll set up for that and the screan will say Press A but in stead you press Y.

Other than that the game is cool. You get plenty of control options but the Wii remtoe and Nunchuk are definatley the way to go.

My next game to get for Wii is goignt o be Rampage and then either COD3 or Splinter Cell.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on December 11, 2006, 12:39:26 PM: So DBZ:BT2 does contain the original Japanese voice work. Well this game is a definate buy for me now, of course I'm still going to wait for a price drop.

I personally can't stand Goku or Gohan's Japanese Voice Acting. Its obvious that they are voiced by women.

I think it depends on what was the first voice people heard Goku with. I notice alot of people who first saw DBZ through the dub where Goku had a manly voice can't stand his original Japanese voice. But for people like me who heard Goku's original voice before ever seeing the dub, Masako Nozawa IS Goku. She's done his voice from the very begining back when Dragon Ball first air back in 1986 and has matched Goku and his personality perfectly.

To listen to Goku without her voice to me would be like listening to Homer without Dan Castellaneta voicing him, it just doesn't sound right.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on December 12, 2006, 04:43:56 AM: Wii = fastest selling home console in UK ever
Quote
Last week, Nintendo announced that consumers snapped up 50,000 Wii units within 12 hours of the console going on sale.

The tills continued to ring over the next two days, making the Wii the first console to sell more than 100,000 units during its opening weekend.

Of the 14 software titles launching with the Wii, six made it into the all-formats top 40 - including Zelda, which debuted at number 5. Other popular titles included Wii Play and Ubisoft's Red Steel.
It was also a great week for Nintendo's handheld, with around 110,000 DS units sold, and 14 games in the top 40.

So basically Wii sold 105k in its opening weekend and between the Wii & DS Nintendo has 20 of the UK Top 40 sofware titles.

and just for comparison sake, Wii sales in one weekend = about 10% GC LTD sales in the UK

Thats not the case with me. I just plain don't like male characters sounding like women. Well, if its for comedic effect its fine but I find it grating otherwise. Seriously can't stand the sucked on helium voice Goku has in the Japanese voice tracks. I didn't even like how high pitched Goku's voice was in the Ocean original English dub of season one. It didn't bother me with Gohan until the Buu Saga.

Of course DBZ got less enjoyable to me as it went through each saga. My two favorite characters are Piccolo and Ten Shin Han. Ten Shin Han is pretty much worthless from the beginning of DBZ and Piccolo's last hurrah was during the Cell Saga. Not to mention the fact that Gohan's character seemed to get the shaft after the Cell Saga. I seriously think Toriyama altered his out come for DBZ because of the Japanese hatred of Gohan. I know he originally intended to end DBZ with the Goku vs. Frieza battle but continued to produce the manga because of the rabid fan base. In DBZ it seems that Toriyama was slowly trying to hand off the reigns from Goku to Gohan over time but he seemed to bend to the will of the fans but that is another topic completely. Jeez sorry for the rant guys.

Okay something Wii related. In Europe DBZ: BT2 is getting 6 new characters and 1 new background. Also 105,000 Wii's were sold in the UK.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Hocotate on December 12, 2006, 08:46:05 PM: DBZ:BT2 has become my most played Wii game! I'm putting roughly 5 hours a day on this game and before this I would only spend 30min-1hr on average. You don't even have to be a DBZ fan to enjoy this game, best fighting game I've played in a loooong time (definately the best 3D fighting game I've EVER played). Apparently the UK ver will get six(?) new characters not found in the US ver... (not sure about JP).

edit just saw Darc Requiem's last sentence (he beat me to it).
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Strell on December 12, 2006, 09:03:25 PM: All I want to say re: voices in DBZ is that the first original American cast was absolute perfection in my humble opinion, and their legacy is destroyed by the second cast that took over when it failed to be a hit pre-Cartoon Network days. I reco'nize I am probably in the minority here, but every voice was so distinctive and had TONS of inflection, with remarkable one-liners in a cheesy "you HAVE to love it, it's so bad" sort of way. From Tien's "This cowboy's goin' for one last ride!" to Goku's "Whooooaaaa beans give me problems!" I seriously think it is one of the best works by an American cast for an anime in a long, long time.

That said, boo-urns to UK getting more stuff in their version. I was going to pick up it up, but it seems like I might as well wait until I can either find it used or for what is probably an inevitable sequel.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Hocotate on December 12, 2006, 09:09:33 PM: I'm with you 100% on this Strell. The Pioneer dub of DBZ was perfect, it wasn't until Funimation took over that they got Chris Sabbat (however you spell his name) and he pretty much single handedly ruined the dub DB (he did Vegeta, Piccolo, and pretty much everyone else's voice...along with casting the rest of the voice actors I am told. The man is probably the worst dub I've heard in an anime... he botches Vegeta so badly >< ).
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Strell on December 12, 2006, 09:35:57 PM: It was so disheartening to be back in high school when I finally found out new episodes of DBZ were going to air. My friends and I, for the period it wasn't on CN (which I guess was about a two year span) would religiously wake up at about 6 AM on Saturday (or just not go to sleep altogether) in order to watch our new episode of DBZ, which was (at the time) only shown once a week. At 6 you got a re-run from the previous week, and at 6:30 you got a new episode. There's a chance it was 6:30/7:00 respectively, but it doesn't really matter. Point is that it came on EARLY and ONCE A WEEK, and if you wanted to see how something was goin' down, it took some dedication.

So when CN gets the episodes and announces new ones, I was giddy with excitement. Then the new episode airs - it was during the Frieza saga, and was immediately after Goku beat Racoome, when Jace and (purple dude) start attacking Goku, and the voices were SO TERRIBLE. And the music was SO TERRIBLE.

None of it compared to the first run, where they took so much time and effort to deliver an excellent voice recording and wonderfully addictive music. I didn't mind the editting so much - there were massive lengths taken to get rid of blood, mature ways for people to die, Vegeta always saying "I'm sending you to the next dimension" instead of "I'm killing you," etc etc etc - simply because the presentation and delivery was executed perfectly, with impeccable attention to detail.

After a while I resolved myself to simply watch the new episodes and sort of "get over" the new voices, and after a while I almost did, but I seriously give thought to how it would have turned out if the original crew stayed in control. They even went as far as to edit out some of the nonsense that DBZ is so full of, boiling down the story to a slightly-more palatable/more consumable morsel, instead of the random assortments of crap I tended to see when the second crew re-dubbed the first couple of seasons.

But yea, it was a total shock/disappointment. I was just CRINGING when I watched that first episode, and had to call my friend immediately and bitch about "OMFG THEY CHANGED THE VOICES???" Which was something I had feared when they ran commercials, because they sounded a bit different....

I mean, Goku's new voice worked for the most part, and occassionally the other characters actually had....character in them, but they simple cannot compare. You do not compare to Brian Drummond as Vegeta. There's really no other way to express it.

And yea, Hocotate, that was the impression I got from the new cast - "Wtf, are there like 2 people voicing EVERYONE now?"

Anyway, yea, something that hits me a more personal note than most other things, and I realize it is so simple and stupid that I shouldn't care, but it was a travesty and absolutely a kick in the guts.

I sometimes fantasize about the episodes all being with the original cast. If that were the case, they'd be sitting on my DVD shelf right now. DBZ is the perfect slice of anime cheese for me, and when you had such incredibly sharp writing and voices as the original cast, I can't imagine anyone looking for a bit of mindless fun not enjoying the show.

Anyway, yea, enough off-topic ranting for me. It's good to know some other people out there enjoy the original cast. I almost threw up when I saw a review on Amazon.com from some punk kid saying re: the original DVDs "don't get these, they suck, cuz there's no blood in them and you don't want people like Krillin saying gosh goku this sure is hard to do!" Stupid kids. Can't understand how amazing the original cast was...

As the must-have product for the festive season Wii was an instant hit. Attracting vast crowds and selling out in stores all over Europe in just a matter of hours, a breathtaking 325,000 units were sold in the first two days making it the fastest selling home console in history.

Demand for Wii has been so great that shops all over Europe had large queues forming outside for up to three days before the launch and hundreds of shops opened their doors at midnight on launch day to allow gamers to get their hands on Wii. After just one weekend on sale, shops across Europe sold out of Wii consoles and daily shipments are now arriving across Europe to replenish stock.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess proved to be a favourite for avid gamers, with 240,000 copies snapped up over launch weekend in Europe, representing 74% of all hardware purchasers. Wii Play was also a big hit with over 50% of people buying the game (which includes a Wii Remote) along with their Wii console.

~

Wii mania in Europe follows the phenomenal success of Nintendo’s console in the Americas and Japan, where over a million units have been sold in just three weeks. In the Americas, where the console launched on the 19th of November, 600,000 consoles were sold in the first 8 days from launch. The Japanese launch saw similar success with around 400,000 units being shipped to stores for launch day and selling out during the first morning on sale. After just a few days of sales in Europe the Wii seems to be achieving similar success.

While Wii enjoyed a hugely successful launch, Nintendo DS also had a record-breaking week with 515,000 units sold across Europe last week, which is not only the highest week's sales since the console’s launch but also the most any console across all formats has ever sold in a week! Nintendo’s handheld phenomenon has taken Europe by storm since its release in March 2005, with over 8.5 million consoles now sold across Europe.

Well it looks like Nintendo can do no wrong right now(except not make enough of these damn Wii's), I wonder how many developers are scrambling to get software ready for Wii now that its about to take off. Looks like Nintendo is well on its way to taking its throne as the king of gaming.

and for those that are wondering, this put Wiiat about 1.3 Million for WW launch #'s and if shipments keep up easisly at 2.5 Million WW before the end of December. Thats around a 3rd of Xbox 360 WW #'s in less than a month.

This also puts DS at a whopping 30+ Million sold WW, and people wonder why SE is putting DQIX on the DS.... it wouldn't make sense to put it anywhere else. The DS is moving on to be not only the fastest selling gaming "console" of all time, but the one with the highest overall installed base too.

edit: Zelda: TP is now offically at more than 1 Million sold WW too.

However, I didn't expect those 4 million to get snapped up as fast as Nintendo could release them, I just figured they'd sell at a reasonable pace. Now it seems like they actually would sell as fast as Nintendo can release them.

Post by: odifiend on December 13, 2006, 10:35:20 AM: If Nintendo is unlike Sony in that they count actual sales instead of ship units, current sales figures might be deflated. Still Wii-less (), I'm asking a lot of questions at local retails. I keep getting told similar stories once we get past the "No one knows when we'll get more." I keep hearing that retailers get shipments weekly but several plan to do advertised relaunches before xmas. It might be that an accurate picture of the Nintendo's demand (and competence, for those questioning) will be available after the 25th.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Spak-Spang on December 13, 2006, 11:27:11 AM: I actually expected Nintendo Wii to do this good and better. I predict 2007 will be the year of the Wii and Nintendo, and it will sell extremely well. But I believe either late 2007 or early to mid 2008 Wii sales will start to drop significantly as the PS3 and Xbox 360 begin to really push their upper limits of graphical power.

Then I unfortunately predict a steady decline for Nintendo. The Wii will have been a huge success probably doubling the Gamecube sales in just one year, and 3rd parties will continue to make games for the system, but it just won't be as steady of sales for Wii for the rest of its lifecycle.

I hope I am wrong...but that is my realistic prediction.

As for all this Dragon Ball Z talk. I hate the show. It takes way too long to tell a single story...with a single fight taking 5-10 episodes (slight exaggeration) and the english voices and narrator is annoying and obnixious.

However, I really want to try this Dragon Ball Z game out. Is it good with the Wii controller? better with the classic?

And after you answer this question...please let this thread go back to Sales.

Post by: SixthAngel on December 13, 2006, 11:58:58 AM: If the current graphics in games like gears of war don't stop people from buying Wii I doubt the slight upgrade in the future will. I see all kinds of sites predicting that Wii will start to be over taken because of graphics in the future and I think it is bullcrap. If the graphics aren't stopping people now I certainly don't think it will in the future. Besides both Wii graphics and motion control will be improved as well. I think this prediction is just a slightly more cautious version of everyone who said the DS would fail.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlkPaladin on December 13, 2006, 12:36:40 PM: I watched the entire series of Z, and I basically lost interest after the Friesa Saga. When you have a fight that 30 episodes long with 10 of them flash backs. (A little exageration but the combined Friesa fight did take about 30 episodes, I own all 300+ episodes, just because I happened on them cheep.

As for the Wii it will be like the DS, the DS still hasn't reached its sales plateau as of yet, especially in Japan, and usally you reach the plateau before the half way point of it life which is in 6 months.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Sessha on December 13, 2006, 09:17:03 PM: Hmm referring to your question about the DBZ game. I would rent it first and see if you want to buy it. The learning curve with the Nunchuk and remote takes a long time (Not like Red Steel it's just really really complicated no real control problems after a while it becomes second nature) Although it's more satisfying firing a kamehameha then one of those other point to one side of the tv and bring it back to the middle energy attacks. The story mode is well the story no changes really although the cutscenes are really bad. They saved a lot of money on those. I haven't tried it with gamecube controller, because I don't think there is a button layout in the manual. But using the remote won't tire you out and it's always more fun with the remote anyway. If your a fan of DBZ then of course your going to like this. But if not a little try before you buy ^-^

Post by: Ceric on December 14, 2006, 02:04:05 AM: Spak-Spang: If the show just takes to long with fights for ya, which it actually does for me, I seriously consider reading the Manga. Fights go much quicker because you sort of skim through the pictures. I enjoyed it when I had my Shounin Jump Subscription. Also Sandland is really good to even if it's just one book.

Ummm... Wii Sales... I think Nintendo will have Version 2 of the Wii ready before the graphics become a problem. I think that the Wii hardware will have a short lifecycle say ~3-4 years. At that point Nintendo will have learned enough to make the super Beefy Wii2. Which won't disappoint in the graphics and processor area, maybe even use the successor to flash internal to boot. They'll mantain full backward compatibility, controllers and all, and that will be the system that Nintendo will bank on for at least 6 years. With different redesigns and the like through that lifetime, become smaller, getting optical out, etc.

Post by: couchmonkey on December 14, 2006, 02:24:46 AM: IGN says Wii sets weekend sales record in Australia - but it's only 32,901 for Wii to 30,000 for Xbox 360. PS3 can probably break that again if Sony actually has enough supply.

Quote
(SixthAngel) If the current graphics in games like gears of war don't stop people from buying Wii I doubt the slight upgrade in the future will. I see all kinds of sites predicting that Wii will start to be over taken because of graphics in the future and I think it is bullcrap. If the graphics aren't stopping people now I certainly don't think it will in the future.

QFT! The fact is, no matter how good PSP's graphics get, it will never outsell DS. Not only that - here's the delicious part - a PSP2 with even better graphics won't outsell the DS either. Why? Because PSP already has much better graphics than DS and nobody cares! It would have to offer similar features to DS or preferably something brand-new.

If Nintendo keeps this pace up with Wii, it will be almost the same thing. Graphics will be a proven failure in the face of Wii and no amount of graphical improvement will change that. Wii will begin to get superior third party support, and gamers that complain about the graphics will be sucked in by the games - just like DS.

What might make a slight difference in the Wii situation is that PS3 and Xbox 360 arguably have a bit more momentum than PSP (especially Xbox 360) plus Microsoft has tons of moneyhat resources. In the end, though, it won't make a big difference if Nintendo's philosophy strikes a chord with consumers. Nothing short of a complete re-thinking of the competing strategies will stop Nintendo if Wii disrupts the market like DS did.

Then I unfortunately predict a steady decline for Nintendo. The Wii will have been a huge success probably doubling the Gamecube sales in just one year, and 3rd parties will continue to make games for the system, but it just won't be as steady of sales for Wii for the rest of its lifecycle.

I hope I am wrong...but that is my realistic prediction.

As for all this Dragon Ball Z talk. I hate the show. It takes way too long to tell a single story...with a single fight taking 5-10 episodes (slight exaggeration) and the english voices and narrator is annoying and obnixious.

However, I really want to try this Dragon Ball Z game out. Is it good with the Wii controller? better with the classic?

And after you answer this question...please let this thread go back to Sales.

The game controls fine with the Wii mote and Nunchuk. It just take a while to get used to. I missed around with the classic controller, to be honest it was easier to pick up (although the lack of any details of how to use conventional controls in the manual was annoying). That said, its not as fun. It something about pulling back your Wii-mote and pushing it forward to hurl a Kamehaha or other energy wave attack that is just satisfying. Sticking with the Wii-mote pays off IMO.

As for DBZ, yeah I can see why the anime could be hated. Toei stretched out the fights, added in pointless filler episodes, etc. The manga is much better. There is now way DBZ should be 290+ episodes. It should be half that amount. Toei was just stretching it out to make more cash. Dragonball GT is completely made up. There is no manga. Toei created that crap to squeeze even more money out of the Dragon Ball license.

As for the original voice actors for the English dub, outside of Goku I think they original cast was better as well. I don't share hatred of the second voice over crew that some of you do though.

Worldwide sales of the Wii are approximately 1.8 million. The Wii is currently outselling the PS3 3 to 1. The PS3 has just under 600,000 units sold. Which gives it less than a tenth of the 360s userbase. In other words, Sony is pretty much screwed.

NGW has PS3 at ~450k units, the one who has it at ~600k is VGCharts.org (which also has Wii at ~2M instead of ~1.7M)

Still, 450k sounds high to me.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on December 14, 2006, 09:57:40 AM: I think 450K is quite possible. PS3's Japan sales are around 180,000, and I think North America was 197,000 in November (those are going by Media Create and NPD) so that's 377,000 right there. I think it's entirely possible Sony sold another 80,000 in North America in the past two weeks, in fact that seems a little low.

Both VGcharts and Nexgenwars are just guessing, though. You'll notice any time actual figures come out there's a large adjustment to the Nexgenwars figures, and I bet the same happens on VGcharts.

Xbox 360 has been selling like hotcakes as well. PS3 is dead in the water - look at the $10 over retail prices going on eBay. Also, go to your local Wal-Mart and look at the PS3s sitting in the glass case waiting to be bought. Then go back on Saturday night and look at the people camping out for a Wii.
I guess you can technically just look at the image in BnM21's post on the 1st page for sales updates...here it is as well.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: UERD on December 20, 2006, 04:57:03 PM: I don't quite see why people are touting graphics in the distant future or the PS3's '10-year lifespan' or whatever. What will computers look like 10 years from now? What did they look like 10 years ago? I can tell you one thing: they'll make all three of the consoles available (or not available) today look like utter crap, in terms of hardware specs. It's been 5 years since GCN was released, maybe 6 since PS2 was released, and the stuff you can play on a decent computer today makes each console look quite dated.

If Nintendo waits 8-10 years to put out a new console, it's doomed regardless...which is why I agree we'll probably see a Wii2 in 5 or less years, or whatever next-generation solution Nintendo decides to cook up next. Honestly, in light of what even mid-level computers with hardware upgrades can put out these days, I think that the most compelling arguments towards consoles in general revolve around the aspects that PCs can't easily duplicate: input mechanisms specialized for gaming, easy setup, same-room multiplayer action. These are aspects upon which the Wii is competing.

Also, graphics improvements will only continue to grow more incremental. It's easier to see the difference between a 100 and 1000-poly model than between one, for example, that has 10000 and another with 5000 or so. I think that art direction is going to play a larger role in the future, an aspect which is less dependent upon hardware capable of rendering more and more photorealistic graphics, and more dependent upon the creative vision of the designer.

And I really hope they don't get backlogged into spring...

Post by: Mario on December 20, 2006, 06:04:59 PM: Well, Zelda is out of the Japan top 30, with two other Wii games in the top 10 it's now safe to conclude that Zelda TP is the biggest flop of all time, not only is it the lowest selling Zelda ever, it has not even surpassed sales of Tingle RPG. To me, this marks the rebirth of real gaming with actual gameplay and while Zelda TP is an amazing "game", if you can call it that, it's the swan song of non-games. Wii Sports is the pioneer of real gaming and has taken the biggest most epic non-game head on and won. The industry is about to get more exciting again!

In Japan I don't expect any PS3, 360, or Wii title to sale like crazy unless its an RPG. Other than that it has to be some quirky new Brain-dog-sports game to sale like nuts. I imagine traditional games will always be big in the US, but in Japan, the it thing right now, is new and quirky(as long as its fun)

I think Smash was joking, regardless I have heard that Zelda really is not nearly as popular in Japan as it is in NA or other territories so it isn't a big deal. Also there is the fact that sales are going to be lower because Wii does not have the installed userbase that even GC had when Wind Waker came out. Anyway if you do look at the latest sales charts it is pretty much Nintendo dominated in the top 10 with only one PS2 game in it, so that definately puts a positive spin on things.

I'm lucky in that I can adapt to new gaming trends without feeling too bad about the ones that went by. I think more than a few hardcore gamers will become disappointed in video games over the next few years as they get simpler, shorter, and less adventure-oriented.

I really think Wii Sports should have been a pack-in there, it looks like people are just buying two games. Wii Sports = THE Wii game and Wii Play because its fun and cheap with a controller. Sales of other games would be higher if people didn't consider Wii Sports a seperate purchase, it'd probably be Wii Play and something else selling consistantly well, maybe Wario selling better and other games sales a bit more spread out. There's almost too much stuff, and now Pokemon Wii is out already.

I was DEAD serious...even though I didn't make that post.

Zelda can flop in Japan all it wants and it's meaningless: it's sold more consoles here than any other game could HOPE to do (something else I predicted back when people were b*tching up a storm about it being moved to the Wii, I might add).

The Japanese grow more and more out of touch with the goodness that is old school gaming all the time. They love RPGs where you watch a 40 hour long movie with bits of pressing a single button in between (like FF12, for example) but games which provide ACTUAL challenge are usually scoffed at over there.

Frankly, the more my tastes differentiate from those of Famitsu, the sounder I sleep at night...

Yes. This explains perfectly why the arcade industry is still alive and well there, old-school RPGs remain popular, and schmups get the respect they deserve. It also explains why they hate FPS games.. yeah..

Which is ironic, because they LOVE the Dragon quest series, which is a VERY old school RPG series, and the best selling games on the DS have been Nintendogs, New Super Mario Bros (which is an old school game), Brain Age and Animal crossing (and all of those games TRUMPED FFXII's sales back when it was released).

Post by: couchmonkey on December 21, 2006, 03:08:41 AM: Every culture has it's own quirks and "good/bad" taste. Americans will buy a ton of Madden, computer-animated movie liscences, and generic first-person shooters while the Japanese buy a ton of weird simulation/lifestyle games, anything with Gundam written on it, and generic RPGs.

I meant "less story-oriented" instead of "adventure-oriented". I think that the cinematic game's time is almost up. That doesn't mean it will completely disappear, there will be pockets of these types of games remaining but games like Wii Sports, Nintendogs, the Sims and most MMORPGs signal the return of games where the story is told through play instead of movies (if there's a story at all).

How do you quote me on saying that they "love RPGs" and then accuse me of ignoring the fact that they like RPGs in the same sentence?

RPGs are typically very easy games, easy because even the most difficult opponents can be overcome with enough mindless farming of enemies until you can overpower the bosses you need to kill.

SMB is the only exception, but even that is nowhere near as difficult as the original SMB games are. As for Wii Sports, it's not a HARD game in any sense of the word. What point are you trying to make with that?

Not entirely...Grinding sometimes can be hard and takes a lot of patience and time to do. If you want to get the ultimate weapons that sometimes can be VERY hard to obtain. And even with the characters being over powered that doesn't mean the boss will be easy to defeat. The last easy boss I encountered was in FFX because Square made the mistake of making it being weak to undead attacks. But even then, in the FF games I've played it takes A LOT of work before you can truly over power a boss, which isn't always easy.

And my point is that you are being a bit unfair in this argument when what you said isn't entirely the truth. Like I said, by your logic the old school games, whether they be easy or hard, would've flopped and the DS games, which favor quirky, fun and enduring gameplay over flashy cinematics and epic story telling, have been doing great. I think we established that your beef lies with Famitsu, which were the ones that over glorified FFXII while they played down Twilight Princess. Just as there are gamers in the US that hate the GTAs and the Maddens there are Japanese games that hate overly long cinemas and favor gameplay over story.

And I forgot to mention earlier that the Pokemon games sell like CRAZY in Japan. True, you might say that the Japanese eat anything Pokemon, but the series itself favor collecting, competition and strategies over storylines. And you said once that the game is pretty deep.

Zelda games some over a million until Majora's Mask. Also, I think the lack of Wiis and it's availability on the Cube have a lot to do with Wii TP's fall from the Top 30.

FFIII isn't hard, it's time consuming.

I'll lend credit to real-time RPGs like Mana which can be won or lost depending on they player's reflexes and ability to analyze an enemy's attack patterns, but any RPG which is turn-based and you can grind enemies for exp is NOT difficult.

Boredom ? challenge. If the only thing preventing you from seeing the entire story right away is the amount of time you spend between cutscenes/story interludes, then there isn't any CHALLENGE in the game. Challenge is the thing which makes players avoid games like F-Zero GX and the hardest difficulty in FPS games like Quake and Marathon.

Famitsu mentioned that one of its gripes with Zelda was that it was too hard. Huh? Without spoiling anything, I can safely say that this was the one of the easiest Zelda games I've ever played. All of the bosses were pushovers and while the puzzles were moderately more clever than they had been in the past, they still weren't anything even verging on "too hard".

One of the things I loved most about any Zelda game was how the boss rooms were always so colossal and intimidating when you looked at them on the dungeon map. The bosses were a bit of a let down, and that being the case, I just can't see where this alleged difficulty arose from in the game.

This is generalizing, yes, and while I'm quite certain there are many brave Japanese men and women who do not shrink in the face of challenging gameplay, magazines like Famitsu are busy damaging the good name of such people by throwing out 40s to RPGs and pet sims and calling Zelda "too hard".

Yeah I really doubt Nintendo would exaggerate the numbers on purpose since it has repurcussions (usually stocks take a hit).

You're definitely in the minority there.

I think he's being an a-hole. Like "Look how hip and cool I am! I made a sarcastic remark about America! Yay!"

How original.

Bigger games are going no where. This is just like the film industry. All of these smaller games can be compared to the independent films that got all the pub in the early 70's and 90's. People reacted in much the same way-"the big films are dead. Budgets will decrease and independents will open the doors for more original content." Was it true? Not so much, no. Independents do get more attention now, but the bigger films still have the market. Like a certain trilogy that people really seemed to like recently. But after each independent cycle, of say 7 years, a cycle of huge blockbusters follow. Games huge in scope will always have a built in audience, and as long as they do they'll remain a staple of any console.

Japan also doesn't care for Metroid by the way, so let them have their little mini games while I enjoy the "big" games.

Looks like Nintendo will have that 1 million in Japan before years end, and if they ship this week, like they did last week, then they will actually exceed predicted shipments.

also Wii => PS3+PS2+PSP for the Wiik.
Now if only Nintnedo was boosting Wii production instead of DS production, maybe we would see DS like #'s for the Wii.

If the Wii can keep this kind difference in sales up even when both machines are readily available for all, then man good times are headed our way.

Im so much more cautious with Nintendo's performance since the Wii was announced. When Gamecube was on its way I made it seem like Nintendo could do no wrong. I can defenitly see i've grown over the years.

Post by: couchmonkey on December 28, 2006, 08:16:43 AM: On Caterkiller's comment about being part of the "in crowd"...it's pretty interesting isn't it? With great power comes great quantities of horrible games - the curse we will face is that the casual and non-gamer groups will control the market and so-so cash-in games will rise to fame while many good ones get ignored. MS and Sony fans will scoff at Nintendo fans for having "bad taste" when the latest Yu-Gi-Oh outsells some new hardcore gamer masterpiece 10-1.

But the payoff is that we'll have a much bigger selection of good games. I'll take the crud if I can also get titles like Castlevania, Dragon Quest, Tales of XYZ, Breath of Fire, Grand Theft Auto, Kingdom Hearts, Metal Gear Solid, Devil May Cry, Katamari Damacy, Street Fighter, Phoenix Wright, Ninja Gaiden, etc. on Wii. I'm not saying all of those will appear on Wii, but the chances are a lot better now.

As true as that is, more is better when it comes to game libraries.

It's those same "hardcore" players who will buy a Wii for Metal Gear and then winding up picking up Metroid or Zelda because they already own the console and figure they'll give it a try, then become fans for life because of it.

I understand 90% of it will be utter crap, but if it also means getting more AAAs (which it will), then I'll weather the crap, sure.

Screw that.......

The best thing about being market leader is that they get the majority of brand new IP's. God of War, Kingdom Hearts, Okami, and Katamary were all new IP's created for the PS2. The Wii already has many new IP's, but imagine if it had the backing of the entire industry! Who could resist trying to make something new when the controller basically FORCES you to. I mean, sure, if the Wii does take the lead, it will become port heaven. However, that's only because it's the safest way for companies to test the waters. After that initial phase, it's sequel and new IP heaven.

NOT to mention, it will make Nintendo even more filthy rich, allowing them to take more chances and create some new and amazing things (and even acquire/make new studios). Also, with their innovation taking the reigns, other companies will be forced to innovate or even copy Nintendo in order to keep up; thus creating games that are more on Nintendo's level (think SNES). A perfect example to come is MP3. So far no developer has gotten FPS right on the Wii, and it's basically because Nintendo hasn't lead the way. Once they set the standard, that allows other developers to basically copy their style and then further innovate the gameplay and other controls. (think Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie)

Another example is EA's Madden 07. Do you really think someone who is trying to compete and also make a football game, is not going to use the innovations that Madden brought forth? Maybe not copy and paste, but they will certianly think of a way to FURTHER innovate; and that right there is the key.

AND what's even crazier, is that alot of Wii owners might be completely new to gaming. This means every game has a chance of being bought, since it depends on the user's tastes rather than internet sites and hype. So companies can feel free to make whatever they want, instead of FPS after FPS and Sports game after sports game. Instead, they can make a painting game, a RTS, a flying game, or a music game.

AND WHAT"S EVEN CRAZIER THAN THAT, is we will give new IP's a chance no matter what. If the controls sound fun and the gameplay seems solid, we will buy it regardless of who made it. This is very much unlike what we saw last generation, where big named titles ruled. But now, every developer is starting out on a new playing field. Innovation, ease of play, and fun will be the key, not graphics and franchises. This will spur competition amongst developers like crazy; forcing them to keep one upping each.

In the end, we reep ALL the benefits! A vast selection of superior titles.

It's definitely a weird feeling.. but it's so awesome! We (or at least I) never liked Nintendo because they were the underdog, or because they were anti-mainstream or whatever. I welcome a return to the S/NES era with open hands. There was a time when Mario used to be King, and I hope with the Wii he reclaims his rightful throne.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Requiem on December 28, 2006, 07:14:47 PM: I actually liked Nintendo being an underdog........but then again, it's because I like to see underdogs win!

Anyway, I am having more and more Wii conversation being brought up more than any system ever. Throughout my vidoegame lifetime, I rarely came up on a conversation that discussed videogame systems and their differences. But now.........now I have had more than any other point in my life! (I know I may be an extreme, but at least there is someone like me.)

The hype is starting to creep in, and it's a little discomforting. On one hand, I am excited at the prospect of Nintendo dominating the videogame world once again, but on the other hand, I feel wierd for being excited...............still, having followed the Wii for so God damn long and having debated several different topics several times over, all I have to say is......it's about time.

Cheers!

No, its not scary, it is like the good ol' days. People who are Ninty fans just because they are the underdog don't deserve the Nintendo goodness... go buy a PS3 because that is the underdog now. Go to planet so-.... I mean Sony world report.

No, back then you were more pure and true!! Now you just tell yourself Nintendo isn't perfect so you don't come across as a fanboy... :p alot of people do this, you should embrace your Nintendo passions instead and don't worry about what others think of you. Compared to Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo is perfect and can do no wrong I say.

edit-- and those worried about there being more crappy games now that Ninty is market leader shouldn't have much to worry about. Nintendo isn't Sony... look at the DS! I'm not hearing so many complaints concerning this on that platform. The way Sony and Nintendo run the industry are different in many ways.

Yeah, cause its definitely getting to you.

These Wiis you are hunting are favors, right? Talk to them and explain them that the Wii is hard to find and that its safe to wait till the hype dies down and Nintendo resume its shipping.

There's no need for a Wii NOW since it should be in plentiful supplies by spring.

I said it before and I'll say it again, if by Spring Nintendo is STILL having problems sending Wiis to stores something is up...

I didn't mean that they'd CARRY the system, only that they'd help bolster its numbers.

My emphasis is the simple point that more games are ALWAYS better, even if they are ports and crap, because the game library is something valued by developers and customers alike, even if all they see is quantity.

US Sales from Nov. to Dec.25th
Wii - 1.8million
PS3 - 750k
360 - 2million

According to these preliminary estimates from CNBC, the Wii depsite having shortages and being out for 2 weeks less than the 360 has managed to sell only 200k less units.
With one week left in the year, I wonder is Wii will be able to pass the 360 in sales.

Sales Ratio
Wii : PS3
2.4 : 1

360 : Wii
1.1 : 1

360 : PS3
2.66: 1

Wii is obviously the winner this holiday season, and X360 comes in second only by default of people not being able to find either the Wii or PS3. But we will have to wait for NPD in about 1-2 weeks to know for sure.

In other words, Nintendo has overcome any momentum Microsoft's year head-start might have achieved.

Ha ha, OOOPS. Sorry. BlackNMild is the king of sales figures! All hail BNM!

In terms of droughts, I'm a bit worried myself, but the real answer is not major games from Nintendo, it's third party support. No matter how hard Nintendo and its small army of second parties worked, N64 was probably the most drought-ridden "successful" system ever.

I'm hoping the third parties will come to the rescue...but Ubisoft is pumping out too much junk, and it seems like SSX Blur and Sonic are the only other notable third party games right now. Chances are we'll have a drought until third parties that are still just realizing how popular the system is catch up.

According to these preliminary estimates from CNBC, the Wii depsite having shortages and being out for 2 weeks less than the 360 has managed to sell only 200k less units.
With one week left in the year, I wonder is Wii will be able to pass the 360 in sales.

...wow... those sales numbers MIGHT ACTUALLY BE rough NPD numbers for Nov. 1 until Dec. 24...

At least, Falafelkid claims such.

Edit: If true, this means that the Wii is above 3 million by Dec. 24... 850k in Japan, 1,800k in America, ~600k in Europe making for a Dec 24 guess around 3.45 million Wiis?

Well maybe, but people may still buy those games. They didn't see them as a worthy purchase when Zelda was staring them in the face, but now that they have a little more bank roll, they may go out and buy some more games which they once passed on.

This is why Nintendo was smart to pack it in here. I'm sure this game has sold far more new customers on Wii than anything else. I definitely wouldn't have shown my Wii to as many people as I did if it weren't for WiiSports.

I probably wouldn't have bought WiiSports on launch day if it hadn't been packed-in, but knowing what I do now, I would buy it if I had to do it all over again.

I'm hoping that 3rd parties will actually understand that this is largely due to the fact that the Wii doesn't have a big enough installed userbase yet.

Also, 3rd party sales in the US are FAR more encouraging.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on January 04, 2007, 08:12:00 AM: Most third parties sales are just as low or even lower on the PS3. So low third party sales for the Wii right now in Japan doesn't mean that much when these companies are losing even more money on the only other system.

In Japan the only two system are the Wii and PS3 and right now their Wii games are doing better then their PS3 games, thanks to the huge cost of development for the PS3. Third Party games on the Wii can sell only 1/3 of what they'd need to sell on the PS3 just to break even.

So if a Third Parties PS3 game sells 30,000 copies but their Wii game only sells 15,000 copies the Wii game still did better since it cost ALOT LESS to make it.

They don't have a choice but to admit it had a successful launch so they change their current perspective as little as possible. It reaks to me of insular thinking where everything changes to fit your view and your view never changes.

Also Wii Sports add in = awesome idea. There was so many complaints about the pack in originally too but Nintendo showed them.

And yeah, that's what blind fanboyism will do to people. I'll be the first to admit that the GC had a pretty crap run, a few gems here and there but was otherwise abandoned by Nintendo to a last place finish.

This time around, even as rival systems will be suffering from a heinous lack of exclusives because the Wii is so widespread, those same fanboys will be downplaying the importance of those exclusives and bragging about how great their respective consoles are.

Just how it is in fanboy land...

Quote
WMS has estimated December sales of 1.3 million Wii hardware units and 600,000 PS3 hardware units (200,000 PS3 hardware units were sold in November). The analyst says Xbox 360 sold 1.2 million units in December.

WMS says the tie ratio for Wii and PS3 leveled out at 2.5 in December, following a poor start for PS3 in November. The U.S. hardware installed base currently stands at 18 million next generation consoles (including handhelds) as of the end of November 2006 (up from 8 million at year end 2005).

expect actual NPD #'s on Thursday, but these #'s are different than the ones I heard earlier that switch 360 in to 1st place and Wii into 2nd. It aslo means Nintendo may have actually sold more than 2 Million in NA before the end of the year which could put them around 4.3 mill WW.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on January 08, 2007, 05:13:13 AM: But that's just another prediction. Oh how I hope that it's true. I know Wii is going to outsell 360 eventually, but the sooner, the better.

Post by: SixthAngel on January 08, 2007, 05:31:58 AM: With a worldwide release and the crazy demand these Wii numbers wouldn't surprise me.

Does anyone know if microsoft counts broken 360's it replaces under units sold/shipped? (the ones microsoft replaces not ones people rebuy in stores) The system has been notoriously unreliable so that would be an easy way to inflate their userbase.

Post by: utarefsoN on January 08, 2007, 05:50:35 AM: you better believe microsoft is counting those replacements. Sony definitely does, how else did they sell 100 million ps2's. about 50 million broke and had to be replaced.

I'm also going to continue to say at least until jan 08 not to count out the PS3 just yet. You underestimate the draw of its graphical capabilities, I have to admit they are impressive, and I also played Resistance (on a 46 inch HDTV very very purrty) and the game play was pretty solid, and fun in the blowing stuff up sort of way. I hope and think, that Nintendo will come out on top, but if Sony can discover a way to blind the masses while deliverin epic games every once in awhile, it'll be a race.

Considering that data compares a month's, or a little over, worth of sales for the Wii and the PS3 versus an entire year of 360 sales, which is lower then either of them... I wouldn't. Sales in December were quite nice compared to the year as a whole, granted, but it still got slaughtered in a month's time by two systems which are currently suffering from shortages.

The big test is how its doing within the country versus the original Xbox. I know the first sold around ¥12.7 billion (consoles only) in 2002, and amounted to a 7.7% market share, but don't know the exact number of consoles sold.

You think they'd be opening new factories round the clock...

God only knows the same thing happened to the DSL at its launch not too long ago and just look at how it turned out: it's STILL sold out most places, especially over the holiday season.

The Wii promises to be even bigger, at least here in the states. I think it's safe to say that opening more factories isn't a "risky" business decision by any stretch.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on January 10, 2007, 08:37:21 AM: ok, you people do realise Nintendo launched the Wii WORLDWIDE, as in the entire world dont you? That's why Wii's are hard to find, because it's kind of hard to supply each region with enough unit's when there's a huge demand in every single one.

Now Nintendo could have pulled a Sony and only released in Japan and North America to help create a steady supply for those regions while screwing over Europe, but they didn't. And because of that Nintendo has gotten the jump on Sony in that region and has a good chance of taking the Europe market if Sony takes too long to release over there.

Plus on the Japanese side the PS3 is supposed to be widely in stock now while the Wii is still in short supply. So if the Wii with a shortage is able to outsell a widely available PS3, that only speaks volumes for just how popular the Wii is and how Nintendo easily owns that market.

Same is true in the US.

Their original estimate of 6 mill by march '07 only assumes they ship 2 million wiis in 3 months, aka ~666k worldwide a month, aka ~222 a month per territory, aka XBox 360 monthly sales numbers in the US during non-holiday 2005.... well, put that way, 220k a month isn't exactly a small number even though it isn't a great one.

And will they need to hoard up consoles for the rumored DQ:S bundle?

-kotaku

while it's nice to see nintendo doing better than the ps3, 600 in dec, for a total of 1.1 mill in the us seems low to me. I was calculating that to make 4 mil worldwide they would have had to do 2 mil in the us. It's too bad they botched the manufacturing so much, they could have done much better. Especially given that this is not high end hardware, ie no blue ray etc.

Post by: couchmonkey on January 12, 2007, 02:16:38 AM: I like how WiiSports and WiiPlay sales in Japan are UP from the week before - I think that'll be reflected in the hardware sales.

The NPD numbers - 600,000 is really disappointing for Wii. Think of all the people who could have been playing with their Wiis on Christmas morning! In 2006 we have:

1.1 million Wiis sold in North America
+0.9 million sold in Japan
+0.6 million sold in Europe (in the first weekend)
=2.6 million (edit: maybe 2.7, since my Japan and Europe numbers are rounded down).

I doubt Nintendo sold another 1.4 million in Europe between launch weekend and Dec. 31, so it's way off the original 4 million figure. Why? Optimistic guess: When Nintendo realized it underestimated demand, it decided to spread shipments out to keep a steady flow into the new year. Pessimistic guess: Nintendo screwed up on manufacturing and is missing out on its golden opportunity - Wii is d00med.

Holy shnike!! Wii has over double the sales of the PS3. Give the DS one more year and it'll surpass the PS2 in total sales, especially if they can keep up this pace of above 200,000 or even 300,000 units a week.

I really enjoy being a Nintendo fan at this time.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on January 12, 2007, 07:24:27 AM: SixthAngel - I hadn't thought of that. I think Nintendo's probably still short, but if you throw in Canada and the rest of the American continents the sales might get a half-million boost or something (edit: probably less, but who knows?)

It's too early to know "for sure", but I'm pretty much convinced that Wii is going to win Japan. Just look at WiiSports and WiiPlay and you can tell that it's already repeating the whole DS situation with the non-gamers and the sales and the cars that go boom, GLAYVIN!

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Deguello on January 12, 2007, 10:53:50 AM: I kind of agree. I've had problems with the way NPD does things for a long time.

They do not accurately count Walmart or Toys R US, two HUGE contributors to the game market, nor amazon, which is significant in its own right. Now I know the next thing out of your keyboard is going to be "but they estimate what they don't have." And? So what? Is that supposed to make their numbers magically more accurate? Imagine a clear grain silo and an even bigger opaque silo next to it. You can see how much grain is in the clear one, but not the opaque one, and upon asking the farmer how much grain is in it he just guesses. That's not good enough. It could be full of grain, it could be empty. Their word isn't good enough.

Especially considering this isn't the first time NPD would have pulled shenanigans. March 2005, when the PSP launched, they were happy to report the PSP launch numbers against the DS numbers, something liek 600,000 PSPs to like 200,000 DSs. But Fall rolled around and Advance Wars debuted and Nintendogs began building its fuzzy little empire, All of a sudden the PSP numbers were held back. Why? It happened again next month and the following months as well. And as we all know the DS trounced the PSP that holiday season. The numbers were finally brought to light and it was as suspected, the PSP was tracking slower. Seems strange that they would hide that...

This is more my suspicion of NPD than my Nintendo fanboyism. I wish we had a system like Japan's. They have three tracking services and they cover the vast majority of the market, and you can compare them and get a very statistically accurate idea of how things fared on the Marketplace. And it's free. Here the NPD has a monopoly, and it is a very inaccurate service, that doesn't count huge portions of the market with totally different demographics (Your Walmart shopper is not your EBgames patron.) AND it costs money. So I'm a bit bothered at all the secrecy and cloak-and-dagger crap.

Wait a minute? There are shades of not-right-ness? I was never told this by my parents! All must die! All must perish for their impudence! Who else is guilty of this not-telling-me-things-that-I-should-know? WHO!?! Who else shall I raze to the ground? Who else shall I teach a thousand subtle shades of pain! A hundred ways to die! Before I finally lay their broken body at my master's table!

You know I used to like chocolate when I was a kid but now that I'm older it's vanilla all the way. Funny how your tastes can change over time. Now what were we talking about?

Post by: BigJim on January 12, 2007, 06:50:56 PM: I guess the question is, What is it in NPD's formula that conclusively biases the results, and makes one's numbers more wrong than another?

Sort of like Nielsen TV ratings. People complain because the sampling is so small, but results are generally "equally wrong" and therefore are at least relatively accurate ratio-wise among each other, even though exact figures are elusive.

So what is it that NPD does wrong that slants the results? Is it Sony's larger retail presence in general (more stores = more track samples)? The world may never know...?

Quote
Hi all

It's Broshnat here, the site owner.

Regarding the Wii figures, like a number of other sources we projected Wii to sell more than 1 million in December. WMS, CBFS, Nintendo themselves all independently agreed with this. I know WMS have their own (limited) internal tracking a bit like we do - we get a heads up from a selection of stores - and figures were suggesting Wii sales similar to 360 and about double PS3. Obviously this isn't how things materialised - we don't know if the stores / tracking period we had data for was skewed, maybe at points where new shipments had arrived and Wii was selling large numbers - to be honest I don't really know. It seems strange WMS also predicted similar values as did a number of other reputable analysts.

The other factor is a statement from Nintendo that they had exceeded shipment expectations - thought to be just under 2m for NA in 2006.

Something does seem a little fishy here. I'm definitely not accusing NPD of foul play or anything like that, but their figure does seem much lower than everyone was expecting.

Having said that, we will obviously be fixing our main data on the front page once we have some more figures to support this. Accusations of bias towards Nintendo are not fair - we use the same system to arrive at figures for all 3 consoles. PS3 / 360 / DS / PSP numbers are all spot on, as are Wii Japan and 'Others' numbers - it's only this NA figure that has thrown people.

Thank you all again for supporting the site and please let these great discussions continue!

Post by: BlkPaladin on January 14, 2007, 11:02:36 AM: sssss. They don't want people to know that.

There are major problems with the system that's why the console companies are the better gauge especially in the US since they do have an idea of how many have shipped and the sell through for most of the market since their reps do an check of stores every month if not more.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on January 14, 2007, 11:26:07 AM: In the case of Nintendo, the numbers from the manufacturer are much more reliable since Nintendo keeps track of how many units were sold and actually reports those numbers to us.

BUT, from MS and Sony, they don't keep track of how many units are actually "sold" and pass off shipment numbers as supposedly bought by consumers. In the case of MS and Sony, we can't rely on the official statements usually.

I think Nintendo may have come up short on its shipments, but also we have some countries unaccounted for: I believe the system has launched in all of the "Americas", as well as Australia and New Zealand. I wouldn't be surprised if all of those put together took up several hundred thousand units.

As for NPD, it's not perfect, but it does attempt to account for the retailers it doesn't have and even Nintendo has quoted NPD data, so it can't be that far off from the truth. If anything, it must be more generous than Nintendo's own data.

Europe Sales figures for December.

So 50,000 from Australia. I'm guessing that does not include New Zealand or they'd say it did. 700,000 in Europe is pretty good. Are the UK numbers included in the Europe numbers or are those considered separate? If separate, that's actually 900,000 in European countries.

"(rambling on how amazingly well it sold in the UK)
Wii also took Europe by storm when it launched on 8th December 2006 and became the fastest selling games console in European history after its first weekend. In a matter of days Wii was totally sold out across the continent. Since launch Nintendo has been continually shipping more stock to retail outlets to meet unprecedented demand from both gamers and non-gamers alike. Despite selling out faster than it could be restocked, over 700,000 Wii consoles were snapped up across Europe in December 2006."

I take it Nintendo doesn't consider the UK part of the EU XD

I'm pretty sure I remember that figure being a target, not a promise, and unless you're William Tell's son, you shouldn't get so upset when someone misses a target. Seriously, I can't find any official word from Nintendo that says "4 million" and not "expected" or "approximately." Slashdot and GameSpot both used the word "promise" in headlines, but the only words directly from Nintendo in those articles were in Reggie's warning that they'd be hard to find.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: IceCold on January 16, 2007, 08:21:48 AM: Last I heard, Nintendo still said they shipped 2 million to North America, and we don't know yet whether the UK figures are included in the Europe numbers. In the best case scenario, this would add 0.8 million to the total numbers, raising them to 3.95 million..

EDIT: PartyBear, it wasn't a promise. It was just a sales target - 4 million by the end of the year, 6 million by the end of the fiscal year.

The Wii outsold the PS3 in November, but the PS3 outsold its rival in December as Sony managed to get more units to market.

"It was all supply," said Ryce. "In both cases, if there had been a higher level of inventory out there, they definitely would have sold more. These were the two hottest need-to-find kind of articles for Christmas this year.

And for those wondering why those #'s for the whole entire year are so low, here is a
Population comparison.

Canada: 2007 estimate 32,801,800
USA: 2007 estimate 300,965,000

Canada is roughly 10% of the U.S. population. And Nintendo really need to bump up the Wii supply.

If they knocked out five or so innings, and gave a 30 second countdown timer before the Pitcher had to pitch the ball, it would probably be a lot more popular. Maybe even allow the outfielders to throw a rubber ball(as long as they're currently possessing the ball that was hit) at any man running towards a base to tag him out.

Basketball and Football are simply much faster paced games than Baseball, and most Americans don't have the willpower or attention span to watch a whole Baseball game through to the end.

I wouldn't be suprised if PS2 did it before the DS came out. The PS2 was dominating everything for a time, even GBA games weren't selling as well as PS2 games. But now that the DS is the dominant force in Japan, not even a new PS2 game can stay up there for long.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 18, 2007, 04:28:41 AM: Before I post these *unconfirmed* hardware #'s, just remember that Saony has released a PR statement saying that they have just Shipped 1 Million PS3's in Japan.
Last week the PS3 LTD in Japan was 527,502 units according to Media Create.

Unconfirmed
Hardware (Not MC):
DSL: 110k
Wii: 96k
PSP: 45k
PS3: 34k :0
PS2: 24k
360: 9k <--- Gears of War relesed in Japan today, so maybe 360 will have another spike in sales.

If these #'s turn out to be anything like MC #'s, then Wii only fell about 7k units short of outselling all Sony platforms combined. Sony better hope those other 400k+ units that are supposedly at retailers(and sitting on shelves) end up getting bought over this next week, or they could be in some serious trouble (with 3rd parties) in Japan.

Gears of War spiking Japan sales? I really doubt that, the Japanese seldom are impressed with shooters, especially American shooters, or in Gears of War, a generic shooter masked with good controls.

I'd wager if we went back far enough Nintendo probably did that quite a bit in the Original GameBoy and NES heyday.

Ouch thats even worse than I thought, Wii almost outsold all of Sony by itself, and personally I think Nintendo undershipped DS to give Wii the #1 spot. They ramped up DS production but ship less than they were manufacturing before the boost?

And people are saying that PS3's are abundant in Japan and are not selling. So unless next weeks chart looks like:

PS3 401,237
Wii 92,876
DSL 91,432
etc. etc. etc.

then I think Sony is in some serious trouble. Price drops will have to come sooner that later, even though Sony can't afford them.

This is where the early software #'s come from: http://eg.nttpub.co.jp/ranking.html
But you need to know Japanese to understand what most of it is. They post the MC #'s before the MC website is updated, but I get them already translated from another forum.

Post by: couchmonkey on January 19, 2007, 03:59:36 AM: I'm sure Nintendo took the top 10 regularly in both the NES and Super NES eras, if anyone was keeping track.

It's interesting to see Sony fans continually push back the milestone for determining system popularity. First Nintendo won at E3, and everyone said, "We'll see what happens when they come out", then Nintendo won at launch, and everyone said, "We'll see what happens when they're in good supply", then Nintendo kept winning after Sony caught up to demand, and now everyone says, "We'll see what happens when Sony gets some good games", or, "We won't know for sure until the 2007 holiday season." The next fallback point is, "We'll see what happens when Sony drops it's price low enough."

I think Sony may manage to come out ahead of Nintendo in North America for a few months at some point, but Nintendo has won Japan. I think Sony is done. Microsoft might stand a good chance in Europe or North America, but I'm even betting Nintendo will win those territories, eventually.

Post by: Spak-Spang on January 19, 2007, 10:17:29 AM: I would not count Nintendo as defeating Microsoft and the Xbox 360...yet.

We had one good holiday season launch. Sunday will be the first day since that holiday season sell out to buy new units, and will be the first true test of Wii's lasting demand. But even with this shipment selling out it is going to do a massive amount of catching up...and then retain a staying power throughout.

I am not saying it WON'T happen, because obviously, Wii's success in Japan will be much greater than Xbox 360s. But its not going to happen over night.

As for the PS3...we will begin to see sales of it increase when there is actually quality games worth buying on the system...and a price drop to bring the price closer to Xbox 360s...but by the time that happens, the Xbox will sell for $50-100 less as well. 2007 will be an interesting year for the console war.

I personally predict by holiday season 2007 the Wii will retail at $149.99 with Wii Sports, or even with a combo game of Wii Sports and Wii Sports 2.

I think it did sell out, I hear that MS undershipped as they didn't really expect it to sell, or they are trying to create som sort of false hype. but either way, if it doesn't improve on the next chart don't expect it to be around on the one after that.

I still need my own, sharing one with my brother is rather annoying. Also we would have 2 copies of many games, and I would buy more games since I would have more freedom to play them. I'm sure there are many others in my position.

I think it did sell out, I hear that MS undershipped as they didn't really expect it to sell, or they are trying to create som sort of false hype. but either way, if it doesn't improve on the next chart don't expect it to be around on the one after that.

It sold out in some locations but reports of a nation-wide sellout were fabricated by fanboys.

And Nintendo was right when they said a good chunk of units were still in-transit (probably for the recent re-launch).

I addressed this in the DS sales thread, but I'll repeat it here too(since no one really pays attention to the DS one anymore).

DQM:J was a virtual sell out as of last weeks chart and S-E was not able to manufacture more for about a week. So no DQM:J on this weeks chart but will be available for sale this week and will show up on next weeks chart. Its very similar to what happened with FFIII. They underestimated demand.

and here are some unconfirmed hardware #'s

DSL 114,002
Wii 87,360
PSP 35,274
PS2 28,491
PS3 21,192 uh oh
Xbox360 10,164

If these #'s turn out to be true, looks like Sony overestimated their appeal to the Japanese public. PS3 is readily available in Japan in both 60 & 20GB flavors and one store even had a 20% discount for the 20GB(they apolpogized to Sony for it) just to get them off of their shelves.

"we could sell 5 million PS3's even w/o games" -paraphrased from memory

Sony is trying hard to make that statemnt true, cause if they don't get their 1st party games out soon(one has been reduced to a Download due to high development cost) I don't think too many 3rd parties are gonna be making many games for the PS3 either, so they'll have no choice but to sell the system w/o any games. Considering the games that they do have out aren't even selling. I think this is the 2nd week in a row w/o a PS3 game in the Top 30.

What the hell is wrong with Square? First, they told Nintendo they wanted to publish FFIII themselves, because they obviously knew it was going to sell well. They even told Nintendo to get enough DS units available at launch. Then they screwed it up horribly, and because of the shortage people lost interest in it. It sold way less than it could have.

I mean, how can you underestimate the sales of a Dragon Quest game (spinoff or not) on the DS of all systems, and in Japan of all places? You'd think they would learn..

Post by: Luigi Dude on January 26, 2007, 11:59:32 AM: This is the reason why I said with full confidence when the Wii launched in Japan that Nintendo had retaken the Japanese home market. The PS3 is just way to expensive for the average Japanese person to buy and has nothing in it's schedule that will make people want to buy the system until Final Fantasy XIII comes out. And that wont be out until 2008.

By that time the Wii should have at least a 5-10 million system advantage in Japan and a majority of Japanese third party support locked up.

I'm going to say it right now, the PS3 will not break the 5 million mark in Japan. Mark my words.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on January 27, 2007, 11:35:08 AM: Nintendo's said they're increasing the manufacturing numbers to a million a month or more come April...

If Nintendo hits 6 million "manufactured" by March 31, then goes on with this new manufacturing plan... they could have 18 million consoles manufactured by March '08, just 3 or 4 million away from the GC's worldwide total!

Also, assuming they sell every one of those manufactured items... (that's a definite IF of course) that means that in 14 months they might be tied or even edging past the X360!

I really do not think we will see a 3 Way tie, I don't think the game industry would support that. In fact I doubt there will be a two way tie but it is more likely than a 3 way. Personally I think the Wii's price point will put it out ahead of both Xbox 360 and PS3 with Xbox 360 coming in at second.

That depends on whose projections you're talking about and how you define "optimistic". My most optimistic prediction is 150 million for Wii. The machine is definitely expanding the market (see Wii Sports and Wii Play in the Japanese top 5 basically every week since launch) therefore it has the potential to be the best-selling system of all time.

Of course, that's being very optimisitic, I think a more realistic prediction is somewhere in the 40-80 million range (that's a very wide range because, hey, we're all just guessing here). Also, I'm no professional, but when it comes to predicting console wars just a few months in, one person's guess is as good as another's. Actually, I know one person who predicted PS2 v. GameCube v. Xbox pretty nicely. He was NOT an analyst, but someone's bound to guess right, no?

On the subject of producing 1 million per month, don't forget that we're talking about the first year of the system's lifespan here - it could sell a lot more after the price drops and key disruptive software is added to the market. See DS.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on January 29, 2007, 04:58:24 AM: OK, I think in its lifetime the PS3 will sell over 15 Million IF Sony sticks to the original lifecycle, if memory serves they want the system to last ~10 years.

On the Wii side I really don't know but I don't expect the Wii to actually have a full 5 year lifespan. I personally figure that 3-4 years at most. By that time Nintendo will have a good idea of peoples reaction to the whole system and it's experimentation. At that point they'll release a system that addresses the major complaints. This system will be up to what Nintendo believes to be the proper specs to run "True HD" content, think actual 1080p with "ease", just sort of leapfroging the intermediate step. This System will use the same basic architecture of the Cube and Wii but, will lose GCN backward compatibilty in favor of more uniformed access. This support will be replaced by Gamecube games being available through the VC. SD cards will still be the prefer external memory. The internal memory will be flash based, or similar technology, but be in the double if not triple digits, depends on advancement. The Media will be optical based unless better/cheaper has come along, possibility dual format with Flash based Carts and Optical co-existing. In turn the disc will be proportietary in nature and be a knock-off of a popular standard. Unfortunately though the enhancements will mean that the system will still take the same amount of power. Also Nintendo will be only releasing a Revision of the Wiimote. In fact more then likely they will keep compatibility with Wiimotes and accessories. This product will in turn have a long lifecycle, ~6-8 years if not more.

I think the Wii has it. Not only do I think the Wii has it, but I think it has it by leaps and bounds.

The PS2 sold 120 million units in its lifetime and was a console which did nothing to expand the market.

Personally, I believe the Wii will, in fact, be able to beat those numbers, especially if some 3rd party devs can drop some killer titles which push the concept to its limits.

It also depends on Nintendo's manufacturing. They NEED new factories and need them badly. The Wii will need more than a million a month if it's going to keep up with worldwide demand.

Well, like I said, it's my most optimistic guess. The dream is that Nintendo expands the market to the point where non-gamers outnumber existing gamers. Even if PS2 is so unreliable that only 70 million are actually in circulation right now, all it takes is 80 million non-gamers to make up for that. That's an uphill battle, but at the same time if you think of it in terms of just how many people don't buy game systems, it doesn't seem like so much.

I would actually guess that the actual # of actual people that bought a PS2 is closer to 50 million once you factor in that some people bought second or third systems for different a room or to get the "new" model & some where replacement systems(stories of people on 2nd - 5th systems) to either replace a previously sold unit or one that was defective.

Post by: Kairon on January 31, 2007, 06:52:28 AM: But then we'd have to re-evaluate the GB, GBA and DS numbers.

I'm content to leave Sony's 100 million consoles shipped number alone. It's objective, and I have no problem with giving Sony some (but not all) of the credit for their own success.

You guys are starting to convince me that the Wii will win... at 50+ million units worldwide... especially looking at the Japanese sales charts.

The question now is whether Nintendo will get aggressive with marketting, pricing, manufacturing, and non-game development (in the Wii Sports, Brain Academy and AC vein) in order to not only capture, but fully explode into the new market of gamers they've opened up.

Post by: MaryJane on January 31, 2007, 08:06:50 AM: It's a good thing, but also a bad thing, but I think Nintendo's best marketing is going to come by word of mouth and free press. I don't even watch commercials (ALL HAIL TIVO!!) but I notice twice as many GaayS3 commercials as I do Wii ones.

Yet the Wii continues to excel, much like how when I actually notice a DS commercial while fast forwarding I'll go back and watch it just because I see them on such rare occasions, and yet the GaaySP is on the boob tube non-stop, even the DS is trouncing it at every turn.

It's almost like Nintendo thinks their console is good enough to sell itself... oh wait, it kind of is. Although they should be pushing it more, especially games, when it comes to marketing.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on January 31, 2007, 09:13:23 AM: I've seen just one Wii commercial in all this time. Actually, I think Nintendo is okay for marketing at this point - Wii is sold out all the time and the price has been sitting steady at about $340 on Ebay for about three weeks now. Save the money for when supply catches up.

I keep trying to check myself, to figure out what it is I'm missing - some big strategy change that will make 360 or PS3 hugely popular, some stupid mistake on Nintendo's part - but so far, I just don't see anything but good news for Wii. As long as Nintendo keeps pumping out games that appeal to the target audience, I see no reason for it to fail.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on January 31, 2007, 09:34:32 AM: I think what we're not seeing right now is that the X360 and the PS3 will become much more competitive in the future.

The X360 has some MAJOR titles in the pipes for 2007 2008 which, though they may be more hardcore stuff, are VERY epic, VERY impressive. I anticipate that not only Halo 3, but also Alan Wake, Mass Effect, and others will be landmark hardcore hits. (this is viewing things objectively without the bald space marine bias applied)

The PS3 will also inspire third parties to sell their souls to bleeding edge tech, and Naughty Dog's next game could be potentially AMAZING if it pulls off its promise. And of course, FFXIII will be a HUGE achievement and definitely a system seller, as will MGS 4. And we've yet to see what happens when God of War 3 or the next David Jaffe game lands on that monster, or how amazing Heavenly Sword or Lair will be to see in motion. PS3 will be playing catch-up, but there's no question that they've got a slate of really ambitious projects that promise to impress almost ANY observer.

And of course, you've got the X360/PS3 games that won't appear on the Wii: BioShock, and Oblivion for starters. Also, the Wii as of yet has no announced plans for Guitar Heroes (amazing game) or DDR (NO DDR ARE THEY CRAZY?!?!?!). AND until Nintendo does something on the karaoke front, Signstar will be the PS3's seller in Europe and the X360 has Karaoke Revolution, I believe.

I see plenty of competition for the Wii out in the distance. This is why one of my lingering worries is the Wii's software lineup in fall 2007 (are ANY third party games slated for Fall '07?!?!?! Will Fall '07 be bombarded by non-games and third party "kiddie" titles like Sims Wii and Harvest Moon?!?!?) and ESPECIALLY into 2008.

Games do matter, though, and I admit we need to hear more from third parties (though DS was built entirely on first-party successes, with third-party support following in the wake). We also need to know that Nintendo has got more disruptive software lined up for the future, but all signs point to yes.

Actually, to be truthful, absolutely NO games are slated for Fall 07 yet on the Wii. In fact, only GTA4 (Oct 17th) and Halo 3 (November something) are the only games actually with fairly concrete release dates for the fall. So stop scaring yourself into a panick. Most 3rd parties only jumped on the Wii at E3 last year and are still in development of their games. We'll probably see a slew of games in July at E3. Plus Nintendo always has games hidden up their sleeves. Plus when we already know Super Mario Galaxy is coming, what other games are needed for the hardcore crowd?
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on January 31, 2007, 10:16:46 AM: I don't think price is too scary for Microsoft... MS is just $100 away from a magical $200 price for their core system if they want to start losing money again... And it's important to note that the X360 is selling as fast as the original XBox, but with an effective $400 pricetag. We're seeing some price flexibility in the market for dedicated gamers.

Sony, though, is really screwed. I can't see any way they can drop the $499 minimum barrier to entry obstacle to ANYTHING remotely mass market until 2009.

Post by: Luigi Dude on January 31, 2007, 10:34:56 AM: The Wii's software lineup for fall 2007 will have either Smash Bros Brawl or Super Mario Galaxy in it. Either of those two games can easily compete with anything on the Xbox 360 or PS3. Then there's the fact that Nintendo owns the Japanese market, which will ensure a good amount of Japanese third party support. Plus Nintendo is also doing very well in America and Europe and will probobly surpass the Xbox 360 in both places.

Third parties showed last gen that the system that sells the most gets all the support. To them it's larger userbase, more sales. Even if some of these's companies games sold the best on the Gamecube, they still dropped support to focus on the PS2 because it had the larger userbase. And since the Wii is going to have the largest userbase by the end of the year, we'll be seeing a huge amount of software coming out by the end of the year.

Post by: MaryJane on February 01, 2007, 01:30:16 AM: DS = Dominating System (or Sales, or Suckers, or (play)Station, or forever )

Going back to game releases, Nintendo's success of creating Super High Quality 1st party games is something that tends to scare developers. Case in point how many 3D platformers do you think we're going to see on the Wii, besides Mario? Has there ever been a worthy Zelda clone? I know Zelda is considered an action-RPG but I've never played another game like it, this could be because of my lack of systems that I've owned, but the point remains.

Don't get me wrong, it's a good thing for Nintendo and us, but at the same time the question remains. Would we see more 3rd party games if they weren't scared of competing with Nintendo on their own console?

Maybe I'm wrong, but even Nintendo is scared of competing with themselves, which I believe is why they are spacing WarioWare and Mario Party. There are a lot of good(looking) 3rd party titles in the works, but none in any way resemble games that Nintendo dominates. It's actually kind of impressive, but at the same time it could hurt them.

One other thing is that you can't really count out PS3 just yet, and you REALLY can't count out X360. One thing that needs to be realized is that a lot of people still hate Nintendo, they are made at them for the systems that were N64 and GameCube. Their loyalties have shifted, and in the face of the Wii system's success all they can say is "graphics". Someone (Kairon? I'm too lazy to look) made note of the fact that there are a lot of system selling games coming out for the X360, and a few fore PS3. Once PS3 gets it foot in the door (it only has about 2 toes right now) devs are going to jump on the bandwagon fearing missing their chance. They'll still be supporting the Wii, but once Sony can say they've sold (really means shipped) 10 million consoles, expect to see more games.

Post by: oohhboy on February 01, 2007, 02:13:01 AM: Going head to head with clone games against Nintendo is suicide. Actually, making clone games most of the time against any studio which leads a market is suicide unless you have something that is truly different.

Look at the GTA clones and wannabes out there. How many of them have died or langished in poor sales and obscurity. What about games that copy Madden. Oh wait they don't exist. "Realistic" racers besides GT on the PS2 that have even come close in sales? Nope.

The point is that Nintendo don't want people to make clones of thier games. Not really because it would compete with them, it is because they know what the outcome would be. The clone would die a quick and silent death at the hands of Nintendos own game. What Nintendo really wants is for other studios is fill in the holes in thier line ups. Make similiar yet different games. To grow the market. Bigger the market is, the stronger they can be.

If Nintendo really wanted to monoplize the console to itself, it would not make it aviable for others to develope for it. It would buy/hire people left and right to fill in the holes. But no matter how big Nintendo becomes, it will never be large enough to do that. Even if they could get that big, they would face disproporinate amount of risk as they would have to spend massive amount of effort to hold that monoploy against small, faster companies. Look at Microsoft. They spend most of thier time fighting a million bush fires instead working on it's own products. It has to effectively steal other peoples ideas to prop itself up.

As much as I want the PS3 and or 360 to die just to get rid of the fanboys, I know that it would cause more harm than good.

Understanding that is very important to the video game industry. I like how the One Piece Manga/Anime is set up, most of the main characters rarely out right kill their opponents because death would be the easy way out. Instead they are usualy only defeated, being left to see their goals, ideals, and beliefs destroyed. Its a fate worse than death! I wan't both Microsoft and Sony to hang on just enough to see their beastly machines out gunned by an "inferior" console based purely on gameplay and fun.

No but seriously before EA acquired the sole rights to make NFL games, there were 3 others out there. Activision's game, 2k sports, and ESPN all had football games. They spurred competition, and although none of them ever made it to the popularity or sales of Madden they at least tried.

My main point was that when people make games for a Nintendo console they often find themselves competing against an established Nintendo franchise, and those nerds out there that always buy Nintendo systems always buy Nintendo games, because they already know it's going to be good.

Opposite to that name two games from either Microsoft or Sony that they make in-house that always sells. Halo... Halo 2?

I'm sort of just playing devil's advocate because it's really more impressive than threatening (to me anyway) that Nintendo has such high regard among it's peers and gamers.

Post by: couchmonkey on February 01, 2007, 05:33:46 AM: 360 seems to have the most potential and the least all at the same time.

Most potential:
- year head-start = nearly 200 games, and around 9 million players
- has similar power to PS3 at about $200 less cost
- has price flexibility
- no game drought in the first half of 2007(? - I haven't actually been keeping tabs on this)

Least potential:
- it can't even buy a new demographic - Viva Pinata has its own TV show and received decent reviews, but first-week sales in N.A. were just 42,000 according to vgcharts.org. For comparison, StarFox Adventures sold 188,000 in its first week
- Japan doesn't care: 360 is seeing a slight upward trend, which could be good news, but it's tracking behind the original Xbox so far, and it's so far behind GameCube it isn't funny
- In North America, 360's first year was only slightly better than Xbox's first year - maybe 20% more sales

I think Xbox 360 could take off this year if disenfranchised Sony and Nintendo fans start considering it as an alternative. A price drop would help a lot, as will more ports of former PS3-exclusives. All that said, its sales performance so far is ho-hum.

Edit: 2 games that MS/Sony make in-house that sell? Good question!

Sony: God of War (remains to be seen if the series has legs) and Gran Turismo
MS: Halo, and, uh...Gears of War (again, don't know if the series has legs)

Sony seems to be good at pulling new hits out of thin air. I thought losing Crash Bandicoot would be a big blow to PS2, but three new mascot platformers took his place.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: MaryJane on February 01, 2007, 07:56:09 AM: If the 360 can take down first place in the U.S I would count that a win for Microsoft, and they are threatening to do that. With American gamers general dislike of Nintendo, and Sony's many failures, it is possible, especially since PS3 games are being ported over the X360. If the "sytem sellers" get ported Sony is finished.

I didn't even realize God of War was internally made. I didn't like the game myself it was like 8 hours long, crap IMO.

Edit: I originally put Nintendo, although I guess the sentence would still be true.

That is why people don't usually make games for systems with an established best genre game. Whatever that Sam Fisher game was they put on the xbox because MGS would have crushed it before it landed. The types of games Nintendo makes are often not even all that popular outside of Nintendo systems anyway. Having the best games in a genre is hardly a problem, that problem is to get the other genres games. Nintendo games beating games of the same genre was never the problem it was them overshadowing games of completely different genres. Spacing games, a big userbase and Nintendo working with good 3rd parties to give them a space with no big N game is what is needed.

Age of Empires and Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Jak and Dexter, and Grand Tourismo.

For the Record: God of War is good till you get near the end. (My disc must have a glitch because there is one place where you have to move a box and then jump to the cliff. Yeah, Kratos won't do it on mine.) Though overall thinking back I consider it slow.

I don't think you could really consider Naughty Dog's character's mascots. Mario is a mascot. Link is a mascot. Samus is a mascot. Jax, not so much. They tried with Daxter but it just didn't catch on. Still, they did push that franchise hard last gen. Three platformers and a racing game. I'm surprised they didn't release a Jax Party.

And why in the world was Sony upset about loosing Crash? I still can't believe they actually picked him to be the "mascot" of the PSX. Talk about stupidity.

PS3 sales are still really really low, and if it keeps this up it will be selling less than the GC in the same time frame as of launch. Thats not a good thing. A price drop will have to come sooner than later or an actual "must-have" game has to be released now before the damage is too bad to be reversed. I'm sure once all the 3rd parties jump ship, X360 could become the HD system of choice as a second console to the Wii in Japan (I know, its very unlikely, but it could happen).

I think the other problem Sony is having is that it can't severly undercut all the other Bluray players on the market anymore than it already has. If I was to payaround $1000 for a standalone Bluray player it better come with a BRD burner and a spindle of blank disc. Otherwise shouldn't I just buy a much cheaper PS3? Wouldn't that kinda piss off Sony's other hardware partners if they couldn't sell their standalone systems because Sony was severely undercutting them on price and extra fuctionality?

Post by: 31 Flavas on February 02, 2007, 05:30:13 AM: In addition, are there not anti-competition laws that state that you can not just dump a product on the market? I thought it was illegal (in the USA, at least) to give *any* discount on the product. That is, if it cost $X to produce product Y then $X was the minimum that you could sell Y for. So I've always been mystified how Sony and MS are able to sell their systems in the US for $200 (or whatever) below production cost.

I'm guessing it's vast naïveté, on my part, or else there are just lots of details and exemptions for different situations about the rule I don't understand.

Either way though, as you point out, Sony is in quite predicament.

It may also have to do with undercutting the competition that has similar products. If it costs $800 as reported for a PS3 and they try to sell it for lower than the Wii, I think that might be what the law is about. Because the Wii costs less, they can sell it for much less than the PS3.

Though that is probably not completely correct.

If we assume that the numbers are more or less equal worldwide, like the launch window totals were more or less equal, then Nintendo's already shipping around a million each month aren't they?

Noteworthy is the idea that 220,000 units sold in a month in USA is a respectable number done by the X360 in the summer months I believe.

On the game system side since there is technically no other player to compete with, Video Game consoles are not interoperable, then since there is technically no competition player wise if you want to give them away it's your business.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: jasonditz on February 03, 2007, 08:47:12 AM: anti-trust laws are designed primarily to keep a market leader from abusing their position to either:

1. stifle competition
or
2. screw over customers.

The modern case for "tying" is Microsoft Windows and Internet Explorer. The argument was made (and ultimately upheld by the court) that Microsoft was using their position as the vast market leader in operating systems to force users into "buying" a bundled web browser in an effort to improve the browser's position in the market.

If the PS3 was holding an NES or Atari 2600 type market share you could probably make an argument that they were doing the same thing with BluRay... trying to use their position as market leader in the game console market to give them a competitive advantage over HD-DVD.

Though this wasn't always the case, modern court interpretations insist this law only applies to companies with unusually strong market positions... that is why, for instance, Apple can bundle their Safari browser with OSX, or a linux distribution can bundle Konqueror or Firefox.

And that's where the case would probably fall apart against Sony. They're not only not some huge market leader, they're in dead last right now.

I know its kinda ridiculous for me to say this, but it would almost seem like Sony is fcking up on purpose maybe to avoid these anti-trust issues from arising until it is too late. As stupid as it sounds, you have to admit that everytime Sony does something PS3 related lately, it's so bad or executed so poorly, that you could almost think of it as sabotage. I mean everytime they open their mouths, something retarded or very conflicting comes out, and they never seem to be helping their own case. There is soo much bad news about PS3 coupled Sony's inability to effectively market/advertise their own products lately, that it does seem kinda suspect.

I would almost guess that Sony lost a bet with Nintendo where Nintendo said, "We got everything we need to beet you this time, there is nothing you can do to stop us!" and Sony replied with "You couldn't beat us even if we did everything we could to lose." They shook hands, then at E3 06 Sony started the PS3 Anti-Hype campaign, and its been downhill ever since.

I'm not rooting for a Sony turn around or anything, I just find it wierd that they can't seem to get anything right all of a sudden. Even when Nintendo started their decline, they still got a lot of things right, but Sony can't even finish their own 1st party games. GTHD is now a downloadable, and I think Warhawk turned into a downloadable too, and both because of development cost being way too high. They couldn't release the system when they wanted, and when they did release it, they couldn't get enough parts to manufacture enough to fill demand. Now that demand has backed off, they can't sell the things cause they are priced too high w/o any games that are worthy of the entry price. Because its not selling, 3rd party developers are shifting their gaming focus elsewhere, making it so that the PS3 doesn't have a game worthy of entry till late '07/early '08. Sony just can't seem to catch a break.

I think another 2nd place finish will make them think twice about the gaming market, especially if they can't seem to make a profit in two generations.

The Xbox line will only hemorrhage so much money before the MS higher-ups tell them to shut it down, though I doubt that will happen without some serious hopeless numbers for the 360 starting to show up.

I've said it before and I can't say it enough: MS gaining the top spot in the gaming industry will be the biggest disaster imaginable.

MS in first place would be a bad thing for everyone, developers, publishers, gamers. If you think Nintendo's or Sony's behaviour at the top was bad you haven't seen Microsoft. They will do everything they can to tie people into their system and make it as hard as possible to get away from them again. Not only that, they know what they can do when they hold a monopoly and it will be the end of 5 year hardware cycles or cheap consoles. They'll tie other products into their console so your Xbox 3.0 will only really accept music downloads from a Microsoft approved music download service, videos in a Microsoft approved format, internet in a Microsoft approved way. Your XBox 3.0 will seamlessly integrate with your Windows PC provided you keep using the latest MS approved version. Two years later there will be the XBox 3.1 that will play all games for 3.0 but the new games won't run on the 3.0 and no more games can be published for the 3.0. The firmware will crash every thirty minutes and you have to download patches every week.

MS knows how to interlock monopolies to prevent losing them and they know how to exploit a monopoly to its fullest. I don't want MS to be in charge of the console market because it's very likely that it won't be possible to get them out of it again.

Such is sadly not the case.

Microsoft will only attempt to meet the needs of its customers if its customers have another choice in the market. Let me use a colorful analogy which applies to this situation: if Microsoft were a woman, she'd be the best thing that ever happened to you so long as you never got married (aka. she knew you had no other choice aside from her). Once you tie the knot, it's already too late: she owns half of your crap now and she can leverage that against you instead of bothering to try to make you happy.

Such is the case with Microsoft's abysmal performance in the OS market.

There's a thread in the other systems board about how much of a total piece of sh*t Vista (the next iteration of windows) is and how MS is forcing people to use it by imposing it as the new standard, despite the fact that it makes it so you require an exceptionally powerful computer just to meet the BARE minimum Vista requirements. A friend of mine tried installing a developer version on his 3 GHz machine with 1.5 GB RAM and even IT was chugging along at a horrible speed.

The point is, since MS owns the OS market with an iron fist, they've been shipping buggy, resource-hogging, security hole-ridden software and made it blatantly clear that they just DON'T care because they know windows is the accepted industry standard. They KNOW they don't have to keep up appearances so they let their true nature show.

And just what is MS's true nature? Imagine being married to a 350 lbs woman who yells at you every time you try to do anything for yourself, never exercises, seldom bathes and sees it fit to spend YOUR money on things for herself because she knows you don't have a choice. Getting a divorce (aka. switching to a Mac) is so much more difficult that you'd rather not rock the boat and just decide to endure the suffering.

The Xbox 360 is Windows' twin sister, except that the Xbox understands that you still might prefer that sexy little Asian thing, Wii, so she'll have to do as much as she can to earn your attention away from Wii and hope Wii gives up and leaves, at which point the Xbox can let herself go just like her sister Windows did.

That, in a nutshell, is why Microsoft ruling the gaming industry would be a raging disaster for every gamer alive. She's all smiles, attention and sex when she knows you could still look elsewhere, but the minute she knows she owns you, she'll go head-first into the bon-bons and never look back.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Smash_Brother on February 04, 2007, 08:26:05 AM: I should also add that what MS is doing right now is known as the "Wal-Mart Strategy".

You see, Wal-Mart typically uses a specific pricing strategy when one first starts up in a new area: the Wal-Mart will undercut the prices of all of the local retailers and businesses, ensuring that Wal-Mart is the best deal for everything. After all of the local businesses cannot compete and die, Wal-Mart will raise their prices back up again, at which point it will be too late because they're the only retailer left in town which sells these items.

Ask yourself this: you KNOW MS plans to make money off of the gaming industry at some point, so what exactly will be the difference between how they're conducting themselves now and how they'll act one they've reached a point where they can be "profitable"?

They're not losing all of this money without the belief that they'll be able to make it back at some point, and I can only imagine that they envision themselves as the leader of the gaming industry in three generations, at which point they probably intend to charge $100 per game because they've bought up all of the 3rd party devs, charge $30 a month for XBL and only allow Nintendo to barely stay alive so Nintendo will come up with innovations that MS can rip off.

This is what MS has done with Apple for close to 20 years now: rather than think up innovations themselves, it's far easier to let another company do it and simply rip their ideas off, much like Sony did with Nintendo.

If it wasn't for the typical Japanese business ethic of "Never sell", I'm quite certain MS would have bought up more than half of all the major 3rd party Japanese devs by now because it would be the easiest way to crack into the Japanese market. As it stands, Nintendo owns 60% of the Japanese next-gen console market right now and I only expect that number to increase with time.

Like KDR said, MS has a terrible tendency of taking over a market and driving it to the lowest common denominator, ensuring that little happens in the way of innovation and that unhappy customers remain unhappy because it's easier to forcefully maintain a monopoly than it is to improve the quality of your products so that people will always buy them.

They're gaining ground because they have awesome software, hardware, and online, I don't think they'll throw all that away if they get to #1 and expect us to stick with them.

Oh and what I meant by great hardware wasn't that the systems aren't faulty at times (obviously a lot of people have had to send their 360s back, even though I seem to have been blessed with a still functional first day model), but that the capabilities of the hardware are spectacular.

Tin hat comments are only warranted when the company in question hasn't already beast-raped the sh*t out of another industry, that being the OS market.

When left unchecked in the industry, MS considers it perfectly acceptable to ship products with over 15,000 known bugs (Win 95), leave gaping security holes open and not bother to fix them until they become a problem (XP) and force users to upgrade to later versions by forcefully ending compatibility with older versions of Windows.

Who in their right mind would want to see THAT management ethic at the head of the gaming industry?

Nintendo tended to screw 3rd parties, not their customers, and I think Nintendo has spent the last 15 years learning from that mistake.

MS primarily screwed their customers, but they'd also screw 3rd parties who were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. If they took over the game market and the Xbox was the #1 console in the world, expect that EVERYONE would get screwed by them.

Post by: Luigi Dude on February 04, 2007, 10:57:28 AM: It's nice to see others share my same view of Microsoft. Ever since I first read Microsoft was going to enter the videogame industry, my heart dropped because I knew that was the worst thing that could happen.

Microsoft is ONLY in the videogame market because they intent to create the same type of monopoly that they have in the PC market. If people think that paying $600 dollars for the PS3 is expensive, you haven't seen anything yet. If Microsoft was the leader then we'd be looking at paying $1200 for their system and that will be the cheapest crappiest model. If you want the best version that has everything the system is supposed to have then your looking at over $2000.

Plus third party companies wouldn't be allowed to make anything creative. All smaller companies would die out and only the big companies like EA would be left. The only games we'd be seeing on the market place are the usual realistic FPS, racing and sports games that dominate the Xbox right now.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Smash_Brother on February 04, 2007, 11:18:09 AM: The OS market is run in such a way that MS has control over everything. They want their .NET account to be necessary to access any important website. MS has even taken to trying to put websites into such a format that other browsers won't work with those pages (again, .NET). They've let known security holes remain in their OS until a virus came along to exploit them. Now, they're forcing their customers to upgrade to Vista which will more than likely require a powerful computer upgrade in order to do so (like I said, it chugged on a 3 GHz machine).

Long story short, I don't hate people for buying and enjoying xboxes. That'd just be petty, but know that MS embodies everything wrong with the way businesses are run today. Luckily, you'd need to buy close to 30 games for MS to break even on the sale of the console anyway.

Nintendo is currently winning, not because they forced 3rd parties to their system, nor because they paid them off, nor because they exploited legal systems to stifle competition. They're winning because they make the best sh*t in the world and everyone wants it as a result and I personally can't wait to see them back at the head of the gaming industry.

Post by: Chiller on February 04, 2007, 12:29:34 PM: Not that it will happen, but say Vista sales were very, very low: how would that affect MS as far as their next generation of consoles go, and their "gaming devision," in general. Would they then be less inclined to work at a loss so that they might one day usurp the competition, and finally break a profit?
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: MarioAllStar on February 04, 2007, 12:47:43 PM: Don't many games require DirectX 10 and, therefore, Windows Vista to run? If a lot of gamers do not upgrade, then that could harm sales on Vista-only games. Less Vista users means less potential buyers means less sales.

Unless new games are both XP and Vista compatible (are some developers doing this?), or everyone upgrades to Vista, won't game sales suffer a bit? It must be nice for MS to have a virtual monopoly in the OS market.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Smash_Brother on February 04, 2007, 12:56:33 PM: That's the problem. Halo 2 will require DX10 to run and therefore Vista, meaning that MS is trying to force people into upgrading if they want to play games.

It'll be interesting to see how long updates to World of Warcraft will hold out from moving to DX10. WoW is the primary cog in the PC gaming machine right now and Blizzard moving to DX10 would force many millions to move to Vista.

But I think it's also a delicate situation. Due to Vista's immensely high requirements, I'm sure many people are going to just not update until forced to do so. I think MS understands this, hence why they're laying as many traps as possible to ensure that people are forced to upgrade. Don't be surprised if the new version of Office somehow requires Vista.

It's a filthy, rotten thing to do to your customers. Even with being the market standard, I don't understand why so many people would put up with crap like this.

Well hopefully by the time I get ahold of it, most of the bugs will be ironed out since my school will not be getting it until may (for 10$ too!). The main complaint I've heard is that there are quite a few programs and drivers that don't work with it because of the 64 bit architecture, but I blame that more on the individual developers than MS, they should have gotten things ready in time for Vista's launch.

Well I do agree, I don't care much for IE, that is the one product I've never been too happy with (I use firefox 90% of the time). Maybe another reason why I don't have problems that were mentioned is that I do not use Windows or other programs for highly complex tasks, but more for basic, home use (Well maybe more than basic, but I don't program or anything). As it stands now I have had no security problems. So I guess I'm looking at things from a basic consumer's perspective and I've been pleased with most of MS's applications and Operating Systems.

If Mircosoft was allowed to monoploize the gaming market they would quickly lock it down. They would start locking technology left and right. Buyout potential competitors. Sue other companies out of existance, stave others. Start jacking up the prices for everybody, you, me, devs. Start making thing imcompatable with older version just so you be forced to buy the new version just because they want you to, not because it is needed.

With Microsoft's inability to control Japan and Nintendo's continued dominance in handheld market it's doubtful they'll ever approach the market dominance Nintendo had in the late 80s.

At that point what would be the point to releasing a new console? most people won't/can't tell the difference if something was 10 times more powerful than before. What advantage then could a new competitor use with it's product to differenate itself and break into the market? Who would come up with the capital needed to overcome a monoploy?

Also everything you mentioned that Microsoft does Apple did and is doing. The difference is they have a core Zealot following. Also on that topic why can't I get OSX for PC? It's now for the most part the same platform.

I was wondering why I just read the DS sales thread.

Another note: Even Microsoft is releasing most of its games where they will run on DirectX9 but will look much better with 10.

From actual experience Vista runs just as well as XP on a below spec, everything but harddrive space, 6 year old machine. Another article that Pro linked says that it runs better on an iMac then OSX and it was a pretty Apple bias site. Weird... Where is 10.5 anyways?

So I actually finished it.

As a developer and an Administrator I can't wait for Vista to be the MS OS of choice. It makes my life a little more manageable. Same goes for OS X 10.5, I'll be happy when it is released because I have some support issues it will resolve and I hear there are some new things programming wise but, I'm not a big OS X developer anymore at all. Linux, well I'm sort of out of the loop there right now but I like to get back in eventually. (I have to get the money for a new machine first unfortunately.)

Back on topic is there still shortages everywhere I haven't heard otherwise yet.

Post by: Ian Sane on February 06, 2007, 07:10:27 AM: Microsoft can never truly dominate the console market like they do with PCs because of a couple key points.

1. Consoles are proprietary so there is no real roadblock from someone else releasing a console. Even if MS had the only console around they won't have a real standard as long as they demand licencing fees. To be a true standard companies other than MS would be able to make Xboxes and like PCs (or the Atari 2600) anyone could make a game for it.

2. Gaming is purely entertainment and you can't have a true monopoly in anything that is non-essential. PC's are essential. I need one for my job. I needed one for my schooling. I use my home computer for all sorts of practical purposes and not having it would make my life a sh!tload harder. It's a tool. A game console is just for fun. I don't NEED a game console. If MS had the only game console around and I didn't like games for it I wouldn't own it and it wouldn't be a problem for me not to own it because it wouldn't entertain me anyway. Now it would suck if no good games were being made but there would be no reason that someone couldn't start making good games and if MS sucked too much no one would buy their console because they don't have to.

The only problem is if MS dominates and you don't like what they're offering but everyone else does. Then you're kind of f*cked because few besides you dislike what is being offered. That is very unfortunate but at least MS making gaming suck for everyone and screwing over everyone can't happen.

Sony seemed to have everything under their thumb and then they priced the PS3 at $600 and overnight they've become a joke. You can only get away with so much in the entertainment industry.

I don't think you've noticed the direction that MS is taking consoles (Sony too), they are essentially trying to make proprietary PC that connect to the TV so that you can have one in the livingroom, bedroom and anywhere else you have a TV. Eventually they will make these consoles so non-gaming funtional that all you have to do is upgrade your universal box every couple of years to keep up with the newest software. If they can successfully replace your standard PC with an Xbox1080 and get you to have one hooked to your family TV then MS could establish some sort of Monopoly on the market.
Once they get Office1080, DVR software, On Demand Downlading(music, movies & games) along with conventional gaming(online & offline) all on the same box all at an affordable $400/500 then I can see a one console future. Or atleast a universal standard being made by many different companies. I don't really wish to see anything like this yet, especially not from the likes of MS (or Sony to a lesser extent), but it is definately a very plausible thing to happen in the not so distant future.

Post by: Spak-Spang on February 06, 2007, 08:15:45 AM: Graphics haven't yet reached their peak yet...because we can't create games with the animation qualities of Pixar movies cheaply and easily.

Yet please lets stop this nonsense of photorealism being the goal. Photorealism is impossible to achieve, because when you attempt to create something too realistic your brain will see the flaws and reject it.

Instead it is more important to focus on creating a style and emotional connection to the worlds and characters within your games and movies. That doesn't take photorealism, but good art direction and story telling.

I am perfectly happy with the graphical power of the Wii as it allows developers the power neccessary to create their worlds, yet doesn't cost a fortune for the consumer and for the developer.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on February 06, 2007, 08:46:04 AM: The whole Microsoft and Sony trying to rule your home thing is interesting. The problem for that type of future is do consumers actually want it? I think a lot of people see convergence as the logical outcome of having lots of different technologies, yet why didn't our TVs and stereos and VCRs converge 20 years ago? Sometimes the obvious route of convergence misses out on consumer desire. Sony put all these neat functions in the PSP, and Nokia combined a game system and a cell phone. Why is DS, a totally dedicated game system, beating those two?

Because it offers great gaming experiences geared towards the right audiences. Sony and Nokia put plenty of effort into creating neat hardware, but forgot to ask if consumers were willing to pay extra for the extra features, and generally failed to create excitement about their games.

PS2 would be the counter-point since DVD was a big draw for the console, but, by the time GameCube and Xbox finally came out, it was also far and away the best competitor in terms of gaming, not to mention DVD playback was around peak demand. PS2 was in the right place at the right time: if Nintendo never adds DVD playback to Wii, it won't really matter, because DVD players are cheap now, and practically everyone has one anyway.

Someone hasn't seen the Holodeck in Star Trek, that is proof enough for me that photorealism is possible.

Post by: son of lucas on February 06, 2007, 05:29:48 PM: More to the point, ILM and the other special FX companies are already pretty close to photorealism. The last big hurdle is perfecting the animation (cel animation had the luxury to stylize and exaggerate). Especially for humans.

Fantasy characters and inanimate objects are pretty much already there.

I was half expecting Wii Sports/Wii Play to be largely disregarded. I think its awesome that each are now very nearly individual million sellers on a stand alone not bundled basis.

I mean, i'm totally looking forward to "traditional" games like Metroid Prime 3, Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, etc... But I certainly want additional "Wii (whatever)" games.

We do know that Trauma Center is over 125,000 and Super Monkey Ball is well over 200,000, though.

but I'm too lazy to substantiate that and look for original sources.

If these shipments match sales more or less, than good healthy numbers, especially for Atlus!

Hahahah.

MaryJane, I'd suggest you check the news paper early Sunday morning to see if anybody's advertising the Wii and then just try to get to the store as early as you can before it opens, if you're lucky, you'll be the 39th or so in line. I had absolutely no luck at all calling stores to check on shipments, but maybe demand has decreased since I was looking for the Wii.

Ouch @ those PS3 sales, I think thats atleast 3 weeks in a row of declining sales. That can't be good. VF5 did come out today though so maybe we will see some first day sales #'s tomorrow.

PSP+PS3+PS2 = 67,483 vs 65,740 = Wii
Wii almost had Sony beat.

DSL = 146,073 vs 141,461 = Everything else including DS Phat
Nothing surprising to see here though, I think DS has outsold everything combined very many times for quite a long time.

Post by: Ages on February 08, 2007, 07:44:51 PM: Wow...so in Sony's infinite wisdom, they manage to release a console that's too expensive to begin with and has no good games out for it. By proxy, they kill off the PS2, the only system they make that generates any money, not to mention the greatest thing to hit Japan since sliced bread (until the DS came along that is). Speaking of the the DS, it's dominance leaves absolutely no marketshare for the PSP. In a matter of months, Sony has gone from being an unstoppable force to a company that's falling behind fast. Not good for a corporation where it's gaming division is the only profitable sector.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Hocotate on February 08, 2007, 07:50:09 PM: If VF doesn't have a huge impact (which it won't) then Sony is pretty much screwed for the rest of the year. No more big name titles till probably fall 07, just think of the lead Wii will have by then... especially if the PS3 numbers continue to drop at this steady pace.

Well it seems that the generational transistion isn't from PS2 to PS3 as would have been thought, but is now from PS2 to Wii, so once Wii becomes more available there will be no more need to make the games(targeted) for the PS2.

Since they have hyped everyone up for something new and then dissapoint with lack of games and high price, they have started the beginning of the end for the PS2 and still-borned the PS3 at the same time.

If the Wii continues to get all those games that were going to be on the PS2 only now with new(improved?) control, new concepts and better graphics(or just no slowdown) then yes, the PS3 accidentally killed(or crippled) the PS2, and the Wii stepped up in its place.

Nintendo is in a situation where they better start getting AAA titles out quickly. Because as of now, the Wii doesn't look like it has that many great titles either.

We all know they are coming, I mean just look at how many exclusive Nintendo projects are in the works and supposedly going to be available this year. It is mind blowing. However, they aren't out yet.

Nintendo also needs to get production more stable because once the games start flowing Nintendo is going to need to get their system into peoples hands.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on February 09, 2007, 03:53:18 AM: Just to keep the record straight. Sony has actually seen some profitiblilty from its other divisions this year with some of the restructing they are doing. Which is sort of ironic. As there most profitable division falters other ones are on the rise. Though not enough to compensate.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 09, 2007, 05:54:49 AM: 1st Day Japanese sales

PS3 | Virtua Fighter 5 32000 37%
DS | Luminous Arc 19000 49%
DS | Jet Impulse 2400 12%
PS2 | OutRun2 SP 2900 32%
PSP | Medal Of Honor Heroes 3500 26%

will it even hit 100k within the week? If not I don't expect to see it in the Top 30 in the the week after the next charts. Then the only game to boost PS3 sales from then on till Q4 2007 is Gundam which doesn't come out till March.

Well, either everyone in Japan finally got a PS2, or the PS3 has managed to off the PS2. From what I've seen, the Japanese are very trendy, and typically don't purchase outdated hardware. The PS3 was released, causing it to be the new hip thing until everyone realized it didnt have any games worth owning. The PS2 is now old news, and therefore the hardware won't sell anymore.

?? Define how much is many...

Week over week, Wii Sports and Wii Play are in the top 10, both are nearly individual million unit sellers and both have a 70%+ attach rate without force bundling. Followed by Wario Ware, Zelda, and Pokemon. That's 3 or 4 more then the PS3 has...

Additional Wii titled games for Wii, like Wii Music, are undoubtedly already underway, in addition to the already known AAA titles of SMG, MP3, SSBB, FF:CB, Super Paper Mario, Fire Emblem, Sonic, etc...

But, neither are PS3's..... So what's going to ramp up the PS3 sales until then? Nintendo will have more titles, VC titles, and maybe an independant new WiiWare/VC title or two.

Post by: jasonditz on February 09, 2007, 10:28:03 AM: Don't discount the value of games like Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, and Dragonball Z: BT2.

Sure, those games are multiplatform, and maybe they're not the sort of "all time great" games that Zelda is or SMG likely will be. But you know what, those games are very solid, very unique in their control schemes, and they're attached to strong licenses.

If you're even remotely a fan of DBZ, the Wii version of BT2 is a must own. If you're a Marvel fan, you will not be disappointed by UA.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: jasonditz on February 09, 2007, 02:05:22 PM: TP and DBZ are actually a nice comparison for me because both have virtually identical versions available on other consoles I already owned.

I think I'd have been fine with the Cube version of TP... the motion controls are neat, but by no means essential.

DBZ, on the other hand... I wouldn't have even considered buying this game for the PS2. Not that it's not a fine game there too (I'm sure), but that honestly I've played DBZ games with a dualshock to death. Yet there's something so much more appealing about the Wii controls, something so unique about playing it that way, there's really no comparison.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: MaryJane on February 09, 2007, 02:36:07 PM: GDC is going to be big for Nintendo. Not because they are going to announce killer apps, but because they'll have a chance to give developers something else to get excited about.

As reported on the NWR (I almost put PGC lol) homepage the online dev kits have been in the hands of developers for awhile, if they're smart they'll urge devs to release online games soon (and very soon) after the release of Pokemon Battle Revolution which better hit before July.

Nintendo also needs to give the developers some new incentives and "party" hats. IGN interviewed the Factor 5 dude, and he said he would love to create something for the Wii. The problem is that he isn't doing it now, he offered a lot of critiques for the companies who are making software, but isn't making his own. Why? Well he says because Sony is pretty much doing whatever he asks so they have a good relationship, this is what Nintendo needs (blind loyalty) to develop with (no pun intended) developers.

The original Wii Ware content also has a chance to be big, but again Nintendo needs to prove that there is good reason for developers to make such content. They have a habit of doing that by coming out with their software first, and saying follow suit, maybe a little more hands-on help would be better.

Developers are video game fans like us, except they actually have the power and resources to make games. However, as I mentioned they need something to get excited about. There are a lot of possibilities with the Wii, but everyone is afraid of taking risks for a couple of reasons.

1. Nintendo fans buy Nintendo software over anything else. I mentioned before (somewhere, maybe this thread?) about how there are no clones of the popular Nintendo franchises on Nintendo consoles. I would like to see a fresh 3D platformer, I mean Hell Yes I'm excited about Super Mario Galaxy's but I'd like to see something else done well by someone else. I would also enjoy a Capcom, SEGA, or even EA version of SSB.

2. Kidie image, and Non-gamers. Manhunt 2 is going to scream in the ears of industry. Can a "mature" (or Adults Only in this case) game sell well on a Nintendo console? If Manhunt 2 fails for any reason other than it sucking (which I doubt) every other developer is going to take their violent games and go elsewhere. The Kidie image may be shedding slightly, but Nintendo itself is pushing the non-gamer aspects of the Wii, and while not a bad thing for them, it could potential be for us, and developers of non-non-games.

I'm speaking tongue-in-cheek, playing devil's advocate or however you want to call it, but these are serious issues for developers regardless of that.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread

I've played both and I completely agree with you. These two plus Madden are the best "multiplatform" games on the system.. We rented Ultimate Alliance because we enjoy games like X-Men Legends, and it was great fun. Many worried about how 3D fighters would translate onto the Wii, but DBZ pulled it off pretty well. It's a launch game too; I'm sure later games in this genre will improve on it.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_pap64 on February 09, 2007, 04:27:15 PM: Weird, last I heard Ultimate alliance was a so and so game and that the controls were pretty bad...

Then again, I heard this from SB and friends, so simply they didn't have the time, patience and maybe skills to sit down and truly master the game.

So maybe to THAT group of friends the game wasn't worth it, but to another group its rock solid.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Flames_of_chaos on February 09, 2007, 05:50:05 PM: Well I bought Marvel as on the games at launch and its a solid fun title. I don't care if this lacks online (if I cared I would of gotten it for my 360 instead. My only problem with the game is that sometimes the game doesn't register your motion correctly and you end up doing a different move. And like everyone people will bitch at the idiot player slowing them down due to the center single camera also another thing that isn't fun is when people fight over control of the camera by tilting the nunchuk.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Spak-Spang on February 09, 2007, 06:22:02 PM: I played DBZ with the classic controller and the Wii controls. What I found actually surprised me...except for some of the more advanced techniques (teleporting to hit somebody already flying, and teleporting to block and strike) I was able to do most moves with the Wii controls more intuitively and more enjoyable than the classic controller.

"The edgier Twilight Princess is easily on track to blow the rooftop off sales of the stylistic Wind Waker, which was oftentimes called overly cartoony by critics and fans."

I'm surprised it wasn't phrased "...despite the 'lack' of voice acting or Hi Def"

Looking back through the thread I was also surprised to see the Famitsu sales figures at 381,968 (over 400k as of last week) posted on February 07, 2007. So does that place Zelda at 1 mill in NA and almost half a mill in Japan?

It was the tilting the Wiimote to orbit the camera which irked us.

I can understand the dungeon crawler part. They do tend to get boring and repetitive quite fast.

But what surprises me is that no one has mentioned that issue about camera control.

You would think an irksome feature like that would get noticed a lot more in people's reviews and impressions.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Smash_Brother on February 10, 2007, 05:58:58 AM: We rented the game and thus had no idea how we were accidentally controlling the camera mid-game, hence why it was such an issue for us. We didn't have a manual to reference.

Other than that, though, the game still wasn't that good. Was pretty standard if not sub-par dungeon crawler fare.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Edfishy on February 11, 2007, 03:06:17 PM: Regarding Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, my siblings and I have had no problem whatsoever with the camera, and actually are quite satisfied with its functionality. Despite the game's simplistic nature and standard dungeon crawling elements, the "Use any Spell at Any Point" through Wiimote gestures that keeps me interested in the game. Quite simply, I wouldn't want to play the game with a gamepad and I find it hard to get into other dungeon crawlers without the abillity. It really adds some depth.

Does anyone here think that Nintendo is shipping Wii's disproportionately?They're going to come to a little over 300,000 wiis sold in Japan in January, so this probably isn't the case. North America and Europe must be getting roughly equal shipments, with America slightly the higher of the two probably.

They really need to establish themselves as the market leader in Europe before PS3 is launched, and they really need to attempt to feed the demand(which is still insane) in the U.S. where people are still lining up on Sundays to pick up Wiis.

Though the fan in me wants the Wii to be more available so I can play with people but, personally since I spent a whole day waiting at Walmart at launch to get a launch unit I don't really care as much. I just hope people don't get turned off on the system. It truly is a lot of bang for you buck especially if you go by the amount of time it can. The News Channel alone can eat a good part of my day just reading the headline news. Now voting...also you get Wii Sports. By the time you get tired of those you've recouped the cost of the Wii and your Wireless solution.

On that note the News Channel needs a way to cycle through the news and then download and go back to cycling through. It be nice for waiting rooms in its own way.

Nah, it's rather normal. On a non-holiday time schedule, Japanese sales charts tracked the same. #10 is typically around 20-25K. #1 varies depending on the top games. But if they aren't being ravaged by NSM, Pokemon, or a brand new PS2 game, #1 is anywhere from 50-80k.

During xmas though the minimum for #10 was 135k.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: IceCold on February 14, 2007, 04:30:26 PM: According to IGN and NPD, software sales have been very strong in North America, especially third party ones.

Quote
Madden NFL 07 was PS3's number-one third party effort with approximately 185,000 in sales. Incidentally, despite having a larger installed base, Madden sold slightly less on Wii with about 180,000 units. The numbers aren't incredibly different, especially since Nintendo fans have not traditionally flocked to the Madden franchise. PS3's second biggest third party seller, Call of Duty 3, amassed 110,000 purchases. The Wii version of the game, however, sold through 155,000 copies.
(...)
ven so, third parties have definitely already found in Wii a console that they can turn a profit. Wii had nine games - six of them from third parties - that sold at least 100,000 copies through December. That is, again, compared to two for PS3. Ubisoft in particular was a big winner. Its Red Steel and Rayman Raving Rabbids Wii titles sold approximately 220,000 and 185,000 respectively - nothing to scoff at for a brand new franchise and another that has slumbered for years. Sega's Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz managed 175,000 in sales. And Atlus had a sleeper on its hands with Trauma Center: Second Opinion, which sold through 115,000 copies.
So Red Steak sold 220,000, eh? I'm curious to know how much it sold in Europe, so we know the total to date. Strong numbers across the board, though. Marvel: Ultimate Alliance sold 150,000 also.

Post by: Kairon on February 14, 2007, 05:00:55 PM: It's strange to see how IGN is defending Nintendo recently, with reference to the "kiddy" stigma and with reference to third party sales. I've come to expect criticism from them, not support!

Oh, and that said, IGN was looking at the NPD numbers for JUST DECEMBER. This means that any sales in the first 10 or so days after and including launch aren't included, nor are any sales in 2007. 220,000 units for RS is a good launch point that, combined with front-loaded launch sales and residual 2007 sales, suggests that UbiSoft did achieve a measure of success with the title.

Hopefully, for the sequel they can keep costs down, not rush so much, increase quality and increase profits.

Oh, and its nice to see that several multiplatform games sold better on the Wii than the PS3. Not Madden though.. darn! It would've been a cleansweep!

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Smash_Brother on February 14, 2007, 05:25:15 PM: The fact that Madden sold that well on the Wii and the Wii's ever expanding userbase is why EA is so strongly shifting development resources to the Wii instead of the PS3.

Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on February 15, 2007, 02:47:42 AM: Do we get NPD numbers today? I'm really curious to see if Wii outsold PS3 in January, or if the shortages are holding Nintendo back.

The story in Japan is the same old. It's really impressive to see Wii Sports and Wii Play still up there after all this time, it's clear that Nintendo owns the non gamers. Otherwise, DS took 23/30? Wow! I guess I should mention VF5 as well, but seriously, any major new release could take 1st place in Japan right now: the sales are pretty low.

I'd argue that Madden and other third party titles doing well are due to new consumers jumping on board. Not just non-gamers either: my dad has a hardcore Xbox/360 gamer in his office who won't shut up about Wii. The guy had his mom lining up at Future Shop to get him a Wii and, later, WiiPlay.

Post by: Jin-X on February 15, 2007, 03:23:17 AM: Madden Wii would have even sold a lot more than that if EA WOULD HAVE ADVERTISED THE DAMN GAME. I still can't believe how they didnt do that.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Deguello on February 15, 2007, 03:27:18 PM: Kinda Strange isn't it? The DS is only a little over two years old and it's within 5 million of the PS2. And if it keeps selling at this pace, it will surpass the PS2 in less than 7 months.

Edit: Oh yeah, just to stroke the fanboy inside me... The PS3 is at the exact same total the Gamecube was at at this time in their lifespans. However, next week, in order to keep pace with the GC, the PS3 has to sell 160,000 units (The GC got a little boost at this point from SSBM.) If it can't, the PS3 will be officially doing worse than the GC in Japan.

Are you still going to be able to FIND the guy at Gamestop by that time? And will a guy who works at Gamestop actually be able to honour a $1000 bet? I'd take it if it was $100. Oh yeah, and I'd make sure it includes global sales, because Japan is where Wii is going to win for sure.

Okay, sales...

Wii: AWESOME. I'm so glad to see this.

Xbox 360: Cut the price already!

PS3: Ha ha ha.

DS: I have to wonder if these figures from NeoGAF are right, I was expecting DS to be #1 or #2.

PSP: I'm impressed at how it just keeps going. It does have a decent lineup of Playstation ports, and as Kairon said, emulationz.

PS2: Way to outsell both next-gen graphics systems.

If I had to guess, I would say many who were turned away from the PS3 due to price, but are still loyal to the Playstation name, opted for the handheld device.

Playstation 3 Total Software LTD = 1,936,846

As anyone can see, the Wii is owning the PS3 hard in both hardware and software. And when you take into account it cost third parties MUCH less to develop for the Wii and alot of their games sold just as good or even better on the Wii, third parties should be very happy with their Wii sales.

Any third party that decides to give more support to the PS3 over the Wii after this is a complete moron.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on February 21, 2007, 09:36:31 AM: That is right. If Nintendo could shaft the Japanese, there'd be a lot more DSs in the US, but since demand is still much higher there than here, they get the most systems. However, Nintendo has upped the amount of systems they can produce in a month now so we should see those DS numbers go up across the board.

Plus, in Europe, the DS is the most popular system just like in Japan and it's just starting to come into the boom there that it had through all of 2006 in Japan.

There've been some decent PSP releases of late, and the platform has quietly gotten a halfway respectable lineup of titles. I mean, it's still not in the DS league or anything, but it's no longer the Ngage redux that it was shaping up to be early on in its life.

It's impressive to see that the only PS3 multiplatform port that outperformed its Wii equivalent significantly was Need For Speed by about 40k units... Madden was about equal for both consoles, and Call of Duty, Marvel, and even Tony Hawk all did better on the Wii!

Also notable is the 130k figure for Trauma Center (yes!), the the 70k figure for rampage (huh?), and the bevy of small successes like 50k for Monster 4X4 (WHAT?!?!?!?)

You beat me to it! I was about to post that same story.

I agree that IGN is playing chicken little again. The games are selling better than expected, especially when some of them are technically inferior to the PS3 versions. And I'm sure companies are seeing great profit, despite "sluggish sales".

Looks like Wii Sports & Wii play are sliding down the charts, hope its only temporary, and GTA: SA is still on the charts, while Zelda missed the Top 30 once again (it was #31 last week).
Blah, blah blah, DS continues to dominate the charts, but Virtua Fighter is still in the Top 25. After is sub-par debut, even though it debuted at #1, I surprised to see it on the charts at all.

Post by: Louieturkey on February 22, 2007, 10:00:51 AM: Who knows for sure until Nintendo tells us how many they sold?
I figure they are gaining on the 360 weekly worldwide since the Wii sells better in Europe and the US and the 360 is near non-existent in Japan. I think by November of next year, if the momentum of each goes the same way, the Wii will be near equal with the 360 in sales, if not surpassing it.

I'm pretty sure that these LTD #'s only include NPD upto Jan 07, the most recent Euro #'s(the last ones I've seen were for Dec.) and these MC #'s. So I'm pretty sure it would have made it over 5 million LTD by now.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: ryancoke on February 23, 2007, 04:19:36 AM: I would like to see how the current sales of the Wii/360/PS3 translate into profit or loss. I know that Wii makes money on every sale and PS3 loses money but what about the 360?
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 23, 2007, 04:34:07 AM: The 360 is is either really close to breaking even or already making a very small profit per unit sold.
And with the rumored revision that may be coming out sometime this year, they will definately be in the profit zone, at their current price, which they will milk until the PS3 decides to have a price drop.

I'm pretty sure that these lifetime-to-date numbers only include American sales up to Jan 2007, the most recent European numbers (December 2006) and Japan sales through last week. So I'm pretty sure it would have made it over 5 million lifetime-to-date by now.

Vudu covered it, but the acronyms are:

LTD = Lifetime To Date

NPD = Company for North American sales figures

MC = Media Create - Website for Japanese sales.

But Black 'N Mild is wrond. The LTD numbers do NOT include NPD and Euro #s. Those LTD in Media Create's data are purely Japan only. Fortunately, his conclusion about the Wii being somewhere in the vicinity of 5 mil worldwide still holds true although the flow of his language does not. So... no harm no foul!

I think that VG Charts tries harder than NexGenWars to predict figures. I believe that NexGenWars just figures out a rough trend and sets it up on their site, that way it can update constantly... then they just correct the figures when they get new updated info from the manufacturers, and revise their trends when they need to.

I think that VG Charts takes the data at hand and... tries to "improve upon it" and adjusts it using certain assumptions. For example, VG Charts tends to trust shipment figures for successful games... I read once. They also adjust hardware figures in certain directions due to beliefs that the tracking trends in a particular direction consistently (they don't use pure NPD hardware figures for their totals I believe), especially since some tracking information is notorious for doing some "estimating" themselves... like how NPD themselves just guesstimate Walmart numbers.

If you had to go by one or the other and those were your only 2 choices, I would chose VGCharts hands down everytime. VGCharts is about as accurate of source as the average person like you or me are able to check.

I've never heard of the PSP game before has anyone else? I don't think its an anime because I likely wouldv'e heard of it if it was.

Although let's give credit where its also due and say that the DS is still pounding the PSP into oblivion :-). Fire Emblem sales are a little disappointing.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on March 01, 2007, 02:25:08 AM: I'm not too surprised by Fire Emblem's sales...look at Wii Sports: It's not hardcore gamers buying the Wii in Japan, it's non-gamers. For the next while, expect most traditional games to have so-so sales. I've also heards some complaints that the game uses the classic controller where the pointer would have been perfect...maybe people are disappointed that it doesn't take advantage of the system's capabilities.

Monster Hunter did extremely well. I personally think it did better on PSP than it might have done on DS, where there's Pokemon to compete with.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 01, 2007, 05:19:01 AM: I'm not 100% on this, but I think MHP & MHP2 are just ports of the PS2 versions, and the PSP is a 1/3 the userbase of DS - 5mil vs 15mil.
and... FE sales aren't that bad considering that the one for GC only debuted at 25k higher and had a much larger userbase.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on March 01, 2007, 05:46:04 AM: Add the fact that Fire Emblem is only an artficially popular franchise, like the niche Ogre Battle/Tactics/Cooking/Fitness games.

MHP is a good example of catering to a hungry audience, like Halo and shooters in general for Xbox. It's an effective business direction, and makes it obvious why Capcom is continuing support by simply porting last year's ps2 games, because of the $$$ potential, word up.

It's not a Pokémon clone, though. The series is more akin to Phantasy Star Online than anything else (no story, just objective after objective), and the title is not implying the catching of these monsters but the killing of them.

Actually, I'm mightily impressed with FE's sales. It's a very niche title with a VERY new console userbase, and it seems to be on track to sell a respectable 100k to 115k... 150k if they're really lucky. 75k first week is beyond your average game launch, and more than I expected for a hardcore game on a console where Wii Sports and Wii Play are the big sales drivers.

Post by: Luigi Dude on March 01, 2007, 07:45:07 AM: People are going to have to wait until next weeks sales before really saying anything about Fire Emblem. FE9 for the Gamecube only sold around 150,000 total in Japan because it came out when the Gamecube was dead in 2005. Since the Wii is selling very well in Japan right now, there's a good chance Fire Emblem will have some legs.

Plus you have to remember the best selling Fire Emblems were FE3 and FE4 back in the Super Famicom days and these were their lifetime totals.

Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem - 697,750
Fire Emblem: Geneology of a Holy War - 578,000

As you can see the series while popular was never putting up numbers in the millions. It's always been more of a hardcore audience thing, so really all a Fire Emblem needs to do is sell a few hundred thousand and Nintendo will be happy with that.

Whoops, my bad, I was thinking of Monster Rancher...which may still be nothing like Pokemon, it just struck me as a clone back in the day, although I never played it.

Post by: Ceric on March 01, 2007, 11:20:23 AM: Monster Rancher started as a cash in to the Tomagatchi(sp?) craze and truly evolved into its own in the second version. Which I still prefer overall. (Mainly because I like the idea of the monsters doing missions on there own.)

Post by: Kairon on March 01, 2007, 03:44:08 PM: This is a pretty fast rate of sale for the Wii. I'm really hoping it holds up. 75k a week in Japan? Yikes! That pace is like, 3.9 million a year! Assuming america is also 75k weekly (NPD numbers for January seem to bear that out) and europe gets shafted at about 50k weekly.... that's like... 10.4 mil a year worldwide! stupendous! .... not enough to catch up with the X360 by New Year's '08 but still pretty stupendous.

... that's assuming the sales hold up.

Post by: IceCold on March 01, 2007, 03:52:36 PM: I'd say, if all goes as planned, Smash Bros in Spring 2008 or so will push the Wii ahead of the 360 for good..
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on March 01, 2007, 04:09:01 PM: The Wii won't be able to push these sorts of numbers though unless they can get the games out. The Holiday line-up will be VERY important, and to a lesser extent the summer line-up too since that'll lead into it and they'll need momentum if they really want to hit it big.

Actually, I'm hoping more casual-esque games like DDR Wii pop up this Fall (and Guitar Hero too perhaps?) because those will cement the Wii firmly in the middle of mainstream sensibilities. I'd also hope that they get more non-gamer experiences out there such as my current personal holy grail, Wii Music. And finally, they'd need SOME significant showing in the hardcore arena... there's no question that hardcore gamers will prefer the X360 and PS3 this fall (heck, MGS 4 is coming out, and maybe even Halo 3), but the Wii NEEDS to at least hold its own here for appearance's sake. Maybe a bevy of ports, MP3, BWii and online play this holiday season will do the trick?

But MGS is a vastly overrated, over hyped series of games. It doesn't matter what system they are on, it doesn't change the fact that it's overrated.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Smash_Brother on March 02, 2007, 04:23:01 AM: MGS seems to have too narrow of a focus to rope in any amount of new players.

It's definitely the type of game I enjoy, but it never sold me a system. I'd play it if it was on the Wii (like I did with the GC), but I'm not about to drop $600 or even $300 on another system so I can play it.

I just can't get into a game where it's 70% cutscenes, and of the 30% if actual gameplay, 90% of that is played by trying to avoid action. That leaves 3% of the game experience for boss fights and throwing grenades that disable cameras.

You sure picked the right MGS to watch the cut scenes for. In my personal opinion MGS 1 and 2 sucked, and sucked real hard (not the gameplay just the story), HOWEVER, anyone who has not played 3 and continues to bash the series for it's lack of gameplay should come to understand that it's a standard game with about 20 hours of gameplay, with an ADDITIONAL 5 hours of cut scenes. Not only that but MGS 3 acctually had a decent story line, and i'd love to play a game where THE BOSS was the main character.

Greatest line though, "I need you!" "Say that again snake!" "I need you.... To fly the plane."

And to whoever said it sucked cause you avoid action, It's a stealth game, what can you want from it? If you like the gameplay of MGS but were turned away from the amazingly bad story (and pathetically short gameplay) of MGS 2, give MGS 3 a shot

And my memory for lines in movies/games/TV series/anime fails me once more...Which scene was that? There were many scenes which involved security cameras, and I DO remember that a camera messed everything up, but where did it exactly happen?

I was not impressed with MGS3, in fact I had more fun with MGS2, goofy story and all. In regards to the defense of MGS3 having 20 hrs of gameplay and 5 hrs of cutscenes, I hate to break it to you but that is still quite a bit. In fact that is 1/5th of the game being cutscenes!
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_pap64 on March 03, 2007, 04:48:54 PM: On the subject of MGS, MGS 3 was my first Metal Gear. I had play tested Twin Snakes and MGS 2 before, but I never got around to fully playing them. After enjoying the demo I went ahead and rented MGS 3 for the weekend and I was HOOKED. I played the whole thing non stop, and when I finished it I was in awe. The story was fantastic and the gameplay was rock solid.

I was the one that recommended S_B to download the cutscenes, because he doesn't have a PS2. I saw the whole thing with S_B and while the thrill of playing through the story was very minor, it was still captivating.

I then borrowed S_B's copy of Twin Snakes. I loved it as well, ESPECIALLY the boss fights but the story wasn't as engaging as in MGS 3. There were tons of character drama, yes, and I loved the humanity the story brings to the cliched sci fi war story arc, but for some reason it didn't have me hooked. Maybe the reason I have much higher respect for MGS 3 is because it was my first MGS game and thus my first time experiencing such grand storytelling?

I skipped on MGS 2. I heard far too many horror stories that keep me from even renting the game.

I haven't played Secret Rings. I defended it, yes, but I haven't played it.

I'll likely end up playing S_B's copy once he is fully done with it, so until then I am neutral on the game. I defended it because the game is rock solid (according to fan reception), plus I didn't like how you generalized Nintendo fans for liking games like SR and Red Steel.

Post by: Adrock on March 03, 2007, 07:46:23 PM: Ignore the total mindf*ck story of Sons of Liberties and it's a better game than Twin Snakes. The problem with Twin Snakes is that Silicon Knights and Konami didn't redesign the levels to take advantage of the MGS2 gameplay mechanics. It made the game so much easier. On the bright side, they somehow made Grey Fox 10000% more badass than he already was.

I didn't play much of MGS3. I watched a friend play through some of it. A 30 minute boss battle? What the f*ck? And then there's the boss that releases the dogs with bees in their mouth so when they bark they shoot bees at you... actually, he just controls bees (or hornets) and shoots them at you which really, isn't that much less ridiculous.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Amodaus1 on March 04, 2007, 04:03:11 AM: 30 min boss battle?

You must be talking about The End. Whether you loved or hated that boss battle, you have to give credit where credit is due, IT's NOT a standard boss battle, and you can take MANY unique approaches to killing The END, one which come to mind is pushing your ps2 clock foward 2 weeks in time after you engage him, if you do this, he will die of old age. Either way, most people like the most that it's a sniper battle, some people don't.

And who said 5 hours of video = 1/5 of the game. You must have miss read my post, i said 5 ADDITIONAL hours. I never count cutscenes into my gamplay count, because your not playing. So if you want to compare mgs 2 which has a blazing 4 hours of gameplay to MGS 3 which has 20, we're talking 500% more game. Now if we talk ADDITIONAL cutscenes, MGS 2 has a blazing 500% increase over MGS 3.

Yeah i didn't like the pain, but i liked all the other bosses in MGS 3. Seriously, if you like MGS's gameplay you should try MGS 3, it is the best in the series, and will not dissapoint. I'm actually pissed that portable ops and 4 will not playable by myself, epessially 4, it looks promising.

Quote
According to an official report, via Vooks, it appears Nintendo's Wii has finally surpassed Sony's PlayStation 2 in Australia. Released on 7th December, 2006 in that territory, Nintendo's new console has sold more than 68,000 units to date, with 17,000 of those coming in 2007 alone. In comparison, the Xbox 360 has sold a total of 153,000 units since launch early in 2006 and has cracked 13,000 units sold so far this year. As for the PlayStation 2, 265,000 units were sold in 2006 and sale tracker GfK states "It's still a very strong console."

Despite being so strong, though, the Wii has finally managed to edge ahead in terms of overall popularity thanks to a supply of strong games, increased hardware stock and people not buying PS2s due to waiting for the impending PlayStation 3. The test will be when Sony's next generation platform launches...

Post by: Ian Sane on March 08, 2007, 05:21:56 AM: I don't really care for seeing WiiPlay outsell Zelda. Not just because I hate to see a great game getting spanked by a collection of tech demos but because of the trend it shows. Japan seems to have fully embraced non-gaming. The problem is that since the crash Japan has provided the best games. If Japan is too focused on non-games then that only leaves Europe and North America for the "real" games. Or at the very least Japanese developers are going to be designing their gamer games for the western audience. I don't see that being good for the game industry's longterm health.

The market crashed the last time western game design was king. A western focus will make companies like EA have even more influence on gaming than they do now. Western publishers are too focused on fads and catering to the mainstream. Their games are very often disposable. No one cares about them a year later when the sequel comes out. Aside from the fact that would suck from a quality point of view I think too much of that will eventually cause a backlash. But then I don't see gaming as being truly mainstream friendly anyway. I think it requires too much effort from the user to truly be embraced by the public like passive activities like music, movies and TV. The best gaming can hope for is being a fad and relying on youth and hardcore gamers to carry it through the rougher times. Nintendo thinks otherwise so I may be wrong. Still I'm concerned.

Hell, even if the mainstream does like games forever who wants an industry where WiiPlay outsells Zelda? If the East focuses on non-games and the West focuses on EA-style games then who's left to make games for game fans?

The fans of those games need to step up, take out loans, open development houses and make those games themselves, and the Wii presents the absolute best opportunity to do just that.

Post by: couchmonkey on March 08, 2007, 05:50:05 AM: Sorry Ian, the industry just isn't going to be what you want it to be ever again. The other option was for Nintendo to slowly become irrelevant while someone else figured out how to tap into the non-gamer market.

The thing is, there will always be hardcore games. DS has plenty of them. But just like 2D fighters, SHMUPs, and Adventure games, genres will die in pouplarity. I believe the humongo-single-player adventure/RPG is the next on the chopping block. Huge budgets to create 50-100 hour games that only appeal to dedicated gamers... Zelda, Final Fantasy and the rest are going to have to evolve or die. Dragon Quest IX is already on the "evolve" train by moving to DS and becoming multiplayer.

Myabe they should bundle the nunchuck with a Special Edition of Zelda TP that way it will complement all those WiiPlay bundles.

You can't find a controller, so you buy WiiPlay, but now all you have is the controller.
You can't find the nunchuck, so you pick up Zelda too. Now gaming and non-gaming both win.

The timing on the release of Wiiplay was perfect - early so that the 'extra' wiimote would be a huge consideration in its purchase. Nintendo basically manufactured a one million selling game when it devised the Wiiplay bundle. Instead of looking at this as an isolated success for Nintendo sales, this is being taken as signal for the crash of gaming as we knew it. That is such bullcrap. This gen is looking to be the 'have your cake and eat it too' gen for Nintendo. There are plenty of game games to go along with the nongames. What is cool is unlike the past two generations, Nintendo isn't the only one making games for its console. But let's keep jumping to the most negative conclusions. That is definitely the most fun...

The non-games market isn't replacing the games market in Japan, it's piggybacking on it. The honest-to-god games market had a slight contraction in recent years there, but it's still a multi-multi-billion dollar industry. Companies like Koei and Square Enix and Namco Bandai and Konami have invested enormous amounts of money in attracting the people capable of making the real games that industry wants.

With apologies to Majesco and Hudson, any idiot can make a Crossword Puzzle simulator or a Sudoku game. Those products have their place and even among gamers they're not totally without interest. It's fine for those products to exist... it's even fine if there wind up being more of those products sold than the real games. The game industry isn't going to vanish.

The talent in the industry is not being steered into non-games. Miyamoto is not making a Wiimote calisthenics program. Yu Suzuki is not making a Japanese to Korean dictionary. Hideo Kojima is not going to make a touch-sensitive sculpture program. Hironobu Salaguchi is not producing a photorealistic simulation of that little game at Japanese festivals where you catch koi with a paper net.

These are the sort of guys the great games have always come from, and they're where the future great games are going to come from.

Post by: Deguello on March 08, 2007, 07:43:26 AM: Ian, take solace in the fact that, even if you don't count Wii Sports and Wii Play as "games," pretentious as that is, Zelda is still the #1 "game" in Japan this generation at this point, at about 410,000 units, which will steadily increase IMO.

BTW Did you Know? On the SNES, A Link to the Past was outsold by a Dragon Ball Z Fighting game. Don't act like it's the end of the world. You pansy.

Post by: Luigi Dude on March 08, 2007, 08:04:23 AM: Plus there's the fact that worldwide Twilight Princess has sold over 2 million copies. In America and Europe 2/3 of all Wii owners own the damn game. At the rate it's going it's looking to be one of the top selling Zelda's of all time. Actually when you compare it's attachment rate right now and how it's selling there's a good chance Twilight Princess will top Ocarina of Times sales and become the best selling Zelda of all time by the end of the Wii's lifespan.

Just because non games sell better in Japan then Zelda doesn't mean a thing. Japanese companies like all world companies only care about money. And when there gamer games put up huge numbers in America and Europe, that's all they need. They're not going to throw all that away because of Japan when they still have a gold mine in the rest of the world.

Or is it really that you don't care seeing that "real" video games are just a part of the market? Imagine if there was solid hard tangible evidence that was really hard to discredit or disprove, and it disproved the existence of the Christian God? Do you think a certain percentage of the U.S. population would not care for it? It would shake the very foundation of certain religious extremists. Now don't take from that Ian, that i'm calling you a religious extremist or a video game extremist. But what I am saying is that i'm not surprised that certain groups, even individuals, like you Ian, are concerned about what the popularity of Nintendo's new games means for the future of video games.

I mean, does it mean that your video game beliefs are not important anymore, Ian? Does it means that certain "truths" in the video games world are no longer valid or true? Does it mean that "real" video games will be "compromised" now? In a very real way, I think certain video game blowhards (not that you are one Ian ) are beginning to feel like they are losing power, even perhaps, emasculated.

Even though I'm clearly a Nintendo kind of guy, this isn't as bad as you may envision it could become Ian.

It only means even more games will be created. And not as in Atari E.T. or Pacman. I'll repeat what I told someone on another game website. This really isn't anything new. The "hardcore" video gamers think they run the show, but they don't. This information is disturbing and jarring only because it is revealing to hardcore gamers who they really are. Just a slice of the pie; perhaps not the majority piece.

There is nothing foul or poisonous about these games to the industry, except to the hardcore ego. The video game sandbox doesn't exclusively belong to you/them now.

It means there's a possibility that games like Zelda will not be made as often. That's the concern. As non-gaming gets bigger companies will focus on it more and will focus less on "gamer games". Why spend money making gamer games when non-games cost less to make and will sell more copies? That is the concern. Hell we see it now on the Wii. Nintendo has not released a gamer game on the Wii since launch. Warioware and WiiPlay are clearly aimed at the non-gamer like WiiSports was. The Gamecube at the same time in it's life had four first party gamer games (Luigi's Mansion, Wave Race, SSBM, Pikmin) while the Wii has two first party gamer games(Zelda, Excitetruck) and three non-games. While the Wii seems to be selling better Nintendo's priorities are different. They now have to make two different types of product and they have not released anything for the "original group" since launch. For a gamer not interested in non-games Nintendo's first party output is essentially half of what it was before.

The situation is quite new. A group where previously nearly 100% of the product was aimed at them (ie: everyone was a gamer; like any hobby if you lacked the skills to enjoy the interest or failed to understand it you didn't participate) now has a different group fighting for attention. The new group is bigger and more easily pleased. I see no logical reason from a business persceptive for a publisher to continue to release a comparable amount of product for group 1 anymore when group 2 requires less effort and higher financial gain. It's like when reality TV and game shows suddenly took off and for a few years there was nothing on TV worth watching.

I love smooth moves and because this version is easy to pick up it is suddenly not a "game."

Ian you shouldn't be worried about more "nongamers," you should be more worried about the lack of "real gamers." It doesn't matter how many nongamers come into existence if the amount of traditional gamers doesn't drop the games you want will still be made. When the industry grows the old parts don't suffer in order to satisfy a new demand, instead more games are made to satisfy the new parts.

Zelda's never get released more then once or twice on a console anyway. So it's not like Wii Sports killed your chance at a third Zelda. It ludicrous to think a Final Fantasy, Zelda, Halo, or GTA is going to be displaced by ANY GAME. Hell going with that trend... Why not argue no games should be released, but the genre kings? Sorry, competition and variety is a good thing.

You can say this about any game though. As game X gets bigger and bigger, game Y will go out of focus. But more over, small inexpensive games that sell lots and lots of copies are what finance your big extravagant and very expensive Final Fantasy's, Halo3's, and GTA's.

How is excite truck a game where you control a truck by rotating the wiimote like a steering wheel a gamer game but how wii sports is a non game? I remember owning Track & Field for the NES. It was a compilation of events from the olympics. As far as I knew it was a gamer game. I don't really see how wii sports is anything but an extension of that concept.
I can imagine wave race controlling similarly to excite truck. I don't see where 'gamer games' end and 'non games' begin. Please explain it to me. Tetris is a classic game. Where does that fall? Even Brain Age has elements of a classic arcade game - it pits you against your own past performances.
Ian, the situation is not new at all. You were just too young to remember the first time it happened. Video games used to be only an arcade phenomenon. I wish I could meet your parallel who was saying that home consoles would ruin video games.

Nintendo is just credited for leading the current charge to capture the non-gamer audience and make those kinds of games part of their business model. A few companies have released "non-games" over the years even if they were probable never meant to be a priority for those companies. Sega released Seaman years ago and Konami's DDR series isn't necessarily a gamer's game though many gamers now enjoy it. Recently, Capcom has Phoenix Wright. Atlus publishes Trauma Center and Touch Detective.

I don't really need more than one sentence. Everything about Trauma Center makes it a non-game. If you really want to get into it, first define what a "non-game" is because the term itself is elusive. I tend to think that it's a "game" that reaches beyond established genres and/or is created with people who don't normally play videogames in mind. That's a vague description but it's also subjective. Your definition of what a non-game is may differ. Trauma Center fits into my definition of what a non-game is. So I throw it back to you, what about Trauma Center doesn't make it a non-game?

I agree. Not even Nintendo has done that. Games like Zelda, Mario, Smash, Metroid etc still seem like a priority to them. Nintendo isn't going to stop putting out their big traditional games in favor of non-games. I think we're seeing companies release more non-games even though the focus remains on traditional games.

Trauma Center and Phoenix Wright are both non-traditional and do attract a different kind of player...but they aren't non-games any more than MASH or A Few Good Men are non-movies. One is a fast-paced action game requiring quick reflexes, the other is a traditional point-and-click adventure game requiring puzzle-solving skills. Note the use of the word "game" in both descriptions.

Seriously, this is so retarded. So what, you listed like several new games on the DS and call them non-games? Trauma Center isn't really a "simulation" and if you played it or saw a video of it or maybe even did a little research into it you would know it isn't a "non-game" by any stretch. You said everything about it screams "non-game." WHAT ABOUT IT? why do I have to define non-game if you are the one making the damn claim? YOU define it, and say why you think Trauma Center is a non-game.

And Adrock, if the definition of non-game changes from person to person like you postulate, then all I have to do to validate it's "game-ness" is say I think it is one and be done with it. It sorta makes the whole idea of classification pointless.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Smash_Brother on March 08, 2007, 02:46:16 PM: Trauma Center is the very definition of a gamer game: it's based entirely on skill, precision, reflex and failure is a ready possibility at all times.

A non-game like Nintendogs is a "non-game" because of the generally low expectation in terms of actions on behalf of the player that require skill, reflex and timing.

Trauma Center was ridiculously based on skill and reflex, as was Wario Ware. I wouldn't even call certain Wii Sports games non-gamer games, such as Boxing and Baseball, as the amount of skill and speed required to compete at later levels is pretty intense. They have casual appeal, yes, but they're still very much GAMES.

EDIT: Beat me by 2 minutes, Deguello...

And before you assume that I know nothing about Trauma Center, please keep in mind that I work in a video store and I've played almost everything on Wii. By "almost" I mean, I'm not wasting my free rentals on Barnyard or Avatar.

Yes, it gets hard, but skill and difficulty don't define what a game is. Who says a non-game can't be hard? A pre-school difficulty level isn't necessary to draw the non-gamer in. A non-gamer doesn't know Trauma Center will drive them up a wall, but they might pick it up and give it a chance because it's not like anything they've seen before. They might like it and they might want to put the game down. At the same time, it might make anyone put the game down. The important thing is getting them to try it. These non-traditional games are meant to attract different audiences (though they're not supposed to be exclusively appealing to non-gamers). The design of Trauma Center tends to elicit a second glance from non-gamers because of it's different.

why do I have to define non-game if you are the one making the damn claim? YOU define it, and say why you think Trauma Center is a non-game.

I did define it and I think you should too because the very definition of what a non-game is at the heart of this discussion. If you think my definition is wrong, then say why you think it's wrong and part of that is defining what a non-game is yourself.

Post by: Bloodworth on March 08, 2007, 09:31:06 PM: Non-games are not defined by who will like them.
Electroplankton is a non-game.
Japanese cookbooks are non-games.
The Kanji dictionary and language programs are non-games.
Nintendogs is just as much a game as Animal Crossing.
Trauma Center is an intense hardcore game in every way and you'd be a fool to think otherwise.

Now that's settled. Let's get this thread back to the point. Where the heck are this week's hardware numbers?

Yes! I was disappointed with DS sales last month since it seemed to finally completely take off in North America during the holidays, but didn't do well in January. I guess it was just the shortages.

Nothing can stop the DS. It's a worldwide phenomenon. And the Wii and DS are really driving the industry up.

Post by: Jin-X on March 15, 2007, 12:29:20 PM: The huge Crackdown numbers and the lacking spike in 360 HW numbers illustrates the 360's problem: the lack of variety in their library, XBX games sell great but they are all too similar so they fail to attract new people, they sell to the same fanbase.

First, I read that Nintendo would ante ip the shipments in April, so by logic more Wiis should be in stores by summer.

Second, don't you find it weird that even with stores not getting any Wiis it sold roughly 335,000 units in February?

Shouldn't those numbers be lower, especially if the system is hard to find?

I'm guessing that Wal-Mart and BestBuy are getting the majority of the Wii shipments right now, which totally shafts retailers like GS on hardware sales, but they prefer to sell software anyway since there's a much better margin on it.

Icecold nailed it: people are actually buying Nintendo systems in February, of all months.

The only reason why we saw more Nintendo console units in stores at similar times in past generations is because people didn't want it.

Just admit it, Nintendo is actually popular, rather than more popular than they expected such that they made a minimal number of units to save money and share among the territories.

Then again, no Nintendo home console has been in demand in all major territories at the same time, this soon.

Um, yeah, but my question is why Gamestop didn't receive any Wiis for the past 3 weeks (and I'm sure it's Gamestop and that other retailers are still getting them).

I've no idea why Gamestop would be so low on the totem pole when it comes to shipment allocation, but it seems like they are. I've always seen BB and Wal-Mart getting more systems.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on March 15, 2007, 06:30:57 PM: One thing the local GameStop lady told me is Nintendo treats geographical groups of stores as regions of finite product stock.

You could have 1 Target, covering say a 20 mile radius as if it was "the" one and only target of the city. Nintendo will send that store 20 Wii units in one shipment.

If within that same radius there's 5 GameStop stores, Nintendo will treat that group of GameStops as a single Gamestop region. Nintendo will send 20 units in one shipment, but it will be DIVIDED amongst those 5 stores.

Thus, each Gamestop doesn't get a lot of stock to begin with, and in turn, the stock appears to deplete sooner than a Target (a single, LESS localized retail outlet) that has to sell through 5 times as many stock.

In the end, people may be right that the bigger stores get more unit favor. Probably because it (1) costs less to ship a bundle of units to a single location, rather than UPS things to separate chain outlets, and (2) people are developing this tendency to lineup at the bigger stores, causing faster sales rates to occur at the bigger store, and (3) online retail outlets are managing to get units in stock in contrast to the "in store only" sale policy that was used throughout the past holiday, so the online stores are now taking a piece of the available shipment pie.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on March 15, 2007, 06:46:51 PM: I wonder if our local store still has the Wii that has been sitting there for weeks?

The declining PS3 numbers are what I've hoped for, it's good that people aren't dumb enough to buy a console that's twice as expensive as a console should be and doesn't offer any games other than the promise of FF and MGS plus the belief that what was on the PS2 will automatically be exclusive to the PS3.

I was reading an article about that. Some stores were only putting a couple of PS3s on the shelf to make it look like a limited number. I think it was a Target, the manager said that's the only way they can sell them.

They have to fake a high demand to move them off the shelf = pathetic.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 16, 2007, 07:32:34 AM: Thats what they were doing at the Circuit City by my work a little while back, they would display 2 behind the counter saying that it was the last 2, and when someone would buy one and then leave the store, they would replace the missing one with a different one from the stash under the counter.

I still have yet to see a Wii for sale on a store shelf though.

edit:
February totals for Japan + US + Canada:

Wii 660k
360 259k
PS3 219k

Wii outsold 360 & PS3 combined, and thats not even counting Europe, which would help 360 but help Wii even more.

That makes sense, as this Gamestop was one which is kinda out of the way from the others.

I called one nearby but in a denser population area and they HAD gotten some in in the past few weeks so it sounds like you're correct.

Post by: couchmonkey on March 16, 2007, 10:07:56 AM: The conspiracy theorist in me would argue that Wii numbers are dropping because Nintendo is trying to prevent Wii supply from outpacing demand until there are more games to drive demand.

Even if that were true, though, the fact is Wii is outselling the competition nicely, even with relatively few new games.

Yet they are still selling over 300k a month in NA, that is a pretty hefty supply of systems, and I'm sure both MS and Sony would have trouble hitting that production number in a month. BTW I've seen the Wii on shelves like 3 times in the last month!

Not so.

Between 2000-2007, Sony has allegedly shipped over 100 million PS2s. If that's to be believed (which it by and large is, as VG Charts says it's 111 million), then Sony had an average of 1.2 million PS2s being manufactured every month, and their demand was nothing like the Wii's is right now. It's still early, but I suspect Sony or MS would drop the cash for many more factories if they had a product as hot as the Wii + DS (both of which are hard to find right now).

I'm not really blaming Nintendo for the shortage...yet. If we DO reach Sept and they still haven't gotten Wiis to stay on shelves, then I don't think it can be argued that Nintendo can't manufacture worth a damn.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: GoldenPhoenix on March 16, 2007, 02:39:18 PM: Well we also have to take into consideration that Wii is being distributed globally, I would not be surprised if it is hitting close to 1.2 million if you factor worldwide shipment (Like PS2). Not to mention that Nintendo is also manufacturing the NDS Lite, and GBA SP still (even the GC if some reports are to be believed). Also it appears the projected number of PS3s either shipped or sold (not sure which you can never know with Sony) is 37 million. Which divided by 6 years and 6 months (Not sure exactly how long it has been) equals about 470+ thousand shipped a month, which does not factor in when production was ramped up later on. (Please check my math, I'm not the best).

Anyway if you factor in Worldwide shipments, I would not be the least surprised if Nintendo has averaged around 1.2 million each month like Sony did with PS2, which is mighty impressive in my opinion for a relatively smaller company.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Smash_Brother on March 16, 2007, 03:43:53 PM: Wii shipments are about 600-800k, worldwide at present.

But yeah, the handheld manufacturing means that they're sharing resources, but I still maintain that Nintendo should be opening factories like crazy.

Wii demand will only go up, and god help them with the DSL supply when DQ9 launches...

Post by: BranDonk Kong on March 16, 2007, 04:57:05 PM: All 3 Wal-Marts had PS3s during the past 2 days (no, I didn't go just to look for PS3s), but none had Wiis, including the one that had 10 Wiis a few weeks ago. Looks like someone found out they had it in stock. Also, every time I go to Gamestop (which is rare, but they gave me $30 for Twilight Princess today, and $25 for Wario Ware), the fake PS3 boxes say "now in stock" out front...no Wiis...no nunchuks. If Sony announces this HOME BS, and that same week I see 17 PS3s, then I can't see HOME being as cool as they thought it was.

Sony priced the PS3 at such a figure that only the most hardcore gamer would ever consider picking one up just for one or two "cool" games, or a concept in this case I suppose.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 16, 2007, 05:47:06 PM: I'm sure some of the people that picked up a PS3 so far, did it solely to use it at as a cheap Blu Ray player. At $600 PS3 was the cheapest Blu ray player you could find, I think the next cheapest one was around $850-$1000 for a stand alone. That would explain why no one is buying software, but the movies are selling pretty well.

Post by: MaryJane on March 17, 2007, 04:40:35 AM: I think Nintendo is trying to be cautious. One day, hopefully later than sooner, the systems aren't going to be flying off the shelves at the rate at which they are now. If Nintendo spends money opening new factories that they are going to have to close in 3 or 4 months, it adeversely affects their profits. Although it would provide a boost in sales, since more available would translate to more sold, the boost would be temporary. Eventually the supply and demand will level out to a point where their current rate of production will be fine.

My hope is that with their high controller prices, cost cutting production methods, and the fact that they're making money on each console sold, that they are hoarding money now, to prepare for the losses of their next system. This system is already in development, although perhaps still in the planning stages. It is unlikely that they won't be entering the graphics war next gen, but hopefully they'll be able to keep the price down with all the money they make on the Wii.

Well, they extrapolate, and might be generous and add a bit. But also, I think Nintendo feels that people will take the NPD numbers more seriously, since they are an external, third-party source. Even if Nintendo's own tracking figures are more accurate, many probably think of NPD as more reputable because of the perceived bias, or think Nintendo's numbers are only "shipped consoles" or whatever.

Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on March 20, 2007, 11:53:52 AM: Well this news doesn't surprise me because I knew the game would be hot but here it is for everyone else.

Twilight Princess surpasses the 4 million mark

According to all the sales data it gets broken down like this.

Wii version - 3.08 million

North America - 1.55 million
Japan - 560,000
Europe - 970,000

Gamecube version - 1.17 million

North America - 850,000
Japan - 40,000
Europe - 280,000

Both versions total - 4.25 million

Here's the lifetime sales for the other Zelda's to surpass 4 million

Ocarina of Time - 7.60 million
Legend of Zelda (Original) - 6.51 million
Link to the Past - 4.61 million
Adventures of Link - 4.38 million
Wind Waker - 4.35 million

So when you see this Twilight Princess will easily surpass Link to the Past, Adventures of Link and Wind Waker this year. But when you look at the attachment rate and how well the game is selling, the chances are really good that Twilight Princess will actually surpass Ocarina of Time and the Original over the next several years and become the best selling Zelda.

And when the next Zelda for the Wii wont be out until at least 2009, I dont see sales slowing down anytime soon.

I dont have the numbers for Four Swords Adventures on the Gamecube because VGcharts only lists the sales of games that have sold over 1 million copies. So that makes Four Swords Adventures the only Zelda to not break the million mark.

Post by: Luigi Dude on March 21, 2007, 05:16:26 AM: Well considering how popular the original was back in the day, it's not too surprising. Back then there wasn't much for videogame media and so most people bought games without really knowing what they were about. Most of the people that bought it probobly thought it would be like the original only to be surprised when they started playing for the first time.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on March 21, 2007, 05:32:48 AM: The Gamecube version of Twilight Princess alone actually outsold Minish Cap in North America. That's pretty neat.

The difference between the North American and Japanese sales of Wind Waker is pretty big. Funny considering that the general assumption at the time was that Japan would be more accepting of the graphics style.

Zelda hasn't broken a million in Japan since Ocarina of Time (Oracle of Ages/Seasons shouldn't count since it's two games and logically neither one broke a mil). Nintendo was right about gamer drift over there.

Or maybe it was because you couldn't get any other opinions than those around you? Personally I hated (well maybe hated is too extreme, more like severely dissapointed) the game the moment I started playing it back when it was new, it paled in comparison to LoZ and felt rushed out the door. Not to mention there must have been an outcry that you were not aware of or they would have stuck with the same formula instead of going back to the LoZ style in Link to the Past.

Back before we had the Internet to tell us which games to hate, we had to rely on these things called magazines. They were chiseled in stone and really hard to carry around, but they were good enough to get a sense of the gamer zeitgeist. It also does not necessarily have to have been an outcry that led Miyamoto and his team to change things again in the next game. Miyamoto has demonstrated a penchant for change for change's sake, and sales of Zelda II were not much lower than sales of A Link to the Past, according to Luigi Dude's findings. I don't believe that many people bought the game before they heard how different it was from either a friend or a stone slab.

Plus, Zelda 1 & 2 were released on the GBA under the NES Classics label. So those numbers should also be higher. I know at least 1 copy of Zelda 2 was purchased. I for one loved that game and still do to this day.

I don't believe that many people bought the game before they heard how different it was from either a friend or a stone slab.

Still back in the NES days people bought games more so based on how "cool" it looked rather than reviews. Yes there were magazines, but people were much more uninformed than they are now (or when the internet started taking hold). Kids, mostly, made more descisions based on how good the game looked from the back of the box, and since LoZ was a popular game then kids instantly got their parents (or at least tried) to pick the game up.

That is another thing that must be taken into consideration as well, back in the NES days gaming was more of "kid" thing and thus what determined a good or bad game was much more subjective besides the few magazines here and there. Like I said I played Zelda 2 long before the internet came out and hated the game, and I doubt I was the only one, it was just that those opinions were more openly heard through the internet. Not to mention the fact that Zelda 2 was pretty much rushed out the door, I believe it came out within a year of LoZ and was missing many of the key developers of the original, with it in fact being developed by a separate team. I'm not even sure how much involvement MIyamoto had with the game!

Also here is a quote from Miyamoto himself regarding Zelda 2:

Quote
Superplay: The sequel, Zelda II: Adventures of Link was a very different game. Why was this? And why have you never done anything like it again?

Shigeru Miyamoto: It was my idea, but the actual game was developed by another team, different people to those that made the first game. Compared to Legend of Zelda, Zelda II went exactly what we expected... All games I make usually gets better in the development process, since good ideas keep coming, but Zelda II was sort of a failure...

Superplay: So that's why the third game looked like the first one?

Shigeru Miyamoto: Exactly. We actually see A link to the Past as the real sequel to Legend of Zelda. Zelda II was more of a side story about what happened to Link after the events in Legend of Zelda.

Too bad that even the creator of Zelda thinks it was sort of a failure as well. I'm sorry but the internet did not create all the bad opinions of the game, it was just that we heard from more people than our friends who probably have similar tastes. Sounds like some of Smash's hermit crabbing going on here!

I think Zelda II is just a love/hate kind of game. The game was a yawn for me, but then again, I played it much later and it could be that it just didn't age well, unlike LttP which was still fun years later.

And despite being "sort of" a failure, it sells 4.38 million in a day and age when you could return a game just for sucking.

Not sure where you could return it, I sure never experienced that. Regardless it was still mainly kids who got games for their birthdays, and probably had no intention of returning it regardless of quality. It is quite funny how you completely ignore the fact that the creator of the series said it was sort of a failure, and instead rant and rave about how the internet community is what started Zelda 2 hate. If the creator himself is dissapointed with how it turned out, that should tell you that much of the hate is probably warranted. Not to mention the fact that it was more of a side game, and not meant to be a true Zelda game being developed by a totally different team and released within a year. Not to mention the last time I checked sales do not indicate quality "The Matrix" video game anyone?

How so? I know some elements from Zelda 2 were used again, but the game shares little to no resemblance to the 3D Zeldas. For one it had lives, two it was a RPG/adventure/platformer hybrid with almost RPGish battle scenes (the mini levels when you encounter an enemy), you also could level up, and more importantly it could not decide what exactly it wanted to be by switching between overworld and side scrolling sections. The game felt like an unpolished mess that could have benefitted greatly by 3 things:

1. Actually having Miyamoto and the lead designers work on it instead of some side team
2. More time in development
3. More of a focus or direction

If there is a game that shares the most resemblence to the 3D games it was LTTP which incorporated a much wider area to explore, consistent design choices, inclusion of two different worlds, emphasizing using weapons found in dungeon to fight bosses, puzzle designs, amongst other things.

This is Nintendo. Didn't Miyamoto say Mario was a failure at some point because Tomagachi did better? The game sold less then the first Zelda so of course that is what the creator will say.
I think it gets so much hate because it is different from the many Zelda games that have since came out, especially for newer Zelda players that went back to play it.

Thank you. You said it better then I wanted to.

Too bad that even the creator of Zelda thinks it was sort of a failure as well. I'm sorry but the internet did not create all the bad opinions of the game, it was just that we heard from more people than our friends who probably have similar tastes. Sounds like some of Smash's hermit crabbing going on here!

This is Nintendo. Didn't Miyamoto say Mario was a failure at some point because Tomagachi did better? The game sold less then the first Zelda so of course that is what the creator will say.
I think it gets so much hate because it is different from the many Zelda games that have since came out, especially for newer Zelda players that went back to play it.

Or perhaps it is because the game was rushed out the door, was more of an after, made by a completely separate team (missing key members), was not directed by MIyamoto, dissapointed Miyamoto (It was not because of sales, if you read his exact quote he said most games get better through development but Zelda 2 didn't and that is why he considers it a failure).

I'm sorry but people didn't just dislike the game because it was "different", instead there were and are legitamate concerns expressed by not only those who played it but Miyamoto himself, that should tell you that this crap about "internet caused the game to get bad publicity" is just that, crap. So you enjoy the game, fine, great for you. But realize that there are legitimate reasons and yes VALID arguments as to why the game was not up to Nintendo's normal standards, it wasn't the internet. Anyone with an open mind can see that are a myriad of reasons why the game was poorly regarded. There is absolutely no basis for this argument that people only disliked Zelda 2 because it "different", unless you mean different, as in QUALITY. In fact, I would love to see some proof that Zelda 2 was highly cherished by most gamers of that time instead of circumstantial evidence and that the big mean internet is what made it look bad (just like the big mean internet did to Kid Icarus. OH WAIT now that I think about it the internet helped propel Kid Icarus, further into classic status). I provided my own proof that the design process itself is suspect, and the creator himself was dissapointed

I would really like to see that supposed quote from Miyamoto about Mario, even if it is true I'm sure he is specifying sales NOT THE GAME ITSELF. As was shown here, sales were relatively high but still Miyamoto was dissapointed with the direction (which is understandable because he had little to do with the game, and it was created more as a quick spin off by a new team to capitalize on LoZ popularity) that he dumped it almost completely and went back to a design similar to LoZ, that should tell you something.

This is one thing I do not like, just because you may like a game does not mean that those who dislike it aren't holding that viewpoint only because it is "different". Sure, at times that may be true, and perhaps other more popular games people detract from it to stand out, but many times there are legitimate design choices that make it ::GASP:: an average or sub par game for many gamers. I think Zelda 2 falls under this category, the hate didn't develop because people were being big meanies, but they had legitimate gripes about how the game turned out like I did. It wasn't because it was different, but it felt for alot of us to be unpolished, rushed, and yes like it didn't hold the "Magic" of the other Zelda games.

I felt it didn't have this magic LONG before I knew Miyamoto had little to do with it, now it makes even more sense coupled with the fact it was made by a new design team with key members excluded and was on a tight deadline. But hey if you like it, great, even the most average games may find some love from people (And I've experienced the same), but don't discount all those that dislike it as internet created Zelda 2 haters who don't like "different" games, because that is absurb and frankly false. You'd have to be closed minded to not realize how scattershot the design was in the game, it didn't seem to know what it wanted to be and more of an experiment. Yeah some of the sidescrolling sections were fun, but they were also overly simple with little in the way of puzzles and relied more on hack n slash. If I were to give a review score to the game it would be 5/10, it is dead average, not really excelling at anything with some noticeable design flaws.

Let me quote what he said exactly to put to bed that he was regarding sales

Quote
All games I make usually gets better in the development process, since good ideas keep coming, but Zelda II was sort of a failure...

Surprise nothing about sales making it a "failure" it was the development process and good ideas emerging that ended up being a failure.

Post by: KDR_11k on March 21, 2007, 08:36:17 PM: AoL has lots of flaws and isn't very fun to play but most of the flaws were staple design patterns at the time (Metroid, for example, exhibits many of the same flaws including repetitive rooms and awful respawn rules). I didn't like it much but it's not some super-crappy game, it's par for the time it was released in.

I think a better game with roughly similar design is Gargoyle's Quest on the GB, it, too, has an overworld with random encounters, towns and dungeons but the dungeon parts are on par with good jump and runs, unlike AoL's pretty weak sidescrolling parts.

Obviously you read nothing I said, I don't really "hate" the game but I think it is ridiculous to say people don't like because of the internet or because it is different. BTW I am not a "he" so that is 2 strikes against you.

While i'd debate the "isn't very fun to play" part, but I'll certainly concede that there are better Zelda's. The ending is certainly weak and nothing to write home about, but then neither was LoZ's either. It's kind of a critical game though, I mean, it's where we find out about the triforce of courage. You can't very well have many of the other Zelda's without introducing the triforce of courage first.

Probably the best part of Zelda 2 was that it had one of the best "Game over" screens of a Zelda game. You felt like you truly failed when Ganon is brought back to life. BTW I don't think Metroid 1 has aged very well either, but at least it felt consistent in design, that it knew what it wanted to be.

P.S. I am still getting Zelda 2 when it comes out on VC because I want the complete Zelda collection.

The thing I find really interesting though is that if you finish the game, defeat your shadow, and save Zelda ... It logically follows that Gannon was never brought back to life. So where does Gannon in Link to the Past come from? I've always just said, well it's an alternate Hyrule and not the same as in LoZ or Zelda II. But many of the other Zelda's have connections to other Zelda's even if they are indirect and/or conflicted mostly. So why wouldn't Zelda II and LttP have a connection? (I like trying to piece together the Zelda time line(s))

Who says it necessarily has to be consistent? I specifically like Zelda II because it is different. Not that I think LttP is boring or run again or that I think leveling up or lives and 1-up's are necessarily a good idea for Zelda... But I like when I can play with Nintendo characters in new ways.

You can also probably find it pretty cheap now on GBA "NES Classics". I've actually got two copies of it, first one I bought used for $8 and the second I bought new for $10 when I found it on the shelf at Wal-mart.

I think it's pretty accepted that Zelda 1 and 2 are the last games in the timeline. It's debatable but I'm pretty sure the closest thing we have to a logical timeline is OOT, MM, TP,WW,ALTTP,LA,LOZ,AOL.

The way I look at it is that all Zelda games exist in different dimentions from each other where some things are the same but the majority of elements are different.

Did you look at the percentages rather than the actual numbers? Here are the percentages of total sales that came from Japan for the 3-D Zeldas.

20% - Ocarina of Time
22% - Majora's Mask
20% - Wind Waker
14% - Twilight Princess

Japan's sales for Wind Waker are right in line with the previous games. You have to remember that Japan has a much smaller population than America.

I still wonder about this supposed document Miyamoto brings up every now and then that supposedly has the complete story. My guess is that some of the Zelda's take place after the OOT time split (I believe this was confirmed that TP takes place in an alternate future and Wind Waker in another).

Wait, what is this Magic of Scheherazade, I may want to beat it up.

The way I look at it is that all Zelda games exist in different dimentions from each other where some things are the same but the majority of elements are different. Kinda like that movies "The One" with Jet Li. The Zelda games exist in a "multiverse".

I still wonder about this supposed document Miyamoto brings up every now and then that supposedly has the complete story. My guess is that some of the Zelda's take place after the OOT time split (I believe this was confirmed that TP takes place in an alternate future and Wind Waker in another).

I confirmed it, thank you, Japan hates Zelda.

Speaking of all this Zelda talk... Does anyone know yet, what version of OoT the Virtual Console OoT is? Is it the sanatized version where Gannondorf cough up green blood? Is the mirror shield bare? Does the desert temple play the original tune?

Or is it the original gold cart version?

Post by: Ian Sane on March 22, 2007, 11:17:41 AM: "I still wonder about this supposed document Miyamoto brings up every now and then that supposedly has the complete story."

There's no way such a document exists. The timeline is so full of inconsistencies that they have to be making it up as they go. If Nintendo had a grand plan for Zelda do you think they would allow completely illogical stuff like Death Mountain, Kakariko Village and Lake Hylia hopping 'n' skipping to different locations of the map in different games? Would they allow the Capcom Zeldas to have all sorts of characters and references from the other games just showing up whereever? What about the difference in appearance of Zoras? Or the super sped up evolution in Wind Waker, let alone the world destroying flood that seems to have no effect on games in the later timeline?

If Nintendo had a full timeline planned out ahead of time I figure it only covered the first six games or so and they've since be making it up as they go. After all they couldn't really plan how many Zelda games they would want to make and I imagine they don't have a firm date where the series will end. It's too much of a cash cow to put a cap on it like that. Plus having a firm document to follow gives them less flexibility so they likely wouldn't be able to completely change styles between two games on the same console like they did on the Cube.

Post by: Kairon on March 22, 2007, 11:50:45 AM: This talk about some sort of "Official" Zelda timeline is all well and good, but the fact is that it ISN'T Zelda. Zelda's not about this sort of thing at all. It's a great topic and a great curiousity, but... Zelda is NOT a continuous story, it's the same archetypal, mythical, essential tale of epic adventure re-imagined and re-lived down through the ages. It's timeless destiny, it's simple heroism, and it's above all this.

Post by: Guitar Smasher on March 22, 2007, 02:32:28 PM: Pretty much. I like Zelda being one all encompassing game with each release. I find that whenever it attempts to reference any past games in attempts of a more cohesive story, the individual game suffers a little. Not that little references aren't to its detriment, in fact I adore them, notably the subtle musical references.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on March 23, 2007, 05:31:02 AM: "Is that a record?"

Well I imagine around 1987 or so it wouldn't be uncommon for games on the NES to take up the entire top 50.

"You know I wouldn't mind playing another Zelda done like 2."

I think the concept has some potential with better technology. A lot of what I dislike about Zelda II are things I dislike about most NES games. The game is made harder because of the limiting design. Poor translation makes it harder to figure out what to do. Enemies are harder because Link's sword is about as long as a fork. It's like how I hate Metroid but love Super Metroid. The extra little bit of polish that the 16-bit era added made the series more enjoyable. Zelda II's formula would benefit from a dose of user-friendliness that just wasn't common in the 8-bit era.

Just so you know, that site is sourceing VGCharts.com and not Nintendo. VGCharts is far from official and is run independently by two number hording NeoGAF forum users. They are alot more reliable than nextgenwars.com, but it is still unkown how they come up with alot of their newer #'s.

We know that they have access to the Famitsu & Media Create charts (like the ones posted here) and they also have access to the NPD charts (which have recently been put on lockdown), but it is also know that they do a lot of extrapolating of their own since none of thier #'s match any of the official sources listed above. *sometimes their #'s change after offical #'s are released*

In other words, VGCharts is a good source of finding very unofficial #'s for discussion purposes, but don't take anything from that site as definative unless confirmed by an official source.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Smash_Brother on March 26, 2007, 07:44:28 AM: Yeah, Nextgenwars and VGCharts disagree pretty heavily in their numbers, with NGW citing the 360 as being over 10 million and the PS3 and Wii showing at roughly a million less while VGC lists the 360 at a million less while placing the PS3 and Wii a million higher.

That's a noteworthy deviation in figures.

I am sure Nintendo will have a press release sometime in early April announcing how they successfully meet their goals and surpassed them.

What is more incredible is to begin to imagine how many units Nintendo will sell if they are able to keep this sales rate up for the rest of year or even improve upon it. The Wii could become like the DS.

Remember, the number of Wiis sold is only going to go up as more games are released for it.

Also, Japan bought PS2s every week as though the system had launched that week. I see the Wii being in the same boat. Even if they overproduce, they're still going to sell out of the stock.

Better yet, have a few 3rd parties like Capcom and Konami close up shop or get bought out.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on March 28, 2007, 10:57:10 AM: It's a shame that the Cube titles that had the best potential for selling systems came out so late in the console's life. RE4 and Twilight Princess both would have been huge had they been released earlier on when the Cube wasn't already stamped as a failure with no future. In the end neither game even ended up being an exclusive and the effect on Cube sales was non-existent.

The third parties don't need to learn that good games sell better than bad ones. They don't care anyway since if another console allows them to sell crappy games as well as good games they'll just go there. Who wants to earn their money when there's an option that provides the same results (or better) with laziness? If someone was going to pay you the same amount of money to run a marathon or sleep which would you pick?

Third parties need to know that games PERIOD will sell on the Wii be they good or bad. If the good ones sell better then that can hopefully encourage better games but third parties really just want all of their titles to sell well regardless of whether they deserve to or not. I want a situation where one makes decent money on crappy games but makes exceptional money on great games. So no one bails because they have to *gasp* make an effort while at the same time no one purposely slacks off because quality makes no difference.

That's what the console market leader gets.

The PS2 had all of the games because devs knew that even crap games could sell on it because of the sheer userbase alone, but the big selling titles also sold huge which meant that quality was generally rewarded with higher sales.

That means 1/4 of the people that bought a Wii over there bought Zelda. People only think Zelda isn't doing well because it's not in the top 30 but what it's been doing is hovering within the 40-50 spot these last several months, where it's pulling in small but steady numbers every week.

In other words, Twilight Princess is popular among the Japanese gamers as well. Not as popular as in America and Europe, but still popular none the less.

3rd party home console support was going to the market leader, the PS2.

Of course, Manhunt 2 and No More Heroes should also play into it, but those aren't out yet.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on March 29, 2007, 08:57:26 AM: I dont think the Godfathers sales will have much to do with anything. All that matters is for the Wii to become the market leader and then we'll have alot of M rated games coming this way.

The whole seeing how well an M rated games sells excuse was just abunch of sh!t that third parties used last gen so they wouldn't have to support the Gamecube. That's why most of the M rated games were crappy ports of year old games that had no chance of selling in the first place. Companies never wanted to support the Gamecube and so looked for any reason they could not to support it. And so by making sure their crappy games sold like crap, it allowed them to use the BS that was M rated games dont sell on Nintendo consoles.

The Wii on the other hand is GOING to become the market leader and have the largest user base. With Nintendo now running the show, third parties will have no choice but to start supporting the Wii more heavily and that includes bring their M rated games as well. Unless they hate money and are run by idiots like Capcom, they'll have to support the Wii with all they have.

Considering how well the Wii is selling right now, it'll easily surpass the 360's sales this summer around the time of E3. Which is why I'm saying there's going to be alot of big announces this E3 because third parties now know that the Wii is where the money is. This will inturn, give Nintendo a strong M rated lineup of games that will finally destroy there kiddy image once and for all which will finally make the 10-16 year olds feel OK to consider Nintendo cool.

And with Nintendo considered cool by the teenage audience, a huge and diverse line-up of games, and the ultimate killer-app (either Mario Galaxy or Smash Bros Brawl), this fall is going to be NINTENDOMINATION. After that, Microsoft and Sony will never be able to catch up.

That's still more than the Wii's launch price, what will the Wii and the X360 cost at that point? The PS3 is no threat to the Wii. Hell have you seen the PS3 release schedule in Japan? It's N64 like.

3rd parties didn't support Gamecube because they didn't need to and it wasn't worth the effort or money to do so. Almost everything sold better on PS2 and Xbox. Instead of bothering with a Gamecube version, they could use those resources to support PS2/Xbox more and gain more profits that way. It just made sense not to support Gamecube.

Take Smash Bros. for example (although this isn't the best example, it's the first one that comes to mind). There wasn't a lot of hype when it first came out on the N64. There weren't enormous expectations or a planned world-wide launch. But the game was fun, and sold a lot. Smash Bros. was just begging for a sequel, and we got one that was even more successful. Melee is probably one of, if not the best selling game on Gamecube (and the numbers are quite respectable even when compared with games across all different platforms). And now everyone's waiting with bated breath for Brawl, which is the third installment in what has become a flagship franchise in its own right.

Yes, the example above is a first-party game. But still, with all the support that the Wii is garnering from third parties (esp. compared with last generation), it's more likely than not that something is going to emerge. And even if it's developed by Nintendo, in the end, it'll still drive sales and provide a compelling reason for people to buy the system.

I know that making a killer franchise isn't a formulaic, or even predictable process. You don't make the next monumental game by following a secret recipe. But I'm still inclined to believe the best, especially with so many people working on designing games. There have to be at least a few talented folks within the crowd, with their own super cool ideas waiting to see the light of day.

That's why Aonuma is talking about Four Swords and WiFi in Phantom Hourglass: Nintendo knows the series is in a decline...at least in Japan. I believe the rest of the world would follow, but as with DS, Nintendo is disrupting the market worldwide before it even has a chance to deteriorate like it did in Japan.

This is a bit depressing for the sentimental gamer as Zelda is one of the best franchises of its era, but I think it's the way things are going. The next Wii Zelda will (probably) be quite different from the other 3D ones.

I'd argue that Wii Sports is the first killer app for the system, or else it's the prototype for the first one...Wii Health or Fitness or whatever it winds up being called.

We've already got million sellers in both Wii Sports and Wii Play, but the next step up is to get some solid middle-performing games on the charts. Realistically, most games only expect to sell 100k units and call that a success, but I'd like to see a couple more 200k or 300k unit game sales up there, and more Wii games in the top 50 overall.

Post by: Ian Sane on March 30, 2007, 11:55:01 AM: "Nintendo knows the series is in a decline...at least in Japan."

My solution to this would be f*ck Japan and continue making great Zelda games because they're still popular in American and even if the rest of world no longer likes games with challenge, depth, or, you know, quality Zelda has a big enough fanbase to be profitable. It's like how new Iron Maiden albums don't get mainstream airplay (at least not where I live) but they have a strong enough fanbase that the albums sell well anyway and the tours sell out. Not everything has to be targeted at the mainstream.

Plus I only found TP to feel similar because Nintendo made it so. I didn't like the art style or the big sea of nothing in Wind Waker BUT it at least felt new. TP is way too similar to Ocarina of Time to the point that the areas are pretty much exactly the same. That was entirely in Nintendo's control. There's no rule that they had to do that. They can make Hyrule as different for each game as they want to.

But then I just personally don't want Zelda significantly altered because of flakey Japanese game market groupthink. If you don't like Zelda you're an idiot so screw off and play the sh!tty games you do like. This goes for anything I like. If you don't like the TV shows I watch or the music I listen to or the games I play I don't care. Go find something you do like instead of changing what I like.

Post by: Sessha on March 30, 2007, 01:00:42 PM: Of course the series does not sell as well since the tastes are vastly different then the U.S. but being narrow minded enough to say "Since you don't like Zelda then you must be off playing a crappy game" Some people simply do not like games in that genre. As long as you can give an objective view to a game if it's good or bad and cite reasons then your opinion is valid.

But of course Zelda is going to change but because of "flakey" japanese game market groupthink" is so unlikely
Most games have an underlying formula and of course Zelda has one. If it ain't broke don't fix it comes to mind, Some things may be tweaked to appeal to certain gamers. The game sells best in the U.S. I doubt Nintendo would be stupid enough to pull a "New Coke" manuever. "Attention Link is now Korean" (I'm korean and worried about potential racial backlash used my own as to not offend anyone else" Nothing short of an act of god would change something in the series so drastically it does not feel like a Zelda game.

Having your own tastes and opinions is what make us human but belittling someone else for not having the same mindset is ignorant.

Post by: Kairon on March 30, 2007, 02:07:20 PM: Agreed Sessha. That's a remarkably alienating and isolationist view there Iansane, and not business savvy or mass market at all. Especially since you've accused Nintendo of having exactly that same mindset, except in the opposite direction with traditionalist gamers like you as the people being told to "screw off."

I have to agree with Ian about the Wii. Just look at the history of how the Wii came into existence.
I can't shake the nagging feeling that Nintendo's entire mindset was to retake Japan even if it ment losing
other markets. The Wii is the epidome of Japanese "groupthink".

How many people know story behind "New Coca-Cola"? Time for a history lesson in the next post.

Oh yeah, the Wii's SO Japanese that it isn't selling around the world. Nintendo's losing A LOT of market because they decided to go towards the Japanese market first and foremost. What was Nintendo thinking?! Paying attention to their HOME MARKET?! THE NERVE! I mean, they care so much about Japan that they didn't even bother doing a worldwide release for the Wii!

They are doomed!....DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!

OK, now that I got the sarcasm out of my system, its time for some REAL feedback.

Yeah, its true that the Wii was created in order to attract more gamers in Japan, but to say that Nintendo was willing to lose other markets is rather extremist.

In anything, the Wii is perhaps the most UNIVERSALLY appealing system on the market. Not to mention that Nintendo provided a worldwide launch and has gotten support from all sorts of developers while still keeping in touch with what that region wants (Japan=more casual, lighthearted games, US=more games period).

And finally, Nintendo want to change gaming PERIOD. Gaming in terms of creativity was in a bad slump. Sure, games were selling but in terms of creativity and evolution they were severely behind, stuck in the mentality that "graphics=next gen evolution". Nintendo want to TRULY move the industry and thus both the DS and the Wii were born, and thanks to them the industry is flying higher than ever.

And don't think those "casual" are only selling in Japan. Nintendogs, Brain age and many other games took off in other areas greatly. So again, the games may have been created with a Japanese audience in mind, but the final result is something that EVERYONE can understand and enjoy. THAT'S what Nintendo wants with the DS and the Wii.

I'm sorry, but that claim of yours is very ignorant. And I agree with what everyone else has said. Ian, I know you are known as the 'doubter" of the forums, but do you HAVE to belittle everyone who doesn't share your views? Maybe YOU doubt the Wii and Nintendo so much that you don't care about some of the stuff, but that doesn't mean the rest of us follow the same mentality. So, be the better man and LEARN to control that angst of yours.

You are too soft, you know that? Just don't bitch about it if you fail to get some Wiis on Sunday .

And didn't your parents had one already, the second one you got at launch? What made her want to get one again?

Well, I know that he has been working since he was 11 or something. Supposedly, he has some money saved up for any future emergencies or plans (which I hope he isn't using to buy all these Wiis). I can't tell you how much he makes in a week (since I never dared to ask), but my estimate is around 300 dollars minimum - 400 dollars maximum a week, depending on how his family business is doing (again, I may be severely wrong).

When he was living with his parents, he didn't have any personal budget. But after he moved out with the other friends, he had to pay for part of the rent (which is around 1,000 plus a month), internet, water, heat, Gamefly subscription and electricity as well as buy food, clothing, entertainment (going to bars for drinks, the movies and dinner) and such, so I am guessing a sum of his paycheck goes toward that.

Believe me when I say that I too am baffled with the amount of Wiis he has bought (especially since the last time I came to visit he was somewhat upset about the budget and we had an argument about it). However, take into consideration this:
- The first Wii he reserved (at Gamestop) was paid for by selling ALL of his Gamecube/GBA collection (including extra games, controllers, consoles and such). So you can subtract some money off the total tally.
- His younger brother bought the second Wii he got at launch
- I'm SURE he asks for payment if the person asked him to buy a Wii as a favor. Him being Italian, I'm SURE he demands the payment
- Again, since he's Italian, I'm sure he beats the crap out of the store employees and forces them to give him the Wiis
- He isn't afraid to spend extra money for friends and family
- He might be using his savings to buy the Wii (which I hope he isn't)

Once again, I may be severely wrong. SB's my best friend and all, but I simply don't like to ask people about personal income and their spending fees. Feels rude, honestly.

Was my info accurate, though?

I am just using info you posted around NWR (as well personal experience), so I may be off in some cases.

I am 100% sure that the first Wii you got was paid by selling all your GC and GBA stuff, and that your brother bought the second Wii you got. Everything else I am still not sure of.

As for your Wii hunting, SB, the date is a REALLY bad one to do so. I REALLY hope that Walmart isn't pulling a joke by saying they are getting Wiis at 6:00 AM. I would recommend killing people if it turned out to be a joke...

That must be a personal record! Seriously, you must like the Wii so much that you were willing to buy it for multiple people as both favors and presents.

I'm sure that if the Wii has been yet another typical console, you wouldn't go through this trouble.

But I can't wait to see people in the bar take notice the first time we play it there. I'm going to offer to print up fliers for the guy and go around stapling them to telephone poles, announcing the tournaments every wed or so.

The fliers will say, "Can't find it in stores? Come play it here! Wii Love Wedensdays!"

Also, I've finally seen how nice the Wii looks in widescreen on my parents' TV. Now I just need to get a component cable for them...

This says roughly 6.5 million while....

This says almost 6 million.

Those numbers seem close, but they're really not, especially when it places the gap between Xbox360 anywhere from 3-5 million units.

This is why I normally don't follow sales info. Who's numbers are correct? Nintendo wanted to ship 6 million by the end of March. Did they meet that goal? Did they sell every unit shipped? In my area, there isn't a Wii in stores anywhere, but is it sold out worldwide?
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 02, 2007, 06:13:30 PM: First of all, don't take either of those number as fact, especially Nextgen wars.

Secondly, according to Nintendo they exceeded that 6 million mark as of about 1 week ago.

NPD, Media Create & Famitsu are the only 3 sources of #'s that we take as official (MC more so than Famitsu). We don't have any solid hardware #'s for Europe, so I'm not sure what we're supposed to about that other than take VGCharts word for it.

Set the Wii up, make some Miis, load Wii Sports. That should do it.

If the guys don't want it, I suggest you demand the money or else the place will suffer an "unfortunate" accident.

I ask because organizing tournaments can be somewhat hard sometimes, and if they expect you guys to organize tournaments every week then its going to be hard.

Sometimes you may not be hungry or thirsty and you would have just worked for free. Besides it would be better to get paid and then have the money to buy that stuff if you choose to. You would probably get an employee discount anyway, since you technically are working for the bar.

The thing is that it is my understanding that SB and crew are good friends with the owner, so they might do him the favor and don't ask for payment. Consider it they helping him out and make sure that their fave nightclub/bar stays around for a while.

But I agree that if the owners start demanding too much and expect them to pour their time into setting tournaments and such, then yeah, some monetary compensation is good. But like I said, it is my belief that they have a good relationship with the owner so I doubt it will go to the extremes.

As for the issue, I wouldn't see the need to ask for compensation for hosting a tournament once a week, but if it came to the point where we were pouring time into it, then yes, I'd have to opt out.

I ask because you went and got him a Wii for the bar.

You wouldn't do that for just a random person unless you had a decent understanding of them.

I expected that this was mainly for personal gain.

Like I said, this would help Nintendo a bit establishing the Wii on mainstream places.

It sounds like you want a club Smash. Well if you want I'll put it up on the NWR Facebook page as an event if you like.

Not until you can find a Wii in, you know, stores.

As for the event, I wouldn't bother advertising on the net. I think advertising in town is a better bet, considering this is the target audience, as well as advertising in local Gamestops. Thanks for the offer, though.

Just wondering. Didn't know if the angst humor was aimed at me or at Nintendo, hence why I ask.

I really gotta fix my sarcasm/humor detector...
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Smash_Brother on April 04, 2007, 12:59:45 PM: It's hard to have one on the internet so no one will blame you for that.

But yeah, people can try the Wii all they want, but one of the points of having one was actually that you can't buy it in stores but you could try it at the bar.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Artimus on April 04, 2007, 09:22:52 PM: What's with the third party thing? It was interesting the first week but now it's kind of odd...
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 04, 2007, 09:50:49 PM: I thought it would be more intersting to see how 3rd parties are selling on the Nintendo platforms, cause just a blank chart seems kinda dull. I didn't want to just bold the Wii and/or DS software, cause it would be less work to bold the Sony or MS stuff instead. Besides I don't see whats so wierd about it.

Would you* rather I just leave it blank?

*by "you" I mean everyone that reads this thread.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread

Post by: couchmonkey on April 05, 2007, 09:18:43 AM: BNM: I like the third party thing. Honestly, when I see the top 30 elsewhere, it's like, "Oh yeah, DS creams everything, Wii and PS2 do well too, nothing new to see", so it's cool to notice another angle.

Lately the only other interesting thing about the chart was that Monster Hunter game, and it's about to fall out of the top 10, returning us to our regularly scheduled Nintendo-fest.

In other news, it will be nice to see the Wii crack 2 mil in next week's data.

I honestly doubt that SB and crew will demand a payment of some sort, since its mostly for THEIR personal gain.

I'm sure they will ask for a fee if the owners start demanding too much (like they demand that the crew set up the tournaments every week and want a lot of effort put into it).

But at the moment, it looks like they are doing this to help a local haunt out, not to seek any monetary reward from it.

BTW, you mentioned earlier that you are giving SB this advice because of past experience. What did you do?
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 07, 2007, 09:43:59 PM: I tried to help a semi-local bar where a friend worked by helping to get the place filled. It had been open for months, yet the place always stayed relatively empty and I wanted my friend to keep his job. So I helped promote by getting all of my friends to go there and pass out flyers at the other more local bars. Eventually, a few weeks later, the place was consistantly packed 2 of 3 nights out of the week. Once I realized that promoting was taking up quite a but of my time, and not to mention my gas, I asked to get some compensation for my time and efforts(he was doing a lot business now that I <and others> helped out). He paid me once, gave me hook-ups on drinks twice, and then pretty much pretended like I didn't help him get to the successful thurs-sat. nights that he still enjoys to this day.

[rant] It got so bad that once when I was there, someone stole my drink and he wouldn't even replace it, he just said "what am I supposed to babysit your drink?". Just so you know we couldn't take our drinks outside to the smoking area, so I had to leave it on a table infront of the bouncer, when I came back 2-3 minutes later it was gone, hardly my fault. I pleaded with the bartender who then gave me a replacement drink, which was then knocked out of my hand by some drunk chick, and the bar owner still wouldn't replace my drink. So I stopped going there and made sure all of my friends that frequented the spot(which was about 15-20% of the crowd on any of those 3 days), stopped going there too. That move coincedentally coincided with the pull of support from the guy who helped pull in all the people from the very local college in that same city(I lived a couple of cities over, where I did my flyering). His friends were about 50-70% of who was there on any given night, which meant that now the club was dead again. It eventually picked back up a couple of months later when things with the college kids worked themselves back out, but only just recently got back up to the levels of success that they enjoyed way back when things were good.[/rant]

Moral of the story:
Helping out may help you get laid,
but looking back, you'll be glad you got paid.

So I stopped going there and made sure all of my friends that frequented the spot(which was about 15-20% of the crowd on any of those 3 days), stopped going there too. That move coincedentally coincided with the pull of support from the guy who helped pull in all the people from the very local college in that same city(I lived a couple of cities over, where I did my flyering). His friends were about 50-70% of who was there on any given night, which meant that now the club was dead again. It eventually picked back up a couple of months later when things with the college kids worked themselves back out, but only just recently got back up to the levels of success that they enjoyed way back when things were good.[/rant]

Moral of the story:
Helping out may help you get laid,
but looking back, you'll be glad you got paid.

I see. So you fear that SB and crew's favor will explode in their faces and the owner will ignore the fact that they went through the trouble of getting the Wii, setting it up, creating and promoting tournaments and eventually helping the bar get even more people in.

Well like I said, the guys know the owner a bit, and I'm sure that if they are spending way too much time on this they will either drop it or demand compensation.

Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 08, 2007, 07:28:25 AM: I may have left out a few details, just to shorten the story.

Well I Kinda knwe the owner too, and he needed help getting people in there, I offered to do it for very little compensation at first, but once it started takig up a good chunk of my time, I asked for more compensation to which he agreed to. But then once it came time to pay, he tried to make up excuses why he shouldn't have to, even though it was clear that most of the people in there were the direct result of mainly two people, and he wasn't paying the other guy, the one that went to the local college.

The point is, that I got stiffed once things took off and they were able to maintain w/o me, the other guy got beat up by the bouncers one night for being way too drunk and not leaving voluntarily, but the difference is that I atleast got paid for my efforts before everything went south for the winter.

and for the summary:

Bar is empty, needs help getting people in.
Local college guy with lots of friends help by bringing friends and passing out flyers for free
Not as local me brings my fiends and passes out flyers for small compensation (free/discounted drinks)
Bar gets busier, starting to gain popularity
promoting took more effort than I previously thought, asked for more compensation, which was agreed upon
bar gets really busy, Owner attempts to stiff me on compensation

3 months later the other guy get thrown out of bar and then beat up for not staying out
I get tired of getting jerked around by the owner, we both pull our support, bar attendence takes a nose dive.
several months later they repair communications with the other guy, some people come back.
my friend asked me a favor, so I came back temporarily, brought a few friends.
remembered why I quit going there, haven't been back since.
But atleast I got paid.

Post by: Smash_Brother on April 08, 2007, 08:21:46 AM: I'll definitely be keeping my eye on the situation, BNM, and I'm sorry it went so badly for you.

The one other thing I have going for me is that I'm the one who will be organizing/hosting the tournaments so they will continue to need me. Plus, I only plan to really "promote" the bar once via fliers. After that, I'll still show up to host tournaments but that could be done by them if I decide to opt out of it.

To be honest, at that point in time I wasn't really a smoker, and I don't think I went out there to smoke, but more to talk to one of the girls that went outside. I have since then quit smoking, 6+ months and counting, *please keep the applause down* and have stopped going out to the bars as often.

But anyway, SB I'm glad you got everything worked out, and even if you don't take my advice, make sure that however things turn out you make sure that if and/or when it ends(for you) that it works out to have all been to your benefit.

I never met two of my grandparents because of smoking. I am applauding.

I realize that I might wind up learning a hard lesson here, but I'm going to keep it short but sweet, do only two nights a week and just hang fliers up once. That's it.

I won't be directing people there personally, nor will I be continuously be their PR guy after the initial ads. Believe me when I say that my inherent distrust of people is still quite strong, so I'll be certain to draw the line if they ask for any more than what I volunteered.

We held the first Wii night tonight and it went splendidly. We basically had a group of 7-8 people who were just planning on staying for dinner playing all night, buying drinks while they did. The Wii more than proved itself in one single night. It was awesome.

I don't think I should have a problem if we do it two nights a week, but anything more than that will be a bit much.

And my grandmother spent the rest of their life with lung problems because of constant smoking. I too applaud the effort.

As for the Wii Night, congrats!

Great to know everything went fine. What nights are you doing the Wii Night thing? IE, on what days of the week?
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Artimus on April 08, 2007, 07:43:50 PM: As someone whose father died when he was seven due to lung cancer...I too applaud quitting smoking. I don't personally know how hard it is, but I know it's perhaps the hardest thing you'll ever do. So good on you! Plus, it's never too soon to quit (my father found out he had cancer a couple months after quitting).
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 08, 2007, 08:27:42 PM: i was never addicted, a quit cold turkey w/o much of a problem.
I would often emptty a pack out in one night if heavily drinking, but quite a few of those cigs would be given away to other people - "Better your lungs than mine".

I was mostly just a social smoker, so I never really had cravings unless someone else was smoking or I was drinking. I cut myself back to only smoking when drinking, then I quit drinking for a few weeks so that there would be no cravings for nicotine at all. Now if I even think about smoking(or hang around a smoker) my lungs will hurt (the next day), and that makes for a pretty strong reminder to NOT SMOKE. I feel better, I smell better(never really noticed how bad a smoker stinks), and can breathe easier. Its a good feeling and I encourage all my other friends to quit smoking too.

Hence like giving someone a player with no media they hope that the curiosity to use what they have will get them to purchase a Wii thus recooping their loss and enhancing there attach why they are Wiiless.

Its diabolical.

The attach rate is especially devastating for Sony when you figure there are twice as many Wiis out there, technically selling 4.5x the amount of software as PS3.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 13, 2007, 07:14:34 AM: I think it has more to do that the PS3 isn't really selling well anywhere, and when it does sell, its the 60GB model that sells first. It also doesn't hurt that the 60GB model provides a 'larger profit margin'(read: smaller loss margin) than the 20GB.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: nitsu niflheim on April 13, 2007, 07:24:19 AM: The problem with the 2 models of the PS3 is that if you buy the 20gb version you can't upgrade to get all the things you didn't get that the 60gb version has (wi-fi and the card reader stuff) where as the two models of the XBox 360 the system itself was the same, just that the core version didn't come with a HDD or wireless controllers, but you could buy both those things and turn your XBox 360 from a Core to a Premium.

Sony took so much time to make fun of Microsoft for releasing two version then turn around and release two versions of the PS3 and make it impossible to upgrade the cheaper one.

People bought the 60gb version over the 20gb version because of this, I'm sure.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: SixthAngel on April 13, 2007, 10:44:40 AM: At least when you get the low end ps3 you aren't required to buy extra memory cards that basically make the prices the same. If you don't have wireless internet I think the 500 model is a good choice. Honestly I think that once the price gets this high the the buyers don't really care about saving that extra 100 dollars because they are already spending so much already. I imagine the 500 model does make them lose significantly more money as well.

First off I'm not trying to outstage BnM. I appreciate what he does so much that I am trying to simplify his life. The above is generated from a program that I've been working on all day by accident. I started just doing little things to test some stuff out for a bigger program I'm doing for work. Next thing I knew it was the end of the work day and I had something that took the raw Media Create numbered list and generated this. Its alpha because there is no redundancy, exception handling, etc. I was just wondering what you guys think.

PS2, and DS sold 250,000, PSP sold 210,000, and PS3 sold a measly 165,000, tied with GBA (Nintendo, please KILL this beast!). Wii outsells PS3 2.4:1.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on April 13, 2007, 03:21:57 PM: Those numbers, Brandogg, are Michael Pachter's estimates, if I recall correctly. I don't think any of the systems will actually reach those predictions.

Why does Nintendo need to kill the GBA? It's not like they need to gain ground over the PSP... If a certain subsection of consumers don't want a DS yet (because it's more expensive) what's the harm in selling them a GBA? Some people don't need the latest and greatest.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on April 15, 2007, 10:27:29 AM: You know the parsing thing I'm working on. I'm giving it some cool features but they don't fully work because of the Japanese nature of the games. Then I got to thinking with the NPD numbers all of that sort of thing would be eliminated by virtue of the American numbers. I can't seem to find a list in there regular format so I can parse it and add the links. Also I wish those numbers came out weekly.

Would it be possible to get rid of the highlighting feature? I'm afraid it's really straining on the eyes when trying to look at the titles inbetween them.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on April 15, 2007, 11:55:51 AM: It wouldn't be that hard at all. Though I like the look of the highlight better then the underline alternative.

Edit: Scratch that I went back and looked at the new features I added to the parser... heres the legend for it as of right now.

Quote

Game- Nintendo System Third Party
Game- Nintendo System First Party
Game-Sony System
Game- Microsoft System

I'm using underline to symbolize Microsoft system games because I wanted it to be less one sided. I even thought about bolding the First party of theirs as well and thought it looked to confusing. If everyone would prefer I could ditch the underlining of Microsoft system, reallocate that to Third Parties, and keep Sony and Microsoft looking the same. In all actuality it would matter more on the NPD numbers but they don't give the publisher so I could use the scheme for that possibly if I get a copy of the numbers.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on April 15, 2007, 09:42:02 PM: Don't use bold or highlight, makes the whole thing hard to read.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 15, 2007, 10:24:43 PM: I don't think bold is bad at all, but highlights tends to be a little too much, thats why I only hihglighted the (Nintendo) or (Pokemon) as the 1st party publishers.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on April 16, 2007, 03:17:21 AM: *shrug*
I find it pretty easy to read but if you want it changed just let me know what you want it changed to. As mentioned before colors be best but we can't do that. I could mark them with a symbol to differentiate them but I think that would mess up the spacing.

Post by: 31 Flavas on April 16, 2007, 05:37:40 AM: Honestly, I think the chart is waaay to busy. The differentiation that bolding, italicizing, underlining, give is destroyed when everything is bolded, underlined, or italicized.

So just pick one or two things that should standout. Maybe you just want to italicize non-wii and non-DS games since they are more rare in the list. But, making weblinks out of the Publisher does look nice and helps them standout. (I think i'd get rid of the Wiki link)

Or making putting that link connected to the name of the game itself, 'cause the little "Wiki" thing to the side is a bit distracting (but I like being able to go to the entry fast).

I'm pretty sure the second number is the game's position on the previous chart.

Now that I got the data side by side Methinks your right. I'll fix it in the little parser.

If you click the YTube link on Professor Layton there is a trailer there and there is also a Wiki article about it from the Wiki link, Shorting Professor to Prof. messed it up originally. It looks to be an anime on the DS with Mystery Puzzle solving. Looks sort of intriguing to me.

Edit: It also seems to be the first part of a series and it has a GameStats page with links to a few previews.

Also Love and Berry Wiki

I know it ain't the same numbers as US and Europe ones, and the Wii series pretty much dominates Japan, but still, that ain't nothing to scoff about and is a good number, especially for a gamer series like Zelda.

But Ceric put so much effort into the auto parser. I admit, the charts a little too "busy" now and with ads on the side of the screen it doens't format quite right, but if you really want I can post the #'s the old way too.

Post by: Blue Plant on April 19, 2007, 07:18:29 AM: I'd love for there to be a survey done of current Wii owners in Japan to see what demographic they fit.

It certainly seems like most of them are of the new-gamer crowd with Wii Sports and Wii Play being the beefy sellers, though it would still be nice to know for sure. Wii Sports is great stuff that everyone can enjoy, but the lower numbers of Zelda, Pokémon, and even WarioWare baffle...

I think this would be fine, but instead of highlighting Nintendo as the developer. Just linkify the developers. It does make the developer stand out. No Mario M's no Luigi L's, I really think we can figure out who's first party or not.

Post by: couchmonkey on April 19, 2007, 01:53:51 PM: Seriously, PS2 is outselling everything, Wii is in second place (even with a noticeable game drought and hardware shortages) and Microsoft's answer is to release a new unit that costs more than the old ones? The people have spoken, they don't want $400+ game systems.

I think 360 has the potential to creep up there in North America now, Sony fans that need to feel cool and Sony/Nintendo fans that really want next-gen graphics are going to start noticing that you can get all that in 360, and at a much better price than the PS3...which is short on games and keeps losing exclusives to Microsoft. That said, the gap closage between 360 and Wii has more to do with supply than anything else, I mean, PS2 is #1.

Depends on how many are actually made available - its certainly a "limited edition" item. I doubt there is 200,000 of them made available or some huge number like that.

... the 120GB hard drive is tempting though ...

Post by: Kairon on April 19, 2007, 09:37:26 PM: The Wii selling only 259k or so during March in America makes perfect sense when you break that down into the five weeks of the NPD data collecting: 50k a week about. This has been the weekly shipment level quite a lot during Japan's March weeks.

In fact, it seems that Japan and America are getting quite even shipments! I'm sure there will be differences and such, but Japanese numbers seem as good a starting point as any when guesstimating US monthly shipments.

Currently, Japan is saving up for Golden Week, big shopping holiday of Christmas proportions. which will be the first week of May if I'm correct. We should probably expect a huge shipment of Wiis to hit then...

Anyways. I'm surprised the Gamecube sold 22,000. I figure it be totally dead.
Wow, on the GoW:2 #'s. (Though with as many pre-orders as Pokemon has if Nintendo ships enough units it may beat that number in half the time...)

It's baffling that a system with no new games can sell 75,000 five months after release before becoming a phoenominon. Even the DS wasn't that strong doing its initial quiet spell.

Someone needs to remake the prints money thing with Iwata instead of the DS.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 20, 2007, 06:09:44 AM: The Wii is a HOT commodity right now (along with DS of course), so everyone must own one or you cannot call yourself Japanese. Besides if you were gonna get one you should try to do so before the stupendously long lines that would occur during Golden Week, and since SPM just came out, the sooner you get yours the better.

If Nintendo keeps this controller shortage going for long enough, they can also keep Wii Play selling very well. I wouldn't be surprised if when they come out with new controller colors, they release new version of WiiPlay to go with them. WiiPlay 2.0 with more updated Atari games, and controller demos.

As far as the NPD #'s go though, there is not very much to discuss there other than the fact that PS2 beat the Wiii lolzers!!!111 but we all know the Wii is very supply constrained and Nintendo really needed to turn up their manufacturing power. We won't see what happens with that until April NPD, so the wait is back on. PS3 gets beat by the GBA again LOLZERS!!!1111oneone!!11 har har har. I'm almost starting to feel bad for what Sony has done to the Playstation brand. I'm very tempted to see the amount of hilarity that must be going on over at UK resistance with the release of these NPD #'s.

Post by: Kairon on April 21, 2007, 11:54:25 AM: I think we can garner even more U.S. game sales data from released charts...

This is the original source of the charts...

Here I'm posting the Wii portion...

Quote

And now the console charts, all of which are ranked by gross income.

...

Wii

1) Wii Play With Remote - $13,573,160 grossed; 272,919 units sold
2) Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 - $6,048,062 grossed; 121,428 units sold
3) Sonic And The Secret Rings
4) Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
5) Warioware: Smooth Moves
6) Cooking Mama: Cook Off
7) Rayman Raving Rabbids
8) SSX Blur
9) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - $1,454,085 grossed; 29,226 units sold
10) Call of Duty 3 - $1,114,600 grossed; 25,347 units sold

...

If you want to see more Data, like the PS2 charts, or the GC chart which shows that TP(GCN) sold another 45k units on that console in the month, or the XBox chart where Halo 2 sold 49k units, or the expansion-packed PC charts or the XBox360 chart or the PS3 chart where Godfather ranks at #8 even though it's not on the Wii chart... Follow the link to the original source!

That said, We finally get a glimpse of SSX Blur, Raving Rabbids and CoD3 are still sticking in there, I'm happy for Sonic and the Secret Rings, and I REALLY HOPE that EA advertises their games more... which is what some believe is holding back their sales of Godfather or SSX Blur.

23 million DS's sold this year (40m Lifetime). And 5.84 million Wii's.

They project to sell another 22 million DS's within the next year and 14 million Wii's.

...Which is to say that they expect to sell almost as many Wii's in 1.5 years as they did GameCube's in 5 years.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on April 26, 2007, 04:25:35 AM: SCHWEET. That would also probably put it slightly ahead of 360 unless Microsoft starts selling more fast.

Yay for Super Paper Mario! Can it hang on to the chart like Wii Sports and Wii Play? Probably not, it doesn't have the same "Wiiness" about it, but hopefully it'll manage a few weeks in the top 10 anyway.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on April 26, 2007, 07:13:53 AM: You know I just notice but the last two weeks Nintendo has had 21 games in the top 30 and Sony has had 9.

Also it seems one of the games had a weirdness in its title causing the parser to miss parse.

Fate/Stay Night (Realta Nua) is published by Kadokawa Shoten. Sorry about the inconvenience though I believe actual game link is for the right series upon looking at it. Pretty interesting actually I wouldn't mind reading it.

Older titles continued to sell well through the quarter, including Rainbow Six Vegas with 1.7 million sold to date; Rayman and Red Steel, which have sold 830K and 950K respectively; and The Petz series of games which sold 3.5 million during the fiscal year.

Well that should answer everyone's question about third party sales. Red Steel it set to hit the million mark anytime now and it looks like Rayman has a good chance of selling a million as well. This goes to show that Third Parties can do very well on the Wii.

Now hopefully since Ubisoft knows their games can sell well on a Nintendo system they'll finally increase the quality.

I think I read somewhere that Microsoft is going to have 200K units available at "launch" (source needed; maybe I'm making that up). Com'on Nintendo! Ramp up production and make it happen.

That is GREAT news for third party support. Hopefully we get better games now though. RedSteel's controls and gameplay and fun level design pales in comparison to both FarCry and Call of Duty.

Looks like PS3 is on a slow but steady decline. Next week is Golden Wiik, so its basically Sony's last chance to sell Japan on a PS3 before it's officially considered a failure, and the game they are bringing to the table is....... Madden '07. If Sony doesn't push a significant amount of PS3's out the door for next weeks charts (which we might not see for two weeks), then PS3 will be a "buy for a game, return after you beat it" system. Its no wonder KK has been slowly getting pushed out the door.

edit: Just incase no one noticed, the Wii has outsold all other consoles listed below it combined. Also the DS now has a 1million+ unit lead over the GBA and is rapidly closing in on the PS2.

Post by: couchmonkey on April 27, 2007, 05:32:13 AM: I'll give Sony to the end of the year to turn it around...at that point, I think it's too late to fix things in Japan.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Arbok on April 27, 2007, 03:15:45 PM: So the PS3 is in a slow decline... while the 360 also slumps compared to last week. Color me surprised. I figured there would be enough disfranchised Playstation fans to see the 360 rise a little in the country; however, these seem to be, primarly, jumping into the Wii camp.

Can't complain, though.

Post by: Ceric on April 28, 2007, 01:52:16 AM: The PSP was the only Non-Nintendo system that beat its last weeks figures.
Actually talking about the PSP did anyone else notice that year to date it has sold more then the PS2 and PS3 combined and it's only 5,316 units away from saling more then all Non-Nintendo Systems combined year to date in Japan. Thats not bad at all.

It's the 20 gig... Now if that was the 60 I might be more interested ($10 less and a controller)...

Edit: I like to have the wireless. Though if it drops another 10 or 20 I probably pick it up and just get a wireless bridge.

If it still had wireless yeah I have a spare Sata Drive I could just throw in... Its just a wireless bridge that will do b/g (I prefer b/g/n but n is to new.) costs ~$90 from what I found. So it be another $90 to get it online... That puts us at $580 I already own the PS2 Component cables I just have to find them. Then you get $50 off for the controller so it be $530, then a quick New Egg search yields that I can get a 250 Gig drive for ~$67 bringing me to $597. I guess in the end it still be "cheaper", though what I really want would be a 360 this would be the time to grab a PS3 it seems, before the hardware gets borked like in Europe.

It basically breaks down to:
Virtual Cost: $597 Actual Cost: $647 Maximum Cost (tax and like):~$712

or I could get a:

XBox 360 elite with:

This exciting Xbox 360 bundle features the Xbox 360 Elite System with HDMI and a larger 120 GB Hard drive, an extra controller, a play and charge kit, a LIVE 3 Month Gold Card, two games of your choice and a BONUS Microsoft Xbox 360 Messenger Bag...

For $684 though I still have to have the bridge. So it be $774 plus taxes and like. Though I be getting a system which has some games I actually want to play and I wasn't getting a on a promise and backward compatibility.

or I could grab a refurb 60 gig for $495. I could even upgrade the harddrive and I still come out ahead on that one...

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on May 01, 2007, 11:02:09 AM: I'm sure those probobly are quite accurate since we know people are buying the Wii like crazy. Now if everyone and their Grandma is getting a Wii, they're going to need games to play. And after they're done with those games they're going to need more games to play after that.

Unless it's the PSP which people seem to be buying without any games. I would include the PS3 in that statement as well, but no ones even buying that.

Post by: Kairon on May 01, 2007, 11:12:24 AM: I'm happy for Sonic! It's bombing in Japan... (WHYWHYWHY) ... but it's quite respectable over here!

And Cooking Mama seems to be doing GREAT! HAHAHAHAHA!

I haven't bought my copy of Bust-A-Moove... but I've actually been sorta turned off to it since you can't die in multiplayer if things reach the bottom. Screw that. LOST SALE Majesco! LOST SALE! I love you and all but... c'mon! ... still, 20k is a respectable number for that a title of that quality.

Prince of Persia's sales are surprisingly strong. Have people been compeltely fooled by the rename or have that many people actually not played it? It's much more successful than a game in a similar situation: The Godfather. (poor poor Godfather... *sniff*)

Is there really anything to buy in the way of 3rd party games? Honestly though I think it will take time before the Japanese buy 3rd parties, they still seem to be completely centered on Nintendo, but like NDS is showing that will change. America on the other, I think will be far more accepting of good 3rd party games (as is shown by some of the current sales).

I'm too lazy to go looking through, but I think the DS topped out at 8 or 9 of the top 10 itself, and didn't have any help getting those last few. The Wii though has done that, or so it would seem at this point.

No, third party games that don't recieve the same amount of attention in development as if they were being created for the PS2 don't sell on Nintendo systems. The fact that a large section of those games are ports or are dumbed down adaptations of Xbox/PS franchises doesn't mean that high-quality stuff created specifically for Nintendo (see Gyakuten Saiban 4) won't do business.

Looks like Nintendo takes the Top 16 of the Top 20 for a total of 18 of the Top 20 and 22 of the Top 30. Now that is what we call Nintendomination!

Lol, even the 360 managed to slip 2 titles into the Top 30 where the PS3 is no where to be found. Not bad for a dead system even though its direct competition is on life support as we speak.

Post by: Ceric on May 08, 2007, 06:09:04 AM: Actually you said that last week was golden week and I was sort of waiting for this weeks numbers they normal come today or tomorrow. You're just a busy person....

I'm glad MS finally made it on there. Now I don't have to worry about them wigging something out. With a 1st party to boot.

Official site for the Negumi game. I don't know if its a strategy type game are a dating game or something of both.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on May 08, 2007, 06:22:56 AM: TO be honest I don't know the exact dates of Golden week, but it should have taken place near the last week of April or 1st week of May, and usually sales #'s are usually hard to come by at those times cause they aren't usually officially released. until the week after (2 combined weeks of sales).

And yes, these #'s are a little early, but WOW at the Wii 5 pack in the Top 10.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on May 08, 2007, 07:00:12 AM: From what I heard, Golden Week started on April 26th. That's why Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings and Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree were both released on that day.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on May 08, 2007, 07:53:59 AM: Actually I think the upcoming charts for the week after this weeks charts are for Golden week. SO we may or may not have charts for the next week until the following week.

Hardware Estimates for 04/23 - 04/29:

DS ~ 200k
Wii ~ 75k
PS2 & 3 ~ 10k
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on May 08, 2007, 08:13:41 AM: They combined the PS2 & 3? Wow, that is sort of pathetic. I notice the PSP #'s missing, I only mention this because the last numbers we got it was doing pretty strong.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on May 08, 2007, 10:16:34 AM: I'm guessing it means that both PS2 and PS3 each sold around 10,000 hardware units, not total between them.

Sony PR spin: Yes so in the final week of April both the Sony Playstation 2 and the Sony Playstation 3 exceeded sales estimates by a massive 25%, this is a time for celebrations. These celebrations will involved a feast of giant crab.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on May 08, 2007, 10:31:54 PM: As we can see from the latest charts, the PS3 has just managed to outsell the PS2. Since previous charts have shown that the PS2 is outselling the Wii, it only leads us to the conclusion that the PS3 is outselling the Wii by the transitive property.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on May 09, 2007, 04:47:32 AM: While the PSP sold 4,031 more units then everyone below it combined. Making it the best selling non-Nintendo system for the week. Meaning that if every week from here on out is the exact same as this week in ~11 weeks the PSP will sell more then everyone under it for the year. If things stay the exact same as they are now it will take the PSP ~306 weeks or ~6 years to surpass the GBA's lifetime sales.

The Wii sold 38,833 more units then everyone below it combined. The Wii has beaten LTD all Next Gen competitors except the DS and PSP if you want to include them. It will take the Wii, if things stay exactly the same as this week, ~203 weeks or ~4 years to surpass the PS2 Lifetime Sales.

While the DS sold 89,852 more units then everyone below it combined. So for every other system sold there was ~1.5 DSes sold this week. Also it will take the DS ~16 weeks, if every week from here on out is the exact same, to surprass the PS2's lifetime sales. If things stay exactly as they are now it will take the DS ~359 Weeks or ~7 years to surpass the lifetime sales of everyone below it combined, for the curious that would mean the DS would had sold 108,535,496 Units; which, according to projections, would mean that ~1.5% of the World Population at the time, ~29.8% of the projected North American population, or ~85% of the 2005 Japanese population. Same disclaimer, it would take the DS ~54 weeks or ~1 year 2 weeks to surpass the Lifetime sales of all listed Non-Nintendo Systems combined.

For every Non-Nintendo system listed sold LTD there was ~1.42 Nintendo systems sold. For the posted week for every non-Nintendo System listed sold there was ~5.76 Nintendo Systems sold.

Just for kicks:
If everything stays exactly the same as this week:
The PS3 will take ~263 Weeks or ~5 years to surpass the GameCube Lifetime Sales and ~94,701 weeks or ~1,821 years to surpass the PS2's lifetime sales.
The 360 will take ~1,276 Weeks or ~24.5 Years to surpass the GameCube Lifetime Sales

I sort of got carried away I'm a little bored at work.

Yeah, those estimates have been a little off for about two weeks in a row now. But hopefully these Hardware #'s are the results of the increased production and not just because Nintendo was holding back systems for the last few weeks.

edit: According to NeoGAF, expect last weeks chart April 30th - May 6th charts to pop up this week too.
Software tonite, Hardware tomorrow, and we should be back on track for MC charts. I guess GW was the week of the 26th and I was so busy(and w/o internet connection) that I didn't really notice that a whole week had slipped past me.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on May 09, 2007, 08:00:36 AM: Ok. For every 1 Cube sold their was ~5 PS2's sold, I'm using the exact number in the background. So if the whole world mimicked Japan then if there was 25M Cubes sold Worldwide then that means their are ~122,518,240 PS2's sold around the world.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread

115.36 million units shipped as of December 31, 2006.

So considering that was just an extropolation from the sales data I'm only ~10% off thats not to terrible at all.

WOW @ Nintendo Top 21 and 26 of the Top 30(5 of which are for the Wii), I think it is very safe to consider Japan Nintendoland for the foreseeable future.

Hardware should also be out tonite along with the rest of the Nintendowned Top 50

Its also surprising to see Professor Layton having such looong legs and continuing to stay in the Top 20 for all these weeks and NSMB & More Brain Age pop back up into the Top 10. Don't be dissapointed in One Piece either, it was basically sold out last wiik, and the remaining copies sold out this week. The publisher only ordered 50k copies (40k of them sold last wiik)

I wonder if Nintendo has pumped production high enough to get some constant 90,000 weekly figures between now and the holidays?

Well... crap... I mean, it's got to be at least a minor irritant for Sony that this winter Nintendo will probably have outsold the PS2 in lifetime JPN sales. That's just 2 years for Nintendo to topple what took Sony 6 - 7 years to do.

What's the LTD on the PS1... anyone know? Around 20 million?

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on May 15, 2007, 06:00:17 AM: NPD comes this Thursday, and Wedbush Morgan has their estimates up:

Quote
Our views for console hardware sales are as follows:
Wii 300,000
PS3 100,000
Xbox 360 175,000
PS2 250,000
PSP 200,000
DS 450,000
GBA 100,000

another interesting tidbit

... It is possible that Sony’s cost of production for the PS3 has declined to the point that the company may consider a hardware price cut some time this summer, and we may see a price cut for the PS2 before the holidays.

courtesy of NeoGaf

Looks like the Wii is selling line with the Japanese market and so is the DS. But the PS3 is outperforming the Japanese market by about 3x, I guess thats good news right...

and just for comparisons sake here is last months estimated vs actual #'s

Quote
March
System - Wedbush / Actual (% off)
Wii - 400,000 / 259000 (54.4%)
PS3 - 165,000 / 130000 (26.9%)
360 - 250,000 / 199000 (25.6%)
PS2 - 250,000 / 280000 (-10.7%)
PSP - 210,000 / 180000 (16.7%)
DS - 250,000 / 508000 (-50.8%)
GBA - 165,000 / 148000 (11.5%)

do with that what you will.

Lol I love the GBA vs PS3 thing.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Michael8983 on May 17, 2007, 11:25:54 PM: Perhaps Sony, MS, and pretty much everyone really was wrong.
I mean Nintendo's assessment that if all the next-gen consoles offered nothing but improved graphics people would lose interest in them seemed like BS when it was first made at a time when graphics seemed like it was ALL that mattered to the mainstream audience.
But with the 360 being beaten by the PS2 and the PS3 being beaten by the GBA of all things, Nintendo is starting to prove itself right.
I mean, imagine if there was no Wii. What would become of the game console market as we know it? The US would have the 360 which is doing ok but doesn't look like it will ever have the kind of presence the PSX/PS2 had. Possibly not even close to it, in fact. Then there's Japan which would probably abandon consoles entirely and become strictly handheld territory.
Nintendo may have very well saved the console market again, just as it did over two decades ago when Atari nearly killed it. I mean looking at these numbers it's pretty clear that a year and a half into the next generation of consoles the only thing making any kind of real impact is the Wii.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on May 17, 2007, 11:59:01 PM: Yeah... that's what makes this such a great story: No one, save the most fanatical fanbois, believed them. And here they are, proving an entire industry (and what's more, an entire internet) wrong, leading instead of following, and completely changing the game instead of merely following the more hardware, more power, more money conventions.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BigJim on May 18, 2007, 04:32:18 AM: I don't think it's a wholesale rejection of graphics. Costs this gen have at least as much to do with the results as anything.

Nintendo would basically have the same sales, but if PS3 were $400 or less, there'd obviously be a lot more fire behind Sony. It's going to be interesting to see exactly how the market reacts to Sony's eventual price drops. But the slow start is probably stunting them from even being able to catch up anytime in the next year and a half, and by then the Wii/360 momentum may have gimped their chance entirely. Oh wellz.

But, if Sony lauched a $200/$300 PS3, wouldn't there be wholesale abandonment of Sony itself? Without a $600 PS3, there'd be no FF XIII and MGS4 and GTA4 for Sony graphics whores to hang on to. Sony fans wouldn't stand for a graphically inferior PS3.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on May 18, 2007, 06:01:05 AM: No. That's EXACTLY the tragedy of it. Sony didn't win because of hardware, that's not why people loved them. They loved them because of the GAMES that landed on a cheap, mass market, dominant system, and after two entire generations of utter dominance Sony never learned this one simple fact.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: oohhboy on May 18, 2007, 06:15:09 AM: If Sony was willing and assuming is able to bear a $300 price tag with the hardware as is, then Sony would have been able steam roll Nintendo. The Playstation brand would have been able to pull enough of the existing userbase over to next gen. But at $600, it was no longer an issue of price sticker shock, it became phyisically unaffordable. Kens infamous words of needing 2 jobs to buy a PS3 became true.

Considering that Microsoft with it's near infinite resources weren't willing to go to that price with the 360, Sony would have never survied long enough to implament it's so-called 10 year plan or even a 5 year plan. The division's continued unprofitablility after launch at that level would have caused a shareholder revolt to the like that has never been seen before. Shareholders were, before the launch unhappy with it's sliding share price after the $600 E3 incident. The first quarterly report after launch would have been a double binded A4 sized Armageddon device.

The Shareholders would have demanded a solution that would end have caused the destruction of the company or the games division or best case, where we are now. The share price could have crashed and that would have been it, worse than Sega. The Playstation division suspended or jetisioned. Or thirdly the price of the PS3 goes up sharply to levels like now or higher, killing sales and causing comsumer backlash rivalling the Warth of God.

If they went for a $300 machine, it would have went against everything that they were doing for the last 10 years. At every turn regardless if they were the weakest machine out there, would push the graphics in King message. With PSX, it was FMV, PS2 the emotion engine and Toy story. The PSP, handheld PS2. Sony would have never gone for it no matter how much sense it might have made. With Microsoft egging them on and calling them chicken, it was a forgone conculsion that the PS3 is what it is.

But if by some strange twisit of fate that they did produce a $300 machine, that would have produced it's own problems. They would had to fight it's own graphics hype like Nintendo has to fight Gamecube 1.5. It's controller would have still lacked rumble and would have had a difficult time fighting off the superior Wiimote. MS would take the HD section, Nintendo the low end and Sony would be stuck in the middle in a poor compromise. Had Sony launched the same time as MS with a weaker machine, they would have had an even chance. The hardcore would have been pissed to no end with the lack of HD or graphics, but the average consumer would have seen a new playstation that was affordable. But there would have been no games ready for launch and every dev developing for the PS3 would have had to start their own Manhatten projects to get anything on the machine within a year of launch. A year of utterly crap games.

I don't know. I personally believe that the PlayStation brand was strong enough to have counter-balanced these problems for the most part...

If Sony's losses continue on this magnitude, do you think they'll abandon the gaming market, or just retreat from next-gen, retrench with PS2 and PSP? Sony actually has a 10 year console on their hands. It's called the PS2.

Edit: Go Go Germany! The Wii is almost the #1 console there, and at this rate will be in 6 months!

Post by: Louieturkey on May 18, 2007, 01:36:29 PM: Well, looks like the Wii is selling faster than even the PS2 did in its first six months. In fact the PS3 is slower than the Gamecube at this point in its life. Check out the comparison at Joystic.

Really? I was hoping it would at least have a built in HD DVD drive, that would have sealed the deal for me. Although my initial run 360 is starting to make some funny noises, so I might be having to pick up a replacement soon.

It will be interesting to see what effect the Elite sales have on the May charts, if any.

Post by: Kairon on May 23, 2007, 04:56:10 PM: So... George Harrison thinks that Nintendo can move 35 million Wiis in the US by 2011 or 2012 according to Bloomberg.

Quote
Nintendo Co. expects to sell as many as 35 million Wii video-game consoles in the U.S., close to the record 38.2 million PlayStation 2 players sold by Sony Corp.

The company will reach its goal by 2011 or 2012, George Harrison, marketing chief at Nintendo of America Inc., a unit of Kyoto-based Nintendo Co., said in an interview today.

Strike anyone here as particularly ambitious? Between now and 2012, there are about 68 months, and assuming 2.5 mil Wiis have already sold...

...they'd need to average 480k Wiis sold a month! That means that Nintendo would have to REALLY kick up production to PS2 levels, the Wii needs to continue selling out, and that it would need to really capture broad third party support (or that the market would just get really big).
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Requiem on May 23, 2007, 05:51:39 PM: That's very ambitious, almost to the point where it's egotistical.

Still, I think it's possible. Word of mouth is key, and Nintendo has almost everyone at least trying to check it out. For Nintendo, that should be all they need.

We all know of how great Nintendo games can be, but the fact is, a lot of people don't. Mario Party 8 is coming out soon, and I see that as one of the many killer-apps they need (and can make) to start turning everyone into believers. Light-Gun games would help a lot too, as well as music games and the like. Still, Mario Party 8 will help the most in my opinion. It won't help greatly until around Christmas, but rest assured it'll spurn massive sales.

Why, you ask? Parents don't like to buy the conventional videogame systems. They like to buy useful products, like a new camera, phone, or ipod. Something that the person will actually use for a long time to come, but not distract them from spending time with their parents. The Wii is a useful product. We are all aware of the cool little benefits the Wii provides. But more importantly, when was the last time a game came out that parents and children both wanted to play? A game that let them bond with their kid? When was your last family night? The year of the rat?!

Mario Part 8 is right up their alley too. Making the switch into videogames is that much easier when it's a board game. And that coupled interest will make it a lot easier for parents to buy a videogame system in general.

Then there are parents who are going to be shopping for consoles anyways this holiday season, and Nintendo needs to be ready. Parents need to know what Mario Party is and how it is played. After that, parents will be like "A game that actually looks really fun, lets me bond with my child, and isn't violent? OK, but how much is the system....250?! And it comes with a free game (and possibly some other promotion)?! But wait.......Timmy wanted sports games and action games. OK...hmmm......I see football and baseball.....but what about action games?....Wait, what is this? Super Smash Bros. Brawl....hey.......that has all the same characters from this game?! This must not be incredibly violent either!"

*Cha-Ching*

I am personally looking forward to Mario Party 8. It is actually the main reason I want to buy a Wii (and I haven't played TP yet!). It sounds like the most ridiculous drinking game ever. I mean, its predecessors were already ridiculous, but now players' drunkenness will come into effect like never before and actually be recognizable in a very real and very hilarious way!

Wow.....*scrolls up*....WTF did I just type?

Ouedan 2 is second W00t!

The lowest ranked "New!" game Custom Beat Battle Draglade (Japanese Site) looks to be a rythm based SF2 style fighting game. Seems interesting. I was sort of hoping that someone who could read Japanese could possibly verify that for me.

I think we'll start seeing it in MAY NPD and June MC.
I think it takes awhile for the actual hardware to make their way into the shipping channels and land at retail.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on May 30, 2007, 07:16:41 AM: A lil bit of sales info from Australia

http://australianit.news.com.au
Quote
The console, which was launched in early December last year, also helped to triple Nintendo Australia's 2007 net profit to $6.4 million despite being on the market for barely a quarter of the year.

The company's most recent financial year closed on March 31, but that was enough time for Nintendo to sell close to 80,000 Wii consoles. Almost half of those consoles were sold in the four days after the Wii was launched on December 7, 2006.

The launch of the Wii consoles and new software titles propelled Nintendo Australia's sales revenue to $138.9 million during its 2007 financial year, up from $71.6 million in the previous corresponding period.

Australian LTD sales, presumably as of March 31:

360 - 160K
Wii - 80K
PS3 - 36K

I'm not sure how great this news is for Wii, but it really is horrible news for how GC has sold in AUS.

GC was getting smoked in AUS, it was even outsold by the PSP about a year ago. But according to the Next-Gen #'s AUS is no longer Sonyland.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Shorty McNostril on May 30, 2007, 08:56:45 PM: Meeting someone who owned a GC here is very rare. People who ask you which console you own completely ignore the cube. "So what do you own, an X-Box or PS2?" That was always the way. And the game selection reflected the poor hardware sales. The cube area was a dark dank corner at the back of the store and was about 1 foot high and about twice as wide.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on May 31, 2007, 12:28:32 PM: The PSP game situation is slowly improving in Japan, but I don't think it can ever catch up to the DS's momentum. I know if I had the choice between a $29.99 DS game with stylus control and a $39.99 PSP version of the same game with better graphics but no stylus interaction, then I would opt for the DS version every single time. The $10 makes a huge difference, and so basically buying three DS games gets you one for free compared to what you pay for the PSP... so the DS will always be ahead.

The PSP will find some success in exclusive games, but really I think everyone would prefer those games were for their PS2 and they only end up buying the PSP version because there isn't any alternative. That device can offer nothing that can't be done better on the PS2 or any other console out there.... If there were a PS2 and PSP version of the same game I would likewise opt for the PS2 version, and the PSP would only be my absolute last resort. I think that's the way many gamers are thinking, particularly in Japan...
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread

Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on June 01, 2007, 03:02:16 AM: Chozo Ghost: you're quite right...the ship on PSP winning sailed a long time ago in Japan...once they pick a system, they stick with it. That said, it must be a little encouraging for Sony to see a few games selling, at least the system could be profitable, which is the main thing from a business perspective.

Everything else about the charts is meh. I think people are still buying PS3s over there for the same reason people bought N64s in the first year - potential. They assume there will be good games in the future. Of course, there's no guarantee the games will actually be good or that they'll even come out, but if you don't know what's going on, you just look at the name and assume that things will be great eventually, no matter what logic tells you.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 02, 2007, 03:29:34 PM: One thing I forgot to mention about this last weeks sales, is that PS3 just crossed the 900,000 mark, and as soon as they sell about 80k more consoles, they will have reached PS2's first week sales #. At this rate, it will take PS3 8-10 weeks to reach that mark.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on June 05, 2007, 02:07:41 AM: Not really. I only have 2 weeks of numbers ran but the week before last it had a decrease of 79 units compared to the previous week, note the previous week was Golden Week, and this week it had a increase of 18 units over that week.

You can take a look at Fun with Numbers. So yes the 360 is starting to go on the rise but it hasn't made up for the decrease of the week before. When we get the new numbers that will be a good indication of popularity is rising. If we still see an increase in sales over the week before we can blame golden week and start to air the theory that the 360 is gaining some steam. I might run the other numbers but fora 360 games to break the charts enough people must own one.

I think it is a matter of time before they put alot of money in true next-gen games for the Wii, with the Wii dominating like it is, it could easily turn into the PS2 of this generation.

From what I remember, that is what happened on a WW status (mostly US and EUR), but SNES was always ahead in Japan. I think the same thing might happen with the Xbox vs GC battle too.

Sega killed off Genesis sales a little too quickly, with the release and non-support of the Sega-CD and 32x, then they tried to make up for it with the Saturn, but that failed horribly too.

MS killed off the production/sales of the XBox for the more financially favorable 360, and dropped all software support for the original Xbox in the process.

In both cases Nintendo still has systems being sold and software being bought and in the case of the GC it could still pull a SNES and make the come-from-behind victory, but I doubt it.

AS for the PS3.......well its failing in all 3 territories and is still being outsold by the PS2 and PSP everywhere. I don't there being a fix for that in the near or not so near future.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on June 08, 2007, 07:40:55 AM: Welp I just got done running the numbers.

You know how KDR_11k mentioned that the 360 numbers where on the rise? Well this week Microsoft sold more than Golden Week for an increase in consoles sold for the second week in a row, a 8.56% increase over last week to boot, while the PS3 had a decrease from last week. Though the PS3 is beating the PS2 for the year by 84,155 units. I was surprised by that and had to double check my calculations. Anyway I encourage all to look at the breakdown if you like numbers.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 08, 2007, 08:08:12 AM: by your calculations, if the 360 and the the PS3 were to continue at their current rate of increase/decrease how long until the 360 is selling more than the PS3?
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: 31 Flavas on June 08, 2007, 08:22:30 AM: Yea, I know VG Charts doesn't do exact numbers, but according to their data and graphs, the PS3 is doing at least as good as the PS2, for now. A successful November/December would push it above the PS2.

What good PS3 games are coming out before/around then, though?

I'll have it sometime tomorrow. I'll have to think about what the best approach would be to calculate that...
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Adrock on June 08, 2007, 08:34:57 AM: All things considered (price, games etc.), PS3 is doing pretty well. For a console with as many problems as PS3 currently has, I'm surprised people are still buying it. Normally, someone would see a $600 console and crap their pants, but I guess after crapping their pants, they decided to buy a PS3.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on June 08, 2007, 09:31:17 AM: Ok... I have the numbers I think the method I'm using is correct. Though times like these make me wish I still had a graphing calculator because it be a two sec type thing. Anyway...

According to my calculations at this current rate the 360 could overtake the PS3 in ~39 weeks with the PS3 being at ~1,030,284 units and the 360 being at ~1,031,095. Though I take those precise numbers with a grain of salt because in the last week the PS3 sold ~604 units, a little more than the GBA this week, and the 360 sold ~59,286 units, a little less than the Wii.

The 360 could post those kinds of number with some key games. Its somewhat realistic. Now on the other hand I really don't see the PS3 dropping to 604 units. I just don't see that unless something drastic happens. All in all though these numbers do indicate that in the long run the 360 still has a chance to surpass the PS3.

(Also Fun With Numbers has the numbers for whole companies as well now and per hour, minute, and second where applicable)

Not as well as the XBox 360 though. I suspect the 360 will become the dominant next-gen console because for all that the PS3 is looking like a great piece of hardware (with some potentially sweet games in the future), it just isn't building enough steam.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: that Baby guy on June 08, 2007, 11:27:58 AM: Nah, the truth is that the 360 isn't doing all that well, either. MS is having trouble selling all the extra's they've shipped, so the Core and Premium models have been almost at a standstill since January.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on June 08, 2007, 12:19:44 PM: Well, that's because the XBox 360 is long overdue for a price drop (instead of the price increase that the Elite was). I anticipate very strong demand for the system when they drop the price $100... imagine a Core system at $200 (and Premium at $300)! Sure that's a total rip off because of the accessories you'd need, but MS would have a very powerful psychological lever to use then.

Edit to stay on topic: And how gangbusters would the Wii sell with a price drop of its own to $200 or $180?!?!? God I hope that Nintendo really manufactures a MEGATON of consoles for the holidays.

Not sure how great of hardware the PS3 is, graphically it is about on the same level as Xbox 360, the only big difference in blu-ray. In regards to Adrock, that sounds like the Sony spin machine there, the PS3 is doing terrible even taking all things into consideration. You forgot one key element that is most likely contributing to a big chunk of the sales of the PS3 and that is it being the cheapest Blu-ray player on the market (Though that isn't the case anymore).

A Sony rep would never say, "For a console with as many problems as PS3 currently has..." It just wouldn't happen so I don't know what you think I'm spinning. At $600, I'd expect far fewer people to have bought PS3 even with brand loyalty. And while I disagree that a "big chunk" of PS3 sales are from being a "cheap" Blu-Ray player, $600 is still a lot of money no matter what you're paying for. For the people who bought it play Blu-Ray movies, Sony still got a PS3 into their homes. That's the hardest part.

Yes, Microsoft and, especially, Nintendo are doing better. However, that's not really the point here. Doing well and doing well for a $600 console are completely different things. So, all things considered, yes, Sony could be doing a hell of a lot worse. Microsoft was pushing it with the premium 360. PS3's MSRP is almost insulting.

8-9 thousand a week in Japan is not doing well. And believe it or not Phil Harrison or whatever his name is said the exact same thing you said in an interview with EGM. The point is that you completely disregard the fact that the PS3 has been the cheapest Blu-Ray player on the market, and combined with the fact it plays video games along with the Sony name are big pluses, and I wonder if you bothered factoring that in to your spin that PS3 is doing good. PS3 is constantly dropping in sales and it is looking bleak in all territories. Let me ask you how many do you think would buy a PS3 for 600$? Do you have any figures to back up your opinion in regards to that? To me that seems extremely subjective, and a weak argument that is pure spin.

Heck while were at it let me make my completely opinionated argument and state that considering the overwhelming dominance PS2 had and the Sony brand name, that the PS3 sales are pitiful. See what I did there? Heck I could say that a device that sold 100 units was "good considering its price" no matter what the product is or how much it cost, it is completely subjective and a prime argument people use to spin things since there is nothing to back it up.

When a console is getting outsold by almost a 1:15 margin in its primary market with its games failing most of the time to get in the top 50, that is NOT good and it is spin to say otherwise, perhaps you should be working for Sony? It isn't as bad here but it still doing bad, and a possible explanation is that the technophiles in the U.S. are getting it to play Blu-Ray movies made sweeter by the ability to play games, and even then that group is so small it is making only a small dent. Heck I believe a few weeks ago (Perhaps it is still true), Xbox 360 was still outselling PS3 by 2-1 and GBA was outselling PS3, that is not good when a system that is about dead is outselling yours (Though it did manage to outsell GameCube, so it did beat something!).

Heck all you need to do is go back to the launch of the PS3, there were usually 30+ thousand PS3s on sale the day it came out. Many people were buying it to sell, that in itself is not a good sign, and I wish there were exact numbers on how many were actually sold on ebay, I know it far outranked Xbox 360 or Wii. The rapid price drop even showed there was far more supply on ebay than demand.

In Sony's home Territory (aka The only place we get consistent numbers.):
For the year the PSP is Sony's top seller selling more then the PS2 & 3 combined
Also for the year the PS3 sold more units then the PS2

It is on a slight decline but I don't see that lasting. I don't see a large sudden up swing either. Though with the lead it already has unless something drastic happen it will be Sony's #2 seller in Japan. The rumor of a new PSP coming at the current price point could really spark PSP sales if it happens. There is a market for the PSP it seems. Also isn't the PS3 eventually suppose to be able to play PSP games on the big screen? If the PSP jumps in sale such a function could push PS3's though the price would need to drop but that isn't happening until PSGimped gets released in all territories.

There ways to argue both side so we do.

You've been praising Sony left and right, pretending to be the "anti fanboi", so this latest is just in a long line of it. If you honestly think I'm "Jumping down your throat" you are sadly mistaken, you would know it if I was. The fact remains that PS3 is doing bad by any standard and anything to the contrary is spin even with its "mistakes", the PS3 should be doing much better even with the screw ups if the Sony name meant anything.

Someone is a little grumpy aren't they? The main reason why I jumped on this is that it reminded me so much of Harrison's little spin, even if you may not have intended it that way. When I originally read it came across as spin that things are not going too badly when you take things into consideration, which is pretty much what Harrison said in EGM.

I didn't even mention PSP, in regards to the PS2 vs PS3 isn't PS2 now outselling PS3 in Japan? Heck the GBA was outselling it at one point with the Xbox 360 being the only one that didn't beat it. Regardless the biggest indicator of a consoles success is game sales, not hardware sold, and Sony is failing miserably at that. On a side note I wonder if Sony is making money yet on PSP? Or is each console sold more money lost?

Post by: nitsu niflheim on June 10, 2007, 02:34:02 AM: I think I get what you are saying. The PS3 should be doing better because of its branding and the company who makes it. The PS1 and the PS2 were both huge sellers regardless of the faults of the systems, that the PS3 should also be enjoying the same success. And that regardless of the outcome/outlook, Sony has a convinient excuse to completely disregard how the PS3 is doing in hardware sales and in software sales and lay blame on something/one that has no provable connection whatsoever to the true underlaying reason why the PS3 is a complete and utter failure in a market that should have, by all rights and purposes due to the success of PS1 & PS2, been theirs. It was their market to lose, and they are doing a very good job of throwing it away.

Post by: Ceric on June 10, 2007, 04:25:20 AM: GP: Yeah I put the PSP in there so people would know who was top for Sony. Though this early in the Wii and PS3 lifecycle I personally believe that the Hardware units at the given moment are a little more important then the Software. Going into this holiday season though is a different story. From then on its software. Unfortunately though we don't really get hard numbers on software sales. We can approximate with the rankings but without the real hard numbers all the rankings give us is if they are doing well. With hard numbers we could start to compare things like number of games per system and the like. Which would be really cool. Though I don't think they'll ever release those raw numbers in a convenient format though without paying a good amount for them.

To sum it up until the beginning of this holiday season establishing a user-base I believe to be more important and then this holiday season and beyond software sales. Though you can debate each way. Its very Chicken and the Egg.

On another note I thought the PSP unit has been profitable for the last year.

You may be right about software not being as important but when your software fails to make it in the top 25, and if it does it is only for a short time that is a terrible sign. Look Wii has been out the same amount of time yet we've seen numerous titles in the top 25 list, especially in Japan. Not to mention when a console is being outsold almost 20:1 that signals disaster, and I don't know of any system historically that has pulled out of that.

Confused, not grumpy. You made a few accusations and I don't see where you got them. Specifically, I don't really understand the whole "pretending to be an anti-fanboy" thing. I just think every company should be held by the same standard. You take the good with the bad and there are no excuses because failure is failure and success is success. It's not always so black and white. I'm just saying that you (not you specifically) can't give a company passes just because you like them.

I think you misunderstood my comment on Sony. I'm not saying PS3 is doing well. Rather, I can't believe people are even considering paying $600 for what is essentially a videogame and movie player. So, really, if you want to blame me of anything, it should be blatant consumerism. I want the best deals. You can look at PS3 in different ways. For the technology and potential, it's a steal (cheap Blu-Ray player, some great upcoming titles). However, if you're like me, it's still $600. Last I checked, PS3 has sold like 3-4 million worldwide. Depsite all the negatives, that many people paid $600 for mostly potential? The way I see it, PS3 is a bad product selling better than a bad product should.

Nintendo's worldwide sales are astonishing, but it's already a good product. I think Wii could be a better product right now, but it's still a good product. That said, no one is waiting for it to be a good product, you're waiting for it to be a better product than it already is. That, to me, is a good investment. All things considered, it's performing as it should.

If you simply want to compare sales, Nintendo is crushing Sony and catching up to Microsoft at a good rate. There's sure to be some margin of error, but generally, that is what the numbers suggest.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 10, 2007, 12:59:09 PM: Just because you mentioned it, I have some rough estimates of the WW hardware #'s

360 - 9.5million
Wii - 7.5million
PS3 - 3.25million

These estimates are not including May NPD which comes out this thursday.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 10, 2007, 01:19:16 PM: Has the 360 crossed the 10Million sold mark yet?

I'm going off memory of some estimates that I saw earlier in the week.
From what I remember it was broken down something like:

Xbox360
USA - 6million
EUR - 3.1million
JPN - .4million

Wii
USA - 2.5million
EUR - 2.5million
JPN - 2.5million

PS3
USA - 1.3million
EUR - 1million
JPN - .9million

I'm sure its the European estimates that are throwing it off, but my US # might be a little low too. I don't keep a spread sheet or anything like that, and I'm not quite bored enough to skim back through all the NPD postings in this(or any other) thread, so I tend to just trust the chart trackers over at GAF when it comes to stuff like this.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 10, 2007, 02:35:19 PM: The thing is though, even if my #'s were off for 360(lets say it was 1million short), the point is that Wii has been out for 1/3 the time and has almost caught up already to what ever the 360 has sold WW, has more than doubled what the PS3 has sold WW and shows no signs of slowing down just yet.

Something I just remembered about the 360 though, is that MS had flooded the channel with 360's during March(?) so that they could claim their 10million shipped figure before fiscal year had ended*, and it turned out that most of that shipment had just ended up sitting on store shelves. MS even admitted to making a mistake by forcing product upon the retailers with threats of not giving them retail access to Vista (which also seemed to just sit on the shelves).

*It might have been Christmas, my memory is fuzzy on on the date, but the event did happen and it might have been so that they could get to that milestone before the end of Calender 2006 instead of fiscal '06.

Post by: TJ Spyke on June 10, 2007, 06:05:55 PM: Nobody should EVER use NexGenWars or VGChartz. Both sites are well known for making up BS numbers and then changing them when the REAL numbers are made known.

Microsoft flooded the market before Christmas so they could say they met their goal of 10 million shipped. That is why they also announced that they would only be shipping 500K Xbox 360's during the entire first six months of 2007.

The Wii has sold about 7.5 million copies already, and at this rate it will easily pass the Xbox 360 worldwide by the end of the year (maybe even by the end of the summer depending on how well it does in North America). It will take a little longer in North America (the only region where the 360 is still doing pretty well), but now it's just a matter of WHEN the Wii becomes #1 rather than IF.

Also, we do get monthly sales data from the NPD. So it's not just Japan that we get regular data from.

Oh, it's pretty interesting that the PS3 has been under 10K in Japan for the last couple of weeks. The PS2 has been out in Japan for over 7 years, and it has only sold less than 10K twice (both times were in November 2000 when the PS2 was suffering a wordwide shortage).
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 10, 2007, 08:11:18 PM: So what you're saying is that if MS had stayed with their shipment estimates for the 1st half of '07, then the most they could have sold WW(assuming that they sell everything they ship) would be 10.5million. So by default what you would also be saying is that since we know that there are plenty of 360's sitting on shelves just about everywhere you go, that it is pretty safe to assume that there could possibly be rougly 1million unsold 360's floating around the world. If we all agree that that may be possible and also agree that the data you have supplied above is true, then it would also be safe to assume that the #'s that I provided for WW sales of the 360 (9.5million) should also be alot more accurate than those of Nextgenwars.com and UncleBob should never question me ever again.

j/k UB, but I do think that the estimate I posted is probably closer to the truth than what NGW.com extrapolates and then corrects later when the actual data comes out.

p.s. NGC86, we know that we get monthly NPD data, its posted all throughout the Wii & DS sales threads, its just that I don't want to go back and check them all just to get the US sales for 360.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BigJim on June 11, 2007, 01:11:48 AM: MS shipped 10.4 million as of Dec. 31. Their highest possible base right now is just under 11m with those extra 500K units. I believe MS hit the 9 million mark back in Dec. There are lots of boxes in the wild, but I would THINK they managed to sell another million by now. They're not selling that poorly are they? Whatever, who knows.

If Nintendo's estimates of selling another 14 million units this fiscal year are accurate, that'd put them roughly at 16.5M by year's end if supply is steady and manufacturing lives up to that expectation. MS is going to NEED Halo and a price cut to have a chance at maintaining any lead this year. But it looks like it really is just a matter of time.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on June 11, 2007, 03:25:13 AM: Yes, we get NPD data. Though it is horribly one sided. Media Create gives as life-to-date, year-to-date, Last Week, and This week. If I had a database to store all the data then I could replicate some of that for NPD. I wish they did the same in easy to format manner. Give a better world picture. Though we still really don't have any consistent numbers for Europe or the smaller territories.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 11, 2007, 05:40:18 AM: NPD used to be the raw data, every game from every company on every system, but that cracked down on their leak, and now NeoGAF is the only place I know of that The NPF Group will give restricted #'s to in exchange for them to stop getting the whole chart leaked and some sort of legal action being explored. At least we still get a Top 10 and all the hardware sales though.

As far as Europe goes though, you have to add MC & NPD and then subtract that from the latest press release of WW sales/shipments totals and then adjust for "shipping" into "sold" where applicable, and then you have the estimated Euro #'s left over.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on June 11, 2007, 05:25:06 PM: Maybe the 500K number was just for North America, but I do remember them announcing that shipment number for somewhere. The Xbox 360 is basically dead in Japan and only doing so-so in Europe (outside of the UK, since it does pretty well there), so sales numbers outside of North America are almost a non-factor.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on June 12, 2007, 01:15:37 AM: I wouldn't give 360 "dead" status yet in Japan. It's had a game break the top 15 within the past month if memory serves. Also has been on an increase in system sales the past few weeks. While the PS3 is decreasing.

Edit:

You'll want to look at System Sale Growth
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on June 12, 2007, 01:47:44 PM: The 360 has had a slight increase in Japan, but that's not saying much. Microsoft's sales increase in Japan is like scoring a 12% on a test, and then retaking it and scoring a 17%. Even though your test score has improved, it's still a huge failure, just like the 360 in Japan.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on June 12, 2007, 01:52:49 PM: 360 hardware sales are dead. 360 software sales can rely on around 80k to 200k sales at max.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on June 12, 2007, 03:41:53 PM: Yes but a test is just a stand alone unit and there are not nearly as many. What we are starting to see is consistent growth. Its not sudden growth mind you but it is consistent growth. While the PS3 on the other hand has some wild swings and is on a decrease. Over time a consistent week to week growth in the number of units that you actually sell will equal a fairly sizeable amount for the year. So it might only be around 177 units more each week compared to the previous week. It all adds up. So I would not say that the Hardware Sales are dead in the least until I start seeing at least a leveling off if not aa consistent decrease or sales levels much like the original XBox, which sold in the 3 digits per week not 4.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread

I do frequent the VGChartz forums and your claim of the site just making up numbers is gross inaccurate. VGChartz numbers are usually +/- 10% of the more trusted tracking firms numbers. I'd like you to explain how Ioi of VGChartz pulls weekly sales numbers for all three regions out of his ass and have them consistently mirror Media Crate and NPD numbers?

Post by: Kairon on June 13, 2007, 11:18:25 AM: Well... to be truthful, NPD DOES just poll retailers and make educated guesses.

VG Chartz is nowhere near quotably reliable yet, but they make for an easy source of ROUGH numbers for speculation and casual discussion. I see no harm in that.

This is from the newest version of the parser. BnM is having comp problems from what I gather so I found the data and parsed it. I thought the bullets would make it look nicer. All it did was make it look more bloated. Points to anyone else who can spot the other changes.

I'm also thinking of trying to replace the count with a bar graph if BnM would like. Just mentioning it so I can get some opinion on whether you guys want that or not. Though I'm going to ditch the bullets before I send this off to BnM.

Edit: Updated the numbers and put in the hardware even though Bill beat me to it.

Post by: Kairon on June 13, 2007, 04:20:52 PM: You mean replace the "# sold" section with bar graphs? That's a lot of visual real estate to represent 4 small numbers.

Oh, and I hope that RE4 (see #11) can keep its legs going, and that Harvest Moon has legs! They're the only two 3rd party Wii games up there right now!
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on June 13, 2007, 04:31:29 PM: Actually it comes out to be the same size even without the bullets. The bargraphs bars are each 12 pixels high which so happens to be a little bigger then 8 point font but smaller then ten. Probably be something everyone would have to see though I really don't see it happening because the image would have to be manually linked in so it sort of stream line things less.

Isn't that the new Harvest Moon?

I don't even have the parser installed on this computer yet anyway, so if you were gonna send me a new one, now would be a good time. And yes NeoGAF has charts and graphs and indepth analysis, but I prefer us to have our own little way of representing things instead.

I would have to request it from Cheesmeister over at NeoGAF cause he's the one that makes it but I don't see why not.

Looks like Nintendo really needs to get more hit games coming out for the GBA if they expect their third-pillar strategy to pay off. The NDS and Wii are shattering their respective competition, but with the GBA the PS3 is starting to make inroads and Nintendo shouldn't allow this. Come on NIntendo, get more GBA games out before it is too late!

Hmm, Maybe a GBA revision and/or price drop would turn things around? [/sarcasm off]
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Spak-Spang on June 15, 2007, 02:55:57 AM: The Third pillar is idea is dead. Unless Nintendo is going to be creating another handheld soon.

I think the whole third pillar strategy was created just in case the DS failed. Well you can see it didn't fail.

Post by: vudu on June 15, 2007, 07:20:05 AM: Here are the two real stories here:

April NPD PSP Sales: 183k
May NPD PSP Sales: 221K

The price drop pushed a few more units, but not as big of a jump as Sony was probably hoping for.

April NPD 360 Sales: 174k
May NPD 360 Sales: 155K

The introduction of the Elite did practically nothing to alter the sales of the 360. To me, that's pretty surprising. I was expecting to see a temporary increase in sales for May, followed by a return to normal levels in June.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on June 17, 2007, 03:32:58 PM: Why would you be unable to cope with Nintendo being in the lead? This was the way it used to be, so it isn't really unprecedented.

I am really happy Nintendo is number 1 right now because I can rub that fact in the face of people who a few years ago kept saying Nintendo was going to go the way of Sega and Atari. Well, not only did they NOT go the way of those companies, they've actually risen back to the top. When their hardware accounts for 57% of sales for the month, then you know the Golden Age of Nintendo dominance has returned.

It's nice *for them* to be in this position, but there continues to be the looming question of whether they are MTV-ifying videogames and if that is really good for gaming in the long term.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Urkel on June 17, 2007, 08:16:41 PM: Videogames were MTV-ified the day FF7 was released.

Nintendo merely found a way to use that tactic on a much larger demographic than the insecure teenage males that Sony roped into gaming.

I'm just saying that Nintendo has managed to turn the tables by appealing to a new demographic, like Sony did. I certainly didn't mean to imply that Nintendo is dumbing down games like so many others have suggested.

Sony made games more mainstream by emphasizing FMV and glitz and "mature" themes over gameplay.

Nintendo is making games even more mainstream by providing an intuitive and more interactive game experience that just about anyone could get into.

Post by: couchmonkey on June 18, 2007, 09:18:45 AM: Whether or not Nintendo's newfound success is good for gaming in the long-term can be measured in a lot of different ways. I think a lot of people raised on recent systems will believe that Nintendo's vision is a step back for the "art" of video games because it doesn't push forward production values and complex narratives. It's a step back artistically...which may be true (personally I don't believe it's relevant, even though I love a game with a story).

In our capitalist society, popularity and financial success are popular measures. In this light, Nintendo's change will probably be a good thing for the industry. I've had this feeling for several years that video games could wind up like comic books, forever trapped in a niche realm of manchildren, but I think Nintendo is helping to put video games on the map (with lots of acknowledgement to things like The Sims and casual online gaming).

On the other hand, Nintendo could simply cause another industry implosion like that of the early 80s: build up a big, unstable fanbase and watch it all come tumbling down due to some mis-step. But without taking steps like this, the overall health of the industry could be at stake.

We could also measure it from a civil liberties point of view or a productivity point of view, and probably many more.

Most will measure the success like so: "Do I like these games?" Some are going to answer no. That's too bad, but the same thing happened when N64 and Playstation hit the market, when graphics replaced text adventures, and when talkies replaced silent movies.

Post by: Kairon on June 18, 2007, 07:51:29 PM: It's a challenge to their self-identity, I'd guess. If you learn to define yourself one way, and become really, really good at it (becoming a real hardcore gamer with cred and all that), then all of a sudden the world flips on you and other people and qualities are being deemed more significant than you based on an entirely new set of standards... you're bound to feel more than a little cheated, territorial, and defensive.

Take the movie Stage Beauty, for example, starring Billy Crudup and Claire Danes. It's a movie set in England back when women couldn't be actors. So men played women... and the main character (Billy Crudup) was a star because of how well he did it. Then suddenly the world flips on him and women are allowed to act... he sorta goes ballistic halfway through the movie and acts a real jerk because he's feeling threatened that women are edging in on his turf, his identity, the very thing his entire life is based on.

All his life he'd been trained, forced, made to suffer so that he would be able to fulfill a certain role, a role that has made him a star... and then the rug get's pulled out from under him. Forever acting as women, incapable to play masculine roles... can he grow beyond his past? Adapt? Or will he rage and rage and ultimately wither away into history?

Stage Beauty now on DVD, Rated R for sexual content and language.

Why does no one every listen to me???

People are afraid of things that they don't understand. It's simple human nature. They fear it because it's different. It's unexpected. They have to figure out how to get their atrophied brains around it conceptually and for the average person that's like an ant trying to move the Matterhorn.

The average person doesn't like to think. They like to be spoon fed everything in prepackaged sound bites. It's as if they've come to believe that thinking kills brain cells.

Of course shiny things are easy distractions because all you have to do is look at them. You don't actually have to think or *shudder* use your brain.

That's why so many gamers are pissed at Wii. It's not shiny enough and it makes them think. Basically, it's not a nickel.

...

Wait, what?

It's a change in power structure. Any ruling party that is disposed or legitimately challenged is going to be highly agitated, threatened, and show extreme contempt. Be it the video game "hardcore" who wield nothing but ego power (i.e. "My video game system is better then yours!") or the United States of America government which wields thousands of nuclear tipped ICBMs.

Wii is legitimately challenging the concept / construct that Hi-def graphics, 5.1 sound, and in depth story are what sell video games (even what makes a "Good" video game). Wii hardware and Wii software (Wii Sports, Wii Play, mainly) are legitimately out selling typical "gamer games". It's bad enough that the brand new Forza 2 is being outsold by Pokemon, but to be out sold by 4 month old Wii Play? Ouch, that has to hurt.

So you better believe that the Ian's and the "know it alls" of gaming are feeling like outcasts now. That's not supposed to happen, "they" are the 'true' gamers!

Eh... I think that's enough dramatics for one post.

Yeah, I agree that that's also a part of it. Hardcore traditionalists are used to thinking of games in easily measured terms of bump-maps, draw distance, framerates and textures, but HOW do you measure fun? And just because they can't measure this new, non-technical experience, some seek stick their heads in the sand and discredit it.

Though I wouldn't be so quick to disparage the "average" person denjet78. After all, it's the AVERAGE person who's "getting" the Wii. This is actually a story about an insular elite being misguided and feeling marginalized because they're out of touch with the reality of the general population.

Take a look at Nintendo and Nintendo fanboys circa N64 and GC... let's not forget that we were the ones bemoaning the "casual, violence-hungry, sensationalistic mainstream gamer" then.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Deguello on June 19, 2007, 10:48:32 AM: We're also somehow still locked in this "screenshot" mentality, wherein screenshots determine quality and therefore success.

Allow me to show you what I mean. There is all of this talk that there has "never been" this huge a gulf in graphical power. Hogwash.

This is Rayman. PSOne launch title.

This is some unknown N64 launch game.

Sweet jezzum crap! How in the world could the N64 lose? Hell, one of them is 2-D! Obviously the developers are going to see that the N64 has the graphical power that the hardcore set wants and the PSOne is going to look dated and flaccid.

Want more?

Kessen PS2 launch title (eeeyugh)

Random unknown GC launch game.

Holy peanut butter headphones! Look at Luigi's mansion with it's self-reflection and and dynamic lighting, tri-spec linear maps, doodads and screw-dads. And then look at Kessen, with it's exclusive ****-Filter(tm). Holy god.

Now you are right, I am being selective, but it's not like those that bring this argument up aren't. Far Cry Vengeance is going to be some kind of pariah forever, but what I AM demonstrating is that screenshots never decided anything. The developers that are telling you that graphical power matters are actually trying to convince themselves by seeing if you agree. They've invested heavily in this HD-Future and are reluctant to acknowledge the same backwards steps needed to survive that happened with the PSOne and PS2. Some of them are just going to have to woken up with a hammer.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: SixthAngel on June 19, 2007, 08:05:46 PM: I think that the "hardcore" game journalists have even been drifting away from the gaming audience before the Wii. They are the ones that mark games down for things like not having 5.1 sound. I can hardly tell the difference and honestly don't even know or care what supports it. I doubt almost anyone outside of the elite tech geeks care at all about surround sound a and not surround sound b. They pick out little things that only the elite even have available to rag on games. I can understand wanting widescreen, especially now that I play on one, but it shouldn't knock a game down so much in the score, all they need is a line that says "no widescreen" next to graphics and the widescreen tv owners who care about it will avoid the game. There was no reason to mark the entire game down for it in the past. While HD is more important from different versions of surround sound it is still only available to a minority of people yet the game "journalists" have been acting like everyone has it and it is absolutely necessary. They couldn't be farther away from most gamers in what they care about and the actual equipment they have available to play with.

It isn't just that the Wii is taking away gamers from the hardcore, these people have been drifting away from the regular gamer and never realized it until a new system appeared that showed them.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on June 20, 2007, 02:19:45 AM: The problem with Surround sound or not Surround sound is its very hard to find a game, or movie for that matter, that really pays attention to sound and uses it to its full potential. I can't think of a recent game that has wowed me in the sound department but if the developer does pay attention to sound it can make a big difference in the immersion factor.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: UltimatePartyBear on June 20, 2007, 06:16:38 AM: That screenshot looks like Luigi's Fun Time Dress-Up Adventure. Luigi's Mansion really impressed me with its lighting. When lightning struck, there'd be huge shadows of stuff in the room cast on the walls. And of course Rogue Leader was one long eyegasm. Thinking back, it seems like Nintendo used to always have a really good game that really showed off the hardware at or near launch. With the Wii, they concentrated on showing off the control hardware instead of the graphics hardware, but we're all used to having the graphics hardware paraded in front of us instead. It's no wonder longtime gamers are confused.

Ceric, you're right about sound. I can't remember the last time I was really wowed by good sound in a movie. I only really notice it when it's bad, like in most action movies these days that mistake volume for quality (Here's a tip to any Hollywood sound mixers reading this: A locker door closing should not be as loud as a plane crash).
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on June 20, 2007, 07:13:08 AM: Last time I was wowed at sound was when I was a real PC Gamer and just got my Audigy 2 and played some FPS. Directional Audio for the Win. Its definetly a lost art that I wish be found again. I hope in S2B2 they go the distance with more then just the orchestrated score, especially with online. I can see how it could be hard in a four player match on the same machine. Though in online and single player you would be the only combatant who sound out the speaker matters. Lets say Mario and Samus are duking it out to the left of the stage and you and Kirby are duking it out to the right. Well Mario and Samus shouldn't sound as loud and feel to the left sound wise. Things like that really add to the immersions. Another example would be a missile from Samus traveling from the left to the center speaker while getting louder as it come near and suddenly switching to behind when you dodge. (Actually I guess front to back be better. Considering your character facing.) Anyway, sound. Something that needs worked on.

Australia, Melbourne, June. 21st, 2007 - After securing, and holding, the Australian record for the biggest launch of a video game system in history*. , Wii™ has now officially broken through the 100,000* install-base mark in Australia. Claiming the new title of fastest selling home console to reach 100,000*.

“We are pleased that Wii has achieved this benchmark, but we are ecstatic that it attained this whilst also reaching new audiences and expanding the scope of our entire industry” explains Rose Lappin, Director of Sales and Marketing. “We promised we would bring gaming to the masses, I think this is proof that we are heading in the right direction”.

You kind of prove my point here since you obviously care a lot of the sound and notice more then your average person. Most people probably don't even have surround sound speakers much less are able to tell the difference between the kinds. Game reviewers will knock a game for that and yet when a game like Dead Rising comes out and non-HD owners are actually hurt they never mention it. They don't have the concerns of the typical gamer and don't even realize them. This is the first time when extra hardware has actually mattered and they act like everyone has this (they don't) and if they do care as much about it as tech geeks like them.

Is Ninja Gaiden Sigma a remake of the xbox version with new content or is it something new?

Post by: Ceric on June 21, 2007, 04:08:48 AM: Methinks its a remake if memory serves. More people would car if it wasn't for the back progression of Music to MP3's. Seriously enough folks even RTS games, Warcraft3 is a good example, benefit when attention is paid to sound and the right equipment is used, which for PC gaming in most case a set of Surround or really good headphones work just as well. (They really do do a good job with Headphone surround its sort of surprising.)
Oh, well...

Anyways, Still more varied that what has been the norm in Japan Software. I also like to note that Thursday is when we normally get the hardware numbers and from the source of them the software numbers might also be going that way.

But either way Wednesday #'s won't go away, they will just be rounded off like they used to be way back when, kinda like Famitsu #'s.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on June 21, 2007, 03:37:17 PM: XBox 360 had the largest sales increase last week - it almost sold as many as PS3. Sony should REALLY be scared.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on June 21, 2007, 04:17:43 PM: Two Words. Trusty Bell. Though everyone had an increase over last week just not 199% like the 360 who was one of the only ones to have an increase the week before as well. If MS can keep this sales level with slight increases they may be considered viable. Though the chances of that happening is very slim.

How is it that the DS Phat is selling at 0 a week but the original GBA model is selling 24 this week? I can understand the Phat one is completely sold out by now, but shouldn't that have also long been the case with that battery sucking, non-backlit, GBA? Or are these sales figures of used units?

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 22, 2007, 04:17:25 AM: Chozo, as far as I know, those are new units being sold. Those original GBA's have to not be in production anymore and are probably sitting in some clearance bin next to the PS3's and the 360's.

Post by: Michael8983 on June 22, 2007, 07:45:25 PM: Yeah it looks like Japan may end up a one horse race. Not only in the hand held market but the console market as well!!
If that happens it's a safe bet that certain Japanese developers that have been almost exclusive to Sony for years now will be jumping ship - and FAST!!
Even if the Wii does eventually face harder times in the US market, its dominance in Japan is going to turn the gaming industry as we've known it for almost a decade on its head.

Post by: 31 Flavas on June 23, 2007, 10:51:19 AM: I know FF:XII RW hasn't been in the top 10 for a while, so the free data doesn't supply the sales numbers. But, does anyone know what the LTD sales of Revenant Wings are?

As far as SE support for Wii... We've already got three games. Dragon Quest Swords, Final Fastasy Crystal Chronicals: Crystal Bearers, and Chocobo's Dungeon: Labyrinth of Forgotten Time.

Support as in FF: XIII or XIV and Dragon Quest X is only a matter of time. I can't speak for SE, of course, but for the moment, I'd guess that SE is giving Sony the benefit of the doubt. I'd imagine, though, at maximum, that the doubt will only last till the end of fiscal '07, if x-mas sales don't seal the deal.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on June 23, 2007, 02:55:45 PM: Without rushing over to other forums, I'm guessing that FF:XII RW for the DS moved about 500k to 600k units in Japan?

If we assume it dropped 30% each week, then with the last 4 weeks, it has made about 486,000 copies. It's probably made more than that but that is what I come up with by the law of averages.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Deguello on June 25, 2007, 04:51:56 PM: Uhh Ceric... It is actually more than possible for that to happen.

The Wii only lacks about 265,000 units to 3 million. The PS3 lacks 71,000 to one million.

At the Wii's current rate, it will take a little over 4 weeks. The PS3 will take 7 at least, and that's if I be generous and round their sub 10,000 sales figures up to 10,000. For the PS3 to get to one million before Wii gets to 3, it'll take the Ps3 selling 17,750 each week, almost double what they have now.

But it also makes me wonder, why hasn't Microsoft purchased Sony? Since MS has said they are only in the gaming market to stop Sony wouldn't it make sense to just buy them out? MS has no problem bleeding billions on the xbox, so why not do this? If they can do it, I mean... aren't they wealthy enough to do it?

Are there any killer apps for the PS3 coming out in the next 4 weeks to boost sales and save Sony from this humiliation?
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Deguello on June 25, 2007, 07:45:26 PM: No not really. And the very end of 4 weeks from now, the hotly anticipated (by Sony fans) Hot Shots Golf 5 will be released, along with a PS3 price cut for the bundle. That might spark interest...

But the Wii is getting DRAGON QUEST in like, two weeks.

The Japanese government would never allow that to happen. I'm not too sure what this is all about exactly but from what I've heard, the Japanese government has certain things in place to prevent things like this from happening. This is because they are very much opposed to overseas companies taking over their own and have safeguards to prevent such things. And since Sony is one of Japans biggest companies, there's no way the Japanese government would let Sony get taken over without a huge fight.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Michael8983 on June 27, 2007, 10:50:24 AM: I'm being a little cautious but also optimistic. There's still the question of whether or not third-parties will jump aboard but we have EVERY reason to believe they will. The Wii is by far the cheapest and easiest console to develop for and is also selling leaps and bounds above the competition. I mean why WOULDN'T third-parties get on board? Even Sega which

The XBox 360 isn't going anywhere but its complete lack of presence in Japan is always going to hold it back. Even though it had a comparable amount of US support, the original XBox was never able to see the kind of sales the PS2 had because it couldn't match it's support from Japanese developers. Maybe Japan isn't the most important market but it is still vital and, if it wasn't, MS wouldn't have tried (and failed) to win it over as vigorously as they did.
I suppose anything is possible but once the tides have begun to change there's usually no going back.
It happened a decade ago with the PSX surpassing the N64 and it's happening again.
Once it became clear that Sony had stolen the attention of gamers everywhere away from the previous market leader, Nintendo fans anticipated every MAJOR release claiming any one game would steal it back.
Now PS3/360 fans are in the same boat, hyping future releasing as the "turning point" when their console will rise again and crush the Wii. But, just like before, it's just wishful thinking from loyal fans who aren't ready to admit that times have changed.

Here are the numbers unparsed at the moment. Its been a long week and I'll see if I can have them parsed tomorrow. Something is throwing off the parser and I can't track it down tonight. I know one thing in particular is that last weeks rank is no longer given in this particular version. We'll see when we get the slightly different numbers on Thursday, hardware and the other 20 in the top 50.
I rewrote the parser from scratch. It only took about 2 hours this time since I knew fully what I was doing. The back-end had changed some to compensate for the new way they are posting numbers. I think this will be more flexible making less downtime between scheme changes. Now just to see how the top 50 will be... (You might also not that the new stuff isn't there. How I calculated it before used the last week ranks.)

Post by: ShineGet887 on June 27, 2007, 04:49:48 PM: In response to the current sales numbers of the Wii, I have to say that I'm happy, but far from celebrating. How successful this console will be is heavily dependent on how much 3rd party support it can garner in its first year, and how much it can continuously have despite the dated graphics. For me, graphics aren't much of an issue, but what happens when the other consoles drop in price? It's hard to imagine the Wii's user base just abandoning it, but I think that given this possibility, the Wii will gain a sturdy lead in the first half of the generation, only to be fending off the competitors for the rest of it.

Who knows how it'll all work out in the end, what matters now is that Nintendo is doing great and is putting themselves in position to end the year with a huge lead over the competition.

I think you are underestimating what's happening. It's not traditional gamers that are driving Wii sales, although they are being taken along as well, but the system is also appealing to a group which is either new to owning a system or had previously lost interest.

For example, in my advertising class in college, we were able to pick a product in order to build a campaign around. 6 people in the class picked video game systems. Two of them were male, myself included for the Wii and another guy was doing the PS3. The other four were all women, each doing one for the Wii, two of which had never owned a video game system prior and one had stopped playing video games since the SNES before this point.

Because of this, I do feel that Nintendo has begun to reach their goal. They have grown the market, largely thanks to Wii Sports... a game that can't really be replicated on the other consoles. Sure this might end up being a very, very casual market that ends up with only a few Wii games in the end, but I do feel that appealing to this demographic would still ensure that hardware numbers outflank both the 360 and PS3 this generation due to what the Wii has to offer.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on June 27, 2007, 05:32:35 PM: Nice. Ninja Gaiden debuts at #3, then drops 16 spots. I'm kind of disappointed that Trusty Bell fell off, not that I've ever played the game or even like RPGs, but I thought it would have been awesome if MS had a game beat Sony 2 weeks in a row, and it probably would have pushed XBox 360's hardware sales over PS3's for the week. On the other hand, Nintendo owns that chart up and down.

Yes. YES. YES!

First you get the women. Then you get the power. Then you get the money.

*ahem*

But I DO think that it's a valid concenr over what happens 3,4, 5 years down the line. Will people want better graphics? Will the PS3 even survive 3 more years?

And sure, the PS3 and XBox 360 willd rop in price, but how will those systems at $200 or $300 contrast with a Wii at $99?

Post by: denjet78 on June 27, 2007, 07:44:22 PM: Would a PS3 or 360 price drop even put a dent in Wii sales? People seem to assume that it will but remember, the GC was always the least expensive console last generation but it still came in last place. Cost is a factor yes but even if you completely removed it from the equation I highly doubt we'd suddenly see the PS3 dominating. I'm not saying sales wouldn't be far closer, or that the PS3 might even be selling better than the Wii, but just that it wouldn't shift the market around to how it was last generation.

I think you are underestimating what's happening. It's not traditional gamers that are driving Wii sales, although they are being taken along as well, but the system is also appealing to a group which is either new to owning a system or had previously lost interest.

For example, in my advertising class in college, we were able to pick a product in order to build a campaign around. 6 people in the class picked video game systems. Two of them were male, myself included for the Wii and another guy was doing the PS3. The other four were all women, each doing one for the Wii, two of which had never owned a video game system prior and one had stopped playing video games since the SNES before this point.

Because of this, I do feel that Nintendo has begun to reach their goal. They have grown the market, largely thanks to Wii Sports... a game that can't really be replicated on the other consoles. Sure this might end up being a very, very casual market that ends up with only a few Wii games in the end, but I do feel that appealing to this demographic would still ensure that hardware numbers outflank both the 360 and PS3 this generation due to what the Wii has to offer.

On that opening statement, it's hard for me to be optimistic. Not to sound like a martyr or anything, but given my age, I never really saw the day that Nintendo was dominating, so the idea of them doing so now is still a little hard to believe. As for what you said about expanding the market, I absolutely agree, and if Nintendo can continue to build upon the momentum they've established, I see no reason for a major turn around to happen. They used this same sort of strategy with the DS, by expanding the market drastically with their product, they blew Sony and the PSP out of the water with a fairly weak and unattractive handheld in comparison.

One thing's for sure: If sales follow the track their currently on, Nintendo and Wii won't just win, they/it will -dominate-.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on June 27, 2007, 07:53:06 PM: Even if the PS3 drops in price, isn't its image forever tarnished as being a purely rich man's system? The 3DO system debuted at like $700 or something, and though by the end it was like $79 (or something) it never sold more than a million over its entire lifetime.

First impressions are difficult to shake... I mean, the N64 also sorta had that problem. I recall that games were initially about $90 when it first came out! It turned me completely off of gaming for a long time as a result. The PS3 will defintiely come down from $600, but how many people will still care when it finally reaches the sweet spot of $299?

Plus the games for it will likely always be $59.99 new, and that's a significant difference compared to $49.99 for Wii games... I just can't see the PS3 EVER recovering from this view people have of it being a console designed exclusively for the likes of Richie Rich.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on June 27, 2007, 11:50:29 PM: Well, the XBox 360 will get there first. Eventually the XBox 360 premium will hit $200, $250 dollars (maybe by Christmas '08?), and then wouldn't it be a very tempting offer? You could pick up excellent $20 - 30 bargain bin games by then, like Gears of War, Dead Rising, CoD 2, 3 AND 4... you could probably get Shadowrun for $5... AND Banjo and Kazooie 3 might've come out by then.

So, the question is, how does a $250 XBox 360 Premium (or a $200 XBox 360 Core with mem card) stack up against a Nintendo Wii at...say... $200. Would the XBox 360 have hit mass market point by then, or would the Wii's continual undercutting make it look just out of reach budgetwise? Would the market have more appreciation for graphics by then, especially at a mere $200-250 investment? Or would both systems co-exist peacefully, a fulfillment of the "and" system philosophy?

Hey, I'm with you. This is all pretty surreal.

But don't lose heart! Nintendo fans still have PLENTY to doom and gloom about: endless wiiports, endless "party games," not getting Soul Caliber IV or Resident Evil 5, lack of full and unequivocal third party support, difficulty of getting their own personal Wii SDK, desire for free XNA-like development environment, lateness of the WiiWare original downloadable games, awesomeness of downloadable games on PSN and XBLA, no good games on VC(an issue that differs each week), relatively uninspiring third party game sales, limited online for SSBM, no price drop, another year of hardware shortages and slow manufacturing, developer comments about how the Wii is not their bag, developer comments about how the PS3 IS their bag, Capcom continuing to throw most of their weight behind the XBox 360, EA ports, an extra 400 wiipoints they can't spend, Halo 3, MGS 4, Mass Effect, Dragons, Cliffy B.'s brother, lack of hard drive, cost of harddrive, ugliness of hard drive, no HD SD card support, lack of firmware updates, game delays, inability to find pads for DDR Wii, game droughts, wallet droughts, brain droughts, patches for VC games, Stan Beer from ITWire and the death of gaming in general.

Oh, and a lot of us will hate The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass too.

Unlike the 3DO, PS3 is a pretty desireable system with a strong brand, and we know it's going to have a full life. It's just not affordable. There won't be much of a problem shaking any negativity because it's image is otherwise a positive one to their market.

On the topic of developers, the talk about the switch to Wii is interesting, but some foolish people (on GameSpot and elsewhere) seem to be under the impression that it's some kind of permanant win and PS3 is on its last legs 7 months in. They'll eventually get developers support back once price and penetration normalize... Just hopefully not at Wii's expense later.

That's true. But at least we can be excited about this news:

- Variety Asia reported that the top three Japanese game publishers are redirecting their development resources from Sony and Microsoft platforms to Nintendo's. Bandai Namco will increase Nintendo platform development by 109% to 115 titles; Sega will increase support by 96% to 49 titles this year; and Capcom will increase 5% to 20 titles.

- UNCONFIRMED: In addition, Square Enix expressed that they do not plan to develop any more new titles for PlayStation 3 until the console install base rises to a profit making level.

And what do you guys think of this next piece?

- RUMOR: Sony will release a new "Waggle-Wall" bundle pack for PlayStation 2 in Christmas, for US$99, the Waggle-Wall is a Wii Remote type motion sensing controller, to compete with Wii. Sony has already registered the new controller for patent protection in December 2006.

Realize what you are saying. How long will it take for a what's a $600 system today to "normalize"?

If the system reaches a "decent" price by 2009, how much impact will it actually have with developers if its still a distant third and much more expensive to develop for than the market leader? Furthermore, games take awhile to produce. If we are looking at a shift at that time, wouldn't it mean that much of this software wouldn't see the light of day until 2010 or 2011... pretty much getting close to the launch of the next generation already.

All good questions. If MS is any indication, Sony could start to do significantly better business at $400, and IMO that will happen before the end of 2008, out of necessity. But developers won't wait to start development until then. They'll do their own due dilligence and project console sales as well as communicate with Sony about such things, so I don't think development lag at that point is a huge problem. They'll just sit on (or secretly complete) projects already in the works until the time is right to start back up. I think Sony's bigger problem is right now, between now and then, sitting on an unaffordable platform and the focus turning away from them until they have a reasonably priced system.

$400 for which model? I think the Elite dragging down 360 sales has proven that people can be easily bogged down by options, and will typically feel that the more expensive package is the "real deal".

If you are suggesting that would be for the "premium", I personally don't think Sony could financially afford to take a $200 price cut by next year. Lenders haven't been too optimisitc about the firm in response to the tremendous amount of dept they carry coupled with their outlook. This in turn has made it more expensive for Sony to carry on its large debt, and doesn't lead them in an ideal spot to just slash the price of the PS3 by 33%, regardless of how poor it might do.

Hell, it was projected that Sony would lose money in its game division for the first three or so years of operation with the PS3... which was made under the assumption they would be the market leader, although not with the same type of lead the PS2 enjoyed. That would have been okay if they also managed to trojan in the Blu-Ray format in the process, but that dream of being #1 is pretty much impossible now.

That sounds way too optimistic for Sony, IMO. Unless you are talking about porting over 360 games, and basically giving the system the same type of overall treatment that many publishers give the PSP.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on June 28, 2007, 07:47:02 AM: Big Brain Academy watch: This game could cement Nintendo's position with non-gamers. According to VGChartz, the game's second-week sales are almost equal to the first week, which is a hallmark of popular non-gamer products. Of course, VGChartz's data is not always accurate, but I'm still very interested to see if this trend continues.

Anyway, about PS3's price. The problem is that the competition is not static. I'd agree that Sony could sell a lot of PS3s at $400...right now. But in 16 months, Microsoft's price will definitely be lower than $400, third parties will have shifted even more resources away from Sony, and Nintendo could potentially have 32 million+ consoles in peoples' homes (if they are indeed manufacturing at 1.5 million per month).

The fact is, momentum is a big deal in this industry, and PS3's momentum is incredibly low right now. If this was anyone but Sony, every sensible person would agree that the PS3 is doomed to third place. If this year's price cut doesn't boost sales a lot, $400 at the end of 2008 will be too late.

Yeah, I remember the exact same thing happening back when the PSX first started overtaking the N64. Developers kept secretly making games for it just waiting for the market share to increase to a profitable level. It's not like they canceled all their big name N64 games and moved them over to the PSX. Games like Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid and Dragon Warrior VII.

Oh wait...

Yes they did.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on June 28, 2007, 07:12:07 PM: So is Sony's insistence on Blu-ray for the PS3 going to be their Achilles heel like Nintendo's insistence on Cartridges was for the N64?

I think it will be, but for completely different reasons. For the N64 the cartridge problem was that they couldn't hold a lot, and that certainly isn't the case with Blu-ray, BUT Sony's insistence on Blu-ray is why the PS3 costs what it costs. And isn't the profit margin on PS3 games going to be less than DVD games? I know blank Blu-ray discs cost like $30 each at Staples... you can get like a whole spindle of 50 blank dvds for that price. So if that is the case, then developers will have a smaller profit margin and this too will increase their reluctance in developing for it...

The problem with going with cartridges wasn't the space. That was an issue from a developer standpoint, of course, but the problem with cartridges was simply price. If Wikipedia is to be believed on the matter, the carts cost around $25 to produce compared to the 10 cents it cost to produce a CD on the PS1. This allowed Sony to release PS1 games that were about half the cost of N64 games. Something that, really, above all else won them that generation in the end.

Not surprisngly, this was stated as an issue by third parties even before the system came out too:

PS2 vs DS: At this week's rates, PS2 and DS meet in 18.0 weeks (October 28, 2007) at ~20.77 million units apiece.

It's already been said that Sony is charging more for royalty fees this generation. I don't know by how much but it's more than everyone else. Last gen Nintendo and Sony both charged $9 a unit while MS charged $8 hoping that that would bring in more developers. I don't know what MS is charging now but Nintendo is probably still charging $9, if not even less. But Sony has increased their rate. Most likely because of the extra cost of making games on BluRay. And to top it all off, you're forced to use BluRay. Sony won't let developers use DVD or even CD no matter what size the game is. That's a colossally waste if the game isn't built from the ground up for the PS3.

Professionally stamped media isn't on the same cost scale as low-volume burnable media. It's more expensive than DVDs, naturally, but not bank breaking. The talk in the professional forums is that it's a few dollars per unit for lower-volume (sub-10K) productions. I'd imagine it's cheaper for larger projects.

That's true. If Blu-ray costs only $2 a disc then that is still a HUGE difference over DVDs which may be like 10 cents a disc, or whatever. Granted, the price will probably go down... eventually, but it will probably always be more expensive, and if I am not mistaken there aren't really any PS3 games out now that need all the space Blu-ray gives, are there? It would be cheaper to break a game into 4-5 DVDs if it were necessary, than to put it on 1 blu-ray... and the number of games that would ever need that much space are very very small.

And then combine that media cost with what denjet78 said about Sony charging more royalties now and the profit margine shrinks even more... and then there is the cost of developing games for such advanced and complicated hardware, and finally the very very tiny installed base of potential game purchasers right now.

All of these factors (and perhaps others as well) make it very unsurprising that developers are pulling the plug on the PS3 and moving projects to other systems. Sony will probably be able to alleviate some of these issues over time, but I think they'll never rise above 3rd place this generation. That isn't to say they can't make the PS3 profitable (but that would be very very difficult in itself), or that they won't be alive and kicking for a PS4 in 5 years, but I'm firmly convinced they've lost this round.

The PS3 is basically a Ralph Nader, or at best a Ross Perot... by which I mean they won't win, but they might qualify for matching funds for the next battle in 4-5 years.

The disc cost will go down. All new media types go through this initial expensive stage. If Blu-ray continues to be doing "well" as a video medium then more of the disc will be made, etc, cost goes to where DVD are. Now the royalty is another story and that will not change. I think that will bite them more in the long run.

I worked for a company who job where to make prodcut lines and processes more efficient. Every cent made a big change.

Kerry would have took it if Perot ran, as he would have split the vote for Bush much more; in the same vein that Perot cost Bush senior his re-election.

Oh wait...

Yes they did.

Which means what that is relevant to this topic?

It's actually extremely relevant if you've been paying attention to how this industry works at all. If things continue the way they have by the time the PS3 becomes profitable, if it ever does, Wii will be so far ahead that there won't be any good reason to make games for the PS3 anyway. Developers aren't going to wait for Sony. They're going to go full steam ahead for the market leader. Sure, right now development is extremely expensive and a number of developers are worried that Wii is going to falter but if it takes this next holiday season by storm and the PS3/360 don't massively jump in week by week numbers on a consistent basis I'm pretty sure that most of those doubts will vanish.

Is that a pretense of huge games like MGS4 and FFXIII eventually being ported or moved to the Wii? Developers have already put a lot of effort into them for the super systems already, this is true. But the point is has that ever stopped a developer from canceling a game and moving it to a more profitable platform before? Besides, what's another million on top of the 15+ they've already spent in order to make a Wii port? Especially when it's almost guaranteed to sell far more than it will on any other system just based on market share alone.

If it comes down to it developers will cancel/port their games for the PS3/360 and move them to Wii if there is enough incentive no matter how far along into production they are. You really need to realize that this is a business and business does what is best for business. And right now, Wii IS the home video games business.

Post by: The Omen on July 01, 2007, 03:25:42 AM: You know what? Screw being overly cautious. I changed my mind. I will now gloat day after day about Nintendo dominance. I was a kid when Nintendo dominated, and it took a long time to get back to it. But it's here now and I don't want to waste my energy on what ifs...I'm going straight to what is. And what is happening is the Wii and DS are absolutely crushing all competition without any of the big three games out yet. Simply amazing turnaround.

About the graphics concern in 3-4 years. I have a feeling we may have a new Wii model, the Wii 2.0, which will be a significant upgrade, by 2010. If the Wii can keep momentum for the next two years, which It should, then Nintendo can announce the successor at E3 '09. I also believe the Wii 2.0 will be affordable because they will base it on the current tech. $250. Complete backwards compatibility with the Wii and VC libraries. And the installed user base will be huge by then. There's no stopping Nintendo now!

Feel free to relax and enjoy the ride.

I don't know. Is there a limit to how much progress they can get out of the Flipper and Gekko architectures? I can see Nintendo being forced to move towards new architectures in the future, and putting out a PS2-like machine which would include the old chips for hardware emulation of Wii and GC games.

But what we're always ignoring is the potential for new market disruptions and innovations. What happens when Sony and MS fully adopt waggle/pointing? What happens when they come up with innovative controllers of their own? Will Nintendo be ready?

I'm fully enjoying Nintendo's resurgence now, but I personally sense a looming MS innovation-stealing, casual chasing, developer moneyhatting, hardware improving, loss leading, mud slinging, hardcore frenzying, media darling next generation juggernaut.

I think that, by current tech, he means that they would use hardware with capabilities similar to the PS3, or 360.

Kairon, if the x86 is any indication then the answer is no. Though Intel did have a plan to finally move away from it but AMD ruined that. A mixed blessing.

The average person, which will make up the majority of Nintendo's sales, doesn't care one bit about graphics, and they never will.

I honestly don't know what makes people think that with X big budget title sporting great graphics, that all of the sudden the Wii is going to lose all its appeal. Gears of War, Resistance, Motorstorm, and countless other great looking games aren't doing anything to stop it, so what makes you think Killzone and Halo will? Or any game for that matter?

People are not buying the Wii because it's cheap.

They're not buying the Wii because they think it'll have awesome graphics.

They're not buying the Wii because they think it'll have an awesome online experience.

They ARE buying the Wii because it provides a unique and innovative way to play games.

Don't get me wrong, the Wii's price point isn't hurting it one bit, but I honestly believe that they could've launched the system at 300 dollars and have the same level of sucess.

The PS3 and 360's graphics may increase over time, but so too will the Wii's as developers figure out how to squeeze more out.... but hasn't Nintendo already proven that graphics don't matter in the scheme of things?

If anything they were too successful. I think even they underestimated demand, and some analysts are saying the shortage could even last into the summer of next year! I think the Wii would have sold out at even $350.... you gotta look at the price it is going for on Ebay. Whatever that is is what Nintendo should be charging, because that is where the demand level is at.

Post by: Mashiro on July 01, 2007, 07:12:42 PM: You know as "weak" as the Wii may be in terms of graphical power compared to the other next gen systems, I will always marvel at games like Resident Evil 4. The game STILL looks gorgeous and that was made on the Gamecube. Look at Twilight Princess, another beautiful game but even that was made pushing the Gamecube.

So if Wii is a bit more powerful than a GC, and we can get games that look like that, I'm happy.

Sure it wont be as good as 360 or PS3 but hey graphics aren't everything and it's not like the graphics are ugly. Far from it, the games still can look beautiful.

Look back at the history of systems: was N64 more visually impressive than the PS? Sure, but as we all know graphics don't just win the market.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on July 01, 2007, 07:42:28 PM: Of course, if I was a fanboi of another system, I'd respond by saying that:

1. The GC may have been more powerful than the PS2, but only a few people could tell the difference. Now, the disparity is so large that it's easy to see the difference.

2. A lot of the Wii's demand is currently being driven by non-gamers and casuals, and thus it doesn't mean necessarily follow that the mass market, mainstream gamer will be so accepting (who's currently sitting pretty with his PS2, working a second job in preparation for the future to arrive) .

3. Aside from graphics, the Wii's basic lack of high-end hardware is ALREADY leaving it behind in GAMEPLAY terms: AI, numbers of enemies on screen, procedural animation, living virtual dynamic worlds, secondary (HD) storage for advanced game features, and lots and lots of bloom lighting.

4. Ken Kutaragi has not left us. He's merely taking a well deserved nap in his ultra high tech germanium-tungsten coffin, recharging his immense and godlike powers, so that he may arise one day fully renewed and rejuvenated, ready to bend us to his will, making us bow at the nearest convenient PS3 technical altar to his greatness.

5. Ditto for J. Allard. Except J. Allard is bald. Which makes him cooler. Duh.

... but I'm not a fanboi of another system. *shrug* I just read about them on the internet.

I don't think so.. we're talking on the Internet where most people have developed an extremely critical eye for graphics. If you make average people look at Wii games in comparison to those on the other systems, especially on a standard def TV (which most people have), they wouldn't be able to notice much of a difference. Hell, I still can't really tell if a game is technically graphically impressive or not, jargon be damned.

We also have to take into account that all the horrible ports are sure to make a bad impression graphically. But the PS2 had an even greater amount of ugly games than the Wii does. Comparing Far Cry Wii to Gears of War is like comparing, say, The Simpsons Skateboarding on PS2 to RE4 on GameCube. Once developers actually start putting effort into the visuals, the gap will be narrower.

But in the end, all of this talk about graphics just doesn't matter.. look how the PS2 turned out and how the Wii looks to be turning out.

1.) The N64 had a huge and noticeable disparity in graphics capability over the PS and the PS still outsold it by a wide margin. Heck, the PS was a 32 bit system and the N64 was 64 bit. That meant the N64 was twice as good!

2) A lot, but not all. Red Steel sold over a million, and Zelda TP is selling very well also.

3) I don't own a Wii yet myself so can't comment on this.

No point in responding to 4 and 5.

Yeah, the wildcard that simply hasn't figured in ANYONE's analysis because it has virtually no historical precendence, is the wiimote. Even if you acknowledge its existence, how can you estimate its importance using anything other than the warm fuzzy feeling in your gut?

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Deguello on July 02, 2007, 01:17:02 PM: Actually one thing I would like to address is this pointless perception that the Wii will be getting low budget games because of this 1984-ish retrofit concept of the weaker console getting low budget games. The problem is, in order to believe this line of thinking, you first need to convince yourself that FFXII and MGS3 are low-budget games. Budgets are decided regardless of platform.

On the subject of 1984-ism. Analysts have recently done something similar to that in the form of talking about the History of Sony's launches. A DFC analyst said "Sony has historically been slow out of the gates with their video game hardware systems." This is just flat wrong, as the PS2 sold a million in launch weekend, which I believe is still the record. "We have always been at war with Eastasia" indeed.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: that Baby guy on July 02, 2007, 03:12:34 PM: Analysts have been trying to positively qualify for Sony how these events have operated since the whole PS3/Wii debacle started. The fact is that the unbearably expensive console has always failed. On top of that, we've seen that the systems that are released with about a year of extra time sell well. The result: The PS3 flops. That was obvious. The 360 excels early. That was a given too. The Wii, with it's price, exclusives, and new control was also destined to start strong, like the N64 did with mostly new 3D worlds.

The difference? Whereas Sony had a head start, a better storage medium, and general developer support to power them through their first generation, now they really have none of these. Last gen, Sony had a huge head start, along with untruthful, but powerful statements about power, they were able to defeat the Dreamcast before it launched, while instantly selling out for months, due to the belief that the system is amazing. Essentially, it was able to kill the GC and Xbox, too, solely from the momentum the developers picked up on it.

This generation, the 360 came first, with a strong start, but Sony's untruthful lines about the PS3 and Blu-ray's abilities kept the majority of developers and consumers waiting to see. What happened? E3. People saw that Microsoft had a solid line planned out, the Wii truly had the option to create brilliant control, and the PS3 decided it would be $500 or more, without any major draw beyond the 360. At this point, I think everyone should have seen that the PS3 was going to receive a poor reception, knowing that price does matter, and that the other two consoles both seemed to be doing great.

Now, the Wii looks like it might push past the 360 this year. Why? One part because of the PS3's wait, one part because of the pretty large price difference in comparison to perceived value, one part hardware issues, and one part a slow Spring and Summer for games in general. When the Wii is still selling out from one specific title, a slow Summer doesn't matter too much for that particular system, whereas it has hurt the 360 quite a bit.

Quote
...
"Despite its penetration pace being slower than that of the PS2 (3,267,000 units sold as of its 30th week mark) or the GBA (3,306,000 units sold as of its 30th week mark) the Wii's total software sales have been far in excess of these other systems' in terms of volume –thanks to its outstanding software-hardware tie ratio, which ranks it the highest among all the gaming devices released since 1996," said the report.
...
On the software side, Nintendo's platforms are winning out as well. Nearly 1.7 million units of DS software and 392K units of Wii software were purchased during June. Together, the two systems controlled over 81 percent of the software market – very impressive.

Not sure what this is, but from the title it seems like something Jack Thompson would start randomly filing lawsuits over, lol.

Since seeing another game in the series on the charts a couple months back I've been watching the Anime which is funny.

Actually, it's nice to see some new "faces" up there. I also wish DK Jet still had Bongo support, alas.

Anyway, as for sales, I'm assuming Nintendo is still pwning. Nothing new here, move along........

So they're going to look at how well a spin-off does and then decide if they're going to bring the main franchise to the console? Talk about stupid. And what the heck happened to the whole "We put it on the system with the largest userbase" line they were spouting before as the reason for putting the last two titles on Sony systems?

Sounds way too much like double speak. As if they're still waiting for the floor to fall out from under the Wii and the PS3 to steamroll right over it. I'm pretty sure we all know that's never going to happen by now.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: IceCold on July 13, 2007, 09:43:52 PM: They did the same thing with the DS with Rocket Slime, and Slime Mori Mori and Monsters Joker.. DQIX was on the DS because Square just didn't have a choice.. With the DS absolutely dominating Japan, and with DQ a primarily Japanese-focused game, it just made too much sense. I mean, you can only shaft Nintendo for so long until you realise that you're shooting yourself in the foot by not supporting them.

Are you listening Capcom, SEGA?

Post by: 31 Flavas on July 18, 2007, 09:48:58 PM: 26 out of the top 30 games are on Nintendo hardware, not bad. Honestly, all that is left is for Nintendo to sweep the Top 30. Sweeping the entire Top 50 is gonna be a bit harder. There are always new games coming out.

DQ Swords sales are not bad at all either. Weren't first day sales in the neighborhood of 200,000? Then the 36,000 units sold during the rest of the week, I guess, means it sold out pretty much completely.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on July 18, 2007, 10:07:50 PM: Square-Enix is proving that original third party games can sell well on Nintendo consoles. Hopefully other companies follow suit, and if they do then we could actually see a top 30 of games for Nintendo hardware in Japan.

4 games from dominating all 30 is frustratingly close.... it is within Nintendo's grasp.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on July 19, 2007, 05:32:39 AM: The difference between Famitsu & Media Create are rather large when it comes the the DQS #'s.
Famistu has it @ 200k 1st day / 300k+ 1st week, media create undertracked it I think(hope). Expect good second week #'s from MC and lower #'s from Famitsu.

PS3 has only sold 1 million according to Famitsu, but since we go by MC its all a lie. Sony has sold no more than 15k this week, and it will take them atleast another week to hit the 1 million mark.

edit Looks like MC has fixed their DQ:S mistake and now has the opening week up to 305k. They must have forgot to count a few retailers out there.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on July 19, 2007, 06:59:23 AM: I think Sony paid them to annouce that since they wanted to be at 1 million b4 the Wii hit 3 million.
I don't even think PS3 has hit 1 million even by Famitsu's own weekly hardware count. Especially not 1.1 million

Well, Sony has been known to lie... and maybe they are just reporting shipped numbers like they typically do?
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Spak-Spang on July 19, 2007, 08:57:32 AM: So when will the Wii be considered a success and not a fad?

Is it when Wii surpasses the Xbox 360 is sales?
Is it When Wii software figures compete or surpass Microsoft and Sony's numbers?
Is it when Wii 3rd party software figures compete or surpass the competition?
Or is it only after the Wii manages to sustain a constant and growing led over the competition?

No, truth is...to hardcore gamers and many 3rd party developers the Wii will never be considered a success. Because the technology is old, and the graphics aren't "competitive" with the other consoles.

Well, Xbox 360s big break is going to start with the launch of Halo 3, and continue through this holiday season. I will dare say that it will be its last chance to truly secure the market lead it has established. And let me just say Microsoft has a great list of games to compete...but I wonder if they are not going to all compete with the same audience and market and canabize eachothers sales...or if it will actually attract new hardware sales.

Wii on the other hand, will continue to have a great year and led into next year...Nintendo even has some of their biggest guns coming out this year, and unlike Microsoft Nintendo's lineup of big games is quite diverse. Metroid Prime 3, Galaxy, Brawl, Battalion Wars 2, and Forever Ocean all these games fill a different genre gap in the Wii launch lineup...and even hits niche markets. Wii's 3rd parties take care of the more mainstream gaming audience with Madden, Medal of Honor, Raving Rabbids 2 ect...

Exactly

Microsoft can never be the market leader because their systems are nothing more then a niche for Western style sports, shooters and action games. To the rest of the world and even here in America, Microsoft doesn't have enough variety to appeal to the average gamer because the average gamer has many different taste. When your biggest title, Halo 3 is a first person shooter, and your other big titles like Bioshock are also first person shooters, who exactly is that going to appeal to besides the hardcore Western gamer?

This is why I see Nintendo easily dominating this fall even against Halo 3. Because Nintendo has the variety to appeal to nearly all types of gamers, while Microsoft will be appealing only to their already niche audience. Even though Halo 3 has huge selling power, Mario Galaxy and Smash Bros combined have much more. And the fact that Mario Galaxy and Smash Bros are coming out within a month of each other and just in time for the holiday season, I see those two games creating an unstoppable juggernaut in sales this Christmas.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Spak-Spang on July 19, 2007, 10:44:05 AM: Well here is another question to ask.

All of the games Microsoft has appeals to the market they already have. There may be some gamers waiting for Halo 3 before plunging into a system...but really 10 Million gamers is their standard base, and I don't see gigantic jumps this holiday season.

On the other hand, Nintendo Wii sales have been strong from two markets, the Nintendo fans and the expanded market. And since the Wii has been sold out and difficult to find that means these markets are not tapped yet. Many Nintendo fans have been waiting for Mario or Brawl...but many more hardcore gamers have been waiting to make the plunge for these games and second generation third party games.

As such I really see the Wii picking up steam throughout the Summer. Starting the end of July Nintendo is going to be releasing one gamers game each month until next year. As well, starting in September the flood of 3rd party holiday releases will start.

This is vastly different to Microsoft whose lineup is very heavy for winter releases in November, and not as spread out.

I can afford to pick up one game a month...I can not afford to pick up 3-4 games a month. I am sure many gamers will be in the same boat I am in.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on July 19, 2007, 11:48:33 AM: I am in the same boat. I can definitely afford 1 game a month. I can't justify buying more than maybe 2 games a month though. Of course, only the games on the Wii and DS are really exciting me at the moment (of course, that may because I don't have the other systems), except for maybe Blue Dragon and I'm not getting a 360 for one game, especially with it possibly breaking on me pretty quickly.

VGChartz or not considering the unconfirmed failure rate for the 360 (30-35%) Wii probably already has a larger installed userbase as it is, and may have had for a while. You have got to know that MS is including replacement systems in their total. Both Sony and MS will do anything and everything to fudge their numbers whenever possible. Of course neither one will admit that.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BigJim on July 19, 2007, 12:44:22 PM: No, it's is not known, if not doubtful, that they count a replacement as 2.

Their 360 number is probably a little low, but it doesn't really matter. They'll probably pass 360 before the holidays. 360 will take it back over the holidays (by virtue of having supply) and then Wii will take it back again for good sometime in 08. IMO.

I remember when I was growing up in Vancouver, B.C. my family would drive south to Bellisfair for shopping excursions outside of Canadian taxes at least monthly, and the car line-up to cross the border would take an hour to get through... and then sometimes going back to Canada we'd have to get out of the car and let them inspect our purchases and also do something in person at the DMV-like offices they had...

I'm actually pretty shocked (and happy) to see RE4 on there, especially since it was released on June 19th - well into the month, and that alone is a MAJOR blow to Sony, seeing as a game that's been released on now it's 4th system sold better than any PS3 or PSP game, WAY better.

No matter how good the game is on Xbox 360 or PS3 it will never ever ever be as good as it could be on the Wii. Wii has the best controls ever for RE and nothing will change that fact and I for one will never play another RE without Wii controls. It'll just feel like clunky gameplay all over again.

The best part about Nintendo dominating are the other console fanboys.

I'm sure that Gundam and 3 other games would have appealed to the Japanese alot better than either of those unproven heavily westernized games.

You sound like you have specific titles in mind but I can't figure out which ones.

Also, they aren't westernized, they are made in the west.

I did have other titles in mine, but I couldn't remember what they were called.
One was Virtua Fighter 5 though, so that leaves 2 more that I can't think of.

62. (Wii, Nintendo) Fire Emblem: Goddess of Dawn - 153,397

I'm surprised no one is mentioning this. Fire Emblem on the Wii has now sold around the same as the it did on the Gamecube in Japan. The difference is, Fire Emblem for the Gamecube made up it's entire sales it's first few weeks and then died. The Wii Fire Emblem on the other hand had lower sales it's first several weeks but has been hanging in there for the last several months and has now reached what it's Gamecube counterpart has.

This is a perfect example of how it looks like Wii games will have great legs in Japan.

You're right, it would sell a hell of a lot better if it were a Wii game, and I think most 3rd parties already realize that they bet on the wrong horse. But everyone knows that its called a Wii-mote and not a Wii-wand you Harry Potter fan!!!!

50./00. [GC] Gotcha Force (Capcom)

I can't believe it. This is the first time since I started making the parser that a Gamecube game has made the top 50. I had to change it to compensate because I hadn't originally put the code in for it. This last week has been all sorts of weird. I'll have to make sure all to up SalesBot power system at this rate...

Post by: Kairon on August 04, 2007, 10:15:21 PM: I hear that Dewy's Adventure bombed with around 1500 copies sold... waaaaaaah.

Nintendo needs to cross-advertise this game because Konami is just sending it out to die, then use it as an excuse to not release games on the Wii. GRRRR...

Also, I hear that Forever Blue (Endless Ocean to us) did about 10k which is a success considering the previous game did 30k lifetime sales. Unfortunately, people are saying that the game is riddled with game ending bugs and desperately needs a recall. Oh well, at least they'll have it fixed for America won't they?
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mario on August 05, 2007, 05:11:29 AM: 10,000 is INCREDIBLY disappointing for such a game. However maybe people are just waiting for those bugs to be ironed out. At least it'll break into the top 50 though unlike poor poor Dewy. Looks like 360/PS3 is pretty much the confirmed place for any hardcore games to be headed from now on, a real shame the hardcore Wii audience didn't step up. Or maybe they did but the percentage of hardcore Wii owners is just that low.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on August 05, 2007, 06:56:36 AM: Well the two previous Ever Blue games only sold about 3k and 1.5k on their first day(Forever Blue first day sales are in the DS Sales Thread) so its actually a very good start considering that. First week sales are going to be around 15k since there is a bug that can shut the game down 100% of the time. But I'm still not sure how Nintendo is gonna handle that situation since doing a recall might really hurt the sales and selling a game that you can't play might damage your credibility.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mario on August 05, 2007, 10:34:20 PM: Nah i'm serious. Dewy is the exact same as these dweebs on forums said Wii HAD to have, a new high quality original IP game by a third party that takes advantage of Wiis hardware, and then it comes out and nobody buys it. Why should third parties listen to what anyone says now? They wont. Wii owners said they'd buy games like Dewy, but it looks to be a big fat lie. Think of the poor developers that were tricked.

Oh well there's still time and other territories for it to succeed in.

Post by: Spak-Spang on August 06, 2007, 02:13:28 AM: Sometimes it takes time for games to pick up excitement and sell. Word of mouth has to spread. I think we should wait for around a month to see how Dewy is doing.

As well, I have the question of whether or not the game is any good, because that can affect sales as well.

Yeah I agree completely.

That's the risk of making a new IP and why companies tend to shy away from it. It's hard to establish something new but in time if its good it can definitely pick up a following and be successful.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Michael8983 on August 06, 2007, 07:08:58 AM: We'll have to wait and see how Dewy does in the US where Elebits had a surprisingly strong following.

But I mean, they can't ALL be winners.
Elebits was proof an original IP can be a success on the Wii, but maybe Dewy is just a little too screwy for any kind of mass appeal.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on August 06, 2007, 08:37:09 AM: If Dewy had his own breakfast cereal and fruit snacks to coincide with the game, maybe he'd stand a chance.

Raving Rabbids, (Yes, it is a Rayman sequel but also entirely different)
Elebits,

All these games prove that new IPs can make it on the Wii, even if they are not great games.

Heck, the Wii launch with Nintendo projects was mostly original IPs.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on August 06, 2007, 07:53:07 PM: I think the problem with Dewy might have been poor advertisement on Konami's part. Now I don't live in Japan but when a game sells that low, something has to be up. It's like last gen when companies would quietly release their Gamecube titles with little to no advertisement so no one even knew the games existed. Then they'd go on to blame Nintendo for the games failure, even though it was the Nintendo fans that actually bought the game because they were the ONLY people that knew the damn thing even existed in the first place.

Post by: bustin98 on August 06, 2007, 08:23:21 PM: They've been treating the Nintendo userbase like crap since N64 it seems. I did buy Castlevania and Hybrid Heaven, but they could have released at least something along the lines of a AAA title somewhere with Nintendo in the past 15 years.

Actually they treat the handheld's like crap as well. Just read my old topic related to this matter here.

Even though it's the Nintendo audience and the GBA and DS that have been keeping the Castlevania series alive over the last several years, IGA says that the Sony audience is where the real fanbase is at and that us Nintendo fans are all young kids that are scared of Ayami Kojima artwork.

To Konami, anything that's not a Sony system is pretty much second rate and not even worthy of their time. Of course after Metal Gear Solid 4 bombs horrible because the PS3 is pretty much a dead system and everyone at the company losses their shirt, maybe then they'll rethink their policies on who to give support to.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kenology on August 07, 2007, 11:11:19 AM: Dewy's Adventure is hardly interesting at all to be quite honest.

But I think Konami did show *some* love during the N64 days... I actually enjoyed Castlevania (and it's re-release, Legacy of Darkness) as well as Hybrid Heaven - which I thought was pretty innovative and still has potential to be a solid IP in the hands of one of Konami's premiere AAA dev teams. Let's not forget those two wonderful Goemon games either... But now that I think of it, I don't even own a single Konami game on the Cube... and I have over 50 Cube games. (I might have to double check on not having a Konami game, but I'm pretty sure I don't.)

But nowadays it seems like we don't get any respect from Konami. And I say, let them focus on the PS3 - too bad for them - cause MGS4 isn't gonna do anything for that systems sales. Yeah, we'll see a spike, but nothing with legs.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on August 07, 2007, 12:31:49 PM: SSBB will be the best Metal Gear game this gen. And the last.

Plus we get our own non-Mario themed DDR game which sounds like it'll have a lot more songs than Mario DDR.

In fact, they have released more this year for the Wii than the gamecube in any year, and all of their GC games were ports or dumbed down versions of their popular franchises. I personally think they are actually starting to step up for the Wii rather than treat it like crap.

That sounds about right. Though it may drop to 14 and 14 when the occasional new PS2 or PSP game shows up for one week, two at most.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: MLS_man_64 on August 13, 2007, 10:47:39 AM: Huge accomplishment for Nintendo today. Gamestop.com has given Nintendo primary billing on its website. http://www.gamestop.com/ Notice that both the Wii and the DS are now the two primary tabs on the top left.

This is a very good sign, because it shows confidence in Nintendo by Gamestop to give them top billing on their site. Previously, this honor was reserved for the Playstation brand, and over the last year, the Xbox brand.

Wii are winning!

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: 31 Flavas on August 13, 2007, 03:36:43 PM: Heh.... impossible? I don't know about you Pro, but with the Wii selling out every week for the past 9 months, I think retailers are going to notice and care.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: SalesBot on August 15, 2007, 09:38:34 PM: Nintendo Wii = THe Hottest Selling Console in the UK
Quote
The Nintendo Wii is on course to hit one million sales in the UK within three to four weeks, according to official sell-through figures from Chart-Track.

Currently the console is outselling the 360 in the UK by over four to one, and the PS3 by more than six to one each week. If it keeps it up, it should pass the GameCube's lifetime UK sales figure of just over a million by the end of September.

Naturally, then, its next milestone will be to overhaul Microsoft's lead in the UK - which, if the current trend continues, could be before the end of October.

Last known numbers for the UK (according to NeoGAF)

Chart Track (June 9th)

360 - 1,193,088
Wii – 618,278
PS3 – 281, 977

I don't know if you trust vgchartz, but that's where they currently rank sales in the UK:

360: 1,253,592
Wii: 921,721
PS3: 337,402

German LTD's up to the end of july according to GfK:

PS3 - 99,500

Click through to see July numbers and more Nintendomination.

Victoly! Man... it really lookms like the XBox 360 sales have hit a brick wall. MS has GOT to drop prices again even more if they want to succeed anywhere outside of the USA.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on August 18, 2007, 05:06:28 AM: 31 Flavas - you realize that Famitsu is usually posted in the DS sales thread every week. Usually on a Tuesday nite or Wed. morn.
I guess Salesbot decided to take a break this week since MC took a break till next week because of some Japanese holiday and July NPD doesn't come out till next week too.

Oh, and WiiSports will hit Diamond(10 million I think) in sales WW before the end of the year
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on August 19, 2007, 12:35:59 AM: Well, Germany has no trouble getting Wiis as there are big piles of them everywhere. Delivering enough to meet demand seems to be a good way to get sales :P.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on August 22, 2007, 03:19:22 PM: Don't go claiming that as official just yet, it is from VGChartz.com and we now how their info can be a little wishy washy at times.

wishy washy... is that a real term that people use or did I just make that up?
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on August 22, 2007, 04:20:36 PM: real. The term that is.

The "passes XBox 360 worldwide" statement will be much less disputable once Wii HW shipments pass XBox 360 HW shipments.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on August 22, 2007, 04:28:19 PM: Well NPD does come out tomorrow, so we will have more concrete numbers to support the claim.
Media Create Hardware also comes out tomorrow, but it looks like Famitsu has already been posted in the DS Sales thread.

Maybe Sales bot will also have some WW sales #'s ready to go by the time I get off work tomorrow.

Wait, don't forget that the temporary price drop happened in July... so I wouldn't pat PS3 on the back too hard for this since that price level won't stay.

Should be interesting to see what Bioshock does, the game has a ton of hype now. Regardless you know Halo 3 will be a system seller.

Oh most definitely...But that's also why I think BioShock personally won't do anything for HW sales; people are waiting for Halo 3 and would rather get that...

Post by: Chozo Ghost on August 23, 2007, 01:33:01 PM: The extreme rise in Wii sales has to be from when Nintendo ramped up production back in April or whenever it was. I guess it just took that long for it to have an impact... hopefully that holds out.

The 60gig PS3 is still available at most retailers. Sony manufactured a lot of those things. So they will probably still be on shelves for a while longer. Amazon has them in stock.

Actually, wasn't June a 5 week month and July a 4 week month according to NPD dates? The PS3 sales actually increased to 200% over June's figures, if you factor in the shorter reporting period.

I wonder what it would take to make the 360 appeal to the Japanese market...

How about consistently making games which appeal the average Japanese gamer? They did make Blue Dragon and that caused 360 sales to jump for awhile, but they didn't follow through on that with anything else.

Microsoft has zillions of dollars in the bank so they could force out Japanese approved content by the truck load, but they aren't doing that. Instead they focus on Halo and similar games which appeal primarily to Western gamers.

Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Spak-Spang on August 24, 2007, 06:39:49 AM: I doubt Halo 3 will make Xbox 360s jump off the shelf.

Xbox 360 has already released several games that appeal to the exact same demographic as Halo 3. Meaning, that those who want to play Halo 3 have probably already bought an Xbox 360 for other games similar. I am sure there are several people that have been waiting for Halo 3 to buy Xbox 360, but I doubt that number is going to create a drastic increase in Xbox 360 sales.

I however do not believe the same about the Wii. I think there are several people waiting for certain games to come out before buying a Wii.

A gamer who enjoys Wario Ware may not enjoy Prime 3...and vice versa so people may be waiting for a Wii for Prime 3.

The same can be said about almost all of Nintendo's first party games coming out THIS year because they are all drastically different genres, and have large mass appeal.

I am very curious to see if BioShock creates a large jump in sales for the 360, because that is about the jump I expect to see when Halo 3 comes out.

On the other hand, I don't expect to see jumps in Wii sales, mainly because they will all be sold out anyway, so how can a jump be created when stock can't stay on the shelf.

I agree... however, a price cut + Halo 3 could be a strong team in picking up 360 sales (maybe they will finally pass the PS2?)

On a random note, this GAF gif must be shared:

I agree. From Nintendo's point of view it doesn't matter if people are waiting for games before buying their systems, because they sell out of Wiis regardless. It might matter more to them if they were like Sony and lost money on each hardware sale and had to make it up with games sales, but they don't They profit handsomely from even the hardware sales, so they can bid their time on the games and space them out and give them the extra spit and polish necessary to make them perfect.

That's also pretty much why the Wii game library isn't that impressive right now. But by Christmas that will change. Hopefully Nintendo manages to increase Wii shipments by then...
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on August 28, 2007, 05:53:05 AM: I think Halo 3 is definitely going to have an effect on Hardware sales...Microsoft claims that a large percentage of 360 owners were not Xbox 1 owners, and even if you don't believe that, there are still 10-15 million Xbox owners have yet to buy a 360 based on hardware sales.

I think the lack of Halo and the lack of a price cut have both been holding back sales and I believe there will be a noticeable jump...but that's not to say that I disagree with the "360 aleady has the Halo demographic covered" argument. In the bigger picture, Halo 3 will sell systems, but it won't sell systems to people that think Xbox 360's current lineup is boring...just people who needed that extra justification to spend the money.

People who think 360's lineup is boring need more games like Blue Dragon and Viva Pinata. Microsoft is trying to bring those to market, but I think Nintendo's two previous home consoles proved that buying exclusives is not the way to broaden your game selection...it can result in an awesome cult classic lineup (N64), but you'll never compete with pure third party domination.

Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Resident Evil and Metroid Prime could not shake the "for kids" badge, and Viva Pinata and Blue Dragon won't shake the "for young males" badge.

Post by: ShyGuy on August 28, 2007, 08:48:01 AM: You know, I was at Target and Wal-Mart last night (looking for early copies of Prime3) and both stores had a few Wiis on the shelf.

WII FAD IS OVER CONFIRMED. SELL THEM FOR KINDLING ON EBAY AS QUICK AS YOU CAN

Post by: Nemo on August 28, 2007, 08:54:52 AM: I still have never walked into a store and seen a Wii sitting on a shelf.

Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on August 28, 2007, 09:07:12 AM: Don't worry, demand has already dropped to ZERO and this thread will have nothing to report.

I'm surprised Wii doesn't have a SALES CHARTS CHANNEL. It'd be more fun than Zelda.

A PS3 sales chart would be more fun than Killer7.

Nah, it will stop before that because each Nintendo console sells worse than the one before. So this one will probably do 15 million at the MOST.

Post by: Kairon on August 28, 2007, 10:23:29 AM: Nintendo's producing them too fast then, a critical error. If they had produced them slower, they could've stretched those 15 million of sales out over the next 1.5 years that the Wii has left to live before the bubble bursts.

The Wii has 4 potential killer apps...Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros Brawl, and Wii Fit. Wii Fit will barely outsell Mario...but it will sell more systems than HALO 3. Yes...the force is strong with that prediction.

Holy crap how did you know that about Target? I was just there yesterday and saw them as well. The one in Natomas off Truxel Rd also had a ton as well.

I think Mario Kart will also get people to buy as well.

Holy crap how did you know that about Target? I was just there yesterday and saw them as well. The one in Natomas off Truxel Rd also had a ton as well.

Dude, I was at that Target after i got off work to get toilet paper. But I always check the important sections of the store on every visit.

My apartment is a 20sec drive from Target's parking lot =D

I could see it happening but I can't help but wonder when a Wii Sports 2, which could be an even bigger seller, is coming out.
I thought for sure Nintendo was going to throw it together in a year's time to make it the big non-gamer AAA title of this holiday season.
With Wii Fit supposedly delayed to next year, it seems like Nintendo's holiday line-up is almost STRICTLY for real gamers.

Hey, fine by me! But seriously, I think a few of the casuals will try their hand at Mario Galaxy and even Brawl though.

Post by: Spak-Spang on August 29, 2007, 08:36:45 AM: I think Nintendo is working on making Wii Fit the next big game, and then Wii Sports 2 will work with the Balance Board and the Wiimote. Oh yes, that says killer APP X 2. And if people did not buy Wii Fit, then they can buy Wii Sports 2 with the Wii Fit Board. Allowing for Nintendo and 3rd parties to know that every Wii will have the balance Board or two at home.

Post by: Ian Sane on August 29, 2007, 11:04:50 AM: "Wii Fit will barely outsell Mario"

Worldwide it might due to Japan's love of non-games but I think in North America Mario will sell better. The west still likes the gamer games. Wii Sports' popularity is partially due to the activities in those games being fun stuff North Americans like in real life. We like to golf and bowl, etc. so a game that simulates the experience better than any other game is going to attract attention. But excercise? That's work. I don't think it will have the same appeal. In Japan non-games that could be considered educational software like those language teaching games are popular but they haven't even been released here. I imagine Wii Fit will be huge in Japan and will underperform here. Wii Sports 2 however would sell huge as would sports games that use the same controls but are expanded to use real leagues and players (ie: MLB licenced baseball game, PGA licenced golf game).

I see it differently. I think Wii Fit will be HUGE in America... but once buying it, people won't actually use it much as they are too lazy. It will be doomed to the same fate as the exercise bike sitting in a lot of American's garages...

I can't believe I didn't realize it sooner. THIS is why Nintendo delayed Wii Fit.
Around the holidays Americans get fat then come New Years they all make those resolutions to get in shape. That's why gyms get so many new members at the start of the year. If Nintendo releases Wii Fit in the first quarter it can capitalize on this phenomenon. This may be the only "game" ever that could be more successful if released in the usually dead first quarter than it would be if released in the holiday season when we're all stuffing our faces with turkey and cookies and making coat racks out of those old exercise bikes we bought last January.

Still I wish Nintendo had SOMETHING for the non-gamers this year. I mean how hard would it have been to throw together a Wii Play 2 if nothing else.

Well, anymore non-games this year and Ian and company would go off the deep end about how Nintendo is punishing its loyal fans. Not like they aren't already, but you get the picture.

As much as the "intarwebz" like to proclaim Nintendo idiots without a clue... Nintendo is not stupid. And I could totally see this as their US strategy for Wii Fit.

Post by: SalesBot on August 30, 2007, 05:04:01 AM: The Wii has sold over one million consoles in the UK

Quote
The Nintendo Wii has become the fastest-selling games console in UK history, with more than one million consoles sold since it was released in December, latest figures show.

The Wii passed the milestone just 38 weeks after going on sale, 11 weeks faster than the PlayStation 2 took to reach this target, and 22 weeks faster than the Xbox 360, according to Chart Track, an independent sales tracking company for the gaming industry.

David Yarnton, general manager of Nintendo UK said: "The non-stop demand for Wii, even in the traditionally slow sales period for video games in the UK, is clearly behind this record-breaking achievement."

This game of Risk® is almost over, with only a few territories left to conquer.

Exactly, it's all about image. The GC was see as a little kids toy. The Wii is seen as fun for the whole family including grandma and since it still sells out, that makes it seem cool to the teenage image conscious kids.

Turns out they weren't the coolmakers. Their MOMS were.

And it has a kind of normal price compared to what I had to pay for an original console, my fear of a damaged console is too big to risk getting a modded one though, and my wallet had to suffer because of it.

Yeah, that DOES seem the smarter thing to do. But... *shrug* I guess I did get lucky at launch at the Target and Toys R Us I checked. I even grabbed... *gasp* 4 nunchucks!

Still, I'm sorta shocked that so many people are buying Wii Sports. Maybe I'm too much of a stuck-up hardcore gamer to appreciate it?

Post by: mantidor on September 04, 2007, 04:57:39 PM: Oh I didn't know about wiiplay, with the prices I got here, it might not be a bad idea to get the game, nunchuck+remote costs almost $100, and is the same with games I should've just got the modded console really... I haven't seen this game though, but I do want another controller, and I was already planning on getting one, so for me this would be like some extra free mini-games that come with the controller rather than the opposite.

With all the firmware updates wouldn't there be an extreme possibility of the system not working in the near future? Or at least the modded portion of it.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: mantidor on September 04, 2007, 06:13:29 PM: oh indeed, thats the main reason for my purchase. If pirates don't manage to do it for a certain game for whatever reason then I couldn't play them, and chances are the games I do want will have this, like Metroid to begin with. Also theres no chance at online play, not in an easy way anyway.

Well, eventually everything will get copied passing over any obstacles Nintendo puts to avoid it, thats for sure. But at least I have a 1 year guarantee and a console that will probably outlast modded ones. But of course its just so.damn.expensive.

But yeah... sales is the topic here! I bought Super Paper Mario and it rocks, remote implementation couldn't feel more tacked-on though :P I crave for Metroid, but it looks I have to wait until friday, which sucks. I really hope the game to do well in sales.

Wii Play was the only way to get that many controllers at launch because unbundled controllers where sold out then. Wii Play was still available in huge stacks everywhere.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Adrock on September 04, 2007, 10:33:17 PM: Because it friggin' sucks. Wii Play was about as fun as repeatedly getting punched in the groin.

I guess it was worth getting for the 3rd Wii remote that rarely ever gets used. I didn't even buy a nunchuck for it. The extra Wii remote will probably get used less than the Wii Balance Board which, despite its immense potential, will likely only be used with Wii Fit and a handful of (mostly bad) games. I have Wii Fit reserved, but I have this tugging feeling that the Balance Board will crash and burn like other cool but gimmicky Nintendo ideas (i.e. GCN-GBA connectivity).
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on September 05, 2007, 02:09:18 AM: Thats a little harshed Adrock. Personally thought that Wii Play was good but it could have been better if they would have had random generated tracks for the cow racing and different places to fish. Little things like that.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Spak-Spang on September 05, 2007, 08:56:57 AM: Habitally going to the VGchartz website to check numbers...I realized something.

The Wii is the only system this generation that is going to have pretty even numbers around the world.

Right now Xbox 360 is in second place...and will continue to grow this holiday season, but most of its numbers are from US gamers. In fact more than half of its numbers are from US gamers. And the rest are much lower.

The PS3 isn't selling anywhere right now...but when sales pick up it is going to be strongest in Japan, because US gamers have mostly chosen the 360.

Now the Wii is more evenly dispersed numbers around the entire world, and those numbers continue to grow, but also remain evenly placed.

To me this signals that the Wii will be the best system for world wide release games. Small American companies will know they have a good American audience for core sales that can carry over across the seas, and the same for smaller Japanese publishers/developers.

If this trend continues I predict the Wii should have the most diverse lineup of games available to play than either the Xbox 360 and PS3. As you can already tell the demographics Xbox 360 and PS3 are appealing to is already American or Japanese gamers...but the Wii has potential to be a great middle ground.

Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on September 05, 2007, 01:13:11 PM: I predict Wii will not have a diverse line-up of games. Furthermore, the 3rd parties that have chosen to focus on the HD front will simply go out of business as a result of not helping diversify Wii's line-up.

Mini-crashes a-plenty, this will be wonderful news. Then the next console round will have only shadows of the big 3rd parties in force, causing reforms in old parties and seeing new 3rd parties arise, with Nintendo as the surviving shepard.

Post by: Kairon on September 05, 2007, 01:20:01 PM: The irony of Nintendo averting a hypothetical industry crash is that we'll never know if one would have really have happened, though we can certainly envision a very scary future.

Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't the industry already running into the ground with many companies going out of business? Not to mention the business thought process that the video games business life cycle was done and pretty much the fad was over, leading many retailers to not even want to carry the stuff?

Post by: Ian Sane on September 06, 2007, 12:20:13 PM: "Personally thought that Wii Play was good but it could have been better if they would have had random generated tracks for the cow racing and different places to fish. Little things like that."

It sounds like you want more options that a gamer typical expects in games. That's one thing I don't like about Wii Sports. It's fun but it lacks so much routine stuff that SHOULD have been there. Like I can only play three innings in baseball. Why can't I play a full nine and choose to force extra innings in a tie? I can just hear Nintendo giving some explanation about how they can't make the game better because non-gamers will get confused. It's like on the Simpsons when Homer wants a big car from his brother and the suits say they don't have any "because Americans don't want big cars." "Non-gamers don't want to play a full game of baseball." I don't know why a game targetting non-gamers can't offer optional complexity for those that want it. The "pick up and play" factor is where the attraction is, not dumbed down product that only a few years ago would have been rightly sh!t on for being unfinished. That's why there is a classification between non-games and "gamer games". The intentional restrictions seperate the audiences.

Regarding any crash I think Nintendo has, for now, prevented it in Japan but I think overall they've just delayed things or prevented one crash but have started the path to another. The original crash occured because of a glut of sh!t product. Nintendo didn't address that. In fact that Wii is FULL of sh!tty product. Meanwhile Sony is going down which I personally enjoy but might have a negative effect regarding customer dissatisfaction with the PSP and PS3. There's a whole bunch of really crappy content Nintendo has no control over like cellphone games that are getting more popular and are filling the market with crap. To me, right now, gaming has never been treated less like a serious artform. It's so corporate driven right now and I think that will cause people to lose interest in games, and thus cause a crash, more than anything. Sega's just a name, Nintendo compromises their product for a mass audience, Sony wants to use gaming to get us to buy other stuff. Microsoft seems the most sincere and they're the ones who historically can't be trusted and have probably been a wolf in sheep's clothing this whole time.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: that Baby guy on September 06, 2007, 12:36:13 PM: Well, I agree with a lot of what you have there, Ian, but I disagree on one key thing: I don't think Nintendo is the one pushing the susbstandard product. All of their non-games are full games, with the exception of Wii-Play (but that had the Wii-Mote pack-in). Sure, there weren't too many options in each individual sport in Wii-Sports, but it was meant to be a general, quick match game. For people who planned to spend more time with the title, there were several training modes, pro status, and getting your score all the way off the charts. It's a full game, even if it isn't as customizable as we want. But there's a trick. Nintendo can't force other developers to create full, robust, non-game (or even game) experiences. Sure, Nintendo's games are great, but Nintendo can't support the platform themselves, and most other developers aren't exactly pulling much weight on the console yet, despite what they've said earlier this year.

So what do I think? I think that if developers continue to make cash-ins to whatever crowd they believe own the console, things will proceed exactly how you say. If developers attempt to make complete games, then things will be great for gaming. It's just that they're mostly pretty bad at doing this, regardless of platform, and they're getting worse!

Yeah MS is the most sincere. They made it blatantly obvious the only reason they are here is so they can get a hold on another market which they hope will be a gateway to their "digital hub" plan.

And no they can't be trusted.

That's not entirely true. The original crash occurred due to other reasons as well. It was the fact that the market was flooded with both consoles AND software that was crap from 3rd parties AND 1st parties (Nintendo's first party titles are still excellent for the most part) not to mention Atari's horrible market leadership which lead to the original VG crash.

Usually the top systems are the ones with good games but LOTS of bad games. As many good (for example) NES games there were there are plenty more bad titles.

It's in my opinion that Nintendo has yet to truly compromise their products to reach the mass market. Nintendo is doing what it always does, makes fun games.

And no they can't be trusted.

MS will cause the next game crash, if anyone does. Sony's in too weak a position to be relevant right now. I'll get to Nintendo in a second. Microsoft doesn't give a flying poo about consumers: look at what they did to the Zune. Its 'best' (read: most-hyped) feature was a Wi-Fi connection allowing you to send a crappy DRM-crippled song to another person. You could listen to it three times in three days, and the file would then die, without exception- even if it were a song that you composed yourself. Vista has built-in locks, scheduled to be activated in a few years, that won't let certain HD content be played on any device that doesn't fully implement copy protection. What about Windows Media Player? I recently dug up some old backup CDs that had some WMV files I ripped from one of my music CDs a long time ago. When I tried to play them in Windows Media Player, the freaking program went online and made me validate a license for the file that would only allow it to be played on two computers or something. I've never had to do that before on an XP machine- this feature is apparently exclusive to Vista.

What does that have to do with games? Look at what they're doing on Live. They released a map pack for Gears of War with four maps...that cost US$10 worth of Microsoft Points. Ultimately, that's bullcrap. FPS and RTS games have had free maps for years...it wasn't until the XBox came out that publishers started retailing map packs with any regularity. This isn't just confined to XBox shooters, though. More and more games (especially those done by EA and the other big studios) are making subsidiary content that costs money to download. This stuff used to be free. I remember a long time ago Blizzard used to release really nice Starcraft and Warcraft 3 maps on their website every week or month or so, and a lot of other companies did the same. What happens if the XBox's market share grows large enough so that publishers feel like they can shake their customers around? Are we going to have to pay extra in the future for multiplayer? High definition? The ability to customize controller layouts? Being able to play the game for more than 10 minutes before the screen blanks out and is covered with ads?

Microsoft cares more about sucking up to its corporate partners than creating usable technology for consumers. It's been like that for a long time, and their XBox division is not going to change that pattern. It's entrenched within their corporate culture.

Sh!tty product and very few really good games. PS2 had all sorts of sh!tty games, and we didn't see the industry crash- like with every console, there were also a few very good titles. We didn't have that problem with the GCN, because the install base was too low to justify developing lots of crappy games for the system. I agree that the Wii's line-up right now is quite underwhelming, but if SSBB, Galaxy, and the other games Nintendo is developing right now turn out to be half as good as we expect, coupled with increasing third-party resources invested in the console, we'll have very little to worry about. MP3 is already an encouraging sign.

The whole thing with the HD DRM thing is not totally Microsoft thing. This you can blame it on the Movie industry they are the ones the pushed this crap on consumers. The same locks you are going to find them on PS3, Blu-ray and HD-DVD players.

On the whole thing to validate your music you only have to blame yourself for ripping your music with copy protection; this feature that can be enable or disable in WMP so this is not a Vista. This thing been here since WMP 8 to my knowledge.

I have done and later did the exact same thing to the exact same file on an XP machine, and had absolutely no issues with it. So I had no issues with licensing either before or after I tried opening it in Vista.

Post by: KDR_11k on September 07, 2007, 02:48:36 AM: Going by the number of injuries Baseball has already caused for me I wouldn't be surprised if the 3 inning limit was simply out of health concerns since almost noone does any warmup before playing. Baseball is definitely the most straining game out of Wii Sports. Possibly Tennis is also limited to 5 games for health reasons. Or maybe they didn't want to make Wii Sports a complete game for each sport to keep opportunities open for third parties that want to make full games for those sports? Would Pangya have sold as much if Wii Sports had a large number of holes for Golf? The point of Wii Sports is to provide pretty much a demo of the Wii's features and possibilities, not to be a big game by itself.

They didn't have enough time to create anything good from scratch yet, all they could do so far was get some ports or crappy games done, the good games take time. Of course some of them just suck so bad they couldn't make a good game no matter how much they try...

Yea, it's all over. The Nintendo bubble has finally burst. The holiday numbers will be the last whimpering, before the complete collapse of the Nintendo fad.

It's screwing people over to potentially restrict all HD video playback for the sake of allowing commercial media playback. It's screwing consumers by restricting their fair use rights. And regardless, my other points stand.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on September 08, 2007, 05:39:53 AM: here is some insight from JoshuaJSlone over at NeoGAF

Quote
Wii Comparisons: At week 40, Wii is where GCN was at 170.2 weeks (December 13, 2004), where GBA was at 35.5 weeks (November 21, 2001), where DS was at 48.6 weeks (November 3, 2005), where PS2 was at 53.4 weeks (March 6, 2001), and where PSP was at 78.1 weeks (June 4, 2006).

PS3 Comparisons: At 43 weeks, PS3 is where PS2 was at 4.9 weeks (April 1, 2000), where PSP was at 16.4 weeks (March 29, 2005), where GCN was at 18.8 weeks (January 18, 2002), and where Wii was at 6.1 weeks (January 7, 2007).

DS vs PSP: Weekly shares of 81.0 / 19.0, bringing total shares to 76.5 / 23.5. If DS stopped selling and PSP continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 598.9 weeks (February 24, 2019); another new record for that stat.

PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares of 31.5 / 68.5; PS3's best week relative to Wii since the week of March 5. Total shares now 24.2 / 75.8; PS3's recent good weeks gaining it a bit, so things have moved back to approximately where they were the week of July 9. If Wii stopped selling and PS3 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 132.3 weeks (March 17, 2010).

PSP vs Wii: At this week's rates, Wii catches up to PSP in 139.3 weeks (May 4, 2010).

PS2 vs DS: At this week's rates, DS catches up to PS2 in 18.8 weeks (January 11, 2008) at ~20.97 million apiece.

Not just a low week for Wii. This is DS's lowest since the week of March 26, and PSP's lowest since the week of November 13 last year.

It's also funny to note that week 40 was PS2's lowest week ever (so far): 3,306 according to Famitsu.

If Wii is this low for the next quarter or so, it will narrowly miss passing up GCN's LTD within one year.

MS passes 140K YTD at week 35. Last year it took until week 49.

Some very interesting stuff

The reason I bolded the Wii comparison is because we all know how well the DS ended up selling, so if the Wii is ahead of the DS right now and we are just coming into the holiday season, it could be very interesting to watch the comparison from here on out.

And I bolded the PS3 comparison because wee all know how bad the GC did in Japan and the PS3 is nowhere near the install base of the GC yet, so that really isn't looking good for Sony or PS3 supporting 3rd parties.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: UERD on September 08, 2007, 06:13:06 AM: Didn't DS sales start off a little slow? It's going to be really hard to maintain that sort of momentum in the long run, although the upcoming holiday season should surely help.

Also, it seems like big-budget PS3 games will cost much more to produce than the corresponding GCN games. It will be interesting to see how much of a profit publishers can make selling games to an install base comparable to that of the GameCube.

If so then these are just based on average rates which, ironically enough, makes a fairer comparison. If they are actually the numbers from that time then they are the exact numbers which makes them interesting but not as handy as a predictor.

It may sell a million the first week alone, depending on how many Nintendo ships.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on September 13, 2007, 10:20:45 AM: Well I'd imagine Nintendo already has a few million Wii's in stock ready to ship for the holidays. If they're willing to release Smash Bros and Mario Galaxy within a month of each other that means they must have enough Wii's ready because they know that those two games alone are going to drive demand up for the system bigtime.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: IceCold on September 13, 2007, 01:49:26 PM: I'm worried that with Galaxy and Brawl, even if Nintendo has millions of consoles, they won't be enough, which wastes the system-selling potential of each game. It's great that we're getting them so soon, but I wouldn't have minded if Smash Bros was delayed to next spring..

Post by: Chozo Ghost on September 14, 2007, 11:54:37 AM: If you really love a game you would be willing for it to be delayed so it can be refined and improved. That's what makes Nintendo games generally better than those of other companies.

Would you really truly want them to start rushing stuff out the door?

There is a stark difference between a game being delayed without a definitive release date and a game being delayed . . . given a solid release date . . . then delayed again.

That report was discussed, and derailed, here:

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/messageview.cfm?catid=7&threadid=22219

Again, going from data out there, it seems too low on both accounts. For the 360's sake, I really hope they are above 10 million by now too, considering they shipped that many at the end of last year.

That's not bad considering many universities opened up classes that day or had classes already going on. I've never bought a game the same day as class started or at least a week afterwards.

I'm just going to go ahead and guess that September's #'s will be much higher.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Michael8983 on September 18, 2007, 04:26:42 AM: No one should expect Metroid Prime 3 to be a chart-topper and sell millions off the bat.
Metroid titles have always appealed more to the hardcore niche market than the kind of broad audience most other Nintendo games with historiically much stronger sales (Mario, Pokemon, etc..) have appealed to.
But I do think it will easily sell better than Echos, and eventually better than the original Prime. Word of mouth should give it legs through the holiday season.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Spak-Spang on September 23, 2007, 06:02:47 AM: Eventually the PSP will have to start defeating the DS pretty regularly, because everyone that wants a DS will have one. I mean look at how many DS systems have sold compared to the life of the PS2...it has almost caught up completely...and probably will.

I have noticed that it is much easier in my area to find the Wii now. I found 10 last week at Best Buy in the middle of the week after the big Sunday promotion...and I found about 10 at Costco in a bundle.

So right now there is going to be a pause in sales that I would take advantage of if you are looking to purchase a Wii, because Mario Galaxy into Brawl they will be quite difficult to find again.

Post by: NWR_pap64 on September 23, 2007, 03:39:28 PM: I am worried that the Wii's numbers are suddenly dropping in Japan, but I'm not that worried that the PSP is doing well this week. Crisis Core IS perhaps one of the PSP's biggest titles, and its also based on FFVII and fans are gaye for it.

The real test lies in the coming weeks when the fanbase has already picked up the game and all that's left is the rest of the gaming crowd.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on September 24, 2007, 06:23:55 AM: The Wii sales are quite low, but they're still twice any other home console. My understanding is that this is normally a slow period in Japan.

I'm not. It's kinda amazing they've been in 2nd place all this time with nothing except Wii Play and Wii Sports.

As soon as Nintendo unleashes the big guns of Mario and Smash Bros. you can be sure it will go straight to the top.

And the PSP's success this week is also something to not be concerned about. It took what was arguably the best PSP game yet released, plus a hardware revision to just barely rise above the DS. Once that hype dies down, the PSP will go back to its usual position of 3rd or 4th place.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on September 27, 2007, 08:19:30 AM: To put current Wii sales in Japan into perspective a bit, if you look at PS2 sales back in early September 2003, they were selling around 32,000 units per week, and that was with a handful of popular new releases (two Gundam games and an RPG, can't remember the name). Nintendo has been selling around 20-30 thousand, and has had no major releases since, what, Mario Party 8? Not to mention it continues to outsell every other home console by at least 90%.

In other words, the sales aren't what they used to be, but they aren't bad for this time of year, either. I think it's safe to say supply has caught up with demand in Japan, but some new games and the holiday season will change that.

Post by: ShyGuy on September 27, 2007, 07:27:08 PM: PSP has destroyed DS and Wii combined. It's all over folks, Japan has fallen.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: 31 Flavas on September 27, 2007, 11:38:06 PM: What did I say... I called it back on page 99! This is the end. Nintendo files for Japan's equivalent of a US Chapter 7 Bankruptcy (total liquidation) at the end of fiscal '07.

They got 50 million people to buy in on the gimmick. Which is quite an accomplishment. But the blinders are gone. And this weeks numbers only prove how much the better the PSP actually is.

Good riddance.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on September 29, 2007, 02:37:53 PM: Everyone in Japan who cares about handheld video games has probably already got a DS. Now there is nothing left to buy except that thing Sony was offering...

Nintendo should probably come out with some new colors, or better yet, a new DS revision.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Michael8983 on September 30, 2007, 12:14:53 AM: The PSP's sales boost is a combination of it finally having a must-have game for the Japanese audience combined with the fact that barely anyone has one compared to nearly everyone owning a DS.
But as soon as the FF hype dies down, things will be back to normal.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on September 30, 2007, 06:59:15 AM: Actually its a combination of CCFFVII being released last week and the PSP Slim being released this week.
All the PSP Phat owners are upgrading to the Slim for the TV Out option that was supposed to be in the Original release of the PSP back in 2005.
Now all those UMD's aren't going to be so useless since you can watch them on the go and plug it into a bigger screen when you get the chance, same goes for some of their favorite portable games too.

Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Spak-Spang on October 04, 2007, 09:07:12 AM: Big deal. As huge of a game as Halo 3 is it should be number 1 when it is released no matter what market. It is the weeks that follow which make it important.

I have a feeling Halo 3 will drop like a rock in sales after this week...in all regions.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: nickmitch on October 04, 2007, 09:13:47 AM: I think Halo 3 will have a little more consistency, but I do think it'll drop. MS shipped quite a few units IIRC, so a significant portion of its targeted audience should have the title, but it should still be high in the charts for a few weeks, at least in the US.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 04, 2007, 03:46:44 PM: For any game on the 360 to sell 59,000 copies in Japan, it actually is a pretty big deal - especially if it debuts at #1. Also next week it will either A. be in the top 3, or B. be completely off the list. I bet it's in the top 3 in the US for at least a month or so.

Quote
Nintendo’s recent hardware dominance has seen its share price reach record highs, and it seems that Aussies haven't been immune to the House of Mario's resurgence. New figures from industry tracker GfK Australia show that Nintendo had the highest selling portable games device (the DS) and the highest-selling next-gen console (the Wii) down under in the last three months, easily eclipsing Sony and Microsoft.

Nintendo DS
2007 Q3 sales: 139,483
Total install base: 730,076

PlayStation 2
2007 Q3 sales: 66,228
Total install base: 2,118,646

Nintendo Wii
2007 Q3 sales: 61,027
Total install base: 167,899

Xbox 360
2007 Q3 sales: 40,467

Won't make much of a difference. Halo at this point in the 360s life will increase its niche base, but not by much. When the smoke lifts after the holiday, Nintendo will have a clear lead.

I agree with you on the basis that I think the Wii will be supply constrained this holiday, while Microsoft has the resources to get enough systems out to retailers to meet demand.

With like a 13 million unit lead, it would take the PSP a LONG time to outsell the DS at this rate. And long before that can happen I think both Nintendo and Sony will be releasing their successor systems.

In short, the DS has won this generation in Japan. I don't think that can be undone at this point. Also, I think the PSP sales will taper off eventually.

Realistically it is more than that, but that number is better in perspective with the idea of maintaining bandwidth, infrastructure, any work needed to get it on the virtual console, and then also taking out the money 3rd parties get from the sales.

Still not a bad amount of profit off of a download service.

Nintendo Faking Wii Shortage To Raise Holiday Demand
Posted by Victor Dangelo | Oct 10, 2007 07:41

Many reports have been coming out that Nintendo is going to have a shortage of Wii consoles this holiday season, but that may be just a ploy to spark extra demand for their console to beat the Xbox 360 and PS3.

Many analysts are stating that this is all just a game and that Nintendo has plenty of Wii consoles in stock. They have come out to the public and stated that they will have a shortage of consoles only to boost demand.

So if this is a ploy and nothing more than that Nintendo may be playing some dirty tricks to try and outsell the Xbox 360 as well as the PS3 and the upcoming 40GB version which will be priced to better compete with the PS3 and Wii.

The Xbox 360 is also threatening with a new Core console with the Xbox 360 Live Arcade priced at $279.99 to compete with the Wii as well.

If it comes out that Nintendo is lying about the Wii console shortage, Nintendo could be in for a public relations nightmare.
Best PS3 fansite ever!
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on October 11, 2007, 10:11:36 PM: How does one increase demand by witholding stock during the strongest sales period of the year? Having demand exceed supply is nice but last I checked you don't make money on demand that's not being satisfied and even risk losing that demand. That's some Sony logic right there.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chiller on October 12, 2007, 02:32:39 AM: In theory, if you say that supply is going to be tight, more people are likely to rush out and buy it "while they have the chance." You create a rush, as people will be afraid to miss out. However, there is no shortage, and all of the people rushing to get the console will be able to buy one, as will any stragglers, and anyone else who wants one. It is a psychological device to trigger the purchase impulse in people who are pensive, or trying to hold out for some reason. It is sort of like a kid with a toy - he may not play with it, but when he finds out someone else has it, and he doesn't, he suddenly wants it very badly.

Of course, I don't know if that is the case. Tactics like that are a gamble, as sometimes people are dissuaded, and figure that they might as well wait it out, rather than trying to deal with lines, and such. Given the success of the system thus far, and potentially key software releases in the near future, I am hesitant to say that Nintendo is, in fact, manufacturing shortages.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on October 12, 2007, 04:42:50 AM: I like how the author writes: "Many reports have been coming out", and "Many analysts are stating", but he does not even cite a single source to back this up, and I've personally never heard anything like that. Have any of you?

Anyways, you can't manufacture demand with artificial shortages. Either the demand is there, or it isn't. Nintendo WANTS to sell as much of their products as possible, and they couldn't do that if they restricted the supply. If these "dirty tricks" worked so well, then maybe Sony should create an artificial shortage with the PS3.

Unfortunately for Sony, even a limited piece of crap is still a piece of crap.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chiller on October 12, 2007, 07:15:43 AM: Wasn't Sony already accused of manufacturing shortages during the heyday of PS2 sales?

It isn't really about creating demand, either, but about provoking a reactionary response from fences-sitters. In essence they would be maximizing the demand that is already there by making people paranoid about missing out. "Act now: supplies are limited."

Like I said, though, I have doubts that Nintendo would engaging in this strategy, at least intentionally, as it is generally not well regarded by consumers. If people are making it out that way, it could be misinterpretation of strong sales predictions on the part of Nintendo, and a less optimistic outlook about their production capabilities.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BigJim on October 12, 2007, 09:38:41 AM: LOLz at that article. If by "analysts" and "reports" he means "SDF" and "bitching" then it's true.

Take if for what you will, but I've heard that Wii has been in shorter supply lately and shipment orders have been delayed, supposedly to accommodate a hardware update that thwarts modchips... which goes hand-in-hand with the summer software update. Supply should "normalize" by November (though will probably still be constrained).

If true that would explain the sales slowdown lately. It's a necessary evil, and the best time to do it. So I don't think they're artificially inflating a shortage.

It should be noted that DS sold an estimated 620,000 as well. I believe they're using VGChartz' estimates, but they seem to be getting more credible these days. Don't take it for certain, but don't be surprised if Halo 3 was a Wii-killer, at least for a month.

I wouldn't be suprised if all that were true. It's funny because many of us thought we wouldn't see a spike in 360 hardware because the people who would buy Halo 3 already owned the system. I think it'll be neck and neck in October too for Wii and 360. But I expect the Wii to dominate in November and December for sure.

If that's true it is kinda sad for Microsoft. Halo 3 is their biggest gun, and even with that they can only barely rise above the Wii for a single month?

Even if the 360 has won this month, I think its safe to say it won't win next month. The Wii is sorta in the doldrums right now, but when Galaxy comes out it will snap out of it.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Nemo on October 15, 2007, 05:30:15 PM: 520,000 to 496,000?

But the Wii is still selling out in America, right? So, if it only sold 496,000 it's because that's all that Nintendo allotted, right? It's possible Nintendo could have outsold MicroSoft if they had enough hardware, but in any case both companies are doing pretty well.

Where are you getting these #'s from? VGChartz?

well I'm glad you documented it so we can see if they change after NPD releases this thursday
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 16, 2007, 02:26:04 AM: Well if VGChartz is correct, the 360's been slowing GAINING each week, from 76k, to 89k, to 103k, to 123k, to 130k. It's true that they're probably only ahead because Nintendo doesn't have the surplus of systems that Microsoft does. Look like Japan's not getting any consoles next month.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 17, 2007, 05:23:02 AM: Well now I'm reading another estimate (guesstimate) that puts Wii at 485,000, Xbox 360 at 423,000, and PS3 at 164,000. I guess we'll just have to wait for official NPD numbers.
http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=29662
They also predict MP3 to have 267,000 for the month, which, in addition to August, would already put it past Metroid Prime 2's total sales, I believe, at about 490,000 thus far.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on October 17, 2007, 05:57:26 AM: I personally believe that the XBox 360 WILL slightly outsell the Wii in NA this NPD period. VG Chartz has been tracking the XBox 360 over the Wii these past 3 weeks, and I think it'll turn out that the XBox 360 was able to move enough stock to rise above the constantly sold-out Wii, whose sales will remain high, as normal.

It'll be real interesting to see PSP sales though, and I hope that Metroid Prime 3 will continue to have decent sales all through the holiday season... i.e., legs.

I'm getting the numbers from Brandogg's post. Probably not the most reliable source, but I still think my question is good. If the 360 outsells Wii by a little bit, we can only wonder how things would have panned out if there were enough Wiis on store shelves to fulfill demand.

Not yet, Metroid Prime 2 sold 1.27 million copies worldwide.

North America - 830,000
Europe - 370,000
Japan - 70,000

Prime 3 is selling better it's first two months then Prime 2 did so that's a good sign, but it still has a little ways to go before surpassing Prime 2. If it can continue to average around 200,000 for October, November and December in North America or have a great launch in Europe then it will surpass Prime 2 by the end of the year.

Huh. Will you look at that. After the Wii and DS absolutely dominating the Canadian charts, the 360 gets a small victory in September. This is the best month that the 360 will ever have over here though - the stars aligned perfectly for it with Halo and NHL coming out in the same month. The NHL sales are crazy if you take into account the relatively small 360 userbase - though I've played the game, and it's amazing.

Why can't you put NHL on Wii EA?

who knows how the other consoles will do?

PS3's phenomenal line up will make them a strong contender for this holiday season.

You have Mario Galaxy versus...well, nothing!

Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kenology on October 18, 2007, 03:49:44 PM: Metroid Prime 3 will benefit from the holiday season boost. I think it'll go on to sell a million units (probably by Q2 2008). If Nintendo actually put some marketing muscle behind it, it might've been at about 750k by now.

Post by: Arbok on October 18, 2007, 05:30:04 PM: Odd that a month that the 360 pulled ahead would be the month to pretty much seal that the Wii has this generation in America, but pretty much Halo 3 was their biggest gun, and while the leap is very impressive... the Wii did very admirable in its wake and Nintendo's big guns (not including Wii Sports) are still on the horizon.

In other news, PS3 has no hope...

Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 18, 2007, 05:51:27 PM: This has to be one of the final nails in the coffin for Sony - PS3 being outsold by it's predecessor by nearly 100k - and this is a 5 week month! This is a great boost for Microsoft - and now it's pretty clear that Nintendo has at least been diverting some Japanese Wiis to NA, probably to try and combat Halo 3, I guess they just didn't realize how many 360s were already on store shelves.

Post by: son of lucas on October 18, 2007, 07:14:58 PM: Yeah, Sony's gone. Hard to see how they even make a respectable showing at this point.

The Wii's numbers are fantastic. Almost equaling the 360 during its release of the biggest game of the generation.

The smallish sales for MP:3 are very troubling. What games do people buy with a Wii anyway? It looks like almost everyone who bought the console last month didn't bother to pick up its best game with it.

Post by: IceCold on October 18, 2007, 07:19:39 PM: Is that the best the 360 could sell? It's only ~250,000 more than last month, which confirms what we've all been saying - Halo 3 isn't really pushing systems, as most people who want it have a 360 already. It sold 3.3 million copies yet it only moved a few hundred thousand systems at best. Now we have no reason to believe that it will ever outsell the Wii again in Canada and the US.

Hasn't MP3 sold pretty well though? I would like to see how it compared to something like Bioshock. ANYWAY, wouldn't it be hilarious if Mario Galaxy outsold Halo 3?

Worldwide, not at all. Sunshine sold about 6 million on the Cube of all consoles, while Halo 2 sold around 8 million. That was when there was all that irrational bashing on Sunshine, and when Nintendo's mindshare was at an alltime low.

Considering the phenomenal success of New Super Mario Bros and the incredible popularity of the Wii (plus the above average software tie-in ratio), it's just about the perfect time for Galaxy to make a killing in sales. The only thing stopping it would be a shortage of hardware.

Hell, it already has like 500,000 preorders in Japan last I checked. That's more than even NSMB and Animal Crossing DS got.

Not to mention when it comes to sales, longevity is key - Halo 2 and 3 exploded out of the gates, but 2 hit a brick wall shortly after. I expect 3 to sell quite a bit more, but it won't really have legs.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on October 18, 2007, 07:39:24 PM: Those are retailker pre-orders IceCold, 700,000 at first.

But yeah, I'm just hoping and praying that MP3 has legs and gets through to somewhere over 1 million sold in the US alone... it almost has no chance of catching up to Metroid Prime 1 at this point, which I guess is understandable (since now everyone knows that Metroid Prime games aren't for everyone...) but still disappointing.

Hmm.. that makes sense. I was kind of surprised when I heard that figure, since Japan usually likes their 2D Mario games more than the 3D ones.

I don't know what Sony was thinking with that move. You would think that they would look at last generation and see how much backward compatibility helped them, then look at how strong the PS2 is staying, and then look at the developement costs to go strictly PS3 games and do the math. It make more sense for Nintendo to come out and release a Wii for $200 that axes backward compatibility for to be a little smaller or just a different color. Even $230 because, no one makes Cube games anymore and you have to jump through hoops to use it, have a Gamecube controller and Memory Card, compared to the Non-Gimped PS3 where you can use its harddrive as your memory card and the Sixaxis as your PS2 controller. Just sort of silly in the end.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: GoldenPhoenix on October 19, 2007, 07:27:12 AM: You can't tell that the backwards compatibility would have have been that much to implement, even if it was emulation. People are forgetting the fact that even with all the gimped features it still is TOO EXPENSIVE for the average consumer.

Post by: Spak-Spang on October 19, 2007, 11:22:31 AM: Wow, the Wii continues to crush with sales. And Nintendo has one last month of no games until the flood gates open.

I mean Mid November I have a list of 6 games I want to buy. INSANE. Once the gate opens the Wii is going to be hard to find again.

I only hope and pray that after Microsoft opened its big mouth about Halo 3 sales, that Galaxy can dwarf its sales numbers. Maybe not in money made, since Halo 3 had horrible pricing with the the special and legendary editions, but with numbers sold. That would make my day.

That's a lot of serious jack. Wish I could read the damn PDF report.

So far they're more than halfway past the GameCube userbase in 10 months. Judging from the projected numbers (I think), they're expecting to ship another 10m by the end of March, which means they'll pass GameCube's userbase in less than 16 months if they sell all their shipments.

Useless facts: At this point in the GameCube's life (Oct 2002), Nintendo was already bundling Mario Sunshine and a Memory Card 59. And they were expecting to sell their 10 millionth Cube by the following March.

10 million vs. 24 million at 16 months.

Post by: Kairon on October 27, 2007, 03:51:51 PM: Nintendo is now manufacturing the Wii at PS2 rates. Observe:

Quote
"We're still focusing on how to meet booming demand," Iwata said Friday. "We're absolutely not considering a price cut." He said Nintendo was ramping out 1.8 million Wii consoles per month but that a supply crunch was inevitable during the Christmas sales.

While they definitely didn't start the year at 1.8 million a month, if they manufacture at this level for an entire continuous 12 months, they would see 21.6 million Wiis in a year, which is about the sort of number that the PS2 shipped in many of its own years.

Really? It's been my understanding that the return from summer break isn't as important there as in the U.S.. More like an extra long seasonal holiday.

It isn't even the beginning of a new school year.

Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on October 28, 2007, 06:56:27 PM: Old VGChartz sales estimates seem to bear the theory out. For example, their estimates for the Japanese hardware sales of the week ending August 4, 2002 puts the PS2 at about 81k sales. Then it goes on a decline through September, going as low as 33k in the week ending November 17. By the week ending December 8, 2002, it's rebounded back to 84k.

Post by: Arbok on November 02, 2007, 08:21:29 PM: Well, it seems Salesbot only posted this in the DS thread, but it should probably spur more conversation here:

"Super Mario Galaxy ~ 130k (First Day Sales)

http://ameblo.jp/sinobi/ "

Am I the only one who is pretty disappointed by that? I was hoping that Galaxy would light the charts a blaze after the performance of New Super Mario Bros...

To be fair, it's not bad at all, but it's not what I was hoping for, which was a rebound in the Wii system sales in Japan which I don't see happening anymore this year.

Post by: IceCold on November 02, 2007, 08:49:58 PM: Those were retailer pre-orders. And yeah, the numbers are a bit disappointing, but it is 3D Mario after all - the Japanese have always liked the 2D versions better. Even Mario 64 didn't do too well over there.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on November 02, 2007, 08:56:32 PM: Those numbers are to be expected I guess. Sunshine didn't break a million in Japan, so I'm hoping that Galaxy has a shot at it.

I hope so... the fact that it had less sales on the first day compared to Hot Shots Golf 5 on the PS3 is very disheartening to me.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on November 03, 2007, 05:23:16 AM: My guess is that mostly only the casuals have their hands on Wiis and alot of the Nintendo HARDCORE have been waiting for SMG to release before picking up a Wii. Problem is that their is only so many Wiis to be found in the stores which prevented alot of future SMG owners from buying the game.

Besides, I hear the advertising wasn't all that great as it seemed Nintendo thought that the name alone would sell the game. I guess not...(on the first day atleast.)

But it isn't like the Wii has been tearing up the charts in Japan. Last week they only sold 35,000 which is better than the other consoles, but far less than the handhelds and much less than the PS2 was in its heyday. So it really shouldn't be hard to get a hold of.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on November 03, 2007, 05:58:05 AM: From what I've been hearing, Nintendo has been diverting systems from Japan over to the N.A. and EURO shores cause they were anticipating a slow-down period (and the stack of left-over Wiis on shelves helped make that decision), so its not like they have been flooding the channel with Wiis. Its more like they are either diverting some stock or they have been stock-piling and the flood gates are about to open.

I wouldn't be surprised if Wii sales were around 60-80k for this upcoming week.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_pap64 on November 03, 2007, 07:58:13 AM: To be honest, I think the Wii is going to be a flop in Japan. It keeps dropping each and every day and many hit titles are dropping like flies in just the first weeks.

Its just so weird! The Wii survived Halo 3 mania and sold many consoles without a major title out yet in Japan people give a sh*t about it.

The way I see it if Wii Fit doesn't move consoles then forget it, the Wii is history in Japan.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: SixthAngel on November 03, 2007, 08:05:05 AM: To expect the same sales as NSMB is kind of ridiculous because of how many more DS's were sold at the time. I expect SMG to have a good constant sale rate, it seems to be a habit with a lot of Nintendo games recently.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on November 03, 2007, 09:01:38 AM: Yeah, Nintendo games have great legs in Japan. Everyone has to remember that the majority of NSMB sales came from the months after it's launch, where it averaged about 20,000 - 30,000 every week. Even though it easily sold over 1 million in it's first month, the other 3.5 million copies came from the next year's worth of sales.

Even the article says the 130,000 it's first day is better then Mario Party 8 first day sales. The last time I checked Mario Party 8 had sold over 800,000 copies in Japan. So if Galaxy is already off to a better start then Party was, I'd imagine it should be able to sell around the same amount if not more.

Oh it should also be stated that Super Paper Mario sold over 400,000 copies in Japan, and since the Mario RPG's are less popular then the main Platforming one, Galaxy will do a lot better then that. Hell even Twilight Princess was able to pass the 500,000 mark in Japan and we all know that Mario is more popular then Zelda over there so Galaxy will at the very least be over 600,000.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on November 03, 2007, 09:30:34 AM: Isn't it also true that this is a really slow time of year in Japan for gaming with school going on or something?
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on November 03, 2007, 09:40:37 AM: Don't forget that inorder for everyone to enjoy NSMB they probably already had their DS and therefore their own copy of the game too.
Not everyone is going to buy their own Wii and hook it up to their own TV and then buy a copy of SMG. There will most likely only be one Wii in the household and there fore only one copy of SMG vs every child and an adult having their own DS and their own copy of NSMB.

It's too late for the Wii to flop in Japan, it's already a success. Even if it sells just modestly from here on out, it'll continue to outpace the PS3 (the X360 isn't even worth mentioning there). However, what I see is the Japanese market becoming more and more irrelevant compared to the U.S. and European markets. Hence, many game companies (such as Square) have made no secret about catering specifically to and expanding those markets. The Japanese sales charts lately have been totally lackluster.

Actually it's more that the Japanese don't seem to care about home consoles anymore, it's all about handhelds now. Because the DS has been a beast in terms of hardware and software which shows that the Japanese still care about gaming, but they prefer it in handheld form rather then playing it on a TV.

It might have to do with how Japanese society always seems to be on the move, that they just don't have time sit down and play games for several hours, and so with the DS they're able to play videogames on the go for shorter periods of time.

Of course, 40,000 is still more than twice what the other two consoles are selling, and 250,000 copies is still three times what the second-place game, Ace Combat 6, got.

there is a shocking outcome in the Hardware #'s

Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on November 07, 2007, 05:26:37 AM: While Mario Galaxy will still sell much more than other traditional/hardcore games in the Japanese market, it's in real danger of not breaking a million at this pace, perhaps the final indicator of shifting Japanese gaming tastes, a market where FF:Crisis Core and The Legend of Zelda: TP have failed to break the million mark. The question is whether this is a permanent change or simply a function of transition/console uncertainty, because if it's the latter, an increased userbase can make up for it, if the former, then the Japanese market may stay shrunken for these types of games for the foreseeable future.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on November 07, 2007, 07:22:58 AM: According to VGChartz, the Wii version of GH2 came in second place (to 360), that's pretty big. XBox 360 has the advantage that it was the only "next-gen" version to be sold either with the guitar, or alone. Wii selling more than the PS2 version is pretty huge.

Nah. The IGN numbers show that the Wii was only able to pull ahead of the 360 in the US market by about 1.2 million over 9 months. With the increasing solidifying of the XBox 360's base and future price drops, even the Wii's explosive success and increased manufacturing capacity will be hard pressed to pull that far ahead, and certainly not over just another 3 or 5 months.

Post by: Kairon on November 08, 2007, 05:15:04 PM: I'm not laughing. I'm quaking in fear at the though of MS success.

I really think we're going to see a SNES versus Genesis sort of battle this gen between the Wii and XBox360, but with less cross-ports and more market segmentation. It's a good thing that Nintendo's Wii is selling strong in ALL markets, because the increasing console irrelevance of the Japanese Market could weaken any company that relies on it (in this case, Sony) and strength any company that traditionally isn't strong there *coughMicrosoftcough*.

Well, it could happen. The 360 is insanely popular everywhere else, and the PS3 is insanely unpopular everywhere else.

MS just needs to focus a LOT more resources into RPGs and non-games. I'm not saying they will do it, but they could do it. They certainly have the money to do it.

By the way, I expect that for this Holiday period, the XBox360 and Wii will have roughly equal sales in America. I don't see the XBox 360 re-closing the gap, nor do I see the Wii pulling ahead further, until January.

Post by: IceCold on November 12, 2007, 08:52:04 PM: Apparently Nintendo UK is pushing Mario insanely hard - I think Plugabugz said he's seen quite a few ads for it. And here..

Quote
With Super Mario Galaxy just one week away from hitting Europe, Nintendo UK has confirmed just how extensive the advertising campaign for the flagship Wii title is going to be.

"It is certainly the biggest marketing campaign for a Mario title that I’ve ever been involved with. And having played it at some length now – it is an absolutely awesome title, it had me giggling like a child again – which is an amazing achievement for a video game."
- Rob Lowe, Senior Wii Product Manager.

The game has already been backed by a series of teaser adverts that started on 5th November, with the main TV campaign due to kick in on 19th of this month. In addition to this, Nintendo has secured high profile support in the National Press, whilst the game's in-store presence will also be extremely strong

Post by: Kenology on November 14, 2007, 01:59:26 AM: Yeah, in Japan. It looks like it actually did happen, but I guess we'll have to wait 'til tomorrow when Sales Bot posts the numbers.

If so, it took 5 skus, 3 price cuts, and a new color to stimulate some interest, but I give it only 2 weeks max before leveling off.

Also, I am not happy with sales of Super Mario Galaxy in Japan.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on November 14, 2007, 02:04:04 AM: "Traditional" gaming is dying over there. Can WiiFit save home consoles?

Super Mario Galaxy could also turn out to be a long-time seller, but I'm skeptical about that.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kenology on November 14, 2007, 02:14:59 AM: True. I just think Wii Fit flyin' off shelves is gonna send the wrong message to developers. But I guess it is what it is.

I expect Mario Galaxy to have some sturdy legs too.

Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on November 14, 2007, 06:37:10 AM: Super Mario Galaxy might actually sell Sunshine numbers in Japan. *sigh* I guess that traditional gaming may really be dead over there. Lucky for Nintendo that the Wii and DS are capable of new types of gaming, but the market may have irrevocably shifted into a phase that resembles Western markets less and less.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: IceCold on November 14, 2007, 06:39:28 AM: Well, certain hardcore genres will always thrive there (RPGs, 2D platformers esp Mario, etc) but yeah, it really has been a radical shift.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on November 14, 2007, 10:38:53 AM: Well considering how low software sales for PS3 games are as well, it seems that Home Console gaming is dying in Japan. Like I said before, it'll all about the Handheld Consoles in Japan for some reason now. Because on the DS, tranditional gaming is not only surviving but booming.

Look at the numbers for all the traditional Nintendo games on the DS in Japan since the DS first came out.

Super Mario 64 DS - 1.06 million
Wario Ware Touched - 1.16 million
Mario Kart DS - 2.54 million
Tetris DS - 1.23 million
Pokemon Diamond - 2.95 million
Pokemon Pearl - 2.45 million
Kirby: Sqeak Squad - 1.02 million

And finally the King of the DS

New Super Mario Bros - 4.90 million

This clearly show that the Japanese still care for what a lot of you consider, traditional gaming. It's just they prefer it on handhelds then home console. Meaning if Mario Galaxy was a DS game it would have sold over 1 million it's first week easily, but for some reason on the Wii, it's only been able to do less then 400,000 in two weeks.

Those really tell you something. I'm Assuming those are the exact same game and the PS3 version sold almost 8.5 times more then the 360 version.

PS3 - 121,000

Well this is it people, it's finally happened.

NINTENDO IS THE WINNER OF THIS GEN

With Sony dead, the only competition was between Nintendo and Microsoft. But now that we see that Halo 3 (the biggest game for the 360) didn't do much and that the Wii's sales have INCREASED at the same time there's nothing Microsoft do.

And now that Mario Galaxy has been released the final piece has been placed. This battle station is now fully operational and ready to fire at the world.

For the sake of fairness, that price cut was only in the last week. November NPD's will really help us gauge how (not so) well the PS3 performed for a full month at $399.

It's ridiculous what Wii numbers are gonna look like for November with Mario Galaxy launching... good lord.

From what I've seen its more than just a fitness games. There are a lot of mini games involved and lots of variety.

Nintendo hopes that Wii Fit strikes lighting like Wii Sports and Wii Play did.

Maybe its just my negative nature but I doubt the game will boost sales. Its a 70 dollar game. When have you heard of an overpriced, peripheral bases game moving consoles? And no, Guitar Hero doesn't count :p .

Kind of like how a $90 game called Guitar Hero was held back and a $160 game like Rock Band.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: couchmonkey on November 22, 2007, 02:25:35 AM: I agree with the why-not Guitar Hero peeps here...if Guitar Hero sold, why not this? The question is what does your $70 peripheral game have to offer? If we look at something like Eye of Judgement...let's be honest, card games are a limited, nerdy passtime: Sony is selling to a segment within a segment with that.

Guitar Hero works because who wouldn't like to be able to play guitar? Almost any gamer can appreciate that, and a ton of "non-gamers" can too. Same thing with Karaoke games. Why doesn't it work for Bongos or Maracas? Here's a scientific chart to explain it:

Now does WiiFit have this mass appeal? I think so. I can't speak for Japan - maybe people are right that Japan doesn't care about fitness crazes, but unless you've lived there you probably don't know (I sure don't). What the Japanese seem to like is crazy gadgets (4 million DS TV Tuners preordered, Nintendo can't believe the demand) and WiiFit falls into that category without being too niche.

It may all come down to how well Nintendo advertises it.

Wii sales seem pretty steady to me. And already, the PS3 dropped... It seems as though next week the Wii will be back on top of the PS3 again.

I have no idea what Wii Fit is gonna do for Japanese Wii sales. We all thought we'd see a stratospheric boost when Galaxy came out and it didn't happen. So I'm gonna keep my expectations in line.

They may as well include Wii Sports with the system, because I don't think it adds that much to the production cost, does it? I mean, its essentially a DVD disc and a cardboard holder I know it cost money to make the game, but Nintendo has surely made up that cost by now, and then some!

So I think a $250 that included Wii Fit, Wii Sports (and possibly Wii Play) would be a far better way to go than cutting the price. And if it did include Wii Play it should also include the extra controller.

I recall the NES bundle was kinda similar to this. It had 2 controllers, 2 games, a zapper, and of course who could forget R.O.B.?

R.O.B. was the NES-era equivalent of the Wii Board, but lets hope that the Wii Board has better game compatibility than R.O.B. did, And the same with the Wii Zapper. I think the original NES zapper was only compatible with 3 games, or something...
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on November 23, 2007, 08:24:38 AM: The WiiFit board already has two compatible games.
WiiFit and some other 3rd party game that I can't remember the name of.

Besides I'm pretty sure (depending on WiiFit sales) the next Wario Ware will have WiiBoard support, and the next 1080 and Wave Race might have board support too.

Why not?

Let me explain...

The GH series is a massively popular one, yes. But it has never been considered a system seller because of its price tag.

Also, by the time the games are released the consoles already have an installed user base. In other words, people that bought GH3 already owned a PS2, 360, Wii and PS3.

In short, peripheral games can be big sellers but not necesarily system sellers.

DS is maybe 2 months away from outselling PS2, and Wii is about 3-4 weeks away from outselling Gamecube. Also, I kicked Salebot's ass again with the hardware. No one can copy and paste like me. No one.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on December 02, 2007, 04:38:36 AM: Too bad the PS3 is back to being absolutely CRUSHED in the US. I was at Best Buy about 5 minutes after they opened today - and a woman was buying the last of 51 Wiis that they had today. I then counted all the 360s - they had 5 IIRC, all Halo 3 edition. Then I counted the PS3s - 98! 98 f'ing PS3s just sitting there collecting dust. They're also completely sold out of Guitar Hero 3 for the Wii and the 360, but they have tons of the PS3 and PS2 version - even the PC version had less than the PS3.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on December 02, 2007, 05:17:14 AM: Sony should lease Nintendo some manufacturing plants since they obviously don't really need them right now.
Besides it would help them subsidize the loss from every PS3 sold and the cost of every PS3 made and still sitting on a shelf

I endorse this great idea.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: nitsu niflheim on December 02, 2007, 01:07:15 PM: I wonder when Sony will make the announcement that they are going to suspend production of the PS3 because supply far exceeds demand.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on December 02, 2007, 02:16:37 PM: My guess is that they actually have suspended production, as of several months ago. Stores have been sending back their unsold systems, which Sony places in a new box with Motorstorm or Spider-Man 3 or whatever they put in there, and ship it back to another store. It's not like one day every store completely sold all their old PS3 overstock and it was magically replaced by the pack-in systems.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Smash_Brother on December 03, 2007, 01:45:26 PM: Wii Fit has an extra accessory so it's kinda a wild card.

Game like that typically sell out but typically don't ship enough to meet demand.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on December 03, 2007, 04:54:38 PM: People were lined up to buy the game, some people were buying a Wii with the Wiifit game and some just bought two copies of WiiFit.
There were Casuals, hardcore and Non-gamers all lined up together to purchase WiiFit whether it was for themselves or as a gift.

I would guess tat WiiFit will be in the 300k range, but it could be higher depending on how much supply was actually put out.

Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on December 05, 2007, 10:29:25 AM: Well according to Famitsu, Wii Fit sold 254,000 copies in two days. Famitsu charts also showed that Mario Galaxy sold around 36,000 copies last week which is around the same as it did the week before with 37,000 copies, which is close what it did the week before that when it was over 40,000 copies. This shows that Mario Galaxy clearly has legs and should continue to keep selling through out the month and into next year as well.

03 (05) [NDS] More Brain Training From Dr Kawashima (Nintendo)

09 (09) [PS2] High School Musical: Sing It! (Disney Interactive Studios)
10 (13) [PS2] The Simpsons Game (Electronic Arts)

Solid showing from Wii despite being completely sold out

That's great news. "Mario and Sonic" is a rock solid game and it would be sad if it didn't sell simply because it ain't the orgasmic cross over people expected.

Wii just barely edged past PSP this week by 138 units.
and 2 weeks at this sales pace will finally put it past the GC LTD.

1. NDS - 124,627 | 116,694 | 6,278,504 | 20,284,183
5. PS2 - 13,703 | 14,875 | 696,206 | 20,851,065

DS still has a shot at dethroning the PS2 in 2007 if it can bump sales 20-25k more on an average of 4 more weeks.

Quote
6. 360 - 6,632 | 7,117 | 208,990 | 473,692

Also it looks like Xbox360 is finally gonna surpass the original next week
Xbox - 475,613 LTD (last time MC reported it)

Post by: BranDonk Kong on December 06, 2007, 05:42:43 PM: Eh, I just copied and pasted from NeoGAF. Guess I should proofread next time. I'm glad to see PS3 dropping (I'll admit it), but wish it went down further. At least Wii got a pretty big bump. Nintendo just about reversed the 30K beating by PS3 last month, in 1 week alone. I don't know what I'm trying to say anymore...it's late.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stogi on December 07, 2007, 02:23:44 AM: Does it really matter how well the PS3 is doing? It's already in a huge hole when compared to the Wii (Wii - 4 mil; PS3 - 1.5 mil). Hell, the PS3 should just count there blessings that the 360 isn't taking off.

I think it is a good sign that the percentage of 3rd party Nintendo system games has gone up from the week before. It's still interesting and strange that so many of the top 30 are by Nintendo itself, whereas on the other system no first party game is on the chart. I think this is the reason why 3rd parties are still somewhat reluctant to support Nintendo platforms.

Japan: 1. Wii Fit (Nintendo), 2. No More Heroes (Marvelous)

Estimates I've heard put it at 10k on the first day, which is amazing if you compare it to Killer7, which sold like, 20k total in Japan.

Well, I guess in that context it sounds good. Obviously, they're going to depend on larger sales in the west.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on December 09, 2007, 10:13:00 AM: For comparisons sake:
Quote
Flower, Sun, and Rain: 5.9K first week and disappeared.
Michigan: 15.2K first week and disappeared.
Killer 7 GCN: 4.5K first week and disappeared; didn't reach the 15.2K necessary to make the yearly Top 500.
Killer 7 PS2: 13.7 first week, 28.6K last we saw it in the 2005 yearly Top 500.
Contact: 6.1K first week and last seen at 25.4k in the 2006 MC Top 500.

But I have heard the game has a very positive buzz in Japan and its flaws(framerate) actually work to its favor(Style)

What surprised me is that Galaxy jumped back to the top ten after it was slowly sliding down. Most games don't do that so its impressive Galaxy went back to the top, even if its for a while.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: vudu on December 13, 2007, 07:11:38 AM: It slid down because eight new games were released in the same week. Galaxy's actual unit sales didn't decline, so once the new games dropped off the chart Galaxy moved back up.

PS3 is still being outsold by PS2 (and PSP, DS, Wii, and XBox 360), and Nintendo is still kicking everyone's ass, though Xbox 360 did very well, and PS3 did respectably well for about 2 weeks.

Also, GH3 on Wii outsold the 360 and PS3 version, though there was definitely a shortage of the XBox 360 version, but the Wii version is very hard to find as well.

Nope - Sunshine actually did really well in North America - it sold nearly 4 million copies (6 million total). Galaxy is still a ways from 2 million.

EDIT: According to IGN, more software numbers..

Mario and Sonic at the Olympics (#11) - 330k
Lego Star Wars - 180k
High School Musical - 180k
Zack & Wiki - 35k
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption - Almost 500k total

Zak & Wiki did 35k this month. The game was released in September and should most likely be over 100k sold by now, which is great for a niche, point-and-click adventure.

BTW, I just beat it last night. What a great game!

Whoops! Eheh... corrected...

BTW Son Of Lucas, I've been watching your growing notoriety on the VGChartz forums and your keerrraaazzzyyy predictions too! Wouldn't Nintendo need to be a whole lot more aggressive in their hardware manufacturing in order to meet your predictions though? I have the feeling that Nintendo has hit a real dead-end in terms of increasing production for the time being.

"friggin' ACC"? You mean, AAC right? If you've never heard of AAC, you'd best get used to it. It's the successor to MP3. Lots of companies are using it (Apple iTunes is the largest) because no licenses or payments are required to be able to stream or distribute content in AAC format.

Yeah, that's what I've been hearing. I wasn't too upset about it after I figured out I could open it with quicktime (as opposed to wmp, which I usually listen to MP3s on).

I would do that, but FLAC does eat up a lot of space.

I have been thinking I should probably have my absolute favorite albums be in FLAC format, though.

Anyways, back on topic... I don't think it would be a good format for Wii considering the large file size. But it would be great if Nintendo offered more options than just AAC (or MP3 with the old revision). Not everyone has their music collection in either of these formats...

I think you took that out of context in the latest Wiik in review, Matt and Mark say it is 35k for the month and 135k LD which I don't think is bad at all for that game. Should merit at least a sequel considering it probably payed for the budget.

I don't think it has. It is only now finally getting a good library of great games, so I think we'll see the Wii dominating the top 10 regularly from now on. There are probably going to be some weeks in the near future where all the top 10 are on Nintendo platforms. It almost happened this week, except for that one stupid PS3 game befouling the list. :P

Definitely MP8. If it is already at 948k then it only needs to sell 52k, which it can probably do in one more week.

Well, the thing with Galaxy is that a good percentage of all new Wii owners every week will be buying it, because it's THE game to own. So it'll have really long legs.

So for the time being it basically correlates with the number of Wiis sold. Which means the hardware sales will be pretty high this week.

EDIT: Oh yes, and also...

This, once again, proves that "non-games" are HELPING Nintendo's traditional games. Remember when Brain Age and Nintendogs sparked huge hardware sales, which set the plate for NSMB and other traditional games to sell really well?

Well, the same thing's happening here. WiiFit is boosting the demand for Wii, and Galaxy is benefiting.

Post by: Luigi Dude on December 20, 2007, 09:15:50 AM: Actually the week before Christmas is when games and hardware have their biggest sales in Japan. Which means Media Creates charts that come out next week will be even HIGHER then the ones you see now.

It should be interesting to see how Wii sales will be when Smash Bros comes out in Japan. It's obvious that Mario Galaxy is getting a lot of traditional gamers to finally buy a Wii over there, so with the combination of Smash Bros in a month, Wii sales should remain very strong.

Plus with Wii Fit continuing to bring in the non gamers, Japan will remain Nintendo Land for a long time.

Post by: Mario on December 20, 2007, 11:51:03 AM: Sigh. THERE IS NO CHRISTMAS IN JAPAN. I recall sales being higher the last week of December and the first week of January than this week traditionally.

Wii Love Golf was an ABSOLUTE DISASTER. It does say a LOT about the Wii userbase though. It still only consists of Nintards and non-gamers. It's very clear the REAL hardcore gamers who actually have half a brain are still stuck on the Sony side waiting for PS3 to be cheaper, then again if they really were smart they would HAVE A Wii. The game IS the new Mario Golf but BETTER, but Wii owners are too ignorant to know. On one side of the userbase you have the Nintendo fans who only buy Nintendo games, on the other side you have the new gamers who don't know what to buy and just buy what's advertised. That leaves NO room for third parties and it's no wonder they all want Wii to fail. If Mario was in Wii Love Golf it'd sell half a million. Come on Nintendo, release game training already.

NiGHTS did heaps better than I expected, at least it made the top thirty and almost sold 20,000.

I think Japan is overly saturated with arcade Golf sims. There's Wii Sports Golf, Super Swing Golf 1 and 2, the eventual Mario Golf Wii, the Hot Shots Golf series and now We Love Golf. The game doesn't even seem to try and differentiate itself from the other Golf series. Hell, even the concept of unlocking Capcom characters through secret costumes is very similar to Super Swing Golf's costume mode.

Did anyone see the latest charts? People ate up the new red PSP and its in second place while Wii is in third.

Actually there is Christmas in Japan. It's not a national holiday for them but it is celebrated by decorating, eating special meals and giving presents. New Years Day is the bigger holiday over there though and the one where people actually get the day off to celebrate to.

and Top 15 Publishers & Top 50 Wii games

According to information in that thread, the Wii is ahead of the PS2 in Japan, with 11 million+ software sold compared to 8 million for the PS2's same 52 week period, and a 2.8 attach rate compared to the PS2's 2.3. Also, the Wii has had 2 million sellers so far in Japan in those 52 weeks (and Mario Party 8 will join that soon) While the PS2's highest seller through the period was Onimusha at 756k. (BTW, Onimusha, according to the Famitsu information provided, topped out at 927,000, NOT breaking a million)

Here's the chart I'm looking at.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on December 24, 2007, 03:25:45 PM: But you also have to factor in that WiiPlay is counted as one of those million sellers, when in fact 98.95% of people were buying WiiPlay for the second controller and not the $10 bonus game. That also severely skews the attach rate ratio, but I'm not trying to argue on behalf of the PS2, just stating something that should be taken into account when doing a direct comparison.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on December 24, 2007, 06:38:22 PM: Well, if you remove Wii Play that's 1.8 million in sales, so the Wii is still ahead and still has a million seller in Wii Sports.

Post by: Luigi Dude on December 26, 2007, 07:54:59 AM: Here's Famitsu's Top 10 for December 17 - 23 while you all wait for Media Create numbers to be posted.

1. FF4 DS : about 309k
2. Mario Party DS : about 308k (total about 1.07m)
3. Wii Fit : about 210k (total about 737k)
4. Super Mario Galaxy : about 109k (total about 680k)
5. Wii Sports : about 109k (total about 2.37m)
6. DQ4 : about 108k (total about 963k)
7. Wii Play : about 105k (total about 307k)
8. Mario & Sonic at Beijing Olympics : about 100k (total about 307k)
9. Dora Base : about 96k
10. Naruto: Shippuuden N-Ultimate Accelerator 2 : about 94k

Hardware

DSL : about 319k
Wii : about 264k
PSP : about 162k
PS3 : about 51k
PS2 : about 24k
360 : about 8.1k

Well that's Famitsu. Media Create sales are usually similar so you all have an idea of how those charts will look.

And once again, Mario Galaxy has got legs, since every week it's just been growing and growing. And remember, Sunshine sold around 800,000 copies in Japan and so at this rate, Galaxy will outsell Sunshine by the end of the year. And with legs like it has now, it should be able to actually surpass the million mark by the end of January or early February.

Wii sales slacked off because of the drought, and Galaxy had almost no impact in that, but now we are finally seeing the Wii being elevated to DS levels.... and, for some reason, the DS is rising to levels previously unheard of...

That said, the PSP is doing good and the PS3 is doing *okay*, but they are just dwarfed by the Nintendo juggernauts.

Uh..... correct me if I'm wrong, but Wii Play, in japan, sells by itself. Doesn't it? It's only the US that gets the bundle. So as far as these media create numbers are concerned, people are buying Wii Play for Wii Play, not a second controller.

Oh, and check out Super Mario Kart DS, New Super Mario Bros, and Animal Crossing: Wild World. 16, 21, 25... after all this time. Oh my god.

I'm just glad to see that Brain training and Brain Training 2 didn't show up on the charts, I was thinking for sometime that they may never stop selling.

Holy crap, the DS has now outsold the PS2 lifetime. And here we were expecting that to happen in 2-3 more weeks. They did it before 2007 was done. It's now bigger than everything.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on December 28, 2007, 06:59:58 AM: Does this make the DS the most popular system of all time, or was there something in the past that was more popular?

Edit: It would be cool if someone could post some list of the best selling systems of all time and then we could see how things rank. Does anyone have this information?

Post by: BlkPaladin on December 28, 2007, 12:00:52 PM: If you lump together all the Gameboy iterations it still has the crown. I think I seen a number that put the GB series at 290+ million lifetime.

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.

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.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on January 05, 2008, 02:11:38 PM: 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.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on January 07, 2008, 10:53:55 PM: 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.

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.

I know Chozo said it, but I think to point it out visually has more impact.

That is just down right embarrassing for the PS3.
But I Believe that The Playstation Brand has come out on top beating the the DS' 2.47 mill with its own collective 2.96 mill.
So in spite of what all you Nintards think Playstation won again [/Sony fanboi spin]

It's only a matter of time now before Nintendo because the leader in every single market. They've already won Japan and Europe and at the rate the Wii is selling, I'd say they should surpass the 360 in North America by mid Summer.

PS3 is an absolute joke, at best. I like how they always say that it's on par with the 360's first year sales, not in the US it isn't, maybe it's sold half as many in the first year, again at best.

Well considering 360 has a 1 year head start on Wii and was relatively successful, it isn't that surprisingly Wii hasn't caught up in NA, then again I think worldwide sales are the best indicator.

Wow, Wii Play outsold Halo 3 for the year in Canada. That is quite a feat. I thought all of NA were Halo whores. Guess I was mistaken.

Of course, in the US, I wouldn't be suprised if Wii Play eventually takes the lead in lifetimes sales again on Halo 3 just on the fact that more Wiis are sold each month.

Say X of 30 or Z% of games ON THE CHART are MS/Sony/Nintendo third party games.

Quote
During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2007, "Nintendo DS", our handheld gaming system, continued to enjoy robust sales worldwide, selling a total of 24.5 million units (64.79 million units life-to-date). DS software had favorable performance in sales as well, led by new titles of "The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass" and "Mario Party DS" as well as "Pok?mon Diamond" and "Pok?mon Pearl" and "Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day" which were launched overseas during this period. In addition, a number of long-term selling titles such as "Nintendogs" and "New Super Mario Bros." recorded strong sales.

In our console business, "Wii" hardware reached total sales of 14.29 million units worldwide for the first three quarters of the year and exceeded 20 million units in life-to-date sales, which is slightly over one year. "Wii" software titles, including "Wii Fit", which seeks to integrate health and entertainment under the theme of health, and newly-launched titles "Super Mario Galaxy" and "Mario Party 8" enjoyed robust sales. "Wii Sports" and "Wii Play" continued their strong sales performance as well.

As a result, net sales were 1,316.4 billion yen (up 84.7% y/y), operating income was 394 billion yen (up 135.1% y/y), income before income taxes and extraordinary items was 430.8 billion yen (up 95.2% y/y), and net income was 258.9 billion yen (up 96.3% y/y), respectively.
258.9 billion yen = $2,432,922,775.52 USD or $2.4 billion USD after taxes from April-Dec '07.

When that happens it will be a historic moment in the history of Nintendo, because it will mark the very first time that a Nintendo console sold more than the Nintendo console before it, and would reverse Nintendo's diminishing marketshare.

I still bitterly remember predictions by video game analysts before the Wii was released that it would sell even less than the Gamecube over its lifetime, but they are obviously wrong and I seriously hope they've lost their jobs over it. Seriously, even though it hadn't been released, how could they not expect the Wii to do well with all the buzz about it since it was unveiled at E3?

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mario on January 31, 2008, 01:40:19 AM: Probably shortage. Or a sale on the second hand version.

The bigger shame in the Galaxy floppage saga is Mario & Sonic Wii falling down due to the DS version which replaces frantic exciting involving gameplay with button mashing / slashing.

Apparently News Channel is "0 yen" so that's probably just people who picked up the retail disc. But that begs the question, why get the news channel as a disc if you already need the internet to utilize it? Sounds like mere curiosity to me.

Look, PSP actually has some games in the chart. How cute.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on January 31, 2008, 06:51:34 AM: Imagine if Monster Hunters had been available for the DS instead of the PSP. Instead of 1.5 million in sales, it might be 3 million - or higher.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe it is a WiiBoard game, but I think they released it too soon.
There is too much going on with WiiFit to really purchase another game that uses the WiiBoard already.
Title: RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on February 01, 2008, 03:56:09 AM: It's a Namco/Bandai game. It can be used with the balance board but it was originally made for the wiimote. The balance board controls were a last minute addition that they decided to add. I've heard the game is decent.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 02, 2008, 02:19:57 PM: There was supposed to be another shipment in Japan today, so I would expect it to hit about 800k in the 1st week, and 1 mill+ by end of week 2.

That was a cool video. So since the big drop from 1996 to 1997, Nintendo has continually gained marketshare in Japan except for 2 minimal drop offs in 2002 and 2004 and now in 2007 have over 70% of the market and with the Wii continuing to gain traction and the DS still showing no signs of slowing, they may have even more in 2008. Crazy.

Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread

Look at all those nintards with Wiis buying their little nintendo picnic gimmick game, wow I thought it was non-gamers who were buying Wii? I guess it's the same thing. Big day for Nintendo but a dark day for the industry as all the third party games this week sold on PS3, so gamers are going to be left with less support on their console of choice Wii for another year or so.

PS3 owners in Japan are friggin morons, no two ways about it. Look at all those SUCKERS buying the more expensive version of DMC4.

1. Well how often does a 360 game have DMC-level sales?

2. Yeah, but their number 1 could literally eat the rest of the list for brunch.

3. Quite a bit leggy, tho I imagine that once every Wii owner has their copy, sales might taper off a bit.

You have to consider that there are thousands upon thousands of new Wii owners every week, and the userbase will only grow faster. And many of these new owners will buy Brawl, so it will have great legs.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on February 10, 2008, 08:45:54 AM: Well considering Melee was the Gamecubes highest selling game in Japan it's only natural that Brawl would do the same. And Melee sold about 1.5 million copies to a user base of 4 million. Considering how the Wii already has a user base of over 5 million now and it keeps growing at a large rate, Brawl will stay on the charts for a long time.

My personal guess is that Brawl will sell somewhere between 2.5 - 3.5 million copies in Japan. Since the Wii is way more popular then the Gamecube ever was over there, there's a much larger audience of people to buy Brawl combined with the 1.5 million Smash fans that bought Melee years ago.
Title: RE: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on February 10, 2008, 08:57:24 AM: I predict 3.5 million lifetime sales for Brawl in Japan; 5 million in NA; and 2 million in Europe.

Edit: I'll also predict 200,000 in Australia, just for the heck of it. Total worldwide sales will be at or around 10 million, by my guesstimations.

Do multi-region games ever sell more in Europe than in NA or Japan? At 600 or 700 million people Europe should have the largest gaming market, but for some reason it doesn't.

No because Super Mario Bros 3 was only 1 game. Nintendogs is like Pokemon since it's several different games counted as one. So Bros 3 still holds the record for best selling stand alone title.

Post by: UltimatePartyBear on February 21, 2008, 12:38:15 AM: I came back from lunch today to see a bag from Gamestop at a coworker's desk. It turns out he lucked into a Wii today, and he spent a large part of the afternoon calling all his friends to tell them the good news. It's been a while since I last had the Wii's phenomenal success demonstrated to me personally.

So, you know, consider this an early scoop on North America sales for February: at least 1.

The PSP is almost twice the Gamecube's user base, but the GC owners bought around 7 million more games at the moment. The PSP might have the worst tie ratio in the history of the industry.

I don't know I hate these rising game prices and very large system investments. Thats pretty bad for me. As this new generation of gamers breed(techno whores and "mature" gamers), prices are going to go up for awhile and incentive for innovation will go down. I think we could end up in another Atari incident.

Post by: KDR_11k on February 22, 2008, 06:25:35 PM: I don't think it's going to reach a crash, you grow out of that "extremeness" so the expensive, "hardcore" games will remain a small part of the market primarily appealing to teenagers while the less extreme games (not talking about nongames, just games that don't sell on great graphics or stuff) remaining the majority. Of course innovation will always stagnate a bit between shakeups, kinda like a post-revolutionary government. There's a need for constant shakeups, a constant revolution to keep the market dynamic and moving.

The PSP fits in with this. Gameboys and stuff set the standard at $150 or below. Then along comes PSP demanding $250.

Sorry I shouldn't have said I don't really expect a crash. Just a period in gaming where most games are generic and have no effect on the mind at all in terms of creating nostalgia. Kinda like a lot of Wii games and a few *shudders* first party games.

Still in the Top 10 though but I'm really not to surprised. If the game is truly excellent it will probably settle there.

If you included pirated games into that tie ratio then the PSP might actually have the greatest tie ratio in history. There is a lot of anecdotal evidence that people only use it for piracy. That's gotta be the explanation for it...

Wow! Devil May Cry bombed or is it me?
Still in the Top 10 though but I'm really not to surprised. If the game is truly excellent it will probably settle there.

Indeed its still there, but for such a high profile game (meaning it cost lots of $$$) it's doing poorly, ain't it? I wonder how a Wii version would sell when compared to the PS3 and Xbox 360 version. :P

Post by: Mario on February 25, 2008, 08:05:12 PM: Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games is ABSOLUTELY UNSTOPPABLE! It's just returned to the #1 spot in the UK from outside the top 40 AGAIN, I think this is the third time? It's shipments are selling out instantly, everywhere. This is Wii's clear #1 game.

07 (26) [NDS] Cooking Mama 2 (505 Games)
08 (02) [360] Devil May Cry 4 (Capcom)
09 (08) [NDS] More Brain Training From Dr Kawashima (Nintendo)
10 (17) [NDS] Sight Training (Nintendo)

Quote
Sega’s title outsells Activision’s ‘Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare’ at No2 by nearly 4 to 1, while ‘Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training’ moves to its highest All Format Chart position so far this year, up from No7 to No3.
Absolutely phenomenal. (btw this quote is from the chart that combines all versions of multiplatform games, that's why CoD4 isn't in the normal top 10)

Anyone who dismissed Mario & Sonic Olympics is getting completely owned on a weekly basis, and guess what? It's going to sell like this ALL YEAR and maybe even better when the Olympics come around. Highest selling game of all time anyone?

Post by: BranDonk Kong on February 26, 2008, 03:16:04 PM: Nintendo should have had Sega publish the Olympic games, then there would finally be a 3rd party Wi game at the top. I'm amazed to see Game Party at #5, that's at least good news for 3rd parties, but it's bad news for gamers because it's crap and now even more publishers will be making...crap.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on February 26, 2008, 04:24:17 PM: Sega did publish it in North America, the two companies split up publishing rights by platform and region. Come to think of it, it all makes sense now; it's selling great in Europe because it's published by Nintendo, and it's not doing nearly as well in North America because it was published by Sega.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mario on February 26, 2008, 06:00:27 PM: It's published by Sega in Europe too. Only in Japan did Nintendo publish it. It's not doing as well in America because Nintendo was too greedy and forced every disc produced to be Galaxy, I could be way off but every report i've heard from there has Olympics sold out. Hence Galaxy not doing as well in Europe, because people didn't HAVE to buy it, and it's not a game with huge appeal.

Though it doesn't look it, Nintendo has neared the saturation point for it's price in Japan. They'll need to lower it a little, and sales should perk back over the PSP again.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on March 14, 2008, 12:56:31 AM: NPD for February...

Nintendo DS - 587.6K (from 251K)
Wii - 432K (from 274K)
PlayStation 2 - 351.8K
PlayStation 3 - 280.8K (from 269K)
Xbox 360 - 254.6K (from 230K)
PSP - 243.1K (from 230K)

Taken from http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=17865 (http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=17865)

PS3 was once again completely pw3d by the PS2, and is still the Wii's bitch. Wii is officially (as of these numbers) at 8.1 million in the US, with 9.6 million for the 360, and PS3 at a mere 3.8 million.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on March 14, 2008, 01:56:45 AM: The PS3 outselling the 360 is interesting. Nice to see the Wii outselling the PS3 and 360 combined and that combined Nintendo hardware sales (Wii and DS) topping 1 million (in February!).

Edit: I accidentally typed what is probably the insult of the year. "insanolard."
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mario on March 14, 2008, 02:08:35 AM: Yep next gen is still clearly dominating the Wii left right up and down. What's even more impressive is that they cost more so consumers clearly care about graphics and game experiences a LOT more than waggle wiggle gimmick gaggle.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on March 14, 2008, 02:54:46 AM: Ah, you're right, I confused the DS and Wii numbers. Still, very impressive numbers.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on March 14, 2008, 09:30:58 AM: The worst thing Sony did for the PS3 was remove backward compatibility. People on the fence probably would have gone for it with the PS2 and Blu-ray punch if they were replacing there PS2. New buyers are another story...

Yeah, I know it has its own talkback article, but I think what I've written is pretty meaty, and it even includes sales numbers for some not-top-ten titles: No More Heroes, Prof. layton, Advance Wars, and DQ: Swords!

Yeah, soo... uhhh.... Go Wii! With 1.5 million units the gap between Wii and XBox 360 in the U.S., I wonder when their paths are going to cross...I cannot see it happening by June unless Nintendo somehow turns March, April, or May into a December all of a sudden, but how about sometime in the fall?

Post by: Deguello on March 21, 2008, 04:14:47 AM: I'd feel bad about PSP overselling DS if the DS wasn't already the best selling console in Japanese history and the games were outselling PSP's NINE to one.

PSP yet again brings horrible software sales to the party.

Some? Who?

And seriously, why not? What's with all the definitionism all of a sudden? And no, if you arbitrarily took away all the "training games," The DS still owns the PSP up and down the street, it's not even close, really.

I hereby rechristen all FPS games as "Twitch Training" titles, thereby rendering the majority of the XBox 360's American library void for purposes of sale domination!

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Deguello on April 06, 2008, 04:59:24 AM: No they don't. DS has already secured its place in history as the bestselling console in Japan of all time. The sad truth behind the PSP is that, yet again, some kind of mutant PS2 game is pushing sales, a game whose sequel is a Wii exclusive. Other than that, the PSP's software sales remain terrible for any new effort. Only those lucky enough to have a pre-existing popular franchise can benefit.

Besides, whenever Dragon Quest IX comes out, the Ds will go even further up.

Well for older game titles they're pretty good, since they add in together all the offical NPD data. But for games that don't have any NPD data yet, yeah they're horrible.

That's why I don't trust VGChartz until a game has been out for a few months.

Why so? Have they changed their policy and now factor in NPD again, or are they still trying to be "mavericks" and clinging to the idea that their methods are more precise and no longer account of the difference between them and the new NPD findings?

Once they made that announcement awhile back I pretty much gave up on them.

Post by: Deguello on April 18, 2008, 01:19:41 AM: It's N64ism, Chozo. The N64 routinely had games in the Top Ten despite being behind a lot. GC too.

And look at what those games are, too. FF7 Spinoff and God of War, one of Sony's more popular franchises. looking at those numbers... I dunno if I would be too happy that the very reason most people even have PSPs (at least that's what they said in 2004) only sold that much.

I always see VGChartz sales trackers say they're actually less accurate than NPD, due to not having as large a data sampling. But it's supposed to be in independent sales tracking site, and at the end of the day, NPD numbers are also an estimates (albeit, more accurate). They do readjust their numbers post NPD though. But I find their numbers to be pretty accurate for the most part, well with their margin for error.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on April 24, 2008, 10:38:51 AM: Well Nintendo has recently released Fiscal Year 2008 results.
http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/index.html

According to the report the Wii has sold 24.45 million units to date. Not to mention the Wii has 26 games that are million sellers and the Wii's LTD Software total is 148,440,000, which gives the Wii an attach rate of 6.07.

Oh yeah, and Smash Bros Brawl has sold 4.85 million copies worldwide. In Japan the game has sold 1.61 million copies, while here in America it's already sold 3.24 million copies. That's right, 3.24 million copies in just over 6 weeks here in America.

This means Brawl will sell over 5 million copies before it's even released in Europe this June. Once it's released in Europe, chances are that Brawl will surpass Melee's lifetime total before the end of the year. Hell, since Melee's lifetime total according to Nintendo is only around 7 million, Brawl should easily surpass that by September or even sooner.

Oh I should also add that Nintendo is predicting to sell around 25 million year for the next year, which means by this time next year the Wii could have a userbase of over 50 MILLION!!!

I imagine by that time third parties will finally start to take the system seriously because a system with a 50 million userbase is going to be impossible to ignore. Or you'd think so anyway. :rolleyes:

That's bloody impressive.. especially for a console that's only been out a year and a half.. and ESPECIALLY for a console that's sold so many units and therefore has many new owners.

And I think we now know that Smash Bros will pass Halo 3 easily in Worldwide LTD sales.. I thought so all along.

Nintendoi's tie ratio of 6.07 worldwide is shipped, understandably. But NPD actually provided numbers for the specific sold American Wii software tie-ratio!

* Xbox 360: software sales ratio: 7.5
* Wii: software sales ratio: 5.3
* PS3: software sales ratio: 4.6

The Wii actually jumped up an entire two games since the last time these numbers came out just 6 months ago! That's great speed! ... of course... we DID just go through a very game-heavy Christmas... hmmm

Post by: DAaaMan64 on April 30, 2008, 04:10:45 PM: How many games are bought per system on average on Wii? 6? So since 3rd parties are about 50 percent of games sold that means that the number that actually matters is 50% of that 6, or 3. Not quite as pretty.

Post by: BeautifulShy on May 15, 2008, 07:29:02 PM: According to Vgchartz the Wii has 11.27 million sold in America and the 360 11.79 million in America. When do you think the Wii will overtake the 360 in America? About the Npd numbers. I added up the Ps2,Ps3,Psp and 360 and they have a combined total of 692,200 where as the Wii by self is more than the competitors if you add the DS with the wii it is 1,129,000!!! I just thought that was humorous.:)

Not really, especially if you consider Halo 3 was in the same position yet still boosted system sales...And that was obviously only for 360...

It doesn't look like the PS3 is ever going to close the gap with the 360 unless something drastic happens that manages to increase sales for it. The 360 is going to be getting its own BLu-ray player feature, so it's hard to see what sort of major advantage the PS3 is going to hold over the 360 at that point.

Nintendo DS 414.8K
PSP 192.7K

The handheld arena for Sony doesn't look much better either. Looks like they are going to be 2nd or 3rd place in marketshare for the remainder of this generation.

1. Anyone think EA is having second thoughts about purchasing Take Two for the previous sum they were offering?

2. Is Microsoft likely cringing from the 50 million designated for the exclusive GTA downloadable content?

It just doesn't have the system-selling power effect that people were expecting...

And the 50 million that MS gave Rockstar was a loan, which means they will get that money back anyway...

The reason is probably because anyone who cares about hardcore violent games probably already owned a PS3 and/or 360 to begin with. The hardcore "mature" market is only so big, and 90% of the people who care probably already have the systems by now anyway. Mom and Dad and Grandma aren't going to be playing GTA IV, so really, how could it be a system seller?

Well now that GTA4 has failed to help the 360/PS3, nothing, I repeat, NOTHING is going to stop the Wii, period. Now I hope 3rd parties will get the message that the Wii is the true successor to the PS2, and finally start giving it serious support.

With numbers like this, it's only a matter of time before the major share holders of each company start asking why their companies aren't supporting the Wii more. With all the money to be made, eventually the people at the top are going to step in and make the Wii their companies focus.

Well didn't we know that the PS3 and 360 are catering to a niche market which buys lots of software, and aren't expanding their fanbase? I guess the PS3 could have done better, but nearly everyone who wants a 360 already has one.

And after that let's wait for June to see what an amazing system seller Metal Gear Solid 4 is, am I right?

Seriously, this isn't even being fanboyish at this point...It's almost 3 million sales for sub-400K system sales...GTA will probably sell another 3 million or more next month but there won't be much change in hardware...
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on May 16, 2008, 05:48:50 AM: Nah, I don't believe in MGS' ability to move significant hardware. But this is GTA, so I'd rather stay on the safe side.

I'm curious as to Nintendo's allocation numbers though. With Japan Wii Sales at maybe about 70k a week, that could be leaving 1.4 million units for America, Eruope, and others. I was worried that Wii numbers would drop back in April, but I'm starting to wonder whether these 700k monthly numbers are actually sustainable... they just might be... and Nintendo's actually looking to increase capacity another 600k units!?!?! Wow.

I'd have to think that Nintendo's going to allocate those extra units to expanding markets, especially with the concern over when demand will end. Korea they've launched in... maybe China this year... I know they're already in South Africa... well... maybe they need to enter the Indian market, I know the 360 has...

X360 - 10,270,000
Wii - 10,180,000
PS3 - 4,450,000

According to this, the 360 only had a 90,000 unit advantage over the Wii by the end of May. This means that the Wii has overtaken the 360 by now since it's already mid June here in North America, and next months NPD will provide the factual proof. This means the Wii is now the offical market leader in every single major territory in the world.

I wonder who is the leader in the Antarctic market these days. Well, I'm just joking, but I guess a few people at that research station down there might be playing video games... at the bottom of the Earth.

Wow Sony catching up BIG TIME. That's quite concerning.

This is all Sales Bot's fault. If he had stayed at his post and kept the sales information flowing then this wouldn't be happening. *cry*

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Deguello on July 18, 2008, 01:57:45 PM: Salesbot was only orientated and programmed to handle spring/summertime sales of the DS and Wii within standard protocols and expected figures.

Obviously he has been a victim of karoshi, and has worked himself to death.

The wife of Salebot's alter ego (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=8312) had a baby in April (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=22329.0). I imagine he's pretty busy these days.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on July 19, 2008, 03:36:58 AM: The Wii version and DS versions COMBINED have sold 10 million copies worldwide. The Wii version by itself is somewhere around 5 million. Which still surpasses Sega's goal of 4 million though.

Of course hopefully this means we'll see another Mario and Sonic crossover in the future. Like a Nintendo developed Platformer with the two of them, that's developed by ONLY Nintendo with Sega having no involvement in the development process at all.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mario on July 19, 2008, 03:41:07 AM: No Segas goal of 4 million was also for both versions combined.

Hopefully the sequel involves MotionPlus! That would make the game even more amazing.

It's not really insane considering it uses two of the most popular mascots in videogames and places them in a venue that's relevant time wise.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on July 27, 2008, 03:18:55 PM: That seems positive.

Well I've duct taped the older parser together. I have a plan for some new features that will squeeze even more statistic information out of these numbers. Those I will hopefully have soon. As far as the back-end I have a total rewrite in mind using the latest technology. This will probably take a couple months for planning and development. Once done though it should make the Parser more resistant to current problems like parentheses and brackets in the title. Also as a bonus will maybe allow me to have more statistics. Now if I could automate the posting and abstraction of the data is an end goal but nothing but a pipe dream at current.

Thinks for the support.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: vudu on July 28, 2008, 02:50:28 PM: I hate to be the nay-sayer, but I'm not a big fan of Sales Bot. It seems more of a data dump than any sort of meaningful report. It takes way too much effort to sort through the data to extract any meaningful information. I would much prefer a higher-level report that gives more general information as well as a little more detail on notable games.

If you do decide to bring him back, I would urge you to incorporate some of the new forum features such as tables, bullet points, and preformatted text. Unless of course that requires way too much work, in which case ignore me.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on July 30, 2008, 12:28:39 AM: Dude they were just announcing 20 million a couple months ago. At this rate, there's little to no question that the Wii will surpass the PS2's 130 million.

Post by: Luigi Dude on July 30, 2008, 05:36:20 AM: Nintendo releases their Q1 Earnings.

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2008/080730e.pdf

As of the end of Q1, according to Nintendo the Wii has sold a total of 29.62 million units of hardware and the DS has sold a total of 77.54 million units. And in terms of software, the Wii has sold 188.85 million units, while the DS has sold 406.19 million.

In comparison, the Gamcube to this day according to Nintendo has only sold 21.74 million units in hardware and 208.56 million in software. While the GBA has sold 81.24 million units in hardware and 376.94 million in software.

Oh and it should also be noted that Mario Kart Wii as of the end of Q1 according to Nintendo has sold 6.42 million copies worldwide. That's right in only a few months Mario Kart Wii has sold close to 6.5 million copies and is still selling in every territory as well. The way things are going Mario Kart Wii could easily end up being the best selling Mario Kart game of all time.

Post by: BeautifulShy on July 30, 2008, 07:13:57 AM: I guess I jumped the gun,but that amount is a weeks sales. Wow those Mario Kart sales are great!
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on July 30, 2008, 08:25:30 AM: So at ~188 million software sales, and ~30 million hardware, that puts the attach rate at over 6 games per console, not too shabby, considering Microsoft is always bragging about theirs, which is at around 8 games ATM, I believe.

I hate to be the nay-sayer, but I'm not a big fan of Sales Bot. It seems more of a data dump than any sort of meaningful report. It takes way too much effort to sort through the data to extract any meaningful information. I would much prefer a higher-level report that gives more general information as well as a little more detail on notable games.

If you do decide to bring him back, I would urge you to incorporate some of the new forum features such as tables, bullet points, and preformatted text. Unless of course that requires way too much work, in which case ignore me.

Actually when the forums first switched over I had something that fully exploited a lot of the new features. Unfortunately it made things even more cluttered. I have the segments break for the high level stuff below. I try to keep it in segments so anyone wanting to look a the top 50 can or you could just jump to the bottom.

An another note, I don't know if anyone noticed, but the last time I had the last weeks rank there was a new feature that used the coloring of the new forums. It put in Green games that had risen in the ranks, red for ones that had fallen, and black for new or games that stayed the same. It also told which game rose and fell the most ranks. Also if you hover over any of the abbreviated links in the top 50 you'll get there full name, ex PS3 show Playstation 3. Once everythings done I have some other stats I want to show and I'm going to try the whole table thing again and hope it isn't as big of a mess as the last time I tried it.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Flames_of_chaos on August 10, 2008, 05:04:16 PM: Expect to see a boost for the 360 next week because Japanese people actually waited in line for the release of ToV. From what I saw there was a lot of special Tales of Vesperia system bundles.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread

from famitsu
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on August 10, 2008, 05:33:09 PM: I would think Symphonia 2 has the sales edge simply because of how many more Wiis there are out there than 360s.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BeautifulShy on August 10, 2008, 05:38:23 PM: Insanolord you do have a point. Do we know how much TOS2 sold thus far and how long it took to get there?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Flames_of_chaos on August 10, 2008, 06:06:35 PM: Well also Tales of Symphonia 1 was one of the more successful Tales of game so it's going to sell well. Vesperia will have limited success, even though namco bandai are putting their RPG eggs on the 360 just because of NA and to a lesser extent Europe Culdcept Sagas, Eternal Sonata didn't do so great in NA.

I don't know how much TOS2 sold but it was enough to entice namco bandai to make the next main series entry on the Wii.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BeautifulShy on August 10, 2008, 06:18:43 PM: I heard that about the next entry as well Flames. Is the Fatal Frame games big sellers in Japan and elsewhere? I know there was bugs in this newest instalment so that will probably push sales down.Do you believe that Tecmo, Grasshopper and Nintendo will get it fixed before release in the west?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Flames_of_chaos on August 10, 2008, 06:33:30 PM: Well it did just debut in that week and it most likely wont come out in PAL and NA until 2009. And it launched with a respectable 34k units that week.

Edit: Misread your question, Fatal Frame as I know is a very niche series in North America, PS2 versions sold the best (obviously) and the xbox versions bombed. In Japan and NA it's no way as popular as Resident Evil or Silent Hill but I think it's more popular than Siren.

Er, about as much as I expect Sarotti to have success in Africa because their logo is a black man. Mario is pretty much a mixture of stereotypes and I doubt he's seen as a positive aspect of his games in Italy, probably closer to personified racism.

The Gamecube wasn't popular in any region during its lifetime, so even if it failed in Italy that doesn't really prove anything. Because it failed everywhere...

I really would be interested to hear how Mario and Luigi are viewed by the people of Italy. Are they viewed as lovable national heroes, or as racist stereotypes over there?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on August 13, 2008, 10:23:43 AM: I guess they're seen as comedic cartoon heroes that are expectably stereotyped. Not like there aren't plenty of stereotyped characters for non-americans in cartoons.

Quote
NPD Data Shows Nintendo’ s Summer of Fun Isn’ t Done

Nintendo products kept people entertained in July, whether they wanted to get fit, rock out or just play around. According to the independent NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States, Nintendo DS™ and Wii™ again claimed the top two hardware spots for July, with more than 608,000 DS units and more than 555,000 Wii units sold. Wii claimed a 49 percent share of all console sales in July, and extended its lead as the best-selling console of this generation. Nintendo DS represented a 73 percent share of hand-held sales in July.

Five games made for Nintendo systems placed in the top 10 best-selling games of the month, including Wii Fit ™ , with 369,603 units sold at No. 2; Guitar Hero ® : On Tour for Nintendo DS, with 309,695 units sold at No. 3; Wii Play ™ , with 284,035 units sold at No. 4; Mario Kart ® Wii , with 174,464 units sold at No. 7; and Rock Band for Wii, with 162,886 units sold at No. 8.

“ Great hardware goes hand-in-hand with great software,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’ s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “ Various types of games for the Nintendo systems are represented in the top 10, demonstrating how we continue to break down the barriers between veteran and new players.”

Post by: Deguello on August 15, 2008, 11:21:58 PM: The hidden story is that Tales of Symphonia GC is the best selling Tales game of all time, and the only one to sell a million worldwide.

Namco's response to this was to ignore that fanbase (despite tie ratios) and make PS2 Tales games that sold incrementally more in Japan and much much worse in America.

Hopefully Namco remembers this lesson and starts cranking out Wii Tales games, but I doubt it since business sense went out the window the second this generation started.

You do know that Namco announced that the next tales game is going to be for Wii right?

Third party promises leave a lot to be desired this generation.

Third parties are still apparently in this mode where all they have to do is promise Wii owners a game and that lets them off the hook as far as the majority is concerned. Until screens of the game exists and/or the game is released, I remain unimpressed.

Not to go off on a third party rant here, but I will remain unimpressed by most third party support until I see major shifts toward the Wii and it being at the expense of PS3 and 360 projects. The current strategy of "No Console Left Behind" is a failing one. Most third parties are losing a lot of money, and the extremely successful ones are the ones with strong Wii support or a cavalcade of DS games. I'm not saying this as a fanboy, or maybe I am but I'm also saying it as a fan of certain third parties who have lost their way and started making more expensive games for less people and getting less sales. Third parties had their greatest sales and most influence when they focused on one platform mainly and maybe dabble in another occasionally. Those that spread themselves too thin are the ones suffering, and they should simply back the market leader like they have been doing for decades. No excuses. No demographics. No complaints.

This attempt at "equal support" is similar to the "separate but equal" laws during Southern Segregation. Whites and Blacks had their own public bathrooms, yes. But the White bathrooms were maintained and polished, while the Black bathrooms were infested, filthy,a nd of low quality. Any attempt to complain about conditions was met with "you should be lucky you have bathrooms at all." To say that they SHOULD be happy is similar to saying Wii owners, fans, and backers should be happy with the shoestring support they have been getting is laughable to logicians and dangerous to investors.

Somebody's gonna have to get cut off and the smart money's pointing in the direction of uber-HD. The Wii userbase just keeps growing and growing, and every time a third party executive or PR person jawbones and hem-haws about demographics and recombinant entertainment metrics and dynamic exclusionary videogame ecosystems, they look stupider and stupider when NPD and Media Create come in with Wii way out in front and everybody else breathing fumes.

It's time for survival, and they can no longer afford HD pipe dreams nor to be continually "surprised" by the Wii's performance after 2 years.

(sorry to go off on a tangent.)

I wonder what will happen once the Wii sells more than the other two combined worldwide? Will the goalposts for Wii's success be moved again?

Post by: Flames_of_chaos on August 17, 2008, 01:25:30 PM: Well Deg there will always be hardheaded companies like Epic that won't ever do a Wii game because the president of the company is a complete narrow minded dick(just look up why Mike Capps didn't allow People Can Fly(a Epic subsidiary) to make a Wii version of their EA game). I personally think that the Wii 3rd party situation is fine Japanese 3rd parties (companies and developers) are putting in the most thought and effort into Wii games and Wii support even the niche companies like Marvelous, Atlus, Xseed, AQI. Some big Western companies give very nice support for the Wii but unfortunately they mar it equally with the traditional glut of crap.

Well Namco hasn't been very bright one in the last few years, so it could take a while. But I'd imagine that sometime next year they'll finally give in. By 2009, the Wii will have a bigger userbase then the PS3 and 360, COMBINED. When this happens, Namco like most other third parties will have to finally take the Wii seriously, because it's where all the money is at.

Well hey Namco and Bandai combined into one, Activision swallowed up a lot of companies killed of Sierra and then molded all the Sierra owned companies to their likings. EA bought some companies and now EA turned from a bad guy into a good guy. Nature does some weird magic.

Wario isn't sprite based, everything is hand drawn.

Post by: Kairon on September 07, 2008, 07:11:36 AM: It'll be interesting to see how the new XBox 360 lower price affects this Holiday season. Sony was just starting to close the gap, but the lower 360 prices throw their American sales progress in jeopardy...

And of course, for Nintendo this could have been a real slam dunk Holiday hardware season, but maybe it'll also be a season that will demonstrate that the other HD consoles are here to stay and won't roll over quite yet.

Also I'm pondering when Nintendo will catch 50% marketshare worldwide... hmm... By VGChartz's (irreputable) guesstimates, they're 5 million units away from doing so, and maybe Nintendo can pull market majority (as opposed to market plurality) by next summer if they're really aggressive... and keep upping their sales estimates.

As for sales this week Rhythm Tengoku Gold continues to sell great this week. The DS software and hardware is selling great.

But really ever since January the PS3 has been outselling the 360 month by month but it wasnt until MGS4 came out that widened the gap. I personally think that a oct/nov price drop would been the most significant since that's the season where people buy the most gifts september was a little early since it's back to school time.

It's not like the price drop is a limited time thing, the price will still be lower in October and November. I'm personally happy that they did it early since I'm buying one soon.

At this point Mattrick(sp?) admitted that Microsoft can't beat the Wii or Wii's momentum, the Wii and DS are absolute monsters in terms of hardware and software sales. I think MS wants a solid 2nd place more than anything. But it really is a bad time for a 360 price drop because the only big hit coming out soon on 360 is the disc only version of Rock Band 2 so it's a missed opportunity. MS would of scored a much heavier blow on Sony if they dropped the price when the big system sellers come out such as Fable II and their other fall/winter games.

EA slapping the "all play" label on its games doesn't get their Wii-centric gameplay ideas across -- they should be SHOWING how the games are played and not hide those ideas behind HD game footage in the advertising.

Nintendo hasn't tried to change it because they realize it's not possible to change it. EA is sports gaming and there aren't enough moneyhats in the world to get them to make the Wii their primary focus, and even if there were and they did the games would still sell better on the 360.

Nintendo consoles have always sucked for sports, but you'd think that Madden would perform better on userbase alone. It getting outsold 6:1 by PS3 and 10:1 by 360 was surprising to me, when usually it's the other way around for most games. Madden is the exception to the rule, I guess.

Yeah, if VGChartz is to be believed Madden 09 on the Wii is barely outperforming the Maddens on the GameCube, despite the difference in userbase and the fact that EA put a lot more effort into it than they ever did on the Cube.

Wii Sports is as much a sports game as the home run contest in Smash Bros. Brawl is a sports game. It's the gameplay that hooks people, not the sports context. The sports context is really irrelevant.

Except the gameplay in Wii sports is PLAYING A SPORT. Gameplay with two players hitting a tennis ball back and forth, gameplay where you hit a golf ball into a hole, and game play where you bowl down pins. What more sports content do you want to make it a sports game? Is it not a sports game unless there is updated stats or do only certain sports like football and basketball actually apply? I thought sports games just required the gameplay to be about, well, playing a sport.

Should we really be surprsed that a system that attracts old gamers who stopped playing because of things like every Madden being practically the same and new gamers who care about a fun game and just see Madden as the game that his crazy son/friends picked up every year for seemingly no reason.

If the Wii's new market hurts the Madden "upgrade" formula I couldn't be happier. If they want to sell an old game to new people they need to start advertising the new functions to the new people, not just talking about it on the internet.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Deguello on September 14, 2008, 05:08:46 PM: I think the bigger story is that Madden's first month sales seem to be lower this year than last year.

If EA can't keep their typical cash cow healthy and have failed to attract the Wii owners, then they may be in for a lot of trouble.

Before people start handwringing about Wii's "hardcore chances," it should probably be noted that the DS version tanked all day long. I don't think people will find many agreeing opinions if they were to argue that the DS is not a "hardcore console."

EA screwed up their chances on Madden for Wii this year by doing two things:

1. Ridiculous purpose-branding like "All-Play" which basically made the game like a sub-game. I mean it's like two flavors of ice cream and one that has a label saying "Low fat." No wonder it sold less.

2. EA's decision to basically only advertise the 360 version.

For a game left to the wolves with zero advertising I think Wii Madden did pretty well. But I never really cared about Madden, just like owners of the SNES didn't. Genesis owners cared. And nobody cares today that Genesis owners liked Madden 94 better than SNES owners.

Edit: And, preemptively, before people also start saying it's Nintendo's responsibility to ensure that EA games sell on Wii, that may have been the case when Nintendo wasn't the market leader. But since Nintendo is the market leader, if the market rejects Madden NFL All-Play 09, then something is wrong with the product, not the consumers. If EA wants to continue losing money or making razor-thin profits with this strategy, they can. It's no water off Nintendo's back, they're sitting fat.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_Lindy on September 14, 2008, 06:01:58 PM: I'm pretty sure Madden's sales were the same as last year. Pre-orders were down, but sales were the same (read that on Gamasutra). I mean, when they sell the same game to the same people every year, I don't know why they expect substantial growth.

I think that the reason why sports games struggle on Nintendo platforms isn't entirely the fault of third-parties. Nintendo has never made sports games any sort of priority or given them any sort of marketing on their consoles, so you can't expect much. Nintendo doesn't really care about the sports simulation game market. Which makes sense, because it isn't their core competency anyways.

The longer you ignore Wii Sports, or pretend it's not a Sports game (despite having SPORTS in the damn title) the more it looks odd when you omit it.

Wii Sports is the most realistic simulation of Sports on the market. Which is why it is the best selling game of the generation, bundles or no (The game quickly became the reason people bought Wiis to begin with). Nintendo has a powerful Sports game on new values like actual motion simulation, and less on stats and franchise modes.

And it is the fault of third parties. For too long has Nintendo been saddled with the guilt of third party failure after third party failure, simply because they had the smallest userbase. Now that they have the largest, it's time for the blame to be shifted onto the third parties. Or Third PARTY as the case may be with NFL Football games.

And since when did third parties care what Nintendo "prioritizes?" They prioritized absolutely jawesome games like Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3. Nobody copies those or even tries to. That would require too much effort when they can squirt out a Wii Sports or Nintendogs clone and call it a day. Or make dumb minigames and "All-Play" purpose-branding in order to placate a market they perceive exists. Third parties are in the wrong here. Nobody ran defense for 2K when All-Pro Football tanked recently. Nobody blamed those consumers when they chose Madden instead. And as such, the Wii owners, or should I say the majority of the market, is not going to be blamed for Madden's inept failure to attract the already sports-activated audience by Wii Sports.

EA is going to want to get these people, because it's more money and not less money, and they will just have to try harder and IN EARNEST next year.

I believe they did at one point in the N64 life cycle where they had a N64 sports logo where theres usually a N64 logo on the box, cart and manual.

Anyways on the sports debate I think people are more likely to gravitate to the Mario Sports titles on Nintendo system.

Deg, Wii Sports is a success is because everywhere except in Japan it's included with the system so people own it whether they like it or not. And Wii Sports and Wii Play are positioned and marketed as a way for people to get accustomed to the mechanics of motion controls for new or seasoned gamers alike with popular mainstream sports (wii sports) or popular activities(sort of) (Wii Play).

True, but EA isn't the only company making sports games you know, I'm very happy with Mario Sluggers, We Love Golf and MLB Power Pros as "meatier sports games" on Wii. And guess what? EA doesn't make any of them.

Heres the main problem with that sentence, Madden, Tiger, or "insert any EA sports franchise here" are the same exact core game every year with only mechanic/control tweaks, roster stat updates and so forth. If EA didn't hook the person with the game in the prior years they certainly won't in the future years. A lot of people who buy Madden and other EA sports games typically bought last year's or the year's before game. And of course those games are going to have diminishing returns.

Nintendo has a powerful Sports game on new values like actual motion simulation, and less on stats and franchise modes.

it's the most realistic simulation of the MOTION of sports on the market. I don't consider the Wii Sports home-run contest to be an accurate simulation of the game of baseball. I consider it to be an accurate simulation of me swinging a bat. Bowling is very realistic, but the baseball, tennis, and golf games are really simplistic.

Thing is, the people that are buying Madden ARE buying it for franchise modes and stats, not motion control. The fact that Wii Madden is gimped in some areas when compared to the 360 and PS3 versions of the game is probably more of a killer than anything here. The best Madden experience is going to be on 360/PS3, since it's much better for online play and just slicker and better-looking in general.

The people that are buying the Wii for Wii Sports don't care about traditional sports games (especially the people buying it now that we're well past the early adopter phase). Wii Sports and Madden are about as far away from each other on the gaming landscape as you can get. Comparing them is like comparing PilotWings and Microsoft Flight Simulator...they're targeting two totally different markets.

I don't buy this argument entirely. Third-parties have ALWAYS struggled on Nintendo platforms to some degree. Sports games, which are mainly made by third-parties, have also struggled. Not just this generation, but ever since the SNES days. At some point Nintendo has to get some of the blame for that, probably in the sense that they don't market their consoles as sports consoles, or don't market third-party games. I don't think that they cannibalize third-parties with their big titles, since big first-party titles and third-party titles seem to do fine on the 360 and PS3.

I think third-parties also share the blame though, since they often don't make good games and then wonder why they don't sell.

I don't think Wii Sports is going to make anybody start craving Madden. People like Wii Sports because it requires zero knowledge of the sports involved. They gravitate to Wii Sports and gravitate away from stuff like Madden; it doesn't act as some gateway drug to make them crave a deeper experience. I'd say this for the Wii in general, actually. I think people nowadays buy a Wii because they don't really have to worry about complicated control schemes, not as a starting point to move towards more complex control schemes. If they wanted complex control schemes they'd already have a 360 or PS3.

I don't think 150,000K in sales is going to make them care. They'll likely just service the platform adequately and that's about it. If they're smart, they'll see it as a growth opportunity and try to get those sales up, but I'm not sure if they know what to do on the Wii platform to begin with. If they were smart, they make Madden Wii like one of the Mario sports games. I think that would actually sell.

The idea that Nintendo should pay for advertising other companies' games is so insane that I can't believe otherwise reasonable people keep spouting it. If more advertising would help, then why doesn't EA pay for it?

I think Wii Sports players want a deeper experience, but they don't want the traditional sports game version of depth. In Madden, depth means franchise mode, a thick playbook, and stats out the wazoo. Wii Sports is about depth of play; Madden is about depth of experience. Both are good kinds of depth, and they're not even mutually exclusive. The problem is that EA thinks that Wii Sports is shallow because it doesn't have the kind of depth they're used to dealing with. They're trying to recreate the feeling of Wii Sports without understanding why it's good. It's like trying to make a painting as good as the Mona Lisa with the idea that what people like about the original is the color scheme.

The problem is that EA never once advertised that feature, so the only people who knew it was there were the people that read the previews who most likely were interested in the game for different reasons and didn't really care about it and the people that may have bought the game for it had no idea it was there..

Too bad Midway sucks horribly now, they even got Blitz wrong with the new renditions on 360.

And isn't Tecmo Bowl already confirmed on Wii in a way.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on September 15, 2008, 10:08:35 PM: Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's talking about the Tecmo Bowl that's coming to the Wii next year, that he wants it to be the way he described. Wanting Tecmo Bowl to be about stats is like that guy who wanted to turn Star Fox into a serious space sim, though; the game idea sounds good but it doesn't fit with the series and should be its own thing.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_Lindy on September 15, 2008, 10:24:12 PM: The Tecmo Super Bowl games have always had tons of stats. Before Madden became the pre-eminent football franchise, Tecmo Super Bowl was the game with the most stats and deepest team rosters on the market.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on September 16, 2008, 02:41:06 AM: I wasn't aware of that. Most of my time with Tecmo Bowl has been with the original NES version and its Game Boy counterpart; my friend's brother had Tecmo Super Bowl on the NES but we almost always played the original.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_Lindy on September 16, 2008, 09:57:00 AM: Yeah, the NES version didn't have any of the heavy stat stuff. Starting with Tecmo Super Bowl, it started tracking all kinds of statistical categories.

God I love that game.

The 5-on-5 mode in Madden 09 on the Wii really does feel like a Wii Sports football game, with simplified rules and a very simplified playbook (4 options: short pass, medium pass, deep pass, or run) and is right there at the main menu so you don't have to search for it. The problem is that EA never once advertised that feature, so the only people who knew it was there were the people that read the previews who most likely were interested in the game for different reasons and didn't really care about it and the people that may have bought the game for it had no idea it was there..

I think that's still missing the point. I don't think Wii Sports is popular because even stupid people can understand it (insert obvious EA executive joke here). A tacked-on sub-game that isn't even real football isn't catering to the Wii Sports audience. It's catering to the audience EA thinks likes Wii Sports: people too dumb to handle a "real" game.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on September 16, 2008, 04:09:24 PM: Have you actually played the game? 5 on 5 really does feel like it was ripped out of Wii Sports (a couple friends and I had a lot of fun with it even though we are perfectly capable of playing traditional Madden, which we did too), plus the All-Play modes for the regular game work really well. This would be a really good game for a casual Wii owner that's a football fan but it was advertised in entirely the wrong way.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: UltimatePartyBear on September 16, 2008, 04:16:36 PM: I didn't say it wasn't good. I just think that the selling points you listed line up quite nicely with the thinking that casual means retarded.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on September 16, 2008, 04:33:45 PM: It shouldn't have. EA did a great job with this game and it's one of the best examples of modifying a gamer game so that it's more accessible on the Wii (and I really don't like having to look like I'm an EA plant like this to get that point across). It doesn't matter, though, since they completely screwed up in the advertising department.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_Lindy on September 16, 2008, 05:56:46 PM: I think the "All-Play" marketing is a mess. It likely caused hardcore Maddenites(?) to dismiss the game as something made for children, while the non-hardcore would look at it and say, "It's Madden, how simple can it be?"

It's a classic case of trying to cater to everybody, but actually catering to nobody. For the Wii, I think it would make more sense to have a Madden spin-off franchise like EA's done with their "BIG" line. Or actually make it part of the BIG line, for that matter. Call it something like "Madden NFL Rush". That way they could even milk more money out of their megabucks NFL license by using it for a second game franchise that's clearly distinct from the more simulation-based Madden proper.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on September 16, 2008, 06:02:12 PM: Does no one read my posts? The game is great for the blue ocean, and I've enjoyed it a great deal as well and I am someone who plays Madden quite a bit and buys it every year. The game has flaws but it's great for both groups. The problem is 100% marketing.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_Lindy on September 16, 2008, 06:25:11 PM: I guess that's what I'm getting at with the spin-off game idea. I don't think that Madden's Wii problems are from the game itself, but rather the kind of jumbled message that people get from it. Is it for hardcore Madden fans? Is it for casual fans? If I liked Madden on PS2, will I like this? If I liked Wii Sports, will I like this? It's pretty confusing from the outside looking in.

If they had Madden as the sim game, a spin-off game as the over-the-top game, and sold them both as such, it'd be a lot easier to get that message to consumers.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on September 16, 2008, 06:28:47 PM: That's probably true. The game as it is is good for both casual gamers and serious sports gamers but I don't think there's a way to effectively market the game to one group without alienating the other.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_Lindy on September 16, 2008, 07:47:23 PM: I've been playing Madden 09 (on 360) and they've simplified the controls a little bit, so it's not THAT difficult to learn any more. They've mapped the juking/spinning etc. to the right stick, which is way more intuitive. I still mess up throwing to receivers sometimes though, because I just can't get the face buttons (X/Y/B) down cold.

I think EA should buy Tecmo, and then they could make Madden Tecmo Super Bowl with the NFL license. Problem solved (for me).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: SixthAngel on September 17, 2008, 02:31:28 AM: There are two problems with Madden.

One is the name. The name has been around for too long and is already assosiated with certain gameplay and stat updates. All the advertisements in the world won't change a brand overnight, if at all, especially when there are two different versions on the market. If someone is only a casual football watcher they won't even know what the name Madden is or means anymore. The name already aims it right at hardcore football watchers.

The second is that Madden is completely aimed at the male demographic. A lot of the new gamers are female and football fans tend to be predominantly male. Football games are not going to sell well to females. If you want to sell sports games to females don't repackage your testosterone fueled Madden game, make a sports game that they want to play like Wii bowling. Wrapping motion controls around your football game won't sell it to people who don't like football.

Maxi,
The 360 vs Wii numbers are contested because in Japan Famitsu and Media Create release their own numbers so there will obviously be some variance, the console sales are MC's numbers except rounded. The variance between famitsu and media create is roughly by 1000.

I've been out of it for a while, so maybe a few of you could fill me in, but why is Wii & 360 seliing neck & neck while PS3 barely has a leg up on the PS2?

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BeautifulShy on September 21, 2008, 01:09:25 PM: B&M I can tell you why the 360 is doing well. The 360 got a price drop and that game Infinite Discovery came out. The past few weeks I noticed the Wii sales drop from previous weeks.I don't know why. PS3 last big game was MGS4.That was a few months ago.So I would guess lack of software.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Flames_of_chaos on September 21, 2008, 03:53:11 PM: Well Infinite Undiscovery is published by Square-Enix originally it was supposed to be published by Microsoft but they gave it to Square and it worked in Japan. PS3 isn't getting anything that really interests people to warrant a sales boom, Wii is doing normally in Japan but watch it explode again once Wii Music comes out.

360 usually does 2000 - 4000 a week, a few people from NeoGaf who live near Akihabara noticed that a lot of used 360s showed up after the week Tales of Vesperia came out.

Random "quirkyness" doesn't make a game successful there.

If you want my guess it'll sell only to the hardcore who have absorbed all the hype for so long, the mainstream will shrug it off. Didn't the same thing happen to Boom blox? The hardcore loved it and thought it had mainstream appeal but it didn't work out?

Well, you're right, but keep in mind Apple products are pretty much just the hardware. Every young person in every country loves a shiny little colorful piece of technology that plays their favorite music. The music itself, however, that's the really difficult thing...

I'm sure from a hardware perspective the Japanese don't have much to complain about as far as MS stuff is concerned (well, aside from it being gigantic and prone to failure), but the software that runs on that hardware is the thing... that software generally doesn't appeal to their cultural tastes. A large percentage of the Xbox library is FPS and other shoot em ups, and that's never really been popular over there for some reason. That's why Metroid doesn't do well there, and that's why MS doesn't do well there either.

If MS starts focusing more on RPGs and dating simulators then their success in Japan is assured.

Well maybe the 360 deserves to have been ignored. I mean all they made for almost two generations were western-ish games and direct PC ports. You could call it something... abandonment if you will. And every attempt to get their core market up to now has basically been a failure because, to them, it felt as if each time they were being pandered to. Sort of like metal band label releasing a rap album every 5 years.

And each time the game sells about 100,000, a few people buy 360's for the sole purpose of the game, and then trade it in, just like what happened with MGS4 and Ninja Gaiden on the original Xbox. And each time it costs MS more than the real value of the product because they basically subsidize the game's losses on the front end. You may wonder where the downside is, but it's quite apparent when the majority market is denied a chance to play a game because MS is keeping it anchored on a system that's going nowhere, and the developer loses relevancy and exposure to the largest marketbase.

Also, I believe Namco made Ace Combat 6.

Are you being sarcastic? You just listed the worst problems the hardware could possibly have and then said its not the problem. Just the failure rate alone is enough to justify the 360 bombing anywhere and then you also talk about how its huge in a country where space is a premium. The 360 has big problems everywhere.

RPGs and dating sims will not win over the market, just the hardcore "nerds" that have been buying the current rpgs. Japan buys a lot more things than the stereotype we read on the internet. Besides regular people can get their rpg or dating sim (I don't realy know if these are that popular) fix on the DS or even still on the ps2. They don't care about getting the next typicial by the book jrpg in HD.

Post by: oohhboy on September 23, 2008, 08:26:40 AM: If you have ever lived in Japan outside of a hotel room space IS a premium. It is one of many issues that the 360 has. The failure rate would have been considered an insult.

For Sony, in Japan size might have been an issue, it really boils down to a general failure on their part in understanding any part of the market. Over priced, **** PR messages, lack of direction other than Blue-Ray. The same dangling of killer games that plagued the N64, but the 64 delivered, abet far too late.

you also talk about how its huge in a country where space is a premium.

AFAIK the PS3 is larger so it doesn't matter that much.

You are like a kid who gets caught doing something bad and then says "Joey did it too." It doesn't matter who else does it, especially when the Wii is still there competing, kicking ass, and doing these things right.

Post by: NWR_Lindy on September 23, 2008, 01:34:19 PM: The PS3 is larger than the 360, actually. It's a little longer.

The problem the 360 has in Japan is its games, pure and simple. Look at the games that own Japan: Wii Anything, Brain Training, Dragon Quest, Monster Hunter. The 360 doesn't have any games like that to hang its hat on, and they aren't coming either.

There's certainly a Japanese audience for Western FPSes and RPGs (Oblivion did fairly well in Japan, if I recall), but it's not a massive one. You'll get your sales spikes for 360-exclusive fan favorites (Ninja Gaiden 2, Ace Combat 6, Blue Dragon, Infinite Undiscovery), but aside from that there isn't much to appeal to the mainstream Japanese audience, as I see it.

I'm pointing at evidence. The 360 is doing much worse than the PS3 while the PS3 is even larger so blaming it on the size can't be right and the Japanese company had no qualms about upping the size even more. I doubt console size is a big issue anyway considering you store them under the TV.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_Lindy on October 16, 2008, 11:06:33 PM: I was at Wal-Mart the other day, and they have the Wii games behind glass right next to the 360 games. Comparing the two game displays was striking. The Wii game covers were almost ENTIRELY cartoony. It was like looking at a lineup sheet for Nickelodeon or something. The 360 games had your typical sports, FPS, and action/adventure game covers that weren't designed for kid appeal.

If I was a parent of a young child walking into Wal-Mart that knew nothing about gaming and I looked at the 360 games vs. Wii games that Wal-Mart has on display, the Wii selection is the NO-BRAINER choice for a child. The cover of almost every Wii game they had on the shelf had the same art design as something like Petz Horsez.

That's why Nintendo is cleaning up. Everything about their console from the controls to the games to the game covers says "buy this for your kid". To the uninformed masses, that snap judgement is all they need for a purchase.

Post by: NWR_Lindy on October 17, 2008, 04:40:50 AM: I don't think the Wii's selection is diverse at all. Most traditional genres are barely represented. RPGs? Fighting games? First-person shooters/adventures? They don't really exist beyond one or two titles in each genre, and if those titles aren't made by Nintendo then they're probably mediocre.

What the Wii does well are multiplayer games, and I think the game library is highly indicative of that. There's lots of party games in various guises (and I throw Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash Bros. Brawl in this category), sports games, and family fare.

To be fair, these genres barely exist at all in this current generation of consoles. 360's leading the way with RPG's, and it has what... five of them? Since 2005? Yeah.

Also, I think GP's claim of diversity is talking about games beyond traditional genres and other crazy stuff, the argument being that the 360 and PS3 have nothing but the traditional genres.

That's how I look at it, during the buy 2 get 1 free sale at Toys R Us I wanted to get 3 PS3 games and it took me like 40 minutes to pick out what I wanted. So I ended up getting Folklore, Civilization Revolution, Battlefield Bad Company with Wii theres so much varied stuff that I want to try and looks fun.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Deguello on October 17, 2008, 07:21:20 AM: Just to add to Ferny's thing about genres, it's not like fighting games have been well representing either, most aren't doing too well and the two best-selling for the entire generation are Dead of Alive 4 and Super Smash Bros., and since Team Ninja is basically dead now, that really only leaves one relevant fighting game left.

And yet despite all this, it is true that the Wii does have more genre variety. It just has more titles in more genres, either the best in the field or solid entries in their deficits. There are whole genres that the 360 and especially the PS3 ignore or relegate to "download game" (say it with a sneer). And as the userbase grows it'll get more, where the other two will refine their games and probably only represent a few genres by the end of it, sorta of like the N64, except without Nintendo's last minute attempts (like Paper Mario and Animal Forest (in Japan))

IT isn't as stark as DS vs. PSP, where the DS has a game for every genre and possibly every profession (doctor to stock trader to bartender), and they are the best in every field, sometimes by default. While the PSP has it pretty much narrowed down to PS2-port-nobody-bought-the-first-time. spinoff-nobody-really-wants, or original-game-nobody-buys. It's why the PSP's 2nd redesign probably won't do much. The DS Lite hit at just the right time with New Super Mario Bros, having a piece of software drive the hardware. The PSP 3000 just doesn't have a game anybody wants with it, so Sony's resorted to Nintendo-GameCube-style bundling.

But I digressed. The Wii has the most genres filled and will definitely get more as time goes by and smaller third parties fill the gaps the bigger ones don't want to. Even RPGs, which the 360 "leads" now, if only because they are willing to shell out more than they are really worth, only to have them flop in Japan and kinda do the same here, and like Ferny said. Since 2005, there's really only been a handful. But a crapload of them for the Wii were announced during TGS and you know there will be more, especially as the userbase grows. It's just what being the market leader entails.

You do have a point, though. The PS3 and 360 offer no serious improvements in HOW games are played. The only thing they do is make them look better.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_Lindy on October 17, 2008, 10:49:02 AM: If the Wii did present a good mix of games across all genres, then traditional genres WOULD be represented (like they are on the DS). You can't just pick and choose which genres you consider important and discard the rest.

And again, the whole notion that Sony and Microsoft have done nothing for gaming but "make game prettier" is a fallacy. Exactly what they're doing now seemed perfectly acceptable when it was done on GameCube, but now it's sneered at because it's not "Blue Ocean" or something? Come on, give Sony and Microsoft their due. Their consoles have given the world some amazing games.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on October 17, 2008, 11:56:23 AM: "good mix" is very subjective, while "diversity" is more wholistic. We're not talking good mix, we're talking diversity, so stay on topic. And when diversity takes hold, the impact of "traditional" genres would lessen relative to the whole, which is the direction others are trying to indicate based on these very few snapshots of sales data in a generation that's still relatively young. We're not going to see maturity until the hardware sales rates are clearly on the decline.

"Exactly what they're doing now seemed perfectly acceptable when it was done on GameCube, but now it's sneered at because it's not "Blue Ocean" or something?"

Well, back on GameCube, that all revolved around Nintendo's unique (3rd place niche market) library of titles; they were the minority of the market. This time around, MicroSony are STILL fueling those same "hardcoor" blockbuster genre sectors (the visible majority of what people think next-gen is; with the exception of RPGs which have miraculously died off) they were riding on LAST TIME. They've brought some amazing games, but at the same time they're killing themselves. (oh wait, why have home console RPGs been dying? i thought they'd jump all over the HD scene! who's to blame!!?)

"On hardware, the Nintendo (NTDOY) Wii sold 687,000 units while the Xbox 360 sold 347,200 units. Sales of the Xbox surged 78% from the previous month after Microsoft instituted a price cut on the console."

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: GoldenPhoenix on October 17, 2008, 01:08:41 PM: Xbox 360 and PS3 are pretty much stuck in the sports, FPS and action game genre. That is pretty much it when you talk about the big games, there are a few exceptions like LBP but beyond that the diversity of software is pretty laughable to be honest. Just look at a Wal-mart game case and you'll see a sea of the same, while many may be good games it fails to invoke a feeling of "Wow look at all those different kinds of games!". I may be going out on a limb but I have a feeling that the drop in overall software sales has quite a bit to do with the 360/PS3 lineup. It gets to be like "Oh what game do I get next", let's see, I have Halo 3, Resistance, Gears of War, Frontlines, CoD4, Dead Space, Orange Box, Dark Sector, Bioshock, FEAR, Prey, Unreal Tournament, Battlefield, and on and on. While many of these games are high quality, talk about overload. It gets quite boring and I cannot imagine what someone new to the scene would think seeing all these "mature" looking boxes scattered all around on games that pretty much follow a similar path, which is shoot lots of things in gritty realistic environments (Yes I know Orange Box isn't quite like that but it still is a shooter).

When they look at the Wii they see a game that will maybe help them lose weight in a fun game, an arcade racer with fun characters from the Mario universe, an adventure game starring everybody's favorite elf, a shooter that has more variety than any of the shooters on 360 that doesn't feel the need to create dark gritty environments, a charming trivia game to pass the time at home, a 3D platformer starring everybody's favorite plumber, a stylistic brawler where you have a FREAKEN LIGHTSABER, or how about a zaney off road racer, perhaps better yet a game where you can relax and explore the ocean to your hearts content.

Basically my point is that the 360/PS3 lineup is mainly made up of shooters when you talk about its big name titles (or games that have lots of shooting) while the Wii's big games include everything from platformers, to adventure games, to fitness games, to casual sports games, to brawlers, to shooters, and various others.

It's not all first-person shooters, but since both of those consoles are very well-suited for FPS (they're very close to PCs, obviously). Just like the Wii is well-suited for party games and parlor games, which I could compile a similar list for.

I am talking about the big games that predominantly shown. Sure you have your Viva Pinata or LBG but out of the big titles, the ones people buy which in turn determine their placement in a gaming case are much of the same.

Post by: NWR_Lindy on October 17, 2008, 02:06:29 PM: Well, of the big games that are predominantly shown for Wii, you have Wii Music and Animal Crossing. That's not exactly Nintendo breaking out of its comfort zone. Just like 360 and PS3 are "stuck" in Sports/FPS/Action, Wii is "stuck" in party games and parlor games.

I mean, when GP looks at the Wii games in Wal-Mart, according to her her first thought is "look at the huge selection". My first thought is "are there any games here that aren't based on a cartoon and aimed at 7-year-olds?" That's our gut reactions, which I think is very interesting.

I think if you dig into the 360/PS3 libraries you could find comparable, quality games in many genres. It's not all first-person shooters, but since both of those consoles are very well-suited for FPS (they're very close to PCs, obviously). Just like the Wii is well-suited for party games and parlor games, which I could compile a similar list for.

I'm not talking about what games might/should be made either. You imply that the reason the ps3 and xbox 360 have so many FPS's is because they're similar to PCs.

My point was that just being similar doesnt mean its a reason why those systems are flooded with FPS's. Maybe i should of pointed out that Wii has a few FPS's under its belt too, as well as the OTHER genres gp's mentioned, hence backing the claim of diversity on the Wii and sticking with GPs argument against yours.

Clearer now?

Now now Silks.. is it really fair to use those two examples? Sure its the current big name titles for the upcoming holiday but you're neglecting the other big name titles, and its obviously because your argument holds no water if you were to say

"Wii's big name titles since launch have included a sword-play filled action/adventure with puzzles thrown in (Zelda), a multiplayer free-for-all fighter (Brawl), a cart racer with online play and tons of items at your disposal (Mario Kart) etc etc."

vs

"PS360 has... (see GPs post listing all those games then add Little Big Planet)"
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_Lindy on October 17, 2008, 03:16:11 PM: There are a lot of first-person shooters on 360 and PS3 because their hardware is extremely similar to PC hardware, so therefore developers can code a game on PC and port it over to 360 and PS3 fairly easily. They can't do that on Wii, since the hardware for that system is very different from current PCs and demands from-the-ground-up development. I'm not saying "Wii can't do first-person shooters" or making any outrageous claim like that. I'm just describing what's out in the marketplace. Clearer now?

And have a look at the games you listed for Wii. They're a platformer (Zelda), a platformer/fighter/party game (Brawl), and a racer/party game (Mario Kart Wii). This is exactly what I'm saying. The Wii is very good for those genres, but not as strong in others. It's an observation, not a slander against the console. Yes, the Wii has other games in other genres, but so do the 360 and PS3.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 17, 2008, 05:29:07 PM: The architecture between the PS3, 360, and PC has nothing to do with putting FPSes on the consoles. The first Cell based computers are just now being used. There are a lot of FPSes on those consoles, because they sell a lot, they're easy to make, and people love to play them online. The PS3 is no more similar to a PC than the Wii is. It has pretty graphics and can run Linux (only distros that are designed to run on it's 8-core Cell processor), and that's about where the basic similarities end.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Nick DiMola on October 17, 2008, 05:34:07 PM: Well the 360/PC architecture is one in the same essentially when coding with XNA. So that argument is definitely true. Porting PS3 is not as easy, however no assets need to be redone as a result of a port to the PS3. With the Wii not only is there a port that needs to be done, but the assets need to be reworked, and the controls retooled, so the effort to get it there is significant.

While not 100% on, Silks' assessment is fairly accurate.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 17, 2008, 05:44:22 PM: I'm strictly talking about the PS3..basically in that post. The similarities between between the 360 and PC are well known, especially when it comes to XNA.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_Lindy on October 17, 2008, 06:40:46 PM: I wasn't talking about architecture, was talking about graphical power. 360/PS3 are roughly equivalent with mid-range PC graphics cards out today, maybe a little better.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on October 17, 2008, 07:00:31 PM: And therefore the PS3/360 libraries are the result of what makes sense from a publisher/productivity standpoint (easy-to-churn hardcore product), and not the standpoint of performing jobs for customers (all potential customers, not just "demografiks"). Higher definition lead to shrinkage, sales charts show.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_Lindy on October 17, 2008, 07:19:35 PM: It didn't have anything to do with HD. It was higher price caused by more expensive components.

The 360 originally had Component output just like the Wii, so the only thing different was the signal it spit out and the fact that it has much more expensive memory and graphics hardware.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: EasyCure on October 17, 2008, 07:59:51 PM: Silks: Ok, you did make your point clearer on why pc to console development brings those fps titles over, and its a good point but you still dont have anything on Wii's game diversity over the other consoles. Just because the few games i listed have mutiplayer doesnt mean you can just lump them into the "party game" category. They're still representitive of the genres i mentioned and just happen to be good multiplayer games as wel.

If anything with multiplayer is a "party game' to you and you'll lump them all together as if its one genre (ie. Racers/fighters/puzzlers/platformers/fps' = party games) for Wii, then the ps3 and 360 are as equally NOT diverse because they consist of tons of online multiplayer games... in which case the wii would still be more diverse because it has a few online multiplayer games, a couple of normal multiplayer games, and plenty of single player only games...

but now thats just mucking things up and making things more confusing then they need to be. I'll just say two more things:

1. lets just agree to disagree about this and call it a day
2. party games = minigame compilations best played socially (RRR), not so much a racer/fighter/fps that has a both single and multiplayer modes with depth.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 18, 2008, 12:15:24 AM: I must have misinterpreted your post, when you said the hardware was "extremely similar to PC hardware, so therefore developers can code a game on PC and port it over to 360 and PS3 fairly easily" (nothing is *easily* ported to PS3, which is why the new standard is to start on PS3 and port from there), anyway, I'm not trying to make an argument, I'm just trying to explain my post. Nowadays the 360's and PS3's GPUs are nothing compared to what is achievable on a PC, but the PS3's processor is pretty effing amazing. Still...I would never want one, unless it was a cheap Blu Ray player.

When did Zelda become a platformer? There isn't even a jump button. Each of those games is incredibly different and you just changed the genre or said multiplayer=party game so you could say there is little variety.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on October 18, 2008, 02:41:29 AM: It's funny that you say the Wii can't get PC ports when there are quite a few (sometimes enhanced) PC ports on WiiWare.

Also how the hell are Wii Music and Animal Crossing the big two games? Only Wii Music is getting any attention out of those two and neither is released. Big titles are stuff like Galaxy, Smash Bros, Wii Fit and of course Wii Sports.

In closing:

"I like to see people here in Japan showing interest in high-definition gaming and more sophisticated gaming experiences," offered Yoshida, in an interview with our sister site Eurogamer.net.

"In terms of realistic-looking graphics and smarter AI, they haven't really shown the appetite for what this generation of gaming can offer. I'd really like to see both PS3 and 360 succeed here."

"What Microsoft is offering and what we are offering are closer, compared to what other platforms are offering. Because of that commonality, the new games coming out on 360 and PS3 help to get consumers more interested in this generation of gaming," he added.

Post by: NWR_Lindy on October 18, 2008, 03:51:22 AM: Nothing I say is going to change anybody's mind's around here, so like EasyCure said I'll agree to disagree with the majority on this one.

But one thing I will say is that Zelda is a platformer. You run around, in dungeons, on platforms. I mean, many of the dungeons literally have platforms. Its only difference from your typical Mario game is the incorporation of RPG elements, and a little less focus on action and more on adventure and puzzle-solving. But it's a platformer alright.

And by "party game", I don't mean that every game on the Wii is Mario Party. I'm really classifying a party game as a game that goes out of its way to get several people in a room to play together at one time. Nintendo takes existing genres and twists them in this direction - Braw (fighter)l, Mario Kart (racer), Wii Sports (sports), etc. The 360 and PS3 are more "solitary gamer'-oriented, focused on getting individuals online and playing with people that way. These are the strengths of each console type in terms of what kind of gaming experience they're designed to encourage.

I thought the definition of a "platformer" was a game where you jump around on platforms and obstacles. Mario is obviously the best example of a plaformer, but Zelda probably also accounts, when you consider Link does do some jumping on platforms in nearly every dungeon he visits...

Is that the case with resident evil or Halo? AFAIK, those games feature no jumping or platforms.

Well I'm sorry Lindy, but this classification is pretty piss weak. I mean fighting games have been multiplayer since Street Fighter II, and I'd assume that could be a "party" to play the game with on other person or a whole group of people waiting for "their turn." Brawl's "party game" cred is what exactly? 4 players? And Mario Kart is somehow a "party racer?" How? And how is this more "party" than other multiplayer racers? It needs to be a measurable quantity and any opinion should have roots in more evidence than just saying "Nintendo made this and they're PARTY GAMES ONLY!!!111one1" and working backwards from that.

That's how the genre got its name, but I don't think just any game that has jumping and platforms should be labeled a platformer, just like not every game that has characters gain levels and increase stats is an RPG. Like such a game would be said to have RPG elements I would say that Zelda has platforming elements (though I'm not even sure I'd go that far because, as was pointed out, Zelda has no jump button (except Zelda 2 and a couple of the handheld ones)). I narrow the definition of platformers even further myself, but I think that's good enough for a general definition.

DAaaMan64 had to be a jerk and use the term "platformer elements" before I finished typing this.

But what is that exactly? I mean I see no difference in Virtua Fighter 5 or Tekken 6 or SSBB. they're all pretty much fighting games, some more important and higher selling than others. Mario Kart is a diferent game design because of weapons and maybe the atmosphere of Mario, but mainly, it's still a racing game like Forza and Gran Turismo.

Well it's hard not te get that impression, but let me tell you what I would like to know.

The logic is as thus:

1. X makes a party game.
2. Mario Kart has X
3. SSBB has X
4. Therefore, Mario Kart and SSBB are party games.
5. Mario Kart and SSBB are party games.
6. Nintendo makes these games
7. Therefore, Nintendo makes party games.

The problem here is you start at 7 and go backwards. I want to know what X is, specifically. How does it "go out of its way" to get several people in the room, other than just being really popular?

Post by: NWR_Lindy on October 20, 2008, 11:46:33 AM: The first "X" would be the local four-player support. SSBB has its four-player brawl mode, Mario Kart Wii has four-player splitscreen, Mario Party has what, eight players? This is what gives these games the "party game" atmosphere I'm talking about. Note that I'm not saying these ARE party games, but the fact that 4-player is a key aspect of their design means that they encourage getting a group of people together in one room and having at it.

You can't say that about VF5, Tekken, Gran Turismo, or Forza. Yes, you can get several people together in a room and play those games (like you can with ANY game), but their design doesn't encourage it.

The second "X" would be the "arcade" feel. Brawl and Mario Kart Wii aren't trying to be realistic reproductions of the action they're presenting, while VF5 and Gran Turismo especially are, as well as Tekken and Forza. While they have fantastical elements, they don't allow you to run around bonking people with a Donkey Kong hammer or throw turtle shells at people. They're intentionally trying to be silly.

Games like Tekken and VF 5 are actually made for groups of people competing and were originally ARCADE games. You don't mean arcade feel in the slightest, these kinds of racers and fighting games are stereotypical arcade games.

Do you put Halo under the party game umbrella? Four players and the first one didn't even have online. Mutlitplayer games have been around for a long time. People have lan parties with games, but that doesn't make it a party game.

You call them party games (or "party game atmosphere") for one of two reasons 1. They are easily accessible to a newcomer (The freaking Nintendo philosophy) or 2. They are cartoony (aka they are not realistic).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: EasyCure on October 20, 2008, 02:29:30 PM: Or (like i said before..)

3. A game specifically made to be multiplayer oriented and/or leans more toward a social gameplay experience vs a single player experience.

A perfect example of this is Mario Party (has party in the freakin title), a game that is much better played with friends rather than you vs the CPU players.

Now it doesnt have to be a mini game compilation to be a party game, but those are usually what comes to mind. Yes, wii does have alot of these types of games (see: party games) BUT it still has plenty of different genres as to not overwhelm the platform one way or another.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Deguello on October 21, 2008, 04:41:55 PM: I still don't know if I'm satisfied.

4-player games have actually been around for a long time, and like SixthAngel says, several... I suppose the term would be "non-party" games... like Halo and such have them.

A lack of realism also can't work because of games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero, 2 games almost always referred to as "party games" and they are all about realistically portraying rock 'n' roll.

I mean I agree, SSBB and Mario Kart are always busted out AT parties, but that doesn't necessarily make them "party games," particularly with their new online modes.

I dunno if aesthetics is a good reason because, like I said, Rock Band and such, nor accessibility because there are very simple single player games out there as well as complex multiplayer games (like, say, Starcraft.) I'm just not understanding why Mario KArt and SSBB are labeled "party" games.

This is correct. During December, videogame sales in Japan just explode and everything sells like crazy. All the other Wii (insert name) games came out during the December rush where sales are traditionally higher, while Wii Music is out right now, when the sales in Japan are traditionally much lower.

Hmmm....

Well, earlier this year Nintendo was manufacturing 1.6 million Wiis a month worldwide, and I'm not sure when they upped that to 2.4 million and how gradual that was. If, like they say, they are at 2.4 million monthly worldwide now, that could be pretty awesome...

Huh? I stopped taking Molyneaux seriously after Black & White, according to some employees he has a tendency to spontaneously make features up during interviews and act like they're already done and in the game, later they get cut for being pointless or just never implemented at all.

The game is GOOD just plagued with game stopping glitches like the black screen of death where the game keeps freezing on a loading screen, if you skip a specific conversation a monk won't move which is needed to initiate a important mission and so forth. The main issue with these is that there is only 1 save slot. Just click here to see how many people are having issues with it (http://community.lionhead.com/forums/81/ShowForum.aspx).

My other main gripes with fable 2 is spell switching, and the whole borderline unfriendly user interface that's context sensitive and finally how sometimes how the dog leads you in the wrong direction while your looking for the treasure or the dig spot that he's found.

My mainpoint is that fable 2 and a lot of other key releases on retail, XBLA had horrible glitches and issues that Microsoft QA should of found and make the developer fix it. It just show's how Microsoft's QA is abysmal.

Well my limited edition of fable 2 had the bonus disc off it's spindle but people had issues of having either: game disc, bonus disc, Limited Edition code card missing. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones that had everything. I think this is the last time I genuinely trust Lionhead.

I guess MS just puts the barrier very low so third parties are happy... The problem is they tend to be happy about having to do less work. Hell, MS doesn't even care that the text in a game causes eye strain or is impossible to read.

This will happen to some extent, but I do believe that the HD systems (PC-PS2-360) are still very viable as a separate userbase if the companies involved can exploit that audience. I definitely don't believe we'll see a repeat of PlayStation2 style market consolidation.

It's funny that third parties suddenly care what's "viable" when last generation they mostly cut support for consoles once they discovered that weren't selling well (GC, Xbox never got much in the way of exclusives.) But anyway, you're already seeing this happen in Japan. PS3 game announcements are drying up, and 360 games do very poorly there and most from Japan do poorly here, too. Third parties have reached the point where developing for the HD consoles doesn't outweigh the potential of a hit Wii game in their repertoire, and the highest selling Wii games, aside from Wii Play, are the games with the most effort put into them. So those resources are needed to please the much larger Wii market, and cannot be solely allocated to two consoles that will constitute less than half the total market. The habit of giving the 360 and PS3 more resources simply because they require more will be over.

I mean think about it. Say you're Capcom, and you just got a telegram from the future. The Wii is the #1 console in every market, by a large margin. Would you then focus on making 2 or 3 360/PS3 games when you could make 6 or 7 Wii games with equivalent effort (both into game quality and manpower) and time? Resident Evil 5 is just hogging all the developers and resources, your profits are falling and the most exciting thing you've made in 3 years is a 2-D game with NES graphics that sold the best on Wii. Would you sincerely think more 360 games is the answer?

Say you are Konami. You put all your eggs into this one Metal Gear Basket, it comes out, and sells less than the previous game and fails to excite the PS3 consumers much. The game cost SIGNIFICANTLY more than the previous, which was a PS2 game of all things. Would you then greenlight another gigantic, expensive, PS3 exclusive, especially if you couldn't use the fading brand of Metal Gear again so soon?

Say you are Square Enix. Your biggest game that you've announced is Final Fantasy 13, a game with a release date at some day at some point in the future, sometime. Your actual biggest game this gen, based on unit sales is Dragon Quest Swords, a game that sold 710,000 worldwide and was even developed FOR you by a Nintendo second party. Everything else is a flop because Japan doesn't buy 360's and American 360 owners don't buy RPGs from non-American companies. You are funding your albatross of a Main Series Final Fantasy game with DS sales that you've even had to jack up $10 over the standard. If you knew then what you know now, would you have seriously put Final Fantasy 13 on the last place, loser console this generation when you could have put it on the market leader and actually have released it by now?

These questions are being asked every single day at these companies, and if they aren't, then they deserve to get replaced by the rising third parties like Marvelous that see the Wii as an opportunity rather than a dumping ground to scrape funding for unsustainable products, no matter what magazine scores they get.

EDIT: Lindy, that guy's opinion kinda sucks, because he's using the tired meme of "The Wii will stop selling at some point," and "Wii's days are numbered." Which is the sort of thing Gamefaqs GC fanboy said of the PS2 in 2002. And the sales totally refute this but if that's what the Bethesda guy wants to believe, he can.

If you knew then what you know now, would you have seriously put Final Fantasy 13 on the last place, loser console this generation when you could have put it on the market leader and actually have released it by now?

Between two consoles with too few users and too high costs and a console with users who don't want lengthy, low-challenge games, would FF13 really be a good idea on any of them?

Too many think "we've got this great game idea, which console will we make it for" and then accept compromises. First think of a customer, THEN you can decide on the requirements!

Post by: NWR_Lindy on November 06, 2008, 01:48:02 PM: I think Bethesda's stance makes sense for their company in particular. I think most of the people that buy their epic-scale RPGs already do so on PC/360/PS3, and since they're a small company they can typically only focus on/fund one project at a time. On top of that, they seem very risk-averse (viewing Wii development as a risk, since they probably aren't sure what kind of Wii game they could make that would actually sell) and are content to make money with their built-in audience. I can't fault them for that, since Fallout 3 is moving a lot of units and they're obviously making money.

I just think it's interesting that many developers seem to view Wii as a risk rather than an opportunity. It seems that they look at that big userbase and instead of saying "Wow there's a lot of people out there that could buy my game", they say "Wow, there's a lot of people out there that won't buy my game". Rockstar is the same way. I never thought I'd see the day when the Nintendo DS would be the developer Nintendo system of choice for adult-themed games (e.g. Chinatown Wars).

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on November 06, 2008, 02:23:40 PM: There's no denying that one can come up with a very logical argument for third parties to support the Wii. Hell, it's EASY to make that argument. Wii has the largest marketshare. Done. That's the best argument. That's the reason to support it.

You know when Nintendo was acting like the Wii was not in competition with the other consoles? It's like the third parties BELIEVE that. They seem to regard the Wii as the casual non-gamer console and the other two as the traditional gamer consoles and think if they make a, you know, good game with depth and stuff on the Wii it won't sell. Is it the hardware difference? Is is the controller? It's like before all anyone cared about was money and then Nintendo releases the ultimate money maker and all these third parties get all artistic. Can't compromise my artistic vision with the Wii's last gen hardware and waggle controller even though like three years ago I even ported my games to the N-Gage.

When Nintendo said they weren't competing with Sony and MS it was a "cover our ass" comment. Companies spout that crap all the time. Nintendo said the DS a third pillar to not discourage GBA sales and to preserve the Game Boy name if the DS bombed. They said the Wii wasn't competing to save face if they got creamed.

I really hope once they hit 50% third party support comes with it but it makes no sense why it's taken this long. They honestly must really think the Wii userbase is nothing but grandmas. I suppose it would be nice if Nintendo didn't see fit to emphasize those stats each time. Just once let us know how many 13-35 year old males own a Wii.

Post by: KDR_11k on November 06, 2008, 04:13:34 PM: The Wii is not in competition with the other consoles, it made the other consoles irrelevant to most of the market (well, actually they were irrelevant from the start and the Wii made those markets a part of gaming). Many people simply don't even consider other consoles an option with their craptons of buttons that are all needed to play the game (seriously, how many buttons does a run and gun shooter need?). It's simply a part of the business strategy. But I think we've told you that often enough and you still don't get it so I guess explaining it again is pointless.

Should reach 50% by the end of the year. Then hopefully third parties realize that the Wii is, in fact, the market leader and will adjust accordingly.

This will happen to some extent, but I do believe that the HD systems (PC-PS2-360) are still very viable as a separate userbase if the companies involved can exploit that audience. I definitely don't believe we'll see a repeat of PlayStation2 style market consolidation.

It's funny that third parties suddenly care what's "viable" when last generation they mostly cut support for consoles once they discovered that weren't selling well (GC, Xbox never got much in the way of exclusives.) But anyway, you're already seeing this happen in Japan. PS3 game announcements are drying up, and 360 games do very poorly there and most from Japan do poorly here, too. Third parties have reached the point where developing for the HD consoles doesn't outweigh the potential of a hit Wii game in their repertoire, and the highest selling Wii games, aside from Wii Play, are the games with the most effort put into them. So those resources are needed to please the much larger Wii market, and cannot be solely allocated to two consoles that will constitute less than half the total market. The habit of giving the 360 and PS3 more resources simply because they require more will be over.

I hope that what you say is true, and that other markets follow Japan's lead. However, I really don't know if American companies, at least the large ones, will willingly follow suit. I can't help but fear that the animosity to the Wii you can find in some places will prevail, and I can't help but worry that the American penchant for "bigger, better, more explosions" will have a deathgrip on large swaths of the community. Europe I have far more faith in to fall under the Wii's sway, but America's impressive and relentless technological drive may put it on a path that doesn't always intersect with the Wii.

Actually, while I do count 50% marketshare as a meaningful milestone, I don't think that 30-40 million HD consoles, portrayed as a single platform due to the growing capabilities of engines and middleware, on which one can easily find a wide range of examples of 3-5 million unit sellers, is something to ignore. This is far from irrelevant, and I think will remain a significant alternative to the Wii majority, many magnitudes more than the alternative the N64 offered to the PSX.

This is pretty much it. Even though a lot of third parties are losing their shirts because of high PS3/360 development cost, their solution is to just keep throwing more money into the hole.

This gen is pretty much becoming the Darwin's Theory of the videogame industry. Companies will have to evolve in order to survive while the ones that refuse to change will go extinct.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_Lindy on November 07, 2008, 11:45:21 AM: When developers look at the Wii, they look at what games are driving Wii sales. It's stuff like Wii Fit, Wii Sports, Guitar Hero, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, and Super Mario Galaxy. Those are all established game genres on the Wii, so if you make a game in the same vein as any of those you're pretty much assured that you'll have an audience that's willing to give your game a shot.

If I was a developer of, say, a first-person shooter or an epic RPG (a la Bethesda), I'd look at the Wii and see it as a pretty risky proposition. That's because there's no real history of those genres on Wii (at least nothing notable), meaning that there's no built-in audience for a game of that type. And, as a third-party, is it my responsibility to cultivate that audience? Heck no. I want to act in the best interests of my company, which is to not expose it to putting a game out there on the market that has a legitimate chance of bombing.

Now - as the same first-person shooter or epic RPG developer - when I look at the 360/PS3, there are several very successful epic RPGs and first-person shooters, so I know - know, not suppose, or surmise, or hope - that there is an audience for that type of game on those platforms. There's a lot less risk involved, because again, it's very likely that there's an audience out there that's willing to give my game a shot. It's likely that I will see some return on my investment.

I think this line of thinking is why you see some developers shying away from Wii. It doesn't help that Nintendo itself isn't pushing anything on the console beyond its own existing franchises and Blueoceanware (it's not like they're announcing a new Golden Sun or a cool new first-person shooter; third-parties are their own if they want to go after that audience, and that audience is already on 360/PS3).

Even beyond the first-person shooter and epic RPG genres that I use as examples, are developers that must think it's pointless to go up against Nintendo games head-to-head. I can see a developer saying, "I want to make a kart racer, but why on earth would I want to go head-to-head against Mario Kart Wii? There's no way I'm going to out-Mario Kart Mario Kart."

In Japan TOS on Wii did 167,000 in the first two weeks which isn't bad at all. Dragon Quest Swords did more than half a million in Japan as well.

So RPGs will have no real problems on the Wii and FPS games can be popular as well if more developers would be more dedicated in making them. Metroid Prime 3 and Medal of Honor Heroes 2 show that the results can be excellent. I suppose it will be interesting how Call Of Duty WaW and Conduit shape up. I have a feeling Conduit, HoD, and MadWorld will be heavily pushed by Sega.

Third parties that support irrelevant portions of the market are irrelevant until further notice.

I really hate this sort of attitude and it's a complete flip-flop of the typical attitude of a Nintendo fan from only a few years ago.

With Nintendo fans it used to be more about the artistic merits of gaming. The Cube was selling like crap and Nintendo was completely out-of-touch with mainstream gaming but we didn't care. Well we wanted better third party support and wanted Nintendo to be financially successful enough to stay in business and continue making games. And maybe we wanted Nintendo to be more popular just because, well, you want stuff that's good to get recognition. But the important thing was that Nintendo made good games. No one wanted them to compromise their quality for financial success.

But now so many people on this forum have the opposite approach. It's all about mainstream success. It's all about money. It's all about the blue ocean market share which NONE OF US are actually a part of. Sony and MS are bad because they don't sell as many consoles as Nintendo, not because of anything to do with the the quality of their consoles or games. And any developer that supports the lower selling consoles is irrelevent. Games that sell are good, games that don't are crap.

What the hell attitude is this? Did everyone invest in Nintendo? Remember when EA would make money hand over fist with SH!T? No one here praised them for it. It didn't matter how many millions of games they sold they made sh!t so they were sh!t. And Nintendo couldn't give Gamecubes away but they made great games so they were awesome. A developer's relevence is based on the quality of the games they make. Not the popularity, not the sales figures. If the game's awesome, it's relevent. Or at least that's how any true gamer should see it. We play games, not sales figures.

Maybe third parties just don't like Nintendo's mainstream pandering sell-out attitude. Doesn't make sense from a business point of view but it does from an artistic one.

Like I said, developers and publishers don't want to incur risk. For example, developing a first-person shooter on Wii could be viewed as a risky move because 1) people aren't buying the console for first-person shooters in the first place, and 2) there isn't a proven market for first-person shooters on the console to begin with.

I'm not saying that developers ignoring certain genres on Wii doesn't annoy me. I'm just saying that I can understand, on several levels, why they're doing it.

Also, Madden 09 wasn't crap at all. It got lots of 8's and 9's (it scored 82 on Metacritic, which is better than de Blob), and yet it still didn't sell. Numbers like these aren't encouraging for third-parties, especially when it's for a game like Madden that has a massive built-in audience and shouldn't even really need marketing at this point.

Then why was Red Steel a million seller? Metroid sold well (well it's not a FPS but a FPA), Medal of Honor Heroes 2 got plenty of praise. Just that developers didn't put effort in their games and/or just ignored the genre on the Wii and moved on to casual shovelware games.

Easy answer is that they don't want to take the risk. I think the biggest 3rd party risk taker on Wii is SEGA. They are releasing games that you are claiming that aren't viable on the Wii according to trends.

You should know that Madden doesn't traditionally sell well on Wii and DS when you compare it to Sony and Microsoft platforms. EA will always release sports games on the Wii because they are trying to get profits from as many platforms as possibly. If 3rd parties aren't encouraged by sale numbers then why do companies still make a lot of games for the Wii and DS? The obvious answer is that they can make money as they could on any other platform.

I can see a developer saying, "I want to make a kart racer, but why on earth would I want to go head-to-head against Mario Kart Wii? There's no way I'm going to out-Mario Kart Mario Kart.

They seem perfectly content to release tons of FPS on 360 that compete with Halo 3.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_Lindy on November 07, 2008, 04:04:50 PM: Maybe they thought that Red Steel was a fluke, and sold mainly because it was a launch title and there was nothing else out there. Maybe they thought that Metroid Prime 3 actually underperformed when compared to the popularity of its license. And maybe they thought that Medal of Honor only sold because it's the only FPS out there for Wii that has a recognizable brand attached to it. All of these things may not mean anything to you, but to somebody putting hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars down on a project, they might think about this stuff.

And I'm not saying these genres aren't viable on Wii. That's twisting my words. I'm saying that I can see, based on the evidence in front of them, why certain publishers/developers ignore certain genres on the Wii platform.

As for Madden, there's no reason why it shouldn't do Sony and Microsoft numbers on Wii. This "traditionally" stuff is bunk. The Wii has a massive userbase, right? Then why isn't a title as universally recognizable as Madden selling gangbusters on Wii? It defies logic. Maybe it says something about the audience on Wii, which is what developers and publishers look at, and that's what I've been saying all along.

Yes, companies bring out first-person shooters that compete with Halo 3, but I'm willing to bet that Microsoft also gives them marketing dollars as well.

wrong. marketing is what killed madden 09 on wii.
Almost all sales on wii are a result of marketing. It's a self fulfilling prophecy. They don't market the game. It doesn't sell. They say all wii games aren't selling. They sometimes put less effort into the game making it not as good and then it doesn't sell and so they don't make anymore wii games. It's pretty obvious. When's the last time you saw a commercial for a third party wii game? Boom Blocks?
Marketing is the absolute key to everything in the gaming industry. Marketing first, quality second. The way people find out about wii games is by looking at store shelves. They're not pointed in one direction. That's why game sales are spread out. Wii and DS sell more games than anyone, but you don't see many of them in the top ten because they'll sell five thousand copies of two hundred different games.
The way you find out what's good on xbox360 and PS3 is by watching tv, reading magazines, reading comics, listening to the mainstream gaming podcasts, reading their sites. Why do Wii Fit and guitar hero crank out sales? They're on tv all the time. Not just commercials but GMA and the daily show and on sitcoms. You can find them in commercials for other products. Madden is all over the sports world. Watch ESPN and they talk about it all the time. They use it in their shows. That's extra commercial time that sam and max is just not going to get. and I don't see lucas arts pushing it either. and it's not going to sell.

Yet we still directly benefit from it. It brought us the Wii. I have a Wii. You have one too, so what's your excuse?

What do you mean it brought us the Wii? Core gamers giving Nintendo business for 20 years brought us the Wii. Like Nintendo wasn't going to release another console anyway. I bought a Wii because Metroid Prime 3 and Super Mario Galaxy are must own titles for me. For me I don't directly benefit from the blue ocean market group. All that ever mattered to me was third party support. The third party support is no better than the Cube's so Nintendo's success with the Wii has had no positive effect from my perspective. If anything the blue ocean group has done the opposite as Nintendo's focus is no longer 100% on my demographic. I don't consider "no good games for Christmas 2008" as a benefit.

But my point is that none of us are in the blue ocean group. If we were we wouldn't be on a Nintendo fansite forum talking about videogames. Therefore Nintendo success with said group should not matter to us at all aside from how Nintendo's financial situation affects us and affects the quality of games they release. This isn't like some greater good thing after all. It's a company that wants our money so our attitude towards them should be somewhat self-serving in nature.

So when Nintendo has a really lame ass E3 and I complain I don't consider blue ocean related excuses as appropriate. What do I care? I want Nintendo to focus on my demographic. A good third party is refusing to adapt to the blue ocean market by releasing good games on the PS3 and is losing money? That's not good. That's gaming losing a talented developer. We should want them to succeed and hopefully support the Nintendo console we own and continue to make quality games without compromising them based on market trends.

All gamers should want their console of choice to be supported by quality developers and for those developers to be successful releasing quality games so that they are encouraged to release quality games in the future.

Exactly my point. The added the "All Play" crap and based all of the marketing around that - I didn't even know it had almost all of the other modes in it until after I read a few reviews. If they said, this is the exact same Madden as the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, only it has these other modes for kids that suck at football games, and your grandmother, then it would have sold like hotcakes, instead, it sold like a 3rd party bullshit "my first game system" game.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on November 08, 2008, 02:08:39 AM: 1. There is a market for first person shooters on the Wii, it just needs MORE GAMES.
2. The approach "I'm making this genre, where will it sell?" is wrong, it should be "I'm going for this console, what sells there?". Or more generally, instead of "I'm making a product, who will be the customer for it?" it should be "There's this customer I want to reach, what can I sell him?".
3. Review scores are the suitability towards the internet audience, not the Wii audience. Nintendo's biggest Wii sellers didn't receive very good reviews.

I can't help but fear that the animosity to the Wii you can find in some places will prevail, and I can't help but worry that the American penchant for "bigger, better, more explosions" will have a deathgrip on large swaths of the community.

The ones demanding that are just the whiners on the internets, there are large numbers of people who don't want that in every market. Also the biggest, best and most explosive games are the EDF series :P

And maybe they thought that Medal of Honor only sold because it's the only FPS out there for Wii that has a recognizable brand attached to it.

To me that sounds like an opportunity for anyone with a recognizable brand at hand.

BTW, Lucas is no longer in charge of Sam & Max, they cancelled the second game years ago, claiming there's no market for games like that and that they need to churn out more cookie-cutter Star Wars games. The recent Sam & Max games are made by Telltale, the one developer that actually manages to handle episodic gaming.

Post by: MaleficentOgre on November 08, 2008, 07:48:04 AM: no no no no. Madden on wii didn't exist. All Play didn't kill it. Not knowing it existed killed it. If you're not looking for madden and you go to best buy to pick up a wii game and don't know what you want you may completely miss Madden. Seriously. I've seen it happen. But if you're on tv and you see madden that has all play tacked all over it with the wii box on the commercial you'll know what's up and what to look for.
Remember, people aren't like you guys. You are a small small minority of gamers. The dreaded casuals aren't slouching around the internet following previews and first looks and reviews on random small websites like Planet gamecube. No disrespect.
And fringe fans that pick up podcasts and such don't ever hear anything positive about the wii or wii games. Other games get nothing but free press all over the gaming industry. Wii games, not so much. Not ever really. IGN tried with de blob, but that didn't go far.

also, whoever is publishing this taletale sam and max isn't marketing it either. I had no idea it was coming out soon. Way to sell your game guys. How the hell am I suppose to buy your game if I don't know it's coming out. Tell me please. I want to know. It's no secret why some games sell millions and other games don't. I promise you if you put sam and max all over tv people will buy it. Instead you'll hear in a few months how wii isn't a good platform for two year old point and click adventure games cause it sold 30,000 copies total.

The problem with All Play is they made the Wii version the "sub" game rather than just Tiger Woods or Madden. It sounds inferior.They should have called the 360 and PS3 versions "all-pay" instead and given Wii the proper franchise evolution. It's like they are ashamed of Wii.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread

The people who own Madden 07 knew 09 would be here in August, the people who had 08 knew it was coming, and then they pull this "let's just add easier controls - people aren't refusing to buy it because it's ****, it's because it's too hard" bullshit, and finally the previous Madden purchasers either ignored it, or bought the real version for Xbox 360 or PS3. If you had a Wii and another system, and haven't decided which system to get Madden 09 on, then see the box with Bret Favre getting tickled by some dude (cropped out of the photo) and look at the back and see some bobbleheads throwing a giant football in a toy store (maybe not the exact situation, but you get the idea), and then "ALL PLAY" written all over the box, you're *probably* going to put that box back down and get the real game.

So, Wal*Mart, advertises the midnight sale, so they can sell you a bunch more **** at the same time. (Need extra controllers? Hungry from the line? Need something to keep you up? Got it ALL.) EA doesn't really give a **** if you buy it launch day because they still make the same money, the only real benefit they gain is from retailers trying to maintain instocks and NPD saying the **** sold out first week.

If he's just saying that calling it All Play is crap, I agree, but the game itself is great.

I also think it's stupid as well that EA made a specialized boxart for the Wii versions where the athletes had a happy demeanor instead of the "action shot" boxart.

And this quote is an article from Eurogamer where Peter Moore is describing the reasoning behind the All Play label and the EA Sports Freestyle "casual" brand.
Quote
"As we look at the make-up of the new consumer coming in, it's very important to us at EA Sports that we have the ability to have something for them that really allows them to pick up and play and have fun immediately, while at the same time not forgetting our core consumer," Moore observed.

"Our games can be too hard sometimes. And while we have no intention whatsoever in dumbing down the experience we all love and that is driving a multi-billion dollar business for us here at EA Sports, we still have an issue here of approachability."

As a result of this thinking, EA is launching the new All Play range later this year. The first batch of games will be Wii-specific versions of FIFA, Tiger Woods, NBA, Madden and NCAA. In Madden, you'll be able to use Mii characters and direct your team's movements by 'drawing' paths with the Wii remote.

"We're still an intimidating entertainment experience and we have to break down the barriers," Moore stated. “The idea of accessibility - when you've got the controller in your hand, it doesn't look like a foreign object of buttons and d-pads and sticks and triggers, and allows people to get in and instantly have fun."

He also unveiled new EA Sports brand Freestyle. Again it'll have a casual focus, but will cover "IP that isn't normally what you'd see from us, that isn't fully licensed, that isn't a full, authentic simulation of the game experience itself".

Like Facebreaker, for example - the cartoon-style boxing title set to be released under the Freestyle brand later this year.

"We want to present a different persona for some of our games - looking at this new consumer, bringing in more pick-up-and-play, more inclusive, more social games," Moore continued.

The All-Play stuff is a perfect example of EA not even having a clue as to how to market to the Wii audience. Like I've said before, they would have been much smarter making a Wii-exclusive NFL Blitz-style Madden game under the EA BIG brand. That way they could 1) make even more money off of the NFL license, 2) distinctly market Madden to hardcore football fans that have a Wii, and 3) properly mask their contempt for the Wii audience.

It's like they tried to make Madden Wii appeal to everyone, but instead made it appeal to no-one.

If they do they better include a controller. Wii Play's sales figures are kind of hard to take at face value when it's more of a "buy a controller and get a free tech demo" deal. Brilliant move by Nintendo though.

It's kind of like when Super Mario Bros is referred to as the "best selling game ever!" Um, it came with the NES. Everyone "bought" it, you didn't really have a choice not to. Wii Sports might end up beating it someday but will that be a true accomplishment? Not really. Accomplishment as a console but not as a game.

And if anyone thinks the Wii console sales vs. Wii games sales doesn't really match up keep in mind that the Wii comes with a game so probably a lot of people aren't going to buy a game with their purchase. They might wait a few months and that would throw the sales figures out of whack. With the other consoles a console sale and some sort of game sale are likely going to be hand-in-hand.

However if they do get through this the first part of next year looks amazing and everything will be alright.

Well Mario you and a lot of people on this board have to remember that Nintendo shipped out a bunch of their core titles and big guns earlier this year and we got Metroid,Fire Emblem, Galaxy, Mario Kart, Brawl, Battalion all within 18 months(yes i know some of those are 07 games but im using them for arguments sake). So no one should be surprised that in the fall Nintendo didn't pump out a lot of titles in the fall because they already shipped their big guns earlier this year.

Well if you haven't played it it's new to you. For me this Christmas is a barren wastleland. But I own almost Wii game I want to own. So new stuff is very important. But if I just bought a Wii brand new right now I would have a good amount of games to play, at least for a few months.

Still any significant lull in the release schedule isn't so good. What does Nintendo have in store for a few months from now when all the new Wii owners want something new to play?

Nintendo should be more concerned about the existing Wii userbase who might be turned off by the slim picking this Christmas. But they might not care because the blue ocean market likely doesn't buy games throughout the year like we do so something like SSB might be new to them. Nintendo has really targetted a market that requires minimal effort to please. As much as I feel they don't deserve it, they'll probably be fine.

Yes, they will. The people buying Wiis now don't care about anything but Wii Fit, Wii Sports, Wii Play, and Mario Kart Wii. The charts prove that.

Nintendo typically leaves third-parties to bat clean-up (see the DS), but since third-parties don't really care about Wii right now, you have the Christmas drought that you're looking at right now.

More like Nintendo gives them the stage and they run out naked. No Wonder Nintendo's game's sell the most... out of any console. Nintendo doesn't half-ass Mario Kart, or Wii Fit, or Wii Sports. The third parties' DS failures are their own fault. Just like their Wii failures. This used to be the way it works until Nintendo is somehow responsible for third parties making garbage games... somehow. Third party game made up 20% of games sold on the DS in 2004-2005. Because Nintendo made awesome and third parties made garbage. Same Deal with Wii. Nintendo Makes Mario Kart and Smash Bros. Awesome. Profit. Third parties make garbage. They suck and fail. It's not hard.

And Wii owners ALSO care about Smash Bros. Brawl too. That game has sold as much in almost one year what Smash Bros. Melee sold in five. And sold more than the "only game Wii owners care about" Mario Kart. Wii owners... buying hardcore games. Who'da thunk?

It's not that Nintendo games are selling well on a Nintendo console, it's that they're selling better than ever before.

So either all these new gamers have instantly been converted into Nintendo fanboys (fangrannies lololololol), or people are buying these games because they're good and there's a lot of positive word of mouth.

Well when most of the best games on the system are made by Nintendo, that's why. It's the same reason why Nintendo games sold the best on the N64 and Gamecube as well as the DS.

The only time a third party released a major quality title with mass market appeal on a Nintendo console that rivaled Nintendo's best in the last 10 years was Capcom with Resident Evil 4 and guess what, it was the best selling Gamecube game in 2005. Not to mention the port of it for the Wii has sold around 1.4 million copies which is the same as the 360 version of Dead Rising and just 100,000 less then Lost Planet.

The funny thing is though both Dead Rising and Lost Planet got huge advertising campaigns while Resident Evil 4 Wii didn't. And yet, just as many people bought RE4 Wii on the Wii, as 360 owner bought DR and LP.

If more third party released games of RE4's quality and they'd bother to market them, they'd be rewarded with sales just as good, if not better.

However, RE4 was also discounted, which in itself probably acted to market the game toward people browsing the game racks.

Speaking of, though... does anyone know how RE: Umbrella Chronicles did?

RE4 should have put up big numbers, since it's virtually unique on the GameCube platform. It was a hugely-anticipated title, in an extremely popular series, from a top-quality third-party developer, built from the ground up for the GameCube, and even exclusive for a while. Can anybody name one other game that matches that criteria on GameCube? Probably not. I think RE4 is an exception in terms of sales, not the rule. What I mean by that is that there was vitually no way it could fail in the marketplace, given the circumstances of its release. It's like putting Dragon Quest IX on PSP, watching it sell a gazillion copies, and then turning around and saying, "See? PSP games sell!"

Well, third parties claim games don't sell on Nintendo systems if they're not by Nintendo. The problem is that they're comparing their B-grade efforts to Nintendo games that are hugely popular, in an extremely popular series, built from the ground for the system they're on and completely exclusive. RE4 is simply equal to Nintendo's games in these respects and yes it does sell. Of course RE4 was bound to sell but third parties claimed Nintendo consoles behave differently. RE4 proves that they don't.

Do REmake and RE0 count? ;)

You're right though. It's the Final Fantasy VII effect. The Playstation was selling all right and all and attracting good third party support but Square jumping from Nintendo to Sony was still seen as a huge deal. And for good reason. Final Fantasy VII was such a huge game that whatever console it was on it was going to be a hit. It's what a system seller is.

You look at Metal Gear Solid 4 and think "well why the hell are they releasing that as a PS3 exclusive when that's the last place console?" Because it's Metal Gear Solid 4. You don't buy it because you have a PS3, you consider buying a PS3 to play Metal Gear Solid 4.

This is why when people point to this and that as proof the Wii has decent third party support I'm not convinced. We aren't getting those "this will be huge no matter what console we design it for" games. I got Zach & Wiki a few months ago in a bargain bin. That's a good game. And it's third party and it's by Capcom. Good job, Capcom. BUT virtually no one would consider buying a Wii because that game is on it. It's not that sort of game, even though it's good and worth having in the Wii library. Capcom however does make those sorts of games but they aren't releasing them on the Wii. Thus we're not Capcom's focus. Capcom's best output is going to the Xbox 360. Thus Microsoft has Capcom's true support. Healthy third party support should mean being the focus of the third parties that matter and getting almost all of their big titles. I can't think of ANY third party who is giving that kind of support to the Wii.

Wii is keeping pace with the PS2, despite the PS2 already having had major third party support in spades after two years, Like Final Fantasy and MGS 2. It's amazing that they can't see something that's so painfully obvious, even after they got on board the DS after the exact same thing happened.

I assume this would be the reason the DSi exists. Shame Nintendo doesn't realize that the PSP outselling the DS in one year doesn't matter when the DS total sales figures are so high. Having sold so many systems that there's virtually no one left that doesn't have one is a GOOD THING.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on November 28, 2008, 01:51:39 PM: Why's that a shame? Should they just say "sales dropped off, let's sit back and enjoy the lower profits"? They made the DSi to get more people to buy a DS. A market is never "saturated", you just hit the point where you run out of people willing to buy your product. The solution is to change the product to make more people willing to buy it.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on November 28, 2008, 02:44:03 PM: It's a shame because Nintendo risks splitting the DS userbase and likely pissing people off with a half-step when the next true new portable is probably going to appear pretty soon. The purpose of making a videogame system is more to sell games than systems. Having everyone owning a DS is a GREAT thing because the potential userbase for each game is huge, and Nintendo makes a cut from every DS game. Nintendo is acting like this is a big problem they need to fix. This is the GOAL. They succeeded. If they have such a bug up their butt about hardware sales then they should make the next Nintendo portable.

The big picture is GAMES and Nintendo is missing that.

But I'm totally dragging this thread off topic. Sorry about that. Let's talk about the Wii. ;)
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Arbok on November 28, 2008, 02:53:13 PM: Nintendo isn't like other companies, though, in that they actually see the green when they sell their hardware. It's because of this that the company shouldn't get complacent and just be happy with a large userbase... as they can still generate a ton of profits from retooling and selling additional system/handhelds.

Hmmm I think that the Wii will have the same amount as the PS2 in Japan at the end of its lifecycle.How much exactly has the Wii sold in the past year in Japan?
I think that the Monster Hunter series has kept the PSP afloat games wise.I don't think much else made a big of a splash as those games.

So in Japan from LTD is(according to Media Create):
Wii: 7,014,754
PS3: 2,420,937
Xbox360: 755,935

So in 2 years the 360 didn't even hit a million.

Of the countless reasons you could criticize Nintendo, this one is pretty lame (at least as far as the DS is concerned, anyway). The DS has UNPRECEDENTEDLY MASSIVE software support from both Nintendo and 3rd parties. The same thing cannot be said about the PSP. People are indeed buying PSP hardware, but it seems the only games selling on it are Monster Hunter and Gundam. Okay, so the PSP has a handful of games worth owning, but the DS has dozens and dozens...

So, I just don't understand your criticism this time. I often disagree with your criticism, but this time it goes beyond disagreeing with it. I just can't understand why you'd think the DS is being neglected software wise...

Yep, the 360 was released in Japan back in November 2005 about the same time as the American launch. Which goes to show just how pathetic Microsoft's presence in the Japanese market has been.

Post by: Deguello on November 29, 2008, 06:43:48 PM: So... if everybody who bought a 360 or a PS3 in Japan is a hardcore gamer...

That makes roughly 3.1 million hardcores. Now, the Wii has just passed 7 million. If the market for hardcores is only 3.1 million and they all have Wiis too... are we to consider and believe that Nintendo has found an amorphous new segment of the market that is waaayy~ bigger than than the old market, such that the old market would have literally collapsed under its own weight? Did Nintendo save the videogame market in Japan, and people should grovel at their feet for keep Japan relevant as far as games are concerned?

Or is it easier to swallow that the Wii grabbed a majority share of regular games? (I go with this one, the other sounds pretty ridiculous.)

Not really for a console that's two years old Wii has a pretty good library, and I don't know if you remember but some of the best PS2 games came out late in the PS2 life. So I wouldn't discount Wii just yet since 3rd parties and 1st party will be strong hell Atari announced 3 games for Wii today ready 2 rumble, QJ a music game from Q?

Yes, Nintendo's first-party output for Wii in the first two years kills Sony's output for the PS2 in its first two years. That's exactly what I said above.

It's the third-party support in the first two years where the PS2 pulls significantly ahead in terms of sheer numbers of (quality) games. I'd say the PS2 had about four times as many quality third-party games in its first two years, going off of IGN Editor's Choice numbers (incoming "IGN sucks" comments in 5, 4, 3, 2...).

Then again, PS2 was the only game in town; nowadays many third parties can just release on PC/360/PS3 if they so desire.

Why don't you just use Gamerankings or metacritic? Using just IGN is kinda bleh since they are a whole lot different today than they were 8 years ago, mainly the branched out into general entertainment news and creating juicy new opportunities for cross-medium review buying.

That is actually a good point. Scores were quite inflated for PS3 because of the visuals. Really the same thing happened with the 360 (not so much with PS3).

It just so happens that there's a bunch of people out there buying Wii's and DS's that didn't read them before, and aren't reading them now. Not much has really changed, aside from a Nintendo console taking the lion's share of sales.

Just because Wii sales have exploded doesn't mean the rest of the gaming world has become irrelevant, or the rest of the industry that came before has all of a sudden imploded, ceased to exist, or come to a screeching halt. The only difference for me personally is that my Mom and Sister both have a Nintendo DS. That doesn't affect me, my buying tastes, what most people I know will purchase, etc. My tastes, as a market, aren't going anywhere becasue of the success of the Wii and DS. It just so happens that people that didn't care about video games before are now interested.

Even before the Wii it has been found repeatedly that reviwew scores and sales don't correlate. These days it almost seems like they're scoring based on the sales and fan numbers they expect rather than the actual game quality, hyped games get more lenient treatment of bugs/weaknesses, games the community hates get a 1/5 despite being nowhere close to Big Rigs.

I just don't think that there's some huge media bias against Nintendo; I think there's a media bias against mediocre and bad games. Did Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Brawl, Mario Kart, Metroid Prime 3, Galaxy, and Okami get bad reviews? Heck no, because they're awesome games no matter how you cut it. Why did Wii Music gets skewered by the press? Because it lacks depth, and frankly isn't as innovative and groundbreaking as people expect from Nintendo, and it has a crappy music selection to boot. Period. That's it. Game reviewers ultimately appreciate excellently executed game design. Whether that's Tetris Party, Fallout 3, Peggle, Wii Fit, or Gears of War 2, it doesn't matter. There are many games on the Wii that don't do that, whether they sell or not. You can't expect game reviewers that are appreciative of good game design to reward something like Carnival Games. It may sell out the ass, but that doesn't mean it's a well-designed game.

Maybe somebody should start a website that doles out review scores based on sales figures. It seems like that's what some people respect these days.

I don't know for sure. When I got my Wii at launch and brought it home over Christmas break to play, demonstrating Wii sports to some of my cousins, aunts, and uncles was the very reason they went out to get one for Christmas that year (or shortly after if they had trouble finding it). I think 4 or 5 of my family members purchased a Wii because of that. I really do believe that they would have also bought Wii Sports if it was not included because they were so enthralled with the title (well, maybe except for one of my aunts who only bought a Wii to play Twilight Princess - she's obsessed).

Now, the question is, would I have bought Wii Sports at launch if it wasn't bundled, which in turn persuaded my family to buy Wii's for themselves? Probably not...

Neither do I. The "press" generally loves Nintendo. It's the games press that's a little iffy about them. If you don't believe me, go back and read stuff most of them (and us) wrote about the Wii. And do the same about the DS. They were both reviled as "gimmicks" and such. Now just think about that for a second. If you were some new gamer, or even a middle-information vet, or a pretty hardcore Nintendo fan, and say, 1up just called the DS "the next Virtual Boy" or the Wii "Phamily Phun Waggle Phests," would you really trust any judgment they pass on DS or Wii games? They've mellowed a bit since then, mainly due to the "don't piss off the majority too much if you don't want your magazine to die" rule, but it's still there, under the surface.

Reviews are very useful when all consoles are similar, like the SNES and Genesis, and the PS2, Xbox, and GC. But since the DS and Wii are so "at odds" with the rest of the industry they are dominating, reviews based on old checklists just don't have as much weight. And I'm not saying that reviewers can't ever gain that trust back, because they had it in 2004 and 2006. They'll just have to work harder to understand what readers expect in a review to make up for the readers they lost when they painted all of them with broad strokes and patronizingly condescended to.

And when there are confirmed stories about review-buying through games like Kane and Lynch, is it possible that this happens with games that maybe deserve high scores? Can we ever really be sure a game got what it deserved? Say what you want about sales numbers, at least they are objective. Now of course I'm not saying sales numbers are the only metric and we should all just scan the charts for quality, but when the game buying populace vehemently disagrees with reviewers, something is amiss and it's not just the "casual gamer" business again.

Reviews in more equivalent times would be a good thing to use. But when the console that is dominating is so "ideologically different" than the console that is losing, it's just hard to believe reviewers are objective, especially when they've previously shown animosity towards one.

Based on the latest Famitsu hardware numbers...
PSP comparisons: After 207 weeks, PSP is where PS2 was at 154.6 weeks (February 13, 2003), where DS was at 92.0 weeks (September 3, 2006), and where GBA was at 140.2 weeks (November 24, 2003).

X360 comparisons: After 155 weeks, X360 is where GCN was at 15.1 weeks (December 24, 2001), where PS3 was at 19.7 weeks (March 23, 2007), and where Wii was at 4.1 weeks (December 25, 2006).

PS3 comparisons: After 107 weeks, PS3 is where PS2 was at 23.9 weeks (August 12, 2000), where PSP was at 54.6 weeks (December 22, 2005), where GCN was at 109.3 weeks (October 14, 2003), and where Wii was at 25.9 weeks (May 26, 2007).

Wii comparisons: After 104 weeks, Wii is where GBA was at 91.0 weeks (December 15, 2002), where DS was at 71.4 weeks (April 12, 2006), where PS2 was at 101.0 weeks (February 3, 2002), and where PSP was at 156.6 weeks (December 6, 2007).

DSi comparisons: After 4 weeks, DSi is where GBASP was at 5.8 weeks (March 22, 2003), where GBM was at 23.6 weeks (February 23, 2006), and where DSL was at 4.4 weeks (March 29, 2006).

Based on the latest Media Create hardware numbers...
DS vs PSP: Weekly shares of 67.4 / 32.6 bring total shares to 69.0 / 31.0. If DS stopped selling and PSP continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 242.7 weeks (July 27, 2013).

X360 vs PS3: Weekly shares of 24.6 / 75.4 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 148.1 weeks (October 3, 2011).

PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares of 41.2 / 58.8 bring total shares to 25.9 / 74.1. If Wii stopped selling and PS3 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 131.3 weeks (June 7, 2011).

Week over week, there's really no constant pattern to the changes. PS3 doubling is the biggest obvious difference this week.

I just don't think that there's some huge media bias against Nintendo

Neither do I. The "press" generally loves Nintendo. It's the games press that's a little iffy about them. If you don't believe me, go back and read stuff most of them (and us) wrote about the Wii. And do the same about the DS. They were both reviled as "gimmicks" and such. Now just think about that for a second. If you were some new gamer, or even a middle-information vet, or a pretty hardcore Nintendo fan, and say, 1up just called the DS "the next Virtual Boy" or the Wii "Phamily Phun Waggle Phests," would you really trust any judgment they pass on DS or Wii games? They've mellowed a bit since then, mainly due to the "don't piss off the majority too much if you don't want your magazine to die" rule, but it's still there, under the surface.

Reviews are very useful when all consoles are similar, like the SNES and Genesis, and the PS2, Xbox, and GC. But since the DS and Wii are so "at odds" with the rest of the industry they are dominating, reviews based on old checklists just don't have as much weight. And I'm not saying that reviewers can't ever gain that trust back, because they had it in 2004 and 2006. They'll just have to work harder to understand what readers expect in a review to make up for the readers they lost when they painted all of them with broad strokes and patronizingly condescended to.

And when there are confirmed stories about review-buying through games like Kane and Lynch, is it possible that this happens with games that maybe deserve high scores? Can we ever really be sure a game got what it deserved? Say what you want about sales numbers, at least they are objective. Now of course I'm not saying sales numbers are the only metric and we should all just scan the charts for quality, but when the game buying populace vehemently disagrees with reviewers, something is amiss and it's not just the "casual gamer" business again.

Reviews in more equivalent times would be a good thing to use. But when the console that is dominating is so "ideologically different" than the console that is losing, it's just hard to believe reviewers are objective, especially when they've previously shown animosity towards one.

Excellent points Dequello. I...have absolutely nothing to add... umm... *salutes awkwardly* yeah!

Post by: MaleficentOgre on December 07, 2008, 09:05:29 PM: as I've changed the way I play games I've stopped giving much if any credence to reviews. It's not the reviewers fault, I'm just not in the audience anymore. Most reviews are generally good for two to six months. And as long as any game below say 8.5 or so is crap then the whole process is a joke. All media is biased because they experiance things in a certain way, and no matter how hard they try it isn't the same as a lot of people. The most common game complaint about another game doing the same thing before is absurd to anyone who hasn't played that game.
If RE5 is just like RE4 then all you're going to hear is how it's RE4 in Africa. But to anyone who didn't play RE4 and maybe only has a 360 or a non bc ps3 then playing RE4 isn't an option and their enjoyment won't be effected in any way at all by how similar it is or isn't to the prior game.
So yeah, reviews are pretty useless as they're currently written. Needs more island criticism.
Also, mediocre and bad are really subjective. Excellent game design is totally subjective. If you got Gears 2 for online play and it takes you five minutes to get to a match this game everyone loves is mostly garbage for you.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_Lindy on December 07, 2008, 10:31:50 PM: Games will never be reviewed in a vacuum, though. If a multiplatform title comes out on PS3/360 and it's more immersive than the Wii version due to a better graphics engine, how could you not give the Wii version a lower score? The Wii version's game experience simply isn't as good overall. However, if the Wii version has its own strengths - like, say, Pro Evo Soccer 2008, which is a great game in its own right - it should (and is) scored accordingly. If someone can point me to a game that they think got screwed over by some sort of bias, please do. I don't think those games exist.

If the Wii version of a game is simply trying to ape the PS3/360 version of a game, it will always be an inferior version almost by default, and will get lower scores (as it should). That's not a game media bias, that's a bad port by a developer. That's not the media's fault. They're just calling it like they see it. And I firmly believe that idiocy like Gerstmanngate is the exception, not the rule. I also value Metacritic, since publisher PR machines can't get to EVERY media outlet out there.

The Wii should have games that are considered to be high-quality when compared to ALL of gaming, not just games that "are great under the conditions that the reviewer has lived alone on an island since 2000 and has never played any other console later than the Nintendo 64". You also have to realize that the game media knows better. To a certain degree, Nintendo is preying on the ignorance of its new audience. Don't add anything new to Animal Crossing Wii? Who cares, none of our new customers know any better!

Post by: daniel0x7d on December 08, 2008, 12:07:48 AM: I don't know if you can call it a conspiracy but there's been a definite line of hate directed at Nintendo since Sony came on the scene from everyone involved in video games: Developers, publishers, magazines, reviewers. Hell, all you have to do is look at last generation and you can see it clear as day. XBox barely outsells GameCube while MS loses BILLIONS of dollars and yet it's looked at as being a massive success while Nintendo is considered dead in the water. I don't care that public opinion of the GC was that it was an inferior system even when compared to the PS2 since developers knew different but what does infuriate me is that whenever a game was multiplatform and scheduled to appear on all 3 consoles developers would port the PS2 version to the GC, and make it look WORSE! Why? It would have been easier to port the XBox version down than to port the PS2 version up as the GC was almost neck-in-neck with the XBox and light years ahead of the PS2.

And now you have developers refusing to make Wii games because they say that they'd basically have to make 2 games? One for the PS3/360 and one for Wii? Why would that be a problem? They did that last generation anyway whenever a game was released on the PS2 and the XBox. If anyone doesn't actually believe that they had to put in a ton of effort to get a game to run on those two very different systems they're fooling themselves. Besides, the cost of making a Wii version, even if they had to start from scratch which we all know they wouldn't have to, would be so negligible that there shouldn't even be an issue with making it. But again, no port for the GC even though it would have been super easy and cheap to do and no port for Wii even though it alone controls almost 50% of the home console industry.

I'm sorry but conspiracy those may not be but they certainly do sound like someone (EVERYONE) is holding a grudge.

As for reviews, it's been stylish to bash Nintendo for not sucking up to gamers like Sony and MS do and that's certainly never going to change. Not until game reviewers get some integrity at least.

You're reading the score wrong. Below 8.5 isn't crap, it's still good, it just means there are better games around and you probably should spend your money on those first. Games are expensive and there's tons of great games around so "just good" doesn't cut it in this market anymore.

Also "Gerstmanngate" was just incompetence from the reviewer. Supposedly he hacked that up in one hour before the deadline, not bothering to really play the game much and he had been pulling a lot of crap before then too. Money hats or not, Gerstmann deserved to get fired and he just spread the rumor that it was because he was honest rather than because he was an incompetent lazy slob.

BTW, Animal Crossing wasn't "preying on the ignorance of the new market", they clearly said it's a core game, i.e. they expect the old market to buy it.

It's preying on the ignorance of the new market in the sense that the new market doesn't know enough to recognize it as the rehash that it is. They lack the historical context that the supposedly "biased" gaming media has. Nintendo really doesn't even need to try at this point because the new market just doesn't know any better. The gaming media knows better, and that's why they're hard on Nintendo.

This is false Lindy. What about PC versions of games that look noticeably better yet get the same score? Your logic has to work both ways and it doesn't. There is also an extreme bias against certain kinds of games, such as, let's say a trivia game. It can be the best, most polished trivia game around but it will never receive a great score. One game that comes to mind is Order Up, while it received solid scores it should have gotten far better because of what it did for the genre and that it was a POLISHED title.

Good point. Personally if I did not have a good PC I would really have to think about which version of, let's say, CoD: WaW because I cannot stand analog control in FPS games, I'd much rather use a mouse, or in the Wii's case point functionality.

Kind of like MGS4 and how they used their objective lens to give MGS4 a 10 for its non-rehashed brilliance. The fact is that Animal Crossing is a great game for people who have never played it before. For one it is a big step ahead of the first AC on GC and while it shares many similarities with the DS version, the fact it can be played at home while relaxing is a great feature for both old and new gamers. Chances are that many of these new Wii owners may not even own a DS, so why not get it on Wii? It is charming game that is still one of a kind even if they haven't innovated it much.

Wikipedia is your friend, dude:

"Market share

49.10 million Super NES units were sold worldwide, with 23.35 million of those units sold in the Americas and 17.17 million in Japan.[1] Although it could not quite repeat the success of the NES, which sold 61.91 million units worldwide,[1] the Super NES was the best-selling console of its era. The Mega Drive/Genesis came in second with 29 million sold worldwide,[76][77][78] and the TurboGrafx-16 was third with 10 million sold worldwide.[79]"
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on December 09, 2008, 03:27:32 AM: It is probably worth noting that not only has the Wii already surpassed the Gamecube's LTD sales; it has also surpassed the N64's LTD sales as well!

According to Wikipedia:

Quote
The North American launch on September 29 1996 ended with 500,000 N64 units sold in the first four months.[8] Benimaru Itoh, a developer for EarthBound 64 and friend of Shigeru Miyamoto, speculated in 1997 that the N64's lack of popularity in Japan was due to the lack of role-playing video games.[9] As of March 31 2005, the N64 had sold 5.54 million units in Japan, 20.63 million in the Americas, and 6.75 million in other regions, for a total of 32.93 million units.[10][2]

The system was frequently marketed as the world's first 64-bit gaming system. A few years prior, Atari claimed to have made the first 64-bit game console with their Atari Jaguar; however, the Jaguar actually only used a 64-bit RISC architecture "Object Processor" and a 64-bit RISC "Blitter" in conjunction with two 32-bit processors and a 16-bit Motorola 68000.

At 39 million, the Wii has to sell another 10 million to beat the Super NES LTD sales, but I think they will probably do that by the end of this fiscal year.

I also believe that in a year or two the Wii will have surpassed even the original NES, and it will have become Nintendo's most popular console of all time. I'm not sure if it can beat the PS2's LTD, though, and beating the PS2 will be difficult because the PS2 isn't actually even dead yet...

I agree with wondering about whether the Wii will ultimately beat PS2 install base, but at least it's tracking ahead of PS2 sales numbers in most/all markets. The question is whether the Wii will last as long.

My guess is that it won't because the Wii is a different kind of system with what (may) be a shorter lifespan because of the hardware. We'll see though, so far the Wii is showing how stupid all of us are at analyzing stuff!

It saddens me that so many supposed loyal fans are hating on it.
Yeah, this holiday season's lineup SUCKS for us but we've been through this before.
Some people are acting like the Wii is the first Nintendo console to go through a dry spell. The N64 and Gamecube were just as bad and much worse at times. Back then, we'd be looking forward to the big holiday title only to have it be delayed into the new year, leaving us with NOTHING.
We spent the last two generations complaining about lackluster holiday lineups, endless delays, and pathetic sales. Can we just be thankful we now only have ONE of the three to complain about. These ARE better days.

The crappy holiday lineup doesn't mean Nintendo has abandoned the hardcore gamer as some have accused. They need to stop using this casuals market as a scapegoat. This is just more of the same crap we've put up with for over a decade. But, you know what, we've remained fans through all these years of miserable game droughts and when the next masterpiece of Mario Galaxy proportions does finally arrive on the Wii, all will be forgiven.
In the meantime let's just be thankful Nintendo is finally kicking some competitor ass and becoming a household name again. Nintendo is back on top and the best is yet to come. Just not until next year.

I agree Michael8983. As hardcore fans, especially hardcore Nintendo fans, we ALWAYS have stuff to complain about. But I, for one, feel that things have improved so dramatically over past consoles, and I really feel that this is really the best time to be a Nintendo fan in more than a decade.

It's a pity that the rest of the industry isn't quite keeping pace with the new reality of Nintendo's dominance, but *shrug* I won't let that stop me from reveling in maniacal laughter at a resurgent Nintendo.

Post by: Flames_of_chaos on December 09, 2008, 09:10:49 AM: I disagree on one big point the most obvious reason that Nintendo didn't have a big presence in this holiday season is because they unloaded their big guns already Metroid, Mario, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, Wii Fit and such which left us as Wii Music and Animal Crossing and also Fatal Frame 4 and Disaster Day of Crisis unreleased.

One of the biggest issues I think is that people discount 3rd party games on Wii and despite all the naysayers from so called "hardcore" gamers and game media journalists that has their heads up their collective asses, the Wii 3rd party situation is fine and it's as healthy as it was during the NES/SNES era and guess what those eras were filled with crappy license tie ins and the dreaded shovel ware. The ironic thing that people keep forgetting is that Nintendo's strategy with Wii is essentially the same as DS.

That being said, I rather buy fewer, BETTER games than more games with rolling rosters or new maps. Most games aren't worth the 50-60 USD price tag. yet most companies out there continue to push for a more irrational market that says that every game is worth that much.

I agree with all of this; I think it'd probably be best if all new games weren't always priced the same, especially since they don't all have the same budget. The one-price-fits-all model that drives movie tickets and (most) DVDs just is not going to push Speed Racer: The Video Game out the door. Now THAT'S something I would've paid $20 for easy...as of right now, WB Games hasn't gotten a cent out of me.

And yes, one game can turn the tide. The Wii will become a third party juggernaut, just like when it happened to the DS with Dragon Quest IX (and FFIII). They were announced, a bunch of other companies decided to bring games to the DS because they wanted profit instead of American Hardcore Approval.

Post by: NWR_Lindy on December 11, 2008, 10:07:40 PM: I don't know how much Dragon Quest X is going to change the big picture. I mean, it's not like the Wii ISN'T selling. There's already no reason for third-parties to ignore the Wii with the sales numbers it has, and yet for the most part they are. Dragon Quest X is just going to add to the Wii sales pile-on, adding tens of millions of Wiis to the system's lifetime sales. That's huge, but it's not like it's going to give third-parties that are already ignoring its massive userbase impetus to change their minds. It seems like their mind is already made up as to what will and will not sell on the platform. Maybe this will change, but I'm too cynical to believe it.

I can see the logic though, don't get me wrong. Street Fighter II was huge for the SNES, and it almost singlehandedly saved the system. However, I think this is a bit of a different case for one main reason: hardware. Now, I'm not saying that you CAN'T do all types of games on the Wii. Even though it's not as powerful as the PS3 and 360, it can do anything that the PS2/GameCube can, and both of those consoles had plenty of "hardcore" games. However, in that generation all hardware was 1:1 in terms of performance, basically. GameCube and XBox were marginally more powerful than PS2, but there was nothing like the performance gap that exists between the Wii and PS3/360. The same holds true for the SNES and Genesis; they were basically 1:1 performance-wise, so the decision regarding whether or not to develop games on either platform typically had nothing to do with hardware.

In this generation, that isn't the case. You already have third-parties not developing on Wii simply because they want to design games that take advantage of the best hardware out there and everything it can do. That means their primary focus is on PC, PS3, and 360 (especially since they can port their code across all three platforms in much less time than it would take them to create a Wii game - concept, design, engine, and all - for Wii). They couldn't give a rip about the Wii's motion controls because the console can't create the type of graphically immersive world that they want, or they can't do as robust an online mode as they want to. I'm not saying this is right, or wrong, or good or bad business. But I think it's the case. Sure, tons of third-parties make games for the DS, but the expectations on a handheld are lower than on a console from both developers and gamers. On the Wii I can easily see developers saying, "OK, here's the game we want to make. We can put it on Wii, but we'd have to rework a whole lot of stuff, make a completely new graphics engine from scratch, and basically compromise our vision to a certain degree. And on top of that, we're not even sure if the Wii audience will be receptive to it. I think it's safer to do it on PC and then port it to PS3/360."

It's not as simple a choice as in the past. It used to be that companies could just sit back and pick the sales frontrunner, because their games would look the same and be designed in the same way across all the platforms out there. This time around, the Wii seems to be seen as a "specialty" market that not every developer wants to wade into.

Post by: Deguello on December 11, 2008, 10:58:32 PM: While Lindy's post is rather large and... cluttered I'll euphemistically say, I do take one umbrage with his bringing up of "performance gaps" as some sort of indicator of third party support or lack thereof.

Twice in gaming history there have been rather large performance gaps.

Recently the DS and PSP exhibit large amounts of gaps in performance. The DS is about as powerful as the N64 (on the higher side) and the PSP can actually look better than the PS2 at times. The Third parties are largely in favor of the DS.

More lately, the Ps1 and N64 exhbited a large power gap, with the N64 having great graphical chops in the forms of Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Rogue Squadron, Mario 64, Jet Force Gemini, and Donkey Kong 64. These games made even the highest budget PS1 games look like pixellated garbage wrought from Satan's Anus. Third parties favored the PS1, with a landmark announcement being FFVII announced exclusively for it. If this is all sounding familiar, it should because the one thing the "performance gap" consoles had in common was a gigantic userbase. This overrode any notions of demographics and what game belongs where under what style and yakkity yak yak.

And for the record "mass market" is a bad label to throw around, mainly because third parties would be apeshit crazy not to want all of their games to be "mass market." Do you think Namco would throw a fit if Tales of Whatever sold 13 million copies? Would that say "Dammit! I clearly aimed this game to sell 300,000 copies to the Lebanese immigrant demographic!

OMG @ thw Wii #'s for November!! when is the last time that a system sold that many in a single month?

This is the second highest month of a single console's sales ever. First is PS2's 2002 December (2.7 million)...It IS, however, the highest November sales ever...

That being the case, looks like the Wii is set for a record smashing December as well (provided there aren't major shortages, of course).

It might get some mention if there's still time after they discuss blu-ray and HD. Honestly, I don't think Sony executives really give a crap about video games, and I doubt any of them even play any.

PS3 costs soooo much. ugh. I want it. I missed out on the amazon deal $200 system. ugh.

Wait a couple years and you'll be able to find them in bargain bins for next to nothing when stores try to get rid of the system that just collects dust on their shelves.

It's not going to happen, the Wii is killing gaming and that's a fact proven by every ounce of sales data. Wii is the worst thing to happen to gaming since PSP, and it's all YOUR fault.

Poor LBP.[..] Not enough advertising

Er whut? They're plastering ads for that everywhere! My bet is that people don't want to play as knitted cookie monsters.

Mario, no matter how many million users the system has it won't make Mad World a million seller.

It might have more to do with Sony's stance on 2d games coming back to bite them in the ass. During the Playstation 1 and 2, Sony of America did all they could to tell their audience that 2d games were bad, and that 3d games are cool.

So now when Sony tries to market a 2d game as their big seller, of course their fans aren't going to be excited for it, when Sony told them for the last decade to not care about 2d.

I think that this is Nintendo's biggest challenge right now, and I believe that it is a marketing challenge. Nintendo can reach these consumers, but they need to figure out a way to help third parties create added sales. I don't think that Nintendo should spring for high-cost strategies like TV commercials that are possibly low return, but they need to figure out a way to get the benefits of the Nintendo Channel out to consumers who aren't proactive game buyers.

Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on December 12, 2008, 02:29:38 PM: If Nintendo Channel was useful--instead of being another TV commercial medium where publishers paid for ad space--then it should have a wishlist/preference function where people can specify genres, franchises, publishers they liked and get Wii Message Board updates on new media that becomes available, and possibly a Message Board newsletter for overall updates on the channel.

Plus, the trailer selection in the channel is somewhat awful; Nintendo needs to proactively coordinate with 3rd party publishers to make their promo media available and not just have the channel be 75% Nintendo content.

That could be, but not only must publishers do this, they must re-invent their marketing to reach these new consumers that their traditional channels don't reach. Nintendo could help lead the way in that regard, especially since Nintendo is at the forefront of how to conduct marketing to large number of people in this day and age.

I don't think the traditional channels aren't reaching them, the Wii didn't sell through some innovative new marketing strategy.

I highly disagree. The Wii has reached people through some amazing channels: viral marketing, blogger parties, and advertising where you'd least expect it: on channels like ABC, at AARP conventions, and mainstream magazines that DON'T appeal to the gamer demo.

The Wii's been moved through all those avenues, they just need to figure out a way to get added game purchases from those non-traditional demographics to extend beyond Nintendo's line of Wii Play - Wii Fit - Mario Kart Wii.

I completely agree. For a while there, you couldn't turn on one of the morning shows and not see a segment about the Wii, or old people playing Wii in nursing homes, or people using Wii as rehabilitation exercises. I don't ever remember that much extensive coverage of any of the other consoles from any generation. The only negative stuff about the Wii at that time was the amount of new televisions the remotes were breaking.

Miyamoto's revenge, Wii Music lives.

Guitar Hero: World Tour is still beating it though so all remains right with the world. ;)

LBP likely suffers from the problem that it really doesn't fit the image of the PS3. No console really does a good job at being for everyone. The PS3 and X360 very much come across as being 13-22 year old male, extreme, space marine, "mature" consoles. LBP doesn't fit that mold and the PS3 isn't the market leading console that everyone owns. It's the last place console. It's like what the Cube was last gen. The Cube was the kid's console and we saw when "mature" games sold like crap on it. Well the PS3 likely has the reverse problem and a high profile "kids" game is selling like crap on it. Yeah the hardcore gamers love it but the hardcore gamers loved Metroid Prime and it always struggled to get the sales it feels like it should have deserved.

The PS3 is not going to attract a wide audience. It will attract hardcore gamers because every console with some decent games does, but not enough to make a significant sales dent. The remaining group will follow the stereotype and that means 16 year old boys who just want to shoot things and stare at tits.

We shouldn't crap on it though. We should always be in favour of the development of quality games. A good game that sells poorly should be a tragedy on any console. A crap game that sells like hot cakes should be seen as a bad thing as well. Now that Nintendo's winning again I think there's too much emphasis on financial success. Whether you like Sony or not it should be sad that a good game is getting ignored.

If you want to make fun of something pick something like Lair which is both a critical and commercial flop! See THAT's funny! That's the sort of stuff you use to poke fun at Sony! :)

I don't mind a short game but for that price it needs to have good replayability which it seems to lack. If the game originally came out as downloadable for a reduced price a la Burnout I would've gotten it in a heartbeat. I'm glad to see that they're continuing with the franchise though despite poor sales.

Sadly I think in this case it is part of the reason. If a female lead isn't ridiculously out of proportion like Laura Croft it has trouble being successful.

Anyway, the point is, just because the lead wasn't proportioned like some guys would WISH real girls were, doesn't mean that is the reason the game failed to gain attention.

This was a very hard year to get attention because several great games for all the systems were coming out competing for your dollar. An artistic FPS designed less around shooting combat and blood, and more around puzzles, hand to hand combat and platforming just didn't garner the attention this year.

I think it's interesting that Mirror's Edge bombed. I have a theory that your typical hardcore gamer wont buy a game with a female main character unless she has been overtly sexualized; i.e. Tomb Raider.

Metroid? No, it always sells okay but never as good as you think it should. It's considered probably in the top five videogame franchises ever and with that type of critical acclaim it never seems to do as well as it seems it deserves to. Perfect Dark was one of the best N64 games and it didn't sell as well as it should have either.

What's intersting is that years ago you wouldn't call someone who dismisses female characters because of a lack of sex appeal a hardcore gamer. We used to call those guys casual gamers. They were the rubes that bought Madden every year, thought Halo was the greatest FPS ever, and liked GTA because they could kill hookers. Hardcore gamers would either not play Madden at all or would buy it if it was good and not be so annual with sequel purchases, likely enjoyed Halo but recognized that it was neither innovative or an elite FPS, and liked GTA because of it's open ended gameplay. It was only when Nintendo introduced a new group that made those casual gamers look like elite import-playing shmup fans in comparison that they started being lumped with "hardcore gamers". MS touting the Xbox as the "hardcore gamer's console" when it was anything but also diluted the term.

The TRUE hardcore gamer has a keen interest in videogaming in general. It's a hobby to them. They seek out the best games are and willing to put in extra effort to find them. But they're a small group. There probably aren't many games that would make a good buck appealing to just them though they do exist (the Cube localization of Ikaruga, anything published by Atlus). Mirror's Edge isn't something that would strive to only sell with hardcore gamers. It also wants to sell with what used to be called "casual gamers". They have a much less involved interest in games but are not against buying good games. They'll just also buy crap games like 50 Cent Bulletproof. But if Mirror's Edge has some good action and it's marketed well they'll go for it. The hardcore and the former "casual gamer" essentially make up the "core gamer" group that Mirror's Edge targets.

Non-gamers are like people who will pay money for browser games. They're the new group Nintendo introduced with the DS and Wii. The new group seems to be more disinterested in what would normally be considered good game design because of over complexity or challenge or whatever. Thus the "split". This group is considered incompatible with hardcore gamers.

The general difference is that the old casual gamers were not turned off by good games, they just were easily distracted by superficial crap. They would buy a crap game because it had tits or blood and would ignore a good game because it looked too childish or too Japanese or too arty or too old or whatever. They are the group that would reject a game like Mirror's Edge because the female character is not dressed like a slut. Not hardcore gamers. Hardcore gamers just see that gameplay and make their purchase decision based on that.

Instead, I prefer to think that Mirror's Edge is simply not riding on some trends that gamers today subscribe to: open-ended gameplay, social-networking/multiplayer, ...ummm... guns?

I mean, seriously, Mirror's Edge is a first-person single-player platformer. The only descriptor there that holds any luster in today's game market is "first person" and even then, considering Resistance 2's lackluster performance, it isn't much of a guarantee.

We shouldn't crap on it though. We should always be in favour of the development of quality games. A good game that sells poorly should be a tragedy on any console. A crap game that sells like hot cakes should be seen as a bad thing as well. Now that Nintendo's winning again I think there's too much emphasis on financial success. Whether you like Sony or not it should be sad that a good game is getting ignored.

Actually, I think we should crap on it, since it is yet another blatant attempted rip-off by Sony of a successful Nintendo franchise. Sony's entire video game division is built from rip-offs of Nintendo stuff. It all started with the original PS which was blatant rip-off of the SNES and the cd-rom drive for it that never was released, and the controller is configured exactly like an SNES controller with N64 thumbsticks tacked on. And now we have Sony trying to rip off Nintendo's motion control innovations as well.

So when they fail, I say its what they deserve and I have absolutely no sympathy for them. You are right it is a great game I'm sure, but any clone of greatness is probably also going to be great, naturally. That doesn't mean it isn't a ripoff and deserving of failure, though. What Sony lacks is originality, and can only get good ideas by imitating what other companies are doing. Their failure right now is nothing short of Karma, IMHO.

I was using the stupid internet definition of "hardcore" gamer. Apparantly everybody that owns a PS360 is automatically considered to be hardcore.

Anyway, I don't think sexism is the sole factor in the sales of Mirror's Edge, but I do believe it contributed to it. I've been thinking about this ever since the original Beyond Good and Evil bombed. Sure, that game was also overshadowed by bigger hyped games, but it really bombed and I've always wondered why.

I've been trying to think of game series' that had a female lead (without the option to play as a male character) who didn't dress like a prostitute that actually sold well, and I'm coming up with nothing. Well, Ms. Pac-man.

But then again she was kinda hawt.

Post by: KDR_11k on December 16, 2008, 05:28:15 AM: If you want my oppinion on ME's failing it's that it's a first person platformer. Platforming is the most reviled aspect of first person games and ME doesn't even use the standard "if you can get your feet on the horizontal part you can land there" logic but has tons of maneuvers like grabbing, wallrunning, ... that make the movement even less obvious. The Sonic-style momentum stuff doesn't help much either and makes it harder to judge which jumps you can make. The demo didn't feel like something I'd want to play for a prolonged period of time.

BG&E simply had a quirky theme with talking animals and stuff, not exactly popular with older gamers. Can't say I liked the game either, got stuck when I couldn't solve a stealth scene just by sniping all the guards.

It's also a new IP, which is a good thing, except when it means that nobody who hasn't followed it in the media has any idea what it is. I bought it, though, and I really like it.

Post by: MaleficentOgre on December 16, 2008, 07:23:58 AM: If you don't live for gaming news you don't know what mirror's edge is. That's why it bombed. This time of year marketing sells games (wii play excluded) more than anything else. You put your game all over tv and people buy it. Why does Guitar Hero sell so much on Wii as opposed to other games? Because Activision says "you can actually buy this game on wii." No one else is that smart. Like, did you guys know samba de amiga was out for Wii? I had no idea until I saw it at wal mart this weekend. Seriously, I had no clue.

Post by: Spak-Spang on December 16, 2008, 12:23:11 PM: Changing the topic slightly. Ian Sane brought up an interesting point about the definition of hardcore gamers and gamers.

I will not rehash his point, but it is true that the definitions have changed since Nintendo began marketing to new audiences with the blue ocean strategy. Before there were two categories Gamers/hardcore gamers and everyone else...seriously they didn't have a label...but we all knew who they were. (And they weren't people not playing games, they were exactly the people Ian Sane was describing the Madden/Halo/ crowd.) The population that was coming into gaming because it was becoming cool, but were tainting the market and not buying good games, but just specific genres. But the industry embraced this new player because mostly they were playing what the industry was designing anyway, and more importantly making lots more money.

Now Nintendo changed the rules and there is again only two categories of players Gamers/Hardcore gamers and Casual Gamers. But the casual market is now a larger assault on the Gamers ideals because they require different types of games, are challenging the ideas of what a game is...and in the process taking resources away and "tainting" the very nature of gaming with: Brain Age, Pet Simulations, Cooking Games, Wii Music, Mini Party Games...games that the hardcore see as a slap in the face to art they have supported for years.

Well before the true Gamers allowed the populous in to grant us endless supply of FPS, Sports Franchise games, and Bloody Sandbox games...the true gamers would have embraced the ideas and art of the new casual market games as something new and revolutionary.

To me this is a shame.

My friend has BG&E. I gave it a shot and I can say it's clearly a good game. But it's not THAT great. It's like an overrated underrated game, if that makes sense. It's underrated because it didn't sell so well but those that rave about it overhype as if it's some must-play classic that somehow slipped through the cracks. It isn't like how Gunstar Heroes was ignored on release and then later became regarded as one of the Genesis' best games. BG&E is not one of the best Cube, Xbox or PS2 games. It wasn't the best game released that year or around that time period. It would have been nice if it sold better but it wasn't entitled to high sales or anything.

Oh and whoever mentioned Ms. Pac-Man note that she is completely naked in that game except for a bow on a her head. Not dressed like a slut? How about not dressed at all? ;)

Post by: Spak-Spang on December 16, 2008, 01:19:54 PM: I think BG&E shows how hard it is to get the Zelda type adventure game formula done right. Actually several games have tried and failed...and I wonder if Zelda was a new franchise would it be able to garner the success it has as a legacy franchise?

But seriously, to create a world where every item is useful and fun to use and dungeons that build on puzzles and item clever/creative item usage is very hard. Zelda is a linear/nonlinear adventure game...and as such it can be difficult to design levels and gameplay that is interesting and engaging.

What more, it is difficult to create fantasy worlds that people embrace...specially if you are moving away from the traditional fantasy realms people already have a grasp of.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on December 16, 2008, 02:28:59 PM: Before this whole "demographics" talk I defined hardcore as highly competitive but I don't think anyone else shared that definition. "We gamers" were regular/veteran gamers (who are acquainted with the idiosyncrasies of modern games, read reviews and sometimes whine on forums), "casual" to me was someone who invested money but didn't dedicate much time to it (especially not to things like reviews and forums) and "non-gamers" were the kind that plays games where they are available but doesn't spend money on them. Of course Nintendo managed to make the non-gamers start buying stuff so the definition isn't very accurate anymore. Gaming was never a mere hardcore-casual split, there was always a pretty much sliding scale, the bar just gets moved sometimes. And then you hand Tetris to a non-gamer and see how silly the distinctions are anyway.

Within each group you have different interests of course.

I don't think anyone ever called Halo fans casual though, maybe stupid, ignorant, misguided, gore-loving, graphics-whores, etc but never casual. That was for the people who didn't know much about gaming beyond Madden and whatever was sold to them via ads. I'm not sure where those people went, you'd have to look for sales on stuff like sports games to track them and I really don't recall those.

Oh and it's funny how people complained about graphics whores and that games should innovate and prefer gameplay over graphics, yet now they see that's not what they really wanted.

Like where? The US numbers it came in 10th even though it was only out for the last third of the month. Seriously, you are being a bit silly. A game selling 500k in Japan which probably doesn't have a huge budget to begin with is far from a bomb. Not to mention the fact that Wild World is $20 CHEAPER than City Folk and has been out far longer. Not to mention there are like, what, 7 million Wiis in Japan? And there are what? Like 25 million NDS's in Japan? If it breaks one million it will be 1 in 7 Wii owners that own the game there compared to NDS's 1 in 4 which took 2 years.

It has sold just over 500,000 so far. Wild World is at 5 million in Japan alone. Nice try but BZZZTTTTT. City Folk is also doing MUCH worse in other territories.

Like where? The US numbers it came in 10th even though it was only out for the last third of the month. Seriously, you are being a bit silly. A game selling 500k in Japan which probably doesn't have a huge budget to begin with is far from a bomb. Not to mention the fact that Wild World is $20 CHEAPER than City Folk and has been out far longer. Not to mention there are like, what, 7 million Wiis in Japan? And there are what? Like 25 million NDS's in Japan? If it breaks one million it will be 1 in 7 Wii owners that own the game there compared to NDS's 1 in 4 which took 2 years.

Yeah, Animal Crossing isn't setting the world on fire, but I bet it's going to do respectable numbers. And considering it's a game completely focused on doing chores so you can pay off debts and buy more stuff... well... it's one of Nintendo's more niche titles. I swear my allegiance to it though, it definitely has a little something special. Now if only Harvest Moon stole some elements from it...

Wall-E got a massive marketing push with pretty much all demo units running the game and I think stores even bundling it with the console.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on December 18, 2008, 01:08:51 PM: Call of Duty comes across as supremely generic so I've never given it the time of day.

It also has one thing going against it: I associate it as a PC game. Thus when it appears on a console, particularly on an underpowered console like the Wii I assume it's compromised in some way. The fact that it's called World at War and not Call of Duty 6 or whatever suggests that it's a console spin-off. It isn't according to my five minutes of research but that type of naming convention suggests that.

But the biggest hurdle is that Activision milks the hell out of it. Thus it looks unessential kind of like the Tony Hawk series. So much product gets released you can't tell if it's good or bad or part of the main series or a spin-off. Guitar Hero will eventually turn out the same way.

Hell I have the same attitude towards Mario spin-offs. I just don't pay attention to them anymore. A new entry to a game series has to be an event to seem relevent and that means a few years need to take place between sequels. Annual sequels will burn everyone out after the fourth game.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: GoldenPhoenix on December 18, 2008, 01:23:38 PM: I may be wrong but isn't this latest Call of Duty lagging behind CoD4 when it comes to how well it is selling? While it is supposedly a good game, I have a feeling people have been turned off a bit by it going back to the WWII setting. Not to mention the Wii version has features stripped out of it. If anything this could be an indication that Wii owners are getting sick of stripped down versions of multiplatform games.

That doesn't explain why the PC version is lumped into the 200k bunch. I really hope this doesn't stop them from making the next one for the Wii because I want to play one in the modern setting but I'd rather not play it than play it with 360 or PC controls.

Maybe that's because CoD4 is so damn good that people don't want CoD5 AKA world at war. Or it's probably that people like Infinity Ward's CoD games and think Treyarch's CoD games are second rate.

The only Mario series that gets annual installments is Mario Party, which I agree didn't need to come out as often as it did, but I bought all of them all the same. As for Call of Duty, I bought 2 for the PS2 and 3 for the Wii & the Xbox 360 and returned all of them. They manage to make World War II seem boring.

This is the sort of thinking that has completely screwed over the Wii on third party support. Videogames are not entitled to sales. Just releasing a game on the Wii does not make us Wii owners obligated to buy it. You have to earn it. The Wii version for these games are almost always compromised. They're almost always the worst version. F*ck it, why should any of us put up with that crap? If you own another console you're going to get it for that console because that version is better. And if you only a Wii maybe you won't buy the game because your standards are such that a scaled Wii version ain't worth supporting. If they were all equals version then this conclusion makes sense but they're not. It should be EXPECTED that the best versions sell the best. The PS3/X360 versions outselling the Wii version is what's RIGHT. It's would SHOULD happen.

The sad truth is because third parties have had this attitude so long maybe the PS3 and X360 are where gamers that play Call of Duty now are. The situation with the Wii has been around long enough that those gamers are going to flock to the other consoles. Why get a Wii if the third parties are just going to screw you around? It's a self-fulfilling prophecy YET AGAIN. Being a Nintendo fan is just getting hosed by catch-22 situations again and again.

Guitar Hero is an exception where they haven't screwed over the Wii (well not as much) and thus has earned good sales. Don't treat us like second class citizens and we buy your game. What a concept!

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_Lindy on December 18, 2008, 08:03:45 PM: Eh, I don't think that's anything bad with the Wii though...it's just that the experience that games like CoD4 and CoD5 are pushing is done optimally on the 360, PS3, and PC. You can do FPSes on the Wii, but they have to be scaled down to fit the hardware. And by "scaled down" I mean mainly in the online department, and let's face it, FPSes are all about online these days.

The biggest thing is that the Wii is not known for FPSes, so if somebody who doesn't has a console goes over to his buddy's house to play CoD4, chances are it's going to be on 360. And chances are if he buys a console to play with his buddy, he's going to buy a 360. That's what I mean by most people who are check for games like CoD4 already have 360's and PS3s, because the Wii didn't have competing games in the beginning. That ship has already sailed, so to speak. Just like the ship for the "casual" market has already sailed with Nintendo; there's no way Sony and Microsoft are going to make any inroads now.

Well, it looks like we have the next catch-22 dragon that Nintendo needs to slay. Nintendo has somehow managed to pull off one miracle with making the Wii make all third parties take notice, taking the lead in console exclusive games, zooming ahead in number of titles, capturing most of the market, and pulling in monster revenue.

The Wii did all that, but there's still more to be done. Now Nintendo needs to see if they can create a situation where they can preserve all this momentum, but give the Wii2 equal footing on which to stand amongst specific areas of traditional gaming.

Ian, it's ironic that you point at Guitar Hero.

Guitar Hero 3 lacked DLC. It had MONO SOUND.

Wii gamers bought it anyways. THAT is how you get third parties to stand up, take notice, give us support, and BREAK the vicious cycle. You list Guitar Hero World Tour IV as your Wii game of the year. For that you have to thank the countless masses of people who bought Guitar Hero 3 DESPITE it having a slew of faults compared to the other versions. You complain about catch-22's, but you're content to reap the rewards when other people do what it takes to improve the situations on Nintendo consoles. Our "misguided" Guitar Hero 3 support made your Guitar Hero IV quality possible Ian.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Deguello on December 18, 2008, 11:05:17 PM: Considering all the news of third parties struggling in the wake of losses and high production costs, I'd say it's the third parties that need to resolve their problems with the Wii, and not the other way around.

This is the pain necessary for them to take the Wii seriously. It became apparent that they were not going to take the Wii seriously in mid-2007, nor embrace it in early 2008. But they will end up having to support Wii anyway, or they will contract into a niche non-factor. For some, especially Japanese devs, it's becoming support Wii or die.

The business side of games is always like a casino. The house wins eventually.

I know, though the mono sound was a f*ck up they acknowledged and fixed. They didn't intentionally drop stereo sound.

It was compromised but not the point of other Wii games. I know that sounds so pathetic but it is accurate. Compared to Rock Band it was near perfect and it came out around the same time as the other versions.

And I'll give Activision credit for seeing how their slighty-gimped GH3 did on the Wii and didn't come to the conclusion of "hey we can just dump whatever sh!t we want on this" and thus didn't compromise GH: Aerosmith or GH: World Tour. In fact World Tour even has extra content the other versions didn't have.

Too many videogame companies have this "con-man" method of selling games. Releasing junk and hoping enough ignorant people buy it is a common practice. Well it's a dirty way to do business and it's risky and when it bombs you can't whine about it. The companies that have a successful game and then decide to spread that franchise everywhere with spin-offs and lazy ports and cranked out portable versions with no focus on quality and rushed annual sequels are the companies that are going to die off.

What's the deal with this "Xbox arcade" anyway? That means no hard-drive, right? How severe are the restrictions that imposes in practice?

Well an arcade used to have a 256MB memory card but they turned it into 256MB internal memory. Basically you can pretty much use it for game saves because the Arcade game limit is almost 200MB.

Basically you can't rent movies, download demoes, download a lot of content, download a lot of Xbox live arcade games, buy xbox originals, install games into the harddrive(a useless optional feature IMO), take advantage of games that use the utility partition to help loading times.

So basically practically anything besides playing games.

That...actually isn't too bad. You can still go online then huh?

Do the 5 XBLA Arcade games come preinstalled then? You say the 5 free XBLA games that come with the arcade only take up 200 MBs? If you delete them can you get them back?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on December 21, 2008, 05:10:46 AM: Really, the pro is like 50€ more and comes with 60GB HDD space which has all the room for demos, videos, games, etc you'd want. Depending on the game the HDD install might be useful too.

Yes I think in arcades you get a free month of xbox live but no one is immune to the 50 dollar subscription fee for a year. If you want WiFi the Xbox 360 WiFi adapter is $99.99. Without a harddrive you are just severely limited to what you can do online.

The XBLA games come on a disc, the holiday bundle has Sega Tennis in it (Lego Indiana Jones and Kung Fu Panda for Pro and Elite) I believe the Holiday game bundle choices are to show that 360 has family friendly games as well LOL.

You do have to note that the 20GB harddrive in that offer is refurbished, and the free memory card is 512MB, 256MB memory cards are discontinued ever since microsoft moved those to internal memory only on arcade systems. The cheapest way for a 360 WiFi is making a wireless bridge or bridge the connection off a laptop.

Umm Kai you got it reverse, added value has the things included. I think you are looking at hidden costs because if you have a Arcade System you need a hard drive, you need HD cables or HDMI cable if you want high def, headset if you want voice chat, 50 a year subscription if you want to play online, wifi adapter if you want wireless internet access to your 360.

Thats good to hear.I also heard that Okami is at that point as well.

This week in America according to VG Chartz the Wii sold 1,000,930! That is an impressive number for 1 region of the world.Overall 1,838,350 Wiis were sold worldwide this week.20.03 million Wiis were sold in America up to this point.43.75 million Wiis have been sold to date.49.1% of the market is the Wiis.
All the Wii needs this week is 1.25 million for 45 million.

Post by: Deguello on December 25, 2008, 10:28:33 PM: I think the PS3 is doing even worse than the GC, both hardware and software-wise.

Why on Earth would Japanese developers even make 360 or PS3 games anymore? IT's pretty clear that the plurality of Japanese gamers have Wiis, yet they continue to waste their talents and time on userbases that mostly don't buy their games. And for what? Western sales? Where the Wii dominates also? Where 360 fans mainly only buy western games, even in the genres that the Japanese pride themselves in? (RPGs)

Something has to give here and the bottom line has to matter at some point. They can argue graphics, both visual and demo-, till they are blue in the face, but it won't stop the bleeding or the hurting. It's pretty damn clear now. Bring. Your. Best. Stuff. To. Wii. Or you can be consumed by your own costs and low userbases like Free Radical and Factor 5.

I mean seriously, how can anybody even justify a PS3 exclusive after looking at that list? Who can see the decision to put games like FFXIII on PS3 as anything but shortsighted stupidity? How can anybody justify a Japanese developer even giving the 360 the time of day now?

The waggly-tailed devil has come to collect his due. They have avoided the inevitable for too long, just like the DS. They can kick. They can scream. They can cry "kids," "casuals," "Nintendo fans." But they will have to make Wii games, or they can kiss their profits and relevancy goodbye.

No. whats sad is that the 360 doesn't even have a quarter million seller in Japan. Ps3 doesn't even have a three quarter million seller. & is you add their(PS3 + 360) #1 sellers together you still don't = a million seller. That's what sad.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on January 02, 2009, 09:06:34 PM: I'm pretty sure that the Japanese companies working on 360 and PS3 games are looking to the Western markets for their profits, which can still be viable. The gaming market in Japan has been sickly for a looooonnngg time. Nintendo's reviving it via the Wii and DS, but outside of that there's little hope except to compete on American and European soil against a rising class of Western developers.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Deguello on January 02, 2009, 09:19:52 PM: But they aren't succeeding there. And, if they really are seeking Western Gamers, they probably should be making Wii games anyway, because the Wii is the #1 console across all markets, including the Western markets. Heck the Wii has sold more in America that the PS3 has sold worldwide. This excuse holds no water anymore.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on January 02, 2009, 10:07:08 PM: Maybe third parties think that eventually their support of PS3/360 will pay off in the long run in Japan. Obviously it isn't now, but do you recall how the PSP was such a flop all over the world including in Japan? Well, thanks to a handful of games (mainly monster hunter games) the PSP has actually turned around and is now a success in Japan that was even outselling the DS up until the DSi model came out.

The same thing *might* be true with the PS3/360 (okay maybe not so much with the 360, because this is Japan, after all). If the PS3 is ever successful in Japan its going to be because of third party stubbornness and their refusal to abandon development for it. All it really needs is some must-have Monster Hunter type games. It really shouldn't though, and 3rd parties are stupid to persist, but I'm just saying that whether its stupid or not it could happen because it already did with the PSP...

There is one argument that MAY hold water still.

Third parties may simply be stuck in making HD games and refusing to go through what may be difficult changes in order to make games on the Wii. They may be spending tons of money developing HD games because they don't want to spend the money and effort to learn how to redirect themselves away from that focus. They may be locked into a pattern...
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on January 03, 2009, 04:09:38 AM: Sunk cost fallacy. The idea that you already spent X on product Z and thus should keep spending money to put that spent money into use. The spent money should not influence the decisions, if you spent 40 million on a project and would need another 10 million to complete it but you could cancel it and pursue a more efficient project (e.g. 5 million for the same result) it's rational to abandon the old project. The idea is that you've already lost that money anyway and should make sure future spending is still used optimally rather than clinging to the project and wanting to "save" that investment.

Sure, it may be happening but that doesn't make it sane.

A problem is that japanese devs don't know much about making games appeal to the western gamers and design them for their own market.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on January 03, 2009, 04:41:32 AM: In some cases japanese developers are still tops with the west. Fighting games for example are still a Japanese dominated genre. Capcom has a stable of franchises and games that are still highly competitive in the west.

Of course, with Namco Bandai recently creating the western oriented Surge publishing label, you can clearly see that they're worried about losing touch with the western markets exactly like you say they are in danger of doing KDR.

Square Enix also just recently opened up a US studio to make games for the western markets. They see the sinking ship in Japan and want to make sure they are still viable if it actually goes under.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on January 06, 2009, 01:38:48 PM: A lot of popular videogames in North America are from Japanese developers and were designed probably with the Japanese audience in mind but still were popular in North America because they were good. Was Nintendo designing Mario and Zelda specifically for North America? What about Capcom with Mega Man, Street Fighter or Resident Evil? Namco with Tekken and Pac-man? Konami with Castlevania and Metal Gear?

There are certain genres that just don't fly in North America but there are tons that do and most Japanese third parties should have 20 years of experience in knowing what's what. So when they decide to make a game, before they make it they just have to ask their American branch "hey would you guys typically bother localizing this?" If they answer "yes", make it, if they don't then make something else. They just have to look at what games they made for the Japanese market in the past was successful in North America and learn from that. They don't have to make first person shooters. We've got Western devs to do that and they'll do it better. Make the type of Japanese games that North American gamers love.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on January 06, 2009, 02:05:44 PM: The real danger here Ian is that while Japanese developers may be more or less in tune now the future is unclear. The non-Nintendo market is becoming more and more dependent on Western markets and increasingly radicalized and evolving Western sub-culture tastes. In the past, it was Japan that lead that cultural evolution, but more and more western gamers are molding their own aesthetic identities instead of following Japan's lead. Separated from that roiling and mutating target by the Pacific ocean, there's always the problem that Japanese developers may not be able to keep up.

I can definitely see your point about Japanese companies short-changing themselves. They have what it takes to define and redefine this industry, why aren't they attempting to take a leadership position now? They've got a deep reservoir of homegrown talent... Maybe they just aren't flexible enough? I don't know. The Japanese have virtually defined the console game market for a long time, but maybe the PC-ization of game architecture perpetuated by Microsoft has given Western developers an opening to attack.

There's still one Japanese company that's doing radically defining work in the console market though. Nintendo has stuck to its guns despite uproar from fans, including you and me. They're still designing games for no specific market other than "gamers from 5 to 95" and they're still, for all intents and purposes, a purely Japanese entity.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on January 06, 2009, 02:52:54 PM: For me I always preferred Japanese devs because they seemed to have some real pride in their work. Usually you were going to get a well-made game and it was likely going to be quite good as well. If it sucked it was often because the concept just wasn't so hot. To put it another way Japanese games always looked like they TRIED to be good but sometimes failed.

Western games however seemed to be have no interest in quality. If the game was good it was like a fluke. The developers managed to get something good in the time frame the publisher wanted. If they weren't able to get it done in time though, who cares, it went out anyway. Very corporate, assembly line game development. "Get it out by this month, I don't care if it's good or not." It's like a con. Trick the peasent into buying our junk or maybe it'll be good if they're lucky. The exceptions were usually arcade games as you can't make a junk arcade game or it won't attract any quarters. But with a home console game, once that is sold it doesn't matter if the customer is pleased. This wasn't quite as evident on the PCs and Western devs with Japanese publishers like Rare with Nintendo were not affected and followed more the Japanese model.

The Xbox did merge PC and console development and since the good Western devs were mostly PC developers it's no surprise that we've seen a comeback of sorts of Western devs on consoles. But I think Japan still has that edge and Japanese devs can use that to their advantage. American publishers just don't have the same amount of pride in their product. The devs might but the publishers don't care.

Wow, I totally get what you're saying and agree with it on a gut level. I don't know if it's reality, but emotionally I feel the same thing sometimes. It's almost as if you can tell with games whether someone, somewhere, actually loved it and really, really, pushed it to be all it could be, even if it didn't turn out so hot in the end.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: GoldenPhoenix on January 06, 2009, 03:48:28 PM: Western Developers have no drive for quality? Can't believe what I'm hearing, Western Developers have actually innovated stale designs especially with genres like the RTS, RPG (games like Fallout 3 are AMAZING. Not to mention great console games like KOTRO1/2 along with Mass Effect), the sandbox genre, improvement of things like AI, the sports genre, and they've even contributed heavily to the platforming genre (with Rare being one example), not to mention the FPS genre. These are only a few things I see that illustrate the quality of Western developers, just because they have different focuses doesn't mean they don't any less about quality. Believe it or not, but Japanese developers are businesses as well so they are under the same restraints with some focusing more on quality than others, just like any western developer.

Western PUBLISHERS don't and your examples are all recent. I was talking about in the past before MS merged PC and console development. And I mentioned that PC's seemed to be the exception as well as companies like Rare working for a Japanese publisher.

I challenge you to list me great non-Japanese console games from the post-crash era, prior to the arrival of the Xbox that are not published by a Japanese company and are not console ports of an arcade game. You will be able to list some but they will not even compare to their Japanese contemporaries. Until last gen, Japan ruled the consoles.

Look at the big western third party publishers:
EA
Ubisoft
THQ
Activision
Atari
Midway
2K Games

Do you associate ANY of those with consistent quality? I don't. I would never buy a game based on these names on the case but I will take an extra look if Konami, Capcom or Nintendo are involved.

Post by: Deguello on January 09, 2009, 01:57:04 AM: If you really want to see disparity between Eastern and Western developers, take a look at handhelds.

Japanese devs treat the DS like it is its own legitimate platform, worthy of time and effort. Western devs treat it like a movie license dump. Is it any surprise the best handheld games of all time are from Japan, and the mind struggles to even think of ONE relevant Western DS, GBA, or hell even GB game either in reviews, sales, or hype?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on January 09, 2009, 03:29:41 AM: Well, Soul Bubbles did well in reviews but it failed in the market. Among the games in my bag the only western ones (besides Soul Bubbles) are Brothers in Arms DS (B-grade port job), Barnyard Blast (B-grade sidescrolling platformer), Glory Days 2 (niche game, commercial flop and mediocre reviews I think), Speed Racer (I assume it's a western game, fared pretty well in reviews but judging by the pricedrops it got not in the market) and (not currently in the bag but would get moved there before I go on the commute again) Elements of Destruction (5€, need I say more?).

So yeah, the overall impression of western DS games is not very positive. There are a few niche efforts but that's pretty much it.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: GoldenPhoenix on January 09, 2009, 04:09:50 AM: The trouble with using publishers like EA, THQ and 2K as examples of "publishers not caring because they don't scream quality" is they are MASSIVE and publish a ton of stuff, while Japanese publishers have much less publishing power so they need to pick and choose which may or may not be a good thing. With publishers like EA there is a higher chance of a gem, that may be otherwise ignored, to be released. Also a few more western games I can think of is the MK series (From the SNES/Genesis era), Turok 1 and 2, Factor 5's SNES games (weren't amazing but they were solid), and Star Tropics which was made by a western developer even though Nintendo published it. Not to mention the sports games which had various gems here and there throughout the generations. Also Medal of Honor was once a quality series that burnt itself out. Hmm we also had the THQ AKI wrestling titles. Hmm let's see, we also had Ubisofts Rayman games which were once great platformers. Earthworm Jim was a good series as well that was a western game. Lucasart's also made some quality Star Wars titles for various systems. I have no doubt I'm missing several other quality western published titles.

I think if anything the reason for the Japanese dominating the consoles is because Western developers were mostly focusing on PC. This is mainly due to the fact that console gaming since Atari crashed has been dominated by Japanese made consoles. We have to realize that their have been hundreds if not THOUSANDS of clunkers coming from Japanese publishers as well. Every single publisher out there NEEDS to watch out for profit first, it isn't just the western developers. Japanese publishers for the most part need to be more careful and not take as many risks or they could start hurting really fast while an EA can take many more chances and in turn open it up for far more failures.

Of course there are tons of great home console and PC games from western developers but they treat the handhelds as inferior systems that get crappy "ports" (that really have little to do with the original) of PC/HC games or birdman-style "casual" games (Ponyz 2...). Few make original and high quality titles for handhelds.

The NES wasn't bundled with SMB/Dunk Hunt until November 1988. When the system was released in 1985 there were two versions of it--$199 would get you the system w/ SMB and $249 would get you Duck Hunt (w/ Zapper) and Gyromite. Wanna guess which bundle sold better? ;D

It probably always will be too, as that was before Nintendo realized they could re-release their games separately rather than in a package deal and people would still buy them.

15th January 2009. Continued strong demand for Wii and Nintendo DS in 2008 has resulted in record sales for both consoles in Europe.

Sales of Wii continued on their upward trajectory – with over 8.3 million units sold in 2008 alone, a 58% increase on 2007 and the largest annual sales of home consoles in European gaming history. These sales take the total installed base of Wii in Europe to more than 14.2 million.

In its third year on the market, Nintendo DS continues to break all previous sales records. In 2008 over 11.2 million Nintendo DS consoles were sold – which is the largest ever annual sales of a gaming console in European history. This takes the total number of Nintendo DS consoles now sold to European consumers to over 31 million.

“The sales trend on both Wii and Nintendo DS, hardware and software during 2008 shows that more and more people in Europe are enjoying video games as part of their daily lives. This proves that Nintendo’s wish to expand the gaming population has strong potential in Europe,” said Laurent Fischer, Managing Director, Marketing & PR, Nintendo of Europe.

The Wii comes in a close second at 2150k units, but the Playstation family manages to beat it by a mere 6k units! That's gotta really suck for Nintendo, who is no longer the Market leader.

At least the DS is doing well in the handheld market where it is running unopposed at 3040k

Nintendo still has the handheld market at least! But unfortunately, the Playstation Family™ is still number one when it comes to consoles...

The DS *IS* hardcore gaming. It's like the SNES reborn.

I really don't want to get into an argument about how wrong this is based on how subjective the hardcore/casual bullshit "debate" is. It would be very easy to point out that A) The DS has more girls and women and casuals and grannies playing it than the Wii and B) Nintendo themselves has made a higher portion of of "hardcore" games on the Wii than the DS. Yet somehow the Wii gets stuck with the label and gets several editorials and posts describing in detail its destruction of everything "hardcore," while the only thing the DS did was endure these very same insults for two additional years. SNES Reborn is a mighty fine trick for something considered the Virtual Boy Reborn (by EGM, heh) for the first 2 years.

About sales, it's a shame the Wii didn't beat the PS2's record for monthly sales. And ironically because it's actually selling too damn fast. I'd say it's pretty much "console war over" right now.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on January 16, 2009, 09:35:35 AM: "console war over" implies there ever was a war. Well, okay, there still is a war between MS and Sony. Nintendo wasn't fighting in any war, they just went off and took everything without a fight.

To use an RTS metaphor, MS and Sony are throwing wave after wave at each others' main bases, Nintendo moved its forces out of its own a long time ago and was declared dead for it but now they're grabbing all the expansions MS and Sony haven't taken (or even abandoned) while the other two have almost mined all the resources in their main and spent it on defenses or failed attacks. It's just a matter of time until they realize their situation and punch in "gg".

Does this mean that Nintendo should take this chance to forge exclusive deals with third parties or acquire second party studios?

Buying their way to superficial success by buying exclusives and big budget male-centric advertising will not work as well as it used to. They'll have to rely on MERIT.

"It seems more and more people are enjoying games instead of traveling or eating out to save money," said Iwata. However, he realizes that the current recession is a rare occurrence and stated that Nintendo is closely watching the market. "Nintendo workers who know only the good times of the company are increasing," Iwata admitted, "I hope to give them a sense of the potential critical nature [of the economic situation]."

Post by: Mop it up on January 24, 2009, 12:12:44 AM: Words words words. What Nintendo says and what they actual do are sometimes two very different things. Besides, just because they're cautious now so soon after becoming the market leader doesn't mean all of that success won't go to their head at some point in the future.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Deguello on January 24, 2009, 12:26:45 AM: "Market Leader Arrogance" is a common news storyline trope usually started by the supporters of the trailing consoles. Anything that can be taken as an arrogant slight will be interpreted as such in the coming years. But in reality, very few times does a market leader exhibit such arrogance. In fact, only recently when Sony basically demanded their fans get two jobs to buy a PS3 and said they made it hard to program for the PS3 on purpose for some reason.

Nintendo probably won't exhibit such stupidity in the future. The only reason Nintendo's dominance would be considered "scary" is if you are one of those "Competition is always good" guys that neglects to mention how prices for everything from systems to games unilaterally went up despite the "competition" between Microsoft and Sony. (this was when Nintendo wasn't even considered a contender.)
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on January 24, 2009, 12:36:26 AM: Nintendo sticking with cartridges for the Nintendo 64, that wasn't arrogance? They made a system which was difficult to develop for, and the games were more expensive than those available on other systems. They assumed that companies would make games for it and people would buy it because they were the market leader going into that generation.

This is the kind of thing which could happen yet again. If Nintendo refuses once more to upgrade the hardware of their next home console and either Sony or Microsoft makes a strong showing with a system that attracts Nintendo's new found costumers, they could easily steal the market from them.

Not necessarily true because Nintendo will have brand recognition which goes a long way to helping them (then again it isn't a sure thing). It is kind of like the iPod, there are "better" MP3 players out there but Apple still has strong brand recognition. Also I think you are mixing stubbornness with arrogance. Nintendo stuck with cartridges because they felt it was the best medium for what they were trying to do with video games. Cartridges were a proven success and they stuck with them. Sony on the other hand crammed lots of expensive hardware into the PS3 and tried to use it as a means of pushing their Blu-ray market agenda, not really gaming.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on January 24, 2009, 12:53:18 AM: It's a mixture of stubbornness and arrogance. Cartridges cost more than CDs to manufacture and they passed that cost unto the consumer. They figured people would pay that extra amount for Nintendo's games.

Nintendo had brand recognition with the Nintendo 64 as well (maybe not as much as they do now, especially the Wii name), and it didn't really help them against the newbie PlayStation.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_Lindy on January 24, 2009, 01:18:07 AM: Nintendo also didn't want to give up the big royalties associated with cartridges. Let's just say that the N64 using cartridges was NOT done with third-party developers in mind. It was fine for Nintendo since they made the system, but third-parties were told to make do. Instead of making do, they made their way over to the PS2. I wouldn't classify that as arrogance; it's more self-interest. But then, Nintendo is a corporation, so self-interest is their job just like any other corporation.

What Nintendo has done is basically get the budget consumer on the front end instead of the backend. People that are on the fringe, and wouldn't have bought a PS3 or 360 until they came way down in price to the $200 range, already have a Wii. They effectively took the previous generation's business model and used it against Sony and Microsoft.

The funny thing is that even last generation they stomped Sony and MS profit wise as well. They may not have sold as many systems but they won in the territory that really matters.

In regards to arrogance, I think they had it during the NES/SNES era but that was (thankfully) shortlived where they bullied publishers around. I hate to defend carts but I honestly cannot imagine a game like Mario 64 being quite the same game on CD. People like to slam carts now, but they had (and still have) benefits that media like CDs/DVDs/Bluray do not, ESPECIALLY in the era of PS One where the technology was relatively new. Nintendo did what many companies did they stuck with what worked for them, and were most comfortable with. If I recall Miyamoto had quite a bit to say about the usage of cartridge again as well.

Sure, in retrospect, it wasn't a good move for the most part but I can UNDERSTAND Nintendo's position at the time. Nintendo's gaming lively hood was based upon the cartridge format all the way up to N64, why change then? Sony came at it from the perspective of a hardware manufacturer who had no real format they were "experienced" with so they chose CD. It is kind of funny though, in handhelds, it is the reverse, the "CD" systems flaws are hurting it while the cart based one has its format helping it.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on January 24, 2009, 03:26:14 AM: Cartridges seemed like the best idea back then if you look at what came before: The Sega CD, TurboGrafX CD and CDi were flops, throwing mostly badly done FMVs at the games without real improvement while having drastically longer load times than carts. Of course now we've seen that the PS1 didn't suffer the same fate but could Nintnedo have known that back then?

Anyway, it's not relevant for the Wii. Nintendo knows that mobility has given them this advantage and to keep it they have to keep outmaneuvering their competition. They might get complacent if Sony and MS make their next system another graphics update instead of really attacking Nintendo as that would leave Nintendo without competition but Sony or MS aren't simply going to turn the tables on Nintendo this gen or even next gen.

That is another good point, CD based systems did not fair all that well back in the PS One days. It is kind of funny though I preferred the cart format to the CD format, I appreciated the fast paced, non-loading gaming experiences along with the ability to save directly to the cart. Many PSone games, while there were some stellar titles, were hampered because of the constant loading. It ruined the flow of games for me far too often.

You are wrong in several respects:

1) The Wii is a hardware improvement over the GC. It may not be as big of a leap in graphics as the PS3 was over the PS2, but it is an improvement nonetheless.

2) Graphics are reaching a point where they are nearly indistinguishable from reality. They're not quite there just yet, but its close enough that graphics improvements just don't matter anymore. They mattered in previous generations when you have pixelated sprites and so forth, but from this generation on the area of graphics are completely irrelevant.

3) Has the fact the Wii lacks HD graphics kept it from selling out like crazy since launch? I rest my case.

Yeah. Even though the N64 was outsold by the PS1, it did beat the 3DO, Saturn, Jaguar, and whatever other systems may have existed way back then. So the PS1 was the ONLY system that managed to beat it, and that meant the N64 was in second place, which isn't really that bad of a thing really....

Plus it did generate profit for Nintendo, and even to THIS day the 1st party lineup is regarded as A+++ material. Depending on who you ask, many people will tell you the N64 Zelda and Mario 64 were the GREATEST GAME of all time. Those games sold extremely, and are still insanely popular today. Sure, 3rd party support for the N64 left much to be desired, but all in all the N64 library was top notch.

As for the PS1, sure its library was larger and it did sell more systems, but how many PS1 games are still being played today? Aside from Final Fantasy, probably not many at all. The PS1's library was made up of crappy 3rd party filler for the most part, and today these games are sitting unused in boxes or tossed carelessly into landfills, because they aren't worth the plastic they're etched on.

And as for the load times and all that, imagine if Super Mario 64 or Zelda 64 were on CDs rather than carts. Imagine the ridiculously long load times that would cause... and if that were the case, would those games be regarded as highly as they are because they were on carts instead? Also, in addition to the load times, carts don't get easily scratched, cracked, or destroyed like a disc can.

It wasn't even like they were pushing a new format, it was their tried and true format. On a side note it is funny though when you think back, when they ported RE2 to the N64 it was a stunning achievement because of the size restraints. Now you can fit half of a CD on a cartridge that fits in the palm of your hand.

But people never disrespected ground breaking games like Mario 64, Zelda: OOT, Goldeneye and various others. The disrespect was directed more to the limited amount of games and the limitations of the cartridges compared to a medium that was finally proven with PS One.

1. I'll believe that when I see a Wii game which has better graphics than GCN games. Not even Super Mario Galaxy looks like something which the GameCube couldn't handle.

2. They've got a ways to go still. I want graphics so realistic that I look out a window and say "Those graphics suck! I'm going to go play my XBox 1080".

Post by: Chozo Ghost on January 24, 2009, 03:33:06 PM: Maybe most games don't look much better than the typical GC game, but the hardware capability to do better is there. Maybe its not being utilized completely, but in leaked specs for the Wii it was revealed that the Wii is 1.5 to 2 times more powerful than the GC was. It was a much faster processor, and has improvements in RAM and the GPU and so on.

I know it isn't a BIG leap in improvement, I'm just saying it is an improvement nonetheless. And to be fair, the GC itself never really seen its capabilities fully utilized either. Don't blame the system; blame the developers.

The more I think about it, I may have been wrong about Super Mario Galaxy. It has a few effects which the GameCube probably would have stumbled with, such as the shiny smooth rocks on that fire galaxy. It's been a couple months since I've played it. Still, I don't feel the Wii has justified its lack of any significant hardware upgrade, but I suppose this isn't the topic for that.

Perhaps I should change my statement. If Nintendo's next console isn't a significant upgrade in hardware, they could be in trouble if Sony or Microsoft makes a system that rivals Nintendo's control methods with super crazy awesome graphics and the games to back it up. The graphical gap between the two would be even greater than it already is. Again though, the more I think about it, it probably won't happen. Microsoft and especially Sony don't seem to want to go that route.

1. I'll believe that when I see a Wii game which has better graphics than GCN games. Not even Super Mario Galaxy looks like something which the GameCube couldn't handle.

Diminshing returns. The system has twice the power but the visible difference is practically nil. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there but nintneod dd figure that differences are getting too costly now.

2. They've got a ways to go still. I want graphics so realistic that I look out a window and say "Those graphics suck! I'm going to go play my XBox 1080".

You know how much it would cost to implement that in a game? The hardware might be affordable but getting the data in there to use it costs big money and it's already hard to break even on HD games. At your desired level a company would make a blockbuster, it'd sell many millions, define new standards, make everyone gaze in amazement... and the company would go bankrupt.

Last I checked the increased graphical output brought no substantial increase in enjoyment or popularity of the games. It's nice to have but the effort that goes into the game to make all that is in no relation to the resulting improvement.

Quote
3. It will matter if Sony or Microsoft makes a system that rivals Nintendo's control methods and the games to back it up. They probably won't... but then again, anything can happen.

They have neither the motivation nor the ability to do that so talking about what if is a bit like talking about what if rocks suddently fell upwards.

Besides, in the new market values graphics have a very insignificant role. Releasing a Wii with better graphics won't do much but it'd cost more to make. Making the games to back both the new values and the improved graphics up will be both hard and expensive.

Additionally, the next Nintendo system won't be a Wii with slightly improved hardware, there's no point in that. Nintendo seeks previously ignored values that can easily be improved massively instead of pushing already pushed values even further with higher and higher force needed to make them move. Just as a Wii with better graphics wouldn't work for Sony or MS it wouldn't work for Nintendo either. It's not a real increase of value to the potential customers and the value to the customer is what matters, not the objective total value of the product (as Sony learned the hard way).

Anyway, this is a completely pointless slinging of what-ifs. What matters is now, not then.

Post by: Mop it up on January 24, 2009, 04:59:35 PM: My second comment was facetious.

Are you saying the next Nintendo console won't have any hardware upgrade at all? There's a scary thought. There's more to hardware than simply graphics, there are also more complex artificial intelligence scripts, more intricate game physics, more moving objects on screen, etc. These things can bring new experiences to gaming as well. Simply changing control input isn't enough; why can't the next Nintendo console give us both? Why couldn't Wii have given us both? And yeah, there's the "It costs too much" argument, but Nintendo makes a profit on each system sold and huge profits on game sales so they could have easily afforded it.

Not sure how online play could benefit, unless you are talking visually. Have you not played CoW: WaW or MOH2? Not to mention the controller itself, I can't imagine playing a game like NMH, heck even MP3 on the other consoles.

Seriously though, all you need to do is look at Nintendo's profit margins for the last 10 years, I think they know how to run a business more then anyone here. Most of their consoles they make profits on, the Wii is no different and guess what, they are the market leader by a TON. Which is why all the angst is getting annoying. If you want pretty HD graphics get a Xbox 360/PS3, I personally like BOTH because they offer different gaming experiences.

Also I still can't get over the fact you said Galaxy could be done on GC. I don't recall any GC game looking nearly as great as Galaxy which even rivaled some of the early generation 360 games. Heck some of the bosses looked CGI.

Alot of this is stuff most Japanese developers don't even worry about, heck look at MGSIV. The AI is still extremely stupid and the physics are so-so. Nintendo has never and WILL NEVER be about those things.

Also I think people discount the Wii's hardware way to often, even at the $250 price point most analysts suggested that they were BARELY making a profit. The Wii's hardware had these things in addition to the modest hardware upgrade:

1. An integrated menu system for different functionality
2. Wifi (Big deal considering the 360 doesn't even have that)
3. Internal flash memory
4. Ability to download various games and applications to the system
5. Compact and energy efficient design (not to mention extremely durable because they didn't cheap out on the quality of components)
6. Motion controls and pointer functionality
7. Packed in game
8. Much more capable hardware for online gaming (Most of the less than stellar online experiences are more due to inexperience in online design then the hardware)
9. DVD based
10. USB device support along with SD card support.

Microsoft and especially Sony don't seem to want to go that route.

Sony and MS might match Nintendo's control scheme and greatly surpass them in graphics quality, but where they would fail to match Nintendo is in price. Nintendo's console launched $249, which is far less than the $699 or whatever it was the PS3 launched at. I'm sure the Wii's innovative controls have a LOT to do with the system's success, but the more reasonable price than its competitors probably has just as much to do with their success.

When you beef up graphics it makes the system more expensive, so Nintendo would have either had to sell it at a loss or charge a few hundred dollars more for it. But instead, they decided to shoot for only modest improvements and that way they were able to keep the price low and still make a profit. It was a very smart move from their perspective, and it has guaranteed Nintendo is going to be in the console making business for at least several more generations to come.

Even if Sony and MS copy Nintendo's control ideas (and I'm certain they will) as long as their system's cost 2 or 3 times as much it doesn't matter to the average gamer whether the graphics are better or not. The average parent is not wealthy and will not spend 500+ dollars on what is essentially a toy for their kids. And the truth is the more graphically powerful system has almost always come in second or last place. The only exception was when the SNES beat the Genesis, but that was the closest battle of all time. If graphics were so important, why is the Wii number one now? Why was the PS2 number one last time? Why was the PS1 with its 32 bit graphics leading the N64 with its 64 bit graphics? etc...

I took back what I said about Mario Galaxy. I was so engrossed by the gameplay that the graphics didn't really leave an impression on me, so after I thought about it some I remembered some details about it that couldn't have been done on GameCube.

I think I need to play Galaxy again as I'm sure there are some details I overlooked the first time. :)

I don't really care that much about graphics in the technical sense, otherwise I wouldn't have a Wii (and only a Wii). I guess I may be giving that impression by complaining about the lack of a significant hardware upgrade, but, well... it is still something I would have liked to see. Style over specs is what I appreciate though; I don't care how many people knock games like Paper Mario or The Wind Waker, such people are blinded to the beauty of those games.

The thing is, games which don't use the features of Wii are basically the same as GameCube games. Take Super Smash Brothers Brawl as an example: doesn't use Miis, doesn't use the Wii controller's features at all. Besides the online play, it would have been no different as a GameCube game, save maybe a few slight decreases in graphics. This is a game which could have benefited from better hardware.

I realize the Wii has many components but I still think Nintendo could have made a more significant hardware upgrade without breaking the bank. They make most of their profits on game sales so don't tell me they can't afford it. They might have taken a slight loss at first but by now they'd be making a little profit on it, especially since they have no need to lower the price and probably won't for a while. It's also the long term I worry about. Have we seen the best graphics the Wii can do in Mario Galaxy? Where can Wii go from here?

I'd quote your whole response but I don't want to make a quote train! I actually agree with you about SSB:B, in fact I brought up the very same point about SSB:B. Here we had a new system with new features along with a brand new controller and it was like they didn't even try to utilize the features that make Wii, well the Wii. Even Mario Kart Wii falls into this same realm. So I agree with you.

In regards to system power, I think there will be more progress with the Wii, heck the Conduit is showing that there is quite a bit left in the system visually. Now it will run up against a wall sooner than PS3 or 360 but still I think we will soon improvements. My guess is that the next Wii system will be equal in power to the 360 or PS3, which is fine with me considering that the visuals are at such a high level now and Nintendo should have free roam to create some really great looking games.

Post by: NWR_Lindy on January 25, 2009, 12:47:15 PM: When I think of a game that can't be done on the Wii but I wish it could, I think of LittleBigPlanet. That's the kind of concept I'd love to see from Nintendo. I just think of what Miyamoto could do with that concept - full online integration, user-created levels, four-player co-op - and start frothing at the mouth.

To me, LBP is what I wish Super Mario Galaxy would have been. SMG is an amazing game, don't get me wrong, but it's still fairly "inside the box" in terms of what the Mario series has done in the past. Aside from the semi co-op, you're still one character running through a 3D world solving puzzles suspended in space. The overall core game concept hasn't expanded much. When you see what's being done on other consoles in terms of co-operative play and other online functionality, it really makes you wish that Nintendo was a little more committed to online gameplay.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on January 25, 2009, 01:00:44 PM: I don't think Mario Galaxy was meant to be unlike anything before, it's a Mario game and people want Mario from those.

Also user created content means you play the ideas of the users, not the ideas of the game maker. I think Miyamoto on the project wouldn't be very helpful because you wouldn't play his ideas. For "user" ideas I'd rather get an indie game because when you make your own game you are not constrained by the limits of the game you're making levels for.

At the rate that network hardware is going and improved hardware does jack on improving online play, excellent netcode can make or break a game. Many ISPs are stingy with the amount of bandwidth and speed they offer to residential customers at a decent rate so even if you play on Wi-Fi it doesn't really affect the speed if you play with an ethernet connection(with an exception of movie streaming and large downloads but that's a given). When I was playing Battalion Wars II with Nick last night we were amazed how fluid everything was it felt like the game was 60 FPS and I never experienced any lag at all considering how much goes on during an online game.

If you want to see an example of how bad netcode can wreck an online mode Super Smash Bros Brawl is sadly the perfect example where games slow to a crawl and how sometimes matches can be so unstable. When I picked up Castlevania Judgement I was surprised how little lag there was in that game and CV:J is a lower budget game.

I agree with KDR's response to this. Miyamoto make LittleBigPlanet? *boggle* He'd probably make it something COMPLETELY different. Miyamoto's games are carefully crafted Japanese gardens, not sandboxes. Western style development is all based around sandboxes and simulations. Miyamoto has never been about that. He's always about evoking a very specific feeling... at least, that's the way I see it.

Sure, LBP is something awesome, but I really think wishing Nintendo made it is naive, the same way thinking that Paper Mario should be more like Final Fantasy is naive. I really believe that Nintendo would take the same concept and take it somewhere else entirely... and Ian would back me up on that.

It was a fresh experience and I'd take Mario Galaxies well designed, and innovative worlds over LBP's user created content.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on January 26, 2009, 03:56:41 AM: Yeah, generally games have to be designed for their player number, the environment must give both players something to do. Couldn't make a game that's only about traversing platforms coop because there's no work split, everybody has to do the same things. Puzzles will need a specific design too since many singleplayer puzzles would be broken if players could be at two locations at the same time. The game must be designed so multiple players can do meaningful things at the same time while also interacting with each other but it also must allow playing singleplayer so the main content must not require having two coordinated players (unless you want to give the player an AI helper that will most likely only annoy him).

I'd consider 26,000 a pretty big failure in that market. They have GOT to be depending on overseas sales.

It probably did if you count garage sales, flea markets, and Ebay.... plus all the hardware clones of the system, which are now actually legal thanks to the patents having expired.

I wonder if hardcore titles follow the traditional curve on the Wii or the Wii curve... Then again Fragile is said to be a pretty flawed game so word of mouth might work against it.

Actually 26,000 is really good when you consider the fact that Namco only shipped around 30 - 35K copies. Not to mention according to people on Neo GAF who are living in Japan, the game had no advertising either.

So in reality, Fragile could be considered a success since Namco sent it out to die with no advertising and low shipments. In other words, it's another example of a third party creating a self-fulfilling prophecy on the Wii by doing all they can to make sure their games fails.

Why not? That's pretty much the method Sony used to claim they sold over 100 million PS2s.

World Wide as of December 31, 2008, lifetime sales figures were as follows:

1. Nintendo DS - 96.22 million
2. Nintendo Wii - 44.96 million
3. Xbox 360 - 28.5 million*
4. PlayStation 3 - 21.3 million

*At the time of its Q4 FY 2008 results, which covered April 1 to June 30, 2008, Microsoft noted that it had shipped 1.3 Xbox 360s million during that period, but did not specify sales. However, this figure was included in determining the Xbox 360's lifetime sales as Microsoft announced that the console had sold 28 million units as of December 31.

Worldwide lifetime sales figures for the PlayStation 2 and PSP are not available, as Sony only began reporting sales, not shipments, following the launch of the PS3.

PS3 is actually very close to the 360 but Wii smoked the 360 pretty fast.

Aren't PS3 sales trending with GC sales? It may be like that situation where the 360 ends up staying ahead.

After awhile, you think they would buy a PS3 or a gaming PC to play their game.

Or, you know, at least get a free replacement under warranty...

Switching to PS3 won't keep your game library (arguably you could use TPB to keep them on the PC) which can easily be worth more than the system itself (70€ games on a system that cost me 200€? If I had any substantial library on the thing I wouldn't want to give those up either)

While that's true the failure rate is very low probably the same failure rate as Wii has which is below 5%.

I would like to think that with all the hulabaloo MS has went through with their rings of death and spending a fortune replacing systems that they've addressed the failure rate at this point. If they haven't then by all means they should be boycotted, but if they've improved the situation then people should accept their free replacement and got on with it.

Microsoft still hasn't addressed the RROD issues and the E errors I know someone that's on their 11th 360 which is just INSANE. Every one keeps thinking that when Microsoft makes a new model with a revamped chip set it will fix it however they will get RRODs. Also now all people that bought a 360 during launch period doesn't have the RROD protection anymore and I know my RROD protection will run out this June :-\.

Sales-tracking groups NPD, GfK Chart-Track Limited and Enterbrain today issued the latest Top Global Markets report, revealing the best-selling console games in the world's three largest markets--United States, United Kingdom and Japan--across 2008.

1. Mario Kart Wii (Wii / Nintendo) - 8.94M
(5M US, 1.94M UK, 2M Japan)
2. Wii Fit (Wii / Nintendo) - 8.31M
(4.55M US, 1.61M UK, 2.15M Japan)
3. Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3, 360 / Rockstar North) - 7.29M
(5.18M US, 1.85M UK, 256K Japan)
4. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii / Nintendo) - 6.31M
(4.17M US, 404K UK, 1.75M Japan)
5. Call of Duty: World at War
(PS2, PS3, 360, Wii, DS / Treyarch, Rebellion, n-Space) - 5.89M
(4.46M US, 1.43M UK, 0 Japan)

Combined, the US, UK and Japanese console software market grew 11% in 2008, selling 409.9 million units over 2007's 367.7 million. The United States was responsible for more than 268.4 million--65%--of the 409.9 million units sold during 2008.

Total UK and Japanese sales figures were not provided.

Overall, the US market grew 15%, the UK's grew 26%, and Japan saw a 13% decline due to shrinking PS2 sales and lower portable sales.

To further break down the growth of software, US sales grew 22% in home consoles and 2% in portables, while the UK saw a 30% boost in home console software and a 6% portable jump.

The next round of consoles will have to be as small as a portable, PORTABLE, and have TV-hookup capability.

Wow, that would really suck. If they hooked up to a TV then I'd just play them like that. But portables SUCK for multiplayer since everyone has to own one. A lot of devs just don't bother to implement it at all. You're also limited on the controller options. No one has put analog sticks on a portable yet. Analog nubs sure but not something, you know, good. Plus if they design the games for a portable they have to have big text and sacrifice graphic detail that won't show up on a tiny screen (and that lack of detail will likely look like pixelated crap on a TV). The whole thing would just be a huge compromise to gaming as we know it.

Seems inevitable in some way though. These days someone like me who watches video on TVs, listens to music on big speakers and uses a desktop PC is like mister oddball while everyone is hooked into their Blackberry or iPhone.

Though there is one issue with it. Old people can't see or hear worth a ****. Considering that's now part of Nintendo's market moving to only portables might turn off that market.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on February 11, 2009, 03:47:23 PM: Well, if it hooked up to a tv then I don't see why it couldn't have a bluetooth thing built into it and then you could use controllers with it so that others could play. That way each player would only need to own a controller rather than the console/porrtable.

But then in an instant the console could be unplugged from the tv and it would revert back to portable mode. This is what I see happening in the future.

And I hate to break it to YOU, but a revolving joystick isn't the same thing as an analog stick. Joysticks are digital and don't respond to how much you push on them. Remember in Super Mario 64 how moving it a hair would make Mario tip-toe, but moving it a lot would make him run? Well, a revolving joystick isn't like that. For them its either all or nothing.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Spak-Spang on February 12, 2009, 12:48:35 AM: His point is that if the NeoPocket can have that joystick a portable can easily have an analog stick on it. Actually, Imagine that Joystick on a Nintendo DS and include analog controls would be awesome.

There's a clear difference between handheld sales and console sales. I wouldn't say its dead NOW, but its definitely on the endangered species list.

Oh bah, at this point Nintendo heads the industry (console and portable), and dictates the trends. If people are still buying up Wiis like no tomorrow, then clearly people aren't tired of that kind of system. However, the brief age of the Xbox-size behemoth is over, and if Microsoft puts out another console it better be smaller. And quieter.

Damn, two weeks worth of sales and it didn't break 100K? Something not right here since just about anything with FF sells 100K+ just by being a brand name. The only review I found gave it an 8/10 so the can't couldn't have suck that bad? If RPG's don't sell on the WII in Japan they might not even get ported to the states. I wonder if you can download the game from WII store--if it was downloadable the charts might not be 100% correct.

Looks like Nintendo Wii is finally beating the Playstation Family™. I wonder how Sony fanboys and anti-Nintendo websites and magazines are going to spin these numbers. They can no longer say the "Playstation Family" is the market leader. The fact they combined all the Sony system sales together just goes to show how desperate they are to "prove" Sony is still in the lead. It isn't fair, because Nintendo doesn't get all their systems combined together for the "Nintendo Family". If they did, they'd have kicked the Sony family's ass for like the last 3 years.

What is also amazing is how Miyamoto could be such a genius about Wii Fit, and yet his other project Wii Music ended up being a massive failure. What went wrong there? How could he be so right about one thing but so wrong about another? Was it because Wii Music didn't bundle itself with a music-based peripheral? Maybe what makes Wii Fit so great isn't the game but the board itself. Wii Fit should have included SOMETHING.

Well from what I understand Miyamoto had much more to do with Wii Fit, and though I do like Wii Music, Wii Fit is a much more useful "game" not to mention better designed overall.

The dev interviews sounded like Miyamoto's only contributions were telling them to lose the (music) score display and increasing the song count from 10 to 50.

Glad to see COD:WaW WII hanging in the top 20.

I'll only be glad if this mean CoD:Modern Warfare 2 on Wii developed by Infinity Ward or hell Vicarious Visions(they did port Doom 3 on Xbox1 with good results), with an awesome online component that has Wii Speak support, and no modes cut out from the PS3/360/Mac(?)/PC versions.

VV didn't developer CoD:WaW on Wii, Treyarch's Wii team developed it.

Ahahaha nope, Activision's go to Wii team is basically anybody from Activision stable of development houses or a small game development company starving for a game contract.

Yeah, but that's because Capcom didn't release that game for the system which is the market leader. If they did, it would probably be rivaling M&L for the number 1 slot.

The only reason 360 sales are high is because of Star Ocean I still don't understand why doesn't Square just put it on the PS3 all RPG attempts in the US didn't get them great sales. FPS,FPA,TPS are pretty unpopular in Japan.

It's because Microsoft pays Square millions of dollars to release these games on it's system and keep them exclusive either for a limited time or indefinately. Actually, this is the reason why Microsoft even gets half of the support from Japanese developers that it does.

It's the classic Microsoft solution to everything. If you have a problem, just keep buying your way out.

You gotta hand it to MS, though. 99% of the time, that tactic works.

You all saw the ten-year profit report that was posted a few pages back, Microsoft's gaming division is in the hole by almost $7 billion. They are supposed to be business genii, right? Don't they realize you can't make money by buying things?

Is the solution of "buying everyone out" really worth it in this instance though? You all saw the ten-year profit report that was posted a few pages back, Microsoft's gaming division is in the hole by almost $7 billion. They are supposed to be business genii, right? Don't they realize you can't make money by buying things?

Sony is almost as bad as MS with money. Nintendo is the only company that has been fiscally (and profit wise) smart. There is no chance MS could even afford to buy Nintendo now, they are the richest company in Japan worth 10s of billions of dollars. I'd think at this point it would be more likely for Sony to be purchased by MS then Nintendo.

Yes, you can. As long as what you're buying will generate money or increase in value over time. That was their reasoning in purchasing Rare, after all. And even though the XBOX line has been hemhorraging money since day one, the theory is that one day it will pay for itself... but that will be a long way off (if ever). When you invest in something there's always a risk you won't make back your investment, but even if M$ doesn't, they're the wealthiest company on Earth and are still doing fine over all thanks to their monopoly on the computer industry.

There is nothing out, just wait until Wii Sports Resort comes.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Flames_of_chaos on March 06, 2009, 11:40:48 AM: Wii sales in Japan will rocket once Monster Hunter G and Monster Hunter Tri comes out. The two most popular Wii games that came out in the holiday season were Animal Crossing and Taiko no Tatsujin(Taiko Drummaster).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 07, 2009, 03:37:34 PM: I think its time for Nintendo to release some new colors for spring.
Maybe Black, Silver and Blue.

I did talk with a Nintendo customer service person the other day (getting a repair order for my Wii) and he did mention that alot of people have been asking for new colors. He forwarded a request for me asking for more colors (black) and said that if enough people request it, maybe it will happen sooner rather than later.

But maybe Nintendo should consider a MHTri Wii bundle to help boost sales in the meantime. It can come with that classic controller bundled in and have the MH logo on the side of the Wii to match the controller. I'm sure lots of people would buy a second Wii just for the limited edition run (and the included classic controller).

Post by: Mop it up on March 07, 2009, 05:14:31 PM: I'd like to see some new colours as well. In fact, I'm about to admit something so shameful that it must be spoiler'd:

Does anyone know of more accurate sales numbers than VG Chartz on this game?
VG places the numbers at a dismal 30k. I'm hoping that's Japanese sales and the first month of Wii sales have yet to be released.

Please sell good. This game is amazing.

I was referring to JPN, but I don't think Nintendo is gonna share the lime-lite with a 3rd party before they do it with DQIX & X
Not to nitpick or anything, but out of personal preference can we abbreviate my name as BNM? thanx
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BeautifulShy on March 10, 2009, 10:12:05 AM: I think MHThii is coming out before DQX.DQIX I heard was coming out in July.

So I expect a DQIX bundle.Maybe one for the DSi and DSLite.
Then perhaps a MH3 bundle then DQX BNM.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 10, 2009, 03:47:13 PM: I hope Nintendo is willing to take a risk on an important AAA 3rd party effort and bundle it in with the system to help ensure that it will see the success that it needs to have. If MH3 underperforms, that is gonna send out a major message to all other 3rd parties that were either sitting on the fence or just waiting to say "I told you so".

Nintendo has made enough money to make a limited run of about 200k MH3 Wii bundles with the limited edition classic controller inside all priced for less than what it would cost to buy them all separately.

Really? I always thought that one of the reasons the Japanese game market was so difficult for hardcore games was that hardcore gamers bought the games, beat em in days, then resold them back to the used games market almost instantly.

i wonder how many RE5 units were traded-in after a day.

I don't think trade-ins are allowed in Japan. They probably just put it on eBay and sold it to unwitting Americans.

Really? I always thought that one of the reasons the Japanese game market was so difficult for hardcore games was that hardcore gamers bought the games, beat em in days, then resold them back to the used games market almost instantly.
Kairon, you're right.
Japan doesn't have a game rental system, you have to buy the game either new or used if you want to play it.
Thats why 1st day & 1st week sales are usually very important unless a game has infinite replay value.

That's what I was thinking about. Not resales, but rentals. Sorry for the misinformation.

Well folks, I really wanted to revisit this game with you. I've even located a reasonably-priced used Japanese Wii. But game rentals are a no-no in Japan, and they want 4,800 yen (!) for a used copy of Luigi Mansion. That's, like, $50. W. T. F.

Plenty of other games are reasonably priced at that store. Is this some sort of cult favorite out in Japan? It's the same freaking price I paid for the North American version new in 2001--and I still own that copy! OoooOooh, Weegie so sad!

Nintendo... where are those new colors?
Maybe an earlier(and/or solid) release date for WiiSports Resort w/ M+

& just for fun, who do you think hits the next million mark 1st?
X360 - 956k = 54k to reach 1 million sold
or
PS3 - 2,894k = 106k to reach 3 million

Place your bets.
PS3 is the obvious favorite in this situation but...
With the way the Wii is selling, it might even be interesting to include that too

Wii - 7,815k = 185k to reach 8 million (a good game better come out soon for Wii to win)

I don't know, I'm not convinced that the Wii will be able to catch PS2 sales in Japan. I sometimes wonder whether the console market and portable market in that country have switched positions.

In the case of the DS, the reason it is being outsold now by the PSP is everyone and their grandmother has 5 of them at this point, and with Japan's population actually declining due to low birth rates, who is going to keep buying them? That said, I find it alarming that the DSi's sales figures aren't higher than they are. With its improved capabilities, it should at least be outselling the PSP when combined with DSL sales, but it isn't...

In the case of the Wii, I'm not surprised. Most of the top games for it came out in 2007 or early 2008. You can't go a year without great titles and expect to lead in sales. I guess the Wii is actually doing much better than it should. Nintendo REALLY needs to get new games out, and not just GC-ports or grandma mini-games.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Flames_of_chaos on March 14, 2009, 12:21:26 PM: I really doubt DS hit the saturation point in Japan but it's close. The reason why PS3 is selling well is because RE5, RE5 PS3 bundle, Yakuza 3, Yakuza 3 PS3 bundle. For PSP a dynasty warriors game came out and those games sell relatively well which will cause a bump in the hardware sales. Wii sales aren't doing that great is because there's nothing major coming out in Japan for the Wii for a few months.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on March 14, 2009, 12:42:09 PM: I remember Nintendo said they were going to avoid the system's first-year drought of games that had plagued the GC and N64, and it seems like they did that, but in their effort to avoid a first-year drought what they did was create a second-year drought, and I don't know if that has really gained them anything. They just pushed the release date of their big games forward, so now they've shot their load and there really isn't anything for them to push out until the next batch is ready (probably not until the end of this year, sadly).

Unfortunately, a lot of the progress Nintendo made with the Wii in regards to Market share has been squandered, and the PS3 and 360 are not sitting idle during this time, and they are gaining ground while Nintendo just sits on their thumbs. I guess Nintendo may have assumed that with as successful as the Wii became, it would have drew in major third party support and that would have filled this void, and by all rights that is what SHOULD have happened, but for some reason 3rd parties seem to hate NIntendo hardware, even if it is in the lead. Nintendo was probably counting on this 3rd party support to be here, and it should have been, but it isn't... and now they're hurting for it.

Nintendo was probably counting on this 3rd party support to be here, and it should have been, but it isn't... and now they're hurting for it.

I think that Nintendo made the best play they could be expected to make in the situation, and their gangbusters first year and a half has served them well. It's true that Nintendo is seeing, and perhaps even accepting, a year 2/2.5 drought, but that's vastly preferable to a year 1 drought. And of course, like you say, a lot of the cause for that is really out of Nintendo's ability to do much about: third parties simply are failing to step up to the plate in terms of consistent tentpole titles, and while Nintendo can support a console almost entirely by themselves, and in fact hasn't let up their support one bit, one company can only do so much.

Now, I'll be the first to point out that third parties are truly improving, and in fact I feel this is the best third party situation for Nintendo in generations. But it's also true that unlike the other consoles, it is Nintendo who's games are defining the Wii by catching unquestionable attention and pushing boundaries, and rarely third parties. I actually don't think this problem is as acute in Europe and America, but in Japan, especially with the shrinkage of the hardcore market there, and with the shift to the handheld arena, I feel that third parties are having an especially difficult time delivering on the home console market there.

However, I don't know if I'm quick to agree with the idea that Sony and MS are catching up in Japan. (I don't think they are elsewhere in the world either.) I suspect that Sony and MS in Japan are severely restricted to major hardcore game releases, and that makes their hardware sales successes short term. Nintendo, meanwhile, might only be slowing down with the Wii because they're actually on the tail-end of their successes, and that a new hit will drive the userbase for an extended "evergreen" period of time that's less drastic than the one-two week increases seen on other consoles, but more lasting.

... then again, that sorta sounds like the thing an analyst would say, so I could be wrong.

That lead isn't quite so much in Japan, which is what prompted this whole discussion. There the PS3 is now outselling the Wii, and even the 360 isn't too far behind.

Like I said, now it is being outsold by the PS3. I don't know why you two are arguing about this... the latest weekly sales figures shows the PS3 is leading, and the 360 is now only about 2,000 units behind.

Post by: BeautifulShy on March 15, 2009, 01:30:35 PM: Just looked at the last few pages of this thread.The PS3 has been beating the Wii the last few weeks but in the long run those sales aren't going to put much of a dent in the Wii's lead in Japan.
Keep in mind the PS3 and 360 got RE5. As I recall the RE series is a good seller in Japan. Wii doesn't have much in upcoming Wii games in Japan.So that is likely to be a factor.

Which happens to be exactly what I said, if you read my earlier post. I said the Wii is squandering their lead by now having a drought of new quality games, and this is allowing the PS3 and 360 to gain ground. It isn't completely Nintendo's fault, because games like Street Figher IV and RE5 absolutely SHOULD have been released on the Wii as well, even if the controls depended entirely on the classic controller. At least that would have been something.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on March 15, 2009, 05:57:51 PM: I think this is definitely a weak showing from Nintendo and a strong one from their competitors, that's for sure. Nintendo themselves have cited that the Japanese market hasn't lived up to their sales expectation recently (the NA and EU markets have though). The big N needs to figure out why the Japanese home console market is softening, and what they can do about it. I actually don't know of anything in the future that would revive the Wii in that market to insano levels short of MHTri (no, not that MH:G remake, the real one please) or DQX.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 15, 2009, 06:00:38 PM: Using rough estimated number that Nintendo has a 5mill lead on Sony 7 Sony is selling 40k PS3's a week

If Nintendo didn't sell another Wii starting now, Sony would have to continue to sell 40k PS3's a week for 125 weeks just to make up that 5 mill lead
That is almost 2 .5 years, meaning that Sony still would catch up till fall of 2011.

I'm pretty sure we aren't worried about Nintendo losing their massive lead so much as just that on a weekly basis they are being made to look weak in the market. 3rd party developers are looking for any reason to not support the Wii, so when Wii is barely outselling the 360 and being almost tripled in weekly sales by the PS3, that gives them something to base their biased views on.

Here's a classic Otome game. It's called Tokimeki Memorial (ときめきメモリアル) Girl's Side 1st Love Plus for the Nintendo DS and DSi. It's an updated version of Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 1st Love, a DS game which came out in March 2007. This is a classic dating simulation where you play the role of a female protagonist looking for love amongst a cast of cute guys, while juggling life in high school.

Nintendo’s Wii Play Surpasses 10 Million Units Sold in the United States

Wii Play™, a collection of nine mini-games, has now sold more than 10 million units in the United States alone since its debut in February 2007, according to figures released today by the independent NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States. Wii Play, now the top-selling software on all consoles and portable systems in the United States, comes packaged with a Wii Remote™ controller.

“Wii Play mini-games are fun and they get people playing together,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Even if you believe people are buying Wii Play solely for the controller, that indicates that there are now more than 10 million people who have an extra Wii Remote controller in their homes. When added to the 12.7 million Wii Remote controllers that have sold separately, this reinforces the growing ‘social gaming’ trend we have been seeing where friends and family use their Wii games as a social hub – both in person and online.”

Wii™ system sales were up about 74 percent over February 2008, and Wii and Nintendo DS™ finished February as the top-selling hardware systems. Wii sold nearly 753,000, bringing its lifetime U.S. sales to nearly 19 million, while Nintendo DS sold nearly 588,000 for a lifetime U.S. total of nearly 29 million.

Nintendo DS™ demonstrated continued strength, as “evergreen” games like Mario Kart™ DS (launched November 2005) and New Super Mario Bros.™ (launched May 2006) again placed among the top sellers for February. The strong showing for Nintendo DS hardware and software demonstrates continued consumer interest in the portable system as the United States preps for the April 5 launch of the Nintendo DSi™ system, the third iteration of the hardware.

Five games made for Nintendo systems finished in the top 10 best-sellers of February. These include Wii Fit™ at No. 1 with nearly 644,000 sold, Wii Play at No. 2 with nearly 386,000 sold, Mario Kart™ Wii at No. 6 with nearly 263,000 sold, Mario Kart DS at No. 8 with nearly 145,000 sold and New Super Mario Bros. at No. 9 with more than 144,000 sold.

Third-party Wii and Nintendo DS games also posted strong sales, with titles from LucasArts, Ubisoft, Majesco, Disney Interactive Studios, Electronic Arts and Activision/Blizzard all placing in the top 30 for the month.

& with no mention of SEGA in the 3rd parties placing in the Top 30, I think you all know what that means for HOTD. :(

Well according to VGchartz it has sold like 160k worldwide and 70k in the US. Give or take 20k and you should have a decent idea how the real sales were. Then again we still have to remember the slow but steady pace Wii games have sold over time.

Remember, just because games don't chart it doesn't mean they aren't selling.

Also I think people are just weary of plopping down $50 for a pretty standard length lightgun shooter. My guess is once the price is lowered to $30 it will sell quite well like the compilation did.

Yes, the compilation was a budget title aimed at people who are nostalgic towards the series thanks to it being everywhere. Overkill is definitely aimed at the core audience. I mean, the Grindhouse concept is pretty obscure and one only the niche can understand and accept.

I remember when VGChartz was created. If you're trying to be accurate, VGC isn't what you should use, they were using 1st day sales and trends to predict sales and correct them when more info is known. The only reason their number are close to final numbers because they are adjusted after the final number come out. They avoided(well tried to atleast) lots of scrutiny by not matching their numbers up exactly with official numbers, that's why no one takes their numbers seriously.

Except I've been watching them lately and their numbers for things under 250k or so are around 30k either way when final numbers are released and when you hit 900k or so they can be as much as 200k either way off. These HOTDO numbers don't sound unrealistic. VGchartz is alot like Wikipedia, you hear people scoff all the time at their reliability but rarely have the statistics to prove it is as reliable as the claims make them out to be.

The lesson that third parties will take away from this not going to be: Rail Shooters have a limited audience on the Wii, but that hard core games don't sell on the Wii.

But that is 25k off. That is a HUGE miscalculation. There are off by more than 50% of what it actually sold. 25k wouldn't be a big deal if we were talking 6-700k+ in total sales but when we are talking 45k, being 25k off is unacceptable lolworthy.

Twist it how you want but that is exactly how I explained it, not to mention the fact that these are probably from the beginning of the month, so it maybe far closer to that number then you may think. VGchartz does the best they can do with the limited information they have. They are accurate enough to determine (For the most part) if a game was a bomb, moderate success or success.

But the problem is that if if the price drops too low then the company won't be making much money off the game and may not be able to break even.

I guess. I'm still worried companies are going to look at the Feb Trio and decide good original 3rd party core games are not profitable on Wii.

The budget doesn't matter directly for the optimal price. It depends on how many people will buy it at each price.

But the problem is that if if the price drops too low then the company won't be making much money off the game and may not be able to break even.

Well, if you sell 100,000 copies at $50 then you've made $5 million.

However, if you lower the price down to $30 and this spurs sales forward and you sell like a million copies, then you've just made $30 million.

So even though a company makes less money per copy, they will still make more money as a whole due to selling far more copies. Far more people are willing to buy a game at $29,99 than they are at $49.99

I would point to Resident Evil 4. Here you have a game that was previously released at $49.99 on not one but two systems 2 years before its Wii debut. And despite it being a fairly old game, it sold extremely well and generated a lot of money for Capcom with its $29.99 price tag. Had Capcom released it on the Wii at $49.99 it wouldn't have been anywhere near as successful as it was.

Post by: Luigi Dude on March 21, 2009, 03:25:30 PM: Everyone has to remember that the House of Dead series is a lot more popular in Europe then America. Most of the sales for The House of the Dead 2/3 collection for the Wii came from Europe, and according to the European sales charts, Overkill is doing better at this point in it's life on the charts then 2/3 Collection did.

So even if it doesn't sell well in America, it doesn't matter since Europe is where the majority of The House of the Dead fanbase is and is where Sega should expect the most sales anyway.

With only one exception, multiplatform games on the list that had versions on all current-gen systems sold better on Wii than on PS3.

The only exception is Rock Band 2, which was released two months after the PS3 version and was still within 30k.
Rock Band 2 - 1.02M (360) 384k (PS3) 353k (Wii)

In 7 out of 10 instances on the list, the Wii version outsold the 360 version as well.

In 6 of those instances, the Wii version sold more than (or was tied with) the 360 and PS3 versions COMBINED.

Guitar Hero 3 - 2.37M (360) 830k (PS3) 2.75M (Wii)
Guitar Hero: World Tour - 924k (360) 466k (PS3) 1.39M (Wii)
Lego Indiana Jones - 241k (360), 142k (PS3), 456k (Wii)
Shaun White - 271k (360), 141k (PS3), 537k (Wii)
Sonic Unleashed - 113k (360), 69k (PS3), 315k (Wii)
Tiger Woods 09 - 216k (360), 174k (PS3), 565k (Wii)

Compared to the PS3, the Wii sold better
Star Wars Force Unleashed - 823k (360) 464k (PS3) 626k (Wii) 175k (DS) 263k (PSP) 352k (PS2)
Rock Band 1 - 1.65M (360) 648k (PS3) 1.03M (Wii)
So my question is, why do so many 3rd parties continue to ignore the Wii?
Imagine if RE5 had been released on all 3 platforms... do they think that over all sales might have been less? Would they have been embarrassed when the Wii version outsells one or both of the HD versions? ...combined?

So many 3rd parties out there are having a hard time getting the red ink off of their P&L statements and there is soo much money out there to be made. Money from a userbase that they continue to ignore (until recently) that is larger(WW) than the HD consoles combined.

I'm not saying that every game needs a Wii version, but if you're gonna go multi-plat then you might as well invest the necessary capital(half-ass efforts need not apply) to put it on all viable consoles and maximize your potential payback. You might find your audience somewhere that you probably didn't expect. ...somewhere in that 52% of console owners that aren't PS3 or X360.

http://www.edge-online.com/news/house-dead-overkill-sells-45k (http://www.edge-online.com/news/house-dead-overkill-sells-45k)

There we go, HOTD: O sold 45k, VGchartz said 70k which falls within the margin of error that I've noticed with them.
But that is 25k off. That is a HUGE miscalculation. There are off by more than 50% of what it actually sold. 25k wouldn't be a big deal if we were talking 6-700k+ in total sales but when we are talking 45k, being 25k off is unacceptable lolworthy.

Twist it how you want but that is exactly how I explained it, not to mention the fact that these are probably from the beginning of the month, so it maybe far closer to that number then you may think. VGchartz does the best they can do with the limited information they have. They are accurate enough to determine (For the most part) if a game was a bomb, moderate success or success.

VG Charzt doesn't have any more info that you or I. They pull their numbers out of their ass. I could start my own site, making up my numbers too, and I would be just as reliable as them. They make up their info and using them makes them look legit.People who use VG Chartz's numbers instantly lose any credibility (like how Eliot Spitzer did when he got busted for prostitution). Should I even mention how their December numbers for Wii hardware were off by more than 700K? It was funny as hell, especially when they then tried to blame it on NPD (despite Nintendo themselves confirming the NPD number).

mop it up, those numbers are reliable as I participate in the Best-selling software page and only reliable sources are allowed (those Nintendo numbers are from Nintendo's latest financial report).

Any proof of this? Just because they've been off a few times doesn't prove they make numbers up. In fact as long as I've been following VGchartz they are usually more on then off. I've heard questionable things regarding NPD as well where some numbers were supposedly off because they don't count certain stores. Take HOTD: O for example, the VGchartz numbers are almost 3 weeks AHEAD of the NPD number of 45k. If you account for the sales trend of the game it would be almost dead on with 70k. Not to mention it can be a good indicator of the success of a game, if they estimate a game selling, let's say 1 million. You know the game was a success.

I recall Gears of War 2 being estimated at 2.1 million sold after a week by VGchartz, and guess what, MS reported it sold 2 million. It is kind of funny though when VGchartz does adjust their numbers for yet another ESTIMATE. But even at that I'm still going to stick with my rule of thumb that when you get around 800k and up the number scan be 100-200k off to be on the safe side.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 22, 2009, 08:09:52 PM: GP, its a losing argument. The guys that do VGChartz were from GAF. I remember them. They were banned for constantly making up numbers w/o proof.
They made their own website (using all the old data that everyone had already collected to add depth) to help back up their claims. When there claims on new sales data were constantly wrong by significant margins, and then corrected to match current data just released, they were labeled as frauds until proven innocent. They never did show how they were getting their "up-to-date" number and were banned once again for using fake number, backed by their own fake number site.

As i said before, they use current trends(based on past sales? hype? who knows) to guesstimate approximate sales and then ~~correct~~ "adjust" them once reliable number are available. You can use them all you want for "entertainment purposes only" but if you are trying to have a serious discussion about sales & numbers, you will be laughed off the stage if you use them as your "source".

Once again you state they make guesses and that is all, any proof of this? All I've seen from you and BNM is ZERO rebuttal of the various points I've made regarding VGchart. For a site that makes up numbers they do get quite a bit right compared to NPD when the real numbers come out. This is especially amazing considering it is a group of people who don't have the "pull" of something larger like NPD, not to mention the funding in regards to getting larger sample sizes.

BTW does anyone know why NPD doesn't track Wal-mart sales?

I can just see it:

"How many copies of HOTD: O sell?"

"OH gee I think 70k, that sounds right!"

What is weird is why you are trying to defend them, when all we are saying is that there methods have been wrong time after time and therefore they now (never have actually) have zero credibility.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on March 22, 2009, 08:29:59 PM: GP, I'm afraid that what Blaknmild said is mostly right. VGChartz's numbers are at best educated guesses. I'd place them at around the same credibility of analyst guesses, though probably a little better since they pay more attention. This has even been admitted by Ioi, the guy behind VGChartz, himself. They do in fact track a few stores I believe(and by stores, I don't mean whole chains, but actual stores I think), but I'd guess that a "handful" is closer to the truth.

While this doesn't make VGChartz numbers bad to look at and consider, it makes them far from anything relating to "reported sales," no matter how much they position themselves as a professional alternative. I would never source them as sales, but always as estimates. Basically, their numbers fall in the same category as whatever comes out Pachter's mouth, though VGChartz is somewhat more robust.

NPD, in contrast, actually tracks a significant number of stores. Their numbers aren't on the dot either, (the best source is always the manufacturer/retailer themself) but they have way more factual data to work off of, and are often directly sourced and discused by the manufacturers themselves.

Unlike either of you I've admitted they've been off, why can't either of you admit they've been RIGHT multiple times as well? You blatantly IGNORE the facts I lain out where I've found their margin of error which can be used for a fair estimate of actual sales, in addition to times where they've been right. All I hear from both of you is "They guess, they got Wii sales wrong in December and GAF hated them years ago". Not only that but you yourself failed to admit you were wrong in regards to HOTD:O which the 45k number was 3 weeks ago and they have it as 70K NOW which fits in with the current sales trend.

I've actually watched VGchartz with interest for over a year now and have seen what the final sales are and they are surprisingly close most of the time. At the very least they are close when it comes to whether a game is a success or not in NA. In fact since I actually try to back up my points, I'm going to keep an even closer eye on VGchartz each month in regards to a lot of their games and see how they compare to NPDs final monthly numbers. Something I doubt you nor TJ have done for quite some time, and I'll either admit I was wrong or further illustrate my point. Does that sound fair?

Here is what I give them in regards to Margins of error from what I've seen:

100k and under- within 25k
100 to 250k- Within 50k
250k to 500k- within 75k
500k to 1 million-within 200k

Post by: TJ Spyke on March 22, 2009, 08:32:20 PM: GP, they don't track Wal-Mart because of Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart refuses to share their sales info (not just with NPD, but also Billboard and every other tracking company).

They are good at guessing numbers in general, but are off by great amounts pretty often. If you want to use them for fun or for a general idea of how a title is doing, that's your business. Just don't use them when it comes to serious sale numbers discussion.

But as part of your experiment, why don't you keep track of what they are "estimating" and post them here.*

I have not payed any attention to VGC since shortly after they were proven/admitted to not be factual.
They may have a friend in the business, a friend high up in retail chain operations & a NPD source all their own, but they have been wrong and caught "adjusting" numbers often enough for me not to pay them any more attention.

So you can use them as a source to track your personal interest, but don't assume we should use it as a source to state factual information.

going by the numbers above...
Quote
With only one exception, multiplatform games on the list that had versions on all current-gen systems sold better on Wii than on PS3.

The only exception is Rock Band 2, which was released two months after the PS3 version and was still within 30k.
Rock Band 2 - 1.02M (360) 384k (PS3) 353k (Wii)

In 7 out of 10 instances on the list, the Wii version outsold the 360 version as well.

In 6 of those instances, the Wii version sold more than (or was tied with) the 360 and PS3 versions COMBINED.

Guitar Hero 3 - 2.37M (360) 830k (PS3) 2.75M (Wii)
Guitar Hero: World Tour - 924k (360) 466k (PS3) 1.39M (Wii)
Lego Indiana Jones - 241k (360), 142k (PS3), 456k (Wii)
Shaun White - 271k (360), 141k (PS3), 537k (Wii)
Sonic Unleashed - 113k (360), 69k (PS3), 315k (Wii)
Tiger Woods 09 - 216k (360), 174k (PS3), 565k (Wii)

Compared to the PS3, the Wii sold better
Star Wars Force Unleashed - 823k (360) 464k (PS3) 626k (Wii) 175k (DS) 263k (PSP) 352k (PS2)
Rock Band 1 - 1.65M (360) 648k (PS3) 1.03M (Wii)

Amazing... numbers. I think this should definitely bode well for future multiplatform games on the Wii as long as they're competently done. Actually, I have yet to buy CoD:WaW for the Wii...

If we are talking about speculation, here's how I see the numbers...

If VGchartz places the game as a high sales number then there's the chance that the game really did sell well. If the game places low on the charts then it truly is doing poorly.

I mean, who are we to argue that RE 5 is number one on the VGchartz best selling list? The numbers might be speculation but considering the hype I doubt anyone would say that they are wrong in placing RE 5 as the number one selling game.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: GoldenPhoenix on March 22, 2009, 10:36:08 PM: One handy thing about VGchartz is that since they do adjust their numbers it is a GREAT resource for LTD sales for older games. Like if you look up RE4 for GC chances are it is spot on.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on March 22, 2009, 10:39:11 PM: The great thing about VGChartz is that they're just so open about their estimates, and they have an entire range of them. With official sources you've got extended dry periods. At least VGChartz gives you a constant flow of data to base speculation on, even if it is not official.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_pap64 on March 22, 2009, 10:39:46 PM: Can anyone look for the official NPD numbers and compare them to the VGchartz numbers?

I know the NPD places Wii Music as a million seller, and at the time this was announced the game had sold a million according to VGchartz.

Another example is when THQ announced that de Blob had become a hit, and the numbers placed it at more than 500 K.

That is what I'm going to do. Come the end of March I'm going to take their top 20 games and their estimates, then compare it to the final NPD for that month.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_pap64 on March 22, 2009, 10:47:15 PM: I think the doubt comes from non charting games.

I mean, if VGchartz says that Wii Fit is a seller for the month of March who are we to say that's not true? Wii Fit IS a massive seller and always tops the official and un-official data.

Its the slow selling games that create the most confusion and doubt. Since the NPD doesn't track the sales of those games we are left wondering if X game did well or not. This is where VGchartz shine because they do track the slow selling games.

The only concrete proof that these sleeper hit games did well is if the company confirms it or we get a sequel.

For example...

Everyone believed that Boom Blox had NOT sold as well as expected. But then EA confirmed that it was a decent hit and now we are getting a sequel. Why would a company bother creating a sequel to a game that didn't sell at all?

Another example of "House of the dead 2 and 3 return". No one knew how well it sold until "Overkill" was announced. So again, I doubt we would have gotten an exclusive sequel if the port didn't sell that well.

That is one game where VGchartz had it tracking with low, but steady sales. Also the same applies to de Blob as you stated. Both games they were the first known source that showed they were selling steadily even if the sales were not tremendously high each month.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_pap64 on March 22, 2009, 10:54:37 PM: I think many gamers believe that simply because a game didn't make it to the top 20 it means it isn't selling at all. This is the issue with "Overkill". The VGchartz number place it passing 100K sold. Yet the other numbers say it only sold 50 K for the month. This is where the doubt and confusion begin.

Time and time again it has been proven that games DO sell and have long legs. What I find so funny is that people keep falling for the same trap over and over again.

First a game didn't chart, they declare it a flop. Then months pass and the company declare it a hit, and people are shocked. Finally the numbers come out and its confirmed to be a hit. Wait for the next game for the cycle to start again.

Oh yes, VGchartz places "World at War" at 600 K copies sold. This was confirmed by the number of players that logged on to play online. The online numbers place it at 500 K, which comes close to what VGchartz has said.

Actually, NPD tracks every sale (hell, I think the January 2009 data even had 1 Dreamcast game in it, selling 1 copy). Their whole business plan are tracking data for companies though, so they only give out the top 20 to the public (and those are rounded to the nearest thousand). NPD subscribers get every game, even broken down into SKU's (i.e. how many copies each version of Halo 3 sold). They even break down sales for different colors of systems, so you could see which color DS Lite is the best selling.

Does the NPD have a site?

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 22, 2009, 11:26:38 PM: Pap, you have it all wrong. NPD tracks more than games, but they track all the games that hit retail shelves.
NPD sells this information to their clients, made of sales analyst & other such companies that want to pay X amount of $ for the info.
NPD also Officially releases TOP 10's exclusively to NeoGAF every month as a courtesy for not posting the entire leaked NPD confidential report to the internet. -NPD was trying to plug its leaks, no need to pay for the info if you can find it for free on the internet-

Just because the whole NPD doesn't get posted on NeoGAF anymore doesn't mean that who ever was leaking it doesn't still have access to it.
IOI or whoever is running VGChartz now, probably knows one of the dozens or hundreds of people out there that have access to this info and are still willing to share it.

The numbers from VGChartz that needs to be tracked & posted are the ones that come out weeks & days before the official numbers.
They have constantly posted "up-to-date" numbers during a tracking period only to "adjust" those numbers after the official count came out.

If you check their numbers for past weeks all the way up to current, I have no doubt that what you will be looking at will be as accurate as any other tracking service, but those are not what is being questioned.

& for the record, being 100k off is not very close. (unless we were speaking in the millions)
If I were selling you a house, & you absolutely loved it, asked how much it would cost, & i repled with "$500k"
then when it was time to sign the paperwork and now the house really cost $600k, I can guarantee that you are not gonna reply back with
"That comes close to what you said".

But either way, that's enough about VGChartz. I'm anticipating GP's results from her observations as I haven't even looked at VGChartz in atleast 2 years.

Post by: Kairon on March 22, 2009, 11:27:50 PM: I think one high profile inconsistency is VGChartz's tracking of Z&W. If you look at Z&W now, VGChartz has adjusted their numbers closer to the leaked NPD LTD numbers. But look at the comments and you can see that VGChartz had Z&W over 100k at the end of November 2007 as per this (sarcastic) comment from VGChartz reader Nintendo Togepi:

Quote
Passed 100k

FLOP

The leaked NPD numbers put Z&W at 117k in the US market... at the end of 1/2009, 2 years after that comment was made.

You can also see several comments commenting how the game has passed the benchmarks of 300k or 400k. Towards the end of 2008, VGC was tracking it at over 500k, as you can see some comments celebrating. Now they have since adjusted the numbers downward to 360k, as posts in february show that VGC adjusted their numbers down a whopping 30% or more.

Yeah, the Z&W sales data is the one that made a lot of people question VGchartz's numbers. But even Capcom doesn't know if to declare the game a flop or a hit. When Z&W came out Capcom said it was a moderate hit on the system. Recently a Capcom representative said the game didn't make any money at all, and now Capcom went back to saying it was a hit.

Its definitely confusing...

GP, you also have to take in consideration that Japan is much smaller compared to the US or North America in general so it's easier to track sales in Japan. Also while the NPD reports the sales in US and Canada, not every retailer provides their data to NPD which will always cause a variance.

Definitely. In many DVD forums that I frequent to many recommend the PS3 "because it plays games", and even one of the Blu-Ray promos by Disney say that they can be played on your PS3 so it seems the main innovation of the PS3 is that its a Blu-Ray player that plays games.

The only games I have been interested in for the PSP are the Pattapon games which I hope get a port to DS at some point and also that Lord of the Rings SRPG that was released a while back.

The DS just has more of the type of games I like on it. They both cater to different markets. Tenchu 4 did come out for it but I got that on Wii. It is sad to see the PSP being relegated to a similar position that the Nintendo consoles have been where it is the' downgraded me too ports' machine like Gamecube, N64 and even the Wii. Even though they cater to vastly different markets the Wii and the PSP have been treated quite similarly to each other.

How long has the DSi been out in Japan? It may just be a steady burning system since much of the selling points are more extra/bonus material. There have yet to be any killer DSi retail releases or DSiWare apps so it may also be due to that regard.

::tries to rerail the thread before the vicious Pale comes in!::

As much fun as it is bashing Sony, let's try to get this back on track unless we wish to encounter Pale's wrath.

But I like Pale, though that might be because I've yet to face his wrath. :)

@GP
How long has the DSi been out in Japan? It may just be a steady burning system since much of the selling points are more extra/bonus material. There have yet to be any killer DSi retail releases or DSiWare apps so it may also be due to that regard.

That is the other possibility. The thing is that when it was first released it did great but now it isn't doing so well, perhaps it is a similar problem with Wii where people don't have any games to boost sales.

I don't think Sony cares. I think they even said they didn't care if they lost the console race as long as it helped Blu-ray Disc become a success.
"It’s probably too cheap…" - Ken Kutaragi on PS3's launch price

"(the PS3) is not a game machine…" - Ken Kutaragi, Regarding the machine’s beefy hardware architecture

"…for consumers to think to themselves ‘I will work more hours to buy one’. We want people to feel that they want it, irrespective of anything else." – Ken Kutaragi, marketing goals for the PS3

"The first five million are going to buy it, whatever it is, even it didn't have games" - Sony's Euro CEO David Reeves

"Microsoft does not concern us. Microsoft is not a technology company." - Nobuyuki Idei, Sony chief corporate adviser in an interview with BBC NEWS

"Nintendo knows its target audience, because it has really narrowed that down; and it’s pretty much defined by a boy or girl’s ability to admire Pokemon." - Phil Harrison

"I have no concerns about the competition." - Phil Harrison

"I don’t think we’re arrogant." – Phil Harrison

Maybe when the Wii finally has something besides 2-year old non-games to push it forward. This drought is ridiculous.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on March 25, 2009, 10:27:31 PM: There is not drought.
Madworld, Overkill, Deadly Creatures and Tenchu 4 all cam out this month or last month. Punch Out and Excite Bots are coming in another month too. There are lots of games out.
The drought is merely a choice.

I think someone needs a sarcasm detector. What is sad is that it was even taken seriously!
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on March 25, 2009, 11:50:41 PM: I know it was sarcastic, but the Wii sales figures for Japan are very disappointing and are inconsistent with its sales in other markets. I know there are some great offerings out now like Madworld and Tenchu 4, but these aren't in the top 10 sales in Japan. Why is that? This is VERY troubling.

I know the PS3 isn't outselling the Wii by very much, but it shouldn't be outselling the Wii at all. The Wii should not only be ahead of the PS3, it should be WAY ahead of the PS3.

Well, the Japanese market is being very strange now. It's the only market where Nintendo is feeling a slowdown, and it's perhaps the only market where the Wii sales are suffering because third parties aren't taking enough effort to define themselves on the console.

Yep that sounds about right. Like I said while it maybe slow it doesn't mean anything on Wii. Both consumers and companies need to change their expectations on how a game sells from the norm which is illustrated by the 360/PS3 where most sales come from the first month or so.

It would be REALLY frustrating if the primary reason it dropped was because of the horrendously lazy PAL conversion.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on April 03, 2009, 03:32:21 PM: Acording to VG Chartz it has sold 90k worldwide.
70k in America
20k in 'Others'

That 60hz fiasco really hurt European sales. Maybe if the game keeps selling well in the states they'll see how much they could have sold in PAL regions and issue a fix or at least a freaking response. I'm PO'd for my Euro gaming friends. It is disappointing that we have not heard anything from anywhere about this. Has any other news source reported on the issue at all or is this solely covered by NWR at the moment?

Adding new Pokemon and not overhauling the battle system constantly (looking at you, Final Fantasy). It's very accessible.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on April 03, 2009, 07:19:08 PM: I think it is one of the reasons pokemon has staying power. Every generation Nintendo pushes the new monsters. You see the cartoons focus on the new characters and creatures and media blitzes so each new set of kids is exposed to the series. Sure there are those that stay with it to varying degrees, but new young consumers drive the pokemon sales in the US I believe. I would suspect that is the same in Japan but I do not know for sure.

I am forever amazed by the power of Monster Hunter in Japan. I think the PSP could be dead right now if it weren't for the MH games. Makes you wonder how the Wii MH game will affect Wii sales.

The console Monster Hunter games have medicore sales, even in Japan. Should still be a boost for Wii sales though.

True, I forgot about all of the little brats out there who are all "Mommy! Mommy! Buy me the poh-kay-mans!" and she goes out and buys all three versions because she's ignorant that they are all the same game.

Post by: TJ Spyke on April 03, 2009, 11:31:24 PM: I know there are a lot of adults who also buy the Pokemon games still because they are good RPGs. The Pokemon games are among the rare games that have something for everyone. If you just want the light battles and don't care about stats, you can play the game and enjoy it. If you love stats and stuff like EV's, breeding Pokemon over and over for the right stats and moves, etc. You can do that.

I buy all three versions (though I don't buy the two "initial" versions at the same time, I usually wait 6 months or so) and don't have to have my Mommy purchase them (charming use of the word "brats", btw). I don't have a really logical reason for this other then completeness, but one has to respect that if Nintendo hadn't made a huge amount of money off Pokemon in the late '90s, they might not have made it past the Cube generation and there certainly would be no more portables (the franchise single-handedly revived the Game Boy in the US at least).

What I'm asking is, why would anyone need more than one? They are all essentially the same. Then again, it is likely one of those things which I am not meant to understand.

I think you are giving the series too much credit. Despite their relatively small market share, both the Nintendo 64 and GameCube were quite profitable for Nintendo. Even if they weren't, Nintendo still had a boatload of money to dip into if they got into trouble. I don't recall the Game Boy ever struggling but I do remember lots of buzz over the Game Boy Color, which is what I would say resurrected the Game Boy brand, if it even needed saving.

I can understand this. I have things in my collection where whenever I see them I ask myself "Why do I have this again?"
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on April 04, 2009, 03:28:53 PM: Couldn't really get into Pokemon myself. Missed the original GB versions but ended up with Pearl. The story was pretty crappy (hell the cartoon series is better) but what turned me off was the AI. Loved when their attack did zero damage but they continued to issue the same damn command over and over.

Also you were limited to 4 learnred moves per Pokemon, wished it was a bit higher myself (at least 6 but 8 would be idea) that way you can really get more combination without having to level up another one or having to forget something that could be useful down the road.

I really didn't see much change in any of those versions other than new areas and Pokemon. Yeah they added color, mp, even connection with consoles but the barebones combat and story hasn't changed at all.

Also Gamefreak really does a poor job of animation too. I mean comon--the battle animation is something that was impressive for the SNES era but the DS can easily have real movement for crying out loud.

If they fix these issues then maybe I'll buy one again but in til then I think Nintendo just making a them as a cash cow.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on April 04, 2009, 03:51:21 PM: I knew a guy who was home schooled a lot and didn't get out much, so he got all the versions because he wanted to catch them all and that was the only way he could. That's probably why a number of kids get multiple versions. People miss the fact they should leave their house to complete the collection.

Also, imagine providing better animations to all the 510+ different pokemon and their different forms. That would take a lot of time and space.

I would like to have more move options if only because there are WAY too many HM moves. I refuse to place the crappy HMs on my main team but then I have to go and loose a spot for a junk monster that can do most of the moves. Defog? Rock Smash? Come on! At least surf and fly are OK moves. And the inability to delete them without a large effort is annoying as well. But having too many moves would probably unbalance the game. Imagine a monster that has a move that counters every monster that it is weak against.

I still think they could move the series to a more MMO style and be safe with their little kids online. But I think it is going to take a poor selling main version to force Nintendo to greatly evolve the franchise.

I don't think that they should be allowed more moves as the limit adds at least a little strategy to the tedious battle system. Instead, the moves should work more like equipment in that you can select which of the four moves out of all the ones it has learned to be used in battle. That would definitely help when it comes to the HM moves as those are really annoying; I'm sure we all had a "diseased" Pokémon that we dumped all those moves on.

If they made them more detailed there would be no reason to release the Pokémon Stadium-type games.

Post by: GoldenPhoenix on April 04, 2009, 04:32:54 PM: Pokemon saving GB? This is a new one on me, I understand it contributed heavily to its overwhelming success but I don't recall there ever being a time when GB was in trouble from any handheld or was on its way out. AT that point the GB already had an amazingly long life cycle so if anything Pokemon mainly caused them to delay the next big iteration. In regards to Pokemon saving Nintendo, like Mop_it_up said while it contributed heavily to Nintendo's revenue they still made profits on every one of their systems mainly because their games still sold amazingly well along with taking minimal losses on each hardware unit sold.

Yeah that sounds about right. The GB brand was still strong but the current iteration was on its last legs and probably without Pokemon we would have seen GBA much earlier.

I don't know about the GBA, but the GBC might have been released sooner. Then again, Nintendo still tried the Game Boy Pocket before going to the Game Boy Color so they didn't seem to want to create new hardware until they absolutely had to. As profitable as Pokémon was, I still think everything would have played out just the same had it not existed. There are so many factors to consider however, so it's hard to say.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 04, 2009, 07:21:47 PM: By 1996 (when the first Pokemon games were released in Japan) the Game Boy was basically dying. It had been out for 6 1/2 years and was seeing decreasing support. The Pokemon games did help revive it. Didn't do much outside of Japan though (here in the United States, Red and Blue came out only 2 months before the Game Boy Color). I think it can be argued that Pokemon was a huge factor in helping Nintendo stay profitable during their darker years since they have made billions from the franchise (not only the games, but through all the licensing). Diamond and Pearl are great games, easily among the best DS games.

As for Tetris, I think it was a big selling point for the Game Boy and was easily the best launch game (Super Mario Land came out later that same month). It was perfect since you could just whip it out whenever you had a few minutes to kill.

Remember when games actually came with systems and more than one controller at launch? Super Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt, SMB 3 (the NES bundle I got), Mario World, Tetris...Good times.
WiiSports was huge for coming with a system at launch.

Like in the DS Fire Emblem with the rendered models as opposed to hand drawn sprites animated frame by frame. It takes a lot more effort and time to do the sprite route with animations. Times that by over 500, especially if they want to keep adding new Pokemon to supplement the old ones..

And how successful would it have been if it DIDN'T? Tetris was what put the GB ahead of early rivals like the Lynx and Gamegear. The GB had the disadvantage of lacking a color display, but it made up for that with its long battery life... but long battery alone wouldn't have made the difference. Tetris was that killer app that made the difference up until Pokemon.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on April 05, 2009, 11:47:43 AM: Obviously software sells hardware but usually "saving" means something is in peril before the intervention and no longer is afterwards. The Game Boy didn't really exist prior to the Tetris "intervention" so talking about saving isn't really the right word.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on April 05, 2009, 03:21:37 PM: The GB's pack in of Tetris trumped the Gamegear's pack in of Sonic 2. Tetris appeals to all audiences, regardless of age or gender. It was definitely the Brain age of its day.

...Speaking of Pokémon, there's something which bothers me about your signature there, Stratos. You didn't spell Pokémon with the accented "e". I hate to be this way, but... do you think you could change it? I'm a bit CDO when it comes to things like that. By "CDO" I mean "OCD" but I like to spell it "CDO" so that the letters are in alphabetical order.

oh... about those drinks... nevermind.

j/k, seriously, you name the time...

Post by: Stratos on April 09, 2009, 12:28:09 AM: I don't know how to change that to a special character Mop it up. Show me how, and buy me a drink and I'll change it :)

We do need an official NWR drink. It CANNOT be that Final Fantasy potion stuff mentioned on one of the last Radio Trivia 'casts.

Post by: Mop it up on April 09, 2009, 12:35:28 AM: Here's what you do:

Hold down the "Alt" key. There are two of them, but you need only hold down one. I use the one on the left because everyone else uses the right one. With "Alt" held down, press 130 on the number pad on the right of the keyboard; this will not work with the row of numbers at the top. Release "Alt" and "é" should appear.

Alternatively, you can copy and paste any special characters of which you don't know the "Alt" code for.

Here's your strawberry daiquiri. Now change it.

BlackNMild2k1: The time is now. The place is here. The drink is what I'm declaring the official drink of NWR: strawberry daiquiris. Enjoy.

Post by: Stratos on April 09, 2009, 10:19:38 PM: Only one Wii game, interesting. Figures it would be WiiFit. When does Excite Bots come out in Japan? Next month Japan also gets Takt of Magic and I am curious how these two Nintendo titles will fare on their home turf. None of the NPC games outside of Pikmin 2 seem to have made much of a splash.

RE5 is doing pretty good so far.

Mario & Luigi 3 is faring well also.

Not really. They still have less than 1/3rd as many sold as their nearest competitor despite their one year head start.... it took them 3 years just to sell 1 million consoles? That's pathetic, if you ask me...
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 10, 2009, 03:34:46 PM: Better than the original Xbox, which only sold about 500K in Japan. Japan just doesn't want the Xbox 360 for some reason. The only time time it really gets any boost in sales is when a new JRPG comes out.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on April 10, 2009, 03:46:27 PM: Maybe 360 is doing better because it's more expensive.

Let's see MS launch a $500 console in Japan next time! JRPG MONEYHAT TIME

I'm sorry, I thought it was obvious that that was sarcasm.

Post by: Mop it up on April 10, 2009, 06:53:11 PM: I think it might be best to add an emoticon whenever you say something sarcastic, like ;) or something. I have the same problem of my sarcasm being taking seriously because I usually forget that emoticons even exist.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Caliban on April 10, 2009, 06:58:13 PM: I think that Japan has chosen the portable market for their everyday and hobby needs, and I don't think that anything that can be considered as new or inventive for the home console market is going to change the trend.

Post by: Stratos on April 13, 2009, 10:20:42 PM: Avg units per system and total units by publisher are interesting numbers.
Wii has the highest per-system numbers.

I wish we could see those numbers for North America.

LOL at Pokemon being it's own publisher.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 13, 2009, 10:33:36 PM: That is a misleading statement. It's a wholly owned company created by Nintendo designed specifically to handle the entire Pokemon franchise (not just games). So Nintendo actually had 73 of the top 500 games last year.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on April 13, 2009, 10:45:34 PM: Kind of funny how they did that. I don't think it should be separate from Nintendo.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 13, 2009, 10:50:43 PM: Considering Famitsu doesn't list Hudson Soft as separate from Konami or Taito separate from Square Enix, it does seem odd.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on April 13, 2009, 11:11:00 PM: Maybe they did but those totals were less than any listed so they weren't placed on this list. It could just be a top-10 list.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 13, 2009, 11:13:27 PM: That is possible, both Hudson Soft and Taito sold less than 200K copies of games last year and all the companies listed sold more than 1 million.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 14, 2009, 11:06:38 PM: The DS is kickin ass in the number of games sold and nuber of games in the Top 500
but the Wii is kickin ass in how many units per title sold avg.
Nintendo is just slaughtering everybody.

I think it might be best to add an emoticon whenever you say something sarcastic, like ;) or something. I have the same problem of my sarcasm being taking seriously because I usually forget that emoticons even exist.

You have to have to implement them into your written voice, :P I'm tempted to put them in english papers sometimes haha. Which is terrible ;)

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: oohhboy on April 16, 2009, 12:56:31 PM: Wow, I knew that the console market was sluggish in Japan, but this really puts it in perspective.

Although I'm not surprised by the 360 numbers seeing how western the entire line-up is.

The sheer number of games that don't make it out of 4 digit sales is huge.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: ShyGuy on April 16, 2009, 01:16:45 PM: So what are the Japanese doing with their time instead of playing consoles?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on April 16, 2009, 01:35:54 PM: Playing cellphones.

Lol Fracture. For some reason this is a title I keep remembering. It had big ads everywhere when I bought my 360 and a week later fell down to 30€. They could really rename it to Failure.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 16, 2009, 02:59:02 PM: The Japanese have gone mobile. DSi, PSP & cellphone apps/games

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 16, 2009, 07:03:42 PM: I don't think anyone was expecting MadWorld to crack to top 10, so no big deal to me. I would like to know how it did though.

Great for the Wii, continues dominating.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: ShyGuy on April 16, 2009, 07:21:24 PM: I would like to see Madworld hit a 100k at least.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on April 16, 2009, 07:47:18 PM: Considering No More Heroes was able to sell around 60,000 it's first month, I imagine Madworld will be able to crack the 100,000 mark. Which will be really good for the type of game it is.

Of course even if the game sells close to 200,000 it's first month, I'd imagine the HD fanboys are going to still say the game is a bomb and that Sega should port it over. Completely ignoring that the type of game Madworld is wouldn't put up huge numbers on the 360/PS3 either.

if sales keep going lower & lower for another month & 1/2 Nintendo might lose a little bit of the Hype sales that has kept the casuals attention for this long.

Sales trend. My guess is that probably understand how games sell on Wii and so far Madworld is pacing just fine with games like CoD: WaW and others that sold below average in their opening month.

There is atleast one more sale coming within the next week (I haven't bought it yet), so they are probably hoping that the game slowly builds up momentum
like Boom Blox & No More Heroes.

Post by: Michael8983 on April 18, 2009, 09:09:26 AM: With few exceptions, any time a developer has truly taken the time to put the effort into making a truly great game on either the Wii or DS, it has gone on to become a success in time. Madworld's closest relation on Wii are the No More Heroes titles which also started slow and eventually became quite successful considering their relatively small budget.
As for GTA:CTW. There hasn't really been anything like it on DS before so it's going to take time for handheld gamers to discover it but eventually they will. Didn't GTA3 on PS2 start off slow before eventually becoming the mega-hit we remember it as?

I was gonna make a similar comment. LOL. I hear the first game was garbage, if thats true, why would I want to invest in a second one? If later down the road I find out that the 2nd one was pretty good, maybe I would be inclined to check out the 3rd one.

Sequels usually succeed or fail based on the previous game. If A was good then B will benefit. But if B was bad its usually C that will suffer. Even if C is a better game than A, B has set it up to fail. Its just the way things work.

Post by: Stratos on April 18, 2009, 06:40:59 PM: HA! Madworld is #9 on Wii chart. That's saying something.

GTA at #5 for both DS and overall portable charts is also nice to see. I'd love to see one on Wii now since I want a new sandbox game to replace Godfather. I do prefer the Godfather universe to any GTA universe so far but I am having fun with CTW.

Lego Star Wars just won't quit. Lego Indy did break 1 Million and Lego Batman is close too. Those games are pure money on Wii. I'm surprised we haven't seen anything on a new one. They may be saving it for E3. I know there was a Harry Potter rumor but they may save that till the last film dual-ology is released. I do hope the next Lego themed game is a bit more innovative though.

So yeah, people picked it up once it hit the barginbin but alot of games do the same. The only plus to NMH was it was the developemost cost was kept low but Madworld had alot of ads (both TV and mag and that's costly). I think Madworld will still get enough sales to be somewhat profitable to see a sequel. Still sad though, Madworld was freaking great.

Yeah, it was actually a launch title for the DS back when it came out way back in November 2004, so its the same exact age as the DS system itself. For a game THAT OLD to be in the top 10 lists now is absolutely amazing... I assumed Nintendo had long ceased manufacturing it.

Yes and No. It is largely the same game, but the fact its now in portable form and with the addition of all the mini games and whatever else Nintendo tacked on it is distinct enough to stand on its own. I've owned both 64 and 64 DS and I can see the differences. To be honest, I strongly do prefer the original though, because the DS controls for it are useless.

Not to mention the DS game has new missions, new characters, re-worked levels, etc. They are different enough to be considered different games. The DS version would have been great (instead of just good) if it had better controls. The d-pad does not control as good as an analog stick and the touchscreen control was worse IMO.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on April 19, 2009, 10:16:30 PM: Yeah, that's true. In the DS version you can play as Yoshi, Luigi, Wario (probably one or two others) and each of these have different capabilities. In the original you could only play as Mario, and that was it.

But again, I didn't really enjoy it as well as I would have if it had a control stick. Oh well... here's hoping one day the DS version finds its way onto the Wii with nunchuck controls. ;D

But the DS version would never have existed if the N64 version didn't come out. It's still the same game, just in different packaging.

I do too. This game needs an analogue stick, considering it was the poster child for it back in the day. Plus the original just looks so much more clean than the DS version.

Just one other character, Mario.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on April 19, 2009, 11:30:17 PM: Yeah, Mario64 makes a better poster child for the analog stick (which is unfortunately absent from the DS) than it does for the touchscreen. Interestingly, it was the launch title for both of those new ways of doing things, but it was very ill suited for the later...

If I'm not mistaken the DS's architecture is very similar to that of the N64 and that probably made it easy to port this game over. The DS is sorta like a portable N64, but without the analog stick.

That is a total crap argument. Under that idea any sequel is just the same game as the original. Super Mario 64 would not have existed without Donkey Kong (birth of Mario). Let's compare this to movies. Do you consider the 1968 and 2001 versions of Planet of the Apes to be the same movie but just with different packaging? Or Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? This is not like the Classic NES series where they were straight ports of the NES originals (with the only change being the aspect ratio). A re-make is different from a port in that a re-make is considered a new title while a port is not, SM64DS was a re-make and thus a new title.

Anyways, a little over 4 years of continues sales is great for the game. Us hardcore gamers may complain about the lack of price drops for most Nintendo first party games, but this is the reason why. The game is still selling tons of copies at $35, Nintendo has no reason to drop its price. New DS owners tend to want certain games, which is why Mario Kart DS managed to be one of the 10 best selling games of 2008 despite releasing back in 2005.

The latter wasn't a remake of the first movie, it was just another movie based on the book.

A remake is not a new title, it is its own category: a remake. It contains a lot more old content than new content so it can't pass as a new game, and rarely is the new content actually worth buying the game for if one owns the original. Super Mario 64 DS is no exception. It's still enough of the same game that you can tie its success to the original game, and can make statements like "It has been going strong for 14 years!"

Analog sticks are overrated for games like Mario, the only problem with SM64DS was that you had to hold down the run button to move at full speed which you'd do about 98% of the time with an a-stick. Well, that and I think Mario would keep moving forward while turning when he had any inertia left and you tried to turn, often making him run off the platform you just landed on. Also the touchscreen-only camera controls were fail.

You could go into the menus and switch it so you ran by default and holding the button made you walk.

Hehe. It is being split over 2 platforms and it up against 2 Nintendo games and a RE. Besides, I doubt some of the people there would want to play their reality if you have been following the news.

Oooh, I didn't realize that those were LTD average sales. That would skew it a lot. Crazy to think that the Wii + DS are over that as well.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 23, 2009, 12:45:32 AM: I think that PS3 number is wrong. I highly doubt the PS3 sold 57K and the Wii only 15K, especially with the PS3 not having a single game in the top 10.

Struggling because of a lack of compelling game releases recently, once the releases go up the sales should go up as well.

Yeah, I don't pirate games or use emulators, but I certainly haven't bought anything for my PSP in a long while. However, it's still a nice picture & video browser, and it lets me play Power Stone whenever I please!

Post by: TJ Spyke on April 23, 2009, 10:43:50 PM: I don't condone piracy and I won't help people do it, but 3 of the 4 PSP games I own were downloaded from torrent site (although 2 of those are not available to buy in North America anyways) and the other PSP game I own (and the PSP itself) was bought used, so I have not contributed any money to Sony when it comes to their handheld.

Why would people buy a new system just for a demo?

The same reason a lot of people in Japan would buy a Xbox 360 just for a new JRPG and then sell the system after they beat the game.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on April 24, 2009, 09:09:11 PM: So they are going to sell the system after they play the demo?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 24, 2009, 09:27:53 PM: Its a very common thing to do in Japan.
Buy the system for one game, beat that game, then sell the game and the system back to the shop.
rinse wash repeat.
unless there are alot of games coming out that you want to play, then you hold onto the system.

Japan has a very large used game market, since game rentals are not allowed.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 24, 2009, 09:28:52 PM: I wouldn't be surprised if some of them do. Most will probably keep it, don't forget that Final Fantasy XIII is PS3-only in Japan (Square Enix made sure to announce that the Xbox 360 version was not gonna be released in Japan) and I think the Blu-ray Disc movie bundled with the PS3 includes a playable demo of the game.

The lack of game rentals in Japan is the fault of video game companies, who have lobbied against it. Sega did offer rentals of Dreamcast games though, and Koei offered rentals in 2006.

Not until Nintendo gets off its collective ass and releases something new besides the same combination of Wii Fit, Wii Play, and Wii Sports that have been haunting the charts for the last 3 years. At this point these games are beyond old, and its ridiculous (and a bit sickening) that nothing new has come out. What the hell is going on at Nintendo? They're sitting on their hands while Sony makes inroads.

Someone is forgetting Wii Sports Resort in June. Seriously this freaking out is getting just as old as the whining about Sony selling more PS3s which until the FF13 release have been nothing to shout about from either Nintendo or Sony. Punch-Out comes out next month. Is that not something? Wii Sports comes out in June, is that nothing? Monster Hunter 3 comes out in Summer? Is that nothing? What does Sony have? Oh yeah, FF13 and that is pretty much it. Sony still has a LONG way to go before they even get close to the Wii in Japan, making these freak out comments all the more ridiculous lacking any perspective on what it really means.

I know there isn't much at all, but you can't forget that titles like Patapon (Patapon 2 is going to be released soon), LocoRoco 2, Phantasy Star Portable, Prinny Can I really Be The Hero, Star Ocean First Departure, and Star Ocean Second Evolution have been released within the last 18 months. Which isn't much I know, but nonetheless they are good games to be picked up if you're interested in those kind of game genre.

Could be.

Actually, the Wii is only a little behind the PS2 at this point in its lifetime in that market. So ltd install base isn't too bad, but the weekly sales do probably have to improve.

I'm more worried about the possibility that the entire console market in Japan has either shifted or shrunken, which might result in a lower ltd total for the wii than the ps2 achieved in that market.

If there aren't new teen gamers coming into gaming, then that means that Nintendo didn't time a generational Pokemon game right, and they have no one to blame by themselves. half-joiking

It was meant to be a simplified RPG. I don't think it would work very well as an MMORPG because that would take away much of its simplicity and charm.

It was meant to be a simplified RPG. I don't think it would work very well as an MMORPG because that would take away much of its simplicity and charm.

Seems to be fine on the TV show. Just set it up like that. I have no problem with the handheld games the way they are. I don't even know if it should be a MMORPG, just take the handheld games and make them full 3D on the Wii.

Post by: Deguello on May 02, 2009, 09:31:36 PM: I think I'd like to address this notion now, that Pokemon could be easily made into some sort of 3-D Epic on a console.

This is an RPG that has more than 500 playable characters, not even including NPC models, or possible enemies. It would be ass-grindingly difficult to make a game that would be able to incorporate all of them in a logical fashion, other than teh truncated way they did in Colosseum. This is a franchise where Baby Steps are key.

Furthermore,a Pokemon MMORPG is a good idea on paper that would be an absolute nightmare to moderate and keep pure for the childrens on the internet, especially if there is voice chat, and I don't need to say why.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on May 02, 2009, 10:34:44 PM: Like I've said, I never played the game before, but it just seems like it would fit MMORPG perfectly.
400+ pokemon to collect and level grind individually means some are gonna pick a certain few to work with.
People meeting at coliseums to battle for badges and regional rankings.
Some servers with p2p battles out in the wild where you can challenge a traveler to steal some of his pokemon(& money)
Training guilds, trainer clothing & special items to collect.
DSi connect to do some limited training & Pokemon maintenance on the go
connect to DS versions to get special items based on how complete your portable collection is.

I've never played the game, but it seems to fit MMORPG* perfectly to me.

*I've never played a MMORPG either, but I have friends that do/have.

NDS HW = 101.78M
Good Lord!

Wii HW = 50.39M
Not bad, not bad. With this audience I just wished they were more willing to try other types of games.

Brain Age Series - 31.12M
Brainiacs.

Mario Kart Wii - 15.40M
Hopefully these numbers are high enough for Nintendo to step up to the plate with this game.

Wii Fit - 18.22M
Imagine how many hoverboards could be sold with the Nintendo name attached to it.

I don't see much EXCITE from forum users here, usually people are all up ons when a new Advance Wars game is announced...

And funny how the PAL release list on the Wii is LONGER than the US one. I bet that'll change once more games get revealed but oh well...

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on May 08, 2009, 02:12:03 PM: This is from GAF but it had some interesting graphs based on the recent Nintendo financial report
Quote from: JoshuaJSlone
I know this isn't exactly about the supplementary information, but it seems better to take up space in a thread specific to one company's single quarter results than the catch-all thread.

This quarter Wii surpassed SNES and became the second Nintendo home console to pass 50 million units shipped. About 11.5 million remain until it passes NES.
(http://garaph.info/shipmentbar.php//title/Nintendo+Consoles+Worldwide/sysreg-0/NES_WW/sysreg-1/SNES_WW/sysreg-2/N64_WW/sysreg-3/GCN_WW/sysreg-4/Wii_WW)

Very little movement in Japan this quarter.
(http://garaph.info/shipmentbar.php//title/Nintendo+Consoles+Japan/sysreg-0/NES_JP/sysreg-1/SNES_JP/sysreg-2/N64_JP/sysreg-3/GCN_JP/sysreg-4/Wii_JP)

At the end of 2008, Wii shipments were just below N64's final total in North America. With a quarter of over 3 million shipped, it's surpassed not only N64, but also SNES.
(http://garaph.info/shipmentbar.php//title/Nintendo+Consoles+NA/sysreg-0/NES_NA/sysreg-1/SNES_NA/sysreg-2/N64_NA/sysreg-3/GCN_NA/sysreg-4/Wii_NA)

Wii long ago become the most successful Nintendo home console ever in Europe. This quarer still marks an interesting milestone, though, in that Wii has shipped more than NES and SNES combined. The previous four systems combined only come to 28.66 million. Wii has less than 10 million to go to pass that.
(http://garaph.info/shipmentbar.php//title/Nintendo+Consoles+Europe/sysreg-0/NES_EU/sysreg-1/SNES_EU/sysreg-2/N64_EU/sysreg-3/GCN_EU/sysreg-4/Wii_EU)

Though we are increasingly not near launch, there are still more Wiis available than any near-launch home console ever (http://therearemorewiisavailablethananynearlaunchhomeconsoleever.info/).
(http://therearemorewiisavailablethananynearlaunchhomeconsoleever.info/image/)

DS becomes the fourth gaming device to pass 100 million units shipped, if you count Game Boy and Game Boy Color together as does Nintendo. Current DS shipment numbers place it just below PS1.
(http://garaph.info/shipmentbar.php//title/100-PERC-2B+Million+Club/sysreg-0/GB_WW/sysreg-1/PS1_WW/sysreg-2/PS2_WW/sysreg-3/DS_WW)

Especially the Europe graph of Nintendo consoles. NOE has really made the difference this generation. what a turn around.

Yeah, when I read that I got all excited but then I remembered that DoR was the 2nd Advance Wars DS.

I'm pretty satisfied with Advance Wars and Fire Emblem on the DS so I'm hoping Intelligent Systems is working on a new Wii game right now. Is it known what they are working on? I'd like another Fire Emblem because those seem to push me to finish the old ones but something new would be cool as well.

Maybe the teen gamers of the PSX era have grown-up and have to deal with the real world now, pulling them away from game consumption.

The problem is the Japanese don't reproduce. Seriously, their population is declining...

maybe if they got out more instead of playing video games and making love to pillow & doll versions of anime characters reproduction wouldn't be a problem. Or maybe the Japanese women just need a new flavors to their menu.

But since all their men happen to be pre-occupied...

I recall reading that the expectations of men and women in Japan simply differ so they can't find partners. I think an influx of foreigners might actually fix that to some degree.

Nobody thought the system would keep selling like it has. It just passed the SNES, which was on the market for eight years. Things were crazy back in 2007 and they are still crazy today.

It just passed the SNES, which was on the market for eight years. Things were crazy back in 2007 and they are still crazy today.

The Wii passed the SNES about 1 1/2 months ago (in late-March), although I guess that is still pretty recent. The SNES was officially out for 8 years (13 in Japan), but hardware sales were basically done after about 5 1/2 years. The Wii is 11.52 million behind the NES, meaning that by the end of the year the Wii could be Nintendo's best selling console ever.

OH look, the Wii is ahead of the PS3?

DOES THIS SPELL DOOM FOR SONY? Michael Pachter explains why this is not the case.

Is this a threat to Sony's Success? Expect an IGN Editorial to follow promptly.

*sigh*

OK I know i've been here long enough to know such things, but this guy isn't the real Reggie right? Just the way he worded his sentence it really looks like its him. He's not right?

*Now expecting completely sarcastic answers*

And LOL at the IGN editorial remarks. Thats exactly whats going to happen. 2 weeks out of 80 billion that Sony sells more and it spells doom for nintendo, I love it!

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on May 14, 2009, 12:58:21 PM: I think it was 5-6 weeks in a row and they probably made up around 50k in sales (japan) while they needed to make up about 5000k to catch up (in Japan)

As far as Reggie is concerned, rumor has it that hes been wandering around the internets popping up on Nintendo specific forums ever since they shut down N-sider on nintendo.com... well, lurking might be more appropriate since I don't know how many other forums he post on, but he's been on a war path since then and taking names where ever he goes.

Which explains why we haven't hear from since then until now. I guess Reggie got his ~~groove~~ name back, which means there might be hope for the people on his list.

Nintendo had a press release

Quote
Powered by the launch of the new Nintendo DSi™ hand-held system, the Nintendo DS franchise set a new all-time U.S. record for April hardware sales for any video game platform, according to the independent NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States. Nintendo sold more than 827,000 Nintendo DSi systems in April and an additional 215,000 Nintendo DS™ Lite systems, for a combined total of more than 1.04 million. This brings life-to-date sales of the Nintendo DS franchise in the United States alone to more than 30 million.

At the same time, Nintendo’s Wii™ console remained the No. 1 home system in the United States, selling more than 340,000 in April, more than the other current-generation home console systems combined. Wii has sold through nearly 20 million in the United States since its launch in November 2006.

“Nintendo systems and software represented 56 percent of the industry total shares in April, indicating continued strong consumer preference for quality and value,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Looking ahead, we are excited to introduce active-play games like Punch-Out!! and Wii Sports Resort into the market.”

Six games published by Nintendo finished in the top 10 best-sellers of April, including the top four games of the month. These include Wii Fit™ at No. 1 with more than 470,000 sold, Pokémon™ Platinum Version at No. 2 with more than 432,000 sold, Mario Kart™ Wii at No. 3 with more than 209,000 sold, Wii Play™ at No. 4 with nearly 170,000 sold, New Super Mario Bros.™ at No. 7 with nearly 119,000 sold and Mario Kart™ DS at No. 8 with more than 112,000 sold.

Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on May 15, 2009, 01:18:35 PM: Unlike obscure non-hype Nintendo software like ExciteButts, DSi got a massive marketing push. TV ads AND movie theaters. I saw two DSi ads just before Logan's Naked Run Through a Canadian Farm After Getting Adamamanantaatium Probed.

Reggie said there was no need for the DSi yet since the DS Lite was still selling something like 600K every month. The DSi wouldn't have come out at all if it sales hadn't slowed in Japan. I think Iwata probably forced Reggie to launch the DSi last month rather than this Fall like Reggie originally wanted.

He was kinda right, because DS sales haven't slowed in the U.S. yet. In Japan the revision really was needed and it came at the best time, because the PSP was starting to kick ass and it needed to be stopped.

The sales info has to be wrong, there's no way GH: Aerosmith is anywhere near the top 10, it has to be GH: Metallica.

GameStop had a sale in April where you could get Guitar Hero: Aerosmith plus a guitar for $10. I think Toys R Us had a similar deal.

Excitebutts needs mawr visage 'cause that 13k (http://gamasutra.com/news?story=23644) isn't making anyone proud.

13,000 isn't too bad for 10 days.
True, but I was stating it in comparison to Excite Truck. I should have added more detail to my post, my bad.

I think people are still adapting to the slow-burn sales pattern of the Wii.
I am.

There's been a ****-load of videos on GameTrailers/iTunes. I haven't seen any TV commercials though (of coarse I don't have cable or satellite though, and most video game commercials on aired on channels like Spike and Comedy Central). I really loved the live action videos about Little Mac making a comeback (which I think first aired on the Nintendo Channel).

Because where I checked you would be about 100k over what it actually sold LTD.

Yeah, I'm also curious.... though I'm not too worried about Madworld sales yet, I figure they could arc a little below NMH sales.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 02, 2009, 07:52:29 PM: Just wanted to preserve this bit of info for NPD May 2009 comparison.
EA says that EA Sports Active sold 600k in its 1st 2 weeks of release which was the last 2 weeks of May.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread

Just wanted to preserve this bit of info for NPD May 2009 comparison.
EA says that EA Sports Active sold 600k in its 1st 2 weeks of release which was the last 2 weeks of May.

I suspect they were talking about "sold to retailer" (i.e. shipped). May NPD numbers are for May 3-May 30 for those interested.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on June 04, 2009, 09:34:49 PM: Nice to see that PSP monster hunter game has finally been kicked out of the top 10 list. Hopefully it stays out of there for good... it was annoying seeing it all the time. What the hell is the obsession with it anyway?

I know it was popular, but I just figured it's because it was a PS2 game from square, and those fanboys would eat up any old disgusting mess with a grin and a (slightly crazed) twinkle in their eye.

I enjoyed the first one, but the story in KH2 was way to convoluted for my tastes.

NINTENDO DS BRAND CONTINUES HOT STREAK, WII HITS 20 MILLION SALES MILESTONE

June 11, 2009

The Nintendo DS™ franchise continued its strong sales and placed No. 1 across all platforms for May, according to the NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States. U.S. consumers purchased nearly 390,000 Nintendo DSi™ systems and nearly 244,000 Nintendo DS systems in May, for a combined total of more than 633,000 hand-helds. Total Nintendo DS franchise sales are at more than 31 million in the United States.

Nintendo's Wii™ console also hit a major milestone in May. With more than 289,000 unit sales in May, U.S. Wii sales crossed the 20 million mark after just 31 months on the market, reinforcing its position as the fastest-selling console in history.

"The continued enthusiastic consumer response to our products shows that Nintendo has something for everyone," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "For Nintendo, precision motion controls and social gaming are realities today. Upcoming games like Wii Sports Resort, launching at the end of July, and Wii Fit Plus and New Super Mario Bros. Wii, coming this fall and holiday, will give consumers even more amazing experiences to enjoy."

Six games published for Nintendo platforms finished in the top 10 best-sellers of May in the United States. These include Wii Fit™ at No. 2 with nearly 353,000 sold, EA Sports Active at No. 3 with nearly 346,000 sold, Pokémon™ Platinum Version at No. 6 with nearly 169,000 sold, Mario Kart™ Wii at No. 7 with more than 158,000 sold Punch-Out!!™ at No. 8 with nearly 157,000 sold and Wii Play™ at No. 10 with more than 109,000 sold.

Well two of them are $30, so I'd imagine wii fit owners probably got them to try out, with little risk. EA's active is actually a neat product, but all failed before the original Wii Fit, which probably means they might want to re-evaluate this "follow the leader" strategy with the Wii. The market was already saturated before they got there. And considering most of them probably sold under 100,000, it means they really weren't that successful anyway.

GameStop sells Link's Crossbow Training used game-only for $3 but I've never seen it there. I actually already have an unofficial case for it which I bought along with a Wii Sports case. Why don't these games come with cases?

I have no idea why Nintendo of America is so damn cheap that they choose to give us tiny cardboard cases. I'm surprised they didn't pull the same crap with Wii Fit and Mario Kart Wii.

May 19th 2009 was when Wikipedia says it came out. So it didn't have all that long to sell in May.

Post by: Deguello on June 13, 2009, 08:38:37 PM: VGChartz is kind of a funny story. The whole website is geared towards simply declaring the sales numbers and the winners and losers. It's hard facts.

Yet you probably won't find a bigger clavern of Sony fanboys anywhere else on the internet, and I don't say this with any ill intent. They're just there. Half the posts on their forum are about how Sony can "turn it all around" with a new game or so, even some of the news stories. And this is on a website were the DATA to prove them wrong wrong is right there on the site. Sometime RIGHT ABOVE the news story.

It's a website about hard facts, and as a historical archive, it is pretty useful. I mean, who would know that Metroid Prime 3 actually outsold Super Metroid? Where else can you see the meteoric rise of Wii and DS, and do repeated facepalms every time a 3rd party announces some kind of casual schlock for it? But as an accurate sales gauge? I'll just say they have a ways to go.

I use it for casual gauging of game sales. Especially once some time has lapsed the numbers do tend to be corrected when real numbers are leaked or released.

Your statement says it all.

Yeah, it's useful as an archive but completely sucks for predictions. They don't even track everything properly, I once looked up the sales numbers for Cv Judgment and they reported 0 for all regions except the US.

Post by: TJ Spyke on June 14, 2009, 10:28:56 AM: The problem even as a archive is that it's not reliable. We don't always get the final sales numbers for a game, so they still make those up. They only make corrections when sales information is leaked.

You mean the bonus 3D content LucasArts was kind enough to include with their classic Atlantis game? Sure it isn't very good, but Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is easily worth $50 in my book. That other stuff is just a bonus.

Post by: Stratos on June 26, 2009, 04:13:52 PM: I'm also not as negative with the 3D part of the game as I pretend to be(or others are). It sounds like an average action game. Plus I've heard nothing about the co-op game and that is of big interest to me.

They've re-released the PC versions of their point and click adventures here for around 10€ a piece, seems like a much better option to me than a full price game.

When did they do that? I haven't seen anything like that in the states. I'm actually hoping for VC/WW releases of Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle and others. We get a new Monkey Island on WW.

Yeah it is doomed like the Wii was doomed when PS3 was outselling it.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 26, 2009, 08:19:00 PM: That is 41% of its initial shipment on the the 1st day of sales & it sold 155k in that 1st day. I would say that is pretty good.
& if you look at traditional Wii sales, most BIG sellers are slow burners, as in they don't blow their wad on the 1st week, but they sell consistently for a long time.

Expect maybe 360-380k on the upcoming charts and for it to be on the charts Top 10 for quite a while too.
I would guess 1.1mill in sales before it hits US shores.

As BlacknMild said, it sold 41% of it's first shipment on its FIRST DAY. Not week, day (and a weekday on top of that). That is pretty damn good.

However, I don't see it selling anywhere near 360K on its first week as that would be close to 100%. If 155K is 41%, then that means they shipped 380K copies and I don't see the game being a virtual sellout (although I could see it getting around 300K).

Post by: KDR_11k on June 30, 2009, 04:33:52 PM: Lack of games, especially a lack of games that really pushed the motion controls. The future doesn't look much better with Nintendo apparently making some Gamecube 1.5 games instead of proper Wii games.

Famitsu: Wii Sports Resort sells over 350k. The 3rd highest debut week for Wii.

1. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Nintendo) - 816,198
2. Mario Kart Wii (Nintendo) - 608,147
3. Wii Sports Resort (Nintendo) - 353,827

It over 350k. ~90something% sell through. Virtual sellout? Close enough.

I did the numbers up above. Nintendo shipped about 380K copies, so selling 350K of those is pretty great (I would guess that most of the remaining 30K are in rural areas where not a lot of people buy games).

Ah, I see...

Is 41% good for a game with such high expectations as this? It didn't even sell half of what it theoretically could have...

Lack of games, especially a lack of games that really pushed the motion controls. The future doesn't look much better with Nintendo apparently making some Gamecube 1.5 games instead of proper Wii games.

You are absolutely right. Wii Sports Resort is the first A+ Wii title in a long time...

Its been a long time since something has sold out. I remember just a year or two ago Nintendo stuff was selling out consistently on a weekly basis. What the heck happened?

It was lack of games, but I don't really fault Nintendo much for that. They may be the most efficient and talented developers ever, but they aren't gods, capable of bending physics to their whim. Japanese third parties are mostly to blame for that, because they formed an anti-Wii cartel and either blacklisted the console from serious development or started half-brained, half-assed spinoff development.

Which is why the news of Japanese third parties mostly struggling in console profits not very surprising considering the climate they've made. So it was all on Nintendo to cover every base, and again, they aren't supermen. Things are looking slightly better, but they still haven't stopped the "spinoff first, maybe probably possibly support market leading console later after several userbase stress tests" development strategy. And people wonder why Nintendo pulls down billions while the others suck fumes.

Makes sense--Wii Sports Resort isn't going to appeal to anyone who doesn't already have a Wii.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on July 01, 2009, 03:28:13 PM: I don't know about that.

I pose a real example. My Dad was really interested in WiiSports. Especially bowling. He played it for a good while but grew increasingly frustrated with how it wouldn't register his spins properly. I explained that it doesn't fully register everything like a real bowling ball and it took a lot of interest out of it for him.

The possibility of M+ giving true 1:1 could bring people like my Dad back into wanting to play. Now my family does have a 'family Wii' (read: my little sister's) but imagine how many curious people tried WiiSports at a friends house or elsewhere and ended up being disappointed about how the controls were not 'true'. They may have just said that Wii was alright but not for them.

Now people like that may be willing to give it another go with the promise actually being fullfilled. Though it will probably be a slow builder that spreads by word of mouth and people playing at other people's houses. That is hinged on how well Resort spreads through the grapevine.

Time will tell, but I am optimistic.

Post by: Deguello on July 08, 2009, 02:47:51 PM: Go Mario and Luigi 3! You are the best selling game this year!

For about 3 more days at least...
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on July 08, 2009, 07:37:57 PM: Monster Hunter G already passed Mario & Luigi 3. WS Resort is coming on fast as well.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: GoldenPhoenix on July 08, 2009, 07:40:32 PM: Gosh PS3 sales are pathetic now, so much for the tide turning when it was outselling the Wii by a MASSIVE 5k a week (yes that is meant to be sarcastic).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Deguello on July 08, 2009, 07:44:27 PM: Yeah I wonder where all those "PS3 in trouble" editorials are? I hope Marvelous has a temper tantrum about one of their PSP games flopping, though the cynic in me doubts it.

My main beef with most of those PS3 games is that they should have been made on Wii. Even if they sold the same, you'd save money on development.

Japanese third parties totally fail at economics this gen.

That would probably be correct if they had a virtual sell out the first week.

Yeah but the 1st two weeks are twice as much as Wii Sports, so its obviously off to a good start.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Deguello on July 08, 2009, 09:22:31 PM: I have a question about Wii Sports Resort.

Can we still consider it a "casual" game when people have been pre-ordering the hell out of it? I mean doesn't the whole idea of "casual" sorta preempt the whole notion of pre-ordering?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on July 08, 2009, 09:27:27 PM: Maybe its the "gamers" that are pre-ordering it for their "casual" friends/family since the "gamers" are trying to get the "casuals" to play something other than WiiSports, WiiPlay, & WiiFit for atleast the last year if not longer.

Or maybe because the "gamers" are excited to play the "casual" game of WSR too?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on July 08, 2009, 09:30:07 PM: Or maybe it just goes to show how ridiculous the labels are?

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 08, 2009, 10:22:37 PM: Anybody know the actual total sales of Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G? For some reason the "BEST" (which is like the Japanese version of the Greatest Hits line) version of games are tracked separately. So the "PSP The Best" version of the game has sold 807K, but the game itself has sold a lot more.

Can a casual be hardcore at being casual? That's some Zen, right there.

Casuals are pretty damn hardcore about their games (go play Tetris against a casual gamer...), they just aren't hardcore about buying many games or dealing with the whole gaming "culture". They're just people who love some games. Obviously the label got applied by people who didn't have a clue and it's hilarious to see people argue "casual gamers do X because they're casual".

"Casual" gamers enjoy games that is what they primarily care about, self proclaimed "hardcore" gamers think their opinion matters more then anyone else and think they are special. One doesn't care about ego, one tries to make up for low self esteem.

That is how I will define those categories from now on.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Deguello on July 09, 2009, 04:11:40 AM: LOL. I didn't mean to spark a definition clavern. Just picture somebody who's really hardcore and concentrating really hard on having a fleeting interest and a yeah-whatever flippancy about video games.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on July 09, 2009, 07:01:08 AM: So I looked at the Nintendo Channel's numbers on Conduit trying to determine tentative numbers but I've forgotten how to do the math.

The total hours spent playing are 74,522. The average per player is 10 hours and 42 minutes. So about 116 people have the game who use the Nintendo Channel tracking feature. The question is what percentage is that of the total. I've forgotten what that was. Does anyone know? 5% is stuck in my mind but that would mean only about 2320 people got the game so that can't be right. Am I off on my math? Can anyone help me turn this data into a rough figure? Or do we not have enough data to come up with a figure. I'm rusty with this kind of math. Maybe it's 0.5% but that still lowballs it at 23,200. 0.05% would make it 232,000.

I only have my Wii available to me right now so I can't easily search for the actual percentage numbers. I found it on a site attempting to predict WiiWare sales. Also, is my math right if the percentages are accurate?

Might be fun if we could try and calculate the sales. I suppose we could try a control calculation with a game that's total sales are better known (like Mario Kart or something) to find the correct percentage. I'll try it out tomorrow when I have access to a proper computer.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: kraken613 on July 09, 2009, 10:42:55 AM: Doesn't it only track if you log into the Nintendo channel? I raley open it up and go in and I think most people would be like that.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on July 09, 2009, 11:58:28 AM: It only tracks you if you actually use the Nintendo channel - and tell it to share your information.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: kraken613 on July 09, 2009, 12:06:53 PM: I have it set to tell but I barley log into it...
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on July 09, 2009, 12:55:07 PM: Nintendo channel #'s are nothing you should bother trying to build a trend from.
Not nearly enough data from a large enough sample size to do anything meaningful with.

Nintendo channel listed data accounts for approximately 11.2% of known VC/WiiWare sales.

This is where I got the data from. WW/VC dataprobably is different from disc sales.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 09, 2009, 06:13:50 PM: Considering you have to connect online to buy VC/WW games, I would say the average person buying VC/WW games is more aware of the Nintendo Channel than other Wii owners.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on July 09, 2009, 10:07:32 PM: True. But I'm going to try and work backwards with a known number like Animal crossing or Mario Kart Wii and see if I can find a loose percentage to apply to Conduit and see what it is. Might be a fun way of predicting sales before NPD comes out.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: kraken613 on July 09, 2009, 10:09:21 PM: There where reports it sold 100,000 in the first week, which is all we will see in the June NPD's.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on July 09, 2009, 10:12:30 PM: I estimated 130k for June NPD, so that would mean I was close.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on July 13, 2009, 02:06:56 PM: Second link is broken, the URL it leads to is truncated, not just the text.

Does that set any records or is it par for the course?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on July 13, 2009, 06:53:20 PM: It at least broke this years records. Mario & Luigi 3 didn't even reach 700k since it was released so that's saying something. It nearly outsold Pokemon Platinum's LTD numbers in two days. Krikey! People aren't kidding when they say DQ is a huge seller.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on July 14, 2009, 04:28:05 AM: The Escapist says it broke the Japanese record which was held by DQ8.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on July 14, 2009, 05:12:02 AM: Expect that stupid Monster Hunter PSP game to finally drop off the top 10 list now. Its going to be interesting to see DS hardware sales. I am certain they have jumped up as a result of this.

Don't we get a system top ten from them as well?

How long ago did some of those other games come out? Did Prototype come out around the same time as Conduit?

Casual players buy Mario Kart
Mario Kart = Thick Box
Thick Box =Tiger Woods + Motion plus
Tiger Woods + Motion Plus bought by Casual Players

Thats how it happened

According to the "*" in the NPD post, Tiger Woods sales don't include all the copies sold with M+ bundled in.
I hope those number get leaked too.

Doesn't hardware in this context mean systems, not controllers/accessories? Remember Wii Play was up there and it came with a remote.

Wow 440k M+ out in the wild before the release of WiiSports Resort.

I bet Nintendo wishes that had just included more dual M+ multiplayer WSR action like Boxing using 4 M+'s for 2 players

Punch Out 2, maybe?

PS2, and DS also didn't change much. dropping a point or two isn't so much a decline as it is variance.

I've been thinking about getting renting Tiger Woods. Other than the Wii Sports golf, my Dad and I haven't played a golf game since the SNES. I want to try it and see if he likes it. He used to be a real golfer.
Title: Nintendo PR NPD June 2009
Post by: SalesBot on July 16, 2009, 08:51:13 PM: Quote from: Nintendo PR
In the United States in June, the Nintendo DS™ and Nintendo DSi™ systems combined to sell more than 766,000 units, more than all current-generation consoles combined, according to the NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States. U.S. consumers purchased more than 424,000 Nintendo DSi systems and more than 342,000 Nintendo DS systems in June.

Wii™ marked its 21st consecutive month as the top-selling U.S. home console, with nearly 362,000 sold. Consumers also snapped up nearly 374,000 Wii MotionPlus™ accessories, including nearly 205,000 packaged with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 from Electronic Arts and 169,000 additional accessories sold on their own. The Wii Sports Resort™ game launches July 26 and comes packaged with Wii MotionPlus.

“More consumers continued to gravitate toward products that offer quality experiences and great value for the whole family,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Consumers again selected Nintendo systems for those experiences, particularly our hand-helds.”

Four games published for Nintendo platforms finished in the top 10 best-sellers of June in the United States. These include EA Sports Active at No. 3 with more than 289,000 sold, Wii Fit™ at No. 4 with more than 271,000 sold, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 with Wii MotionPlus at No. 7 with nearly 205,000 sold and Mario Kart™ Wii at No. 8 with more than 202,000 sold.

Sega came out and said that they where surprised with how well Conduit did.

Where is this leak from? I doubt 26k would make it on the system top 10.

I agree. I'm going to guess it will break 250k this month.

71k is decent for nine days, I was hoping for a 100k. It's surely over a 100k in the US now.

I can't help but wonder if the people who purchased Wii Motion Plus separately know that it isn't compatible with already released games...

Or maybe they just don't want the games that are out right now that support Motion Plus? I know that's been a factor for me, as I'm probably going to buy it separately since I don't want Wii Sports Resort or either of the EA titles.

As for the Conduit's sales, it is only a little over a week in sales so it's not that bad. But honestly, I can completely understand if this game doesn't sell all that great. It's not "the one" that I surmise we were all looking for.

It's quite possible. Nintendo's been hyping Wii Motion Plus so much that at least I can feel fairly confident it'll get used in something I do want somewhere down the line. They may be under the impression that said game will be coming out this fall, and aside from Red Steel 2 they'll be disappointed but theoretically that could be happening.

Wii Play + (w/ remote)

And why would that be? It is packaged with a Wiimote so a lot of people view it as a deal, sometimes stores sell out of the stand-alone Wiimote and it is the only choice, and other times it is on sale for the same price as a Wiimote. It makes sense to me it would continue to sell so well.

Especially with nearly every sales clerk being trained to recommend it to new users. I swear anytime I buy Wii stuff they try to get me to buy one. I've also watched clerks at nearly every store I've been at recommending it to people who are considering a Wii.

Post by: TJ Spyke on July 18, 2009, 04:33:38 PM: There is a reason Wii Play is the best-selling non-bundled game of all time, it's basically a $10 game with a Wii Remote included. Anybody who needs an extra Wii Remote and doesn't already have Wii Play should just spend the extra $10. I don't have the game, but I have hear great things about several of the minigames in it.

I am shocked that for the first time in 29 months the game was not in the overall top 10 (although I think that may change soon).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on July 18, 2009, 04:53:38 PM: If Resort sells as well as people seem to think it will here Nintendo may not need to bundle anything else with the Wii. Just release new must-have casual titles.

New people could get the following:
Wii-$250
Wii Play-$50
WS Resort-$50
and
Mario Kart Wii or Wii Fit for $50/$90

Mario Kart DS still sells. Excitebots was the sequel to a not million-selling Wii launch game. I don't think it's a simple either/or proposition. And the most recent Mario Kart ad I've seen was more an ad for the DS and DSi itself.

When will this childish company grow up and localize/publicize all of its products with a minimum level of respect? These dead-end projects should just be cancelled and have the project money spent on Wii Music commercials if this is the kind of shitty publisher behavior they're going to maintain to maximize profits.

Or maybe Excite Truck just wasn't that good a game? Advertising isn't some kind of magickal elixir that will quadruple sales just cuz. I remember Bionic Commando got a lot of ads. Please ask Capcom about that. A lot of S-E's 360 games got advertised greatly, and most of them didn't fare so well either.

Meanwhile, Mario Kart DS is the perfect game to accompany DS and DSi into new users hands, which brings in money, and this money, when added to a bottom line, makes a company profit. And with this profit they can venture into new territories, like, say, making a game about racing Robots.

Yes. And being a Seattle local, I know that Japan loves our Ichiro of Mariner fame. He's a hero to them.

They won this year's World Baseball Classic: http://web.worldbaseballclassic.com/index.jsp
South Korea came in a very respectable 2nd place.

Post by: TJ Spyke on July 25, 2009, 12:29:27 PM: Baseball is hugely popular in Japan, almost as much as it is here in the United States.

Nintendo owns 54% of the Seattle Mariners (Hiroshi Yamauchi led a consortium to buy the team when the owner was gonna sell them to a group that wanted to move them to Florida if nobody in the Seattle are was willing to pay his asking price. Yamauchi sold his shares in the team to Nintendo in 2004).

Title: DQIX: 3.2 Million Served
Post by: SalesBot on July 27, 2009, 10:43:40 PM: DQIX: 3.2 Milllion Served (http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2009/07/27/dqix_sales_update/)

Quote from: Article linked above
Pertinent news for those making wagers on Dragon Quest IX sales. The Square Enix blockbuster, having reached the 2.9 million mark in sales last week, was, barring an unexpected drop in interest, scheduled to cross 3 million this week. It did just that, according to Famitsu.com.

Citing stats from Enterbrain, the site reported today total sales of 3,217,502 units for the game. This figure covers from July 11, the game's release, to July 26, the close of Enterbrain's latest tracking period.

This is the fastest sales pace ever for a DS game. The site didn't provide similar third week sales stats for DQVIII, although DQIX was tracking better than its predecessor as of last week.

DQIX was number one two weeks running in weekly sales charts from Media Create. With an additional 300,000 or so, it will likely remain number one this week as well.

Not only didn't he retire, he re-signed with the Nintendo-owned Mariners after a long time on other teams. That's a good indicator that he may be retiring soon, though.

Post by: Mop it up on July 28, 2009, 12:22:16 AM: I just assumed he did since Nintendo stopped making his baseball games. But I'm sure there's someone more relevant they could use if Nintendo decided to create another baseball game.

'99->'09 = $428,284,392
Q1 2010 = -$416,670,000
_____________________
total profit = $11,614,392 over the last 10 years (Y wont Sony drop the price of the P$3!!)

I'm still not sure how the PS3 managed to nearly erase all the profits from the PS1&PS2 eras, but that is still nothing in comparison to the massive loses that MS has taken on.
If it wasn't for the massive restructuring that they did, they wouldn't even show those last two years as profitable. They are just shuffling losses to other departments by moving the debt around.

SEGA Quarter 1 financial statement

The Conduit sold 150K units in North America, ending June 30, 2009. Europe didn't receive the game until July 10.

LOL CAN'T TRUST NPD ANYMORE HUH

Interesting. I think this shows that NPD fails at guessing Wal-Mart sales and possibly doesn't take Amazon/other online site sales.

Is NPD typically this far off? It really makes me wonder about some of the other Wii games that sold with mediocre/average sales.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 31, 2009, 05:21:06 PM: I think the surprising thing in the quarterly financial report Nintendo released today is that they only had 4 games sell 1 million or more worldwide for April/May/June:

Pokemon Platinum
Wii Sports
Wii Fit
Mario Kart Wii

I believe that is 150k shipped/sold to retailers, not sold to consumers.

but I could be wrong.

Post by: TJ Spyke on July 31, 2009, 11:01:37 PM: It's not that NPD chooses not to count certain stores, Walmart just refuses to share their sales numbers (I think it was only last year that they finally started sharing their CD sales info with SoundScan).

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on August 02, 2009, 03:29:24 PM: Actually what NPD takes an avg of XXX amount of stores to figure out it's totals. For example if Target gets 100 titles and sold 50 that's a 1/2 sold so if Walmart gets 400 of the same title they figure 200 sold baised on what target sold. It's more complex than that but you get the idea and NPD states so right on their charts usually about how much is guess work.

And you have to factor in what the "term" shipped and sold mean to a publisher/manufactor. Alot of mom's and pop's stores buy games for resell but publishers count them as sold even though it's sitting on a shelf.

Sega might actually be off in this case and boosting numbers for their own interests--namely they were 100+ million in the loss for the quarter so they had to try to spin that around. And if you read the article it stated to both markets meaning Europe too. Just because the game isn't out for 1 week doesn't mean the pre-orders couldn't have been counted.

So yeah, NPD isn't perfect but what else are we going use :0.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on August 02, 2009, 03:35:47 PM: BTW: Sega Sammy been in the dumps for awhile now, it's really to bad because they do have talent when they chose to use it.

Maybe Nintendo will buy them out so we can get a GOOD SONIC GAME--for godsake anything will be better than the last six or so games.

Also Madworld's on sale so Support Sega love and buy it now for $20 a your local Gamestop. Sale ends today.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on August 03, 2009, 01:52:06 AM: Pretty sure Sega was counting sales to resellers there. Still shows the confidence people had in The Conduit if the initial shipment was only 150k for what was hyped as an AAA blockbuster game.

I won't buy MadWorld because it's not available here due to excessive violence. Not that I really care though...
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on August 03, 2009, 09:37:53 AM: Mom and Pop shops all but don't exist now though, and the few remaining probably didn't order too many, if any, copies of the Conduit. I wonder if NPD tracks 7-11.

Title: WSR sells 500k through Aug. 3rd
Post by: SalesBot on August 05, 2009, 05:39:40 PM: WSR Sells 500k through Aug. 3rd.

Quote from: Nintendo
REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nintendo has provided staycations to thousands of people nationwide since the July 26 launch of its Wii Sports Resort™ game. More than 500,000 units of the game for the Wii™ console sold in the United States through Aug. 3, according to Nintendo’s internal tracking numbers. The collection of 12 fun resort-themed sports lets players of all ages escape to a tropical island for some year-round summer fun. The game comes with one Wii MotionPlus™ accessory, which brings unmatched accuracy to games that have been specially designed for it.

“Through Monday we sold one copy of Wii Sports Resort roughly every 1.5 seconds continuously since it launched in the United States,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “This tells us consumers were eagerly waiting to get their hands on these fun activities, and it’s a great start for a game that will have long-lasting appeal.”

Wii Sports Resort includes archery, Swordplay, table tennis, basketball, golf, bowling, Air Sports, Power Cruising, Frisbee®, cycling, canoeing and wakeboarding. The game is easy enough for novices to pick up but contains a tremendous amount of variety and depth to keep veteran players and their friends and family members entertained for hours on end.

Remember that Wii features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about this and other Wii features, visit Wii.com.

Wii Sports Resort is available at a suggested retail price of $49.99. Additional Wii MotionPlus accessories are available at a suggested retail price of $19.99 each. For more information about Wii Sports Resort, visit www.WiiSportsResort.com.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on August 05, 2009, 07:36:47 PM: if you take the 763k WSR sold in Japan + the minimum of 300k M+ sold on its own (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=18481.msg529100#msg529100) over a month ago
take the 500k WSR sold in the US add that to the last known sold for TW of 273k + the 169 M+ sold on the solo in the US (as of June NPD)

Add in an estimate for GST and any M+ sold individually on he other side of the pond and I think M+ has crossed over the 2.5mill mark WW in a little over a month and a half. I wonder what 3rd parties have planned for M+ now that it has made its mark.

WSR Sells 500k through Aug. 3rd.

Quote from: Nintendo
REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nintendo has provided staycations to thousands of people nationwide since the July 26 launch of its Wii Sports Resort™ game. More than 500,000 units of the game for the Wii™ console sold in the United States through Aug. 3, according to Nintendo’s internal tracking numbers. The collection of 12 fun resort-themed sports lets players of all ages escape to a tropical island for some year-round summer fun. The game comes with one Wii MotionPlus™ accessory, which brings unmatched accuracy to games that have been specially designed for it.

“Through Monday we sold one copy of Wii Sports Resort roughly every 1.5 seconds continuously since it launched in the United States,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “This tells us consumers were eagerly waiting to get their hands on these fun activities, and it’s a great start for a game that will have long-lasting appeal.”

Wii Sports Resort includes archery, Swordplay, table tennis, basketball, golf, bowling, Air Sports, Power Cruising, Frisbee®, cycling, canoeing and wakeboarding. The game is easy enough for novices to pick up but contains a tremendous amount of variety and depth to keep veteran players and their friends and family members entertained for hours on end.

Remember that Wii features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about this and other Wii features, visit Wii.com.

Wii Sports Resort is available at a suggested retail price of $49.99. Additional Wii MotionPlus accessories are available at a suggested retail price of $19.99 each. For more information about Wii Sports Resort, visit www.WiiSportsResort.com.

- First third party console title this generation to exceed 500k first week.
- CC Pro bundles had high sell-through (~70-80%) compared to the standalone disc and also outsold it 2 to 1.
- Most buyers in the age range of university students. (Younger people were few in comparison.)
- Black Wii sold 45k, the special bundle sold 20k and both sold out.
- Lots of Wii Lan Adapters and Wii Points cards sold.

Post by: Deguello on August 12, 2009, 06:48:54 PM: Well, Monster Hunter 3 is now the #1 best selling third party console game in Japan this generation, beating out MGS4 for the top spot. So NOW can we have some real third party support up in this piece now that the ridiculous canard that third party games can't sell on Nintendo systems has been killed with extreme prejudice?

LOL Who am I kidding? They'll probably call it a fluke or that Monster Hunter is now kiddy or casual or a non-game or "just wait till FFXIII's 2nd Full Price Demo Disc" or something like that.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on August 12, 2009, 07:25:04 PM: You mean it even beat MGS4? Are you talking LTD or just the first few weeks of sales?

What were MGS4's numbers?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Deguello on August 12, 2009, 07:45:44 PM: MGS4 is something to the tune of 680K-700K or something (dunno about the "Best Price" re-releases though). Monster Hunter 3 almost beat that in one day and looks to be the first million selling third party console title this whole generation, three years into it.

Ya think maybe there could have been more if they, ya know... backed the market leader with quality software instead of trying to cash-in on the "casuals" and throw insults at Wii owners?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on August 12, 2009, 07:49:47 PM: MGS4 sold 476,334 copies in the first four days on release in Japan.

MH3 beat that in 2 days.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on August 12, 2009, 07:51:02 PM: Maybe this will change their tune? I mean, we already have DQX coming to Wii and a number of other promising efforts coming, like Crystal Bearers, which the creator reportedly views and the next true successor to the FF series. I'm hoping that devs were just really slow bringing them to market. They started dev late, so the games are coming late.

Quote
Wired.com: What about The Conduit?

Hayes: We actually regard The Conduit as a success. We shipped 300,000 units, sold through half of those and now it’s at the point where it’s selling consistently at a time when Wii sales are generally depressed in the marketplace. So what does that tell you? We still kind of don’t know.
http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2009/08/mike-hayes-interview/

So, the SHIPPED numbers for Conduit were 300k. That means the 150k number from a week or two ago must have been something else. ERGO, the 72k NPD number was off.*

*keeping in mind July sales.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on August 13, 2009, 02:44:58 AM: [Theory]
You also gotta remember that SEGA didn't pay for the development of The Conduit, only the Publishing of it. If 150k sold makes for profit for Sega, then I can only hope the same is true for HVS.

But this does mean that it's very likely that Sega has already picked up publishing rights for The Grinder.

Nice to hear. Selling consistently means it could become known as one of the staple games everyone buys. I won't hold my breath for it going evergreen, but it could carry through the holidays at this rate.

Wii outsells UK rivals in 2009

The Nintendo Wii has outsold all other consoles in the UK by some margin so far this year, GamesIndustry.biz can reveal, notching up almost 800,000 units shifted since the beginning of January.

Meanwhile the DSi has now sold 370,000 units, giving it a faster rate of sale in the first four months than either the DS or the DS Lite.

The numbers, released to GamesIndustry.biz following an investigation into confusion previously caused by a GAME financial statement, also show the DS Lite at over 680,000 for 2009.

The issue arose following a re-evaluation by Chart-Track of its upweight - the estimate it makes to bridge the gap between the numbers it receives from its retail panel and the rest of the UK market.

Why does the Wii continue to get shafted so that money can be spent to support the PS3? That money would be better spent developing for the Wii and down porting to the PS2. Sony needs a miracle and I'm not sure that the Go/Slim combo are gonna provide that.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on August 15, 2009, 09:02:59 PM: PSP Go will be a failure IMO. The high price ($250) alone will kill any chance of it competing with the DS. Same thing with the rumored PS3-slim if they keep it at the same price as the current PS3. CheapyD and Wombat had a good point in the CAGcast, the size of the PS3 has nothing to do with the low sales of the system and that is the only real benefit know about it (even if it restored PS2 compatibility, I doubt that would help much).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on August 15, 2009, 10:33:11 PM: I'm sure that the Slim is coming, and I'm pretty sure it will retail @ $399 w/o PS2 BC.
Sony is bleeding right now and really can't afford to take a loss on their biggest selling product in hope of making the money back later on software. Even their software isn't doing all that hot in comparison with the 360 (Wii & DS too).

PSP Go is an attempt to sell more hardware at a profit and caters to all the PSP owners that have already hacked the system to death and don't use the UMD drive anyway.
At the asking price, I expect this to be a really slow seller and don't personally see the appeal for it above a regular PSP. It's missing functionality(UMD), brings nothing new to the table(built in flash.... why not just use the memory sticks you already have?) and at a higher price. Why buy it?

Sony is in a bad place right now, and I would be surprised if MS doesn't try to capitalize on it somehow. Force Sony to prematurely make another move that they weren't ready to make, and make them do it while it will cost them more than they want to pay for it (like rushing PS3 to market even though the components were still too expensive).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: nickmitch on August 15, 2009, 10:39:56 PM: MS could put out the next Xbox whenever the hell they want. They're really in control of how long this gen is at this point. Sony can't make the next move, Nintendo won't, that just leaves MS in that perfect position. Although, they'd still need to work out their own timing, they could easily **** over Sony.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on August 15, 2009, 11:06:57 PM: I don't think that people use modded their PSP's will be getting the PSP Go. The PSP-3000 has yet to be hacked (at least the last time I checked, which was a few months ago), so I don't think the PSP Go will be hacked anytime soon after it comes out.

As for Microsoft, I don't think they are in any position to control this gen. That is up to Nintendo.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on August 15, 2009, 11:25:43 PM: Nintendo is in a position of comfort, they want to milk their position for as long a possible, & I guarantee you they could release the WiiHD tomorrow if they wanted to.

MS is eager to hit Sony when it hurts, and releasing the Nextbox360 before Sony can put out a PS4 is the best way to make Sony continue to bleed. THe Xbox only lasted for 4 years and next year is #5 for the 360. MS isn't really in a rush right now to push the next console since they are finally making a profit on the 360 (through debt shuffling), but I bet they have the Nextbox in the finalizing stages and ready to go at the first sign of Sony trying to get their legs underneath them.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: mac<censored> on August 16, 2009, 12:30:18 AM: If MS has already developed their next gen system, and is just sitting on it until the time is right to deliver the killing blow to Sony, then hopefully they'll have lots and lots of idle time to perfect their quality control!

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: SixthAngel on August 16, 2009, 11:32:18 AM: I think Mario Kart games have such legs because Nintendo doesn't release sequels on the same platform. Every other company would have released 5 Mario Kart DS games by now too milk it dry and double or triple dip the customers. Soon everyone would get tired and the next iteration wiould do much worse.

Nintendo releases it once and has it be the definitive cart experience. If someone likes a game like that there is one in the store and no confusion or huge discounts and trade ins from the previous version. When the next console comes around people don't feel burnt out on the experience and everybody are ready for more on the new system.

Imagine if the Tony Hawk games were released once per system. They would be special and wouldn't seem like old hat. I see Nintendo's strategy as long term management of their properties while example like Tony Hawk is trying to suck out as much money as quickly as possible.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on August 16, 2009, 12:28:59 PM: That's exactly why (mainline) Mario & Zelda games usually sell like they do. They don't come around very often and thats exactly what makes them special, since you know Nintendo put years of development into each one and this is probably all your gonna get for a few years.

The PS3 slim is mostly for Japan as it's always been said they prefer smaller things due to thier small living compartments. It also gives them a chance to change the image of their machine. The DS was struggling against the PSP until the DS Lite came out and became the sexy machine that the DS wasn't. Unless it's a clearance sale (like the original 20 gig and 60 gig were) there are already images popping up online that the PS3 will start at $299 starting next month. That's a significant drop and should build interest into the holidays. Sure they'll never catch the Wii in userbase, but that still shows a very good brand image for the price point they've been at this generation.

Now the GO, I'm not really sure what they are trying to do with that. Well, I guess they are trying to compete with the IPOD touch, but minus the touch. Which I don't think will make anyone change from Apple to Sony. They really missed an opportunity in my opinion because a rebranded PSP Go at $169 would have compared favorably (in my opinion) to the DSi at $169. At $249, it's not on most people's radar.

Post by: Deguello on August 16, 2009, 08:20:49 PM: No, Sony's doing bad because they are still bleeding out money, and in third place with a console that still costs too much.

Just the fact that the PS3 is keeping PACE with the GC should set those editorial writers a-typing as that is pathetic for the one-time ruler of video games. The fact that the Wii Balance Board has as much userbase as the PS3 is embarrassing, and not something they can rectify with a Wiimote knockoff and Hannah Montana PSPs.

I don't really think Sony is doing that bad. After this Christmas they will be over where the Gamecube was for it's lifetime.

DS struggling against the PSP? Maybe for the first 8 months. One Nintendogs came out, the DS took off and never looked back. The PSP was never a serious threat after that. How do you think Sony is not doing bad? They have yet to make a profit on the PS3, and Sony as a whole has had two straight quarters of losing more than $1 billion (when they hadn't lost money since 1995).

Considering that the GameCube really only did well in North America, I don't think matching equally against it is a big accomplishment. The PS3 is in a distant third place and I don't think a slimmer system will help that much. A $300 price tag would help, but I still think they will remain in third.

Post by: KDR_11k on August 17, 2009, 02:41:10 AM: The DS was struggling initially but yeah, I'd rather look at software than hardware updates when it comes to reasons for the DS dominance and Nintendogs is the kind of killer app that boosted the DS.

Sony may have a good chance to beat Microsoft by a small amount but that's really just a pyrrhic victory.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on August 17, 2009, 04:10:19 AM: The key difference between the Nintendo of the Gamecube era and the Sony of the PS3 era is that Nintendo actually made money with their system. Sony does not. That is why Nintendo was in an 'OK' position with GC and Sony is not doing even remotely well with the PS3.

Why do people act like the giant money sink that is the 360 is doing so much better than the ps3. The whole point of launching early isn't just to get the extra units out the door, it is supposed to give you momentum and advantage. They seem to be doing equally shitty. Low selling, money losing (especially when you add in the red ring stuff).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: smallsharkbigbite on August 17, 2009, 07:49:37 AM: We all know Nintendo did great this generation, but Sony has done okay in my mind this generation.

Nintendogs may have been the downfall of the PSP. But the PSP is most successful console launch of this era. 50 million in sales is nothing to laugh at and the PSP did outsell the DS in it's launch year. I'd also wager it is making Sony money but it's impossible to tell because of the losses of the PS3 run thru the same division.

The PS3 is what it is. They priced it out of the market and they added features (blu-ray) that were costly and not important to the consumer. They had two options. Cut the PS3 entirely, which would have saved them the most money, or run the gauntlet of the generation and make thier next console better (hopefully they will). With what they launched with, it will be a victory to come in 2nd in this generation. Nintendo hit a home run with motion control and I'm not convinced a $250 PS3 from the get go would have been able to hold off the Wii.

Sony did lose a lot of money with the PS3 and they aren't going to get it back. But the rumored slim is rumored to cost around $250 to manufacture so a price point of $300 will hold the losses and allow them to build going into the next generation. Yeah their launch was a disaster, but a $300 PS3 would go along way towards healing with the public. Sony made $369 billion yen last year. Did Nintendo make more, I think they did, I'm sure someone here can let me know. But the PS1+PS2 only ever made them a couple of billion. If you are looking at $ Nintendo's model will always make more $. Sony focuses on selling you the PS3 so you get the Bravia TV, and the Sony soundsystem, and the Sony Blu Ray player, etc. etc. They want to make money clearly which they didn't but they view the PS3 as a gateway where if a console fails for Nintendo they have to scramble to stay afloat.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Tanatoes on August 17, 2009, 08:45:25 AM: Since we're making predictions for the next generation here's mine:

The next HD consoles will be aimed at 3D gaming using polarized glasses like the current 3D in the cinema. Supposedly James Cameron's Avatar can already do this if you're running in 1080p using HDMI. This will also be the selling point that finally gives Blu-Ray and advantage over standard DVD.

The next handhelds will also go 3D. I've postulated that by putting two LED lights on the end of the stylus and detecting them with the built in camera on the DSi they could allow the player to "grip" and manipulate objects that appear to extend out of the screen at them. Using a very finely lenticulated film they will be able to aim alternate columns of pixels to the left or right, providing a 3D view without the need for glasses.. as long as you look at the screen from straight on. (So technically the DSi could do 3D with only small modifications right now!)

Sorry to keep derailing the thread. I'm sure SalesBot will get us back on course quickly.

Um, you do know that Microsoft has been making money on the Xbox 360 for at least the last 8 months? The PS3 has only barely been selling better than the Xbox 360 was at this point in its lifetime, and that is only because of Japan. The Xbox 360 has barely made a dent in Japan but it is easily beating the PS3 everywhere else.

Does making $369Billion Yen equal losing over $570million US?

Because Sony actually lost money last year, so by default, Nintendo made ALOT more than them. 2010 isn't looking so hot for Sony either, atleast not going by Q1 financials

You can see from this chart, that Sony has virtually erased all their profits from 1999 till present with the losses from the PS3 including a loss of $577million US last year.

Sony's Gateway clearly isn't working especially since their TV sales are also down thanks to stiff competition from off-brands (Vizio, Westinghouse, Olevia) and cheaper quality from the likes of Panasonic & Samsung.

That's actually pretty funny. My bad, I grabbed $369 billion yen from 2008 fiscal year. They are on the messed up terms so yes, they did just have a loss for 2009 fiscal year.

The big question is though, does that $20 billion get you better games or just the ability to gloat? Either way some Japanese guy in a private jet thanks you.

It's gotten me more better games than I could adbsorb last gen. But gaming died when the PS2 came out, so it's all relative.

I could agree with both of your points. The gamecube was a much better machine than the wii to me although the market differs in my opinion. Although third parties largely ignored the machine, I always felt like I had something worthwhile to play. Maybe I'm just reaching that age when gaming isn't my thing anymore. I'm actually a Nintendo fanboy. I'd just like someone around here to see that Nintendo isn't perfect with their approach to gaming. But every time I state they could be doing something better, I get $20 billion disagrees with you, or 50 million Wiis sold disagrees with you. Not exactly thought provoking.

You don't have to be a perfect company to be wildly entertaining within gaming and outside gaming.

We all know Nintendo did great this generation, but Sony has done okay in my mind this generation.

Your mind is immaterial to the discussion. Sony's bled out billions and squandered their ENTIRE Playstation1 and Playstation 2 profits in 3 years. That is an undisputed catastrophe, period.

Quote
Nintendogs may have been the downfall of the PSP. But the PSP is most successful console launch of this era.

Err, what? No. Wii's had to most successful console launch this "era."

Quote
50 million in sales is nothing to laugh at and the PSP did outsell the DS in it's launch year.

That's just not true. DS led PSP in Japan for 2004-2005 and the DS was out in America, Europe and Japan in 2004, with the PSP delayed to 2005 in America and Japan. And 50 millions sales is plenty to "laugh at" when they still bleed out money.

Quote
Your talking games division. I was talking Sony Consolidated.

I don't think you understand that, if Sony's continues to bleed out money like this, through their games division, and the recession worsens, and this division is seen as a drag on profits (which would be almost a billion without the games division, which would be great for goodnews hungry investors), they WILL spin it out or kill it off. That's why the division's losses are also important by themselves.

Quote
But every time I state they could be doing something better, I get $20 billion disagrees with you, or 50 million Wiis sold disagrees with you. Not exactly thought provoking.

And everytime somebody says, rightly, that without a major restructuring or massive cuts to its game division, Sony is basically screwed in the games market for the near future, you say something like "Oh Sony's not in that bad a position, I mean HD graphics will win the day and a $300 redesign of an unpopular system will turn it all around." That's not exactly intellectually stimulating, either.

But then Nintendo shows up with $20Bilion in profit and reminds us that we have no fucking clue as to what the hell we are talking about.

We want things like More Games, more "core" games, more VC games, more downloadable games, better marketing for deserved games, more online games, better online structure, a legit HDD option for Wii, more colors, more options, more Mario, less mario, etc, etc. we all think Nintendo could be doing something better, but what we think doesn't seem to really matter because here we are: Wii next to the TV, DS on the table, dozens of games for either system & there is Nintendo with $20BILLION DOLLARS in the bank while Iwata: (laughs)

most of us are tired of arguing the point. Nintendo will do what Nintendo will do & what Nintendo does will be best for Nintendo. Not you. not me. not us (the vocal minority). Most of us are over it.

BNM has a point, Nintendo has proven over the last decade they know how to make money. They've shown they probably know what they are doing more then Sony or MS.

Probably? I don't think anyone can argue against the long-term profits Nintendo's generated. And that's the real judge of any business. Let me ask you: in 5 years which company (or division) do you think will most likely be no longer? I'd have to say SCE. Microsoft seems more likely to support their xbox division, even if unprofitable. Either way, I'm confident that only one of those two will survive through 2020. I'm supremely confident that Nintendo will be there, as is there is nothing to suggest they won't be. And that's essentially my point.

Well not for me, but in the mainstream its going to do a lot for Sony.

Uncharted 2 is DA SHATZ!

Grand Turismo 5, Heavy Rain, Team Eco's new game, ect.... Sony has a better exclusive line up than Microsofts which includes... wait for .... Halo.... (Halo SUCKS!)

Just think, some of Sony's biggest franchises haven't even reached the PS3 yet. Also Final Fantasy 14 is exclusive.

The first Uncharted only did OK in sales. The last Gran Turismo game did pretty poorly and really only appeals to Sony diehard fans, the people who already own a PS3. Heavy Rain will be lucky if it doesn't bomb. Team Ico's game will sell OK, but not to casual gamers who don't own a PS3 yet. That line of "their biggest franchises" is what Sony fanboys have been saying since launch, and it hasn't been true. As for Final Fantasy XIV, that is a long way away and it's just gonna be another MMO. Final Fantasy did mediocre sales and I don't see XIV being different.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on August 18, 2009, 02:24:36 AM: IOW the PS3 has ALWAYS been JUST before the big breakthrough. By now expecting that to happen is like waiting for Duke Nukem Forever. Unreleased games always sound better than any released game.

As for the Wii game situation, my Wii shelf is about to hit its limit, I can only fit maybe 3 more games on there. Oh, wait, I haven't put Geometry Wars Galaxies and Punch Out on that shelf... While Nintendo's releases are sparse I don't think that's a deliberate choice on their part since they can only make so many games by themselves, they need third parties to fill those gaps and the third parties aren't doing so, only slowly waking up to it.

It's like Nintendo found a Genie, and said "we want our wii and system to sell far more than our competitors by a wide margine" but what they forgot to mention was that they wanted allot of great games to go with it it. So the genie gave them amazing sells numbers, but left them to develop games at their own slow but super high standard pace, which is good and bad but you know what I mean.

Makes me wish MadWorld waited for Motion Plus. So far, the Resort Swordplay involves swinging a solid object that bounces wildly when blocked. If it really behaved more like a Chainsaw or a Beam Katana, I could have fun slicing thru enemies as slowly or as quickly as I want, making meat sculptures out of them.

Forget man-darts, man-sculpture making contests are the new bloody mini game of choice!

And recalibration is just the risk you take in the heat of combat.

And maybe the chainsaw could jam if you try to swing it as fast as a sword instead of giving it time to actually cut?
Title: WSR over 3 million served
Post by: SalesBot on August 26, 2009, 05:17:09 AM: Nintendo sells 1 million units of WSR in the US and in EUR and in JPN

Quote from: Nintendo
WII SPORTS RESORT TOPS 1 MILLION IN U.S. SALES

Japan and Europe Also Hit 1 Million Unit Milestone

REDMOND, Wash., Aug. 25, 2009 - According to Nintendo's internal tracking figures, sales of the Wii Sports Resort™ game have surpassed 1 million copies in the United States since its July 26 launch. Japan and Europe have also sold more than 1 million copies each since the title launched in their respective markets. The collection of 12 resort-themed sports activities is on its way to becoming another Nintendo "long-tail" title that sells steadily over an extended period of time as opposed to a single flash on its launch day.

"Millions of consumers worldwide have demonstrated that they want their summer vacations to keep going," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "Wii Sports Resort provides both novice and veteran players a fun, virtual escape to a resort island with their friends and family - something that will be even more appealing as the weather turns cooler this fall and winter."

Wii Sports Resort includes archery, Swordplay, table tennis, basketball, golf, bowling, Air Sports, Power Cruising, Frisbee®, cycling, canoeing and wakeboarding. The game sells at a suggested retail price of $49.99 and comes bundled with a Wii MotionPlus™ accessory, which brings exacting precision to games that have been designed to use it.

Nintendo's internal sales figures also show that more than 2 million Wii MotionPlus accessories are now in the hands of consumers in the United States. That includes those bundled with Wii Sports Resort and Electronic Arts' Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10, as well as those sold separately at a suggested retail price of $19.99 each.

is this because of the PS3 Slim announcement, yet it not being released in Japan yet? or is it released in Japan?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on August 27, 2009, 02:31:23 PM: The previous week the PS3 only had 2 games in the top 30 and only sold about 6K systems, so I don't think the PS3 slim has anything to do with it. The PS3 is a non-factor in Japan. It might get a small boost when the PS3 Slim releases, but then will go right back to not mattering.

Problem is that PS3 slim was announced along with a price drop of about 10000yen, but PS3 hasn't seen a price drop yet in Japan. Anyone that knew of the price drop and when it was gonna happen would be a fool to buy a PS3 now instead of just waiting a few weeks for the smaller, cooler(temp), more reliable PS3 slim.

It is because the 80GB PS3 price didn't change in Japan.

I think Melty Blood isn't its own series, it's a continuation of Tsukihime. Melty Blood doesn't have any visual novels unless you count the dialogue screens in the story mode of the first MB and Re-Act but the scenario and most of the characters are based on a visual novel (the aforementioned Tsukihime).

I liked Act Cadenza (imported it) but from what I read on a fighting game Wiki the hardcore fighting fans think the barrier is way too easy to use (you get a whopping 8 frames!).

Post by: mac<censored> on September 03, 2009, 11:37:07 PM: I'm curious to see how the PS3 fares from the release of the slim.

I bought a PS3 slim yesterday, the day of the Japanese release, but I seemed to be the only one doing so at that store (which also had a huge stack of unused "reservation tickets" for them...), though it's a very very centrally located and busy game store.

Are they not essentially the same game though? Just because they switch a few of the pokemon around and change the color of the cart, doesn't really make it a different game. I say lump them together.

If PSP can get a brand new Soul Calibur game, why can't the Wii? Just use the Soul Calibur 2 Gamecube engine and add new characters and weapons.

Also, not many copies of King's Story were shipped, did they not expect it to sell well? Makes me wonder how well (poorly) it is doing in North America.

That doesn't matter. They were released as separate games and therefore should be tracked separately because the sales will be inflated by those who buy both. Do you think the sales of all of the re-releases of Super Mario Brothers should be counted as one? They're the same game too.

Post by: TJ Spyke on September 04, 2009, 11:40:05 PM: What I find odd is that they will lump Pokemon games together, but they will track "The Best" versions of games (like Monster Hunter Portable 2 G (BEST)) as separate games. The "Best" lineup is basically just the Japanese version of the Greatest Hits program. So it's the exact same game re-released at a lower price. So Monster Hunter Portable 2 G has sold more than 925K copies, that is just how many the budget re-release has sold.

If you want it changed, go call Media Create and tell them to change it. They are the ones lumping the titles together I believe. I think Famitsu may track them separately though.

It is a good point though as they track Sapphire separately and I believe there really isn't much different with that one either.

Actually they are released as different versions of the SAME game, and thats why there is nothing wrong with tracking them together. But like Louieturkey said, MC tracks them together and Famitsu tracks them separately.
SalesBot provides both of MC & Famitsu, so there really shouldn't be an issue.

For example; Nintendogs. There is only one Nintendogs. You don't have to buy all 3 version to get all the dogs. It's just like Pokemon (you don't have to buy them all) where it's meant to promote connectivity between people that have different version of the SAME game, so that you can access all the content. If someone buys all the version, then all that means is they are either a fanatic or don't have any friends.

It would be like counting the sales of the individual skus for Xbox360 or PS3 separately because they have different colors, sizes or prices. It is the exact same system with different version.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on September 05, 2009, 02:38:45 PM: There is a difference between Pokemon and Nintendogs. It is possible to get every dog in just 1 Nintendogs game. It is NOT possible to get every Pokemon with just 1 version of the game. Some are exclusive to each version and you need to trade to get them. There are also other small differences. They should NOT be tracked together as they are similar but different.

Post by: Stratos on September 05, 2009, 04:43:17 PM: The only issue is that games with multiple versions/skus hog up the top of the top of the charts. Not that big of a deal.

Us fanatics can just add up the numbers later from the different versions. Or the publisher will brag that X brand has sold Y many copies of games between all the versions.

Not really comparable because it's hardware not software and people don't buy multiple versions of the same system.

It doesn't matter how similar they are, they're separate releases so they should either be tracked separately or put into their own category of a game with multiple versions.

Yes they do. I have two DSs. One Red Phatty-type and one Red and Black Lite type. It isn't beyond the realm of possibility for people to have bought, say a collectors edition version of the 360 with HDMI as well as a launch console too.

And that's why the sales of the DS, DS Lite, and DSi are tracked separately. But those are hardware revisions which is a bit different. Nobody is going to buy an XBox 360 Pro and Core system. Besides, what you say supports my claim that all game releases should be tracked separately; it doesn't matter how slight the differences are, some people will buy both.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on September 06, 2009, 02:35:41 PM: My point is that even though things like that get tracked separately, to see what versions sells most, in the end they should all be counted together.

When we look back at how things have sold over the years, the releases are grouped by the unit
e.g. Pokemon Red/Blue, Pokemon Gold/Silver, Nintendogs(all 3), Xbox360(Arcade, Pro & Elite), NDS(phat & Lite)

When I look at a Pokemon release, I know it has multiple versons of the same game. Gold has 4 exclusive pokemon and an exclusive dojo, Silver has 4 exclusive pokemon & an exclusive dojo, but other than those swappable items, the game is exactly the same. I've never played any of the pokemon, but this is what I've been led to believe over the years. If that is true, and there are no differentiating game mecahnics between the two versions, then I don't see why they shouldn't just be tracked as Pokemon Gold/Silver in the grander scheme of things. The only reason you would need to see them tracked separately is if you worked at the manufacturer and needed to plan for restocking.

When we look back the only thing that matters is that we know that Pokemon G/S sold XXmillions, Xbox360 sold XXmillions, Nintendogs sold XX millions & DS sold XXXmillions.

But I'm not sure why we're even discussing this since Pokemon is tracked separately, Nintendogs is tracked separately and every other game with multiple versions is all tracked separately while they are selling.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on September 06, 2009, 06:30:54 PM: But when two games are placed on a best-seller list as the same unit, it isn't accurate or fair. A single game didn't sell that amount, it was two games, and the number wouldn't be that high if it were just one game. That's the point I'm trying to make here, which means it doesn't matter what the content of a game is. If it's a separate release it should get counted separately.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on September 06, 2009, 09:07:44 PM: But it is only one game. A single game with two versions. That is how it is mentioned on the Best Sellers list.
Pokemon Diamond/Pearl

It tells you there are 2 versions of the same game being counted together.
There is no deception. Whether you want to accept it or not Pokemon Diamond & Pearl are two versions of the SAME GAME. Pokemon Gold & Silver are two version of the same game. Pokemon Red & Blue are two versions of the same game. Wii White & Wii Black are two versions of the same system. DS Phat & DSLite are two version of the same system. PS3 bloat & PS3 slim are 2 versions of the same system.

They may all be tracked separately but they are still being counted together.
So I'm not really sure what is unfair or not accurate.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on September 06, 2009, 09:59:39 PM: They're put on the same list as games with only one version and are counted as being a better seller when really that's not true. They should either be on such lists as separate games or excluded all-together.

Post by: SalesBot on September 07, 2009, 06:51:50 AM: Chart-Track has told GamesIndustry.biz that sales of the PlayStation 3 have rocketed 999 per cent over the past week.
Quote
Sony introduced the new, slimmer SKU last Tuesday, and although Chart-Track does not reveal actual sales numbers, Dorian Bloch, director of the firm called the growth "a huge increase".

"The uplift on week 36 on week 35 is plus 999 per cent," revealed Bloch. "We don't give out the hardware numbers, but never-the-less it's a very large increase."

ChartTrack has told MCV that it is not releasing specific sales numbers, but did say:
Quote
“The sales increase is very impressive, making the PS3 the top selling hardware in Week 36. The Xbox 360, Wii and DS Lite all sold around the same amount last week – PS3 Slim outsold each of them by a ratio of three-to-one.”

The sales-tracking firm added that it’s unsure how long the uplift will continue for.
“The longevity of this uplift very much depends on the time of year. The PS2 Slim was released in November, much closer to Christmas. We’ll have to wait and see how things work out for Sony this time.”

Also software sales went up:

The greatest benficiary is the 2007 title Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which saw a massive 128 per cent rise in sales.

Stupidest quote ever (Ok, there's an awful lot of competition)?

People essentially stopped buying ps3s altogether before the slim release, so this increase is as expected.

Indeed, I'd say it's slightly pathetic that it only outsold its competitors 3:1, as those ps3 sales represented pent-up demand from people who have been waiting for a new model or lower price! The real test will be how well it does over time given the new price.

[And I bought a slim! So I'm not just a wii fanboy babbling... :)]
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Tanatoes on September 08, 2009, 10:42:44 AM: I agree that 3:1 is dire news for Sony. If the numbers are anything like we've seen from Japan in the past weeks then the PS3 has had essentially zero sales in the past two weeks (below PS2 even) so outselling the DS 3:1 this week would mean that if you average the last three weeks then the PS3 is only on par with the other consoles. It doesn't help them make up all the lost ground they've got to cover.

Maybe the LCD shutter glasses they're demonstrating for HD 3D gaming will help?

But you need a 120hz TV to even take advantage of the 3D effect. Which means anyone that bought a TV before early this year probably didn't even have the option to accidentally buy one. Once again Sony would be only catering to the very TOP of the market base. Not usually a winning strategy...... as they already know from $599 US DOLLARS.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on September 09, 2009, 10:35:45 AM: 120hzTVs have been around since last year, maybe even before that. I don't think you need a 120hz TV for the non-glasses 3D effect, at least not with DLPs. Also, 120hz ruins everything it touches, aside from say Unreal Tournament.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on September 09, 2009, 03:29:25 PM: I thought 120hz was required for 60hz per eye with the glasses. Which is the same movie theater 3D effect they were trying to bring to the PS3.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on September 09, 2009, 03:45:30 PM: I've yet to see one of those new 3-D movies. How good is the 3-D effect in them? Wouldn't head tracking be an easier way to create good 3-D effects? We're already talking about goggle/headband accessories so it's not that far fetched to throw that trick back into the equation.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on September 09, 2009, 04:05:00 PM: The 3D movies are all right. Last one I went to I had to put my glasses on upside down though, since thats was the only way the effect worked.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Deguello on September 10, 2009, 10:58:24 PM: I wouldn't put a lot of meaning behind the PS3s 151k sales. Ever since they announced the pricecut and redesign, their sales went into the crapper for all the weeks leading up to it. So the real net effect probably isn't much.

Hopefully Wii sales are spurred by New Super Mario Bros. Wii, similar to the way the DS was spurred by NSMB too.

Of course, this is probably the excuse some of the Japanese third parties were waiting for, a signal that the Wii "fad" is over.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on September 11, 2009, 01:21:09 AM: Did anyone really expect "My First Madden NFL" to sell well? EA fucks themselves every time they "stylize" the Wii Madden. The first and second Madden games sold over 150k, IIRC, then the last 2 have gotten worse and worse, even though the install base is much, much larger. I could care less, I don't play the game, but if they want to sell games, MAKE IT THE SAME FUCKING GAME AS THE OTHER VERSIONS. Ditch the "All Play" and the Blitz look, and make a fucking football game, with awesome controls. Tiger Woods on the Wii outsold all of the other versions (every year, too). Why? Because it's the same game as the other versions, only with unparalleled control.

what else came out last month?

Metroid Prime: Trilogy. That wasn't a new game though, so I am not sure it counts all that much.

Deguello, Sony announced the PS3 pricecut about a week before it took effect. Not sure how you could get "sales went into the crapper" from that. However, PS3 sales have been terrible anyways (especially considering that in North America it has been struggling just to outsell the PS2).

The next month it dropped back down to #3 and its previous sales numbers. PS3 got a boost from the release of the PS3 slim and is now dropping back down.

Am I the only one who can't read this chart? Alright, the vertical axis is the number of units sold, fine. But what's the horizontal axis? Number of weeks?

It's been out almost 2/3 as long according to that chart.

Maybe in Japan, but it didn't come out until May of last year in America, which is about the halfway point since the PS3's launch in November of '06.

Oh, my bad, I thought it was worldwide numbers. Still, I think the sentiment of my original post still stands.

Post by: Mop it up on September 26, 2009, 11:29:27 PM: It definitely isn't a good sign when a game on one system outsells a system itself. At least the Nintendo 64 still sold three times as much as the top-selling PlayStation game.
Title: Wii Sales up 1700%
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on September 27, 2009, 09:10:11 PM: Damn. Rmeember when Sony bragged about PS3 sales jumping 300% because of the price drop?

Wii sales increase by 1700% (http://news.punchjump.com/article.php?id=8722)
Quote
Nintendo Co.'s newly discounted Wii ended the sales streak of Microsoft Corp.'s Halo 3: ODST for the Xbox 360 this week at U.S. retail.

On Sun., sales for the Wii hardware ranked No. 1 at Amazon.com with a 1,700 percent increase in sales. Halo 3: ODST, previously the No. 1 ranking product in the division, ranked at No. 2 in the same period.

Amazon this week is offering a free $25 gift card in conjunction with the $199 Wii.

Additionally, it discounted ExciteBots: Trick Racing to $19.98, Wii Play to $39.98, the Wii Remote Controller to $33.98, and Wii Fit to $79.98.

Nintendo this month announced a $50 price cut for the Wii hardware. It previously sold at $249.99.

Microsoft this month announced a new $50 mail-in rebate offer with the purchase of the Xbox 360 Elite.

In the new offer, U.S. consumers who purchase an Xbox 360 Elite between Sept. 22 and Oct. 5 will be eligible to receive a $50 limited-time rebate.

Well well, I do believe I've been proven wrong on the impact of the price cut. Hats off to Nintendo. I didn't think the cut would spur this great a reaction.

Amazon offered a $25 gift card with the purchase of a Wii system yesterday. I doubt other retailers saw the same increase (although I don't doubt they did see some level of increase in sales).

I don't understand why they don't just release every game like this in all regions by default...

They've already done all the expensive development; all that it needs is translated text (there's basically no voice acting at all). That seems very very cheap, say, two translators for two months, a few 10s of thousands dollars. They'd make back the investment if they sold even a few thousand copies of the game (which they would -- it's a niche game, but well made and appealing)!

I'm sure there are games that require more work, but "Another Code" is not one of them!

You didn't include all the remakes in those figures.

All Time Top 50 (BEST, re-releases and remakes are included)
(http://i35.tinypic.com/2wrp5aa.jpg)
This is still not correct. It does not combine the FC and GBA versions of DQIII. Or the FC, PS1, & DS versions of DQIV. Tell me what game has the best sales over all different versions of the game. That's what I'm wondering. :)

Looking at the top two on that list, the real best-selling game is Super Mario Brothers.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: that Baby guy on September 30, 2009, 11:40:38 PM: That's debatable in regards to #2. With #1, though, Green and Red were one game... but Blue and Yellow were each re-releases and remakes, truthfully, particularly Yellow. Had they included Crystal in their Gold/Silver count, I'd definitely not count it, but G/S was designed at the same time, had the same production, and are virtually the same game, and I think it's fair enough to count them as the same title, since that's essentially how they were designed.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on September 30, 2009, 11:45:07 PM: Well, I know a lot of people disagree with me on this, but since they were released as two separate games there's no way to know how many people bought both (and some people definitely did), and therefore the number could be artificially inflated. It doesn't matter what the actual content is, individual releases should be counted separately. Super Mario Brothers on the GBA is exactly the same game as the NES version, should those sales be combined?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on October 01, 2009, 12:15:40 AM: For the last time, THEY ARE NOT TWO SEPARATE GAMES. They are TWO VERSIONS OF THE SAME GAME.

Just because some die-hards want to get both versions because they don't have friends to trade with doesn't make it a different game. Its the same thing with comic books. A special comic with 3 different covers, collectors get all 3.
Not because they are 3 different comics, but because they want to have EACH VERSION of the SAME COMIC for collector reasons.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread

I understand the logic but I don't agree with it. It is no big deal though because it is easy enough for me to see what the real best-selling games are.

True, but if you add the full LTD sales, Nintendo doesn't really care.

"Destroyed"? PS3 barely beat Wii in September, and it was only because of the price drop. PS3 sales are already dropping fast again and the Wii price cut already had a big boost (the price cut was only in effect for 4 days in that last time period, otherwise it would have been even higher). Besides, as others have said the Wii is still crushing the PS3 in LTD sales there. I don't think Nintendo is worried that the PS3 outsold the Wii in Septmeber in Japan, Nintendo is still winning 33 months to 1.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on October 08, 2009, 12:23:02 AM: Well a 250k unit difference between Wii & PS3 sales in the month of Sept. is probably something Nintendo cared about.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 08, 2009, 12:44:32 AM: I never said Nintendo cares, or I care, or anyone cares. I'm just saying PS3 *DESTROYED* Wii's sales in Japan in September. I wouldn't call 347k to 94k "barely" beating Wii.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on October 08, 2009, 12:55:25 AM: it was the kind of beating that the PS3 usually takes in the US. Down by 1/4 of a million units.
Nintendo had to drop the price just to save face.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on October 08, 2009, 04:21:04 AM: Nintendo's problem is, and has always been, the lack of quality 3rd party games. Nintendo can lower the price of the Wii, but it won't help all that much because they are already the cheapest. They absolutely need the 3rd party support...

GTA, Street Fighter, RE5, etc. These games are absent from the Wii library, and until that changes Nintendo won't be able to win.

Nintendo's problem is, and has always been, the lack of quality 3rd party games. Nintendo can lower the price of the Wii, but it won't help all that much because they are already the cheapest. They absolutely need the 3rd party support...

GTA, Street Fighter, RE5, etc. These games are absent from the Wii library, and until that changes Nintendo won't be able to win.

Win what, exactly?

If those titles were present on Wii earlier, what would they do? Sell the systems that were already missing from store shelves at sold-out stores? Really? This is losing?

Yeah because GTA and the RE games just sell so amazingly well in Japan. I mean they really helped PS3 stay on top in Japan for so long right? Seriously this post seems like trolling, it makes no sense. Wii is still beating the competition and LTD is pretty much out of reach for the other consoles, but they are losing? Rrright.

Well a 250k unit difference between Wii & PS3 sales in the month of Sept. is probably something Nintendo cared about.

The PS3 got a boost from its price cut, and that boost has been quickly fading. Wii sales have been stagnant in Japan for a few months, so I don't think its price cut had anything to do with the PS3. I don't think Nintendo is worried or cares. October will be won by the Wii and things will be back to normal.

Chozo, why does Nintendo need third party support? They had next to little support for the N64 and GameCube and made tons or profit. They have also managed to sell over 52 million Wii's with not much serious third party support. The Wii easily outsells its competition in both hardware and software, so Nintendo has shown they do not need third parties. If anything, the third parties need the Wii (many third parties like Ubisoft have admitted that the profits they made from their Wii games funded development for their Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 games).

No doubt, but overall it didn't have much impact because it was so short lived. Now if PS3 was still selling a bunch more then Wii they may be worried but as it stands the bottom has fell out again on PS3 sales.

I agree completely, but I imagine there was a moment where someone told him how much the PS3 sales picked up due to a price drop & Iwata hiccuped in his Dom Perignon or Cristal spilling a little on his shirt.

This was after he read Sony saying that the world would be a better place if they won.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on October 08, 2009, 02:15:27 PM: and Nintendo realizing that the 250k bump Sony received almost tied the Wii & PS3 in YTD, and they know Sony will spin even the smallest of victories into something bigger than it really is. But really, who can blame them? if all you got is bread and butter, you make the best damn toast you can.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Tanatoes on October 08, 2009, 06:49:14 PM: Let's just say that there are some game types that the Wii doesn't have very well represented. Certainly I can't think of any vast sandbox games like GTA, Prototype or Saint's Row. (Well, okay, Spider Man 3 and Web of Shadows.. so one good sandbox game at least.) And in the genre of 3rd person shooters the Wii lags as well. Gears of War, Resident Evil 5, and umpteen GoW knockoffs vs... the Wii port of RE4. And There's not really much for the Wii in the way of multi-player co-op along the lines of Halo or Left 4 Dead.

I believe the Wii is fully capable of handling these genres if they're coded in a Wii-friendly manner.. they just haven't made it to the Wii yet for some reason.

Does that mean the the Wii "loses" to the HD consoles? Don't be ridiculous. In my mind it just means there's some BIG opportunities for third party developers who spend the resources to fill those gaps. In the mean time if you want GoW play it on your 360. I'll be over here playing Animal Crossing.

Let's just say that there are some game types that the Wii doesn't have very well represented. Certainly I can't think of any vast sandbox games like GTA, Prototype or Saint's Row. (Well, okay, Spider Man 3 and Web of Shadows.. so one good sandbox game at least.) And in the genre of 3rd person shooters the Wii lags as well. Gears of War, Resident Evil 5, and umpteen GoW knockoffs vs... the Wii port of RE4. And There's not really much for the Wii in the way of multi-player co-op along the lines of Halo or Left 4 Dead.

I believe the Wii is fully capable of handling these genres if they're coded in a Wii-friendly manner.. they just haven't made it to the Wii yet for some reason.

Does that mean the the Wii "loses" to the HD consoles? Don't be ridiculous. In my mind it just means there's some BIG opportunities for third party developers who spend the resources to fill those gaps. In the mean time if you want GoW play it on your 360. I'll be over here playing Animal Crossing.

Godfather and Scarface are both on Wii. On the flip side the 360/PS3 don't have all that many platformers, or survival horror games either. Each system has their strengths and weaknesses (though the PS3 and 360 share similar types of games between them).

Good point. I LOVED Godfather on the Wii - great use of motion controls. I've always meant to go back and play more Scarface.. never really gave it a chance. And I completely forgot Bully as well.

I'm still steamed that Godfather 2 didn't reach the Wii too. And I'm resisting the temptation to make a bad joke about EA bringing it to us as a On-Rails Lightgun shooter.

Nintendo's problem is, and has always been, the lack of quality 3rd party games. Nintendo can lower the price of the Wii, but it won't help all that much because they are already the cheapest. They absolutely need the 3rd party support...

GTA, Street Fighter, RE5, etc. These games are absent from the Wii library, and until that changes Nintendo won't be able to win.

Win what, exactly?

If those titles were present on Wii earlier, what would they do? Sell the systems that were already missing from store shelves at sold-out stores? Really? This is losing?

I know what you are saying. Nintendo is in 1st place and selling hardware and 1st party games, but that's all that can be said. Its like a paradox, because they are number one, but from the lack of quality support it doesn't feel like they're number one. So they are winning in a sense, but its a hollow sort of victory.

I want to play those games on Nintendo hardware.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on October 14, 2009, 03:23:19 PM: It's not really a special edition. It's just the regular game plus the updates that came out after the game. It does include a PSN code for some exclusive download items. My guess is that the NA version will come with the updates already on the disc too.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on October 15, 2009, 04:25:21 PM: Well I didn't expect the numbers to increase that much for the WII just for a $50 price drop. The software is lacking and most loyal fans already bought the WII. The numbers will increase as X-mas approaches but that's always nintendo strong suit since it's favorable with the parents.

"survival horror games either" ? Actually the Xbox/PS3 have more than the WII. Silent Hill actually had released one this generation, Homecomings I think, but nobody bought the damn thing. Same with Alone in the Dark and the now released Saw. Don't think the WII has to many yet unless you count the upcoming games like Grudge and Silent hill. The only title I can think of is Curse Mountain but I haven't played that one yet. If you meant rail-shooters like House of the Dead, than yeah there's not alot of them on these systems.

As for platformers, yeah the PS3 and Xbox 360 don't have any that excell well the PS3 has R&C series but it losted Sly Cooper and Jak games which is disappointing. But there's alot of indie games that are platformers like Braid or whatever it was called.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: GoldenPhoenix on October 15, 2009, 04:51:14 PM: Braid is more of a puzzle game. In regards to survival horror here is what I can think of for Wii:

-Obscure 2
-RE4: Wii Edition
-Cursed Mountain
-Alone in the Dark
-Lit? (Not sure if this counts)
-Ju-On
-Fatal Frame IV
-Man Hunt 2
-Escape from Bug Island (OK a terrible game but it is survival horror)
-Fragile? (seems to share many things with survival horror)
-Dead Space Extraction? (again not sure if this counts but supposedly it is quite creepy)

Coming up Silent Hill Shattered Memories and The Calling

RE: DSC

Do those games not count since they are on-rails/lightgun? You did kinda include DSE, so if that maybe counts, then those games should maybe count too.

Well HOTD isn't really a horror game it isn't trying to scare you or creep you out. RE: UC could count though and RE: DSC. HOTD probably shares more with Dead Rising in regards to it being more of a satire of horror games.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on October 15, 2009, 05:35:43 PM: yet still a horror game in which you must survive.

I think it fits the definition.

Er...

There's pretty much zero horror in it. The overwhelming emotions in that game are melancholy and nostalgia....
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 16, 2009, 12:27:01 AM: RE:UC and RE:DSC are more "Survival Horror" than RE4. If RE4 is Survival Horror, then so is Gears of War. The only times RE4 feels like Survival Horror are ironically, the worst parts of the game - the Ashley rescue missions.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on October 16, 2009, 02:29:13 PM: RE4 was an awesome game, but it is years old and even when it was new on the Wii it was still an old game because it was on the GC and PS2.

So its good, but it might as well have been on the Virtual Console for how original it was to the Wii...

I've played and beat RE4. Where are the other good wii games at? It is very sad and disappointing that the best games are old ports...

I'm enjoying Cursed Mountain, but it's a B grade title. Silent Hill is coming out this year and Red Steel 2 in 2010.

http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2009/08/20/ps3_losses/

Nintendo is atleast making money on every system sold & MS has half of the software sales chart.
So all Sony has done by barely outselling the Wii in the US, is losing over $50million this past month.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 20, 2009, 12:52:40 AM: Nintendo didn't cut the Wii's price until September 27th, so any effect the price drop had in sales is pretty much non-existent in September's overall sales. If anything, it hurt sales earlier in the month.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on October 20, 2009, 02:10:17 AM: Sony's 13 month 3rd place streak is broken making the current record for 1st place entries

Wii - 30
360 - 2
PS3 - 1

Tune in next month to see if PS3 can tie 360 for 2nd place in most 1st place entries in NPD for the generation.

Wow, definitely disappointing sales for Extraction. I thought it'd do better than that. I get the feeling a rather dramatic price cut is coming if the October sales don't pick up drastically.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on October 20, 2009, 04:48:09 AM: Well, the holiday shopping season is just about to ramp up so maybe they will hold out on a price cut until after the holidays end. I don't think any company should count out any game released from this month on until mid to late January. Sales could easily boost once people start swarming the stores without the need of a price drop. Plus, I wonder if a number of people picked it up this last week with both Toys R Us and Amazon having 'buy-2-get-one-free' deals going on. Remember titles like de Blob and Wario Land Shake came out with lackluster initial sales and they turned out to be solid sales hits once the dust settled from holiday buying.

Nor have I, but I have seen web-ads for it (rather obnoxious ones, actually) on just about every gaming site I go to, so that's something at least. And yeah, it did come out on the 29th of September. The reviews just came out for it a few days prior to that.

It has the Halloween boost to work off, but I think with strong competition from games on the other platforms I think Muramasa's 35,000 is as high as we'll see from Extraction by the end of the month. I can't be the only person putting off buying it simply because I have better stuff to buy right now.

Actually, I'm doing the same thing you are in putting it off. Plus my bank card number getting stolen and used forced me to not use my account during the 3-for-2 sales going on last week which was the best chance for me to get it this year. Plus I'm more interested in Darkside Chronicles if I had to choose one over the other.

It's pretty impressive that the number-1 selling game of the decade is on a single system.

More reason to come out with WiiPlay2 and bundle it with a new color remotes. Like Blue, Black, Red, Pink, Green.
Everyone wants different color remotes, and no one has a copy of WiiPlay2 so it's a win win. Especially if Nintendo makes that the only way to get different color remotes.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 21, 2009, 06:25:22 PM: I don't think Wii Play being on there is impressive at all, as it's essentially a throw away game that comes with a controller. Not to say it's not fun - it is, but it's certainly worth $50 on its own. The only 2 games that should really count are Halo 2 and Wii Fit.

Nintendogs would be at #6 on the list easily.

That's actually a very good point, that doesn't make sense.

So I've heard that Dead Space: Extraction sold 9,000 copies in its first week. Are we surprised? Do forumers represent 1% of its sales?

EEDAR analyst Jesse Divnich told Edge the root of the problem was with EA's lack of marketing.

"Electronic Arts didn't market Dead Space Extraction as much as it does with other titles. And the success or failure of a Wii title usually correlates directly to marketing spend. If Electronic Arts spent little on marketing, I am sure the sell through was no surprise to them. So I do not believe sell through was a disappointment to EA."

Post by: hylianhero5249 on October 26, 2009, 05:07:49 PM: I'm surprised that Fallout 3: GotYE sold more on the PS3 than the 360. But I guess since the 360 had the DLC a lot longer is the reason why.

Nintendo didn't cut the Wii's price until September 27th, so any effect the price drop had in sales is pretty much non-existent in September's overall sales. If anything, it hurt sales earlier in the month.

Agreed. Many people knew the price cut was coming and held off until it came, so not only is Sony's sales better than normal because of their price cut, Nintendo's is also worse than normal... So really, October will be the test.

DQ9 break 4Million in only 16 weeks. A feat that took NSMB 34 weeks to accomplish.

How many copies has NSMB sold to date? 6 million in Japan? Do we think DQ9 will even be able to sell another million copies? How long did it take DQ8 to sell 4 million in Japan?

This is a few weeks old, but I don't think DQ8 ever sold 4 million in Japan

As for NSMB, DQ is insanely popular in Japan. It also came out when the DS userbase was millions larger than when NSMB came out.

Quote
PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares of 53.6 / 46.4 bring total shares to 30.0 / 70.0. At this week's rates, PS3 would catch up to Wii in 1,212.6 weeks (January 21, 2033). If Wii stopped selling and PS3 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 164.2 weeks (December 18, 2012).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Deguello on October 31, 2009, 08:48:36 PM: Nintendo needs to be worried generally about the Wii's performance, but it's pretty much locked in stone that Nintendo's won Japan for this generation. If only some of Japan's third parties would realize this instead of willfully ignoring it and talking about how much Japan's video game market is doomed because "in Japan only 4 million or so consoles sold this cycle." Which is said with a straight face.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 31, 2009, 10:31:36 PM: I understand that it would take over 25 years for Sony to catch up at this point, but the bottom line is week-on-week, Sony is beating Nintendo, and that makes Nintendo look really bad, or at least not nearly as good as they usually do, when compared to Sony. BTW, Sony won by 6k this week, and if that trend continues, they'll come pretty close to at least tieing Nintendo for this year's sales.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on October 31, 2009, 10:36:56 PM: True, but the truth is that sales for both consoles kinda suck.
One just barely sucks less than the other.

Yes, but if Sony outsells the Wii by even 1 unit they can use that as a moral victory of sorts, and Nintendo shouldn't allow them to have that.

Plus, the PS3 has come quite a ways from when it first launched and was getting its ass kicked by the GBA. Now its catching up to and selling on par with the Wii. Sure, it would take them ages to catch up at this rate, but the problem is that rate seems to be increasing. Today the PS3 is outselling the Wii by only a couple K a week. But in a few months it might be 20k and then in a year it could be 200k. This is a serious danger, and price cuts aren't going to help. Nintendo needs games and parlor crap isn't going to cut it anymore. Why hasn't RE5 and Streetfighter appeared on the Wii? Where the hell is GTA and the new Godfather? These games absolutely should and must be on the Wii! The Wii is in 1st place at the moment, but judging from its game library you couldn't tell.

The Wii got this far mostly because of its innovative control capabilities, but the amazement of that is now starting to wear off, and what's even worse is now Microsoft and Sony have ripped off the idea and will soon have that on their own consoles. If you combine that with a PS3 only $100 more then this could mean disaster.

So again to summarize, maybe the Wii isn't being outsold by very much at the moment, but what's going to happen when Sony releases their ripoff motion controller? What then? I see disaster looming ahead for Nintendo unless something is done immediately to get 3rd party support.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on November 01, 2009, 04:16:38 AM: Nintendo doesn't really care about the competition (especially their "moral victories" which only fanboys even hear about), the core market implosion will take care of those. What they care more about is their own suboptimal performance. They went too long without killer apps. NSMBWii should give them a boost but they need to keep it up, not waste it with another year of inactivity.

I am.

PS3 outsold Wii by 10,000 units. That's not going to change anything in any meaningful way.

PSP Go just launched and it didn't even manage to outsell the regular PSP. What's interesting is that regular PSP numbers were almost unchanged by launch of the PSP Go (40K units two weeks ago, 38K units last week). I guess this means that they're selling the Go to a different audience.

Also, I'm horribly disappointed in Sin & Punishment 2 sales. :(

Post by: SalesBot on November 11, 2009, 11:48:14 PM: Modern Warfare 2 sells 1.23m in UK on first day; doubles previous record. (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/36482/Modern-Warfare-2-smashes-day-one-sales-record)
Quote
According to official GfK-ChartTrack numbers obtained by MCV, the title sold 1,230,588 copies in 24 hours – smashing the previous record set by Rockstar's 2007 release.

The number represents close to one in 24 UK homes.

The news puts MW2 easily on course to hit the 1.7 million sales forecast by MCV last month – and means it's already matched HMV's slightly more conservative estimate.

Previous Record? GTAIV (609,000 units)

But it looks like alot of the sales were from the supermarkets in the UK where they were selling the game at anywhere from 30-45% off MSRP. Something about "Supermarket Wars" competing in prices, kinda like Walmart vs Amazon.com

5 weeks at Japan (one extended NPD month) is 100 thousand. The Wii is also high on the price drop in the US. Unfortunately they don't cancel out. Western developers basically ignore Japans #'s but Japanese developers largely focus on what is going on in Japan.

Nice to see Uncharted 2 at the top of the charts where it belongs (being an awesome game). I'm disappointed that Borderlands is so high on the list, though. Is that 169,000 for Kingdom Hearts x/y days good or bad? Somehow, it seems a lot less than I'd expect from that franchise on DS.

Except that released last month, right? Most of the major sales already occurred for that game.

According to GameFAQs, it released right at the end of September so these numbers should be the first month's sales for the game.

It may have been on the NPDs last month, but it still would only have been out for a couple days by that point. Guess it just had a big launch and then kind of faded?

EDIT: I get a feeling A Boy & His Blob will do a lot better than Extraction, Mop. It has a good aesthetic for potential Wii owners, decent internet marketing, and a decent cover. These are all things Extraction does not have.

Post by: TofuFury on November 13, 2009, 04:01:55 AM: If it was in the top 20 last month, and top 10 this month, then my guess is it's doing pretty well. I think that's good news. We'll just need to keep an eye out for it next month.

Overall, I think it was a good month for Nintendo. I'm hoping A Boy and His Blob does okay.

The numbers for the game are atrocious period, it is just that the Wii's numbers are worse.

Wii Fit Plus is at 99.99 which is a mental barrier. To most people, as illogical as it sounds see $119.90 as much more.

It is more; 20% more to be precise. That isn't an insignificant amount of money.

But you do have a point... that's why everything is 1 cent less the dollar amount it rounds up to. People are stupid...

Yes, and in the USA more people need to be fit too.

I guess what we need is a breakdancing game that could use the balance board or something. That way you have a music game and a fitness game at the same time.

DDR and the other dance-rhythm games are probably the closest you can get to break dancing.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Caterkiller on November 19, 2009, 12:23:13 PM: I'm actually surprised about FF:CC, I know it's not a real FF but it's made by Square and it does look very fun. Really really surprised. Maybe it will just keep on chugging along. But I seriously doubt it.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on November 19, 2009, 03:23:31 PM: The only big sellers Square has had this generation has been..... Mainline FF & DQ remakes on DS and oddly enough Batman Arkham Asylum.

I am too. Maybe it wasn't advertised enough. It just seems like too little sold to be an FF game.

Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on November 20, 2009, 01:38:17 PM: Low shipment numbers, plus a lot of awful web videos that were exclusive to the game's main site. Square apparently skipped on a decent TV campaign and didn't cater to the press with high quality media assets. In other words, they didn't do much to make Famitsu care.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on November 20, 2009, 07:30:44 PM: There were tons of videos available online (GameTrailers/iTunes has dozens), and they were pretty good. All of those videos (especially the funny 15 second ones) make me want the game. The sales weren't bad, especially as Wii games tend to be long sellers.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on November 20, 2009, 08:03:02 PM: Oh boy, GT re-encoding the videos they copied from Square's site doesn't mean they get more screen time in front of the eyes of Japanese Wii gamers. Then again I don't think these Wii customers follow gaming press like forumers like you.

Only very few Wii games tend to be long sellers (i wonder what publisher...). So you're right, the majority of Wii games tend to sell next to NOTHING for a long time, reaching great levels of insignificance. This is the 3rd party way.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on November 21, 2009, 01:05:50 AM: Well, DQ has always been more popular than FF in Japan. I am curious to see how the game performs on this side of the Pacific.

Post by: mac<censored> on November 21, 2009, 09:38:30 AM: I was in a video game store tonight (picked up 光の４戦士, man I'm such a tool...), and they had a big FF:CC display. I observed two different couples where the girl was saying "hey hey let's get this [FF:CC]", and the guy was going "nerfghsdf.. PS3..asdfjlkj" (...girl keeps dragging guy back, guy keeps resisting...).

[That actually happens pretty often in my experience... it's always the girl going for the wii game, with the guy looking stressed and trying to escape...]

LOL, that guy should be kicked in the balls. Why be all stressed about a game that your GF wants to play? My GF would probably either slug me or something else if I was a butt about something like that.

Actually I think the problems started with my Father at age two when he decided to play 'toss the baby' and didn't realize we were right under a ceiling fan and tossed me way too high. My friends say that hit on my head explains a lot about me... ;)

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: ShyGuy on November 23, 2009, 01:24:57 AM: Interesting tidbit, Sega states that as of October. the Conduit has sold 270k units in the US and Europe.
http://www.segasammy.co.jp/english/pdf/release/tanshin_hosoku_final_20091030_e.pdf

It will probably top out at around 300k, which is too bad, I was hoping for at least 500k lifetime.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on November 23, 2009, 02:56:38 AM: It didn't exactly have positive word of mouth.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on November 23, 2009, 03:27:30 AM: Haven't Sega and HVS stated that they were pleased with Conduit sales?

Though, honestly, Modern Warfare on Wii is 10x better in my opinion.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on November 23, 2009, 08:11:34 AM: 300k is definitely better than the 30k or so that Marvellous' games like Little King's Story are apparently getting... at least The Conduit is profitable and Sega is pleased with the sales. Some other games are doing much, much worse.

Post by: SalesBot on November 30, 2009, 07:00:01 PM: NINTENDO SELLS MORE THAN 1.5 MILLION HARDWARE UNITS DURING CRITICAL THANKSGIVING WEEK

More than 2.5 Video Game Systems Sold Every Second during Week as Value-Minded Holiday Shoppers Look to Nintendo

REDMOND, Wash., Nov. 30, 2009 – Nintendo's internal tracking numbers show that the company sold more than 1.5 million Wii™, Nintendo DS™ and Nintendo DSi™ video game systems combined in the United States during Thanksgiving Week. That works out to more than 150 Nintendo systems sold every minute continuously for the week – or more than 2.5 every second.

Nintendo estimates that during the week:

* more than 550,000 Wii home consoles sold, demonstrating that consumers nationwide have responded to the new suggested retail price of $199.99.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on November 30, 2009, 09:18:39 PM: Hmm, I think Nintendo may be being a bit conservative. I read that they actually pushed 800,000+ systems for the week, though it may have actually been for the whole month of November.

I rather like them splitting sales evenly, it seems the healthiest state of affairs in the end. Much as I like Nintendo, I think it's better if there's a healthy competion (and the xbox, being from MS, is inherently unhealthy).

Title: Wii hits 6 million in UK
Post by: SalesBot on December 03, 2009, 02:28:23 PM: Chart Track - Wii Fastest Selling Home Console In UK History (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/36739/Wii-hits-six-million-in-the-UK)
Quote
Nintendo’s Wii has become the fastest-selling home console in the history of the UK, surpassing six million sales after just three years on the market.

According to GfK-ChartTrack upweighted data, the console hit the milestone in week 48 this year – exactly two years and 51 weeks after it went on sale.

The console was given a boost by the launch of the Black Wii in mid-November.

PS2 is still the BEST SELLING Home Console in the UK with 10 Million Sold.

Post by: Caterkiller on December 03, 2009, 02:31:17 PM: I seriously think Wii can pass up the PS2 in the UK. Anyone know the second best selling console in the UK?

Oh and where is nintendo in sales now?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on December 03, 2009, 05:43:40 PM: You mean worldwide? 56.14 million as of September 30, which makes it the fourth best selling console all-time (behind the PlayStation 2 at 138 million, the PlayStation at 102.49 million, and the NES at 61.91 million). It's a safe bet that the Wii will move past the NES when Nintendo releases their next financial report (which will cover October-December)

So when the heck does Japan get Mario? I assumed these numbers came in from NSMBW. Japan loves their 2D Mario and 4 player party games, I know it's going to keep selling like crazy.
I expect the game to sell the best in Japan so it might post some crazy numbers.

There was a rumor going around that Logitech was gonna make a UMD drive attachment for the PSPgo. I wonder how much money that would be worth on eBay years from now.

I wouldn't be so sure, Japan was one of the weakest markets for Super Mario Galaxy.

I know the PSP Go is bombing everywhere (based on the sales we know, although Sony and their typical BS-spin machine is trying to say that sales are what they expected), but CheapyD from CAG had a good point in the CAGcast. He said Japan is not very big on digital sales and that Japanese gamers generally prefer to have physical copies of games. I have to agree with them. How could anyone think the PSP Go would be anything but mediocre in sales at best? It's $70 more expensive than the regular PSP, has a smaller screen, and is a big FU to existing PSP owners since they have no way to play their current games (unless they want to go through the whole process of ripping the game and transferring it to a Memory Stick Pro Duo). There is no reason for existing PSP owners to buy a PSP Go, and no reason for new PSP owners either (as it would be cheaper for them to buy a current PSP and the much cheaper UMD versions of games).

First Day Sales

NSMBW - 420k

In case anyone wants to know, the DS game did 480k it's first day. So right now the Wii version is off to a similar start.

Should be interesting to see the kind of legs the Wii game ends up having.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: smallsharkbigbite on December 04, 2009, 10:06:52 PM: The stupid thing about the PSPgo is it could have been successful. They could have made it a relaunched PSP and launched it at $169 to go head to head with the DSi. It wouldn't have beat the DSi but it wouldn't have been the joke it is now. They could have increased it's power and made it a true PSP2 which would have given people reason to buy it as opposed to the 3000. Or they could have gave it a touch screen to go head to head with the ipod touch and more app friendly. Any one of them would have at least prevented the insta-death that this was. I own 2 DSs and was looking to get a PSP. I heard there was a hardware revision so I was waiting, and then I heard the price and immediately bought a 3000 bundle. No point for the go unless it kills you to have the 3000 and it's what 10% bigger size.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on December 04, 2009, 10:15:41 PM: atleast a touchscreen would have made for a PSP1.5 and they could have exclusive go apps and downloadable games that would use the extra functionality.

PSPgo as is, is a pointless revision, as you can do more with the previous version for less money. But I honestly think Sony expected it to fail and was instead using it to test something else.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on December 04, 2009, 10:29:08 PM: Sony should add UMD support to the PS3 as well as every computer and optical drive device they make. That way buying UMD movies and other UMD stuff might make some sense.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on December 04, 2009, 10:44:33 PM: If Sony had allowed PSP owners to trade-in their UMD games for credits to download the digital versions on the PSP Go, MAYBE I could see it doing a little better than it has. As others have said, the PSP Go offers less features than previous models but costs a lot more.

Anyways, it's predicted that NSMW will break 500K for the week (based on first day sales), only 4 or 5 Wii games have done that in Japan.

Well the only thing about Mario Galaxy is that it is a 3D Mario. One thing i've noticed is that the 2D iterations of Zelda and Mario tend to sell better then their 3D brothers in Japan. And the fact that this is 4 players? It's going to sell like nuts, and keep on selling I bet.

The Japan numbers are just a small chunk of the 5 million sales pie. North America and Europe are what make up the bulk of Galaxy's sales.

I wonder how much Galaxy 2 will sell. This will be interesting.

I think it was last reported at 940k sold (2 weeks ago) with 1.1million shipped.

It will sell them all eventually, even if they are sold at a big discount.

Super Mario 64 was over 11 million and Super Mario Sunshine was around 5.5 million. Super Mario 64's number is only the N64 version and doesn't include re-releases or the DS version.

Galaxy's sales are satisfactory. Pretty much hitting the ceiling for non-casual titles. Nothing like a real winner like Mario Kart.

Mario Kart Wii is simply the best selling racing game of all time.

It's stuck, and it shows the non-casual market is shrinking and insignificant compared to the real game market.

Well, it could certainly also be in part due to flaws in the game. While I think MG is lots of fun, it's hardly perfect -- the individual levels are often wonderful, but eventually start to seem a bit samey (you replay the same environments multiple times after all), and the hub is boring; I often found myself feeling not very compelled to seek out the next level ...

Also, a mechanism to help people get past hard points is pure genius. I like having to build my skills and get past a sticky part, to some degree, but there's a point at which I just get tired of it, and if I can't progress further because of that, I'll often just stop playing the game altogether when stuck like that. That's a shame when the game it generally fun, and it would be nice if games had a way of dealing more explicitly with such issues -- great game design is extremely important, but it's very hard to make something which fits all players...
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on December 09, 2009, 07:38:34 PM: 3D Marios are guilty of having less gameplay, less platforming per every step Mario takes. When the 360-degree space around you is open to walk on, that equates to a lot of EMPTY space. There's a lot of space to deviate and go far and at the same time go nowhere near the objective, and inseparable from this is the fact that the scenery is just repeated when you retread it to approach the objective or when you revisit the stage for a new objective.

2D Marios are mostly forward+back, and a lot of new platforms/platforming is visibly crammed onto the screen. General folks are quicker to wrap their heads around the 2D presentation, and the local platforming objectives are more immediately recognizable. Japan is largely inept at 3D.

2D is teh casual.

Yes, but it's close. Mario Kart DS (which is still selling well) is at 16.09 million. The next Mario Kart game though is Super Mario Kart at 8 million. Mario kart Wii is the best selling racing game of all-time.

Isn't Mario Kart Wii the best-selling Mario game that isn't a pack-in? I think the only games that have higher sales numbers are Super Mario Brothers and Super Mario World, both of which were packaged in system bundles.

Possibly. Super Mario World was bundled at first but later sold separately.

As for Super Mario Sunshine, it only did about 5.85 million worldwide. So it's possible that it sold less than 1 million in Japan/

Nintendo handheld sails past 10 million mark – robbing PS2 of 'biggest ever console' title

Nintendo DS has become the biggest-selling games hardware in UK chart history, surpassing 10 million units sold, MCV can reveal.

The device hit the milestone in week 47 of this year according to GfK-ChartTrack data, taking it past the record held by Sony’s PS2.

UK unit sales of PS2 stand at 10.02 million to date, whilst DS has already hit 10.05 million – with a bountiful Christmas period yet to finish.

DS has been on the UK market for just four years, eight months, having launched in March 2005. PlayStation 2 launched nine years ago in November 2000.

Nintendo DS has sold at a rate of over 5,700 consoles per day in the UK, where almost one in six people own one of the handhelds.

MCV revealed last week that Nintendo Wii had hit six million UK unit sales – becoming the fastest-selling home console in UK history.

Monster numbers for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, but in the long-run it will be outsold by New Super Mario Bros. Wii (which got great numbers).

No surprise for Mario Kart Wii, the DS one did the same thing (it managed to even be one of the top 10 selling games of 2008, despite being released in 2005).

Since NSMBW is already off to a better start, it'll be interesting to see the legs that this will have.

Why do I get the feeling that this will be the main focus of "analysts"? Instead of seeing the 1.2 million systems sold, or that it outsold all 3 of Sony's systems COMBINED, the analysts will just bitch and moan about Wii not selling as well as last year (when Wii broke the record for most consoles sold in November history).

Black, you are correct. The Nintendo 64 sold 32.93 million systems worldwide.

I don't think there is any doubt now that the DS will overtake the PS2 sometime in 2010 in worldwide sales. The PS2 was at 138 million in mid-August, the DS was up to 113.48 million on September 30.

And that is the really amazing thing here. Not only did one piece of Nintendo hardware outsell all Sony hardware combined, but both Nintendo hardware did. So no matter how you slice it, Nintendo has Chuck Norrised Sony's dominance. And also, the 360 is selling more than any single Sony system.

I wonder how that blond guy on the Sony commercials is going to spin this.

A new CoD title comes out every year. But Modern Warfare 1 was hailed as one of the greatest FPS games of all time. Last year's game, World at War did great but not MW1 great. So the anticipation for MW2 was huge. It turns out it's pretty much the same game as MW1 from what I hear. It's a great game but more of hte same. Not much innovation. I think they decided that if it isn't broke, then don't fix it. It'll probably get around 14-16 million WW sales and NSMBW will surpass 20 million at some point in the next 3 years.

Post by: Guitar Smasher on December 11, 2009, 11:02:38 PM: Remember, stores were opening at midnight and newscasts were reporting on MW2's release. The game was incredibly well-hyped and the sales reflect it. However it's likely that the majority of people who are interested in this game have already purchased it, so expect its sales to drop dramatically over the next couple months.

Now as for NSMBWii, it also released to strong sales (not as strong, admittedly), but it will continue to sell for years to come. Long-term, it will outsell MW2 easily.

A similar event happened when MarioKart Wii and GTA4 came out around the same time. MarioKart is still selling in the top 10!

Core game. Those have extremely front-loaded sales, almost all of their final volume is shifted in the first month. NSMBW is a Wii audience game, those tend to have slower starts and grow in sales over time. That suits the news industry's hype of "best opening ever" which allows news stories about successes to be posted while the hype still hasn't worn off but in the end it's not terribly relevant.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on December 12, 2009, 03:30:37 AM: Front-loaded sales also fuel the practice of price drops on unsold stock in later months.

The frequency of price drops, in turn, also lead more people to hesitate on game purchases (and the extra effect of generating more used games following the launch date, which many will depend on).

What a great spiral this industry has created.

Post by: TJ Spyke on December 12, 2009, 02:34:51 PM: There is a article on Industry Gamers where they actually think that the prices of PSP download games is what's causing the PSP Go to tank everywhere in the world. While PSP digital games are vastly over-priced (for example, "Beaterator" is little more than a music tool. It's not even a game, but it costs $40), they are not at all the problem. The PSP Go is $70 more than the next most expensive PSP model, but is vastly inferior. No one can deny that the PSP Go has been a flop.

I think he is referring to the pile of bargain bin games at local stores.

I expect the sales will balloon around new years. It will be like NSMBDS: long term sales will beat everything.

Unfortunately the bet ends when NPD January is posted.
NSMBW has to outsell MW2[360] by the time NPD January is out.

NSMBW needs to sell 2 million this month and 2 million more next month, and that is assuming a MW2 takes a HUGE drop this month and dries up next month.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on December 17, 2009, 02:58:47 PM: But surely Reggie wouldn't have made a bet without being aware of the supply situation. If there are shortages then this must be going at least as good as Reggie predicted, if not even better. It really couldn't be selling any faster because there isn't enough supply to keep up with the demand...

Its kinda like the Wii shortage all over again. I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but maybe Nintendo has been creating and milking these shortages somehow?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Arbok on December 17, 2009, 09:43:09 PM: If I'm not mistaken, Reggie was kind of strong armed into the bet by the interviewer. His choice was either go with the bet, or lose face and say that it wouldn't outsell it.

The conditions of the bet, and choice that it would be the 360 version, were done by the interviewer. Reggie takes fault for agreeing, but given the circumstance I don't think it's too absurd to assume things like shortages and what not could effect what was a casual agreement on his part. He didn't come to the table with these things thought out long term or a more calculated approach to feasibility.

But yeah, he will be proven wrong in the end for sure.

Reggie takes fault for agreeing, but given the circumstance I don't think it's too absurd to assume things like shortages and what not could effect what was a casual agreement on his part. He didn't come to the table with these things thought out long term or a more calculated approach to feasibility.

But yeah, he will be proven wrong in the end for sure.

Huh, yeah, put it like that, I can see why he went ahead and accepted it. Though the January end date is horrendously soon. Those are conditions that undercut a real strength of Nintendo games: longevity.

GT pushed for a comment on the 360 version Reggie agreed

Reggie wasn't trying to commit to a particular platform but Geoff pushed him to make the bet against the 360 version.

But these are 3rd parties we are talking about. Remember? They dump half baked games on us with little to no advertising and then say there is no market for games. It shouldn't have a bearing on the decision but you know it very well might.

I heard only the first 6 hours of the game was like this, and then it opened up.

Looking at WoW I think they see the kind of money this could make, and a steady stream at that, so they are willing to try and try again to see if they can crack the nut.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Deguello on December 22, 2009, 11:36:10 AM: Competition in the MMORPG market is very unforgiving. Also, the games tend to be black holes that suck away interest from other titles. WoW players might be willing to try out a new game, but they'll typically gravitate back to WoW.

The worst part about MMORPGs is that the company who makes it has to keep spending time and money making new content, and when you have an unpopular one (like FFXI) That can turn what appears to be constant revenue into constant loss.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on December 22, 2009, 11:49:05 AM: Final Fantasy XI may not be a huge hit, but it's done well enough to make Square Enix a profit. People seem to think that any MMO that doesn't do as well as World of Warcraft is a bomb. A game that has 100K subscribers at $14.95 each is making almost $1.5 million a month from that game, more than enough to cover the costs of running it.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on December 22, 2009, 04:09:51 PM: As one reviewer mentioned: you play other MMOs for a short while as a vacation from WoW before returning back to the daily grind.

Except where SE stated that in order to turn a profit, they needed 500,000 dedicated subscribers worldwide. For those four years, I believe they averages over 3 million worldwide. So how is that a bomb? I believe they still have over a million players subscribing continuously.

Wii sells 2 million in Canada according to NPD (http://www.gamefocus.ca/?nav=new&nid=7798)

NPD reports that Nintendo has now sold over two million units of Nintendo’s Wii system in Canada. Wii is the first system of the current generation to reach this sales volume and now joins the Nintendo DS portable handheld system above the two million units sold mark (both stats are reflective of Canadian NPD data).

I dunno where you got that information, because apparently S-E only claimed around 2 million as of April this year. And they also only claim 500,000 current subscribers. (I looked on Wikipedia.)

And the game's on like 4 platforms so it's not really impressive. There's also the sunk cost of having to hire people just to run servers and have developers make upgrades and the missed opportunity costs of having those people work on new product.

I don't think it's all that profitable, to be honest. Definitely not more than anything else they've done.

Sweet! Animal Crossing is over a million in Japan!
And yet I still haven't been able to find anyone from Japan so I can get the Japan-exclusive items. Is the language barrier too much to handle?

Couldn't you ask one of the NWR Japanese correspondents? Greg also has a Japanese Wii so you could try him (though you might have to find a way to get him a copy of the Japanese version of the game).
I don't think that simply having a Japanese Wii is enough, as the person would also need access to the Japanese online service. Unless somebody wants to step in here and confirm that to be untrue, it is what I think.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on December 29, 2009, 11:56:04 PM: I figured that hooking up a Japanese Wii with a Japanese copy of ACCF anywhere would work. I doubt the game was made to detect where in the world you are.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on December 30, 2009, 12:07:37 AM: I don't think it is the game which detects where you are, it is Nintendo's servers. So it wouldn't matter what kind of Wii you have or which version of the game you have, if you are in North America then you connect to North American servers and get North American items.

That was my understanding, but I'll have a look around elsewhere.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on December 30, 2009, 12:37:20 PM: No, it's based on which version of the game you have. If you have the Japanese copy, you will get the Japanese items (at least that is how it works for people in Japan playing with a North American copy of the game). This is also how it works for other games, it will connect online to the region of the version you have.

Where are you getting your information? Joystiq is using two separate trackers and both state that MW2 for 360 has been on the top of the box office in the UK for 7 straight weeks.

Yep, Chart Track has 2 separate tracking formats for overall sales. One is for individual versions, the other is combining every version of a game (which is useless since that also includes DS/PSP/PC versions along with every console version_.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 01, 2010, 01:41:09 PM: you gotta remember that SML was on a handheld, which is owned by individuals who would all buy their own copies.

SMB3 is on a console, which is usually 1 per household and several people share all the same games.

For SMB3 to be that close to SML, I think it did pretty damn good. Too bad NSMBW is gonna beat them both ;)
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on January 01, 2010, 02:54:19 PM: Of course there's no reason for a household to have more than one copy of a specific game (unless it has only one save and even then it's questionable), two at most.

Super Mario Land was one of the first Game Boy games so it didn't really have much competition, whereas Super Mario Brothers 3 released at a time when hundreds of other NES games were available and the Super NES wasn't too far off either.

Super Mario Brothers sold the best because it came first.

Mop it up makes a excellent point. At the time Mario Land was released it was pretty much the only game in town beyond Tetris on the system in terms of an "A+" quality game that would turn heads.

...In America. SMB3 came over to the Americas in 1990. It's Japanese release was in 1988. But the games comment still applies.

Not to mention all the different pack-ins it received.

It was a good launch game, but I don't consider it A+ quality. SML2 IS A+ quality for a Mario handheld game (in terms of Game Boy Mario titles).

Must be sarcasm considering FFXIII went from 1.5 million 1st week to 188k 2nd week.
Whats that? an almost 87% drop in sales from week to week.

There better be a HUGE advertising campaign in US/EUR if they are gonna make the quota that was necessary, but that would mean they need to sink even more money into the game just to advertise it.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Peachylala on January 04, 2010, 09:09:23 PM: Money sinking at it's finest.

I highly doubt Crystal Bearers made a big dent in terms of budget, even though it's (IMHO) one of the best looking and well-thought out Wii games.

Besides, all that hate is better spent on FFVII.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 05, 2010, 01:06:36 AM: Why FFVII?

I didn't really hear that, but it would be pretty cool though.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on January 05, 2010, 04:01:13 AM: Honestly, considering how successful the FF and Dragon Quest remakes along with DQ9 are doing on DS I wouldn't be surprised if we see it on either DS or Wii. I'll bet if DQX does really well on Wii FF7 will join it (assuming DQX comes out soon enough to affect the decision).

I wasn't really intending to diss XIII; I was just commenting on what somebody said recently: that the dev costs were so high that it has to do significantly better than previous releases to make a profit (so merely performing "in line" isn't enough).

However now that you mention it, I will say that the XIII demos in stores make it look like it has all the worst attributes of recent FF games -- annoying cardboard characters, a slightly embarrassing infatuation with trendy teen styles, painful, cringe-inducing melodrama, creaky-ass battles, an emphasis on endless [cringe-inducing] cut-scenes...

Maybe it's actually a great game, but the demos provide zero indication of that.

You do have a point though -- the era of horrible FF games started with VII, and it didn't even have good graphics!

Hate to break it too you but according to people who've played the recent Japanese release, the final game is like that as well. According to a number of impressions, the game is literally a straight line where you go from one cut scene to the other. There's no exploration, the storyline is pretty bad and the world is dull and lifeless.

From everything I've read, FFXIII is pretty much FFX with better graphics, a worse storyline and 10 times more linear.

Nintendo Announces Healthy Holiday Sales Figures – estimated 3 million Wiis sold in December and more
January 5th, 2010 Posted in DS, News, Wii, Written by Valay

Nintendo Announces Healthy Holiday Sales Figures

As everyone looks ahead to the possibilities in store for 2010, Nintendo of America is looking to extend the glow of the holidays with some fresh December sales information. The following items were announced by Nintendo President Satoru Iwata in Japan:

* Although official U.S. sales data for December and all of 2009 will be announced by the NPD Group on Jan. 14, it appears that U.S. consumers responded enthusiastically to Nintendo’s Wii™ home console in December. Nintendo estimates that December sales in the United States will exceed 3 million units.
* Nintendo estimates that the portable Nintendo DS™ lineup, including the Nintendo DSi™ video game system, set a new all-time calendar-year U.S. sales record for any console or hand-held system.
* Nintendo software also continued to perform well. Although the NPD Group will provide the full sales numbers for each game, Nintendo estimates that lifetime U.S. sales of New Super Mario Bros.™ Wii are approaching 4 million. The game, which is the first Super Mario Bros. game to include simultaneous four-player action, launched in the United States on Nov. 15.

“The millions of people who bought Nintendo hardware during the holidays can look forward to enjoying great games on those systems now and in the future,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks for Nintendo DS, and Wii Fit Plus and New Super Mario Bros. Wii are all currently providing Nintendo fans with amazing experiences and fun adventures for the whole family.”

Alternate Source: Nintendo has record breaking December (http://technology.canoe.ca/2010/01/05/12352021-reuters.html)
Quote
KYOTO, Japan, Jan 5 (Reuters) - Japan’s Nintendo Co Ltd said salesof its Wii video game console in the United States hit a record high inDecember, countering market worries that momentum for the three-yearold machine had peaked.
Nintendo said sales of the Wii, which outsells Sony Corp’sPlayStation 3 and Microsoft Corp’s Xbox 360, had recovered from aslowdown earlier last year thanks to a series of strong new game titlessuch as “New Super Mario Bros. Wii” action game, and a hardware pricecut.
Nintendo cut the Wii price by 20 percent in the second half of last year.
“It’s a combination of factors. Towards December, our softwarelineup got stronger. Also, the price cut certainly helped, although itis not the sole factor,” Nintendo President Satoru Iwata told Reutersin an interview on Tuesday.
Nintendo sold more than 3 million units of the Wii in the UnitedStates in December 2009, up sharply from 2.14 million units a yearearlier.
On the handheld side, Nintendo’s DS sales in the United Stateslikely exceeded 10 million units in 2009, topping the previous recordof 9.96 million posted in 2008, Iwata said.
Before Iwata’s comments, shares in Nintendo closed up 1.4 percent at22,930 yen, outperforming the Nikkei average, which rose 0.3 percent.

Portable becomes continent’s best-ever selling machine; Wii hits 20m sales in record time

Nintendo has ushered in the new decade by clinching two hardware sales records – the best ever selling machine in Europe and the fastest console to 20m sales.

The first record is claimed by the DS, which via its various guises (the DS, DS Lite and DSi) has now sold a total of 40m units in Europe – making it the best selling games console the region has ever seen.

In addition, the Wii’s race to 20m unit sales in just over three years makes it the fastest selling console to reach the milestone in the territory.

The platform holder has also released some other snippets of sales data. Recent release Wii Sports Resort, which is one of the first pieces of software to make use of the Motion Plus accessory, has now sold 5m copies in Europe since its arrival in July.

The Wii Fit series has now sold 9.6m units, meaning that nearly half of all owners of Nintendo’s console own either the first or second release in the franchise.

Finally, New Super Mario Bros Wii has passed 2.5m sales since its release in November.

Hate to break it too you but according to people who've played the recent Japanese release, the final game is like that as well. According to a number of impressions, the game is literally a straight line where you go from one cut scene to the other. There's no exploration, the storyline is pretty bad and the world is dull and lifeless.

I've heard it opens up considerably after the 6 hour mark.

It took me 6 hours to beat the first 3 dungeons and get the Master Sword in Ocarina of Time for the first time when I was a young Pro so many years ago. There's a lot of STUFF in those 6 hours.

FF THURTEAN just doesn't cut it.

Nintendo Announces Healthy Holiday Sales Figures – estimated 3 million Wiis sold in December and more
January 5th, 2010 Posted in DS, News, Wii, Written by Valay

Nintendo Announces Healthy Holiday Sales Figures

As everyone looks ahead to the possibilities in store for 2010, Nintendo of America is looking to extend the glow of the holidays with some fresh December sales information. The following items were announced by Nintendo President Satoru Iwata in Japan:

* Although official U.S. sales data for December and all of 2009 will be announced by the NPD Group on Jan. 14, it appears that U.S. consumers responded enthusiastically to Nintendo’s Wii™ home console in December. Nintendo estimates that December sales in the United States will exceed 3 million units.
* Nintendo estimates that the portable Nintendo DS™ lineup, including the Nintendo DSi™ video game system, set a new all-time calendar-year U.S. sales record for any console or hand-held system.
* Nintendo software also continued to perform well. Although the NPD Group will provide the full sales numbers for each game, Nintendo estimates that lifetime U.S. sales of New Super Mario Bros.™ Wii are approaching 4 million. The game, which is the first Super Mario Bros. game to include simultaneous four-player action, launched in the United States on Nov. 15.

“The millions of people who bought Nintendo hardware during the holidays can look forward to enjoying great games on those systems now and in the future,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks for Nintendo DS, and Wii Fit Plus and New Super Mario Bros. Wii are all currently providing Nintendo fans with amazing experiences and fun adventures for the whole family.”

Meaning what? [I guess that it becomes less of a linear sequence of cut-scenes.]

What about the cardboard characters, the "dull and lifeless" world, the cringe-inducing story, etc...?

Does anyone have a pointer to a decent (non-fanboy) review?

... if not, they'll have set themselves up for a bit of a letdown. But Nintendo also generally tracks their own sales internally very well, so I'm hoping the NPD numbers reflect their estimates.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on January 06, 2010, 02:38:33 AM: I'm pretty sure the numbers are accurate. The only company you can't trust is Sony, and that's because they count the units they've SHIPPED instead of units actually sold, and from what I understand they also count broken systems that they've repaired as a sale too. So they suck...

But this is Nintendo and they don't pull that crap, so I'm sure this is the real deal.

From everything I've read, FFXIII is pretty much FFX with better graphics, a worse storyline and 10 times more linear.

What I hated the most about FFX was its "attack A goes on monster B" battle system (every monster I met had a weakness to exactly one attack that would usually instakill it).

I love the fact that Nintendo owns this company. So if M$ or Sony used it, Nintendo could technically track the sales of the PS3 & 360 as well.

What exactly is Friend Collection, besides the title making it look like it's for the friendless people?

$34? No. The main game would cost that amount, but add in the trading element, side quests, and WiFi connection. It may cost about $150. Five brand new copies sold of the store shelves would easily cover the budget.

I am looking forward to how Final Fantasy XIII does in North America and Europe.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 07, 2010, 01:07:15 PM: I've obviously never played the game, but I think Friend Collection is like
Animal Crossing meets The Sims using Miis (possibly with a little bit of Facebook thrown in).

There are some videos on Youtube, but for the life of me, I can't figure out the appeal of the game.
But I don't use Facebook, never played The Sims and I'm not really a fan of Animal Crossing.

Which is rather funny considering FFXIII is the most expensive Final Fantasy every made. I love how everyone acted like Crystal Bearers sales were a disaster and yet, in the end Square Enix will probably end up losing more money off of FFXIII even though it's a million seller, a mark that Crystal Bearers will probably never even get close to reaching.

In all fairness, the PS3 user base is nowhere near what the PS1 and PS2's were so these numbers aren't terribly surprising. Besides, those numbers will jump considerably once the game makes its worldwide debut.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on January 07, 2010, 10:08:36 PM: Actually, those numbers won't jump since this is comparing Japanese sales to Japanese sales. Also, the install base for the PS1 was about the same when Final Fantasy VII came out as the PS3 is. As of November 1996 (2 months before Final Fantasy VII released), the Sony had shipped 4.2 million PlayStation's shipped in Japan (Sony at that time only reported shipped numbers, not sold numbers, and that would be at 6.5 million by the end of March 1997). PS2 was better (it was at 5.94 million in Japan when Final Fantasy X was released). PS3 was at about 4 million sold. So PS1 and PS3 had about the same number sold when their first Final Fantasy game came out.

So basically Final Fantasy VII sold 2 million copies to an install base of about 4.2 million while Final Fantasy XIII sold 1.5 million to a install base of about 4 million. Estimate the actual install base of the PS1 (since that 4.2 is shipped, not sold) and Final Fantasy XIII did sell worse.

If Nintendo were still making and shipping GBAs I'm sure they would teach that PSPgo a lesson in humility.

Let's never forget that at launch the GBA was kicking the PS3's ass.

I realized what those numbers were referring to. I was mainly looking at total units sold. It's no secret that the Japanese market (outside Nintendo) has been floundering for years, so I figure when you throw worldwide sales into the mix and an additional platform's user base, the game will end up with generally respectable numbers (despite seeming market fatigue towards Japanese entertainment tropes).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on January 08, 2010, 03:45:47 AM: Even just looking at FF sales data in Japan alone shows something (console gaming and/or FF in general) is floundering. The PS1 games sold better than the PS2 & PS3 games.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Peachylala on January 08, 2010, 09:45:13 AM: The sales were better, but in terms of quality with gameplay/story, the PS1 games almost ruined the franchise for me. Final Fantasy VI pretty much spoiled me, because it was awesome.

Quote from: BlackNMild2k1 on January 07, 2010, 01:07:15 PM
I've obviously never played the game, but I think Friend Collection is like
Animal Crossing meets The Sims using Miis (possibly with a little bit of Facebook thrown in).

There are some videos on Youtube, but for the life of me, I can't figure out the appeal of the game.
But I don't use Facebook, never played The Sims and I'm not really a fan of Animal Crossing.
This could really catch on in North America and/or Europe.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on January 13, 2010, 12:21:15 PM: They will be proudly earned. When there is no advertising outside of banner ads and sending a video of the game to certain media sites, it's not going to sell.
They're most likely going to put FFXIII ads in movie theatres, on primetime television and in multiple print ads as well as online. It'll sell because of that. If Crystal Bearers had the same ad space, it'd sell well I think.

Is Square even serious?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on January 13, 2010, 02:54:09 PM: Hello, I think people missed a few facts--

One FFXIII is being sold at a higher price tag than FFXII so if you factor in the $10-12 difference per copy. FFXII costed 40=50 million to make. FFXIII is rumored to be 100 million (though Square hasn't stated it) to make. Two, you missed the fact this new engine is going be used in 2 other Square games so part of that developement costs should be split with that project.

And you still haven't factor in MS--yeah MS had to GIVE $$$ for FF and we all know it and I bet that price alone is High.

Hell Big N gave Square 150 million themsleves (right after Big N sold Rare) and all they got for it was FFCC series :(. Well I guess they did get some DS titles too (DQIX) but not sure if that was part of the deal because Square wasn't even mergered with Enix at that time.

Hello, I think people missed a few facts--

One FFXIII is being sold at a higher price tag than FFXII so if you factor in the $10-12 difference per copy. FFXII costed 40=50 million to make. FFXIII is rumored to be 100 million (though Square hasn't stated it) to make. Two, you missed the fact this new engine is going be used in 2 other Square games so part of that developement costs should be split with that project.

And you still haven't factor in MS--yeah MS had to GIVE $$$ for FF and we all know it and I bet that price alone is High.

Hell Big N gave Square 150 million themsleves (right after Big N sold Rare) and all they got for it was FFCC series :(. Well I guess they did get some DS titles too (DQIX) but not sure if that was part of the deal because Square wasn't even mergered with Enix at that time.

S-E stated that they need more sales than usual, I assume they accounted for all the secondary revenues already.

I think he's referring to that development studio that Nintendo opened in partnership with Square-Enix back in the GC days to produce projects for the GC, a studio that no longer exists and never really amounted to much.

Where is the GIF that GAF uses of a person reaching through the computer and slapping the other person? The only fall game from Sony that I would consider good was Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Nintendo not only had one of the best games of the year in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, there were a ton of great third party games like A Boy and His Blob, Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo, Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage, etc. Your comment about casuals is out of whack too, especially since the best selling game of the month was not what is considered a "casual" game.

mop is right, the bet is through the end of January (although I should remind people that Reggie didn't make the bet. That moron Geoff Keighly kept bugging him and bugging him to say that NSMBW would outsell CODMW2 until Reggie finally said "yes" to shut him up).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 14, 2010, 08:48:21 PM: Bet isn't over yet, but yeah... he lost.

Reggie said to give him all the way till January NPD comes out, but I really doubt NSMBW will sell about 2Million while MW2 360 will sell next to nothing.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on January 14, 2010, 09:02:20 PM: I don't think anyone other than anti-Nintendo fanboys think that MW2 will end up selling more (even when combining all 3 versions, especially is the game continues selling for years like it's DS predecessor has).

We will have to wait for Nintendo to release their quarterly sales report in a few weeks, but I think that December sales have pushed the Wii ahead of the NES and is now Nintendo's best selling console ever. As of the end of September 2009 the NES was at 61.91 million and the Wii was at 56.14 million. Nintendo sold more than 5 million Wii's just in the US in November/December. I wonder if Nintendo will tout the fact that in just 3 years the Wii has become their best selling console.

Actually, as a Nintendo fan, I've had the exact same situation turned against me many times before. Sometimes having some of the most exceptional games is just a part of the equation. I mean, look at how NSMBWii is outperforming SMG! Super Mario Galaxy was undoubtedly a landmark game, but to get the sort of phenomenal that Nintendo has achieved this generation, they've needed to do more than just appeal to the game critics, they've needed to capture the imagination of gamers from 2 to 92. Including Grandmas.

After all, hardcore gamers aren't the be-all-and-end-all of this industry. Nintendo's been saying that ever since the NES.

NINTENDO FINISHES 2009 WITH MULTIPLE SALES RECORDS

Wii Has the Best Month in Video Game History, Nintendo DS Has the Best Calendar Year of All Time

Jan. 14, 2010

A holiday shopping frenzy helped both of Nintendo's video game systems make history: Nintendo's Wii™ home system sold more than 3.8 million units in December, a new all-time single-month U.S. sales record. The Nintendo DS™ Lite and Nintendo DSi™ hand-held systems combined to sell more than 3.3 million, the second biggest month in U.S. history.

Those strong December numbers helped propel the Nintendo DS franchise to more than 11.2 million sold in 2009, a new U.S. calendar-year sales record for any video game system – ever. The Wii console finished 2009 with 9.6 million sold. Of all the Wii consoles ever sold in the United States since its November 2006 launch, nearly one-fifth (18.7 percent) were sold during November and December 2009.

"Wii, Nintendo DS Lite and Nintendo DSi combined to sell more than 7 million units in the month of December alone," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "Clearly there is overwhelming consumer demand for fun games, motion controls and value. This remarkable hardware sales surge presents a tremendous software opportunity for Nintendo and its third-party partners as we head into 2010."

Lifetime U.S. sales for Wii have now surpassed 27.2 million units. No other home console has ever sold so many so quickly. Lifetime U.S. sales for the Nintendo DS franchise have topped 38.8 million units, surpassing lifetime sales of the Game Boy™ Advance franchise.

As always, great software drives hardware sales. In December alone, consumers placed six Nintendo games in the top 10 best-sellers of the month. These include New Super Mario Bros.™ Wii at No. 1 with more than 2.8 million sold, Wii Sports Resort™ at No. 2 with more than 1.7 million sold, Wii Fit™ Plus with the Wii Balance Board™ accessory at No. 3 with more than 1.7 million sold, Wii Play™ at No. 6 with more than 1.0 million sold, Mario Kart™ Wii at No. 7 with more than 936,000 sold and Mario & Luigi™: Bowser's Inside Story for Nintendo DS Lite and Nintendo DSi at No. 10 with more than 656,000 sold.

For all of 2009, Nintendo finished with seven of the top 10 best-selling games of the year. These include New Super Mario Bros. Wii at No. 2 with more than 4.2 million sold, Wii Sports Resort at No. 3 with more than 4.2 million sold, Wii Fit™ at No. 4 with more than 3.5 million sold, Mario Kart Wii at No. 5 with nearly 3.1 million sold, Wii Play at No. 6 with more than 3.1 million sold, Wii Fit Plus™ at No. 8 with more than 2.4 million sold and Pokémon™ Platinum Version at No. 10 with more than 2.0 million sold.

All numbers contained in this document are according to the NPD Group, which tracks U.S. video game sales.

Actually, I think that at the time, Geoff Keighley challenged Reggie to commit to the XBox 360 instead of just one platform, which the Reggienator did, one of the few times in his taking names career when he would have to leave behind a letter or two.

Mario vs. Modern Warfare. Modern Warfare 2 is up to 5.83M on 360, Mario Wii is 4.21 M. Can Reggie make up the difference by end of Jan?

@abellwillring No, he said it would beat 360.

@abellwillring Yeah it was misreported a few places. Reggie said single platform, I said "360?" and he said yes.

The bet is not likely to be won, but won or lost, NSMBW is a beast and will win in the long run regardless if you combine all skus of MW2 or not.

I've always thought it was strange whenever somebody is disappointed by the sales of a product which doesn't interest them when it doesn't really affect the sales of products which do interest them.

Except that it does. When the casuals jump all over a title aimed at them (Wii Fit and Wii Play, for example), but not a title aimed at casual & core (Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3, for example), which do you think Nintendo focuses on making and which do you think 3rd parties see as titles that must be made? More casual titles, because that's what sells on Wii.

That's my issue with the Wii's hardware sales: they're sales made to consumers who don't buy games. They buy the system for a couple games, and then basically ignore the system otherwise. I have no problem with new blood in our industry and can appreciate their style of gaming, but I feel like we've been coddling a group of gamers for 3 years who don't actually want to do anything to support the evolution of the hobby by exploring that vast ocean of experiences outside their casual niche. Instead, they stay on the shore; buy one or two games a year (mostly from Nintendo); and then we're expected to reorient our expectations around them. I'm just tired of waiting for them to step across that bridge Nintendo's been trying to build since the Wii launched.

That's my issue with the Wii's hardware sales: they're sales made to consumers who don't buy games. They buy the system for a couple games, and then basically ignore the system otherwise.

But again, how is that hurting anything? What you're suggesting is that all these people buying Wiis isn't helping the hardcore library, and that might be true, but you aren't demonstrating that it is hurting it in any way. Do you remember the GC? That was a system that didn't get hardcore support, but you can't say the casual audience was to blame for that because they didn't exist then (or were very small at the time).

So let's say Nintendo had ignored the casual crowd and never made Wii Sports or Wii Resort or Wii Fit. Alright, so now they don't have the casuals they have today. But does this mean they are going to have the hardcore third party support? Looking at the example of the Gamecube, I would have to say the answer would be no.

So to summarize, yeah, maybe the casuals aren't helping things; but on the other hand there's no reason to believe their presence is hurting anything either. What we have with the Wii is basically the same ****ty 3rd party support as with the GC and N64 before it, except the Wii has managed to sell extremely well despite those hurdles. This is good for Nintendo, and it does guarantee they aren't going to be forced into 3rd party status like Sega and Atari the way so many people predicted they would just a few years ago. Now, the thought of Nintendo being reduced to a 3rd party is inconceivable. But I will say that hopefully at some point all of this cash Nintendo is making will be used to fund hardcore games....

Well, I'm certainly disappointed in these numbers. Sony put out a phenomenal Fall lineup this year, and yet they still managed to sell barely more than the 360 this month. Meanwhile, Nintendo puts in about 1/10 as much effort and has nearly triple the sales. The power of the casuals...

Was Sony's fall lineup expanding the appeal of the system or just adding to the games people who already own a PS3 will buy? E.g. Uncharted 2 will sell mostly to people who already liked Uncharted 1 and thus already own a PS3. That's one of the reasons Nintendo franchises get only 1-2 releases per console usually, only the first game can be a killer app because by the time the second comes around anyone who likes that sort of game already bought the system.

Honestly, a lot of my personal frustration does lay with NoA, but I am suspecting that some of the failures are from stubborn NCL decisions. It was NCL, I believe, that made the decision to not bring Fatal Frame over because of the refusal of Tecmo to fix up the game. But in the case of Reginleiv I do think it will be an NoA decision due to their concern over their 'family friendly' image they hold so dear.

Seriously, do you even bother to check anything before you post? You say that casuals buying Wii Fit and Wii Play over Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 are going to make Nintendo focus on making more games like Wii Fit/Play instead of Mario/Metroid. And yet in 2010, the two biggest games that's Nintendo's offically announced for the year are Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M, while they haven't announced any new Wii___ games at all.

I just love how the usual complainers always act like E3 2009 never happened. I guess the upcoming Zelda Wii that Miyamoto and Aonuma keep talking about doesn't exist either then?

Quote from: Kairon on January 15, 2010, 04:48:06 AM

It's always been this way. It took them over a decade to finally bring the Fire Emblem and Wars series to America so this is no surprise. Hell, the upcoming Glory of Hercules for the DS was originally released in Japan in May 2008. Even though RPG's have lots of text, I'm pretty sure there's not enough in this game to take over 1.5 years to translate.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: broodwars on January 15, 2010, 08:24:02 AM: Nintendo tossing us a bone or two every few years doesn't invalidate my point that the casuals ignoring core titles has made those titles much more rare on the console, and conversely the casual titles much more numerous (with a couple bridge games as well) from both Nintendo and 3rd parties. Of the 3 main games you mentioned, the only one we can be sure is coming out this year is Galaxy 2 because that game is supposedly already finished. I have heavy doubts that we'll see Zelda this year (in North America, anyway), and even Other M looks doubtful until we see more of it (hopefully at GDC and E3). And in the midst of all this, where's Pikmin 3? That game was announced at E3 2008, and as RFN has noted we've heard next to nothing about it since and it could very well no longer exist.

And incidentally, we already have "Wii Relax" on our radar, so that's one Wii______ already this year. I doubt with the Wonderful World of the Vitality Sensor ahead of us that it'll be the only casual title from Nintendo this year.

But again, how is that hurting anything? What you're suggesting is that all these people buying Wiis isn't helping the hardcore library, and that might be true, but you aren't demonstrating that it is hurting it in any way.

Where it hurts is that the whole goal of Nintendo's Blue Ocean strategy is to draw new gamers in with casual titles (Stage 1) and then shift them into traditional titles via bridge titles (Stage 2). This is a perfectly reasonable strategy that I have no issue with. I don't have a problem with there being Wii Sports and its ilk on the Wii. Where I take issue is that these casual players so far don't seem to have ventured into traditional gaming (Stage 3) and have remained at best at Stage 2 (the bridge games). So while Nintendo has to keep making Stage 1 and the occasional Stage 2 games to keep this new audience they've acquired satiated, the traditional gamers start having to look elsewhere to satisfy their gaming needs and that depletes the traditional gamer market on the Wii (either through completely selling off the console or just finding better games to spend their money on on other platforms). When the time comes around that a traditional gamer title gets released, there's fewer traditional gamers to buy the product and there's no supply of new-ly converted gamers to fill the gap. Then we enter into a vicious cycle where companies look at those results and interpret it as meaning that the Wii is a console where traditional games cannot thrive. They release fewer traditional games, more traditional gamers look elsewhere, and the cycle repeats.

I don't want this to be a "traditional vs. casual" argument, because that's not really what I'm going for. I'm perfectly fine with everyone getting games that satisfies everyone's tastes, but it doesn't seem like our casual cousins are ever going to venture over to this side of the Blue Ocean and they are the ones with the buying power these days. In any case, all I ever intended to do in the first place was respond to Mop's rather pointed comment. I never meant for it to monopolize the thread (though I figured it would), so I'm done arguing it for the time being.

Post by: KDR_11k on January 15, 2010, 09:41:48 AM: I think that's a wrong interpretation of Disruption, Nintendo goes upmarket but with new values, not the old ones. They aren't trying to move those new gamers to the old games (after all they had 20 years to pick them up), they are establishing a new type of gaming with new values. Mario Kart and NSMBW also share those new values despite being old designs (Sean Malstrom claims the "new" values are actually just a return to the arcade/NES days, I know my parents count as casual gamers now but they used to play a lot on their 2600 back in the day).

Nintendo wouldn't cancel a game unless they had a good reason to do it. There is no way in hell they would cancel, of all things, a Pikmin game that Miyamoto said was being made. Unless, of course, they wanted a more powerful system.

That's just a wild guess, but the game is in no way cancelled.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 15, 2010, 01:01:16 PM: Broodwars: Sounds like you are saying that Nintendo is doing a bang up jump of bringing in the casuals(stocking the lake) and proving bridge games(baiting the hook), but then no one is transitioning them in to traditional gamers. So it sounds like your beef isn't with Nintendo, but your beef is more that 3rd parties aren't doing their part on the Wii if you can't find what your looking for.

I don't smoke anymore, but 3rd parties remining me of those people that would come up to you and ask to bum a smoke, so you give them a cigarette, then they ask to borrow a light, you look at them funny but you light the cigarette for them but have to ask "Would you like me smoke that for you too?".

Is Nintendo really expected to do everything? 3rd parties aren't even trying to fill the gaps in the Wii release schedule even when Nintendo purposely leaves them wiiiiiiiiide open. All 3rd parties have done is copy some of the early things that Nintendo has done successfully on the Wii, do it extremely cheaply and repeatedly until it doesn't sell anymore. But just like the 3rd parties you blame Nintendo for this?

You say that there are no "traditional" gamers left on the Wii (outside of Nintendo fans), and it may or may not be true, but it's no one fault but the 3rd parties.

Nintendo releases WiiSports
3rd Parties see sports mini games. Deca Sports and countless other sports minis are born

Nintendo releases WiiPlay
3rd parties see mini game collection. Carnival games, Raving Rabbids and countless other minigame collection are born. Not to mention that that for some reason Light Gun games and On Rails shooters become a focus.

Nintendo releases Mario Galaxy
3rd parties ignore it because it's Mario. Where are all the damn platformers?

Nintendo releases Metroid Prime 3
3rd parties ignore that too. Wii owners don't like 1st person shooters.

Nintendo releases WiiFit
3rd parties see fitness games. Some good software actually came from this, but there are still some very obvious gaps being left wide open.

Now you have to look at 3rd party success that hasn't even been followed up and much less even copied.

Capcom re-re-releases Resident Evil 4.
Does Capcom follow that up with a similar style game?
Nope. RE5, Lost Planet, Dead Rising and anything else in the genre never shows up.
Does EA capitalize and release Dead Space on Wii to fill the obvious gap being ignored here?
of course not.
Does any 3rd party put any sort of effort into filling the 3rd person shooter gap on the Wii?

CoD whatever is released.
Does Activision push for more.... yeah, but late ports on low budgets.
Conduit is released. Solid effort from a C grade studio that actually brought something to the table.
Does anyone try to step up and be the FPS of the Wii?
Nah... but here is another 2yr late port.

So you can't blame Nintendo for the shortcoming in the Wii line up when it is the job of the 3rd parties to get in there and make the games that fill out the line up. I don't see anyone pointing any fingers at Sony or MS for having the 3rd parties do 90% of their heavy lifting while Nintendo carries all their own weight.

Nintendo is selling more hardware to more people faster than any console or handheld before this gen and 3rfd parties are abandoning the platform because they forgot how to make games that aren't HD? And when they do manage to make something worthwhile, they send it out to die with absolutely no advertising whatsoever.That is ridiculous and for every 3rd party that fails to stay profitable this generation has no one but themselves to blame.

I've always thought it was strange whenever somebody is disappointed by the sales of a product which doesn't interest them when it doesn't really affect the sales of products which do interest them.
Except that it does. When the casuals jump all over a title aimed at them (Wii Fit and Wii Play, for example), but not a title aimed at casual & core (Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3, for example), which do you think Nintendo focuses on making and which do you think 3rd parties see as titles that must be made? More casual titles, because that's what sells on Wii.
There is a simple answer here: if the Wii does not satisfy your gaming needs, then buy another system (which I believe you did). No matter what people say, I don't think the high sales of Wii mean that the XBox 360 or PS3 are going to be discontinued. And even in the off chance that they are, I'm sure some other company will come along and release a similar product in its place. There will always be alternatives, and that was my point.

Nintendo tossing us a bone or two every few years
Even although your original point was system sales, I'll comment on this too. When has Nintendo ever released more than a few games every year? After a quick search using your game-type criteria, I found that for the first three years of the system's market life, there were ten games released on the Nintendo 64, fourteen on the GameCube, and twelve on Wii. It doesn't seem to me that Nintendo have released less games that are "core", "traditional", or whatever silly term you'd like to use.

Plus the game has gotten some mainstream promotion. On a rock radio station I listen to they play a rather annoying short segment (mainly due to the way it's shamelessly trying to appeal to a bunch of frat boy shooter fans) called 'Got Game' where they highlight new releases. They specifically mentioned Reflex and said it turned out really well considering it got on Wii but chided the controls...the point of the Wii version was the different controls so it felt really silly for them to be complaining, especially with the customization options.

Well, I guess I was already wrong since Zelda is a game that is catered to the US and so is Metroid.
But when you sell in one(record setting) year in the US as much as you have sold in 3 years in Japan, it makes you wonder why there isn't more focus on things that would cater to the US Market even if htey have no appeal in the Japanese one.

I know Nintendo is all about universal appeal and games for everyone, but when you have one market that is making up roughly about 40-50% of your market, then I don't see what's wrong with putting them first a little more often.

I'm sure it would just help if they had more (competent) US based development studios that would give us games first so that we don't have to wait months after the Japanese version. We're not even guaranteed to get the Japanese version some time due to localization, general Japanese quirkiness or in some cases.... just because.

Not quite. Nintendo sold 3.8 million Wii's in December 2009 in the US, the Wii has sold about 9 million LTD in Japan.

Still, this is why even some Japanese publishers are starting to put more focus on the west (especially Capcom). Nintendo sorta seems to get it, they launched both the Nintendo DS and Wii in North America first (although the DS Lite, DSi, and DSi XL all came out in Japan first) and they continue to support the Metroid franchise despite the poor sales it gets in Japan. Nintendo at least seems to be getting better with localizing games, last gen we finally get long-running franchises like Advance Wars and Fire Emblem (both of which started out on the NES but had not been released outside of Japan).

I do wish they would give their US studio more independence. I know Sega was the model of how not to run a company, but their studios were so separated that their US studio would develop its own games independent of its Japanese parent and even created its own system (which got scrapped when Japan announced they were already making a system, a fact that they had not bothered to tell their US branch until they sent the nearly finished system to them to start promoting). Would it really hurt Nintendo to let NOA maybe develop a game on its own that caters more to a western audience?

I also don't know who to blame since I hear conflicting reports, but I am pissed that we don't get some games that even Europe gets (like Disaster: Day of Crisis). Nintendo also should have let Tecmo release Fatal Frame IV outside of Japan (supposedly they wanted to, but Nintendo had the publishing rights and refused to let them; a fact that wouldn't be so bad if Nintendo would publish it outside of Japan themselves).

On the flipside, you have the other two which seemed to base their decisions solely on the tastes of the western market, and they haven't done so well there.

Something that some may not want to hear is that Japanese developed games tend to be more marketable HERE than Western games being marketable over there. So Nintendo focusing on Japan has the side effect of also being somewhat vicariously also focused on us too. Notice that more than 1/2 of the games in the Top 20 in Dec 2009 were Eastern-developed games. Yes it's mostly Nintendo, but Nintendo is still Japan, and most of those games are popular there too.

And of course there may also be that burning drive to help out their own struggling videogame market. Just wish the rest of the companies there could take the hint too.

But when you sell in one(record setting) month in the US as much as you have sold in 3 years in Japan, it makes you wonder why there isn't more focus on things that would cater to the US Market even if htey have no appeal in the Japanese one.

Not quite. Nintendo sold 3.8 million Wii's in December 2009 in the US, the Wii has sold about 9 million LTD in Japan.

typo. I meant in 1 year with more than half of that being in the last 2 months (1.26M Nov. + 3.81M Dec.).

What a sad state PC gaming is in these days. WoW, Sims, and console ports seems to be the best we can hope for. I guess we have STEAM, but I imagine with STEAM included the top contenders wouldn't be much different.

I'm about to build a new gaming PC, personally. Maybe I'm just crazy, but I don't think a top ten list full of PC gaming's version of "The Wii is destroying gaming" is reason to give up.

Post by: GoldenPhoenix on January 18, 2010, 09:03:43 PM: NPD is pretty amazing for Wii, wow. Guess those who said it was on decline were wrong (again). Looks like NSMB:Wii was a big game after all (as it should be).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on January 18, 2010, 09:07:55 PM: I wonder how much of the Wii's success was because of the price drop and how much was because of NSMB. Without those two factors I'm sure it wouldn't have broken records. This will be enough to get Nintendo through the 1st quarter of the year too, but after that the Wii is going to need something else going for it.

I meant during the month of December. Metroid, Zelda, and SMG are all old games that couldn't have been a huge factor in the December charts. NSMB was new, and the price drop was new, so that's why I'm pretty sure those were the main factors for December's results.

I wonder how much of the Wii's success was because of the price drop and how much was because of NSMB. Without those two factors I'm sure it wouldn't have broken records. This will be enough to get Nintendo through the 1st quarter of the year too, but after that the Wii is going to need something else going for it.

Easy Metroid, Zelda, and SMG :)

I meant during the month of December. Metroid, Zelda, and SMG are all old games that couldn't have been a huge factor in the December charts. NSMB was new, and the price drop was new, so that's why I'm pretty sure those were the main factors for December's results.

Well I was talking about 2010 releases.

And it's about time. With the Wii the leading console this generation, it makes sense that retailers advertise it like they used to advertise the playstation 2.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 19, 2010, 01:58:00 AM: NPD: Behind the Numbers, December 2009 (http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/4247/npd_behind_the_numbers_december_.php)
Quote
Perhaps the bigger story that we perceive in our estimates is that Nintendo Wii has finally overtaken Microsoft's Xbox 360 in life-to-date sales.

Recall that the Xbox 360 launched a year prior to both the Wii and PlayStation 3. With that headstart Microsoft has often touted its strong record in selling a high number of units of software per system owner (also known as a tie ratio). According to Microsoft's latest press release on Xbox 360 sales, the system now has a tie ratio of 8.8, suggesting LTD software sales of 164 million units after 50 months on the market.

While the Nintendo Wii has historically had a lower tie ratio, even when sales were launch-aligned, the system's extraordinary hardware sales have yielded similarly strong overall software sales. According to our estimates, the Wii has now sold in excess of 175 million units of software in a mere 38 months.

After 38 months on the market (December 2008), the Xbox 360 had achieved software sales of around 112 million units.

Speaking of, these software numbers do not include Wii Sports, correct?

I'm just saying that games were being bought and they could have been raking in the cash right next to Nintendo had they brought something other than the rehashed D-Team efforts that most have provided when it either came to developing or advertising their Wii oriented software.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on January 19, 2010, 04:21:36 AM: About tie in ratios, let's not forget that most PS3s and 360s come with bundled games too, often even 2-3 of them.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on January 19, 2010, 05:48:41 AM: The only reason Kung-Fu Panda and Lego Indy sold on 360 as well as it did was last year they had a holiday bundle that included those two games and was advertised with those games like crazy.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 19, 2010, 06:05:43 AM: Lets look at it this way;

Xbox360
8.8 games per system average
18.6 million systems
8.8 x 18.6 = 163million games

Wii
6.4 games per system average
27.1 million systems
6.4 x 27.1 = 173million games

Wii = 10 million more games sold than 360.

The Wii is 12 months behind the 360 when it comes to time on the market and these figures don't include WiiSports that was bundled in.

You also have to take into account the massive number of new Wii owners who just got their systems this holiday season. Are they really expected to have purchased 6-7 games to go with their new Wii when it already came with one, they likely got WiiPlay for the extra controller and WiiFit was already gift wrapped under the tree?

Mop it up: I don't have 3rd party vs Nintendo figures handy, but I know 4rd parties are making plenty of that pie. It just so happens that most of the games start slow and continue to burn under the radar (outside the Top 20). The Wii has quite a few 3rd party Million sellers and last I checked, 3rd parties had over twice as many million sellers in the US market as Nintendo did themselves.

No, but it looks like we're on different pages. I was discussing why I thought the Wii did so great in December, and obviously it isn't because of games that are a year away.

Post by: Mop it up on January 19, 2010, 02:22:26 PM: Million-sellers on Nintendo platforms:

Nintendo 64
Total: 41
Nintendo-published: 29
Third-party: 12

GameCube
Total: 26
Nintendo-published: 19
Third-party: 7

Wii
Total: 39 (Wii Sports excluded)
Nintendo-published: 21
Third-party: 18

Source:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_games

Historically, Nintendo dominates the charts on their own system and third-parties thrive on other systems, so it is of no real surprise to me that third-parties were and still are reluctant to support the Wii. The numbers of the million-sellers of third-parties on the Wii doesn't compare to the multi-million selling third-party games on the other systems. Seeing the amount of software sold on a Nintendo system doesn't mean much when a good chunk of that is all Nintendo, whereas pretty much 100% of software sold on the XBox 360 and PS3 is third-party. On top of this, the Wii doesn't have most of the traditional values that third-parties are used to, evidenced by something like Game Party selling over a million, which pushes then further away.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 19, 2010, 02:51:07 PM: Not sure what kind of games it is, but 3rd parties are making plenty of money on Wii, just not in the Top 20 where they can brag about it.

That may be part of their problem with not advertising, as most Wii games that sell, do it under the radar. I'm sure plenty of those games were not full priced and many were probably bargain bin, but they were still selling.

According to some other chart I saw, 3rd parties are selling more software on the Wii than on the 360, and their money situation could be improved if they just upped the profile of the games they are releasing on the Wii. We don't need Assassins Creed 1 & 2, but it would be nice to atleast get a game of similar effort and scale.

It's true that they don't report pack-ins, but they do track them. NPD provides subscribers with extremely detailed breakdowns (including how many black DSi's were sold vs. white DSi's, 60GB Xbox 360's vs. 120GB's, etc.). That means that Nintendo would see how many DS Lite/Mario Kart DS bundles were bought compared with regular DS Lite systems.

Most of those unknown Wii million sellers are games that may sell like 60K a month and thus don't get their numbers reported unless the publisher chooses to release that info (even Nintendo doesn't release all sales info, their quarterly financial report only includes games that sold at least 1 million copies worldwide during that 3 month period).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on January 20, 2010, 11:53:58 AM: See the problem isn't that software isn't selling is the quality of what is selling. Here's a list: http://vgchartz.com/worldtotals.php?console=Wii
of the top sellers for the WII and you can see why 3rd parties complain. Alot of crap titles continue to outperform much better games--this is the main problem with targetting casual gamers (or mom's and dad's).

Nintendo used to be all about "quality" and yet this generation Big N is still third place when it comes to AAA-A-B rated games vrs either the xbox or ps systems. Part of the reason NSBM is selling is because what other AAA title was released last year for the WII? GI mag does a roundup of the top 50 games for the year and you know how many were for the WII? 9, 6 were exclusives--the 3 non-exclusive games were all music releated). PS3 actually had the most with 27 (7 exclusives) yet the system doesn't seem to sell. And the sad thing is it's like this every year with WII.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on January 20, 2010, 12:45:58 PM: GI mag has been a broken press outlet every year. Let's use a different source.

And looking at that vghchartz list, a lot of the "crap" had much better promotion than the "good" games that didn't make the list. Quite a number of sellers also came out at an opportune time, when customers were looking for supplements/alternatives to their Wii Sports/Wii Fit activities. At the same time, it bit both customers and 3rd parties in the ass: the customers got a good taste for non-Nintendo turdware (wasting their time & money) and they realized some brands should be avoided (ensuring the 3rd parties won't be able to succeed in selling their 2nd/3rd/4th waves of turdware later on).

Yeah, I like GI in general but if you're going to cite something like this you're better off looking at a site with a culmination of reviews from different sources, rather than just using what one source says are the 50 best games of the year. I don't necessarily think you're wrong, Ymeegod, but you have to use a better source. Besides, there are a whole lot of reasons behind what's going on with the Wii's software library other than "crap games sell great." Just ask Ubisoft how well that's working for them. You have a reluctance by 3rd parties to support the thing with titles that they would put on the HD consoles and expect to sell, an expanded audience that doesn't buy games, the incredibly weak Wii hardware (compared to its competitors) that can limit the experience developers want to make, etc. Unfortunately, it's probably too late now for developers to reestablish themselves on the console, because the ideal core audience has probably moved to the HD consoles by now.

And you're really citing vgchartz? Seriously?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: vudu on January 20, 2010, 02:16:41 PM: People don't buy "crap titles" because they like bad games. These games are selling better than games of higher quality because something about them appeals to the market. Maybe it's the advertising, maybe it's a box art, maybe it's the title, concept, price point, or any number of things. Everything else being equal, I think more consumers would rather play a good game than a bad game, but the publishers/developers of these good games need to better target Wii console owners.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 20, 2010, 02:22:52 PM: It's 2 FAILs in one post. Ymee's post has been invalidated.

& if you look back at my post, you realize that I mentioned discount and bargain bin games selling, but the biggest problem for software on the Wii is advertising. There almost is none. But when there is, it's likely for the Wii version to outsell the PS3 version and get close to, if not surpass the 360 version if the game is multi-plat.

3rd parties can complain all they want.
But I can't be mad at some other guy for stealing the girl of my dreams if I never bothered to let her know I exist.

As for BlackNMild2k1, yes marketting helps but these crap titles get just the same marketting as the good games. And since the WII doesn't have a hardcore following, the customers fall for marketting gimmicks. In the end it's up to the consumers and in the WII's case is made up of mostly casual gamers (mom's dad's ect) who freaking really don't have a clue what to buy.

As for GI, fine don't use it but you can use anybody else's top 50 games for the Year and it's going be basically the same minus a couple of titles. Can you honestly state the WII had a better year than MS or Sony--taking about quality software. If you are just going be metacritic or even gamerankings than Big N didn't even have an AAA title (92% or above) this year.

It's been posted on this forum a few times already, but NPD Analysis: How to Sell a Wii Game (http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2010/01/npd-analysis-how-to-sell-a-wii-game) over at Game|Life is an excellent article.

Quote
[M]ost sequels targeted to the mainstream and casual markets actually underperform in comparison to the original, which is the opposite to what has traditionally been the case for core targeted games. If you examine the Nintendo Wii and DS platforms (the current primary platform for this audience) Boom Blox outsold Boom Blox 2 (Wii); Brain Age outsold Brain Age 2 (DS); Guitar Hero III bested World Tour (Wii); The Bigs crushed The Bigs 2 (Wii); Mario & Sonic at the Olympics (Wii) is on track to outperform its Winter counterpart; Rayman Raving Rabbids (Wii) (2006) outsold its 2007 release; and lastly the original Cooking Mama(Wii, DS) (2006) has out sold all sequel versions combined.

EEDAR believes Nintendo understands the mindset of its consumers the best, which is why Nintendo rarely releases sequels within the same generation and, if they do, they are years apart. ... Of course this rule is not absolute for all casual and mainstream titles, some sequels do outperform the original, but in the overwhelming majority of cases, sequels on the Wii just cannibalize the potential sales of its predecessor. For reference, if the above examples were not proof enough, Call of Duty: World at War (2008) only outsold Call of Duty 3 by the smallest of margins and the most recent Call of Duty Modern Warfare: Reflex (2009) is currently on track to under-perform against World at War.
The point is, Wii gamers won't just buy a sequel because they liked the first game. It needs to do something drastically different to be seen as a worthwhile purchase. Even if the gamer loved the original title if the second one is just more-of-the-same then it's not going to sell.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on January 20, 2010, 06:16:32 PM: Yeah, Boom Blox 2 should have waited longer before releasing. The first had a good sales momentum going that was killed by the sequel. I own and love both, but it's so similar that they could have waited longer and made more changes to the game or added more stuff before releasing it. M+ could have added a lot of interesting mechanics.

Though remember that an insider that worked on Boom Blox reported that VGCharts over guessed the first games sales and under guessed the second games sales.

Post by: KDR_11k on January 21, 2010, 04:18:14 AM: Well, games are expensive so if they want to convince you to spend another 50€ they better make it give you something drastically new. Maybe a problem there is that hardcore games "run out", they have a defined singleplayer mode and when you beat that it's over and you consider buying a sequel, with an endless game there's no point where it ends and you need a new one?

It'll slow burn and sell to about 10% of new owners. It'll probably get an international version before this year ends. And then that'll go to the Playstation The Best Collection soon after.

Such is the life of a typical PS FF title. I can expect sales to explode in America since the FF fanbase here will pretty much buy anything no matter how stupid the game is.

But will it cover the astronomical development costs? Maybe.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on January 24, 2010, 10:25:08 AM: You are right, since the last chart NSMBW has passed Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japanese SMB 2, aka The Lost Levels) and Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. Up next is Super Mario World at 3.55 million.

Nikkei Net (http://www.nikkei.co.jp/news/main/20100124ATDD2207K23012010.html)says New Super Mario Bros. Wii has now sold 10 million units worldwide. The milestone was reached in around 8 weeks. This makes it the fast selling individual format title to 10 million.

Japan sales have reached 3 million according to Enterbrain. North America sales are over 4.5 million and Europe sales are approaching 3 million.

10 Million from NSMBW? thats like 500 million smackers! Did Nintendo really make nearly half a billion off of one game?

40 million worldwide, but it was a pack-in outside of Japan.

No. Development, manufacturing, exchange rates, retailer cuts, marketing, etc. all factor into the cost of selling the game. It's probably more like 200 million... which is still an inconceivable amount.

Woah! interesting... how big of a market is the UK anyways? Compared to the US, or to the rest of europe?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on January 24, 2010, 09:57:49 PM: The UK is the biggest market in Europe (I think it's something like 25% of the total market, but this obviously varies by game type and system. PC games, for example, are much larger in Germany and Sweden). It's pretty small compared to the US though. For the 12 month period of September 2008 to September 2009, UK video game sales were $2.8 billion. US video game sales in November 2009 alone were $2.7 billion.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on January 25, 2010, 02:25:35 AM: Don't forget taxes. Surely, the Japanese (and other) government will be seeing a percentage of Nintendo's profits.

It would be a game about Assassins, so what would be the odds on that? Granted, the same odds of creating a rail-shooter out of a franchise about stabbing people, but still...

Holy smokes! How could I forget! I've enjoyed Pokemon Snap so much more than any other console Pokemon that has ever come out. We need to make a thread about it here. Make a big deal about it. Have our members make threads about it on other lesser boards just to generate phony interest. Then maybe some goon will ask Miyamoto or Iwata about it during E3 just to plant it into their minds. Now thats an elaborate and college educated scheme!

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 28, 2010, 12:54:38 PM: So to sum up the Nintendo Financial Report,
Nintendo has released 3 games(WSR, WF+, NSMBW) that have sold more than 10 million units in 6 months(July - Dec.) or less and the NES(61.88M) has been outsold by the Wii(67.45M) in the same quarter(Q3 2009) that the GB/GBC(118.69M) has been outsold by the DS(125.13M).

This also means that Wii is currently the fastest selling console ever just barely beating out the DS after 13 quarters:
WII - 67.45 million
NDS - 64.79 million (@ 13 Quarters)

I wonder how Nintendo is gonna top this? No where to go but down from here.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Caterkiller on January 28, 2010, 01:07:45 PM: I was thinking the same thing. Like Reggie said even befor the Wii was released, something like "Nintendo was the top, and when you get to the top, no where to go but down."

Post by: Chozo Ghost on January 28, 2010, 01:40:14 PM: Beating the Gameboy (especially if the GBC is counted together with it) is an extremely amazing feat when you consider the very long life and near total monopoly that system had on the handheld market. Most consoles last 5 years, right? Well, the Gameboy came out in like 1987 or something like that and lasted until about 2001 or so.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on January 28, 2010, 04:46:56 PM: Game Boy came out in August 1989, Game Boy Color (which Nintendo bundles with Game Boy for sales numbers) came out in November 1998. GBC games were still coming out as late as 2003 (Game Boy Advance came out in March 2001 in Japan and June 2001 in North America).

The DS was already the second best selling system ever, but it was hard to say for sure due to Nintendo combing GB/GBC. The only system left to beat is the PlayStation 2 at 138 million. The Wii is now the 3rd best selling console, only behind the PlayStation and PS2.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on January 28, 2010, 05:52:50 PM: I wouldn't consider the GBC to be the same system, because GBC games weren't reverse compatible with the original GB. In my opinion, as soon as you've broken compatibility what you have is a new system.

Technically, there's a DSi-exclusive game (with more on the way). Does it count as a new system?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on January 28, 2010, 06:11:26 PM: You can't play DSiWare games on a regular DS.

I think you either have to count both as the same system or both as completely separate systems. You can't say GB is different from GBC and DS is the same system as DSi or vise versa.

Good point. I guess having one or a small handful of exclusives isn't enough, but if this becomes a trend and we start seeing lots of broken compatibility DSi games, then sure....

Post by: Mop it up on January 28, 2010, 06:54:18 PM: Regardless of whether or not the Game Boy/Game Boy Color and the various DS editions are different systems or not, such system revisions still inflate sales due to repeat buyers. If the Wii manages to outsell them without the aid of a hardware revision, that will be quite a feat indeed, and would also mean that such a number would be closer to the actual userbase of the system.

I think that's incorrect logic that focuses only on relative positions. Sure, you can't rank better than #1 but this isn't Formula 1, you don't get a fixed number of points for your ranking. The real score is the money and you can always gain more of that, you can always sell more systems, etc. Previous records can always be beaten, after all they were set by beating old ones in first place. Nintendo's performance can go up and down without them ever getting near #2. Microsoft would be happy to be #1 but Nintendo isn't striving for #1, they're striving for the highest score possible.

Yeah, it really is this in the end.

I distinctly remember Iwata saying something like if the Wii was simply a console that outsold the GameCube, it'd be a failure. The Wii's final legacy, will be determined not by whether its console tally is more or less than X number, but by whether it changes the accessibility, perception, and relevance of gaming for people outside the gaming subculture echo chamber.

Cater was responding to what I said. And I don't think you understand what I was saying.
If Nintendo doesn't go down, then they will be breaking their own record, and I'm pretty sure Wii & DS have hit their peaks already. No one was expecting Nintendo to magically fall into second place, just start getting more negative news as their sales drop, profits drop and stock decreases from "having nowhere to go but down".

In other words, Nintendo is doing too well and there is no way they can maintain this record setting pace.

There is a huge untapped consumer base out there that would get one just because or because the price was right. wait till the Wii is only $99.99. At this same point in time the Wii is selling faster then the DS and the DS is way past it's prime, but they both still have lots of room on the price.

Picture the frenzy at Xmas 2011 when the DSi is only $99, the Wii is $149 and you can get either of them in a nice range of colors.

Outsell the DS or not, the DS/Wii combo have the potential to be the #1/#2 best selling game systems ever.

And aside from that, the DS came out 2 years before the Wii so it has a good head start. Plus the DS' sales are continuing to increase and aren't showing any signs of slowing down.

I think the DS is destined to be the number one system of all time. The Wii has no hope of ever overtaking it, but it could become 2nd.

Wii and Nintendo DS Outsell NES and GameBoy

Having updated its lifetime hardware sales figures, Nintendo today confirmed that the Wii has outsold the Nintendo Entertainment System--making Wii the "best selling Nintendo home videogame console of all time"--while the Nintendo DS has replaced the GameBoy as its best-selling hardware of all time.

"Needless to say, these are just two milestones of a larger journey in our efforts to reach the ultimate goal of bringing one home console for every household and one handheld for everyone," Nintendo president Satoru Iwata explained in his presentation.

Wii Sports and New Super Mario Bros. DS

A breakdown of some top-selling Wii and Nintendo DS games accompanied the revelation, with the original Wii Sports--bundled with Wii hardware everywhere except Japan, where it is sold seperately--now at 60.69 million copies worldwide.

Nintendo DS Software - Lifetime Sales of Select Titles
o Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver - 3.7 million
o Pokemon Platinum - 6.86 million
o New Super Mario Bros. - 21.39 million
o Tomodachi Collection - 2.74 million
o Mario Kart DS - 17.28 million
o The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks - 2.45 million
o Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box - 2.23 million
o Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story - 2.62 million
o Professor Layton and the Curious Village - 3.04 million
o Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - 1.33 million
o Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day - 18.59 million

Wii Software - Lifetime Sales of Select Titles
o Wii Sports - 60.60 million
o Wii Sports Resort - 13.58 million
o New Super Mario Bros. Wii - 10.55 million
o Wii Fit Plus - 10.16 million
o Mario Kart Wii - 21.22 million
o Wii Fit - 22.56 million
o Wii Play - 26.71 million

As for the relevant portion of Iwata's presentation, here's what he had to say:

Family Computer System, called Nintendo Entertainment System or NES in short in overseas markets, had sold 61.91 million units, which was the largest unit sales figure for any Nintendo home videogame consoles.

The cumulative sales of Wii hardware from Nintendo to our distributors and retail customers reached 67.45 million units as of the end of December 2009. It has replaced NES to become the best selling Nintendo home videogame console of all time.

Among handheld hardware, GameBoy series have sold through 118.69 million units in total since the launch, which was the largest unit sales figure among all Nintendo's hardware products.

As of the end of December 2009, when Wii marked the record LTD sales as the number one selling Nintendo home console, the life-to-date shipments of Nintendo DS series reached 125.13 million units, which has now become largest sales figure among all of the Nintendo's videogame hardware.

Needless to say, these are just two milestones of a larger journey in our efforts to reach the ultimate goal of bringing one home console for every household and one handheld for everyone.

Straight from the horses mouth.

I think that is another term for Lapsed game. Someone that played games before and stopped than started again.

According to the transcript of Iwata's presentation, a sleep user is someone who hasn't played a game for a year.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on January 31, 2010, 06:06:54 PM: MMMMmmm... lists. I love lists.

Apparently, I own 32 of those supposed million sellers. But I'm also like "WAH?" There's House of the Dead 2 + 3 on there! And Star Wars: Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels! Interesting guesstimates from VGChartz, to say the least.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on February 01, 2010, 04:15:17 AM: Games like Clone Wars and MotD 2+3 were always reported to be sleeper hits I think. This includes worldwide sales and its interesting to see what ones had more sales in 'other' regions.

I only own about 12, but there are also 8 I plan on getting eventually.

Post by: Kairon on February 02, 2010, 12:50:47 AM: I dunno, if we're going to exclude such an important outlier for the HD consoles, we should remove at least the top 3rd party game for the Wii.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 02, 2010, 01:13:51 AM: It's one big game. We all know how well MW2 did, so it's kind of a reality check to see what the average 3rd party sales for the majority of the 3rd party titles are on the 3 consoles.

How many 3rd parties are gonna release a MW2 this gen? so far 1. Activision. so leaving out that one game helps to put things into perspective. And I believe those charts are from the Nintendo Financial Report, so of course they are gonna set the chart in a way that is gonna reflect positively upon them.

Post by: Stratos on February 02, 2010, 04:35:54 AM: Removing MW2 from the chart does show how well 3rd party titles on Wii were doing before MW2, though.

The outliers for the Wii are the first party games. Funny how the third parties whine about Nintendo eating their sales but not MW2.

Post by: Peachylala on February 02, 2010, 12:50:07 PM: Yet that's all they do: whine. Nintendo gives them evidence that their games, when made with REAL EFFORT, can sell. Nintendo has it easy (sometimes) since they have alot of established IPs, unless the game gets negative press because the 'gaming' 'media' thinks they know everything. (hi wii music)

Also, for the sake of trolling PS3 sales: Infamous deserves to sell well. Uncharted, no.

I agree on Uncharted not deserving to sell better than Infamous. Uncharted 2 on the other hand, is a different story. :P:

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on February 02, 2010, 11:26:17 PM: I watched it earlier on iTunes. While, I listened to it in the background. There is no reason to watch it since it's 32 minutes of Iwata talking, it would have been better if they actually showed the charts Iwata kept talking about (he would say stuff like "as you see if you look at this chart...."). At least he answered my question of what thy meant by sleep gamers, they are people who used to play games but have not played one in at least 12 months.

But yeah, this was meant for stockholders instead of gamers.

They had to work closely with IBM to design a special new supercomputer that would be able to store all the money. Regular computers lack the RAM and storage capacity to work with such a huge number.

We all know the lifetime sales of the game will be higher. That wasn't the point. It's a silly bet and he probably shouldn't have agreed to it, but he was kind of pushed into it.

Post by: Mop it up on February 11, 2010, 07:49:27 PM: We all know those will be higher too. Again, not the point. The point was, they wanted to have some accomplishment for Modern Warfare 2 to be able to cling to, and that accomplishment is "Beat New Super Mario Brothers Wii in sales for holiday season 2009 in North America."

Core Games on Wii Continue To Struggle
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle has scored top reviews averaging a 90 (out of 100) since its release. However, sales came less than 30,000 units for its first week (January 26, 2010 release). Given that the game is more targeted to the traditional core gamers (who tend to be more attached to the Xbox 360 and PS3) this is yet another sign that the Wii is a difficult device for third party publishers to succeed on with M Rated titles. Other titles that have failed to perform despite strong review scores on the Wii include Dead Space: Extraction (ERTS) and MadWorld (Sega). Of course, all three titles did have low marketing budgets, which is likely the wrong strategy to use when attempting to target the Wii consumer, even if you are targeting the “core” market.

if it continues to do 30k a week it would have 120k 1st month(150k by the time we see numbers again), and that seems like a pretty good start for a game that I haven't seen a single commercial for.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on February 11, 2010, 11:25:39 PM: NSMB will continue to sell extremely well for the duration of the Wii's lifecycle. The same cannot be said for the CoD game. It might have sold more in the first three months (which is not totally fair btw, because CoD is a multiplatform game), but next month it will sell considerably less, and then the month after it will sell considerably more less, and the next month it won't chart at all... but NSMB will continue to chug along for the next 2-3 years.

And in the end Reggie will have been proven right, but it might have taken longer than predicted.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on February 11, 2010, 11:30:16 PM: So how does NMH2 sales compare to those of the original for its first week? If NMH2 is doing better than NMH1 then I would definitely consider that a success of sorts. Also, a lot of people don't seem to realize the long burn games like that have on the Wii. How many copies has NMH1 sold LTD? Sales during the first month may be disappointing, but just wait and see...

Well darn.

Oh well, it always was a stretch, and the only reason we considered it was the immense strength of NSMBWii in December.

Geoff Keighley must be one of the few people wiley enough to corner a Nintendo Jedi Master and extract this sort of commitment.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 12, 2010, 02:37:01 PM: 01. NSMBW
18. NSMBDS

05. Mario Kart Wii
16. Mario Kart DS

These games don't just have legs, they have hiking boots and ski poles. They are in for the long haul cross generation trek.

MKDS came out at Nov. 2005 and still making the Top 20!!! 4yrs 3months later. It's just insane.

NSMB DS came out May of 2006 and is still in the Top 20!! 3 months away from 4 yrs and it's still going! These games are the energizers of the gaming industry only the energizer bunny has nothing on them.

Remember DQVIII, PJ's King Kong, PD0, and Kameo? all came out in Nov. 2005.
Those games all ran out of gas a long time ago and MKDS is still making laps.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: broodwars on February 12, 2010, 02:45:23 PM: I find it interesting that Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks sales seem to have plummeted off a cliff just a month after its original release, yet Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story is still in the Top 20. I guess NSMBW's success is spilling over into the other Mario properties, because you wouldn't think a Nintendo RPG would have held out for this long.

I'm also surprised that MAG is up there in the Top 20 at all, given that every video I've seen of that game just looks like the most generic and boring FPS action ever. :confused;

On a related note, Bioshock 2 had better be in the Top 10 NPDs next month (360 version, probably, due to original install base and Xbox Live multiplayer).

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 12, 2010, 03:27:53 PM: NSMBW has hooked the tow cables of some older Mario games and drug them back up to the surface. I wonder if SMG2 will have the same effect, or will it just attach it's cable to NSMBW's tow and go along for the ride?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on February 12, 2010, 05:51:05 PM: Yeah, whenever I think of Zelda games I think of the middle-ages, but trains and cowboys and stuff belong in the wild west so it didn't seem like a real authentic Zelda game to me, and therefore I'm not interested in it AT ALL. Zelda needs to stay in the medieval era where it belongs.

Then again, I also wonder if Mario has any business going out into outer space.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on February 12, 2010, 06:02:42 PM: Zelda games tend to follow the pattern of non-Nintendo games in that they get most of their sales early on. Zelda games don't seem to get the evergreen effect like Mario games do.

Zelda games tend to follow the pattern of non-Nintendo games in that they get most of their sales early on. Zelda games don't seem to get the evergreen effect like Mario games do.

Not exactly, Zelda games do have long legs and put up good sales numbers after launch. I wouldn't be surprised if Spirit Tracks ended up selling somewhere between 50-100k for this month, and then manages to continuing selling between 50-100k every month for the rest of the year. Just because the numbers aren't up there's with Mario's doesn't mean much since unless your Pokemon or the Wii___ series, nobody else comes close to matching Mario.

Plus it should also be noted that the Zelda series is much more popular on home consoles then handhelds. Unlike Mario who can do well on both, the Zelda fanbase doesn't seem as interested in it's portable counterparts. The fact that the Gamecube version of Twilight Princess sold better then Minish Cap says it all.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on February 12, 2010, 11:58:16 PM: Mario is a game that's easier to just pick up and play when you're at a bus station, or wherever. The problem with Zelda is it involves a lot more time and focus becuase you are out exploring and whatnot.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on February 14, 2010, 12:19:39 AM: Mario is a brand name though; a recent poll had just about 90% of the USA know who Mario is by image alone both gamers and non.

Sony & MS really don't have mascots (Sony did in it's early days with Crash but ending up killing the series and MS's attempts haven't done much).

So why non-gamers buy a system they grab what's fimilar and that's Mario :0.

Crash was never SONY's mascot (they never owned the character, they just published the early games.), it was unofficially the PlayStation's mascot though. Sony for a few weeks in 1995 did have a mascot though called Polygonman (although when Sony Computer Entertainment Japan found out about SCEA doing this, they basically told them to stop saying this was their mascot).

(135k) > Bayonetta 360 > (64k) > Bayonetta PS3

If this is true can people please stop bringing up MadWorld as a reason that people don't buy mature games on the Wii now.

This is a game by the same developer and is on the HD systems. From what I hear it had a huge advertising budget as well. Not to mention it had the incredible advantage of not being a black and white game and had a sexy protagonist to go after the young male audience they are gunning for.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on February 18, 2010, 04:01:37 AM: Madworld has sold reportedly 280k in the US and 420k worldwide so it actually beats Bayonetta out on both systems combined.

Are you comparing 1st month sales with LTD sales?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on February 18, 2010, 05:03:25 PM: Yes, but I'm assuming this game will fall off the radar after a month or so like most traditional games do.

And by 'reportedly' I mean VGChartz, though I vaguely recall this thread confirming those numbers a while back.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: vudu on February 18, 2010, 05:08:08 PM: MadWorld had a significant price drop within a couple months after release. Although I have nothing but anecdotal evidence I'm willing to bet the majority of its sales were at price points below $30.

I don't expect Bayonetta to stay full price for long--you can already get it for $50 on Amazon--and once it drops to $20 or $30 a lot of people will pick it up.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on February 18, 2010, 05:25:33 PM: Good point. I forgot to consider price drops.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on February 19, 2010, 12:48:20 AM: Yeah, I grabbed Madworld off Amazon for $19 in december, and last I checked it had falled to a mere $12.99. I'm sure the sales are great at this price, but really, how much money is the company making with the price being that low? Selling 100k copies of games at $12 really isn't the same as selling 100k copies of games at $49 a pop. I mean, it looks great from a sales figures perspective, but quantity isn't everything.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 19, 2010, 01:05:53 AM: But if enough people buy the game the 1st time around, even at discounted prices, then that is that many more people that may be on the look out and potential early buyers of a sequel.

The real test of the title would be on it's sequel, to appeal to all those that bought the 1st game, only hopefully this time at full price.

So a real test of that would be to see what kind of numbers No More Heroes 2 pulls out.

And the $12 price was temporary. It's back at $20 when I ordered it.

Perhaps, but if the game doesn't make a decent profit it is highly unlikely there will ever be a sequel anyway.

No, because that's exactly how it is for me too. I actually have quite a few games still in the shrink wrap that I got during the holidays and since then that I haven't touched. That's just how it is for me when there are games for cheap. I know the prices won't last, and in fact the games themselves might be discontinued so I impulsively grab them and then there they sit for months or years...

No, because that's exactly how it is for me too. I actually have quite a few games still in the shrink wrap that I got during the holidays and since then that I haven't touched. That's just how it is for me when there are games for cheap. I know the prices won't last, and in fact the games themselves might be discontinued so I impulsively grab them and then there they sit for months or years...

Though it is a bit nice to know you have some backup titles for days when you just want something new on a whim.

:( First new IP Nintendo releases in a while that targets hardcore gamers and I doubt we'll ever see it stateside.

Bayonetta is already double what Madworld sold (VGS has it listed at 410K on the Xbox 360 and about the same on the PS3). It will break the million mark before a major price drop I guessing. Still thought it should have sold a bit more, Darksiders outsold it.

No More Heroes 2 was 60K according to VGS (one week of Jan plus one week of Feb). Again, not selling at all well. T-whatever vrs Capcom sold a modest number around 200K.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 19, 2010, 04:02:37 PM: I believe it's on track to do better than some of the EDF games from the same company.

edit:
[PS2] Earth Defense Force Tactics (D3 Publisher) - 3.098
[360] Earth Defense Force 3 (D3 Publisher) - 13.369
[WII] Zangeki no Reginleiv (Nintendo) - 22.000

And it's supposedly sold out of one SKU on amazon.jp and won't be restocked until the 22nd. But I don't know how many SKU's of ZnR there were, so I don't know if that means anything.

I told you that. :)
Except I bought it knowing that I would likely never play it, and have no desire to play it, so... something's not right.

(135k) > Bayonetta 360 > (64k) > Bayonetta PS3

If this is true can people please stop bringing up MadWorld as a reason that people don't buy mature games on the Wii now.

This is a game by the same developer and is on the HD systems. From what I hear it had a huge advertising budget as well. Not to mention it had the incredible advantage of not being a black and white game and had a sexy protagonist to go after the young male audience they are gunning for.
Bayonetta is a fun game, but it is not flawless. Enemies can land really cheap hits if you are not careful (and sometimes Witch Time doesn't happen at all), and the storyline itself is stupid as hell. Basically a Devil May Cry with tits, though I give Kamiya props for making an Okami cameo.

Keep in mind that EDF T was terrible, the real sales were with EDF 2 (that got an award for selling 200k in total).

Hmm, what on earth is that supposed to mean? Do you think NMSBwii is a bad quality game?

I don't own either game, but I've heard mostly very glowing reports of NMSBwii (IGN except of course, but then, they're morons), more so than I've heard for Bioshock 2 (which seems to get dissed a lot as a pretty but otherwise meh regurgitation of the first Bioshock).

Absolutely not. My point was simply that sales alone do not invalidate the claims that it is a lazy game.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on February 22, 2010, 11:33:24 PM: I think IGN call NSMBWii lazy because it recycles some content and doesn't really have any new features than multiplayer. I don't know, it isn't my opinion so go ask somebody who thinks that. My point was simply that sales do not equal quality and using sales isn't a good counterpoint when someone calls a game something like "lazy."
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Guitar Smasher on February 22, 2010, 11:49:30 PM: Well with your McDonald's example, they would not be selling more than anyone else if they were charging $15 like 'quality' hamburgers typically cost. But with NSMBWii, it sells at or close to the same price as any other game. Yet it has sold over 10 million. SMG is not seen as a lazy game, yet it doesn't even come close in sales. I think that after a certain number of sales, you can't deny a title's greatness. And clearly consumers don't consider it lazy, evidenced by the high post-Christmas sales created through word-of-mouth.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on February 23, 2010, 12:13:14 AM: I don't think that people's enjoyment of a game has much to do with whether or not it is lazy, as recycling content from a great game isn't going to result in a bad game. I think that was IGN's point anyway, considering that their article was titled "Nintendo is lazy and you don't care." They're right, we don't care. We enjoy good games regardless of how much "effort" went into them.

Post by: Guitar Smasher on February 23, 2010, 12:35:17 AM: I revisited that editorial, and while recycling is mentioned briefly, the bulk consists of slamming Nintendo for not pushing visual or audio limits. Personally, I don't consider this lazy. If they were undershooting consumers desires, then I'd agree, but clearly this hasn't happened. If consumers thought they were being presented with a 'lazy' product that's valued didn't match its price, they wouldn't have bought it en masse. It's simple demand.

Thinking about it, it's rather ironic that the editorial encourages over-production, because this is putting game companies out of business. If the industry followed Matt's advice exclusively, he'd be out of a job within a decade.

And that's taking the editorial at face value. There's some not so subtle undertones that have cost IGN a number of visitors.

Again, I realize you're talking about the recycling aspect, but I think that was only a minor point of the editorial.

Post by: Mop it up on February 23, 2010, 12:46:29 AM: Well, I think one of the things the article was saying is that people should raise their standards.

I don't agree with the article, but more understand where they are coming from. I'm not going to defend something I don't agree with, though. Personally, I wouldn't use sales as an indication for the amount of effort that went into a game, but that's just me. Games like Super Mario Galaxy and Zelda Twilight Princess clearly had higher production values, but I also don't feel as if that automatically makes them more enjoyable. That actually might be shown by sales, however... :-\

The McDonald's example was probably better suited as a reason why cheap games tend to sell well.

There are all sorts of ways to push the boundaries, and there are all sorts gamers out there who are discovering, and rediscovering, stuff that the industry seems to keep forgetting every 5, 10, 15 years. It's a big ocean. You'll find fish of all ages, shape, and size in it.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on February 23, 2010, 03:40:19 AM: Exactly Kairon, exactly. Thinking about it, if New Super Mario Brothers Wii is lazy, I can think of only a handful of games across all systems that weren't.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on February 23, 2010, 04:30:32 AM: Simple doesn't necessarily mean bad, but it really all depends on the genre. NSMB is a 2D platformer which means it only has to be a simple game in order to be good, and in fact as Lao Tzu said "you destroy the fish with too much poking" so more is not always better.

But then again, there are genres where that rule doesn't apply. Some games you want to have tons of stuff and ultra detail.

Post by: Stratos on February 28, 2010, 06:02:49 PM: WiiWare Market Grows to Nearly $60M USD in 2009

Quote from: Nintendo Life
According to an analysis by Forecasting and Analyzing DigitalEntertainment, or FADE, WiiWare titles raked in nearly $59 million USDduring 2009 in the Western market alone (North/South America, Europe,and Australia), with a 30% jump in revenue compared to the previousyear. A service that seems to have more success with third-partydevelopers, with FADE estimating their 10% of the market claimingnearly 70% of the combined download revenue that totals around $125million USD. The Virtual Console, on the other hand, has suffered itsown problems. With periods where it sees no updates in the Wii ShopChannel weekly additions, coupled with the promotion that Nintendo ranwhere gamers could claim a free NES game if the Internet Channel waspurchased prior to going free (which led to an estimated over half amillion free giveaways), Virtual Console games took in an estimated $66million USD but are believed to have dropped 25% in revenue last year.

They apparently compiled numbers from the Nintendo Channel and made estimates off of that. So these numbers are by no means concrete, but they do show the gist of where Nintendo's services are going. The article cites Nintendo's lackadaisical efforts on the system as the reason VC revenue has not been better. Releasing one or even no games in a week kills off people's interest. I don't even pay much attention to VC releases and stumble upon new ones by accident weeks later or if the online buzz is big enough.

There are 347 VC games in North America and 508 total. There are also 189 WiiWare games in North America. So I think it's safe to say those are just how many have been released in North America.

Post by: SalesBot on March 01, 2010, 03:03:32 PM: Famitsu:

Nintendo has sold 10 Million Wiis in Japan. A feat that took 170 weeks for the Wii was previously done by the PS2 in 131 weeks.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on March 01, 2010, 06:14:37 PM: It sucks it didn't beat the PS2's record, but it is still #1 this generation. Is the gaming market shrinking in Japan? Maybe its just moving more over to the handheld systems. Maybe the DS's unprecedented success explains the Wii's lower performance.

Well Nintendo can't break every record. Awesome it made it that high in Japan alone so far. What did the GC sell in Japan in its life time? like 6 Million?
It think it's absolutely amazing how Nintendo's Wii entries in their beloved franchises outsold the GCN's entire lifespan.

Didn't Brawl outsell Melee in a couple of months?

4.04 million according to Nintendo itself. Wii beat it in less than 1 year.

Yes, but it isn't really a fair comparison when you consider that the Wii has a larger userbase. If you go by percentage of userbase, SSBMelee is higher.

That's because Melee kept selling for years, Brawl was front-loaded. Melee sold about 6 million, Brawl is at about 8 million (worldwide, I couldn't find Japanese specific for these 2). Melee would continue appearing in the Top 10 GameCube games in North America even 4 years after its release.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on March 02, 2010, 08:29:44 PM: That's probably because Melee was released close to launch, and such titles tend to have longer shelf lives than titles released later on.

True, but still Melee had quite a selling punch to it, even beating out the first Halo (although that did have a squeal that generation).

How come the Japanese turned their backs on Nintendo during the GC era when they had been supportive of them in the past? I thought the Japanese were bound by the code of Bushido and would never betray the company they supported?

But in any case, its good to see they are finally coming back to their senses and throwing their support behind the Mushroom kingdom once more.

Pretty sure the mass exodus in Japan happened during the N64 era, actually. The Sega Saturn was far more relevant there than other markets too.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on March 04, 2010, 03:10:20 AM: The Nintendo 64 didn't sell well in Japan because of lack of RPGs. Super Mario 64 sold a good amount of systems, but after that there wasn't much that could compete with the PlayStation and its never-ending stream of RPGs. This continued with GameCube.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 04, 2010, 04:18:43 AM: Mario 64 sold tons of N64 in Japan, problem was that after everyone beat Mario64, there was nothing else to play for months, so they sold all the systems back to the shops.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on March 04, 2010, 06:07:24 PM: Look at the percentage though, the publishers didn't ship that many (meaning it probably wasn't easy to find a copy). The Dragon Ball Z game only had about 10,000 copies shipped (they sold 4,900 copies and that was 50% of the total shipped). It looks like most of them had about 10K shipped, with One Piece and Muramasa having about 12K shipped each.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on March 04, 2010, 06:14:43 PM: I see, I didn't realize that's what the percentages mean. I guess those numbers are okay, though I think if Nintendo wants to release them in North America then they shouldn't release all seven at once. They should space them out like they did with the New Play Control! games.

Nintendo should freaking release the last NPC games before re-re-releasing games that have already been released here on Wii.

It's missing TW PGA Tour 10.
I know that game sold over 1 million.

But they could have at least organized the list alphabetically. Maybe I'll do it if I get bored enough.

Post by: Mop it up on March 06, 2010, 02:37:27 AM: I think it is organized by sales numbers, which makes more sense.

If you're going to do any organization, I'd think that separating it by company or by game type would provide interesting results.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 06, 2010, 02:53:20 AM: It doesn't make sense at all if they don't post the sales numbers to go along with it.
(or at least state that it's listed from highest selling to lowest)
All the list list are games that have sold over 1million, it really could use some sort of organization or numbering at the very least.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on March 06, 2010, 03:13:24 AM: I'm not sure what the source is, maybe the exact numbers weren't shown.

I guess it doesn't matter beyond a certain point. Everything below Game Party sold less than two million, there probably isn't much difference between them.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 06, 2010, 03:22:14 AM: I would just like some numbers on some of the titles as a reference for where they fall on the list.

Like #1 = 13million, #16 = 3.6million, #34 = 2.1million, etc. etc.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread

Post by: TJ Spyke on March 06, 2010, 09:19:47 AM: That list is fake, it's from VG Chartz (who, as everyone knows, make up their numbers). So not only did that site steal that list from another site, they stole it from a unreliable site that makes up their info (it's like stealing something from a rumor site and presenting it as facts you are reporting). http://vgchartz.com/worldtotals.php?page=2&results=50&name=&console=Wii&minSales=0&publisher=&genre=&sort=Total

Sony also submitted some stuff to FCC having to do with a possible new model of PS3 being produced, so the might have been emptying stock to introduce a slightly new model.

Well considering the Wii sold around 5 million units in North America during November and December last year, it's no surprise that they're low on system here now. Everyone has to remember that for most of 2009, Wii sales were down from 2008 by a good amount and so it's no surprise that Nintendo probably slowed down their shipments. I'd imagine even Nintendo themselves probably didn't expect the system to do as well as it did during the holiday season and so now they're having a hard time getting enough system out to stores again.

Yeah, I think I recall news articles from around that time where Nintendo said they were shutting down plants and laying people off or something like that, because of the reduced demand for the Wii. But thanks to the price drop and NSMB (and whatever other reasons) the Wii is back in demand just as much if not more than ever. The sad thing is though, shutting a plant down or opening one up isn't something that can be done at the drop of a hat, so the Wii might be plagued with shortages again for awhile.

Being in charge of production at Nintendo isn't an enviable position, because its very hard to tell how the demand for the Wii is going to be in a few months. It could be as high as it is now, or it could slack off by a huge amount. Who knows? So deciding whether or not its worth it to reactivate a manufacturing plant is a really tough call.

Yes, the game wears its God of War inspiration on its sleeve, though I'd say the sheer scale of some of the environments and enemies would make it difficult to duplicate on the Wii with an equivalent level of detail. EA could have done a low-resolution version of the game if they wanted to, though. The controls are pretty simple. More of a pressing issue is that I just don't think the game would find an audience on Wii. It's very graphic, dark, and explicit.

Like I said, I think the big reason that kept Dante off the Wii is the dark, graphic/explicit content of the game and fears that it wouldn't find an audience on the platform (notice how few M-rated games do well on Nintendo platforms. Madworld's poor sales in particular probably had a large role in this.). I don't believe there was a DS version, either, which seems to lend credence to that theory.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 14, 2010, 10:35:23 PM: I seriously doubt it was Madworlds M rating that largely contributed to it's low sales, but I understand the point you're trying to make.

Software sales are abysmal, and hardware sales aren't too hot either.

The point I'm trying to make is that 3rd parties frequently act like porting a game to Wii is either "impossible" and/or it wouldn't sell, yet they release many of these games for the PSP (Tekken 6 got a PSP port BTW, not that I'm asking for it) and the PSP sells jack in the west. And don't forget iPhone ports. Yeah, gamers love playing fighting games without buttons or a D-pad.

There's a difference between allowing total creative freedom for 3rd parties on your console and giving off a public image that you really don't give a damn how they succeed, because you're making money hand-over-fist with your own titles and console sales. Monster Hunter Tri is the only notable exception I can think of on Wii this generation.

You're theory is wrong in that it no longer applied. It applied during the Yamauchi years, but since Iwata took over Nintendo has made significant efforts to make their systems more developer friendly. Reggie himself asked Rockstar to start making M games on Nintendo hardware. That was how we were able to get Bully, GTA: CTWs, and others. These games haven't sold as well as expected, but it isn't as though Nintendo isn't trying to turn things around.

These games haven't sold as well as expected, but it isn't as though Nintendo isn't trying to turn things around.

Reggie typically says the right thing in public, I.E., love for this game or that game to be on the Wii. There is no way he initiated any contact with Rockstar to get those games on the Wii. Rockstar was testing the large Wii marketbase out to see if it could support larger scale mature games (GTA) and the trial failed.

I'm not going to spend all day refuting this because it's been beat to a pulp and third party support isn't going to change for the Wii from here on out. But here is what I grabbed in a search of Reggie and Take Two http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=193809 (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=193809) "And again, from our standpoint, if they build a bottoms-up game that takes advantage of what we do well, I'd love to see it on the platform." I.E. do it our way, with our controls and we'll be happy. Not exactly a third party endorsement. A search for Reggie and third parties yields this, http://wii.ign.com/articles/932/932052p1.html (http://wii.ign.com/articles/932/932052p1.html). I.E. we've done everything we can for third parties, it is all their fault they aren't suceeding.

We can talk whether Nintendo needs to give resources or not to third parties (since they are making so much dough and all) but a true committment to third parties would require some resources whether it be helping them with development, marketing, a break on licensing, use of certain rights ect. Nintendo does none of this, and PS/Xbox do. That's why you see GTA 4 have timed exclusives. It's not because Take Two decided they want the 360 to win the console war, it's because green backs were involved and GTA is a big enough licence that hardware developers pay for it to be on their system. And Nintendo's response is well if they do it our way, we'll allow GTA to be on the Wii. That's why the big games don't come. Not that I care about GTA 4, but I like Resident Evil and a handful of other big games that the Wii missed.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on March 15, 2010, 08:12:21 AM: Timed exclusives are a result of bribes, if that's the only way third parties will make games for the Wii that are worth a damn then they can get lost for all Nintendo cares. Helping third parties shouldn't mean stuffing money up their arse. If they want to be subsidized by console manufacturers they'll have to stay on the HD consoles, if they want to go out and grab that giant userbase they'll have to do it with their own hands. This is business, not charity!

Timed exclusives are a result of bribes, if that's the only way third parties will make games for the Wii that are worth a damn then they can get lost for all Nintendo cares. Helping third parties shouldn't mean stuffing money up their arse. If they want to be subsidized by console manufacturers they'll have to stay on the HD consoles, if they want to go out and grab that giant userbase they'll have to do it with their own hands. This is business, not charity!

But business is a two way street. Having a game on a game on Nintendo gets Nintendo tons of money through licensing, free marketing for the Wii, further third party support when the game succeeds, etc. I'm not saying Nintendo should have offered $500 million to get GTA exclusive. What I am saying is had Nintendo gave $2-3 million in value, whether it be in developer tools or whatever, to ensure that GTA 4 would have came to the Wii, they would have recouped that in spades. You can't honestly suggest that Nintendo should treat Take Two like a budget developer such as Majestco? GTA has as much brand power as anything Nintendo produces sans maybe the new Wii whatever line of titles or Mario.

Big business like Walmart, IBM, etc. require sweethart deals to do business with them. It's called capitalism, not charity and as long as the other systems are around to raise the value of a GTA, then Nintendo will have to pay or do without. I was sad they did without until I got a PS3. Now I don't care so much.

If the market leader has to bribe developers to support its system then obviously something is very wrong with the industry.

Nintendo's not really the market leader for many types of games. The tools exist for easy conversion of PS3 to X360 to PC. And in a way PS3/X360/PC have more gamers than the Wii. To create a game for the Wii, you generally have to create the engine/game etc, and then you can only keep it on the Wii. This takes alot of time and money minizing the impact of HD vs. SD.

Also, the bases aren't the same. About 50% of my co-workers own a Wii (single system owners) and they sure as heck could care less about GTA, RE5, L4D, whatever coming to the Wii. They are perfectly happy with Wii Fit, Wii sports, Game Party, etc. I'm not going to make some wild estimate of what percentage of Wii owners would be interested in GTA, RE5, L4D to come to the Wii. But I know had GTA 4 been exclusive to the Wii, there is no way that it would have trumped the sales it has now. Even if they somehow managed to make it better in every single way sans graphics which is impossible.

When the PS1 and PS2 were the definitive market leaders, you still saw Sony making deals with 3rd parties to secure exclusives and maintain good relationships with developers. Apparently, some people don't think that Nintendo needs to do the same now that it is the market leader and has created a platform that is dramatically behind the times technologically and (so far) toxic to many 3rd parties with only the PS2 and PSP compatible for multiplatform releases. Interesting.

With the PS1, they HAD to bribe third parties in order to get them to even take a chance on the system. With the PS2, they were afraid of the Xbox and GameCube (since the PS2 was the weakest system in terms of tech). Nintendo shouldn't have to bribe third parties to release games, that just seems really dirty to me. It's a different matter if a publisher approaches a console make (like what Sega Sammy is doing; they have said they want to make Shenmue III but want funding from a console manufacturer, they are promising to make it exclusive to that maker's system in return).

Also, most Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 games could easily be down-ported to the Wii by a competent developer.

The only benefit is that 3rd parties will get some experience working on Wii, possibly removing that roadblock from their next effort. If the game sells, then that might entice them to further pursue the Wii, although there is no guarantee of this.

The problem is that over the years Nintendo has created a reputation for itself of creating consoles that are hard to find an audience for, because "Nintendo gamers only buy Nintendo games." Why should 3rd parties create great games for the Wii? Sure, it's the market leader and there's a great amount of potential there, but the Blue Ocean crowd is a difficult audience to tap outside casual games so there's nearly as big a risk as developing for the expensive HD consoles. Reading various gaming forums, it often seems like Nintendo loyalists look for whatever reason they can find to not buy a 3rd party game as well, so that market's hard to attract as well. In any case, 3rd parties can be assured that whatever they do Nintendo doesn't have their back and really doesn't give a damn how well they do. When they create the game and it inevitably fails to find an audience, up until the Move launches they can't use it for any other platform without dramatic coding changes to accommodate traditional controls. Sometimes I wonder why 3rd parties even bother with the Wii. Hopefully, with Nintendo starting to take a more active role in 3rd party development with Monster Hunter Tri and (on the DS) Dragon Quest IX we'll see an upward swing of support...but I highly doubt it.

Sony had to do that because they had no consistent AAA production teams to support a system all on their own. That's how this whole money hatting thing got started in the first place.

Like a bunch of spoiled brats expecting a reward for every little remedial task that they complete, then are shocked when they get in the real world and have to actually do real work to earn any real money or get anywhere in life.

Sony and MS are trying to buy everyone's love by spoiling them, but all their doing is setting them up for disappointment should Sony or MS ever step out of this business.

And bribing won't help with any of the points you bring up. That was my original post.

Say Nintendo funds a 3rd party game.

Scenario (1) The game fails to find a market (like you said), Nintendo's out of change with nothing to show for it.

Scenario (2) The game finds modest success. Now the 3rd party's going to ask for more money to keep the franchise on Wii, or else they'll move it over to Move/Natal who'll be happy to accomodate them (because that's the game Sony/Microsoft are playing).

It would be much better for Nintendo to lend technical expertise, or to combine marketing efforts. These would be actual investments, instead of renting a franchise. This is sort of what you mention near the end, but it wasn't relevant to my original post.

After most third parties abandoned the N64 in favor of PSX, Nintendo had to basically step up their first party efforts. The lack of quality third party games (I am talking generally, I know both N64 and GameCube had a bunch of good third party games) and the safe bet that almost any game published by Nintendo will be good led to consumers not wanting to risk money on third party games on Nintendo consoles. Some publishers have started to realize thy have to do more than just a half-assed job (at one point Ubisoft actually apologized for all the shovelware they released in the Wii's first year).

I don't know that either would "fail". In scenario 1, they have started to work with the developer. In this case, it should be easier to identify why the project failed(since the project would have happened) and come to them in the future and be able to say, "Hey I know last time didn't work because of xyz, but I've got a project that's sure to work this time."

In scenario 2, we aren't seeing that at all for Sony. As mentioned priorly, PS1/PS2 started the moneyhats. But with PS3, they have been drastically in the red and I haven't heard of them giving money hats to any project this generation. Microsoft paid $50M to GTA, to have timed exclusive DLC. In the past, there is no way that Sony wouldn't have had the complete game be exclusive for that amount. And Sony got the game anyway. Is it possible that the relationship allowed it to be on a Sony console and Nintendo didn't have the relationship so they missed out?

This is I believe the exact truth. But it still doesn't make sense to me. It's like you owning a 5 star hotel in a great location that is always packed. Then President Barack calls (or his aides whatever) and says that he is coming for a speech in a month and wants a room. Then you say back, sorry President, we're booked 6 months in advance, click.

I really believe that if Nintendo tried to work with third parties they'd gain additional monies through licensing fees, advertising, additional product sales, etc. And the end consumer wouldn't feel like the Wii is an "also" console. But they don't care. And they'll be fine this generation, but now that Sony/Microsoft have caught on with the motion control and HD is essentially mandatory, I wonder if it'll hurt them next gen and push them fall back into an Gamecube position. Sony hasn't thrown around money hats but has gotten great support this gen largely because of the past relationships. Nintendo doesn't get great support as the #1, if they don't knock it out of the park at the start of the next gen, I just can't see them continuing the money creator that is the Wii.

The lack of quality third party games (I am talking generally, I know both N64 and GameCube had a bunch of good third party games) and the safe bet that almost any game published by Nintendo will be good led to consumers not wanting to risk money on third party games on Nintendo consoles. Some publishers have started to realize thy have to do more than just a half-assed job (at one point Ubisoft actually apologized for all the shovelware they released in the Wii's first year).
I disagree. Mario/Zelda/Metroid built Nintendo from the NES to SNES to the N64. Mario 64/Zelda OOT were released while N64 still had some good third party support and were close in the race with the PSX. Nintendo games have always been great and a good reason to own a Nintendo console. In fact, I'm not going to count every Nintendo game, but it seemed to me that Nintendo releases (while still great) got farther and farther apart starting with the N64 leading to fewer first party games to support the consoles themselves. Sony paying moneyhats started leading to the downfall of third party support for Nintendo. And Nintendo's striking indifference has kept them away. Third parties keep testing Nintendo consoles (largely with crap as pointed out by Ubi). But tests don't work because consumers that want the good games sit on the sidelines and wait for the good games that never come. There are several great games for the 360/PS3 and even PC that can compete with Nintendo's top line, they just choose not to release them for Nintendo consoles for various reasons.

But Nintendo released their best stuff during the NES-SNES years (imho) when they were number 1. Its just this current generation that Nintendo is forsaking its hardcore fans for casual gamers.

Post by: Mop it up on March 16, 2010, 01:44:59 AM: Their "best" stuff is subjective, I'd say. I found that to be on N64 and GameCube.
I would also argue that Nintendo has never been "hardcore" and have always been "casual," it's just that some people who grew up with Nintendo started wanting more complex games and Nintendo wasn't changing and still hasn't changed. But I don't want to go further into that because it is sure to result in a definition war.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on March 16, 2010, 03:16:59 AM: Nintendo has released excellent A+ quality games in every generation, whether they were the market leader or not. I think we can all agree on that, so I'm not sure how much effect their market share had on influencing the quality of games. Maybe it helped, maybe it hurt. Its really just a matter of opinion, but like I said every generation had at least some A+ material.

In the NES years you had the original SMB games, Zelda, Metroid, etc. In the SNES years you had Mario World, Zelda, Super Metroid, DKC, Mario Kart, Star Fox, etc. In the N64 - present there was all sorts of excellent titles as well.

But in this current Wii generation I think a lot of gamers are disappointed. The A+ titles are definitely there, but they are drowned out by the shitty casual non-gamer crap from both Nintendo themselves and the 3rd parties. The Gems are there, but they're harder to notice because of the tons of manure piled over them...

But you can't say its because of Nintendo being #1, because Nintendo was #1 in the NES and SNES years and we didn't have the casual shovelware then like we do today. So Nintendo being successful isn't the reason, imho. I just think the problem has to do with their focus.

*I'm disappointed in "gamers" who claim that making gaming a toy once again is somehow "saving gaming". I look forward to seeing just how much more gaming will be "saved" when Nintendo suddenly realizes that its saviors aren't interested in Wii 2.0 in a few years.

*Note: I actually have very few problems with motion control in general, just that we're 3 years into the Wii's life cycle and we're still at the base level of motion control: getting it to work. There's been very little attempt (outside of perhaps Silent Hill and Zack & Wiki) so far to make it add anything meaningful to the experience that we never had before, something that grows ever frustrating as time goes on.

Nintendo has been quite consistent quality wise on Wii with only a couple of missteps. Also NES and SNES had tons of crap, makes me wonder if you ever even played either of those systems much (especially NES).

Sony hasn't thrown around money hats but has gottengreat support this gen largely because of the past relationships.

Sony's "past relationship" is that they had the number 1 console last gen and the developers expected it to happen again. Pretty much all the big games started way before the consoles were even released. The only reason Sony has them is because people bet that they would win, and they were all wrong. This is why GTA4 was on ps3. Final Fantasy XIII is the perfect example since it JUST came out and it was in development before the system was released.
If these companies have a brain they will release games spread across all the platforms at the start of the next gen and then focus on the leader.

Wii Fit - turning gaming into a baby toy. Seriously, Nintendo has done more than anyone to make gaming not a toy simply with the release of this.

Including Nintendo in there is just wrong. Even throwing out the quality issue (looove Resort) this is ridiculous. Lets see... Wii Sports Resort(the original didn't even take up shelf space since it was a pack in), Wii Fit, Wii Music, Wii Play (with a remote) and ummmm... Mario Party?

They aren't even a drop in the bucket. Nintendo released 4 super casual Mario Parties on the Gamecube alone so this should be a welcome improvement to fans from the GC era since it brings in variety.

I loved the NES but

Post by: Stratos on March 16, 2010, 08:48:31 AM: A lot of us grew up with the NES and SNES. But we were young and only got a few games for the system I'll bet. Who had more that 20 games? Odds are most of them rocked or were at least enjoyable. I mostly owned Mario games and Capcom Disney games so I don't think I owned any stinkers myself even if there were a lot. I think I only owned a total of 14 SNES games and about 10 NES games at best. That;s including used games I bought later or got given to me by family years down the road. So it's quite likely our gaming lives were sheltered more. We didn't have the internet to swap horror stories of the Superman 64s and Chicken Shoots.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on March 16, 2010, 10:07:36 AM: I probably had over 20 games on each system. Some of them were crap, but most were either okay or were excellent. The thing I remember most, though, is that the games were generally very hard. Part of the reason was because I was a little stupid kid at the time, but looking back at those games now from an adult perspective I still think they were generally harder than the games of today. I don't know why, but today's 3D games seems like a piece of cake, but something like SMB Lost Levels could send someone into a nervous breakdown.

Post by: Mop it up on March 16, 2010, 07:23:55 PM: I was never really very interested in the NES or SNES, the Nintendo 64 is when I got into gaming. Most NES and Super NES games were just too simplistic, too difficult to be enjoyable, or just plain boring. But the Nintendo 64 provided games I never imagined were possible.

There are numerous reasons for that. The main one is that most games today are longer than games in the NES days. Because of limitations, most NES games were pretty short, so they were overly difficult to keep you from playing through them on your first sitting. Plus many developers were coming off of an arcade mentality, where games are designed to cause the player to lose and shove more quarters into the machine. Also, 3D games are inherently easier due to their more complex design.

Now that is interesting. Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing is selling best on Nintendo platforms - I'm guessing the prosperous Mario Kart crowd must have picked up on all the TV ads. I might get around to picking this up for Wii.

Sonic fans apparently went with Nintendo once Sega died (since for all the rivalry Nintendo is still closer to what Sega was than MS or Sony) so Sonic games always sell the most on Nintendo systems.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on March 17, 2010, 08:16:39 AM: I am not surprised, Nintendo fans ironically seem to love Sonic (going back to the big success of Sonic Advance). Also funny since Sega basically admitted that they considered the Xbox to be the successor of the Dreamcast. I remember in an old episode of Radio Free Nintendo that one of the editors (I don't remember who since it was like 8 months ago) suggested that maybe Sega should let Nintendo make a Sega game.

Great games? No. They are mostly good games that I wouldn't drop $50(CAN dollars eh?) for. The only games I always get on the first run are mainline Nintendo games, Wii Sports Resort was the only Wii series game I got on the first run (and it deserves it).

I'm taking a wait and see approach for Red Steel 2. While the developers are content it's a great game (that's always a good thing), it might just end up being over-hyped trash (hello Condiut).

RS2 is going to be the game that will either break UBI's rep with the Nintendo fanbase or make us love them again. I'm split 50/50 between the two right now.

....

it was at the very top of the post.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on March 24, 2010, 04:11:13 AM: I'd think the US numbers would be larger for the DS itself, but probably not for those three games.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on March 24, 2010, 11:55:39 AM: I love that NSMB beat the double Pokemon game and by less than a 1000 units. My guess is that will increase as the weeks go by because NSMB is still selling while D/P has been taken over by Emerald and now the remade Gold/Silver games.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on March 24, 2010, 11:59:52 AM: I was in Best Buy with the GF yesterday looking over games because we decided to get her 10-year old sis a DS Lite for her birthday and were looking at games to get. A clerk comes over and he instantly recommends New Mario Brothers. So it's no surprise the numbers are still high. I've never seen sales clerks push something like they do Wii Play before when if comes to Nintendo.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Peachylala on March 24, 2010, 01:34:23 PM: Did they push WiiPlay just for the extra remote, Stratos?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on March 24, 2010, 02:59:29 PM: They probably made more profit on WiiPlay than on a standalone wiimote.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on March 24, 2010, 06:38:13 PM: The extra 'Mote seemed to be their biggest reason but most of them have said nothing but good stuff about the games in Play. This guy just struck me as pushing it in a similar way to how Play is pushed. "Everyone get's this" seems to be a common argument they use. The funny thing is my GF was not terribly interested in Nintendogs because it didn't have 'levels' and who likes games that have no levels? She's through-and-through casual and she could totally tell the difference between the 'non-games' and 'game-games'. I just thought it was an interesting observation.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on March 29, 2010, 11:14:58 AM: Not suprising, I think everyone expected the Pokemon games to take the top two spots, and Silver outsold Gold when they released too. I don't know why whoever tracks France counts the different versions of God of War III as seperate games, they literally are the same exact game (at least the Pokemon games have exclusive content to justify being seperate).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on March 29, 2010, 12:00:35 PM: Probably because these stats are meant for businesses and those want to know how the different SKUs fared?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on March 29, 2010, 03:23:26 PM: Maybe, but NPD tracks individual SKU's and they combine the SKU's when they release their Top 20 list. Chart Track does the same thing for UK sales (they track individual SKU's, but they combine them for the public data).
Title: Just Dance Sells 2 Million

Quote
Ubisoft's Wii-exclusive music and dancing game Just Dance has sold through over 2 million units to consumers worldwide, the publisher said Wednesday.

By reaching the milestone, Ubisoft said the game is now "the fastest-selling new intellectual property from a third-party publisher on Wii." Just Dance launched in mid-November last year and sells in the U.S. for $39.99.

Looks like NSMBWii just moved up on the Super Mario Chart depending on if it's based on Famitsu or MC.

The PS3 outselling the Wii is a disturbing trend in Japan. I hope it doesn't happen in the other markets.

I believe it was only just this week, and only because of Fist of the North Star.
Whats more disturbing is that the Wii has only had 1 or 2 decent to good game released this year and it has been outselling the PS3 since last year(with the exception of this week and maybe 1 other) mostly on the back of NSMBWii.

PS3 outsold Wii last week when Yakuza 4 was realeased. I'm just curious when the Wii will get out of this software slump, they can only ride the NSMBWii train for so long.

Not until the DS version starts to show some kind of decline in sales at the very least.
talk about legs. that game has been selling for ever and ever and never once has it had a HUGE month that gave it a large portion of it's overall sales.

Tell me about it. It's first 7 weeks (I think), it outsold itself each week. I think it did have over 100,000 in sales twice during December though. But I don't think it's dipped below 30,000

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 07, 2010, 10:22:57 AM: Yes, and it bombed. Last week it was #34 on the multiformat list (the main chart, which combines the different versions of a game together rather than the chart above which lists them by platform). This week it fell off the top 40. It's still one one chart though, it's #6 on the Top 40 Full Price Wii games.

Not exactly, if positive word of mouth spreads via the people who bought the game (like us), then the game has a chance. On the other hand, Nintendo's whiny fanbase are too strung up over the (valid) fact that Ubi has given us nothing but crap these past couple of years despite a good (READ: good, not great) game here and there.

Face it, we can't win.

The decision to make a sequel was probably spurred on by the fact the original Red Steel did sell very well. It was a launch title, and back then people didn't realize the Wii was the non-gamer system that 3rd parties liked to use as a toilet. Now, that reputation is pretty firmly entrenched and people who cared about real games have moved onto other systems.

I agree the reason RS2 is failing is because of the bad rep 3rd parties have already made for themselves on the system. When they make a quality title it will get ignored, because no one expects it or is looking for it anymore.

But you shouldn't be shocked that RS2 is a quality title, because Ubisoft did specifically say they were taking their time with it and did intend to get it right. Of course, people and companies do lie, but it wasn't like they didn't try to convince us this game would be done right.

All that said, I do intend to get RS2 myself at some point, but I'm just waiting for the price to fall. I realize that means I'm part of the problem, but I'm not wealthy and don't have money to just grab games full priced at launch.

Doesn't RS2 make use of motion+? That wasn't something even available for RS1 to include at the time, so RS2 is guaranteed to be a better game just for including that because the original didn't.

Better late than never, I suppose. I'm really depressed though, because I fear this may be the last serious hardcore 3rd party Wii game the rest of this generation. By now we should be up to our waist in games like this, but it took all these years just to get one single worthwhile game and I don't think anymore are lurking out over the horizon. It is possible some will be announced at E3, but now that Sony has its own motion thing, I'm really afraid that everything is going to go to that...

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Killer_Man_Jaro on April 10, 2010, 02:03:58 AM: On the bright side, I did see two adverts for Red Steel 2 yesterday, and it showed what needed to be showed. Trouble is, I have yet to find it for a deal better than £39.99 (I could get it without MotionPlus for £29.99, but that would be pointless).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on April 10, 2010, 02:08:23 AM: Uh oh, Red Steak 2 didn't make the list. It is teh faild.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on April 10, 2010, 03:42:12 PM: I've also seen some commercials for RS2, so if the game does fail then that's a really bad thing. In the past we had games fail, but we could always say the company didn't advertise enough, or that the game was too short/incomplete, or that it was just an on-rails piece of ****. None of that is the case this time. Now we have a real litmus test on whether mature hardcore games have a place on the Wii.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on April 10, 2010, 03:56:11 PM: I saw a television commercial for MadWorld, so it was advertised too. Not sure of the extent of it, though.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 10, 2010, 04:23:32 PM: I see the Red Steel commercial all the time... or atleast I did last week.

I found it funny when they were touting the accuracy of the sword to your movements and then it was slightly off and delayed. I think they could have edited that part to reflect the game better in the commercial even if it's kinda like that in the game.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 10, 2010, 06:27:33 PM: Now that I have satellite again, I see a lot of game commercials (i've seen Red Steel commercials like 30 times in the last two weeks). Game companies don't really advertise on over the air networks that much.

NinGurl, are you talking about the UK chart or Japanese chart? The game has not been announced for Japan yet, so it wouldn't be on that chart.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on April 10, 2010, 07:11:53 PM: If this game is as good as I hear then word of mouth should also be a strong factor.

Her music is absolutely horrible, it's not even music, it's just her talking into a vocoder. Also, these days image is everything, and it's mandatory for female singers to be attractive (not my fault, that's just how marketing works), and this girl looks like a total crack whore/meth addict. But back to Wii sales...looks like Japan has just about been saturated, so now they're buying PS3s.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on April 14, 2010, 02:50:39 AM: The Japanese have fewer families than you might expect. I don't know why, but their population is declining because fewer and fewer people over there are getting married and having children. Video games and Anime probably have a lot to do with that... oh, and robots too.

According to a very reliable source, Red Steel 2 is at 110k worldwide.

As is the case with the traditional Pokemon games, both games will do well but one will sell pretty well above the other (and the original Silver outsold Gold too).

As for DSi XL sales, NPD doesn't release the breakdown to the public (they do track and report that info to paying subscribers though). It was only out for about 5 days though, the March NPD period was February 28 through April 3.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on April 16, 2010, 12:12:27 AM: Good showing for the PS3, 4 games in the top 10, including number one with more than a million units sold and one of them being a multiplatform game outselling the 360 version. I'd say God of War III may have spurred some people to finally break down and buy a PS3, but the hardware numbers aren't that good.

Didn't they say they would have the shortage issue resolved by March though? Judging by the increase in sales from last month it seems like they have this shortage problem taken care of for the most part.

The reason I don't have it yet is I didn't buy a DS until I'd been playing Mario Kart Wii for a year so I was a bit carted out, and at this point, I'd rather spend the cash on the Sega Cart.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on April 17, 2010, 06:29:47 PM: Mario Kart DS is the best game in the series. It has a great set of tracks, and fantastic multiplayer (if you can get people with DSs and copies of the game, which, given the sales figures of both, shouldn't be that hard). It is truly amazing that it can sell 100,000 units in a month nearly 5 years after its release.

Right choice, wrong reason. Both versions have Scyther.

You do get a manta ray, an elephant and a badass flying scorpion though.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 17, 2010, 08:41:55 PM: Scyther was in both versions, and was caught in the Bug Catching contest. The Gold-exclusive Pokemon were Spinarak/Ariados, Growlithe/Arcanine, Mankey/Primeape, and Gligar. The Silver-exclusive Pokemon were Ledyba/Ledian, Meowth/Persian, and Vulpix/Ninetails. Crystal was a mixture in that it had some of those but was missing others (Mareep, for example, was in both Gold and Silver but not in Crystal).

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 19, 2010, 05:46:10 PM: The game just passed the 1 million mark in the US. Somehow this game has become a huge hit, especially in the UK. It sounded like shovelware to me, then it started topping the UK saleschart every week. I like the commercials for it, which is the closest i've come to playing it.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 19, 2010, 07:03:20 PM: I hear the game is technically broken, but if you just play it, the way it's meant to be played, it just fun.

Fun games deserve good sales, so I support the existence of this game even though it doesn't appeal to me personally (I will be buying it as a gift for someone else pretty soon though). I'm actually hoping that the success of this game leads to an improved sequel using the motion camera that Ubi released with Your Shape.

Me too, as I just bought Your Shape on Amazon for $20. Being able to use it for more than just Your Shape would be awesome.

It must have had some effect, because Nintendo didn't immediately just turnaround and release a "Wii Music +" with actual Nintendo songs or "Wii Music Festival" with actual gameplay.

No it didn't, it was released around Christmas as the big system seller to keep Wii momentum up but completely failed at that, resulting in a massive drop in sales.

It may not have did as well as other games in the "Wii ..." series, but it still sold several million copies despite so called hardcore gamers bitching about it.

I think it would have had a lot more potential if it utilized some sort of musical peripheral like Guitar Hero and those type of games do. The Wiimote just doesn't cut it on its own as a musical instrument.

Its job was to maintain the Wii momentum over Christmas and beyond, it didn't. The momentum collapsed and for a long time people declared the Wii dead with nothing to play. It took until Wii Sports Resort for the momentum to swing up again.

And yet Wii sales continue being high and beating the competition easily. If you are talking about sales, I can prove that you are dead wrong. If you are talking about mindshare, that can be diffiuclt to prove either way. However, Wii sales did not suffer at all (in fact, for the first six months of 2009 the Wii outsold the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 COMBINED. Wii Music was released in the US in October 2008, here were the sales for the last three months of 2008: 803,000 in October; 2,040,000 in November; 2,150,000 in December. For 2009:
679,200 in January
753,000 in February
601,000 in March
340,000 in April
289,500 in May
361,700 in June

The CLOSEST that either the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 came was in May when the Xbox 360 was only 114.5K behind (at 175K).

So how do you figure that the game failed to maintain momentum for the system? Outselling the competition by more than 2:1 and selling more than 3 million systems (compared to 1.6 million for Xbox 360 and 1.1 million for PlayStation 3) in the first half of the year is pretty damn strong.

Wouldn't you need to look at what software was selling during those months to determine what software was "maintaining" Wii hardware sales during all the months you just listed?

Did WiiMusic chart during any of those months?

Yeah, if I remember correctly, the Wii games that were really charting at the time were Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit, so those were the ones keeping the consoles selling. I don't remember Wii Music ever hitting Top 10 NPD outside of maybe one month.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 22, 2010, 01:22:56 PM: It doesn't change my point though, kdr tries to imply that Wii Music hurt or didn't help the Wii. The sales numbers show that the Wii did not suffer at all after the release of the game.

While it is true the game was only in the top 10 once, the fact that it still sold millions means that it was one of those games that sells consistently over a long time and those numbers add up.

That's another good point. You gotta compare the YoY sales lined up with the months that WiiMusic was supposedly "maintaining" Wii sales to see if your point was still valid.

Yeah it did sell millions. I think it was a disappointment to Miyamoto because it didn't sell as much as typical Nintendo games. While 2 million would have 3rd parties jumping up and down for Nintendo it would be a disappointment. Nintendo job as a hardware maker is to make compelling software and keep the momentum going so that 3rd parties can jump on the platform without much risk. Same type of thing happened on the NES. I think it was 1989 when excellent games that we today define as classics came out that were 3rd party.

Post by: TJ Spyke on April 22, 2010, 09:07:19 PM: I think Miyamoto was expecting it to sell 10 million+ like the other games in the series, that's why he was disappointed (IIRC, he was also disappointed in critical reception of the game).

For hardware comparisons (the game came out in October 2008):
October 2007- 519K, 2008- 803K, 2009- 506.9K
November 2007- 981K, 2008- 2.04 million, 2009- 1.26 million
December 2007- 1.35 million, 2008- 2.15 million, 2009- 3.81 million
January 2008- 274K, 2009- 678.2K, 2010- 465.8K
February 2008- 432K, 2009- 753K, 2010- 613.2K

Need I go on? Wii sales were up YoY for the months after the release of Wii Music.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 22, 2010, 09:52:40 PM: Sales would have been up during those months whether WiiMusic was released or not.

now compare those sales to what Wii games were in the Top 10 at the time. I bet WiiMusic wasn't in it, therefore WiiMusic was irrelevant to the Wii's maintained sales numbers.

You can't assume that. It may be your opinion, but it's not a fact.

I can assume that since sales were like that the year before and the year after. It's the holiday season and sales are always up, especially for the Wii.

WiiMusic was not a significant title in any way, shape or form. Wii had record sales before it, despite it and after it. You still haven't proved that WiiMusic had any effect on Wii sales as all you're posting are hardware numbers for the holiday season. We know Wii sold well in the holiday months, what you were trying to prove is that WiiMusic was the reason for that. You haven't done that, and I pretty sure that you can't.

edit: And look at those Japanese hardware sales. That is why I think Japan is getting 3DS first if there isn't a simultaneous WW launch. ~120k sold a month is about 1/5 what it is selling in the US and EUR is probably not too far behind that.

Well New Super Mario Bros Wii is selling steadily. 2D Mario tends to sell well in Japan whereas 3D doesn't for some reason. It is interesting that the port of the First No More Heroes sold that much. I guess we can wait till next week to see if it is still selling.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 23, 2010, 01:23:14 PM: I present evidence supporting me, and you ignore it. Sales of the Wii were up significantly for 0ver 6 months after Wii Music came out. For the month the game was released, Wii sales were up 54% YOY, November was 107.9%, December was 59.2%, etc.

I am not saying Wii Music was the main reason, but the facts show that sales of the Wii were up SIGNIFICANTLY year over year when the game was released. You have not shown that the game didn't help, I showed that the system had jumped up in sales compared to the same month a year before that.

As for 3DS, what does that prove? Game Boy Advance hardware sales were almost dead in Japan by late 2004, but Nintendo launched the DS in North America first (despite GBA sales still being strong here). I could see Nintendo doing the same thing they did with the last 2 system launches and do North America first and then Japan and PAL regions within the next month.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 23, 2010, 01:56:15 PM: You said WiiMusic was "maintaining" Wii sales in the HOLIDAY months yet don't show any WiiMusic sales numbers. Wii is gonna sell during the HOLIDAY months the same with or without WiiMusic just as it had the 2 HOLIDAY seasons before it and it will the 2 HOLIDAY seasons after it.

You've provided nothing that supports your argument of WiiMusic having anything to do with it.

I could say that LBP has been maintaining PS3 sales, and then provide PS3 sales numbers showing how well PS3 has been selling then in comparison to how it was selling before that, but that doesn't mean that LBP had any thing to do with it.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 23, 2010, 03:20:00 PM: Please try READING my post. Did I say Wii wasn't gonna sell well in holidays? NO. I sales of Wii during holiday 2008 were more than 2007. The Wii sold 107.9% MORE in November 2008 than it did in November 2007. The Wii sold 59.2% more in December 2008 than it did in December 2007. I don't know if I can make it more simpler than that, maybe you just don't understand sales growth.

Also, it would be batshit insane to say that LittleBigPlanet HELPED the PlayStation 3. Although PS3 sales in October 2008 were up 57% compared to 2007, in November it was down 18.8%, December was down 8.97%, January down 24.4%, etc. If anything, LittleBigPlanet had no positive impact.

I have data to back up me, you have your personal opinion only. You also seem to not understand the numbers as you make odd statements.

Its job was to maintain the Wii momentum over Christmas and beyond, it didn't. The momentum collapsed and for a long time people declared the Wii dead with nothing to play. It took until Wii Sports Resort for the momentum to swing up again.

And yet Wii sales continue being high and beating the competition easily. If you are talking about sales, I can prove that you are dead wrong. If you are talking about mindshare, that can be diffiuclt to prove either way. However, Wii sales did not suffer at all (in fact, for the first six months of 2009 the Wii outsold the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 COMBINED. Wii Music was released in the US in October 2008, here were the sales for the last three months of 2008: 803,000 in October; 2,040,000 in November; 2,150,000 in December. For 2009:
679,200 in January
753,000 in February
601,000 in March
340,000 in April
289,500 in May
361,700 in June

The CLOSEST that either the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 came was in May when the Xbox 360 was only 114.5K behind (at 175K).

So how do you figure that the game failed to maintain momentum for the system? Outselling the competition by more than 2:1 and selling more than 3 million systems (compared to 1.6 million for Xbox 360 and 1.1 million for PlayStation 3) in the first half of the year is pretty damn strong.

Here you are arguing that WiiMusic "maintained" momentum for the Wii.
That is like arguing that LBP boosted sales for the PS3, I know it's crazy right.

They both made no difference to the sales of the systems as neither of them were system sellers.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 23, 2010, 03:26:40 PM: I showed how sales of Wii with Wii Music were significantly higher than the same period the year before.

I then showed how PlayStation 3's already low sales went DOWN after the release of LittleBigPlanet.

You are free to have your opinion, but you have yet to provide any actual evidence to back up any of your claims. I have.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 23, 2010, 03:30:16 PM: No. You showed how Wii sales were up despite WiiMusic, you never showed the sales of WiiMusic during that time period, so why would we come to the conclusion that WiiMusic had any effect on Wii sales?

there is a way to prove your point and a way to dance around it. I'm guessing your ballerina shoes are starting to wear thin.

You have yet to show how WiiMusic had any effect on Wii sales. I don't know how to make it any more simpler than that.... maybe you just don't understand period.

edit:
but the truth is, I don't give a ****, so you can keep tap dancing around the actual point you were "trying" to make with someone else.

edit2: I'm not even saying that you are wrong, I'm saying that you are not providing the evidence to make your point.
(Wii sold 4 million systems Xmas2009, did WiiMusic have something to do with that?)

I'm actually surprised to see the No More Heroes port sell just about the same on both 360 and PS3, given the install base of the 360 in Japan.

The 360 version actually got a CERO Z rating, too (the PS3 version got SERO C). The 360 version is uncensored so that may have had something to do with it.

But I'm not ignoring any facts since you didn't post any pertaining to the point you were making.... that WiiMusic or whatever it's called was the reason Wii sales were up YOY. It's the fuckin HOLIDAY season, sales are always up around that time of the year. Wii music sold better during those months than it would have another month of any other year since it was the holiday shopping season.

I'm not even saying that WiiMusic had no effect at all, I;m saying that you didn't show that it did have an effect since you never posted any sales numbers for WiiMusic itself. I'm not arguing whether you are right or wrong, I'm arguing that you are not making your point since you are dancing around the central issue of 'is WiiMusic "maintaining" Wii sales during X months of X year' by simply posting Wii hardware sales numbers. We all know Wii sales are ASTRONOMICAL during the holiday season and it has been that way since launch.
posting them over and over again isn't gonna make your point for you.

I don't see why that is so hard for you to understand.

Are you sure it was a Z? Usually D is for extreme violence, Z is for porn.

I was about to say you can think what you want. I am sick of arguing with you since ignore facts. I never claimed the game was the only reason for Wii jumping up in sales (you can't even get the name of the game right BTW). It's just plain moronic to imply that the game hurt the Wii or failed to help "maintain" sales considering it had a huge spike in sales after the games release.

But I'm not ignoring any facts since you didn't post any pertaining to the point you were making.... that WiiMusic or whatever it's called was the reason Wii sales were up YOY. It's the ****in HOLIDAY season, sales are always up around that time of the year. Wii music sold better during those months than it would have another month of any other year since it was the holiday shopping season.

I'm not even saying that WiiMusic had no effect at all, I;m saying that you didn't show that it did have an effect since you never posted any sales numbers for WiiMusic itself. I'm not arguing whether you are right or wrong, I'm arguing that you are not making your point since you are dancing around the central issue of 'is WiiMusic "maintaining" Wii sales during X months of X year' by simply posting Wii hardware sales numbers. We all know Wii sales are ASTRONOMICAL during the holiday season and it has been that way since launch.
posting them over and over again isn't gonna make your point for you.

I don't see why that is so hard for you to understand.

You are beyond hope. You don't seem to understand even the basic points I make.

Unlike North America (where none of the console manufacturs allow AO rated games, and most retailers won't carry them), the Japanese equivalent is Z and is used fairly often. Some previous Xbox 360 games that have gotten this rating include Vampire Rain, Dead Rising, Gears of War, and Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 24, 2010, 01:00:15 PM: Dude. you are beyond dense. I understand what you are saying. I understand the point you are trying to make. I'm trying to tell you that you aren't forming it completely. But if you think you've made your point, then I'll let it stand the way it is. I wasn't arguing your point with you (I'm not sure how many times I've said that), I'm not debating the numbers with you, I just saying that you never actually proved your point.... you focused on something else that may or may not have been related.

Jus tto put this to rest, I'll summarize what ou've done since you seem to make poor arguments in other threads too, nobody calls you on it since no one really cares.
(for the record, I don't really care either, I was just pointing it out to you, but you decided to get a little crass, so now I make it a point to help you understand... doesn't help that I was having a bad day yesterday)

You say WiiMusic "maintains" Wii Sales during the Holiday period of '08-'09
Someone else says it didn't
You post Wii hardware sales to somehow prove that WiiMusic boosted or helped Wii sales in some way (during the Xmas shopping season)
I point out that Wii hardware numbers doesn't show how WiiMusic helped "maintain" sales
you point to Wii hardware sales again.
I suggest you show some WiiMusic sales numbers to go along with your Wii HW#'s to back your claim
you continue pointing to Wii HW #'s as if that somehow proves that WiiMusic was pushing Wii HW.
rinse wash repeat and here we are.
where in there did you make a basic point? please explain to me what I am apparently missing because I am still not seeing WiiMusic numbers that show how WiiMusic was propping up Wii HW sales during the Xmas Holiday Shopping season.

tl;dr version

TJSpyke:
Point - WiiMusic helped Wii Sales during Xmas shopping season '08-'09

Proof needed - WiiMusic numbers that show it's significance during said shopping season

Proof provided - Wii Hardware numbers from Oct. 08 - whenever in '09

In other words, you have not made your point

Edit: If there was information showing how Wii Music sales paralleled System sales in the same time period, we could begin to concur. But NOPE.

Post by: Stratos on April 24, 2010, 05:28:59 PM: How much did Wii Music sell? I've het to hear for sure if it was a commercial flop or a success. Just that it was a flop with the critics.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on April 24, 2010, 05:34:37 PM: According to Wikipedia, which cites an official Nintendo document, Wii Music has sold 2.65 million copies as of May 2009.
Digging deeper, it seems it sold 92,000 copies in its first week in Japan, and 66,000 in North America. Not bad, but low for a Nintendo release.

This game was never going to sell as many copies as the other Wii series because it doesn't have the same wide appeal.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on April 29, 2010, 11:18:54 AM: It will be cool if NMH DS sells more after all is said and done than its HD counterpart.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 29, 2010, 11:36:20 AM: Wow, the HD port sank pretty quickly. The PS3 version dropped from 7th to 29th and the 360 version dropped from 8th to out of the top 30.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on April 29, 2010, 12:23:27 PM: Maybe the failure of the HD version will convince Suda51 to keep the franchise on the Wii where it belongs. That's what I'm hoping.

Not that the Wii versions were really huge sellers either, but at least the cost of developing on the Wii is much less so games like this make more sense for it.

Not to mention that the #11 spot is <12k which would lead me to believe that the #29 spot is probably <5k based on the fact that even the #1 spot is only 60k.

Looks like a very slow week, but I hear Golden week is this week, so most people are probably holding off till then.

Pretty sure it wasn't Suda's idea to port the game in the first place. Grasshopper wasn't involved with these ports. Marvelous needs money badly, so they're just flailing around, trying anything they can to stay afloat.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on May 04, 2010, 02:12:34 PM: I have no idea.

I just gave the copy I bought away for a b-day present.
Girl popped it in for 10 minutes but didn't really try to play it.

I'd imagine that if she had someone else that wanted to play, it would be quite funny to watch people try to dance with the game. There is no real way for the game to know if you're doing it right, but I'm sure it can get competitive when you chase the high score or when other players call you out for not doing it right.

bottom line; It looks like it could be lots of fun if you actually try to enjoy it.

I told him to take it back right away and wait until Sunday for the bundle. He called Wall Mart, and they said yeah bring it back. For some reason he called again and a different guy said no they wont take it back.

Please tell me he is able to get is money back for now!

This is true. Just say you wanted the black wii instead. Even if he doesn't get the black one, I believe the white one will be bundled the same way starting Sunday as well.

NSMB Wii and Wii Fit Plus also had fairly substantial jumps. It's probably just related to Golden Week.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 07, 2010, 06:36:21 PM: There are usually very few new releases during Golden Week, so people are more likely to go and buy a older game that they hadn't bought yet. Although in this instance I just chalk it up to people having the week off and wanting more games.

Did you not read the part about it having the most successful launch of any Monster Hunter game in North America? Which actually shows that Wii games will sell if given good marketing. Even though 126k isn't all that great when compared to other series, it's still a huge improvement over the previous Monster Hunter games released in North America.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on May 14, 2010, 06:24:29 AM: Yes but it sells well for a Monster Hunter game. The way Nintendo was pushing it you'd think they were going for million+ sales. People also act like you can make anything into a million seller with enough advertising and that the Wii ________ games only sell because of that.

Post by: noname2200 on May 14, 2010, 12:30:26 PM: I'm with KDR here; while that's a great number for a Monster Hunter game, this was supposed to be the breakout Western title, what with Nintendo's assistance with the marketing and all. It may end up showing decent legs (and to be fair it did better than I was expecting), but I'm sure Capcom was holding out for more.

It released on the 20th of April which means it sold that amount in ten days, that's a good number for any third-party Wii game, especially one in a series that never performed well here before.

Never fear! Monster Hunter is the Madden franchise of the rising sun. Every year like clockwork they release a small incremental upgrade with new quests/monsterd/armor/weapons. I DO, however, think that Capcom might start charging for use of their online servers. (It's where they get most of their money in Japan... kind of like WoW.)
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on May 15, 2010, 09:55:05 AM: I don't think they'll charge money here before it turns into a big phenomenon, currently they'd have a very hard time justifying the fees to people here especially since the west uses PCs a lot more and has access to proper MMORPGs.

They'd have to offer a major improvement on the game for me to have interest in a sequel, and given the incremental changes throughout the series, I highly doubt that will happen.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on May 16, 2010, 05:16:26 AM: Maybe their open connection with Nintendo about the game will pave the way for Nintendo to advise them or even lend a team to assist in sequel development. I get excited thinking about what Retro could do just graphically with the series.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on May 16, 2010, 04:34:15 PM: Nintendo only assisted with marketing in North America, I don't think that minimal involvement will lead to any kind of development partnership. Especially considering the game was originally going to be for the PS3, and will likely get ported to the PSP and PS2 (I'm surprised it hasn't already). Capcom doesn't want the series to be tied into a Nintendo system exclusively.

This and the Japanese only Wii port of Monster Hunter G are the first times a Nintendo system has the series. Monster Hunter Tri is also easily beating the PS2 ones in sales numbers, so Capcom could very easily stick with Nintendo consoles for series. I also don't see a PS2 version happening as the system is pretty much dead in Japan (even the best selling game only sold 299K copies in 2009).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on May 16, 2010, 05:26:59 PM: I'm just thinking that since there is a dialogue in place about the game it could evolve into something more.

They could decide to make a Nintendo dedicated MH series and other series for other systems. I'd even be happy to just get ports of future games. There is now a fanbase for the games. I used to be mad that we didn't get MH-G here but now I'm understanding as to why.

They have a pretty sweet engine on Wii now. Don't see why they couldn't use it.

No. Someone else did. Multiple times. And they took twice as long to do it as it should have taken.

Post by: Louieturkey on May 18, 2010, 01:16:54 AM: FYI, they have announced a Monster Hunter Portable 3. Supposedly it is not a port of Tri. But that could easily mean they are slightly modifying what Tri is to make it better for portable systems. I keep hoping they'd port the game to the DS. Maybe the 3DS will have a better shot with the better processor and everything.

Well then, it'll still sell three times as many copies as Tri in Japan at least. Again, I'd love to see a port of the game on the DSi or 3DS if they want.

Post by: Stratos on May 18, 2010, 01:47:51 AM: MH on DS would be pretty cool. would be interesting if there was some connectivity between Wii and DS with the game. Maybe use the DS as a mobile Hunter Book/Pokedex like thing so you didn't have to open up a main screen menu and hinder actual play while looking at it.

You could even do something where a second player could control Cha-Cha on the DS to help you out.

Especially considering the game was originally going to be for the PS3, and will likely get ported to the PSP and PS2 (I'm surprised it hasn't already).

It's probably not going to the PS2, but I believe the PSP version was announced before the western release.

No ZR/ZL buttons on the PSP.

Yeah but the PSP MH3 cuts the underwater stuff and I wouldn't besurprised if that's because of no ZR/ZL.

Maybe, but two of the three control schemes don't use those buttons at all.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on May 20, 2010, 10:16:50 PM: I don't think that's the reason. They could have used some kind of button combo to dodge up/down in water, or just leave it out. It isn't a necessary feature.
I think they just wanted to make a cheap game because it is a portable game.

That exact reason. Why put in more effort than you have to when you know your game will sell on name alone?

True, but this is the same company that has (repeatedly) churned out Mega Man games three different times from three different series, thus burning all of them out. Street Fighter once received similar treatment, and I'm sure plenty others have as well.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Toruresu on May 21, 2010, 01:48:49 PM: Well, ZR and ZL don't really dodge up or down, but make you swim directly up or swim directly down.

Exactly. I've heard that Monster Hunter Tri is actually the seventh game released in the series, and there isn't much different between any of the versions. I'd guess they aren't going to put much effort into the games until they absolutely have to, when sales slow.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on June 04, 2010, 05:55:10 PM: Nintendo better start doing something to boost sales of the Wii. Its still being outsold by the PS3 even with SMG2 out! We were told to wait until SMG2 comes out because then Wii sales will improve. Well, the game is out but the PS3 is still outselling it. So this is bad.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Guitar Smasher on June 04, 2010, 06:12:46 PM: Since when was SMG2 supposed to sell consoles? One could argue that it's not much more than an expansion pack in terms of how it differs from the original (but it's still one of the best games ever made). So how is it supposed to bring in new Wii gamers, when the original already served this function?

Also when you look at the numbers, Wii and PS3 pretty much tied. So either both are doing well, or both are doing poorly. Given Wii's already large install base, I wouldn't call the situation bad unless gamers start throwing away their Wiis.

Step One: Find out which person(s) told you this.

Step Two: Never listen to that person(s) again.

Step Three: Success!

This is true. SMG2 was never supposed to see consoles no matter how much Nintendo hoped for it. NSMBWii was supposed to sell conoles and it did a pretty decent job I think. 2D Mario is what Japan wants.

Considering that NSMB DS and NSMBWii is still selling bucketloads, that is very possible.

Or Nintendo is going to use the money towards something either the fanbase will bitch about or call it the next coming of Jesus.

Maybe Nintendo should create a Mario Dating Sim game set in the Mushroom Kingdom, and featuring all the Nintendo characters we know and love... just like Super Smash Bros. except its dating instead of fighting.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 11, 2010, 01:43:56 PM: My guess is that they combine it with the next Animal crossing and/or that it becomes the GUI for the 3DS/Wii2.

It already sounds like an Online Social Site, might as well make it the center of Nintendo Online and system interaction.

The ordering on this list is really weird, considering the sales numbers.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 11, 2010, 01:52:58 PM: It's ranked by sales in 2010 and in parenthesis is the WorldWide totals for the games in question.

NSMBW probably sold 8 million in 2010 (but sold a total of 14.7million copies world wide)
MW2 probably sold 6.5 million in 2010 (but sold a total of 14 million copies World Wide)

It has to get through Reggie first ~~though IMHO I pretty much agree with everyone that it could be like a Flipnote Studio for the 3DS~~.

There are Facebook Apps on iTunes that cost money. I don't know how well they sell, but they exist.

Post by: TJ Spyke on June 19, 2010, 05:46:55 PM: That doesn't matter though, the DS was the top selling system for the week (as usual). The PSP was not the top selling system.

Nice that Xenoblade was #1, although it was a rather slow weak with the #10 game only selling 12K.

A lot of those "upgraders" will be trading in their old unit, selling it, or letting a relative have/play it.

And with the PSP (and, admittedly, to a smaller extent the DS), a lot of those buyers won't be picking up any PSP games. That doesn't expand the userbase. ;)

Does anyone have numbers for the tie-in ratio for DS (all versions) and PSP (all versions)?

Can you get the German Media Create list? The platform-specific lists that stores here put up have Monster Hunter 3 at #2 for the Wii, I want to see how that compares to the other platforms.

Why not? First week sales of Super Mario Galaxy 2 are more than twice as much as Super Mario 64, and it hasn't even seen a holiday season yet. It's an uphill battle, but it has a possibility of topping it.

The reason I doubt it is because SM64 was the only Mario game the N64 had, and that was a launch title at that. SMG came out about a year or so after the Wii was launched, if I'm not mistaken, and now SMG2 is out. Now that SMG2 is out, sales for SMG1 are now pretty much done for. They will still go up, yes, but it will now be at a much slower rate because everyone is more interested in the new and better version that was just released. Similarly, I think that before SMG2 can overtake SM64 we will be hearing about SMG3, or perhaps the Wii 2 will be out with some bigger and badder Mario game ready to be released at launch.

So for those reasons I just don't think SM64's record is going to be beaten this generation. True, the Wii's installed base is much larger than the N64's was, but remember that the N64 only had one big Mario game and this was THE game to own if you have a N64. The Wii has Wii Sports and a dozen other casual games as its main games, that's mainly because those were the game available at Launch.

That's really disappointing for Split/Second, because that game is pretty awesome.

To be frank, it was pretty foolish to release all these racers at the same time (with Modnation being the only slightly successful one at number 15). Not sure what they were expecting, especially doing so in a normally slow month like May.

Post by: TJ Spyke on July 02, 2010, 03:18:03 PM: To Rachtman,

I haven't played the game, but it has gotten great reviews. Sure beats the dating sims that typically show up in the Media Create top 10. I can't believe something like Red Dead Redemption got the top 2 spots, MAYBE barely making it to the top 10 is what should have happened.

I'm not so sure: NPD is pretty open about how it hates to give out even table scraps for free (see: anything from D. Reilly), and I'm fairly certain that the only reason we get even the Top 5 is to slow down the massive leaks that had occurred before they started giving out the Top 10. I think they'd be indifferent to having their freebies get overlooked for a month.

Yes, because we all believe that excuse.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Arbok on July 09, 2010, 12:17:21 PM: Nice to see Super Mario Galaxy still on top in the UK.

...also, can't believe Dance On Broadway is already out. Way too soon, since Just Dance is still tearing up the charts.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Caterkiller on July 10, 2010, 03:41:31 PM: I found that just dance to be actually kind of fun, though I doub't the game really could tell where my remote was going without a motion plus.

I hope Metroid other M does better than Prime games when it comes out, it has to by default right? Huge user base, and mostly 3rd person? Speaking of which you guys need to go to the Other M thread and look at the behind the scenes video I posted of the game! No one seems to care and it is awesome!
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 10, 2010, 03:44:40 PM: I don't want it to do better because everything we have seen so far tells me that it will be a worse game than any of the Prime games. It could end up surprising me, but I don't think it will even be a good game.

One would think, but the Metroid Prime Trilogy sold pretty poorly. Metroid has never been as popular as most other Nintendo franchises, and having two on Wii already might be enough for everyone. Plus, I thought first-person games had more appeal than third-person, and Other M looks kind of weird anyway.

So, given the popularity of the series, the strange title, and weird gameplay, I don't think it will sell more than Prime 3 (1.5 million?). But I can still hope!
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 10, 2010, 05:16:55 PM: The Metroid Prime series did not sell poorly, at all. The first one sold 2 million copies, the third one sold 1.31 million. That is pretty damn good.

There hasn't been two actual games. There has been one new game on the Wii (Metroid Prime 3: Corruption). The other three were ports (Metroid Prime Trilogy and the Japanese-only New Play Control! Metroid Prime and New Play Control! Metroid Prime 2: Echoes). The only region I think Metroid: Other M could do better in is Japan.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on July 10, 2010, 05:44:04 PM: I didn't say the Metrod Prime series sold poorly, I said the Metroid Prime Trilogy on the Wii sold poorly.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 10, 2010, 06:37:28 PM: I thought you were talking about the trilogy, not the game. You have to remember that it was also only a limited-printing, they didn't even make that many copies.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on July 10, 2010, 07:19:10 PM: Now that you mention it, I do recall hearing something about a limited production run, but I thought that was for the special edition. Was it planned to have a limited run, like, before release, or was it discontinued due to low sales like ExciteBots? Either way, I remember stores were marking it down not long after it released to get rid of unsold stock.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 10, 2010, 07:27:17 PM: There was no regular edition, in this case every copy was marked as "Collector's Edition". I think RFN even speculated that the reason they did this was so people wouldn't be surprised that it had a limited run. Would it eventually have had a regular run? I don't know.

Actually, for a core Nintendo franchise sales for the Prime series were pretty bad. Plus you just pointed out how the original MP sold 2 million, yet MP3 sold 1.3 million, so its pretty disappointing because it means the series went into a decline. Had MP3 sold 3 or more millions then it would have had some growth over the previous incarnations, but it actually shrunk. So that's not very good results.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on July 11, 2010, 02:26:26 AM: I'm glad that Prime 1 sold more than Prime 3 because Prime 3 was slipping away from the Metroid fundamentals and adding too much story and guidance and a segmented world (plus the items were pretty lame). It was a decent game but not up to Prime 1's standard.

Wow, nice way to completely fail at basic logic. Yes, Prime 3 sold less then Prime 1, but what comes between 1 and 3. Oh yeah, a 2, a f*cking 2 which is what all of you Metroid Prime 3 complainers always forget about. In reality, Metroid Prime 3 sold better then Prime 2 which means Prime 3 actually helped grow the series again.

Not to mention Prime 3 is the 4th best selling Metroid game behind only Prime 1, Metroid 1 and Metroid 2. So I'd imagine Nintendo is quite pleased with it's numbers since it did better then most of the other Metroid games including Super Metroid which is still regarded as the holy grail by Metroid fanboys.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on July 11, 2010, 05:42:41 AM: I think everybody forgets about Echoes for the same reason it sold so little: Nobody really cared when it came out.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on July 11, 2010, 12:26:08 PM: Echoes is actually the only one I never played, but I have Metroid Trilogy so I have it and will try it one of these days. I guess one of the reasons no one cared is because it came out so soon after MP1.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Caterkiller on July 11, 2010, 01:10:21 PM: Echoes is the only one I did not play a second time. But I remember the bosses being so much cooler than part 1 and 3. Also there is an awesome behind the scenes look at the folkd creating Other M in the Other M thread. There is new footage and everything! Someone look at it!

I don't know if I would consider Just Dance and Dance on Broadway to be part of the same series. Same genre, yes; same series, maybe. Regardless, Just Dance 2 is coming out in October.

Do they play the same? That's an honest question as I don't know due to the fact that there are zero reviews out there for this game (like none). I assumed they did, and saw Dance on Broadway to be a spin off of the series in the way that the band exclusive Guitar Hero/Rock Band releases are.

Wow, 8 more PS3 games in the top 100 than the Wii.

Not too surprising: over the past two years the PS3 has seen more major releases in Japan than the Wii. The fact that the Wii is still (narrowly) beating the PS3 in hardware sales is probably exclusively due to Nintendo's own products, but they don't put out enough of those to rival all the third-parties combined. There's a reason why Iwata's getting on the "We <3 third-parties" bandwagon.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on July 15, 2010, 05:01:27 AM: The PS3 may have more titles in the Top 100, but I wager the Wii has sold more games over all. Its not the quantity of titles that matters so much as the amount of sales the titles get. That said, most of those PS3 games could have their sales totals combined together and would get beat out by New Super Mario Bros. The Wii has fewer titles, yes, but the titles it does have tend to be multi-million sellers.

I disagree. Nintendo alone simply can not build and maintain momentum for two separate hardware platforms and two digital platforms all on its own, and it shows. Leaving aside the matter that Nintendo's smaller in size than some third-parties, there's also the fact that Nintendo is simply not geared towards making some games which appeal to large segments of the population, so it's best for them to court third-parties to fill in both of these weaknesses. There's zero point in cutting off one's nose to spite one's face.

Looks like Super Mario Galaxy 2 is now over a million. If it keeps at this pace for six months, it will pass up the first game's total in North America.

I know you are kidding, but the last time the Xbox 360 outsold Wii was in February 2010. It's still pretty rare though as this has only happened 8 times in the 44 months the Wii has been out. I have no doubt that a large number of those Xbox 360's sold were people buying the new slim model.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: noname2200 on July 16, 2010, 01:21:05 AM: I suspect it has more to do with the clearance prices on the older models: shaving off that much money from a console makes it quite attractive.

I actually think you're right, but you can probably find it for $99 in some places.

I hear all non SLim models are being bundles with 2 extra items(Game+Game, Game+HDMI Cable or Game + Extra Controller).
That's a pretty big incentive for someone who was already on the fence and waiting for a price drop.

I bet Kytim picked up 1 or 2 of them.

I'm also impressed at how Just Dance is maintaining its sales figures month-to-month, although I'm sure those will die once the too-early too-samey sequel is released. On the other hand, didn't they already release that Dance on Broadway game?

The Arcade model has been like that for a long time. The Spring 2010 Arcade bundle comes with Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts and Viva Pinata, I haven't heard anything about the Pro model being bundled with anything though.

By the way, I've got to hand it to Red Dead Redemption for sticking to the top of the sales chart like that: it's not often that a non-Nintendo game doesn't experience a dramatic decrease in sales after its first month.

And they were rewarded with indefinite unpaid vacation time!!

It's still the smallest debut for a Wii ___ title, though. On the other hand, it was stealth-released, and it's hard to say with a straight face that it was intended to have the same impact as the other Wii ___ games.

Also, I'm pleased to see Harvest Moon had a good debut, and quite surprised to hear that White Knight's budget release did so well: I didn't think the first game was well received in Japan.

Really? Have you seen how well the other games in the Wii series have done in Japan? I would have been shocked if it wasn't #1.

Black, said to see them lose their jobs but this is not totally unexpected. Developers typically release workers when they finish a big project since they don't need all of those employees anymore. Developers will usually hire new employees when they begin a project and lay them off once the project is complete. People should not act like T2 is doing anything wrong or bad here.

While I understand what you're getting at, and I agree to the extent you're going for, I do feel compelled to say that this model isn't universally adopted, and that it strikes me as being inefficient and self-defeating in the long run. But then again no one ever accused Take-Two of being wise or efficient!
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 16, 2010, 12:32:20 PM: But it does save money. Why keep paying employees every week to basically sit around and do nothing? In between big projects you simply don't need as many employees, and a public company like Take-Two has to listen to their stockholders and try to explain why they have employees who have nothing to do and are just draining resources.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: noname2200 on July 16, 2010, 01:07:42 PM: I disagree; not only are you regularly dispensing of your trained and experienced employees this way, but you're also regularly incurring the expense of recruiting new employees a few weeks later when you start your next project, as well as the expense of training those new and employees bringing them up to speed on your company. It's like firing most of your wide receivers for a game because you intend to run the ball that Sunday, and then hoping some of them come back the week after.

What they should be doing is either cross-training the employees so that they're useful in more positions, better managing their production schedule to minimize downtime, and/or outsourcing any purely-temporary jobs to outside companies. A company as large as Take-Two is always going to have multiple projects going on, big and small, so there should always be enough work to go around without this constant cycle of laying off a worker only to replace him with an inexperienced employee a short way down the road.

Moreover, the shareholders of any major company are not going to look for, let alone care about, one or two dozen employees being relatively idle for a few weeks. They already look the other way at the gross mismanagement that the company has experienced for years now, and in the unlikely event that this is ever brought up that shareholder would be guilty of being penny-wise and pound-foolish.

I disagree, I think this is more like hiring and firing people from the practice squad. You hire them and you and them know that it is just temporary. As for hiring them back in a few weeks, it's more like a few months (which for 40 employees would be over $50,000 a month they would be spending to keep excess employees around) since they usually only hire extra employees for major projects that need more employees.

There's a reason why Iwata's getting on the "We <3 third-parties" bandwagon.
And there is absolutely no reason for him to do it. It's like he's a father trying to get a kid (third parties) to behave with a lollipop (money hats).

I disagree. Nintendo alone simply can not build and maintain momentum for two separate hardware platforms and two digital platforms all on its own, and it shows. Leaving aside the matter that Nintendo's smaller in size than some third-parties, there's also the fact that Nintendo is simply not geared towards making some games which appeal to large segments of the population, so it's best for them to court third-parties to fill in both of these weaknesses. There's zero point in cutting off one's nose to spite one's face.

But there is a point in cutting off a cyst, or some other abnormal growth on one's face. Which may be how Nintendo (quite rightly, in some cases) perceives third parties.

Yeah, I think they have a good case on how third parties treat them. ~~only difference is that they have moneyhats, third parties are so-so in that area.~~

My GameCube collection is just about half and half. It is the case for me with the Wii, but to be fair, the only third-party game I purchased at full price was Monster Hunter Tri. I'm much more willing to pay full for most Nintendo titles.

My N64 collection is dominated by third-party releases but that's only because they've collectively published a lot more titles than Nintendo did.

You also have to remember that Nintendo only reported systems sold and Sony always reported systems shipped.
Shipped most definitely includes replacement systems.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread

Not quite. They used all those for the first batch of PS3's. Once they ran out they had to stop including BC with PS2.

Post by: TJ Spyke on July 20, 2010, 01:43:33 PM: Not game related, but I am shocked by how many people are buying the gimped version of Avatar. Just the movie, no 3D, no bonus features, no audio commentaries, not even trailers for other movies. Even DVDs released in 1996 at least included trailers, but 20th Century Fox knows that morons will buy the gimped version now and the real version in November.

Maybe people don't really give a crap about 3D when such a small minority of home televisions will even be able to display the movie in that format. I certainly can't blame people for that. As for bonus features, those appeal to the people like us but I get the feeling most viewers just see them as bullet points on the back of the box. To be honest, I have so much stuff to play and do these days that I can never make the time to watch all those bonus features on my Blu Rays/DVDs anymore (especially since the TV that plays my Blu Rays is the same that plays my 360/PS3 games, so I can't multitask using my laptop).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 20, 2010, 05:06:24 PM: If they wanted to do this for $10, that might be OK. The problem is that they are charging full price for the movie. Why would I pay $18 for a movie that the studio didn't put an once of effort into? The only way I would even consider paying more than $15 for a movie is if I like it and has some decent special features. They could have at least had James Cameron do a audio commentary. I don't see how thy could justify this crap release, they didn't even try to hide the fact that this was a greed-based move since they announced on the same day that they would release the real version in November.

I still find it hilarious that I own more 3rd party games for my 'Cube than I do Nintendo's own. Crazy.

That is almost my case for both N64 and GC for me and is very much the case for Wii.

I have the same problem with my wii. The vast majority of the wii games I own are third party games. I have atleast four that are first party games.

They informed people that a better version was coming, but it didn't matter because people wanted it on bluray at home. When the next one comes, it'll sell as well.

Anyways, why get bent out of shape on this? It's what all Hollywood studios do. They try to make money and if people buy it they will keep doing the same thing. Nintendo is the same way as is Sony & M$ and every other game company. If they aren't in it for the profits they will not stay in business very long.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on July 23, 2010, 08:26:07 PM: Wow, both Just Dance and Dance on Broadway are in the top 10. We might be witnessing the first true 3rd party 'Wii ___' type evergreen seller series. Not even Boom Blox pulled that off. Though the music selection and appeal are diverse enough that I can see the justification to own both games.

Quote from: Chozo Ghost on July 23, 2010, 07:06:05 AM
SMG2 is no longer even in the top ten. That's a heavy blow...

But that's half of the trick with evergreen titles. They drop below the top 10 but they continue to sell at a consistent and brisk pace. Games like Boom Blox, Modern Warfare Wii, Game Party and Carnival Games never hit the top 10 to my knowledge but all of them broke the million mark in the long run. And all with little to no advertising.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on July 23, 2010, 08:33:56 PM: I'm pretty sure Call of Duty Modern Warfare was in the Wii top ten during its launch month. But you're right, the bulk of its sales came after that, and it's still in stores. I've seen it around.

EA killed Boom Blox's sales by replacing it with a sequel. The sequels to Game Party were probably redundant as well.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on July 24, 2010, 07:35:17 AM: I'm pretty sure that Game Party 2 also sold well. Let me check...

According to VGChartz:

GP1 - 2.21 million
GP2 - 1.44 million
GP3 - 300k

So it didn't drop off until the third one, but that one hasn't been out for even a year.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on July 24, 2010, 04:35:03 PM: What I mean is, I don't think releasing sequels was necessary to maintain sales. Game Party was still selling when its sequel was released, and I think it could have sold 4 million on its own, instead of selling 4 million for the three games combined.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on July 25, 2010, 08:47:19 AM: Didn't SMG1 last longer in the top 10 than SMG2? If you look at how well it did the week before it was in 6th place, so a drop from 6th to 11th is pretty bad... its not like it went down one or two pegs. It dropped 5 slots.

I suppose its possible next week it could get back on the Top 10, but realistically its past its peak. I have some serious doubts about it surpassing SMG1 in sales.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Guitar Smasher on July 25, 2010, 03:12:17 PM: Well SMG1 was released just before the holiday season, was it not? I'm sure that helped the title stay in the top 10.

And I wouldn't consider either Galaxy title to be an evergreen title.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on July 26, 2010, 05:39:57 PM: Yeah, the seventh week for Super Mario Galaxy was the week before Christmas, so of course Galaxy 2 won't match that. I'm not sure why the two games don't seem to be able to maintain sales as well as some other titles (at least in Japan), but here's hoping Galaxy 2 is still in stores for this holiday season.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 28, 2010, 11:21:39 AM: What makes you think it sold less than 100K first month? Please don't say VG Chartz because they make up their info. Considering it has only been out for two months, I don't think you could call it a bomb so soon. I have seen a lot of commercials for the game recently, so Nintendo is still supporting it.

Also, Excitebots: Trick Racing sold just 13K in its first month in the US.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread

Post by: Ymeegod on July 28, 2010, 11:54:07 AM: Oh yeah, I forgot about Excitebots sales, yeah that one bombed as well. Monster Games went out of their way to make an orginal racer but it was a little to werid for my tastes.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 28, 2010, 12:04:43 PM: It didn't help that Nintendo didn't bother actually advertising the game (it's hard to get people to buy your game when you don't let them know that it exists).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on July 28, 2010, 12:08:43 PM: When will people stop acting like first month sales are the same as life time totals. Especially when it comes to Nintendo published games that 90% of the time sell more copies in the months after release then the first month.

Post by: Deguello on July 28, 2010, 12:18:13 PM: I don't think Sin and Punishment 2 is the bigger bomb for June. That's definitely Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. This is a big time series with a game that had a gigantic budget and Sony advertising (with that twerp Marcus) and it only sold about 50k. It sold less than Metal Gear Acid and The Twin Snakes in its first month, and those games had zero advertising.

It's expected failure was probably the driving reason for that new Metal Gear game being on the 3DS and the possibility of it never being a Sony exclusive game again.

To be fair, I don't know if even Sony expects any PSP game (even Metal Gear) to sell well outside of Japan. I'm beginning to think the only reason any Japanese company brings PSP games over here is sheer ego because they can't admit that the system is a gigantic financial black hole outside of Japan. Maybe a few games escape the event horizon, but most get sucked in due to piracy and sheer customer apathy.

Post by: Mop it up on July 28, 2010, 06:00:50 PM: I think there are several reasons why ExciteBots sold relatively poorly:

1. No advertising. This is essential for the more casual crowd to become aware of the game.
2. No hype. Game was announced shortly before release and was never talked about.
3. The game was too weird. Driving robotic animals and insects isn't very appealing to most people. I honestly think it would have sold better if it were Excite Truck 2.
4. Many people may have seen it as being like Mario Kart Wii, which a lot of people own. These people likely are content with Mario Kart and don't want another racing game, or, would choose to buy Mario Kart since it's a much more recognizable franchise.

As for Sin and Punishment 2: When have shmups ever sold comparatively well?

If they could trade your purchase with the purchase of everyone that didn't buy it (but would've bought an Excite Truck 2), they would be in a much better place.

Why would people get the download version vrs UMD? Faster load times, less noice, and saves a little battery power.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Deguello on July 29, 2010, 12:46:54 PM: I highly doubt more people downloaded the game than bought it physically. That's the sort of spin Sony and Konami would try if they had the numbers to back it up (and is actually the spin IGN used. I wonder if they would feel different if it were a DS title? I know Pachter would.) Since they didn't, they obviously don't.

Metal Gear is one of those games that the fans and consumers like to buy physically. That it flopped that badly is pretty damning in comparison to the rest of the series.

I don't think it will. Odds are the sales rate will continue to go down. If its 20k this week, next week it may only be 17k or something, then 15k the next and you know..

Post by: TJ Spyke on August 04, 2010, 01:49:54 PM: It took Need for Speed: Undercover a little over 20 months to sell those 100K copies (it released in November 2008). I wish that NPD did something like this, let us know when games cross certain sales marks.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on August 04, 2010, 01:51:51 PM: We're lucky NPD gives us the little they do at this point.

We know they would't even do that if it wasn't for trying to stop the leaks

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Sarail on August 05, 2010, 09:55:04 AM: Looks like Devil Kings 3 is a bigger hit on the PS3 than on the Wii. I wonder what the differences are in each game, aside from the PS3 version having HD graphics?

Oh, and Galaxy 2 falls out of the top 10 again. :( Hopefully it'll return next week.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on August 05, 2010, 10:02:53 AM: From what i've seen and read, Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes is the same on both systems. I am really disappointed that the PS3 version outsold the Wii version.

It also helps that the PS3 has had a good number of games similar to this since the very beginning, which as a result has build up a good fanbase for these games on the system. It's just like how here in America, the 360/PS3 have had a large number of FPS from the beginning which is why FPS developed a large audience on both consoles early on.

If the 3DS is any indication, then the Wii 2 will have a shader model. That will single handedly fix most of our 3rd party graphics issues.

time for a new Wii?

looks like it..... Xmas 2011 here we come ;)

July 2009 Wii hardware sales

252,500

July 2010 Wii hardware sales

253,900

Not to mention that in July 2009, Nintendo released Wii Sports Resort which was the number 1 game of that month selling over 500,000 copies. The fact that the Wii is doing slightly better this year even though it didn't have any major releases this July, over last July when they released one of the systems biggest selling titles, shows that the system is still in great shape.

Hell, so far Wii hardware sales have actually been up almost every month this year over what it did in 2009 so far. If this trend continues then the Wii is going to have another killer holiday season, which pretty much guarantees that the Wii HD isn't coming out until late 2012 at the earliest.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on August 13, 2010, 01:40:46 AM: The Wii just reached 30 million in the US, which is about one for every ten people. The fact that it's still maintaining sales despite the decreasing number of people to sell systems to is pretty amazing.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on August 13, 2010, 06:35:20 AM: Also, the difference between Wii sales for July '09 and July '10 is that there was a price drop in the year between...

I'm so glad I'm not the only one thinking that 2011 is going to make a killing for Nintendo.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on August 13, 2010, 02:48:10 PM: I'm ready for a new Nintendo system, and seeing as how the Wii is selling in third place and just barely beating the PS3 then Nintendo needs to start being ready for a new system as well. Look, I'm a Nintendo fan and have been since I was a kid, but that doesn't change the fact that Wii sales are on the decline. As soon as the PS3 move and that Natal thing comes out the situation is going to be even worse. You see how the Wii is barely outselling the PS3 right now? Well, keep that in mind and then imagine PS3 Move on top of that. Don't look good now, does it?

So Nintendo needs to start getting something ready that will be at least on par with the other systems so that they can get the same multiplatform releases of the same quality that the other systems get. Right now, the Wii either doesn't get any of those games, or it just gets some crappy watered down port. Clearly better hardware is needed, and the Wii has done very well, but I think its time is quickly running out.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on August 13, 2010, 02:58:05 PM: PS Move isn't going to influence the Wii sales, it's aimed squarely at core gamers and those already have a PS3 (or a 360). Kinect will flop either way.

What are you talking about? You sound like those people who complain "the Wii is doomed" every time the Wii isn't the #1 console of the month. The Xbox 360 got a boost due to the slim revision, that's it. You took what happened in ONE month and assumed that it how the situation will be from now on.

What part of Wii sales are actually slightly higher then this time last year don't you understand?

This logic that you and many of the other "Wii HD in 2011 crowd" makes absolutely no sense. At this point in the game releasing a new system on par with the 360/PS3 isn't going to do sh!t. The audience that wanted the types of games those systems have like FPS and Sports games already bought those systems and would have no reason to buy a Wii HD just to get ports of games that will still arrive on the 360/PS3 anyway.

Not to mention the fact that anyone who hasn't bought a 360/PS3 yet but is interested in buying one for the types of games on those systems still wouldn't buy a Wii HD even if it started getting the same types of multiplatform games. The reason is because the 360/PS3 would still have a much larger library of these types of games with many of them at much cheaper prices for anyone new to the system to buy. Nobody would buy a Wii HD to play future games like GTA5, Modern Warfare 3, Resident Evil 6, Street Fighter Super Ultimate 4 Turbo Revival Ninth Strike, when you can get these same games on the 360/PS3 as well as their predecessors which will only cost around $20-30.

The only thing that would make a Wii HD sell is Nintendo's own first party software which is still selling amazingly well on the Wii. People have been buying the Wii since launch for Nintendo own games and that's what's keeping the Wii alive and will continue too. Nintendo's not at the mercy of third parties like Microsoft and Sony and as a result, as long as their own games are still selling, they have no need to release a new system so early. And with upcoming titles like Wii Party, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Skyward Sword and Mario Sports Mix which are all guaranteed to be huge multi-million sellers, Nintendo is in no hurry to abandon the system at anytime next year.

So... is there no hope of Kirby's Epic Yarn selling a million copies? :'(

Oh I'm sure Kirby Epic Yarn will sell over a million copies like most Kirby games usually do, but no where near the same level as the other games which should all cross the 5 million mark easily. Hell, I can easily see Wii Party breaking the 10 million mark since it'll probably appeal to the audience that made Wii Sports Resort huge last year. Plus if Donkey Kong Country Returns is advertised right to remind people of the original Country game and to appeal the recent NSMBW audience it could also be a 10 million plus seller as well.

So Kirby will more then likely do really good, but not on the same level as the others.

The race to 1 million YTD is heating up.
Will the Wii cross that line first or will the PS3?

The PS3 is only 38k behind the Wii and has outsold the Wii by ~35k over the last 2 weeks.
Can the Wii maintain it's lead? Will the PS3 finally be able to put a feather in it's cap?
stay tuned.

Hell, I can easily see Wii Party breaking the 10 million mark since it'll probably appeal to the audience that made Wii Sports Resort huge last year.
I don't know, I have my doubts about Wii Party. I think it may end up similar to Wii Music; it won't have much appeal to the people who bought the other Wii series games, it's a game in the most over-saturated genre on the Wii, and it's going to get absolutely slammed by the gaming media. I'd guess 3 million tops (is Wii Music at 3 million? I forget).

It doesn't. I just wanted to make it clear that I'm not some Sony/MS fanboy rejoicing in the fact that the competition is catching up. I just want Nintendo's consoles to have the same level of 3rd party support as the competition, but I can't see that happening unless it had a more powerful console. The Wii is selling well and Nintendo's own games are selling extremely well, but the Wii isn't the number one selling console anymore, and in a month or two it might even be the worst selling and I can't see how that can be averted, becasue its already the cheapest (not counting the 360 low-end model) console out there, so price cuts aren't going to help. What else can Nintendo do?

I estimate that it'll probably hit around 5-6 million unit worldwide in probably steady but not particularly impressive bursts. The genre is just way oversaturated and it'll have a lot of competition from Kinect and Move for media attention and advertising at the time of its release.

Again, you think that a TEMPORARY boost due to a new revision means the Xbox 360 has overtaken the Wii. At most it might get another small one in August, then the Wii will be back on top (like everytime the 360 or PS3 has gotten a boost). As Luigi Dude also pointed out, the Wii also increased year-over-year. I don't see what in the future will give any kind of boost to the PS3. Also, Microsoft doesn't actually have more than one model now (the existing Arcade and Elite have been discontinued and they are just selling off the remaining supply). So what makes you think that the Wii will suffer a drop in sales, that the PS3 will get a boost, and the 360 will keep its boost?

Wii Music didn't do as well because it got horrible reviews. Wii Play got mediocre reviews (but some good ones), but it was boosted by the fact that you get a free Wii Remote with it. Wii Play looks like a fun party game, I predict it was be very successful. I severely doubt that Kinect will be anything more than niche thanks to its $150 pricepoint and the lack of multiplatform games. PlayStation Move might be slightly better, but several of the Wii type games require two Moves controllers (meaning you need to spend $100 to play them).

Price cuts never help, they give a short boost of sales and that's it. What Nintendo can do is release killer apps.

I have to disagree with you there. When Sony cut the price of the PS3 down from $600 to its current $299 that did a lot more than just a "short" boost of sales. The less something costs the easier it is for customers to afford it and/or to justify making a purchase of it. It is highly doubtful that as well as the Wii is doing right now that it would be the case if the Wii was still priced at $249 as it was when it launched. But that only matters to a certain extent. When Nintendo marked the GC down to $99 and then to an unheard of $79 it didn't really help that much at all, but that was because it didn't have much new games at that late point in its life to really matter. So price cuts can help in some cases, in other cases they don't really do all that much though... but I think we can all agree that even if they never help sales very much they don't really hurt sales.

Eventually, Nintendo will lower the price of the Wii to $149 or even lower. Move and Kinect may force them to do that sooner rather than later. I hope it will help boost Wii sales similar to how Wii sales were boosted after the last price drop, but that remains to be seen. The severe drought of 3rd party and hardcore titles is still a major problem and price cuts aren't going to address that. So that's why I'm saying Nintendo needs to beef up the specs of its hardware at some point. If not right now, then certainly in the near future.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on August 15, 2010, 01:35:12 AM: The difference between $600 and $300 is a lot bigger than the one between $250 and $200. I didn't buy a PS3 until it dropped to $300, and I don't think anything could have changed that, but I don't think a $50 drop is going to make any difference in the long run. After the initial boost they'll be back to where they were, except making less money per sale.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on August 15, 2010, 04:15:02 AM: For the record I'm not saying a price cut is the answer, but I do think we'll probably see it happen this holiday season. If any one of the console makers cut the MSRP of their system you can be sure the others will follow suit soon after, and they all obviously want to get a sales boost for the holiday season whether its short term or not.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: GoldenPhoenix on August 15, 2010, 05:30:20 AM: I think a new model of the Wii would do much better then a price cut. That is what 360 is riding off of. It doesn't have to be the Wii 2 just a revised Wii console. The issue with Wii isn't really games, or price it is just that the market has been saturated with 30 million Wiis so customers need a reason to double dip.

Also price cuts are mostly good in the short term unless they are a massive cut like the PS3 had which made the system from being completely out of many people's price range to being affordable.

I don't think that will happen though, I don't see either Kinect or PlayStation Move being anything more than niche (like how the EyeToy was or the PlayStation Eye so far).

KDR, price cuts only hurt revenue if they don't sell enough systems. For example, they will make more money selling 300K systems at $150 than they would 200K systems at $200 ($45 million vs. $40 million). The idea with price cuts are that they will get help them sell enough systems to make up the difference. They also just want to get as many systems out there as possible because they make money from every single game sold for the system.

Yes but realistically a pricedrop might sell a few hundred thousand units which is WAAAAAY less than what the Wii will sell over its remaining lifetime without one.

Go figure. I think we've seen it maybe twice on the NPDs, so it's easy to lose track of. I still think Wii Party's going to suffer a little franchise and genre fatigue, though.

The thing is, since Nintendo and the Wii series are at the top of the genre, even if there is some fatigue the game will still be a huge hit and has a good chance of being another 10 million + seller. When you've built up a huge mega audience like Nintendo has, even if say 25% of the audience is burned out, the other 75% will still make their product a giant hit.

July 2009 - #1 (508.2K)
August 2009 - #2 (754K)
September 2009 - #2 (442.9K)
October 2009 - #4 (314K)
November 2009 - #7 (720.2K)
December 2009- #3 (1.79 million)
January 2010 - #6 (297.6K)
February 2010 - #5 (272.5K)
March 2010 - #11
April 2010 - #6 (179K)
May 2010 - #20
June 2010 - #20

So it was in the top 10 for its first 8 consecutive months, and last month was the first time it wasn't in the top 20 (and I think it's obvious that the reason for the sharp drop is that the game now comes bundled with the Wii, so new Wii owners don't need to buy the game). The game has sold 19.16 million copies as of June 30, making it the 5th best selling Wii game.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on August 16, 2010, 04:30:13 PM: Nintendo should be able to turn a profit on the Wii after a price cut. I'm not sure how much profit they make right now at the $199 price point, but you can be sure its something. They were turning a profit on hardware since launch, and its a well established fact that over time production costs go down, so its perfectly reasonable for a company like Nintendo to pass the reduced cost of production on to the consumers. After all, didn't Nintendo sell the Gamecube at $99 and were still making a profit? Of course, the Wii is more than just a Gamecube and I'm sure it costs more to make, but is the difference really THAT great? If Nintendo could sell the GC at $79 and still turn a profit in its final years, then would it really be problem to cut the Wii down to $149?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on August 16, 2010, 05:53:06 PM: Maybe not yet. Wasn't the profit margin on Wii at launch something like $27 per console? I have no doubt they are making a profit not since they would not have dropped the price unless they would still make a profit, but I question whether they could drop it to $150 right now. I also see no reason for them to do it since sales are still good.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on August 16, 2010, 08:47:32 PM: I'm sure Nintendo is not paying over $100 right now to produce any Wii.
I'm sure the controller cost them around $20-&25 with all accessories(M+ & Nunchuck) too.

I'm positive Nintendo could drop the Wii to $150 and still make a profit over a year ago, but it's more of a question of why?
Why would they when it still sell perfectly fine at the current price point. Thats potential lost profits and there was no need for up to this point in time.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on August 17, 2010, 04:18:46 AM: The problem is the low end 360 is selling for $50 less than the Wii.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on August 17, 2010, 05:05:28 AM: The remaining Arcade models, which aren't in production anymore, are $150. The new low end model is back up to $200.

Also, anyone considering buying a 360 without a hard drive at this point (or at least the ones who don't already own a 360) would be better served by a $200 Wii than a $150 360. For a gamer, a hard drive is necessary, and someone who isn't a traditional gamer would be better off with a Wii than a 360. Even if it were $50 more, you're getting two great games with it. I'm not sure if the 360 currently has games bundled with it, but if it does they surely aren't anywhere near the quality of Wii Sports and Resort. A lot of the Wii audience wouldn't even look at the 360 anyway; for them the choice is between getting a Wii and not getting a Wii, with no third option.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: ymeegod on August 17, 2010, 08:18:45 AM: "For a gamer, a hard drive is necessary,"

Actually the Jasper's arcades came with onboard memory, the same amount as the WII so as long as you don't plan on downloading tons of DLC or XBL Arcade games then you should be fine. Also the newer updates allowed 360's USB harddrive support so additional memory is pretty damn cheap compared to a year ago when the only options where an overpriced HD or MU.

The arcade does come with tokens and a few toss away games like Pac-Man but the Xbox has the better selection when it comes to games and pricing. Alot of the WII's hits are still at the $50 price point, Mario Kart for example, while MS has tons of cheap ass greatest hits selection. Nintendo still doesn't offer Players Choice in the NA regions, not sure why because they do in Japan, not sure about Europe.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on August 17, 2010, 08:47:34 AM: I'm pretty sure I have far more than 512 MB worth of game update patches alone on my hard drive. Most game demos take up more than that by themselves. Also, I'd argue that XBLA games are one of the best reasons to own a 360, as there are a lot more exclusives there than there are meaningful retail exclusives. The update allows external USB drives, but only up to 16 GB; for refence, despite going in and cleaning out the stuff I don't need anymore recently, I'm using well over half my 120 GB hard drive. I download more XBLA games than most people, and I have a lot (A LOT) of Rock Band DLC, but that's still over 4 times that limit.

For a bargin the $150 arcade really is a steal for those not looking at wi-fi connection. The price performance is on par with the WII because with the $50 difference you'll be able to buy a least two great games from the 360's library.

$200 WII (Sports and Resort)_
$10 Sandisk card (4gb)

$150 Xbox 360
$10 for USB thumbdrive (4gb)
$40 can buy two PH titles

That would be a smart move. I do have some spare hard drives laying around, but they are 3.5" desktop hard drives, so I don't think they'll work. The 360 uses 2.5" notebook hard drives, right?

Meanwhile I'm really glad I got my 60GB HDD, there are tons of awesome downloadable games on XBLA and installing a game to HDD can really help with games that have annoying load times (EDF 2017 went from short loads between menus to practically no loads, the main level loads weren't affected much but the menu loads were much more annoying).

It's very easy to put a different hard drive in the 360's HDD shell and have it work (and people have been doing this for about 4 years...no one has *ever* gotten in trouble for it), it just needs to be compatible with the tools available. You can get a 250GB HDD for like $40, instead of paying the $130 Microsoft wants. I did that for my regular console.

How'd you get around Microsoft's Firmware update that disabled all storage devices except their official HDDs?
They never did that (technically). They specifically blocked Datel's memory card, but as far as the Xbox 360 is concerned, these *are* official hard drives. You've never been able to just slap a 2.5" HDD in there (well on a JTAG'ed system you can), you have to patch it with an appropriate security sector and update the firmware on the drive to make it look like one that came out of a 360.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on August 21, 2010, 03:55:14 PM: Why did Art Academy jump from 24th to 2nd in the UK? Was it released on the last day of the previous week? That sometimes happens here where a game will be released like 2 or 3 days before the end of the NPD period, so most of its sales will be in the second month.

I have a friend who has been selling this stuff on places like EBAY and amazon, he is getting ready (or is ready not sure) on the slim hard drive line. He has been assembling the older ones in his house and selling them for a bit now, and he said that his supplier has the same kits for the slim versions too. So its defiantly possible for those who know.

Considering this game, including sacrifices made to Samus' character, was made specifically for the Japanese audience, I hope Nintendo was happy with the sales that resulted from it. -_-'

Post by: Sarail on September 09, 2010, 12:23:51 AM: I guess when you add in that Japan's console game industry just doesn't do well anymore, unless it's Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, or Monster Hunter, and coupled with the fact that Metroid just isn't popular in that country, then sure, I bet Nintendo is satisfied with Other M's sales.

Also, what in the world is Monster Hunter Diary? Hmmm...

Correct, though this was Nintendo's big push to get the Japanese into Metroid: they allowed Sakamoto to force Team Ninja into making the game play like an NES game; they allowed Sakamoto free reign to turn Samus into a character more appealing to Japanese sensibilities; they had a Japanese company making the game; and they went with a 3rd person sidescrolling-style more historically-appealing to the Japanese. If any Metroid game was ever going to sell well in Japan, this would be the one. Honestly, I'm surprised by how relatively quietly it released. I thought it would perform much better, at least in its first week. But I suppose it was up against Monster Hunter and another Wii _____ game, both of which the Japanese go nuts over for some strange reason.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on September 09, 2010, 06:03:46 PM: One thing to remember is that Metroid Other M was released on 2nd September in Japan, so we aren't looking at first week sales, we are looking at the first three days of sales. Considering that, along with Metroid's low popularity, I'm not disappointed at all by its sales, in fact I think it did pretty well. The question will be if it can maintain these sales, that's the real test. Hopefully word of mouth will help sell it to some people.

You don't collect monsters in Monster Hunter. It's called Monster Hunter, not Monster Collector.

Fusion put up similar number in it's first week but had good legs and went on to sell over 150,000 copies in Japan. While Zero Mission first week number were lower than Other M and it sold somewhere in the 70/80k range.

So it'll be interesting to see if Other M ends up like Fusion or Zero Mission in Japan

That still wouldn't be good. This is the game that was supposed to make Metroid popular in Japan, if it doesn't increase popularity there while alienating western gamers it's a failure.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on September 11, 2010, 04:07:22 AM: I hope Metroid does get popular in Japan. I understand that in order to gain that popularity sacrifices would have to be made that would anger or annoy the western market, but the good thing about Metroid being popular in Japan in the long run is that it would result in more attention being given to the franchise by Nintendo, and therefore more games would be created (hopefully). So the question is, is it a good thing for a Western Metroid fan if more games get made at the cost of changes made to appeal to the Japanese market, or are we better off with fewer Metroid games but these games are truer to the classic Metroids?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on September 11, 2010, 10:36:01 AM: Even though Nintendo is most concerned with Japan, I don't think they would care how well a game does in Japan if it it's foreign sales make the game profitable. They were perfectly fine with how the previous games did, and I think they would still have the console games done by Retro if Retro wanted to do them (Retro was just getting the urge to do something new). I also don't think they would suddenly care about the Metroid series success in Japan after 20+ years. Since pissing off them majority of Metroid fans would not likely have much impact on sales in Japan, I think the smart thing would be to stick to western style Metroid games.

Personally, I was perfectly fine with the flow of Metroid games we have had. If anything, we have way too many of them now. I really don't give a damn if Metroid becomes popular in Japan, and I like Nintendo having one franchise that's dramatically more popular in the West. It makes them actually pay attention to our interests for a change rather than seeing the US as a completely secondary market. Besides, I have a great deal of disgust for modern Japanese culture (Dragon Quest, the devaluation of women, the sexualization of extremely underaged girls, etc.), so I don't want the soul of Metroid to be sacrificed to appeal to that culture.

I hope you don't confuse the average Japanese person and the small audience of otaku that are the sole financial fuel for moe entertainment and merchandise. Despite how it looks like on the internet, the creepy 2D girls that look like they should only appeal to a small section of equally creepy and secluded nerds really do only appeal to a small section of creepy and secluded nerds.

Post by: TJ Spyke on September 16, 2010, 04:59:29 PM: I didn't even know that made a sequel, almost no hype compared to the first game.

But yes, I just checked and saw that the Xbox 360 version got released a week before the PlayStation 3 version. Th 360 version was released on September 3, the PS3 version on September 10.

But then again, isn't the Mafia II game about Italians as well? Maybe Italians were offended by the stereotypes and violence and such.

...or judging by the continual sales of Wii Party, they might feel tempted to pull the series into that territory. Hopefully, they'll refocus their efforts on the Western market with Metroid, but you never know.

Well, either that or revamp their efforts 10 fold by turning Metroid into a monster collecting dating simulator, where Samus captures the monsters she defeats in battle and then trains them, until they are suitable for her to date.

When the PS3 first started outselling the Wii I said it was alarming, but everyone dismissed it and said it didn't matter. Well, it matters because it wasn't just a weekly or monthly thing, its now a yearly thing and that's not good...

Post by: TJ Spyke on September 20, 2010, 12:44:33 AM: The Wii is already owned by almost twice as many PS3 owners though, so there are more potential people to sell a PS3 to than a Wii too (especially some existing PS3 owners who are deciding to upgrade to the slim model).

It still does not matter. Nintendo's goal is not to be first, Nintendo's goal is to keep selling. They don't care at all if some other console sells more.

It is kinda weird, because Gunpei Yokoi, Sakamoto, and most of the others involved in the creation of the franchise are Japanese... yet even though the creators are Japanese the franchise is poorly received in their native land.

I know for a fact that FP(S) games like Doom and Halo and all that are very unpopular in Japan, so that right there pretty much guarantees that the Prime games weren't going to be successful there no matter what. But that's only for the Prime games, and doesn't explain the lackluster reception for the rest of the franchise. Other M seemed to do okay, but it has since dropped like a stone... but to be fair Other M is a fairly mediocre game by Metroid standards, so its not an A+ epic title or anything like that. So what does that leave? The original old school Metroid games were probably poorly advertised in Japan so the consumer recognition just wasn't there. That might be the reason.

Whatever the reason, clearly more effort needs to be made to get Japan to convert over to the Metroid system.

Pokémon Black & White enjoys Japan's largest ever opening...

Who says the Japanese industry is dead? Preliminary figures for Pokémon Black & White show that combined sales for the titles surpassed 2.6 million in its opening week - managing the feat in just two days. Not only does it make for the biggest ever opening in Japan, but it managed the sum in half the time of the previous record-holder, Final Fantasy VIII.
Pokémon Black & White marks the fifth official generation of Pokémon titles, and the second to be released in DS. The games were the first in the franchise to be awarded a perfect 40/40 score in Famitsu.

Pokémon Black & White is due for release in western territories in the spring of next year.

Seems odd that he or any other developer would wring his hands that the market is gravitating towards the games that are cheaper and quicker to make. If true, ego is the only way I could explain it.

Can anyone offer some insight as to what it is about Metroid that it has never been popular in Japan? Is it because of the exploration, or the shooting, or that it stars a female, or the strange title, or what?

It might be easier to narrow down a possible explanation if we look at how the more recent Castlevania games have performed in Japan. If good, then we can probably rule out the exploration and, in the case of Order of Ecclesia, the female lead aspect.

I think it might be the sci-fi element, which I would consider to have more of a western association.

I don't think it's the sci-fi element. JRPGs have been steadily drifting towards Sci-Fi over the years (Final Fantasy, Star Ocean, etc.), and they have been doing fine. And although Order of Ecclesia has a female lead, considering she has her entire personality obliterated in the opening moments of that game and becomes a barely-sentient doll under the control of a man (yeah, suffice it to say I have issues with how that game treated Shanoa)...well, that wasn't the best example. FF XIII had a strong-ish female lead (sort of), and it did ok.

Honestly, I think it's more a combination of factors: Japan's always been male-dominated, it's more complicated than many of Nintendo's other franchises, they like very traditional-style games, etc. Plus, the very fact that the series has been so popular in the West may be a mental block to such a nationalistic society (in their anime, the United States is almost always depicted as dim; foolish; and arrogant. I could see the general culture perceiving anything we like more than them to be a bad influence). The fact that the Metroid series has been a 1st person experience (and that Other M has a 1st person mode) that the Japanese typically don't like for 4 games now (the 3 Primes and Hunters) probably didn't help things, either.

I just don't think Metroid is the type of sci-fi Japan is generally interested in, at least when I think about the other sci-fi related things I have seen come out of Japan. But perhaps they like it more than I realize.

The second half of your post is very intriguing...

This is the correct answer. Metroid is more of a western sci-fi that rely more on gritty realism for the setting, which is understandable since Sakamoto based the frachise off the Alien movie series.

The thing is though, the mainstream Japanese audience doesn't like gritty realism in their stories. I remember reading an article a few years ago when The Dark Knight bomb in Japan and people were wondering why since you'd think the Japanese love superheros. Well according to article the Japanese love to see their superhero movies to be over the top with lots of ridiculus effects and a more happier tone with brighter colors. This is why Spider-Man and Iron Man were both big hits over their while The Dark Knight was a failure.

If you look at the Metroid series, it fits more into the tone of Batman then Spider-Man. Even in Other M, the setting and feel of the game still have more of a realistic western vibe too it, then a crazy Japanese vibe. Maybe if Samus was to pilot a gaint robot with Adam (who's now a bishounen) in the next game and yell out long engrish attacks while fighting a cyborg space walrus that's the size of the sun with the latest J-Pop hit playing in the background, then the Japanese would enjoy it. But until then, it's still too western for the their taste.

Who said The Dark Knight was a bomb in Japan? It made about $14.5 million there (9th largest country for the movie). That is more than Iron Man 2 did (about $12 million) or Iron Man did there (about $8.6 million). I will give you Spider-Man though, somehow Spider-Man 3 made $58.3 million in Japan.

You're right.
I wasn't saying that the handheld market is just catering to the younger demographics in Japan. It actually is quite a diverse demographic market for the handheld in Japan.
What I was trying to say is that I'm sure Inafune has noticed that the diversity of demographics for home console software has waned.

I buy more handheld games then console games since handheld games are less expensive first run.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on September 25, 2010, 12:50:58 PM: Metroid is still clinging on at number 8 in Finland. I can't help but wonder why that is so for that country, but not any where else in Europe.

Okay, I get it now... Finland's chart is for week 35 + 36, whereas its week 37 for the other countries.

Post by: Caliban on September 30, 2010, 01:13:25 PM: Why even bother getting the F1 game for the Wii. With games like that, bordering on simulation you get it for the PC, and as last resort for the PS3/360.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Killer_Man_Jaro on October 06, 2010, 03:45:27 PM: Super Mario Galaxy 2 must be closing in on Super Mario Galaxy's lifetime-to date numbers at this point. It's been high up in the Japanese chart and all the European charts since release.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on October 06, 2010, 08:10:01 PM: It is hard to say. In the last Nintendo earnings report, which was late June, Super Mario Galaxy 2 was at just over 4 million worldwide, which is less than half of the first game's total at 8.8 million. So if it maintained its sales then it is getting close, but it doesn't seem to have; it's still over 100k away from besting SMG in Japan, and its sales are declining each week.

I guess we won't know if Super Mario Galaxy 2 passes the first until Nintendo's next report, which I guess will be June 2011?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on October 06, 2010, 08:15:52 PM: Sales for all games will accelerate as we enter into the holiday season. SMG2 should see a substantial boost and it will probably climb past SMG then.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on October 06, 2010, 10:10:58 PM: mop, Nintendo does quarterly reports. So their next report should be this month (and will include all games that sold 1 million copies between July and September).

That really is B.S. I love how the NPDs have slowly trickled down to nothing: first, we had the Top 20 every month; then the Top 10; then the Top 10 without specific platforms noted; and now absolutely nothing. Brilliant, NPD! This service was the only reason anyone cared about you. I guess companies can still use them to find out how their competitors' games are selling, but we have no reliable data now to know how our favorite games are faring in the marketplace.

And I really enjoyed the monthly discussion on my various podcasts about the monthly NPDs, and that's mostly gone now. :(

Post by: KDR_11k on October 12, 2010, 03:07:11 PM: IIRC they tried to end it completely before but there were too many leaks so they released some information to reduce the leakage.

Fair enough, though I wonder how many leaks we'll see now. NPD subscriber-ship is expensive, and NPD could terminate the subscription of anyone who leaks the info if it can be traced back to them. Well, I hope we see the information leaked, anyway.

They are a business and they make their money by companies (like the game publishers) paying a subscription fee to get the data. The full reports are much more detailed, including a list of every single game (even if the game is 8 years old and sells just 1 copy that month), and they even break down sales by SKU (so Nintendo could see exactly how many of each color of the DSi sells, for example).

I remember reading one of the full leaked lists and it listed a single sale of Conkers Bad Fur Day on N64 in like 2004. It is ridiculously detailed. Makes me wish we could get hold of it.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on October 14, 2010, 05:40:47 AM: The Wii only has two titles on the chart and is still being outsold by the PS3 in terms of hardware. No matter how you slice it that isn't looking very good. And as far as handhelds go, the PSP has 6 titles on the charts whereas the NDS only has 4 so that's not very good either. I recall the good old days from just a couple years ago when the NDS was kicking ass left and right in Japan, and the PSP was a non-entity. Man, things have really changed...

If you add it all up, Nintendo systems have 6 games on the chart, but Sony systems have twice that much. This sucks.

Really doesn't matter to me considering these are games that are either: a) big budget JRPGs that the country will gobble up regardless. b) bi-yearly entries in popular Japanese only franchises. c) Monster Hunter.

Nice to see that Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions made the Top 10, as I had a lot of fun with that one even if the reviewers didn't. I'm surprised to see that Other M even made the Top 10 for September, though if it only made #9 in (what's essentially) it's first month, that doesn't bode well for the game's sales in NA. I get the feeling it wouldn't even be in the Top 10 if NPD didn't compress all the versions of each game into a single entry.

Frazier helpfully noted that if the top 10 were ranked by SKU, New Super Mario Bros. Wii would have cracked the top 10, as usual.

You know what that means...

You don't know that for certain. It's also quite possible that we'd see 360 and PS3 versions of some of the higher games up on the list taking 2 spots instead of one, like Madden NFL 11; Dead Rising 2; NHL 11; and perhaps even FIFA Soccer 11 (though I doubt it, given Soccer's relative popularity in North America compared to Europe).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on October 14, 2010, 10:16:18 PM: I guess you're technically right....

but if Metroid: OM is already on the Top 10 as a single SKU and NSMBW would have made the Top 10 if they were all listed as single SKU, then MOM would still be on the TOP 10 since it obviously sold more than NSMBW. It might have been at #9(because NSMBW would've been #10) or stayed at #8 so I guess you are technically right, it might not have "obviously" been higher up on the charts.

Not having numbers really sucks though. I hope someone finds a leak somewhere and post it.

Indeed. It is a very dark day when VGChartz has our most accurate sales numbers for a given title.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on October 15, 2010, 12:42:21 AM: NPD's decision came at a bad time, because I was really looking forward to M:OM's sales total for the month of September. Hopefully the numbers will get leaked soon, preferably to the fullest detail.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on October 16, 2010, 02:29:23 AM: Metroid numbers are out, Other M sold 173,000 copies.

In comparison Prime 3 did 218,000 it's first month. Of course the last 2D Metroid, Zero Mission sold 151,000 copies it's first month and the one before that, Fusion did about 200,000 it's first month. So while Other M isn't doing as well as the Prime games, it is doing around what the 2D Metroids which it's more similar to did. Plus we don't know if it's legs will be like Fusion or Zero Mission. Fusion went on to sell over 900,000 copies in North America while Zero Mission only sold over 400,000.

So why not exactly a great start, it's a half-way decent start. If it can at least manage to have legs similar to Fusion I wouldn't be surprised if we get another game like it in the future. Of course I doubt a sequel will be allowed to have the production value budget that Other M did, but consider Other M's movies were one of the least liked parts of the game, I don't think anyone will care if they're gone.

No it's not. Like I said before Other M is still putting up numbers similar to other games at this point in there lifespans and could have some decent legs as well.

The only part of Metroid that's doomed is Sakamoto being allowed to put lots of cutscenes and FMV's with voice acting in any future installments since I'd imagine Nintendo isn't going to be willing to spend lots of money on big production values for a Metroid game after Other M's start. But considering that's what you hate the most in Metroid games you should be happy now since any future Metroid game from Sakamoto will have to be mostly gameplay since he won't be allowed to spend a lot on production values.

No, what I hate is forced linearity in a Metroid game. Cutscenes lead to linearity but even without them Sakamoto can and probably will screw Metroid up if he gets the feedback that ripping out the Metroidy bits and replacing them with his "vision" boosts sales.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on October 16, 2010, 06:05:33 PM: Hopefully what this means instead is that they will cut down on music games released. Rock Band 3 adds a keyboard, as well as features that bring it closer to what it is like playing a real instrument; the next logical step for the music game genre seems like teaching players how to actually play an instrument. There's still a lot of potential in that area. Scaling back to no more than one game released in a year, but making one with substantial improvements is the way to go; band-specific versions seems redundant, with the possible exception of The Beatles since they're legendary.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on October 16, 2010, 06:14:24 PM: I think Activision has already realized this peril. They have cut back to one release a year it seems. Personally I think Rock Band has it set up better and they had a dedicated core of players downloading songs all the time so they could become more sustainable.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on October 16, 2010, 07:33:07 PM: So the Wii is in dead last for the month of September? I remember there were months where it was beaten by either the 360 or PS3, but as far as I'm aware of this is the first month where it got beat by both simultaneously. That's not a very good thing to see. It might be getting time for Nintendo to start considering either a price cut and/or a stronger bundled deal so that the Wii can be strong this holiday season. It is great that the Wii is the fastest selling console of all time, but it needs to be acknowledged that it isn't selling so fast anymore. Personally, I blame the drought of games. I thought Nintendo said they weren't going to have the same sort of drought the Gamecube suffered from? Well, maybe the Wii's drought isn't as bad as the GC's was, but this is still ridiculous.

Also, the sales for Other M are disappointing. Other M did get some good TV advertising, so it doesn't make much sense. That was pretty much all Nintendo had for that month too...

Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 17, 2010, 09:30:58 AM: Regardless of their install base, I guarantee you Nintendo of America (and Japan I would imagine) is shitting it's pants right now. This is 4 months in a row that Xbox 360 has outsold the Wii in the US, and now Sony is outselling them too. PS3 has outsold Wii for the year in Japan, too. It doesn't matter if you were number one for a long time, now someone is showing you up, so you need to make some changes.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Guitar Smasher on October 17, 2010, 03:09:36 PM: Actually, I'm pretty sure they're more concerned with year-over-year growth than their competitors' sales. How well your competitor does is much less important when you're experiencing solid growth. Of course, as a console approaches market saturation, software sales become that much more important for profitability. So if there's any reason to be pant-shitting (which I think there is), it is because of this.

Considering how many more people already own Wii's, I don't think it is a big deal. There are fewer potential Wii owners than 360 or PS3.

Also keep in mind that a lot of major Wii titles keep selling for a LONG time after release, all we see here are the top sellers and of course these are mostly dominated by recent releases. We don't know how many titles Nintendo has flying below the radar and how much money those bring in.

Actually, that's the problem. The Wii has been resting on its laurels for far too long. You had games like Wii Sports/Resort, New Super Mario Bros., Mario Kart, Wii Play, SMG1&2, Wii Fit, etc. and these were great games and all, but that's only like a half dozen games and almost the entire success of the Wii was based on these games and these games alone. Other titles came and went, but these were the ones that stayed on the charts for months (in some cases even years) and sold millions of copies, and that's what the Wii hardware was relying on the whole time.

Well now, all those titles have dropped off the list. I'm sure they're lingering somewhere below the top 10... maybe they're in the top 20 or top 40 now. But the thing is they used to be in the Top 5, and now we don't see them anymore. But my point is the Wii's success was based on these small handful of games for far too long, and now that all these games are old news what does the Wii have going for it right now at this moment? The answer is unfortunately nothing.

Post by: that Baby guy on October 18, 2010, 06:23:47 PM: Well, at this moment? Kirby's Epic Yarn. What does the Xbox 360 have going for it right now at this moment? The PS3?

You're saying that some Wii games stay on the charts, whereas other Wii games and the general portion of games out there for other consoles fall off the charts right away.

What's the problem here, again? I kind of missed it while I was playing some of the Wii games Nintendo released this year, and looking ahead to the five or six other titles on the verge of coming out.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on October 18, 2010, 06:35:26 PM: It would seem that people are really starting to see value in the XBox 360, and this is something Nintendo shouldn't take lying down. If they really hope to continue with the Wii for 2+ more years, then they need to make it a hot-ticket item once again. They can do this by either lowering the price, or offering bundles that include more than just Wii Sports/Resort. Start by adding a second Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuk to the basic $200 package, and then it becomes far more complete since you can play all of the Wii Sports games with two people. Then, offer software bundles that include another game, such as New Super Mario Brothers Wii, Wii Fit, Donkey Kong Country, etc. They could also make special colours for these bundles to make them more attractive, like red for Mario, green for Donkey Kong, etc.

As for game sales, XBox 360 games and PS3 titles are always front-loaded, so you have to look at total sales for the big picture. Did you know that not one PS3 game has sold over 5 million copies? Meanwhile, the entire Wii top ten have all sold over 7 million.

Depends on how well Skyward Sword performs. If it's properly executed it could buy the platform another year. If not, then you're probably right. Do we know of any other first party games planned for after this holiday season?

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on October 19, 2010, 02:46:10 AM: Pikmin 3 should come to the Wii. We have not seen any new Pikmin title for this generation (unless you count the new play control version, which I do not). But the thing I feel the Wii is really missing is some new core franchises. We've seen the Wii Sports and all that, but those are not core games. Pikmin was a new core franchise for the GC, and the GC also got Geist and Luigi's Mansion and a bunch of other stuff. So in that respect the GC is beating the Wii. It sorta feels like Nintendo is happy with the franchises it already has and would rather just milk those than experiment and take the risk of creating something completely new.

Of course, consumers are also to blame for that, because when Nintendo did push out new franchises like Geist did consumers buy it? Not really. So its not totally Nintendo's fault. Nintendo just sticks to its established franchises because they know those are going to sell. But when it comes to something completely made from scratch, who can really tell how its going to perform?

We have not even seen Star Fox yet. Hell, even Hideki Kamiya wants a new Star Fox and he wanted Nintendo to force him to make one.

...I kind of want Pikmin for the 3DS though.

Geist was a GameCube game, not a Wii game. Outside of the Wii _____ series (which isn't aimed at us and doesn't satisfy what I'm looking for in games), I'm struggling to think of a single new Nintendo IP on Wii "we" didn't buy (bear in mind that North America never got Disaster: Day of Crisis). Even ExciteTruck and ExciteBots (if I remember correctly) were just extensions of the Exitebike franchise. Supposedly, Kirby's Epic Yarn was originally going to be a new IP, but Nintendo decided it wouldn't sell without an established name stitched on.

As for Pikmin, if Nintendo isn't going to take the game seriously enough to give it more than a skeleton team, I'd rather they waited for the Wii's successor. It will need good titles at launch.

I suspect Nintendo is working on their next console's launch titles as we speak. It is possible that Pikmin is among them, but who knows at this point? We won't hear anything about the games until at least after the console itself gets announced. I think some generic Wii Sports casual type thing is a given, and will probably be bundled with the system itself since that strategy paid off so well for the first Wii. Anything else I guess is just speculation at this point.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on October 19, 2010, 08:13:12 PM: If reviews are any indication, Geist didn't sell well because it wasn't a good game. Plus it was released late in the GameCube's life, very little games sold at that point. Also, Luigi's Mansion is not a new franchise, it's a spin-off of Mario and a part of that whole franchise.

Aside from the Wii series of games (which are something new that were at least a calculated risk no matter how much some people don't like them), Nintendo have three new franchises on Wii in North America: Endless Ocean, the Art Styles games, and the upcoming FlingSmash. They also revived Punch-Out!! and brought Sin and Punishment to North America. The problem isn't that they aren't creating new IP, it's that many aren't being released in North America. Japan has Captain Rainbow, Takt of Magic, XenoBlade, and Zangeki no Reginleiv, and Europe has Disaster: Day of Crisis. The Last Story will probably soon be on the list too. I've no idea why Nintendo doesn't want to try these games in North America.

Personally, it doesn't matter to me whether a game is an old or new IP; as games like Battalion Wars, Metroid Other M, and Kirby Epic Yarn have shown, Nintendo will experiment within its franchises. At the end of the day, a good game is a good game.

The sales part isn't really true. (http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/112/1126374p1.html) It is far from something like Super Mario Brothers 2 which was a completed game with Mario characters tossed in for the North American version.

Yeah, that's my take on it as well. I know Geist is popular here for some reason, but I owned that game back on GCN and it really wasn't very good in spite of its ambition.

Ah, knew I forgot something. The Endless Ocean series is so casual I tend to forget it's not part of the Wii ______ series. I forget, but isn't the Art Styles franchise DSiWare not a Wii product? As for FlingSmash, I know little about the game except that it's one of the few Nintendo games to use the MotionPlus. And yeah, I don't know why Nintendo is being so stingy with bringing its new Nintendo-published titles from Japan over here, especially the RPGs (which the Wii is sorely lacking in).

Agreed. Battalion Wars and Epic Yarn don't appeal to me, but it's good to see Nintendo experimenting with new ideas. Likewise with Other M, though I enjoyed that game despite its issues. Man, this really is the year for decades-old fans of established franchises to have to challenge their preconceptions (or just whine about them, as we've seen), between FF XIII; Metroid Other M; and Castlevania.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on October 19, 2010, 08:26:02 PM: Actually, Art Style might have started on DSiWare, I'm not sure. But it is at least a new IP for this generation, and some of the games are on Wii. Also, I looked it up, and Takt of Magic is a sequel to Lost Magic, so it would also fall under "new IP for this generation" and not for Wii.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on October 19, 2010, 08:28:51 PM: The Art Style series began on WiiWare, but there are a lot more of them on DSiWare, including, in my opinion, most of the best ones.

The reason it is brought up so often is because it is the last real example of a brand new hardcore franchise created by Nintendo. It was launched in the last days of the GC and its about 5 or so years old now, but it remains the last true example of a hardcore IP by Nintendo on a Nintendo console, and that's the problem. Sure, Endless Ocean is a new IP but I consider that casual like the Wii-____ titles. Even though 3rd parties have mostly crapped on or ignored the Wii, they've given some cool new IPs like Red Steel and No More Heroes, Madworld, Conduit, to name a few. So its a weird thing to say this, but when it comes to introducing new hardcore IPs the 3rd parties are actually doing a better job of that than Nintendo is, because while Nintendo makes far better games overall, the stuff they make all involves characters that were established long before the Wii launched.

Sure, Geist might have been a mediocre or bad game, but its the last time Nintendo tried. Its like someone who does something half ass and then it fails and they're like "well, at least I gave it a try" and then just gave up, but that's not how it should be. Imagine if Nintendo had that attitude back in 1985.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on October 19, 2010, 08:48:44 PM: Let's not pretend that, if other companies had franchises as successful as Nintendo's, they wouldn't make sequel and spin-off after sequel and spin-off. They have no choice but to introduce new IP and hope they find success. Also, the games you mentioned are all rated T-M, which Nintendo doesn't really make. So if those are examples of "hardcore" games, Nintendo have never made "hardcore" games.

Are you trying to tell me these are all casual games? Sure, quite a few are Japan-only, but clearly, Nintendo is still trying.

As for Donkey Kong Country Returns, I'm expecting it to sell fairly well, though I don't know how much will be accredited to New Super Mario Bros owners. At least in the West, the Donkey Kong Country name is held in high regard, and at the Japanese conference last month, DKCR was the only American-developed game shown, so they might promote it more over there.

The Donkey Kong Country series was huge in Japan back in the day as well. The first DCK sold around 3 million copies in Japan and was Nintendo's 3rd best selling SNES game over there. Not to mention the sequel sold 2.2 million copies and was Nintendo's 4th best selling SNES game. Donkey Kong Country 3 managed to sell 1.7 million copies. Hell, even Donkey Kong 64 sold over 1 million copies in Japan as well.

After NSMBW success in Japan just a year ago, I'll honestly be shocked if DKCR doesn't manage to at least do 1.5 million copies. Considering most of Donkey Kong's fanbase on the SNES was made up of Mario fans, since NSMBW was able to bring a lot of the older Mario fans back, I'd be shocked if a large amount of them don't buy DCKR, since they loved the series enough to buy all 3 games back on the SNES which caused them to also buy DK64 as well.

Just when I thought the Wii would be doomed, they have the perfect timing for the new bundle with NSMBW, etc. I expect Wii to be back in 1st place for the next few months.

I'm sure the new bundle will give some sort of boost to Wii sales. But the problem is the bundle is only a short term fix. Nintendo can boost hardware sales by releasing fancy new colors and bundling existing games only to an extent. Nintendo can shuffle around its existing A+ titles to help for the holiday season, but what happens when consumers had their fill of them and want something different? This is yet another example of the Wii riding its success off a small handful of highly popular games.

Media Create - Kirby Comparison

03/24/00 [N64] Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards (Nintendo) - 337.035 / 927.269
08/23/00 [NGB] Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble (Nintendo) - 200.190 / 507.252
10/25/02 [GBA] Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land (Nintendo) - 213.300 / 585.700
07/11/03 [GCN] Kirby Air Ride (Nintendo) - 79.700 / 278.500
04/15/04 [GBA] Kirby & the Amazing Mirror (Nintendo) - 188.837 / 736.226
03/24/05 [NDS] Kirby Canvas Curse (Nintendo) - 75.365 / 310.251
11/02/06 [NDS] Kirby Squeak Squad (Nintendo) - 166.131 / 1.144.490
11/06/08 [NDS] Kirby Super Star Ultra (Nintendo) - 265.654 / 1.157.813
10/14/10 [WII] Kirby's Epic Yarn (Nintendo) - 92.280 / 92.280

These Kirby comparisons aren't entirely valid, in my opinion. If you look at that list, and take away the portable Kirby titles and simply examine Kirby's console counterparts, namely Air Ride and K64, you are left with sales numbers that can't be taken at face value. In 2000 and 2003, games were very different - the market was different, the standards were different, and quite frankly GAMERS were different. In 2000, games, typically, weren't selling 1.5 million copies within their first week of release (i.e. the newest Medal of Honor). At the turn of the decade, that number would have been absolutely staggering. Nowadays, we expect to see those numbers because of the influx in those who play games and also the genre in which the majority of gamers tend to favor.

KEY has been released at one of the strangest times in gaming history. It's been released on a console that is far too often overlooked by most of the gaming populace, it has adopted 2D graphics (albeit the graphics and art style are top notch) at a time where a game is heavily praised for boundary-pushing 3D graphics, and, in a world where 20+ hours is normal game-length, it is short but priced at the standard $50. With that being said, Kirby, relative to its time, has sold really well. When I see sales numbers or people who want to prove that the game ISN'T selling well (mind you, I'm not saying that's what anyone here is trying to do here), I can't help but shake my head in disappointment at the fact that people are failing to take into consideration a wealth of extraneous variables that have undeniable effects on a game's sales performance.

That aside, I'm interested in seeing how Kirby has faired here in the states as the initial numbers I've seen have been pretty impressive.

Last I checked most games are in the 6-8 hour bracket while costing 60$.

*blinks*

If I'm not mistaken, Modern Warfare 2 sold a whopping 9,000 or so copies on the PS3 in Japan in its first week of release by Square-Enix. Medal of Honor, a game that's even more pro-American and was localize by a Western company, actually sold more in Japan? :confused; I'm just astonished.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 27, 2010, 02:29:40 PM: MW2 also came out a year ago and the PS3 has been selling a lot more this year than it had previously been selling. So...it makes total sense.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on October 27, 2010, 02:56:51 PM: Agreed. The PS3 has built up a lot of momentum, and it is consistently outselling the Wii in Japan. It now has 10 games on the charts which is amazing compared to where it was a year or more ago.

I'm not going to say the Wii "is doomed" but clearly Nintendo needs to be trying harder than it has to date. It seems like they've been slacking since day one with getting Wii games developed and released, but that strategy isn't working anymore. The quality of Wii games is there, but the quantity is not...

The Wii has the same number of Nintendo-published retail titles as the GameCube after four years, and it has a lot more if you include WiiWare. Look harder.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on October 28, 2010, 09:52:37 AM: I know it has more than the GC, but the GC had far from enough either so saying the Wii has more isn't necessarily saying much. The problem is the 3rd party support is hardly there at all, and Nintendo should have known this and doubled or even tripled their own 1st and 2nd party efforts in order to fill the void. They have all this money now so buying or creating new studios to get more games pumped out is something they should have done a couple years ago, but they didn't.

Unfortunately, now its catching up with them. The Wii is losing steam while at the same time the PS3 is gaining it. It never should have gotten to this point, because Nintendo should have been doing everything they could to increase the Wii's library so that it could have as many titles on the chart as the competition. Their mistake was they counted on 3rd parties to do that for them, and now they're paying the price because 3rd parties never backed the Wii even though it was so popular for so long. Now the popularity is fading and what is left for the Wii now? I see tons of titles coming to 360/PS3 but not to the Wii. This shouldn't have been allowed to happen.

Nintendo takes it's time on it's games, it's been like that forever and its up to other companies to fill the void. It's not like at any given moment a company just has nothing to do. No doubt they work like animals, and when that project is done they work some more. Having more 1st and 2nd party games is obviously a great solution, but really it can't always be the best solution. If we got 1.5 times more the 1st and 2nd party games chances are there would be dips in quality.

Nintendo's latest half-year earnings show a net loss of $25m; the first loss in ovrer seven years...

Nintendo's earnings for the six months leading up to September showed a net loss of just over 2 billion yen ($25 million). Sales fell by over 33 percent to 363.2 billion yen. In the same period a year ago, the company enjoyed a net profit of almost 70 billion yen. However, Nintendo still forecasts a full-year net profit of 90 billion yen.

The slump is attributed to a number of factors, including an unusually strong yen - up to a fifteen year high against the dollar - and waning sales of the Wii and DS consoles, most likely due to a relative lack of system-selling software.

The company's yearly earnings will also no doubt be affected by the delayed release of the 3DS, now set to miss the holiday period across the world.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on October 28, 2010, 04:54:45 PM: I'm shocked that Nintendo is losing money. This doesn't make much sense at all, and I can't explain it... so I don't know what to say. The only thing I can think of is that when they cut the price of the Wii from $249 to $199 that might have brought to the point where they were suffering a loss with each unit sold, but I don't know if that's true or not.

It isn't true, the Wii has a really high mark-up so Nintendo makes a lot of profit on it. This is just one example of why Nintendo can't go around buying up game companies, they need to be prepared for possible losses.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on October 29, 2010, 01:01:41 AM: I'm pretty sure at one point Nitnendo was making close to if not more than $100 per Wii sold at $249.99
I'm sure they are still making close to those margins($60-$80) at $199.99 now too.

What Nintendo doesn't seem to get though is that they could probably boost hardware sales again if they just allowed you to transfer your Wii account to a new Wii and started offering Wii's with much bigger internal storage. 4GB internal flash would cost them a few dollars at most per unit. I'm sure plenty of you could justify selling your old Wii off to buy a new one if these changes were made.

Super Mario Collection sold more than Kirby Epic Yarn and Metroid Other M combined. I hope Nintendo doesn't get the wrong impression from this...

It already got the impression from the sales of the NSMB games. That's why SMC even exists. It doesn't matter how bored Miyamoto is with 2D Mario, it's still more popular.

Alright, but what is the reason why they're losing money? They are the market leader and have tons of multi-million sellers on both the handheld and console markets, so how can they be losing money? The GC was profitable in all except one quarter, and the GC had no where near the popularity of the Wii, so how could it have been profitable but Nintendo is losing money in this quarter? It doesn't make sense. They're not selling their systems at a loss, and the games are selling well.... so what gives?

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on October 30, 2010, 08:31:56 PM: Well, Nintendo's loss was from currency exchange, whereas Sony was still able to turn a profit. Clearly this means Nintendo's stronger in the larger overseas markets and is therefore in a better position than Sony.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on October 30, 2010, 11:38:49 PM: It makes sense. The PS3 has trailed for 4 straight years now, so it has plenty of ways it can (and has) gained momentum and provided a profit for Sony. Meanwhile, after so much success and breaking sales records, Nintendo have nowhere to go but down. They're still likely going to post a profit on the year though, so it really isn't an issue.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on October 31, 2010, 01:35:47 AM: I was hoping the Wii would catch up to the PS2. You can't say it has nowhere to go but down because it hasn't reached that milestone yet... the PS2 did, so it could be done.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on October 31, 2010, 07:39:22 AM: We won't see the Wii hit PS2 levels until after the next Nintendo system at the earliest if even at all. The PS2 sold well during the opening years of the PS3. If the Wii2 is a big enough hit then we won't see the same thing happen to the original Wii.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on October 31, 2010, 05:26:08 PM: The Wii was selling at a faster rate than the PS2 did, so yes, I can say that. If you look at the Sony numbers posted, the PS2 shipped about 47 million units after the PS3 launched. The only way the Wii will outsell the PS2 is if either Nintendo doesn't release a new system for five more years, or they put out a ridiculously expensive system with features that the average consumer doesn't care about. The former sounds more plausible.

That really depends on what Nintendo decides to do with the Wii 2. If they make something along the lines of the 3DS, with a mass market gimmick, but mostly catering to gamers, and at a higher price, I could definitely see a budget-priced Wii continuing to sell very well to casuals.

You have to also remember that a lot of those PS2s were 2nd and 3rd systems for some people as their's either broke or they wanted to switch to the slim system. Since the Wii has an account assigned to each specific Wii, there is no real incentive for people to buy a new system outside of those that don't buy WiiWare/VC games.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on November 01, 2010, 09:54:52 PM: I have a feeling that the number of people who purchased a replacement system is negligible, it's just something people say to make excuses. Besides, it isn't like people haven't bought new Wii systems when theirs broke; just ask around this forum and you'll find some people who purchased more than one system.

How a system sold is irrelevant to the numbers. If you want to talk userbase, that's a different topic.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on November 02, 2010, 02:53:50 PM: I think it's bigger than you think, especially with the 360. There were a lot of people who didn't realize that the warranty was 3 years on that system. So they would buy a new one.
With the PS2, launch systems were known to die within 3-4 years, right around the time the PS2 cost about $150 on store shelves. So either send it in to Sony to fix for $150 or buy a newer, more reliable system for the same price. I'm guessing a lot of people went with the latter option. A lot of people also replaced their PS2 when the Slim model came out.
I would not be surprised if a lot of people are replacing their 360s again with the new slim model out.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on November 02, 2010, 07:20:28 PM: It's still conjecture and speculation unless you have some numbers to support your claims. All systems have failure rates and repeat buyers, so in the end I think it all evens out. Besides, since we're simply talking sales numbers and not userbase, I'm not sure what your point is.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on November 03, 2010, 07:22:34 PM: Now the PS3 is selling over twice as many units per week as the Wii. Is anyone still saying this isn't something to worry about? It looks like the PS3 is on track to beat the Wii in YTD sales. Granted, the Wii will still have the lead in LTD sales, but if this trend continues long enough even that lead will be gone.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on November 03, 2010, 11:18:04 PM: They don't need further justification. They already stopped caring, and the ones that are still there care a hell of a lot more about the sales of their own games than further sales of the hardware.

To be fair, my charts were in regards to the idea of Sony having 44% of the market and Nintendo only having 16%.

Anywhoo, slightly related news... we got the Red Wiis in today.... do want. :(

I see your point; if Nintendo doesn't fix this situation, third parties may stop putting real effort into Wii titles.

I applaud you for that excellent piece of sarcasm, and it did make me laugh. However, Brandogg does have a point... because as bad as third party support for the Wii is, it still could get worse. At least the Wii is getting some quality exclusives like Epic Mickey and so forth, which is something we didn't see much of on the GC. If developer confidence in the Wii were to drop bad enough we would not only see an absence of the Wii exclusives, but we would probably also see the loss of more multiplatform support as well, because it is a well known fact that porting a title for the Wii involves more effort than to the 360/PS3/PC and the only reason why a lot of developers are investing the effort in that is precisely because of the Wii's popularity which makes it worth the effort. But that could change over time... its fine for the moment, but if this continues over a period of months its going to be very damaging to the market's confidence in the Wii.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on November 04, 2010, 01:02:54 AM: I really don't think they care that much about the month-to-month sales of the console at this point. Their decisions about Wii support are based on how well their Wii games have sold, not the hardware.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on November 04, 2010, 01:41:55 AM: I think 3rd party support is actually getting better. We got feature and release parity on CoD Black Ops. Goldeneye is turning out to be a top notch shooter exclusively for Wii. We also have Epic Mickey. Don't forget that the flagship SKU for Guitar Hero titles is the Wii as well.

It's not the best support in a long shot but it is better than even a year ago (delayed titles like Modern Warfare, gimped versions, no releases on Wii, ports of old games...NPC titles... ;) ).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on November 04, 2010, 12:47:19 PM: Even the Gamecube regularly got quality exclusives from third parties. Just because the Wii has fallen in monthly sales doesn't mean the token exclusives will go away.

It's still conjecture and speculation unless you have some numbers to support your claims. All systems have failure rates and repeat buyers, so in the end I think it all evens out. Besides, since we're simply talking sales numbers and not userbase, I'm not sure what your point is.
It's all about the sales numbers. We were never talking about userbase. Why are you trying to flip this around? PS2 sold around 150 million consoles. A good number of those were second or third systems. With the Wii, a lot less are second systems. The PS2 did not have an account assigned to it like the Wii. With the Wii, there is an account assigned to it and so buying a new system means leaving your account behind. So there's less likelyhood that a person would buy a second Wii. So the Wii won't have many more sales like the the PS2 due to less people wanting or needing a second system. That is why the Wii will never surpass the PS2's sales.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on November 05, 2010, 11:27:47 PM: I believe a major part of the controversy over PS2's "shipped" numbers was not just that people were buying second and third systems, it was that Sony was counting replacement systems in their "shipped" numbers.

That would mean that 1 person could buy a single PS2, it would break, most likely from DRE and they would ship it out to Sony who would then send out a replacement unit in it's place and count that as another unit shipped. it might break again and then rinse wash repeat.
Magically you have an extra 30+% added to your total units shipped over the last 8-10 years.

I thought you were trying to turn this around. Why a system sells doesn't really matter, the PS2 still has 150 million. I think that the number of replacement PS2 systems bought is negligible in the big picture, and that quite a few people also bought more than one Wii. Can these claims be substantiated? No more or less than your claims, so it's all conjecture. It's just people making excuses, trying to devalue the sales numbers of the PS2.

I think 3rd party support is actually getting better. We got feature and release parity on CoD Black Ops. Goldeneye is turning out to be a top notch shooter exclusively for Wii. We also have Epic Mickey. Don't forget that the flagship SKU for Guitar Hero titles is the Wii as well.

It's not the best support in a long shot but it is better than even a year ago (delayed titles like Modern Warfare, gimped versions, no releases on Wii, ports of old games...NPC titles... ;) ).
COD3 and COD WAW both essentially launched with all of the other console versions as well (COD3 was a Wii launch title, so it was off a little bit), I think this has more to do with Treyarch than anything else...and Guitar Hero is a sinking ship.

Post by: Mop it up on November 06, 2010, 12:43:31 AM: I think the Wii has better third-party support than the GameCube did. I was trying to think of third-party exclusives on the GameCube that I liked, and I can't even think of any I played. On the Wii I can think of at least ten third-party exclusives I've enjoyed, and there are probably some I'm forgetting.

Plus the Wii hasn't seen a proper hardware revision, which the PS2 did. The only thing that's ever changed about the Wii console since its launch is that Nintendo added a few new colors, but that's it. There's no new and improved "slim" model or anything like that. There are some people who would buy a new console just to get it in their favorite color, but I think for the most part most consumers who already owned a white Wii console would probably just stick with that versus spending $200 just on a color change...

But I don't really know all that was changed from the original PS2 to the one Sony released later on which was a good deal smaller. Being smaller was a plus, but didn't it also add in some new features or something?

The slim included the Ethernet plug as standard. So it was internet ready out of the box. Even came with a disc and manual to help you get it online. I never used it since it none of those titles interested me on the system. I don't think it came with an HDD.

That sucks... sounds kinda like how the DSi dropped support for Guitar Hero, which needed the GBA slot for the Fret peripheral. I guess the lesson here is revisions aren't always for the best.

When Sony created the PS2 slim they basically turned it into a PS1 in aesthetic terms. The PS2 did not have a cooling fan because the components did not generate as much heat as the older PS2. Iam not sure how often the PS2 slim over heated, but I have heared that they are pretty durable by word of mouth.

I remember some concerns about this cropping up. Mine can get pretty hot. I don't remember how hot my original PS2 got so I don't have a frame of reference for comparison though.

Hey Sega, remember when your then unempolyed(?) Sega of America PR dumbasses said Platinum games were best suited to only the PS3/360 audiences? Kirby's Epic Yarn is beating this game in Japan.

I want to laugh, or be depressed. I can't decide which one I want to be.

As a Nintendo fan I've been feeling that way for the last 10 years or so. 3rd party support is a joke, but at the same time its also depressing because unfortunately that joke is on us.

Quote
Fils-Aime cited NPD Group figures which said Nintendo has so far sold 43.1 million Nintendo DS hardware units and 30.4 million Wiis in the U.S. alone. The Xbox 360 trails in U.S. sales with 21.9 million units, while the PSP has 17.7 million sales and the PlayStation 3 has 13.5 million sales in the country. The exec added that the Wii Balance Board sold 12 million units since its 2008 launch alongside Wii Fit.

Dayuuuum!!!!

PS3 has a 2 year headstart and only a 1.5 million unit lead in the US? I'm surprised there isn't more support for Balance board games over expensive PS3 games....

but let me summarize that for easy reading: (all in millions)
NDS - 43.1
WII - 30.4
360 - 21.9
PSP - 17.7
PS3 - 13.5
WBB - 12

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on November 12, 2010, 10:21:43 PM: Nintendo should be more aggressively pushing the balance board. Its selling mainly to people wanting to get fit, but it has a lot more potential than as a digital exercise machine. If you think about it, the balance board (if used in conjuction with the wiimote and/or chuck) has the same sort of capabilities as Kinect, and came out well before Kinect did so it has a good start.

I just don't think Nintendo is making as good of use out of it as they could. The balance board is something that can still set Nintendo apart from Sony's Move imitator. So far the balance board hasn't been stolen by anyone, so its still a Nintendo innovation. But where are the games for it?

Sad to see Kirby's Epic Yarn and Vanquish not making it in to the top ten. I guess it was to be expected.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on November 16, 2010, 11:36:29 PM: Also of note is Wii Party not making it. It was a hit in Japan but I figured it'd sell more like Wii Music here in North America, and it looks like I was right.
Title: Re: NPD October 2010
Post by: broodwars on November 16, 2010, 11:50:06 PM: I wonder how much the new NPD combining all these different versions of these games had to do with some notable games being excluded from the list. I'm surprised and sad to not see Castlevania: Lords of Shadow get in the Top 10 (really, it didn't even crack 225,000 units sold between 2 platforms?), because it is an awesome game. I also thought Vanquish might have had a chance to crack the Top 10, though I guess it's to be expected that it missed the Top 10. I'm also very surprised to see NBA 2K11 of all games at #1, though I gather that having so many versions of the game (and Michael Jordan) certainly helped.

As for Kirby, no one expected that game would sell well, though I'm happy that Nintendo took a chance on it.

Castlevania Lord of Shadow was likely too much of a departure for most from what they are used to with a Castlevania game and that likely hurt sales. You are right though, this list is kind of silly since they combine multiplatform games together which artificially boosts ranks of games. With Kirby, that could very likely turn into a game that is a slow burn title as word of mouth spreads. Just hope DKC:R does well this month!
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on November 17, 2010, 12:14:01 PM: Slow burn games might generate revenue, but it does look bad psychologically speaking when Nintendo's A+ material fails to get into the top 10 because of a flood of ridiculous sports crap that is actually nothing more than a roster upgrade, yet it is packaged and sold as if it were a brand new game. That's how it is with the NBA game, the Madden game, the FIFA game, and yes even the WWE Smackdown vs. Raw games.

All of those games are basically the exact same thing as their 2010 predecessors, but now with a new and improved 2011 rooster update. Maybe a few other minor tweaks here and there as well, but does it justify a new game when whatever is changed could have just been offered by a patch or DLC instead? It seems like a ripoff to me, but of course I don't buy sports games (mainly for that reason).

But I'm just ranting because it pisses me off that this is what comprises the monthly Top 10, but then a quality original game like Kirby is nowhere to be seen.

And speaking of sports games, why isn't NBA Jam in the top 10? Unlike the other sports games, this actually wasn't a mere roster upgrade, but something that hasn't been seen in many years so therefore its new. It just doesn't seem right to me.

Yeah, those roster update sports games will probably drop off the top 10 next month, but we go through this same damn generic crap every month. The more things change the more they stay the same. You know, its like every month the sales charts get a "roster update", but where's the beef? Next month its going to be some other generic crap in the Top 10, while meanwhile Kirby will be slowburning somewhere below the Top 10. Kirby will outlast the roster updates, and will be very profitable for Nintendo... but like I said, psychologically speaking it just doesn't look right for it to not be on the top 10, ever.

It's a pretty full-fledged game, and a quality one at that with lots of features. It's also the start of the NBA Season, so of course it sold better across 6 platforms than a cutsy Kirby Wii game whose biggest claim to fame in its advertisements is how adorable it is. Kirby just doesn't have the nostalgic draw of something like New Super Mario Bros. Wii or even the upcoming Donkey Kong Country Returns. Like I said, I'm curious how this list would have ended up if we were still using the "one SKU, one spot" NPD list.

NBA JAM isn't in the Top 10 because most of its audience is probably waiting for the HD versions that just released.

1. Fallout: New Vegas (360) - 679k

8. Halo: Reach **(360) MICROSOFT - 315k
9. Just Dance 2 (WII) UBISOFT - 286k
10. Kirby' Epic Yarn or Rock Band 3 ~195k?

That's just my guess at what it might look like though.

We also have to remember that Kirby has had a less then impressive showing in the last few games. So it likely has a slight image problem now as well.

Post by: Ian Sane on November 17, 2010, 04:34:17 PM: I think Kirby's Dreamland 3 for the SNES is the most recent Kirby game I own. Even as a Nintendo fan he's never been high on my list of priorities. Epic Yarn is a potential someday kind of purchase. Like I figure it's good and I'll probably like it but there is no urgency for me to buy it right now. I think I'll get it at some point but then, maybe not. Game purchases I put off often never actually happen.

Maybe that's how others see Kirby as well. You know his games are usually good but you don't need them right this second like you do with Mario or Zelda. When a new Mario or Zelda is due to drop we're all buzzing about it on this forum. You never really see that with Kirby.

Post by: Mop it up on November 17, 2010, 06:13:28 PM: Has Kirby ever been a good seller in North America? I don't recall any Kirby game ever being huge, and most of the games are a little hard to find compared to other Nintendo names. Of course, they usually release late in a system's life so the series hasn't really had that much of a chance of becoming popular. It's a shame, because the game's concepts are great and still have a lot of potential.

Post by: Ian Sane on November 18, 2010, 12:20:58 PM: Tony Hawk: Shred gives credibility to my assumption that publishers are greenlighting unneeded and unwanted sequels to give the impression that an unsuccessful IP is popular which may convince you to buy it. "What's this Tony Hawk: Shred? Well I heard that Tony Hawk: Ride was terrible but if it was popular enough to get a sequel then perhaps I was wrong and should buy it." That's how we all think in Activision's fantasy world. DJ Hero 2 is the same idea (though I heard the first DJ Hero is a good game).

Assassin's Creed and Killzone were considered disappointments but sequels were made anyway and they were quite successful. Even Nintendo is talking about a Wii Music sequel. This is the new strategy.

The game was **** on by critics and I've never ever met anyone who played it who thought it was a good game. So I figured it would not have sold particularly well. But 8 million copies? Holy ****!

I guess that was more the Red Steel routine where the first game was crap but sells huge and then the sequel is actually a good game.

When it comes down to it, what they say about a game is just their own opinion, and the only thing that sets their opinion apart from the opinion of everyone else is that they happen to get paid for it. Doesn't mean theirs is more valid, though.

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/6210/npd_behind_the_numbers_october_.php

and I found one part of it very interesting(I only skimmed the pics :D), especially since we been debating on whether Wii is in need of a replacement like the DS

vs
(http://imgur.com/2XTgT.png)

Both Sony and MS are having the best hardware years ever so far and Nintendo need to have a record setting Nov. and a trick play in Dec. just to keep them from being significantly down YoY. normally YoY wouldn't be that big of a deal, but they competition is seeing a YoY increase in sales and in the case of the 360 have even outsold the Wii YTD. Now holiday sales could swing YTD back in Nintendo's favor, but it's still a downward trend that is only more likely to get gonna get worse next year.

and for those that say the DS was still selling good. It is from a hardware perspective, but software was looking pretty bad. Not pathetic like PSP selling on a PS2 level bad, but way down from it's peak of several years ago.
(http://imgur.com/3Z6Wg.png)

Assuming Wii doesn't have the most spectacular Holiday sales ever, then we know it's already sliding down from it's peak and Nintendo will need to do something major to slow this downward trend if they want to keep the Wii around till Xmas 2012 and not see software revenue continue to swirl down the drain (Nintendo lost just as much software revenue as MS & Sony gained).

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on November 19, 2010, 04:42:06 PM: BlackNMild, you should throw those charts into the Wii 2 thread. They show that the Wii has peaked while the PS3 and Xbox 360 are still growing. Now that the Wii has peaked it is time to consider the next generation. Meanwhile the PS360 trends fit the idea of those consoles having a long shelf life and even their motion controllers acting as their next gen.

Post by: Killer_Man_Jaro on November 20, 2010, 03:48:05 AM: Looks like Goldeneye is doing okay in the UK charts. Not brilliantly, but this is the most competitive time of year for new game releases, so it's not bad either. If the name alone had a significant influence, then I would expect Donkey Kong Country Returns to reach a higher bar. Hugely successful in the past over here and the character himself is perhaps relevant to a broader audience because of all his appearances in extraneous games.

Again, it's the exact same game. Yet they stupidly bundle two different Pokemon games.
Yeah, I don't agree with that choice either. Who knows what methodology they use to determine what gets tracked separately and what they group together, but I have a feeling it involves darts.

I think there were more than one bundle, but that could have been last week.
I know they just released a Pink PSP, Blue & White PSP and a Black & Red PSP

but, This week could have been the black and gold PSP with 2 grips, an extra large battery, concave analog nubs and MH3p insignia on the back.

edit:
released this week

There is a substantial U.S. military presence in Okinawa. I'm sure they made up at least some of the Black Ops purchases.

Especially because the game itself is in English, right? The charts call it "Subtitled Edition", so I'm guessing the voices are still in the original English but with Japanese subtitles. That means Americans stationed in Japan would have no problem playing it.

Especially because the game itself is in English, right? The charts call it "Subtitled Edition", so I'm guessing the voices are still in the original English but with Japanese subtitles. That means Americans stationed in Japan would have no problem playing it.
That's correct. There is a "Dubbed Edition" being released in a couple of weeks (still not on Wii).

Press Release Source: Nintendo On Monday November 29, 2010, 9:03 am EST
REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- When confronted with a wide range of Black Friday retail options, U.S. holiday shoppers again turned to Nintendo. Nintendo sold 900,000 combined units in the Nintendo DS™ family of systems and 600,000 Wii™ consoles between Sunday, Nov. 21, and Saturday, Nov. 27, according to the company’s internal sales estimates.

“U.S. shoppers bought about 9,000 Nintendo hardware systems nonstop for every hour of every day during the week of Black Friday,” said Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. “For the past several years, consumers have decided that Nintendo defined both top value and all-inclusive entertainment, and that sentiment continues again at the start of this shopping season.”

DS is down from last year, but the Wii is up a little

Black Friday Week 2009
DS: 1 million
Wii: 550k

Once-hot Nintendo Wii now struggling for sales
The video-game console has fallen to No. 3 from No. 1 in U.S. sales this year, and two game makers say they'll focus on competitors. But the company's U.S. chief insists there's still a significant market.

Post by: Shaymin on November 30, 2010, 08:37:56 AM: I love the example they cited for low Wii sales is a mon-n-pop located right next to a (relatively large) Radio Shack in a strip mall. (http://i1037.photobucket.com/albums/a458/resusuomynona/nextgengaming.jpg)

Also, in terms of consoles, it's 2nd at worst and probably first for the year. Why do I expect better from the MSM...

New Super Mario Bros. Wii Tops Four Million
First quadruple platinum title for Wii, reports Enterbrain.

Wii has had a few triple platinum titles. But a quadruple platinum title? That honor eluded the system, until this week.

Famitsu.com reports today that New Super Mario Bros. Wii has crossed the 4 million mark in domestic sales. Enterbrain's latest sales results put the game at 4,001,276 units as of Sunday.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii became the Wii's best selling game back in March as it closed in on the 3.5 million mark. It is now the system's first game to cross the four million mark.

The feat comes just ahead of the game's December 3 one year anniversary.

That makes for 16.7 Million Units sold WW as of the end of September 2010.

It disappoints me that a game that (IMO) bland has sold that much on the platform when there are so many better games on it, especially this year. Hopefully (though not likely) DKCR surpasses it.

Post by: Mop it up on November 30, 2010, 10:56:39 PM: I think it's great to see, I'd be disappointed if it weren't selling. New Super Mario Brothers Wii is a fun game that anyone can play, and it's also a perfect family game, I've not come across anyone who didn't want to try it out. That's more than I can say for something like Donkey Kong Country Returns, which really only appeals to fans of that series.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on December 01, 2010, 09:43:32 AM: I would be shocked if DKCR makes it to 1 million in Japan (although I hope it will), and there isn't a snowball's chance in hell of it reaching 16 million worldwide. I like the series, I just don't see it doing well enough to pass a juggernaut like NSMBW.

NSMBW is a fun game, that is one of the reasons it has done so well.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on December 01, 2010, 11:44:51 AM: NSMBW is bland compared to its predecessors, SMW and SMB3 but those were over a decade ago, now people are just hungry for anything like that. It'd probably have sold even more had it been on par with SMB3.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on December 01, 2010, 12:58:32 PM: NSMB Wii just kills NSMB for the DS. The DS game was bland and uninteresting. I thought the Wii game felt much more legitimate, like it was a real entry in the 2D Mario series and not just a nostalgia game. It isn't SMW or SMB3 good but the Super Mario Galaxy games are the only Wii games I can think of where Nintendo topped the previous entries in a franchise. NSMB Wii didn't have to be the best 2D Mario game, just something I felt was on par with the rest of the series and it was.

Though I think NSMB Wii works really well as a single player game. The whole hook was supposed to be the multiplayer but I found that the more people were playing the worse the game got. It turned into this sort of random chaos where luck is valued more than skill. It reminded me a lot of why I don't like Mario Kart anymore. Nintendo seems to think that this sort of thing is great for bringing together people of all skill levels but I find it just punishes good players. Though that multiplayer I hate is probably why the game sold so huge.

Post by: Stratos on December 02, 2010, 09:04:06 AM: DKCR's sales probably will depend on how fun the game is in multiplayer. If it can channel the NSMBWii multiplayer fun just right then it will catch on.

I'm hoping the next DKCR will include a 4-player mode. I've been wanting that since the N64 days.

Yikes! I believe Graces F did better in its first week than Graces did in its lifetime.

It's a really bad sign of what could happen with The Last Story, that's for sure. I don't like our chances of getting these Wii JRPGs here in North America if they're not even selling in Japan.

On the bright side, I wonder if this means we'll see the PS3 version of Graces here in North America. Unfortunately, Namco-Bandai is so random with which Tales titles they'll bring over.

Actually if The Last Story does poorly in Japan that would probably increase it's chances of localization. Nintendo is a company that likes to make money off their investments and considering the huge amount of money Nintendo is putting into this game, Iwata is going to want every sale he can get. This is the same reason why I'm still expecting Xenoblade to still make it here as well and since it's still listed on NOA's release list as Monando, that still a good sign.

NOA has never not published a big budget Nintendo game before. Of course that's because all of Nintendo's big budget titles are usually Mario, Zelda, Smash Bros, or Metroid related. But even though these are both new IP's, I still don't see NOA refusing to publish them since I imagine Iwata is going to force them considering the amount of money he spent on both.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on December 09, 2010, 01:41:08 AM: I think that whether or not The Last Story and/or XenoBlade are released in North America will depend on what else Nintendo have planned for 2011. If they don't have anything else to fill the release schedule leading up to Zelda, then they will probably use the RPGs to fill the spots.

I'm disappointed that DKCR sold as low as it apparently did, though with all these multiplatform games being combined now we don't know how well it really did). It's a great game, probably my Wii Game of the Year.

Post by: Mop it up on December 09, 2010, 07:57:54 PM: I'm glad to see Donkey Kong Country Returns in the top ten, especially considering its limited appeal. It was available for only five days of tracking so that makes it all the more impressive. I wonder what the actual number is, though.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Manthony Chopkins on December 09, 2010, 08:05:47 PM: Wow at the PS3's hardware numbers...at least they announced Uncharted 3 today.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on December 09, 2010, 08:30:03 PM: Also, Kinect is the top-selling accessory for November. Over/under 44.5% of those buyers bought it for Christmas and are in for a shock when it doesn't fit into their living room?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: UncleBob on December 09, 2010, 08:42:24 PM: Wait - Wii Fit Plus is in the top ten, and that *doesn't* include versions bundled with the Balance Board? Wow.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on December 09, 2010, 09:01:04 PM: No, I think by "hardware" it just means game systems. It says it includes bundles, so I take that to mean the Balance Board accessory bundle. It's hard to say, though.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on December 09, 2010, 09:35:44 PM: The important thing to take from those hardware numbers is that after a somewhat weak year, Wii sales are up slightly from November of last year. That's a lot more significant than the 360 beating it, especially in Nintendo's eyes.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on December 09, 2010, 10:50:19 PM: But sadly for Nintendo, 360 is still up YTD for 2010

also looks like DKCR sold 430.5k this month in those 5 days.
could be a really good Dec for that game.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on December 09, 2010, 11:05:03 PM: Nintendo shouldn't care that the 360 is up, though. It's not going to have any effect on them.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on December 09, 2010, 11:09:45 PM: Skimming through some NPD data I came across an individual SKU list for Nov. NPD that I slightly modified.

01.) [360] Call of Duty Black Ops
02.) [PS3] Call fo Duty Black Ops
03.) [360] Assassin's Creed Brotherhood ~800k
04.) [Wii] Just Dance 2
05.) [360] Fable III
06.) [Wii] Donkey Kong Country Returns 430.5k
07.) [PS3] Gran Turismo 5
08.) [PS3] Assassin's Creed Brotherhood ~340k (1.14M - ~800k)
09.) [Wii] Wii Fit Plus
10.) [360] Halo Reach

The order may not be correct, but those are the games that made the Top 10

Why? Except for Fable 3 all those games above DKCR are multiplatform (well except for Just Dance 2, but that game is selling to the casual gamers). So Fable 3 and DKCR are single platform releases and are one and two respectively when it comes to traditional games. From what I've read DKCR sold around 400k. Also it was released November 21st, so I'm not sure how that is doing anywhere close to badly or disappointing. Also take into consideration that Fable 3 was released in late october, chances are it will quickly tumble since it has gotten most of its sales already while DKCR will likely sell pretty consistently.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on December 10, 2010, 03:28:21 PM: Multiplatform can't be a scape goat. Codblops for 360 sold more than any other game in the top 10. 430,500 for Donkey Kong is quite impressive if you ask me, especially since that's only a week's worth of sales.

My guess is that it will be just as high if not higher when December NPDs come out. Really I think there is little doubt the game will be a hit. Maybe not NSMB Wii type of hit, but still a million seller.

Oh it'll definitely be a million seller in North America by the end of December. Every single major Nintendo November release for the Wii has increased it's sales in December.

Twilight Princes in 2006

November - 412K
December - 532.9K

Mario Galaxy in 2007

November - 1.12 million
December - 1.40 Million

Animal Crossing in 2008

November - Somewhere between 184k - 297k
December - 497K

New Super Mario Bros Wii in 2009

November - 1.39 million
December - 2.82 million

So yeah, based on how well all of Nintendo's other November titles have done Donkey Kong will have no problem crossing the one or even two million mark in North America by the end of the year.

Post by: KDR_11k on December 12, 2010, 02:44:37 AM: Remember that Nintendo games aren't as front-loaded with their sales so they won't go quite as high as other games in their first week but they'l stay around for much longer.

Problem is that that 1 is the only thing keeping the PSP alive. If Nintendo would jsut go for the throat and moneyhat some MH love for the DS, then the PSP would've been dead a while ago. What would be even better is if Nintendo secured some MHp3D for the 3DS instead.

Post by: Mop it up on December 15, 2010, 08:28:21 PM: Even more importantly, the XBox 360 isn't out of the race against the DSi LL, and might pass it back up after the 3DS hits and the DSi LL goes off the market.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on December 15, 2010, 09:18:46 PM: I don't know about that*, but the 360 should rest easy knowing that it's got a substantial lead on the PSPgo that it's not likely to ever lose.

*The 360 would have to sell 150% of everything it's sold this year just to be close to catching up.

I agree. As popular as the DS has been in Japan the last few years, I don't get why Capcom hasn't brought the MH franchise to it. Moneyhats or not.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on December 17, 2010, 12:45:34 PM: Money is money. If Capcom can make big money with MH on the PSP, why do they need to put it on the DS? Yeah it is the more popular handheld but if you can make a good sized profit on another system you don't HAVE to support the market leader. There might be other factors involved, like how the PSP has much more powerful hardware.

EA's CEO believes Nintendo needs a price cut.

Quote

I think they’ve now got competition, in the form of gesture-based gaming from Sony and Microsoft. If they were to find ways to promote third-party content better, as opposed to first-party content, and would hit pricing, I think the platform would see new life

I think it’s a frustration for all third-party publishers, when a platform holder does less to promote third-party content. A great third-party company is Apple, a company that’s all third-party content. There’s often tension in a company between first- and third-party content. Nintendo’s unique in the world. They’re a great company because of the blend of first- and third-party content. First-party hardware, first-party content is what makes them great, but it’s actually pretty tough. I can come up with a dozen titles in the last decade, but it’s really tough to come up with a dozen great titles that have been platform defining for them that weren’t their own. I don’t care whether it’s Mario or Twilight Princess or GoldenEye; it was their own content. I’m going back to N64, and I can go back to SNES if you want, but they’ve never really been a heavy third-party supporting system. It’s not lack of trying; they start the morning thinking what’s best for their own intellectual property

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on December 17, 2010, 02:11:53 PM: After Dead Space Extraction and NBA Jam, EA is one of the last companies to be blaming Nintendo about their games not selling. After giving the system a spinoff that nobody wanted and announcing that a Wii game will be getting a superior HD port released only one month after the Wii version should pretty much show them why they're games fail.

Not to mention doing everything they could to sabotage their sports games on the Wii by constantly changing the gameplay and then releasing that All Play crap that basically made the games look inferior to all the other systems, didn't help either. When the PS2 versions of Madden are still outselling the Wii versions, that shows EA f*cked up bigtime.

There's a reason why EA's best selling games on the Wii were Tiger Woods Golf and Bloom Blocks. Because those were the only games they actually put effort and quality as well as games that appealed to an audience on the Wii and as a result, these games actually got good sales. Everything else they've released is either an inferior version of an HD game, or a spinoff that there was no audience for and as a result these games got poor sales.

Not really rocket science to see why EA isn't getting big sales on the Wii.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Killer_Man_Jaro on December 17, 2010, 06:08:48 PM: Part of it comes down to publishers having different ideas of what sales numbers equal a commercial success. In the days of multi-million blockbusters, 100,000 copies sold looks pretty unimpressive, but that's moderately successful really. Most projects would easily break even on 100,000 units sold, as it's only a minority that need massive sales to account for the abnormal expenditure during development.

Superior hardware to port to. A lot of the content in the Monster Hunter Portable games can be traced back to the PS2 games. With Portable 3rd, I imagine it isn't too much trouble to cram Tri assets in to the PSP. If Capcom were to make a Monster Hunter for DS, they would probably have to make a whole new game from the ground up. Can you really blame Capcom for taking the easy way out?

As an aside, the Monster Hunter Frontier online game for the PC looks like a cleaned up and sharpened PS2 game. I think it looks kinda nice.

It all depends on how much money you want to make. Yeah, its been profitable on the PSP, but do you want to make profit or do you want to make a lot of profit? I would think any company would want to make as much as possible, and the way to do that is target the larger install base.

And as far as "superior" hardware is concerned, the DS has a touchscreen so it is superior in that respect.

Let's say I'm a developer and I want to make a portable game. I want a certain graphic quality for the game and I don't give two shits about touchscreen controls. If I can make a profit making the game I want to make for the PSP, why would I bother with a DS release if I would have to scale down the graphics to do it? It's just that simple.

Regarding EA, they have not done much to win over the Wii userbase. But at the same time they're not wrong about Nintendo's priorities being entirely self-centered. Realistically all parties are at fault. Third parties put in a weak effort but Nintendo doesn't really care about that and makes no real effort to accomodate or encourage them. Wii third party support is a low priority to pretty much everyone who can actually do something about it.

Post by: Guitar Smasher on December 17, 2010, 10:22:22 PM: To be fair to Nintendo, they have made efforts in the past to promote third party content, only to have the third party sabotage the effort (I'm looking at you Capcom 5). And I don't see EA winning any favours from Nintendo after what they pulled with NBA Jam. But to suggest that Nintendo has no interest in third party success is wrong. I seem to remember them releasing a special MH3 bundle, as well as producing a unique gold controller for Goldeneye 007. The lesson here is that legitimate system sellers will get attention from Nintendo.

But this EA guy's attitude seems to be that they should be owed the support. Well I don't know how you get to be a CEO without learning that in business, you don't get any favours without providing something in return. And really, EA's games this gen haven't provided anything substantial for the Wii. They don't make system sellers, with the exception of Madden, and in that case they're only selling the competition's consoles because they were cheap with the Wii version.

What I find most hilarious is his belief that Nintendo should lower the cost of the Wii, so that EA can sell to a larger userbase. I suspect that he thinks that the reduced price will result in more 'multiple-console-owners', however that won't lead to more Wii EA game sales because they design their games such that you're encouraged to buy the PS3/360 version. Here's an idea, if you want to sell more copies, how about you lower the price of your games? Oh right, you want to eat that cake.

The answer is that you wouldn't, but that wasn't his question. He wants to know why if you wanted to maximize your profits, you wouldn't target the largest install base. In your scenario, all you want to do is make the game you want, so long as it turns a profit. Well if you want to make a lot of profit, often you're going to have to make a game that's not exactly your ideal. I imagine that most auto-engineers would prefer to work on Mercedes-type cars, but someone has to make the Camrys. And note that this doesn't preclude the Camry from being a good car, nor something the engineer can be proud of. I imagine this often becomes an issue between the developers and publishers.

EA's CEO believes Nintendo needs a price cut.

Quote
I think they’ve now got competition, in the form of gesture-based gaming from Sony and Microsoft. If they were to find ways to promote third-party content better, as opposed to first-party content, and would hit pricing, I think the platform would see new life

But the Wii already is significantly cheaper than the competition as it is. If you buy a Wii for $199 you get the motion controls immediately. To do so on the competition you have to pay $299 (or get the cheap xbox), and then on top of that you have to plonk down another $100+. So to get the Wii motion option you only have to pay $199 and that's it, but on the other systems its more like $400. That's twice as much, so the Wii is already half as much as the competition as it is.

And as far as the Wii seeing "new life" that depends on companies like EA getting off their ass and actually making games that are worth a crap instead of whining about Nintendo needing to drop the price on a console which is already the cheapest anyway.

"In summary, it would be easy to blame ourselves, but it is even easier to blame Nintendo!"

Same old song and dance we've been hearing for the last 15+ years. Nothing new.

But what really pisses me off is that Nintendo managed to beat the odds and make the most successful system even despite this bullshit, but they never got credit for it. Now, the competition has its own ripoff motion control schemes and Wii sales aren't what they are used to be, so now 3rd parties are coming back out of the woodwork to slam Nintendo once again. When Nintendo does well they ignore them, but when Nintendo is doing not so well they get slammed.

Its like some hero in a story that faces some Herculean task and manages to pull through despite everyone turning their backs on them, but its worse than that because in the stories when the Hero wins he gets praised for it and everyone admits they were wrong about him. But with Nintendo its not like that, because even when they win they don't get credit for it from these assholes.

Higher than the DS, or the white-hot 360? The general rule for most consoles is that December = 2 x November, so are you expecting that the 360 will underperform or that the Wii will overperform?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread

Judging by the amount of systems we sold with the $50, then $75 Gift Card promos. Which was an estimated metric s*** ton.

I hope Ni no Kuni does well in the long run. The chances of its localisations are bleak to say the least, unless Level 5 has unexpected plans for its new Western branches.

I told you all Kirby would have good legs in Japan. It's already on it's way to being one of the more successful Kirby spinoff games, so it'll be interesting to see if it can keep going and reach the numbers of the traditional games.

Because you are not in charge of deciding the company strategy. If the higher ups decide that they will likely see a higher return on investment with a DS game then they will only give you the money if you make a DS game.

However I don't think it's feasible to put MH on the DS, the hardware would probably require some changes to the game design (and if it's just the perspective) which would risk hurting the cash cow that is MH (I'm not convinced that Capcom knows for sure what made MH the success it is so they'll likely avoid changes). Once the 3DS is out you can expect Capcom to throw MH on there as fast as their arms allow.

Post by: broodwars on December 26, 2010, 01:41:24 AM: For those that did not catch this week's GameTrailers Invisible Walls podcast, in a surprising move the host revealed the official NPD Single SKU numbers for November 2010 (something that I'm sure is going to delight NPD since they're going to such lengths to hide these numbers):

Software:

1. Call of Duty Black Ops (360) - 4, 914, 757 units
2. Call of Duty Black Ops (PS3) - 3, 093, 879 units
3. Just Dance 2 (Wii) - 663, 978 units
4. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (360) - 718, 179 units
5. Fable III (360) - 551, 127 units
6. Donkey Kong Country Returns (Wii) - 430, 470 units
7. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (PS3) - 425,293 units
8. Gran Turismo 5 (PS3) - 399, 257 units
9. Halo: Reach (360) - 354, 751 units
10. Wii Fit + w/ Balance Board (Wii) - 353, 085 units

No, the folks at GameTrailers had no idea either why Just Dance 2 was slotted in at the 3rd Best Selling game of the month when it sold less than the "4th" Best Selling Game Assassin's Creed Brotherhood on 360.

Now for the really interesting numbers on Hardware:

GameBoy Advance - 10 units
GameCube - 4 units
Nintendo DS - 1, 508, 176 units
Playstation 2 - 80, 513 units
Playstation 3 - 530, 117 units
Playstation Portable - 288, 587 units
Wii - 1, 270, 192 units
Xbox - 0 units
Xbox 360 - 1, 373, 646 units

Yeah, we knew some of those numbers already, but not numbers this exact. Interesting to see both GBA and GameCube still selling...something, while the PS2 is still selling remarkably for its age and the original Xbox is just dead in the water.

Some other fun sales tidbits:

- Goldeneye (Wii) was #62 on the list of Best Selling games for November. As #41 was the first game on the list to sell less than 100,000 copies, we know Goldeneye sold less than that in its opening sales month. Yet another decent Wii 3rd party title that failed to sell? I certainly hope not.

- Metroid Other M is at supposedly around 300,000 copies sold in North America since launch.

Title: Wii & DS set Sales Records in 2010
Post by: SalesBot on January 04, 2011, 07:41:30 PM: Quote from: Nintendo PR - US
NINTENDO DS AND WII SET NEW U.S. SALES RECORDS IN 2010
Nintendo DS Becomes All-Time Best-Selling Video Game System; Wii Sells More Than 7 Million for Third Consecutive Year

REDMOND, Wash., Jan. 4, 2011 - The close of 2010 produced two sales milestones for Nintendo in the United States.

According to Nintendo's internal sales figures, the Nintendo DS™ family of portable video game systems has sold more than 47 million in the United States since the original model launched in November 2004. That tally makes Nintendo DS the nation's best-selling video game system of all time.

For the second major milestone of 2010, Nintendo's internal figures show that the Wii™ home console marked its third consecutive calendar year with U.S. sales of more than 7 million - a feat never before accomplished in the history of video games by a home console. To date, the Wii system has sold more than 34 million in the United States alone.

"When we look back at 2010, we see consumers time and again turning to the value and enjoyment of our products," said Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. "When we look ahead to 2011, we see new portable technology and more great Wii games that need to be seen to be believed."

Nintendo is set to release its new Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system in the United States in March. The portable system lets players see 3D content - without the need for special glasses. More details about the system will be announced in the future.

Remember that Wii features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about this and other features, visit http://wii.com. For more information about Nintendo, visit http://www.nintendo.com.

About Nintendo: The worldwide pioneer in the creation of interactive entertainment, Nintendo Co., Ltd., of Kyoto, Japan, manufactures and markets hardware and software for its Wii™ home console and Nintendo DS™ family of portable systems. Since 1983, when it launched the Nintendo Entertainment System™, Nintendo has sold more than 3.5 billion video games and more than 577 million hardware units globally, including the current-generation Wii, Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSi™ and Nintendo DSi XL™, as well as the Game Boy™, Game Boy Advance, Super NES™, Nintendo 64™ and Nintendo GameCube™ systems. It has also created industry icons that have become well-known, household names such as Mario™, Donkey Kong™, Metroid™, Zelda™ and Pokémon™. A wholly owned subsidiary, Nintendo of America Inc., based in Redmond, Wash., serves as headquarters for Nintendo's operations in the Western Hemisphere.

NPD Estimates for Dec 2010
Wii > 2.3Million
DS > 3.2Million

Post by: Chozo Ghost on January 04, 2011, 08:18:42 PM: As great as that is, both systems have a long way to go before they can catch up to the PS2 (if that is even possible). Can it happen? Will it happen?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on January 04, 2011, 08:26:22 PM: The DS sold 135.58 million as of September 30, so there is no doubt to me that it will break the PS2's record (the GBA sold over 6 million more systems after the DS came out, so the DS can still sell millions more after 3DS comes out). I think the Wii may do it, assuming Nintendo keep selling it after their next system comes out like Sony did with PS2/PS3.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on January 04, 2011, 08:26:36 PM: DS already did in the US (obviously) and should probably pass the PS2 this year worldwide if it hasn't already.

Wii is probably close to the PS2 numbers (it's sold faster than the PS2 since it debuted), but has to make up quite a bit WW and I can't see the Wii having the PS2's looooooooooong tail.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 05, 2011, 02:44:09 AM: I thought PS2 WW #'s was around 127m-132m and we even debated how many of those were replacement systems since Sony only reports the "Shipped" numbers which (I believe) also included warrantied systems.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on January 05, 2011, 09:23:56 AM: Unfortunately there is no independent source for sales numbers worldwide. The only region that is really open about sales numbers is Japan. Even so, DS could still beat any PS2 number.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on January 05, 2011, 06:50:28 PM: Wikipedia has the PlayStation 2 at 147.6 million units sold worldwide (there are a couple of sources listed, I didn't check them out). So the DS has about 12 million more to go before it can unquestionably surpass the PS2, and until then, we can speculate if those are actually the "shipped" amount and if replacement systems through warranties counted.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Shorty McNostril on January 05, 2011, 06:51:55 PM: 10 bucks says the answer to both those questions is yes.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on January 06, 2011, 12:02:13 PM: PS2 was insanely popular in regions where piracy went undeterred (affordable gaming), and had a relatively better line-up than what the PS3 offers now.

Piracy is exactly what the PS3 needed to take back the console war from Wii and make those analysts' 2012+ sales erection predictions come true.

Has the Wii even sold 100mil systems world wide yet? I don't think so. Otherwise, I would bet Nintendo would put out a press release for that.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 06, 2011, 06:37:47 PM: I think the Wii just crossed into the low 80millions as far as WW unit sales.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on January 06, 2011, 06:41:24 PM: I think Shaymin was talking about the numbers for North America, not worldwide. What are the sales figures for Wii and PS2 only in North America?

EDIT: The Wii number is in that press release so that's easy enough. Wikipedia has a PS2 figure (again, didn't check source), so:

Wii: 34 million
PS2: 50 million

So even in North America alone, the Wii has a long way to go to pass it up.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on January 06, 2011, 06:53:53 PM: It doesn't help matters that the PS2 is still selling a few million per year.

Post by: Ian Sane on January 06, 2011, 07:45:06 PM: Does it really mean jack **** if the Wii or DS outsells the PS2? What matters is how the system is remembered and how beloved the games are years from now. I have fonder memories of the N64 than I do for the PS1. The sales have zero effect on that. The games define the legacy.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 06, 2011, 08:01:43 PM: It's all about who gets mentioned for what when it comes to the record/history books.

When people look back 20 years from now to see what was the best selling console ever before the end of the world in 2012, Does Nintendo really want Sony to take the assumed credit of most influential videogame creator because they sold the most of a single system.

It may not seem all that important now, and it probably won't be all that important later, but I'm sure that when you look back, and look forward, Nintendo would love for you to associate their name synonymously with videogames.

pre-post edit: Woooo!! Wii won the battle of 2010. A come from behind victory in the closing months.
DS lost it's battle though. :( I guess you win some and you lose some, but the 3DS is about a month away in Japan, so it's understandable.

I just want the best selling console of all time to be a Nintendo console. When the PS2 is beaten that will happen, because currently the PS2 holds that title. It matters for fan boy reasons....

Quote from: Ian Sane on January 06, 2011, 07:45:06 PM
What matters is how the system is remembered and how beloved the games are years from now. I have fonder memories of the N64 than I do for the PS1. The sales have zero effect on that. The games define the legacy.

Can't we have both?

Post by: Enner on January 06, 2011, 10:58:47 PM: It is so crazy seeing how much Japan loves Monster Hunter. In a few weeks, it will probably over take New Super Mario Bros. Wii. I think Capcom will be very happy to see Portable 3 get within reaching distance of Pokemon Black & White. I'd be flabbergasted if Portable 3 ever manages to beat Black & White.

PS2 was insanely popular in regions where piracy went undeterred (affordable gaming), and had a relatively better line-up than what the PS3 offers now.

Same goes for the DS.

It's just kinda annoying when everybody points at the PS2 as the best selling game system ever when the numbers are most likely inflated.

But Nintendo didn't ship as many DS units yet.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on January 07, 2011, 03:21:13 AM: When Sony ripped the Emotion chip out of the PS3 I bet that gave some sort of boost to PS2 sales. Although really, for as powerful as the PS3 is (or supposed to be) you'd think Sony could find a way to handle the dinosaur PS2 through software emulation. After all, that is what Microsoft was able to do with many original xbox games on the 360.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Enner on January 07, 2011, 03:40:40 AM: I think they would rather not work out software emulation because they get more licensing money from PS3 games.
Seeing the God of War and Sly collections, I'm betting that they will just resell PS2 games for the PS3 on discs or PSN. I wouldn't mind that since I never had a PS2.

Honestly, I don't mind the collections, either. The Sly Collection was fantastic, and the Team Ico Collection is on my list of must-haves. My only big problem with this strategy is that there are PS2 games I still enjoy playing that are extremely unlikely to get PS3 Collections, like the Persona, Wild ARMs, and Shadow Hearts games. At least it's very likely we'll see a Final Fantasy X Collection. :-\

Post by: Stratos on January 07, 2011, 07:19:20 PM: Just makes me glad I never started buying all the games I wanted to play on the PS2. I either have to hunt down a launch PS3 for the B/C or rebuy the PS3 collections. Its easier to buy collections when you never bought the original.

I think Shaymin was talking about the numbers for North America, not worldwide. What are the sales figures for Wii and PS2 only in North America?

EDIT: The Wii number is in that press release so that's easy enough. Wikipedia has a PS2 figure (again, didn't check source), so:

Wii: 34 million
PS2: 50 million

So even in North America alone, the Wii has a long way to go to pass it up.
FYI, those Wii numbers are USA only. PS2 numbers are North America (Which includes Canada). So the Wii could fathomably be only 10 million away in North America.

Just Dance 2 has sold more than five million units for the Wii since launching last October, according to internal sales data from publisher Ubisoft.

Good point! I hadn't considered that. If Chozo Ghost's comment of the Canadian population is true, then we could assume the Wii has sold in Canada about 1/10 of its US sales, which would add another 3.4 million to its total. North America also includes Mexico, though I have no idea how well systems and games sell there.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on January 12, 2011, 03:17:44 AM: I remember hearing it from watching Red Green. I remember him and Harold were arguing about something or other and that topic came up. I wouldn't put too much stock in it though, seeing as how the show is a comedy and all. But I looked on Wikipedia, and Canada's population is 34 million and the US's population is 308 million, so it turns out he was more or less right.

Interestingly, California's population is 37 million so that one state alone has a larger population than all of Canada.

It also helps that Japan seems to have this thing for Donkey Kong related stuff. Even that crappy CGI cartoon from the late 90s was popular in Japan and had some toy merchandise tied to it. (it also had some famous voice seiyuus in Japan).

More power to Retro!
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on January 12, 2011, 04:20:30 PM: That's because the first Donkey Kong Country was Nintendo's 3rd best selling Super Famicom games with over 3 million copies sold. Not to mention the drop in sales between each new installment was way less in Japan then it was in the rest of the world. Which is why Donkey Kong Country 2 and 3 sold half of their worldwide sales in Japan alone compared to the first one that made most of it's sales thanks America and Europe.

Basically Japan is where the Donkey Kong Country series had the strongest fanbase and so it's no surprise to see that a new Donkey Kong Country game has finally make DK a star in Japan again.

“Nintendo has sold more game systems than anyone else for five years running,” said Charlie Scibetta, Nintendo of America’s senior director of Corporate Communications. “Of the quarter billion hardware systems sold in the United States during the past 10 years, Nintendo sold more than half. We look forward to bringing fun new experiences to consumers when Nintendo 3DS launches in March.”

Three of the top five best-selling games of December play exclusively on Nintendo systems. These include Just Dance 2 from Ubisoft at No.
1, Donkey Kong Country Returns ™ : from Nintendo at No. 3 and Disney Epic Mickey from Disney Interactive Studios at No. 4.

For all of 2010, 13 of the top 25 best-selling games play on Nintendo systems. This includes two of the top five; five of the top 10; and nine of the top 15.

It is also kinda nice to see 3rd party software on the Wii selling extremely well for a change.

Well, once again Nintendo hardware takes the lead, but I hope Nintendo takes note that the lead for this holiday season over the competition was slimmer than the lead in previous years, and this means they better do something if they want to keep their streak going for this year's holiday season.

It is also kinda nice to see 3rd party software on the Wii selling extremely well for a change.

Considering the hype Kinect got and that it sold 8 million units, it is very impressive Wii outsold it.

Lead over competition isn't important, especially at this stage when there are so much more Wii systems out there than everything else. At this point it's pretty natural for the competing systems to catch up or surpass it, but as long as the Wii still sells millions, they're fine. Though software sales are far more important at this point.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on January 16, 2011, 02:17:13 AM: Did the GC and Xbox ever catch the PS2 in that manner?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on January 16, 2011, 03:21:56 PM: No, but each generation is different. Last year, the PSP outsold the DS in Japan, but that didn't stop the DS from selling millions and being extremely profitable, nor will it prevent it from becoming the best-selling gaming system of all time. So there's not much to worry about when sales of the competition increase, only when sales of Wii decrease.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on January 16, 2011, 03:57:59 PM: The main reason the 360 is ahead of the PS3 right now is because it had a one year head start. That's the same reason why the PS2 dominated the last gen, but in that case the PS2 had almost a two year head start so that's double the advantage the 360 had for this generation. If the PS2 had been released in late 2001 with the GC and the XBOX then it would not have had the huge lead that it did (and possibly wouldn't even have been in first place at all). When a system has a huge head start where it is free from competition these sorts of things happen, and then when competition finally does show up they are so firmly entrenched in their lead that catching up to them becomes a Herculean task.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on January 17, 2011, 05:38:06 PM: I never said that everyone has a Wii. But the more it sells, the less people there are to sell to. So I wouldn't worry about the other systems selling more; if instead the Wii had dropped down in sales to the others, then there'd be a problem.

And the fact 360 usually outsells PS3 on a monthly basis. Kind of hard to catch up when you are trailing each month.

Yeah, but that has a lot to do with the momentum they built up from their early head start. Because of its year long head start the 360 had time to get exclusive games and build up market share and so when the competition finally showed up the 360 had a much larger library of games right from the get go, and then you combine that people often will be influenced to buying something just because their friends have it (peer pressure). So the 360 has more games, and it also has this perceived higher level of popularity because more people have it, and that's what continues to fuel its momentum and keep it ahead of the PS3 even today, but its all thanks to their early launch.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on January 18, 2011, 05:57:06 PM: Actually, the 260 had closer to a 2 year head start on the PS3 as well due to the astronomical $500-600 starting price of the PS3. That price really killed any chance of the PS3 being more popular (in the US) than the 360.

One note though. The PS3 will probably pull ahead of the 360 in worldwide hardware sales this year.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on January 18, 2011, 06:08:40 PM: I doubt it, pretty much the only region the PS3 outsells 360 in is Japan.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on January 18, 2011, 06:43:59 PM: Where did you get that 93 million number? I haven't seen that official. It would also have required the system to have sold almost 20 million systems in the last 3 months because it was at 75.9 million on September 30.

Doubtful if the Kinect continues to be successful, it has a chance to help them maintain if not improve their lead over Sony. We'll see though.

Its more like 3 and a half months at this point. I think its very possible, probably even likely. Especially when you consider those 3 and a half months count for a lot more than other months of the year, thanks to the holidays.

That's exactly what it is. When the Wii has 7 games in the top 20 and the PS3 has none, and yet the PS3 is selling over 10k more then the Wii, that makes it pretty obvious what people are really buying the PS3 for now.

It's just like how before Monster Hunter revived the PSP in Japan, the hardware was the only thing selling with no games in not only Top 20, but some weeks Top 50. Before Monster Hunter gave the mainstream gaming audience a reason to buy the PSP in Japan, everyone else was buying the system only to pirate, just like the rest of the world still does.

Post by: Ian Sane on January 27, 2011, 02:15:30 PM: If the hardware hack was the inspiration to jump to the PS4 at this point I would be pretty annoyed. From a hardware perspective the PS3 has the legs to go on for a while. We don't need another $600 system and we also don't need a chincy nothing upgrade done entirely to avoid a hack either. I want a real step up and I want it done when such hardware is affordable. If generations have to become longer to accomodate this then so be it. It'll be nice to have some stability.

But I think partially why I would be annoyed is I think for Nintendo to catch up we really need Sony and MS to stay put for a while. Otherwise I figure Nintendo will go up to PS3 level with the Wii 2 and immediately get leapfrogged and then the same stupid third party problem happens again. I don't want Nintendo to be perpetually behind and they realistically need two gens in the span of everyone else's one gen to prevent that.

Unlikely to happen, development costs are so high now, PS3 and 360 are pretty much pushing it for visuals. The next "leap" isn't going to be that major unless it is the PS4 Holodeck version.

I know. So what would a PS4 be if they released one now? The same thing but with Move built-in and the hack fixed?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on January 27, 2011, 05:25:13 PM: Sony probably will release a revision of the PS3 that will fix the hack (if possible), and integrate move. I would predict we will see this revision by the end of the year, and perhaps only in a few months. Other improvements will include a smaller size/weight over the slim, and possibly a reduction in price due to the drop in manufacturing costs.

But it won't be the PS4.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 27, 2011, 05:50:38 PM: To my understanding of the hack, to fix it, Sony would break compatibility with all other games that currently work on PS3.
It's unfixable for PS3 and likely means that PS4 won't be directly BC.

Move can no more be integrated with the system then Kinect can. It requires the PS Eye.

He probably means we could see a PS3 that has its own USB slot for the camera somewhere near the back of the machine or some such thing that better integrates the Move's various external parts. I've mentioned this before, but the Slim model only has 2 USB slots. If you have a Move (and I've been thinking of picking one up lately for Dead Space Extraction, Heavy Rain, and Resident Evil 5 Gold), that damn camera devours one of those 2 slots at all times. That leaves you with one USB slot to accommodate/charge a Dualshock 3, a Move wand, and a Nav controller. It's incredibly clunky, and ideally a future hardware iteration would restore more USB slots to the machine to alleviate that.

Wow only 2? I still have the 80GB PS3 with the PS2 compatibility and it has 4.

Yeah, for some bizarre reason Sony stripped out 2 USB ports when they put out the Slim. My original PS3 had 4 as well (as well as multiple SD card slots, which are also gone from the Slim), but my new replacement Slim only has 2. I wonder if Sony gave any thought to the ramifications to Move when they designed the Slim, because it's such an obvious oversight.

I apologize, I missed that part.

Still, I don't remember seeing many shovelware titles dominating the weekly sales charts. Just looking at the last list of UK sales, there's only one possible shovelware title (Michael Jackson something - I don't know anything about this particular title). I don't deny that shovelware doesn't exist on Wii, it's the market leader so it would be the natural target. I just don't think it contributes to the tie-in ratio in any meaningful way.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 29, 2011, 02:01:03 AM: Michael Jackson The Experience wasn't a Shovelware title, it was basically Just Dance 2 with an all MJ skin wrapped all over it, but it is a quality title that could have had a slightly better song selection..

Wonder how long the licensed Oriemo game at number 3 will last in the charts.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 02, 2011, 06:06:37 PM: 2 more weeks before release in Japan right?

also looks like PS3 is still struggling to sell games in Japan.

Post by: TJ Spyke on February 02, 2011, 06:09:04 PM: Is it really a coincidence that PS3 software sales dropped like a stone as soon as piracy was opened up on it a few weeks ago?

Shhhhhh...don't use the "P" word! It's "homebrew", remember? ::) Naturally, everyone's too busy playing their "homebrew" software to buy PS3 games.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 02, 2011, 06:18:35 PM: Not only do I not think it's a coincidence, but it's the same point I brought up last week when PS3 had 0 games in the Top 20.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on February 02, 2011, 07:11:06 PM: FYI, PS3s could be getting bought for the bluray capability as well as PSN games.

Just throwing more possible reasons, not that I think you're wrong.

Some is; some isn't. It would be a lie to say its all legit legal stuff, but it would be equally lying to say none of it is.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Guitar Smasher on February 02, 2011, 11:19:30 PM: Is it possible that there just haven't been any interesting PS3 games released the last few weeks?

If you think piracy is wiping out sales, for what titles do you think this is happening?

"Games" like this make me think that the Tokyo Government was right to pass that law banning this sort of thing. I love much of their anime and many of their games, but Japanese otaku culture really irritates me these days.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on February 03, 2011, 04:55:40 PM: After reading up on the plot of the series (which apparently started as a light novel series), incest is not that far off. It's kind of disturbing.

om a sort of related note: Spielberg & Lucas wanted Indy to have had relations with a 13-15yr old girl in the original script. They changed it to 17 later on
It's not just Japan.

That's just lazy. If you can't name a recently released game that should be popular, then you're just guessing that piracy is killing game sales. You're not considering whether or not there would be any PS3 titles in the sales chart if the system hadn't been jailbroken in the first place.

I stated that I probably wasn't gonna be answering your question, but i took a stab at it anyway. But now that you responded, I understand what you were asking the first time. You wanna know what games released during those weeks that should have placed but didn't, and that might support a cause for piracy alert. Well, let me go look up the release list and I'll get back to you on that.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on February 03, 2011, 11:26:20 PM: Yes, it is a complete coincidence that there weren't any PS3 games listed, especially since piracy has been possible on the PS3 for the better part of 6 months now. If piracy were to blame, then there wouldn't be any games listed, since piracy on the Wii has been possible basically since it was launched, and the 360 only took a year or so as well.

03. / 00. [PSP] My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute Portable (Bandai Namco) {2011.01.27} - 88.493 / NEW

Incest on the go!

"Games" like this make me think that the Tokyo Government was right to pass that law banning this sort of thing. I love much of their anime and many of their games, but Japanese otaku culture really irritates me these days.

I like the Japanese culture that involved Samurais and Ninjas. That is cool. Otaku is not so great imho...

Post by: Enner on February 05, 2011, 01:26:39 PM: Otaku is a derogatory word for geeks or dedicated hobbyists in general, if I recall correctly, so lets not be messy with our words here. There are all sorts of otaku ranging from trains and firearms to fashion and photography.

Oriemo appeals to a particular subset of otaku that is dedicated to moe anime, manga, and other media characters. Those otaku is where we get the sensational headlines of a guy wanting to marry a body pillow or a character in the DS game Love Plus. The Japanese government Youth Ordinance Bill 156 is more or less going after those works since it has gotten so crazy these past few years.

Here's an editorial on how Bill 156 got passed for those curious. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/editorial/2010-12-28 (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/editorial/2010-12-28)

Well, if you want to be precise, what the term "Otaku" actually refers to are people who are "obsessively" devoted to particular interests (just having an interest or hobby isn't sufficient), and it's a term that's widely used in Japan to specifically refer to those obsessed with "moe anime, manga, and other media characters."

Ah, I knew I was missing some details.
I'm curious to see how big of a second week drop off we'll see for the top selling games in Japan. I hope The Last Story and Valkyria Chronicles 3 stick around for weeks to come.

Wow, that was fast. From best-selling to 7th in the space of a week, and "only" selling 133,900 copies in its lifetime so far. Considering how much something like Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy sells in the land of RPGs, I expected a little bit better sales out of Last Story (though it's still selling decently).

TLS3D might help re-coup the cost and benefit from being a "Launch Window" game and the only RPG for the system.

I couldn't care less about Valkyria Chronicles 3. That series should never have left the PS3. But I am concerned that NoA is going to look at the Japanese sales of Last Story and conclude that the game might have similar success for a week and then similarly die off. I could see Nintendo of America only interested in bringing over games that can generate continual revenue (Mario Kart Wii, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, etc.), especially after Sin & Punishment 2 and Metroid Other M.

If NOA adopted that attitude then they would realistically just be Activision with better games. Not every game can be Mario Kart Wii. I'd argue that not every game SHOULD be Mario Kart Wii. There is nothing wrong with niche games that sell to niche audiences and still make a profit. Not everything has to be a big mainstream hit. If Nintendo wants to truly be an "everyone" company then that means having games that only a section of the market like. Not every Wii owner in America will want to buy Last Story but RPG fans will and releasing that game will make that specific group happy and satisified and encourage them to continue to support Nintendo. "Everyone" means that that specific group of RPG fans has to be satisfied too and they require something more specific to their tastes. "Mainstream" is just another demographic, though a large one. Targetting the "mainsteam" is not at all the same as targetting "everyone".

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 09, 2011, 06:23:51 PM: As far as The Last Story is concerned, it could just be a case of late restocking. Original shipment was only ~140k, so given tracking discrepancies, it's virtually sold out of it's original shipment. If numbers are really low next week too, then we can really worry.

While I would've preferred more PS3 installments, the portable variants look like they are improving on the game (systems and mechanics at least).

I don't know, it's a short RPG in a country where short RPGs are digested in a week and then returned for quick cash, causing sales of new copies to die as used ones flood the market. It'll keep selling, no doubt, but I don't think it's going to do too much better than it already has.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on February 10, 2011, 11:46:35 PM: One thing that everyone should remember is thanks to NOA and NOE's advertising of Dragon Quest IX, it was able to sell over 1 million copies between North America and Europe. The previous Dragon Quest games for the DS that were published by SquareEnix didn't sell anywhere close to those numbers. Hell, Dragon Quest IV and V both only sold around 50k lifetime total in North America while thanks to NOA, Dragon Quest IX sold well over 100k it's first month. This is the reason why NOA and NOE are publishing Dragon Quest VI because they were able to actually make the series a success outside of Japan, something SquareEnix couldn't.

So if NOA and NOE were able to take an RPG series that was basically unknown to the average gamer in North America and Europe and make it a success, there's no reason to believe they won't try to do the same for Xenoblade and The Last Story. Especially in the case of The Last Story since it's gameplay and graphics already appeal to a western audience way more then the Dragon Quest series did.

Post by: ymeegod on February 12, 2011, 09:12:59 PM: Actually DQVIII sold over a million copies if you combined the two markets (NA and Europe) as well. So you're theory is a bit broken because DQIX sold the least in NA, Europe sales are nearly double that of the NA market. DQIX sales are still pretty damn poor outside of Japan.

As for the Japanese market, sudden drop in sales are nothing new as for sale figures for Last Story it's not doing great at all--it's falls within the normal sales figures for an WII RPG. Look at Xenoblade and Tales of Graces sales for a reference.

JRPG's are a dying bred on a console, it's either handheld gaming or nothing.

As for VC3, you still haven't play VC2 Blood so you really shouldn't comment. While VC2 wasn't as good as the orginal it's still prety damn decent IMO so I'm looking forward to VC3 as well.

That's because it had a demo of Final Fantasy XII with it in North America. If you take away the FFXII demo, it's sales in North America wouldn't have been anywhere close to what they were.

Dragon Quest IX - 1.02 million copies between North America and Europe.

How is that poor? Not to mention you do realize NOA is publishing Dragon Quest VI which comes out this week. If Dragon Quest IX did poorly in North America then NOA would not be publishing the next Dragon Quest game. And yet they are which means Dragon Quest IX did good in North America which is why Square Enix and Iwata are allowing NOA to publish DQVI as well.

Which goes back to my whole point about how if NOA was able to make a series like Dragon Quest that wasn't popular in North America unless it has a Final Fantasy demo inside the box, and make it do good by itself which is why they're now publishing the next game in North America as well, is a reason why Xenoblade and The Last Story still have a good chance of coming over here. Since DQIX turned out well for them, there's on reason to believe that they feel Xenoblade and The Last Story won't turn out good as well.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on February 13, 2011, 06:14:48 PM: DQ IX was one of the 10 best selling DS games of 2010, so that is more proof of how well it did.

And yeah, how is 1.02 million between North America and Europe poor? Most games don't sell that much in all regions combined.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Nemo on February 13, 2011, 11:26:48 PM: According to vgchartz.com, DQ IX is ranked in sales...

#13 worldwide
#6 in Japan
#59 in "EMEAA", which I assume means "Europe, Middle-East, Africa, Asia?" (too lazy to research)
#170 in "the Americas"

As a huge fan of DQ IX, it was kind of sickening seeing what other DS games outsold this (America sales only)....

Post by: Mop it up on February 14, 2011, 08:24:55 PM: I'm not sure if Dragon Quest IX and The Last Story or Xenoblade is an apt comparison. Even forgetting that one game is of a popular, long-running series and the other two are new IPs, they're on different systems which likely means different audiences. RPGs seem to sell fairly well on DS but are there any RPGs on the Wii which sold decently? Dragon Quest IX sold millions in Japan alone, XenoBlade is at a few hundred thousand I believe and it doesn't look like The Last Story will do much better, so Dragon Quest IX isn't really much of an indicator as to how well those two games would fare in North America.

XenoBlade has now been out in Japan for 8 months and there has still been no confirmation that it's coming to North America. What other Nintendo-published titles were out in Japan for over 8 months without an announcement for North America which still ended up releasing in North America? I'm legitimately asking, I don't know if there are any or not.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on February 14, 2011, 08:46:12 PM: Not quite 8 months, but PokePark Wii was out in Japan for 6 months before Nintendo announced it would come out in North America.

After doing some checking, I did find one that was 8 months. The Legendary Starfy for DS was released in Japan in July 2008, it first appeared on a list of upcoming games for North America in February 2009 (the game would then come out in June. Not really a "game", but 100 Classic Book Collection was out in Japan for 14 months before being announced for North America (released in Japan December 2008, announced for NA in February 2010). Glory of Heracles was also out for 14 months before being announced for North America (May 2008 released in Japan, confirmed for NA in July 2009).

So it's rare for Nintendo games to be out for a long time before being announced for North America, but it has happened before.

Actually there is. Xenoblade is Monando: Beggining of the New World here in North America and was first revealed at E3 2009. The game has been on NOA release list since then as a TBA, but it's still on the list. Even the most current list shows it still scheduled for a TBA release in North America.

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2011/110128e.pdf (http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2011/110128e.pdf)

And before anyone mentions Disaster, NOA removed that game from the release list after it's release in Japan/Europe and Reggie said the game was sh!t and it wouldn't come to North America unless it did well in Europe. Considering Xenoblade/Monado is still on NOA release list and Reggie hasn't bashed it yet, I'm very optimisic about it's chances.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on February 15, 2011, 06:20:48 PM: Nintendo may apply their 'mum is the word' strategy of revealing nothing about a game through the localization process as well. Monando/Xenoblade and Last Story both have large amounts of voice work, right?

I would say hold out till E3. That is probably when we will see the rest of 2011's lineup and I'm betting that aside from Zelda we'll be seeing a lot of Japan only games finally coming to the West.

Yeah, I think it's safe to say now that Last Story is probably done in Japan for all intents and purposes. While nearly 150,000 units in 3 weeks isn't bad, I wonder if it justifies the seemingly-large development costs. Hopefully, it sold well enough to justify a Western release.

Well, almost 150k units sold is over $7 million made on the game. Now, as you said, how much development costs were... that's the real question.

I think the game has already turned a profit, though. It's safe to say that it'll land on western shores later this fall or early next year. Game looks phenomenal.

Not at all, I was just pointing out the PSP's competitor is gonna be the 3DS and not the DS. And that will be until the PSP can retire to the PSP2 possibly this Xmas season in Japan.

I know all that. I'm just saying it would suck (from a Nintendo fanboy point of view) if the DS ends its career with its ass kicked by the PSP, which is what seems to be happening right now. Yeah, the 3DS is going to clean the floor with the PSP from the moment it kicks in the door, but I'm not talking about that. I just want the DS to retire with dignity and still be kicking the PSP's ass even as it is handing the torch on to the 3DS. It isn't happening like that though. Even though the DS kicked the PSP's ass consistently for years, its like the PSP is going to get the last symbolic laugh and the Sony fanboy trolls are going to seize on this.

Post by: Enner on February 18, 2011, 07:33:17 AM: The month's new releases couldn't quite top two of last year's bestsellers. Still, it looks like a fair start for Dead Space 2 and Little Big Planet 2. I recently finished Assassin's Creed 2 (PC) so it's nice to see Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood still in the charts. I hope that Ubi Soft doesn't rush things now they are flush with cash.

It's great to see Dead Space 2 sell so well, as it really is a phenomenal game. It's a pity that Mass Effect 2 PS3 didn't make the list when we have stuff like Black Ops still up there, but oh well.

I wonder how sales of DC Universe Online will keep up. It benefited from a huge marketing campaign.

Mass Effect 2 has been out on the 360 and PC for over a year before it came to the PS3. So it was already an old game from the moment it was released. Its no surprise to me that it didn't chart.

I don't see DCU making the list again, especially after the near-universal lukewarm reception it has gotten in the press. By the time the NPDs come around again, people will have returned to playing WoW.

Looks like PS3 Move has stopped moving.

Perhaps Sony is okay with not making as big a splash as Kinect is. Judging from the quick looks Giant Bomb is putting out, it looks like Sony is doing a bit of better in supporting Move by having PSN titles come out for it as well as Move support for upcoming or past retail titles. Then again, it's probably much easier to make a game for the Move than for the Kinect. Still, I haven't heard of many XBLA or Xbox Indie games for the Kinect. That seems like a missed opportunity even though it is still early in the accessory's life. I think the first one I've heard of is The Gunstringer.

Indeed. The Kinect is still selling on the promise of developers actually doing something worthwhile with it. For all the problems the Move has (and I do own one now, as well as the Nav controller), I can take the thing right now and play games that I actually want to play with it (Resident Evil 5, Dead Space Extraction, Killzone 3). So long as Sony is earning a profit off the Move (and I really don't see how they haven't by now, especially in Europe), I don't think they walk away too depressed from being outsold by the Kinect.

Xbox Kinect Bundles( > 228k) outsell PS3 Move Bundles( < 53.4k) by 5:1
Is this referring to only bundles or is it including individual kinect and move sales?
It seems to me that people are more likely to buy a new Xbox with the Kinect than people buying one by itself since they save $50 and get a new redesigned Xbox with it. The PS3 and Move together is the same price as them separate.
It makes me wonder how many moves are actually being sold and are they buying the move by itself or with the Eye. It's similar to the Wiimote where there are multiple parts and they all make Sony money whereas the Kinect is all in one and only makes MS money that once.

Though I still think the Kinect is doing better based on the sales of Dance Central alone. That game is Kinect's WiiSports.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on February 22, 2011, 11:20:27 AM: On the Player One Podcast they just talked about how the non-Kinect bundles are sold out everywhere, might even be a hint of desperation in those bundle sales.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on February 22, 2011, 11:29:29 AM: From the reports we have seen, even the Kinect device by itself is selling very well. PlayStation Move, on the other hand, is not. It's very easy to find and I think even NPD said it was not doing well.

PlayStation Move, on the other hand, is not. It's very easy to find

Meh, the Kinect is piling up everywhere as well, that's not a metric.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on February 24, 2011, 04:25:46 PM: Kinect is one of those things that sell based on hype, but once people have tried it and see what it is and also realize that there isn't going to be much in the way of future game support for it, that hype is going to evaporate. In the end I think people are just lazy. Why get off your ass and stand up and move around when you can just sit down and do the same things by just pushing buttons on a standard controller? Not to mention that 90% of the Xbox fan base is there for Halo and games like that. Kinect isn't compatible with their preferred games.

I know. But the Kinect is even worse, because at least with the Wii you have the option of sitting down while you play and you only have to move your arms and not your whole entire body.

Is the same argument until all those same people realized that you don't have to stand up, you don't have to move around and you can just sit there and push buttons.... if you feel like it.

Very few games that use motion actually required you to move more than your wrist and as soon as people realized that, alot of the bitching about it stopped. Now the bitching is more about forcing in motion controls in place of actual button pushes and not the actual having to move to play a game.

Everything about Kinect as far as motion goes just feels kinda forced and the novelty will wear off eventually. With the Wii you have the option of all out immersive<sp> interaction or minimal effort wrist flinging. You don't have that luxury with Kinect. You're either all in or all out, there is no inbetween or alternative options.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on February 24, 2011, 05:35:50 PM: The majority of Wii owners, as well as the kind of people who are buying Kinect, never had a problem with full body motion controls; in fact, they're the exact reason those people bought them. People might get tired of it, but the same was true of a lot of Wii owners, and Microsoft, like Nintendo with the Wii, makes a profit on the hardware itself, so they're fine with just those people's initial investment and their inflation of the userbase, potentially attracting more developers to the platform, which would mean more sales of Kinect, etc.

Not to mention that the wiimote also has buttons, so its not like every single thing you do in a game has to be done with motions. Most games involve both motion and button pressing. I don't think there are many Wii games that rely 100% on motion as a control method, but with Kinect there is no buttons because "you are the controller" so everything you do in a kinect game has to be done with body movements. Kinect is 100% motion control; whereas on the Wii I'd say its <50%.

It probably has something to do with the new map pack. You also need to keep in mind it is an awesome game and people are going to be telling their friends to get it so its going to have long legs. There also just might not have been a lot of new games out during this time period to steal that #1 slot.

Post by: Louieturkey on March 02, 2011, 05:40:38 PM: Heh, the 3DS has already outsold all systems for the year except for the PSP and that'll happen next week. Yep, it'll be the year of the 3DS for sure.

This can't be good. I was hoping this game was going to be released here since I enjoyed the first one, but if the PS3 version outsells it about 3 to 1, I could see only the PS3 version being brought over.

I'm thinking that Xseed will bring it over if nothing else. The last one they did sold well they said.

It's not surprising, though. I think the PS3 port of Tales of Graces sold something like 3 or 4:1 over the Wii version. The RPG audience is not on the Wii, or at the very least they have both systems and primarily play on PS3. That's not surprising, either, considering the PS2 was the go-to system for RPGs last generation.

As for the 3DS sales numbers, that's as expected considering the Japanese obsession with handhelds and this is a brand-new handheld.

Post by: Mop it up on March 02, 2011, 06:29:50 PM: I guess it's technically an RPG, but it's more like an expanded Harvest Moon, which are usually on Wii, so I thought there was more of an audience for such games on it. Oh well.

Layton and Nintendogs have stayed in place this week but every other 3DS game seemed to have dropped. I guess this was to be expected.

Quote from: Nintendo
Nintendo’s Wii™ console has crossed the 35 million sales mark in the United States, according to the NPD Group. More than 454,000 Wii consoles sold in February to put Wii across the 35 million mark faster than any other console in U.S. history.

February proved to be a notable month for Nintendo software as well. Not only was Just Dance 2 from Ubisoft the No. 1 best-selling game of the month with more than 554,000 sold, but four Nintendo games reached new sales milestones. Donkey Kong Country™ Returns for the Wii console, which launched in November 2010, crossed the 2 million mark in February, while New Super Mario Bros.™ Wii, which launched in November 2009, just crossed the 8 million sales mark.

On the portable side, the Pokémon™ SoulSilver Version game for the Nintendo DS™ family of systems launched in March 2010 and crossed the 2 million sales mark in February, while the New Super Mario Bros. game, which launched in May 2006, just passed 9 million in sales. These milestones further demonstrate the “evergreen” nature of games that play on Nintendo systems.
Quote from: Microsoft
“February was the biggest non-holiday month of console sales in the U.S. in the history of the Xbox, according to NPD. For the second month in a row, Xbox 360 was the number one console, maintaining its lead in the U.S. as the top selling console in 2011,”

Ah, Mario Sports Mix at 10th. I wonder if it will chart next month or will bad word of mouth sink it.

Not horribly surprising, Killzone 3 is a PS3 only game that tends not to put up amazing number and Bulletstorm is a new IP FPS. Dead Space has developed a pretty big following on PS3 and 360.

It had mediocre sales numbers at first, but over the following months word of mouth led it to become a million-unit seller if I remember correctly. I'm happy to see Dead Space 2 doing so well, as it is a pretty awesome game and deserves to sell well. I'm a little disappointed that Bulletstorm performed as relatively low on the charts as it did, as I recently completed it and it was the most fun I've had playing an FPS in years.

I'll be interested to see how well Black Ops really did last month when GameTrailers' Invisible Walls podcast releases the individual SKU numbers sometime in the coming months. I get the feeling these rankings would be quite a bit different without combining SKUs.

I think the FPS bubble is and has been starting to burst a little besides a few exceptions.

Also what Brood said, DS may not have had stellar sales but it is a game where word of mouth has propelled it forward, including a couple spin offs, and a couple animated moves as well. Killzone 3 is on a console with a limited userbase and even that user base isn't jumping over the series. And Bulletstorm is perceived as yet another FPS, whether it is true or not that is likely the perception

That sounds more likely. After the rhythm game fiasco with Guitar Hero, it was easier for people to predict a similar crash for the FPS, but the difference is, the top end of this genre is much more sustainable. I have my qualms with the Call of Duty series, but unlike Guitar Hero, it's not suffering from over-saturation because there's only one per year, and having two companies interchange development allows a bit more creativity from game to game - definitely more than what Neversoft was doing.

On the lower end... I don't know if it's quite as bipolar as that, although ultimately that comes back to the debate of what's a success and what's a failure. Has a first-person shooter failed if it isn't a multi-million seller? Take something like Homefront, an upcoming new IP from a developer with no real pedrigree. Will that hit the high end in terms of sales? Doubtful. Does that mean it's destined to 'fail'? Well, to me, if a high-budget project breaks even in this competitive market, it's been moderately successful.

For the FPS genre to have a future outside of the top tier of COD, Halo, and the like, it needs to move away from the current model of everyone trying to do what those games do to smaller, more specialized games that aren't designed with the target and budget of selling millions.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on March 12, 2011, 11:28:43 AM: For one, the DS version is a completely different game. Second, even the other versions are slightly different. So it is only the best selling game (and only then in the US, no chance it will ever get the world record) if you combine the sales. If you want to get technical, packed in games should be counted and that would mean that a few games would still be ahead of COD:BO.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on March 12, 2011, 02:10:09 PM: Packed in games should count maybe as 1/3 to 1/2 of an actual sale. A lot of people bought an Xbox 360 that had zero intention on ever buying Lego Batman. Also, Black Ops for DS has old like 200,000 copies, making up 1.4% of all of those sales you're talking about, or in other words, it really doesn't count.

Good point. If you take the sales from the NES, SNES, Game Cube, Wii, Virtual Console, GBC and GBA releases of Super Mario Bros., what's that add up to?

You would probably like Bulletstorm, then, which goes back to that simple almost run & gun mentality. Plus, the way that the game slowly dolls out new weapons, upgrades, and their associated skill shots constantly pushes the player to change how they play the game. It's an incredibly stupid game, but it's just a lot of fun.

First, they weren't released at the same time, and second, the SNES, GBC, and GBA versions are different from the original. I can see counting the virtual console (and eReader...and possibly the GameBoy Color) versions in with the original sales, but not the SNES, etc versions.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on March 12, 2011, 11:12:31 PM: Actually, the GBA version was a straight port of the NES version (like all of the games in the Classic NES Series). You also count the DS version of COD, despite that being different.

There was no e-Reader version of SMB. The GBC version is pretty different. The GBA and GCN versions are the only straight-up re-releases... though I'm not sure how you'd count the GCN release.

It gets a little too bogged down in setpieces at times. I'm not sure it's really more stupid than any other FPS, the story seems to be written as something dead serious (outside of your character acting out his inner child while controlling that mecha godzilla thing).

I've got the cable, the unit, Donkey Kong Jr, Manhole, an Animal Crossing gift, and Machamp, Machoke, and Machop from Pokemon.

It could be argued that the Wii, DS, and PC versions of Call of Duty Black Ops are different from the XBox 360 and PS3 versions since they have different graphics and features. So if the altered versions of SMB don't count, then the altered versions of Call of Duty shouldn't count either. I don't see how release date is relevant. If it's because people might have bought the re-releases even though they own the original, I'm sure some people bought Call of Duty on more than one system too.

However, the SNES, GC, and Wii Retail release are a part of a compilation, so perhaps they shouldn't count. So that leaves the GBC, GBA, and Wii VC versions to add to the original's total.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on March 14, 2011, 06:48:14 PM: There was a 20 year span between the original release and the Virtual Console release of SMB. I think that is enough to count them separately. Release date is very relevant, and I'm sure some people bought Black Ops for more than one console...but not many, and not nearly as many people that bought Super Mario Bros, then bought Super Mario All Stars or Super Mario Advance, etc.

Post by: TJ Spyke on March 14, 2011, 06:51:58 PM: They are the exact same game, what difference does it make how long the time between releases is? Take box office revues for example, you combine the Star Wars releases together when you talk about how much the movie made (i.e. you say Episode IV made $460.98 million. You don't say it made $307.2 million its first run, $15.4 million its second, and $138.2 million its third).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on March 14, 2011, 06:57:22 PM: All right, let's pick this back up in 20 years and see how the sales stack up then.

I'm not trying to discredit the sales of the game, because it's definitely sold a crazy amount in such short time. But I think it's a little ridiculous to combine the sales of all versions, especially when some are different from others, and compare that to single-platform releases. I take the same issue when they combine Pokémon versions.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on March 14, 2011, 06:58:37 PM: Exactly. I can maybe understand combining Nintendogs since all the dogs are on every version, the only difference is which ones you start out with.

There's a sh*t-load of nicotine in SMB. Don't you remember the US government doing anything they could to eliminate Nintendo during the NES years?

On a side note, I'm curious whether anyone believes people will still be buying re-releases of Black Ops, 20 years from now. Kind of makes you think about what makes one game a classic, as compared to something else.

That's good because I didn't read anything about a Volcanic Eruption. All this possible Nuclear Meltdown stuff is already way too much for Japan to handle after the devastation from an earthquake and a flood from a tsunami.

On a side note, I'm curious whether anyone believes people will still be buying re-releases of Black Ops, 20 years from now. Kind of makes you think about what makes one game a classic, as compared to something else.

I don't know, but it should be noted that the original Call of Duty is available for download off the PSN store (and probably Xbox Live as well). The original COD came out in 2003 I believe, so its 7-8 years old now, but its for sale and I would imagine at least some people are buying it. So if that's the case why couldn't Black Ops be re-released 20 years from now?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on March 17, 2011, 07:51:07 PM: Yes it's out on XBLA, I wasn't aware that there was a PSN version of Call of Duty Classic as well. I think most people that are buying it are doing so because the first game was only released on PC before. FPS games don't tend to age well.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: UncleBob on March 17, 2011, 08:27:12 PM: Doom is a great example of a classic. Virtually every new platform, there's a version of the original Doom for it. Like Pac-Man or such.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on March 17, 2011, 08:30:38 PM: The difference with Call of Duty is that they do a new, mostly identical version every year. That makes it hard for any one of them to stand out as a classic. Not impossible, mind you, as the love for NHL '94 on the Genesis will attest to, but very unlikely.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on March 17, 2011, 11:35:22 PM: Why shouldn't Pokemon versions be counted as one? Black & White for example is the same game minus a few exclusive pokemon that you start with and find in the field. And I believe you can trade for those exclusive pokemon as well so it's basically the same damn game.

And the 3DS is going be low for awhile because the supply is limited so it's not surprising to see those numbers.

Without having ever played a pokemon game in my life, I've been making the same exact argument for years. Nobody has ever really sided with me on that argument as far as I remember.

Because many people buy both which leads to inflated sales numbers. I understand the logic of why they are combined, but I don't agree with it.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 18, 2011, 01:10:12 AM: ^that's what I'm talking about. We've had a debate about it some time ago and I think I was the only one arguing for the fact that they are the same exact game minus a few insignificant differences and therefore should be counted together as 2 version of the same game.

But I don't even want to get into that again. so consider that the very brief reminder of what once was and shall not be again... atleast not with me.

Post by: Mop it up on March 18, 2011, 01:22:47 AM: I don't want to debate it either which is why I gave a simple answer to the comment.

Well, that's certainly true in the case of the multiplayer aspect, which would get dated over time, but the single player campaign in Black Ops would be worth playing years from now because of the plot and the story of it which I enjoyed, but since I already completed it (actually I did it three times - one of those times was on veteran) I probably won't care to revisit it, but if its something no one has played before its definitely worth checking out no matter how old it is.

Multiplayer will get dated because there's no plot and its basically just a random free for all killing fest. I'm not saying that's not fun, but over time the engine gets dated and you will get bored of the same guns day in and day out. It won't be able to stand up to a COD game made 10 years from now. For that matter the online servers would probably be long shut down by then anyway...

But again, the single player campaign is something that will hold value indefinitely.

de_dust2 24/7. All day, every day. Ah, it's been too long since I've played the game (with user-made bots because my internet sucked). I forgot the hot keys to the buy menu.

If great single player game content can be timeless and classic, so can great multi player game content. What they may lack in a narrative, a multiplayer's player interaction between other players, maps, weapons, rules and systems can be engaging from the first to the thousandth match and beyond. Sometimes a player needs some space between games. Or not, looking at Starcraft and Starcraft 2 pro gamers.

Still, I occasionally pop in to a bot match in Unreal Tournament and it is still so fun to score frags while jumping around in Morpheus.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: broodwars on March 19, 2011, 04:35:21 PM: Just as I thought, Gametrailers' Invisible Walls Podcast rolled out February's single SKU NPD numbers, and the results were quite a bit different:

1. Just Dance 2 (Wii) - 554, 552
2. Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (PS3) - 398,284
3. Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (360) - 391, 913
4. Call of Duty: Black Ops (360) - 390, 729
5. Call of Duty: Black Ops (PS3) - 288, 674
6. Killzone 3 (PS3) - 279, 824
7. Bulletstorm (360) - 233, 685
8. Zumba Fitness: Join the Party (Wii) - 226, 685
9. Michael Jackson: The Experience (Wii) - 226, 378
10. NBA 2k11 (360) - 224, 800

11. Mario Sports Mix (Wii) - 199, 965
12. Dance Central (360) - 183, 920
13. Dead Space 2 (360) - 179, 675
14. NBA 2k11 (PS3) - 159, 278

Interesting to see MvC3 sell slightly better on PS3 than 360. That rarely happens. If you're wondering where the PS3 version of Bullestorm is, it's apparently at #49 with roughly 45,000 units sold (ouch). Also worth noting is that, according to that same podcast, NPD will start tracking digital sales (no details on what that'll mean) in upcoming months, perhaps as soon as the March NPD report.

So if that's the case why couldn't Black Ops be re-released 20 years from now?
There's a certain appeal to the first game released in a series, I'm sure many fans are curious of how the game started out and what it was like in its first entry. If I remember rightly, the original version of Madden NFL Football was included as a bonus in some recent edition of Madden, but I don't think any other version of the series was ever re-released in any manner. I doubt we'll see Call of Duty 2-7 ever become available again.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on March 19, 2011, 09:45:30 PM: Actually, previous collectors' editions of Madden have included several different versions of the game, from different eras. The reason you don't see older sports games released very often is that it's not as easy as just uploading a ROM. EA (or whomever) doesn't have the rights to the names of players who are no longer playing, and thus no longer members of the players' union they made the original deal with. EA has gotten around this in the past by modifying the ROM to include current players and teams (by the way, if any EA employees are reading this, I would gladly pay money for one of the Genesis NHL games to be given this treatment).

Also, not to sound like a jerk, but Call of Duty 2 (and possibly 3) is available on Xbox Live. It was a 360 launch title, but Activision went to the trouble of making it available via Microsoft's Games on Demand service. Again, this is Activision, a company at the forefront in the field of milking franchises to death. I endorse it, because I want to see Activision fall on its face by destroying the Call of Duty brand and have no franchises left to milk. Too bad their acquisition of Blizzard will prevent them from completely falling apart.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on March 19, 2011, 09:53:18 PM: That's interesting, I figured it was possible but I had no idea. To be fair, the older versions of Madden are just a bonus on a new game, they aren't being sold as-is by themselves. I wonder how many people have interest in older versions of Call of Duty... each entry is kind of disposable since the new ones take the game and build on it, so it isn't something like, say, Mario, where most of the games are unique and therefore still worthwhile when a new one comes out.

I don't know, but it should be noted that the original Call of Duty is available for download off the PSN store (and probably Xbox Live as well). The original COD came out in 2003 I believe, so its 7-8 years old now, but its for sale and I would imagine at least some people are buying it. So if that's the case why couldn't Black Ops be re-released 20 years from now?
There's a certain appeal to the first game released in a series, I'm sure many fans are curious of how the game started out and what it was like in its first entry. If I remember rightly, the original version of Madden NFL Football was included as a bonus in some recent edition of Madden, but I don't think any other version of the series was ever re-released in any manner. I doubt we'll see Call of Duty 2-7 ever become available again.

COD 5 was my favorite of all time. Its not like they're all the same, or even all set in the same era. Madden was a piss poor example because little changes from one game to the next except for roster changes. But look at other hit game series like Super Mario Bros. for example. Even though SMB1 was the first in the series and has its appeal for that reason, that doesn't mean that people don't also want to play and revisit SMB2 or SMB3. Each SMB was significantly different enough from the others to justify its existence. The Madden series is a very different thing.

So anyways, I like COD 7 and think its a fine game. Its not as good as COD 5 though in my opinion, but its certainly better than COD 6 or COD 4. Basically, the COD games I like most are the ones made by Treyarch, and the ones I like least are the ones made by Infinity Ward. 20 years from now maybe I would be interested in a re-release of COD7. But if its COD6 you can forget it...

1) I have an interest in the older COD games. I never played COD 1-3 and have an interest in doing so.

2) That's flat out wrong to say they are "disposable" and that the "new ones take the game and build on it". That's wrong and its bullshit. I strongly disagree with that, and am even offended by it. I guess if you only play the multiplayer you might think that, but the campaign in each game is very different. There is a story there and characters which are unique to that game and do not constantly reappear in game after game after game.

I know many people who still play WaW regularly. I also know one person who still plays MW2, though for the life of me I can't understand why...
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Enner on March 20, 2011, 04:50:59 AM: Maybe he likes the nuking in Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer or prefers Spec Ops to zombies. Campaign-wise, I feel that Infinity Ward builds a slightly better experience. This puzzles me as I remember liking Call of Duty: United Offensive's campaign more than Call of Duty. United Offensive was developed by Gray Matter Interactive who was later folded in to Treyarch.

I recommend checking out Call of Duty and Call of Duty: United Offensive. Call of Duty 2, not so much as I was disappointed overall in its campaign. Call of Duty 3 is Treyarch's work and I assume it gets unfairly shat on.

As for Madden, are you sure you aren't exaggerating with it being mostly roster changes? It looks like the team tries to include some welcome tweaks and features despite the yearly cycle. Last year looked like they made big improvements in speeding up the game. I wouldn't know much since I don't care for sports games or sports simulation games.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on March 20, 2011, 02:08:50 PM: It's probably just my uninterest in the series talking, but the Call of Duty games really do seem terribly similar to me, from their settings to their weapons. It's likely because they strive for realism, so even if they have different settings and wars, they still look similar and have similar fundamentals. I have my doubts that the stories are anything unique or interesting, since they're all about a war and feature a stereotypical macho-man as the main character(s) who is often nameless, but I'll save that judgment for when I play the single player modes... if I ever do. This is just my opinion of course, it isn't meant to offend.

I know new Madden games often add significant or worthwhile features, and that was my point. What's the point playing an older version when a newer one has all that and more? The only reason I can think of is if one likes a team from a certain year because of the roster they had back then, which is understandable.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Enner on March 20, 2011, 06:00:19 PM: On Call of Duty, you're right for the most part. However, the player character is named but silent. And the speaking roles are more of a stereotypical grizzled grunt or special operations operator than something like the Doom marine from the Doom comic or the characters of Gears of War.

That seems to be the range of popular shooter game characters if they aren't silent. They're either a Schwarzenegger Commando or Aliens marine, a serious grunt or commander from a war movie, or a suave and slick secret agent like James Bond. Props should be given to Half Life, Deus Ex, and a few other shooter games for having characters that come across as a bit more regular Joe.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on March 20, 2011, 09:31:11 PM: The player character is not silent. Maybe during gameplay, but if you've played Black Ops you would know that Alex Mason (the player character for most but not all of the missions) does say a lot. He's in a freaking torture chair and forced to talk and when you play the missions you are basically just re-enacting what he is describing to his interrogator.

Both of you are showing your ignorance of how COD single-player campaign really is. The characters actually talk a great deal in (and sometimes even out of) the cutscenes. They do more than just grunt like cavemen the way you're making it out to be.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Enner on March 20, 2011, 09:44:02 PM: Perhaps I should have said mostly silent. It has only been recently (to my knowledge as I have not played Call of Duty: Finest Hour, Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, or Call of Duty 3) in Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops that a player-controlled character has spoken. I apologize for letting Alex Mason's numerous speaking lines slip out of my memory. It takes some getting used to after so many games of having a silent protagonist.

Also, Gorden Freeman is not a caveman!

No, the silent player character has a name. Actually, most shooters are pretty good about giving your character a name even if they don't give him or her a voice.

Eh, not any more depth than a mediocre or better action movie. Though, I guess that makes it miles ahead of other Call of Duty games. It certainly helps that all of BLOPS revolves around Alex Mason rather than paying equal attention to two or three far-flung soldiers.

Bullshit. The game doesn't revolve entirely around him. In Project Nova you play as Reznov back in 1945 which fills in much of the backstory behind the origins of the Nova Gas. You also play as Hudson in a few missions. All these things you're saying about the game prove you either haven't played the game at all or you weren't paying any attention if you did.

No. I'm a terrible conversationalist who glosses and blurs details and foolishly assumes they are understood by people. I contemplated typing "mostly revolves around Alex Mason", but I thought less of Hudson's adventures and the Reznov flashback compared to Mason's plight and made Mason my only star with the other two as support attachments. Also, I had it in my mind that "revolves around Alex Mason" does not necessarily mean "you only play as Alex Mason." I thought it best to be vague in order to avoid spoilers. Then again, it is usually a given that you play as multiple characters in a Call of Duty campaign.

EDIT: Oh, and I forgot about Nietsch and Mosely in the CODBLOPS campaign. Argh! Okay, I wasn't paying attention when I played the campaign for that one run.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on March 22, 2011, 01:39:32 PM: Call of Duty in it's most basic sense just lacks any sort of style that I find even remotely interesting. It's too straight. I like my videogames to be a little bit more fantastic. When I was a kid EA's games were of the least interest to me. Not just sports games like Madden but titles like Jungle Strike. They had this style that was too realistic for me to get into. The whole thing just seems boring. Say what you want about the glut of space marine first person shooters but there is a certain fantastic element to duking it out with aliens that makes it stand out more. But even then a lot of them have a certain gritty realistic style that plays it a little too straight. Doom was honestly kind of goofy if you really look at it. I'm the same way with action movies. You give me some political thriller based on a Tom Clancy book and I'm just not interested. I need something a little more campy.

One thing that also plays into my disinterest is that CoD is so obviously super cool in the eyes of teenagers and college students. You can tell it is right up their alley. Well I'm not in that age group anymore and, honestly, the stuff people in that age group think is cool, I find to be incredibly lame. You make anything designed for today's 17 year old and you make something that I'm just going to be rolling my eyes at the whole time. Now I was that age once and there was some stuff from that time period that other people would have thought was stupid that just played into my tastes at the time. That's just how things go.

Look at the ad for Black Ops with Kobe Bryant in it. If you think that ad is cool, I would probably not get along very well with you. That ad, and thus I can assume the product, is very clearly aimed at someone that is very different from me.

A very neat extra. I appreciate games including Enemy Waves modes or Horde modes. I'm even more appreciative if they include a skirmish mode with bots for a little target practice. Props to Treyarch including something that used to be an out-of-the-box given before Counter Strike, Halo, and increasing broadband internet availability came about.

It went from SKU sales to shooters and annual installments. Activision was thrown in to the mix and that will undoubtedly bring up Call of Duty.

It's something to pass the time until the next sales numbers gets posted.

I agree with most of what you say. I don't like realistic games, because I live in reality, so they don't offer me things I can't see in person or on the telly. Realism is bland and uninteresting. The setting in DooM may be generic, but it's still much more interesting to me than any war shooter. Then you also have a problem where realistic games can't actually be realistic and still be videogames. A person can't take three bullets in the chest and then go hide in a corner for five seconds and magically get healed, and you also have smaller things like how you can reload your gun before you empty your clip and the clip's bullets will magically be combined with another clip. Games that strive for realism just get stuck in the middle, and things like this really stick out like a sore thumb because they couldn't happen in reality. Fantasy games don't have this problem.

Just one mode, at least in the Wii version. Too bad it's hindered by the poor conventions of the Call of Duty gameplay, but that's just me. The mode in TimeSplitters is more my style.

Well, the fries used to be the big thing at McDonalds, but then all the health nuts had to get into a frenzy about the franchise and the fries are now a pale shadow of their former selves. Wendy's now has the best fries now, IMO, so if I eat out that's usually where I go. Coca-Cola has its moments (especially Cherry Coke), but I'm a Pepsi/Dt. Dr. Pepper guy. As for Call of Duty, I'm still trying to figure out why that's so popular. The games are entertaining enough in their own way, but none of them (and I've played all the post-Modern Warfare games) have been anything extraordinary IMO. Then again, I completely ignore multiplayer in my games, so that probably explains that.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on March 24, 2011, 12:51:54 AM: I'm the opposite, I've played only the multiplayer of Call of Duty. It's remarkable only in its feature set, everything else, from the maps to the weapons, are mostly uninteresting in design and/or bland.

I'm too young to have experienced McDonald's fries back when they cooked them in lard, so I have no idea if they were ever actually good. I just know I'd rather take the time to fry up my own batch, because they're much more tasty.

The fact that CocaCola tastes good only when something else is added to it speaks of its blandness. I do like Vanilla Coke, but it's only because of the vanilla, and vanilla creme soda is much better.

I guess blandness sells. It does have the widest appeal, after all.

McD's only changed their fries about 7 years ago after Super Size me came out in 2004.
Now the only thing worth pulling through a McD's drive thru for is the Sweet Ice Tea and even that is hit or miss.

Coca Cola took out their game winning ingredient(cocaine) many many decades ago, but they are still the only soda to contain product from the Cocoa plant where that Winning (tm by Charlie Sheen) ingredient is made from. Not sure why it has stayed as popular though.... especially after watching it desolve meat and then polish a chrome bumper better that dedicated products on Myth Busters a few years back.

Call of Duty... I haven't played it, so I can't really comment on it, but Activision needs to keep capturing that lightning in a bottle as many times as it can for as long as they can.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on March 24, 2011, 01:33:12 AM: The reason they stopped cooking in Lard was because a Hindu man sued them awhile back because they were cooked in Beef fat and he ate the fries rightly assuming they were vegetarian in nature, but as you may also know the Cow is a sacred animal in Hinduism so eating that was a serious offense to him and his religion. And of course McDonalds like any other business doesn't want to receive flak for being intolerant or offensive to various religions so they voluntarily just changed it. And I don't think it was that long ago when it happened because I remember it and I'm not an old man....

2004 like BnM said sounds about right.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on March 24, 2011, 01:43:12 AM: Pig fat would also be a problem because it would be offensive to Jews and Muslims. Not to mention that any animal fat period would be offensive to vegetarians and vegans.

Sadly, Trans Fat came about as a result of Lard being phased out. Lard is actually a lot healthier than trans fat is. The appeal that Lard has is that it remains solid at room temperature, which is important. Unfortunately, vegetable shortening generally does not stay solid at room temperature and therefore it gets chemically modified and converted into Trans Fat so that it is able to stay solid at room temperature. But it will clog up your arteries worse than anything. Back in the olden days Lard was used for most cooking and baking. Nowadays its all trans fat.

Post by: Mop it up on March 24, 2011, 01:48:17 AM: I don't think that's the reason they've stopped using such ingredients (or at least in the case of lard), it's because of the health nuts, who probably don't eat the stuff anyway. But I'm too lazy to look up the reasons why McDonald's food has changed over time.

All I know is that I've never liked their fries, they've been salty and soggy for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately, ever since Crisco cut out the trans fats, my own fries haven't been quite as tasty. I guess trans fats are good flavour.

All I know is that McDonalds fries use to be the best in fast food, and now they suck. While I understand the religious problems with perhaps why McDonalds can't cook them the way they used to, one of my childhood favorites foods is now essentially banned because people got offended. And if what Chozo said is true, we have even less healthy food now as a result. Hooray for political correctness and "Super-size Me", I guess. *sigh*

Everything that tastes good is bad for you and probably offends someone out there. I wish people would just find or do something else when they are offended, rather than ensuring that those that do enjoy it can't anymore.

I said "back when they cooked them in lard." I think 2004 is when they abolished "trans fats," whatever that is, and they haven't used lard since the late 80's, or maybe early 90's. Still too early for me to have had them, or at the least, remember them.

Actually back on 2007 or 2008 is when they abolished Trans Fats, 2004 is when they stopped using the oil/grease they were using and switched to vegetable oil or whatever it was.

and according to wiki

McDonald's was assumed to fry their fries for a total time of about 15 to 20 minutes, and with fries fried at least twice. The fries appear to contain beef tallow, or shortening.

Beef Tallow is beef lard not pork.

In 2004 after Super Size me they changed a long used recipe for their french fries due to overwhelming public perception thanks to that damn movie. That movie also led to the health craze that led to Trans Fat awareness across the country and McDonalds (and everyone else) had to change stuff again.

So we can all blame Super Size Me for ruining the only consistently good thing about McDonalds.

How in the **** do they keep selling Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors games? I guess it's just the culture, but doesn't Japan understand that those games are horrible?

They aren't horrible games. They're okay games. They're just the same games for the past eleven years :P:

The Warriors/Musou games are a guilty pleasure for me so I'm forgiving of its many faults. I loved playing beat'em ups video games when I was younger. Warriors games are those beat'em ups, in all their good and bad, multiplied. Sadly, they have not embraced the evolutions of that game conceit (be a guy/gal and melee smash or slash your way through baddies) that other games like Devil May Cry, God of War, or Ninja Gaiden brought.

It's frustrating for me because the Warriors games should be so much more awesome. It takes two things I love in my movies, Kung Fu and war, and combines them in to Kung Fu wars! That should be so awesome, but the Warriors games executes it in such a stilted, limited, unvaried, shallow, grinding and repetitive manner that is mediocre. It still makes for some good moments and it is always a pleasure to slowly have your allied color dominate the field (there's a reason why missions have 30 or 60 minute timers and it's because the game plays really well to slowly and surely pushing your army's front line). Hmm, I guess Warriors games can work like some sort of comfort food.

Lastly, it should be mentioned that (most of) the Warriors games are based on historical periods (Three Kingdoms era of China and Warring States period of Japan) that east asia appears to be crazy for. There are so many takes on the history and it never stops. Perhaps it is that fascination with those histories that fuels the success of Warriors games.

Being solid at room temperature is not a good thing, at least from a health perspective. The same thing that makes a fat a saturated fat, which is the bad kind of fat, is what makes it solid at room temperature. Being solid at room temperature means it's more likely to be able to be solid inside your body, which is bad.

However they recently changed Wendy's fries here in Canada and they SUCK now. I don't go to Wendy's anymore because of it.

It isn't "banned". There is no law or court order saying they can't cook with beef fat. They just VOLUNTARILY decided to change the recipe because of the controversy. Being a business, the last thing McDonald's wants to do is offend its customers or potential customers, so that's why they changed it. But that can work both ways, because apparently by changing the ingredients they managed to offend you and probably many others as well who preferred the old recipe. The problem is just that it is impossible to please everyone and since the people who were offended by Beef Fat (Hindus, Vegans, Vegetarians, etc.) likely outnumbered the people who are offended by the new vegetable oil (you and others who liked the old taste better), it was the logical thing to do.

But with that said, I'm sure the old french fries recipe is available online or in a book or something somewhere. If you like it badly enough you could figure out a way to make it at home yourself the way it used to be.

It's a de facto ban: in this day and age, if they hadn't changed the recipe they probably would have been sued on some grounds of religious intolerance or discrimination, especially because I don't believe at the time it was MD policy to tell people what was in their food before they bought it. I'm not "offended" by the change. I'm just disappointed and I've taken my occasional fast food shopping elsewhere. Oh well. Enough said.

Speaking of the Wendy's fries, though, I don't know what they did to yours up there, Ian, but I just had some today down here in Florida and they taste just fine.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on March 24, 2011, 05:25:23 PM: They changed Wendy's fries to this natural cut thing with sea salt. Looking at Wendys.com, the American site, you guys have the same thing so maybe you changed it a while ago? Wendy's used to have what my brother called "waffle fries". The shape was very square and they were a uniform yellow-ish colour and the salt was almost like a powder. Those fries were magic, only McDonald's tops them. They changed them a few months back. Some people say they prefer them but I think they completely suck. I've noticed it is usually those that don't eat fast food normally that like them. That is the general way business works these days, always changing to accomodate the people that aren't customers at the potential expense of those that that are.

Regarding the McDonald's fries I believe they were not indicating that their fries are not vegetarian. The general assumption is that fries are vegetarian since they're made from vegetables. Those offended by it could claim McDonald's was intentional deceiving them. McDonald's might have even said the fries were vegetarian. A cheeseburger isn't kosher but that doesn't matter becaues it so obvious that it isn't. But if you say a meal is kosher and it isn't I can see why you might get in hot water. I remember reading that McDonald's did claim the fries were vegetarian but I don't remember where. So I might be completely wrong about that.

Junk food has become a target. Obesity is a problem in the US so obviously the finger is pointed squarely at the companies making the unhealthy food including fast food chains. So every chain is going to play ball if the slightest controversy erupts.

A general rule in life is that things are compromised for the irrational. The reason broodwars doesn't get offended by the change of fries is because he's a reasonable person and reasonable people don't feel that fast food fries which no one is forcing them to buy are worth the effort. And no reasonable vegetarian or religious person practicing dietary laws would make a fuss either. It's the irrational lunatic who throws a fit until they get their way. Everyone else would just not eat McDonald's fries if they found out it had beef fat and that didn't work with their lifestyle.

I don't think you can sue a restaurant for using food that is against your religion, at least I certainly would seriously hope you can't do that. Because it would be bullshit if you could. But they do still sell products with beef in it such as their various hamburgers, and I'm sure Pig is present in their sausage and ham stuff. That isn't religious intolerance or discrimination.

The problem with the fries though, is like you said that it wasn't obvious that beef was an ingredient. If you order a hamburger you know beef is there, but with fries its not so obvious. But as for them "hiding" it, I don't think that's the case. I'm sure if someone were to ask or do some research they could have found out that beef was being used. They weren't hiding it, they just weren't openly stating on the label or the menu that it was there. But I think nowadays it would be a moot point because now they do list ingredients and nutritional information much more openly.

If they did then that would be a problem because that would be fraud, and one that grounds someone would be able to make a valid case to sue them. I don't remember all the details of the case with the Hindu suing them, but I know his beef was that he didn't know the beef fat was there. Whether that was because he just made an assumption and didn't bother doing research or whether McDonald's outright lied and said it wasn't in there I don't remember, but that's the critical thing in the case because if they lied then they are the ones at fault, but if the Hindu man just assumed and didn't look into it then he has only himself to blame for eating it.

But either way I fully support labels on all products which fully list all ingredients so that people have the information they need to make their own decisions. In my opinion there should never be "mystery ingredients" in food.

Trans fats might as well be banned, since almost every product that contained them has had them removed.

Actually, it still exists and is used more often than you might think. There's a loophole where if a product contains less than 0.5g of Trans fat per serving they are allowed to say it contains 0 grams. But one way you can tell if its there in something or not is to look in the ingredients. If you see "Partially Hydrogenated oil" then it contains Trans-far, because that's the scientific term for trans fat so if that's in the ingredients then trans fat is present, even if it says it contains 0g per serving. Of course, a lot of people don't limit themselves to a single serving of something, so odds are they are eating 1g or more when they eat something that claims to contain 0g per serving.

There is also "Fully Hydrogenated oil" in a lot of stuff which isn't considered a trans fat by the legal definition, but it is probably even worse healthwise.

You also need to watch out for stuff that contains Cottonseed oil, because due to a legal loophole Cotton isn't considered a food crop and therefore it isn't subject to the same stringent regulations regarding pesticides and other chemicals. So Cottonseed oil is likely to contain a lot of poisonous chemicals that is normally not allowed in food.

I'm pretty sure Xanthan gum is completely harmless. It is used as a thickener. I think it is harvested from microscopic organisms but I'm not really sure.

Umm... that's not a very good idea. There are some really, really stupid people out there. If you're going to limit ingredients to the list of things that can be identified by the lowest common denominator, then you're not going to have very much variety out there.

Unless, of course, you mean the lists should only contain items that you, yourself know... and that'd be a very weird law.

You can buy it in most grocery stores. I have some and I've used it. The main reason people use it is because it has properties similar to gluten, but some people have gluten intolerance so Xanthan gum is perfect for those people. Without Xanthan gum you couldn't make a gluten free pizza crust that is worth a crap, but thankfully xanthan gum makes it possible. It doesn't effect the taste of anything.

It's frustrating for me because the Warriors games should be so much more awesome. It takes two things I love in my movies, Kung Fu and war, and combines them in to Kung Fu wars! That should be so awesome, but the Warriors games executes it in such a stilted, limited, unvaried, shallow, grinding and repetitive manner that is mediocre. It still makes for some good moments and it is always a pleasure to slowly have your allied color dominate the field (there's a reason why missions have 30 or 60 minute timers and it's because the game plays really well to slowly and surely pushing your army's front line). Hmm, I guess Warriors games can work like some sort of comfort food.

The pacing in Chronicles is hard and fast, there's constantly bonus timers or life bars ticking down and territory control doesn't really matter as the standard soldier mobs aren't going to do your objectives for you, they're mostly a crowd that will stab you in the back at the worst possible time while you fight one of the dozens of named enemies on the field (so the game feels more like a fighting game since you're fighting named dudes almost the whole time and might have been deeper if your main character couldn't just insta-fill a musou gauge by using their spirit gauge which can be filled by using the musou attack...). It's just too easy to run past the soldier groups, they have no value to your mission.

If you live near the border and need a McDonalds fries fix come to Canada. The fries are still as good as they ever were! American McDonalds fries taste like weird potato chips. Now I don't know if the Canadian fries are what the American fries used to taste like but they've been the same my whole life so at the very least they haven't screwed with them.

However they recently changed Wendy's fries here in Canada and they SUCK now. I don't go to Wendy's anymore because of it.
I'm there with you. I liked the old Wendy's fries. Now they are "Natural Cut" and have "Sea Salt" as if those terms make the fries better. They are worse for it. My favorite fries right now are Burger King fries. Whatever recipe they use I like a lot.

It's just too easy to run past the soldier groups, they have no value to your mission.

I disagree in that they have no value but only very slightly. From my experience with the series, it is better to have your mob with you during a fight with an enemy named hero or commander. As you mentioned, the mob soldiers take pot stabs. So, probably in your best interest for it to be your mob. Thinning the herd for your guys helps push them up and that can be done quickly by taking out the leader in the unnamed enemy groups. Still, it is only a minuscule benefit you gain for going through the trouble. On lower or even normal difficulty levels it is usually easy enough to just rush the named enemy heroes and officers.

I haven't paid much attention to Samurai Warriors Chronicles, but the main character creator looks quite interesting. I've been taking a gander at Dynasty Warriors 7 that is coming out March 29th and some of the new wrinkles (switching between two weapons and air musou attacks for starters) Omega added look interesting.

Actually, there's really no difference between them at all. The only differences are that regular salt is mined from the ground and sea salt comes from, well... the sea. Either way, its still Sodium Chloride.

When you're talking fast food, that's exactly right. People who like fast food want it to taste like fast food. I like hamburgers but if I'm having a hamburger craving I would never get a Big Mac. I think of the Big Mac as its own unique thing, that I get when I'm craving specifically a Big Mac.

They try to cater to the people who thumb their nose at fast food with all sorts of "natural" and "healthy" menu items. To tie it in with Nintendo it's like making videogames for people that don't like videogames. ;) Natural cut fries with sea salt is the Wii remote of fast food.

I like how Carl's Jr. (which sadly is not only not in Canada but is very scarce in Washington state as well, making the closest one several hours away) more or less flaunts that they make unhealthy fattening food. They know their market and aren't going to BS around.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stogi on March 29, 2011, 11:22:46 AM: ****, that reminds me. When I lived in Indi for a summer, I had the hook up at Hardee's (Carl Jr's). I worked at a Hollywood Video next door to it, so the manager and I traded burgers for movies.

I ate there at least once a week. I would get what I called the "Maafuckin' Thick Burger Nigga" on sour dough ("What up man?! What can I get you?" "Let me get a Maafuckin' Thick Burger Nigga"). Every time I ate one though....man, I passed out within the hour.

As for Natural Fast Food being inherently bad, I suggest you try out Chipotle. There as natural as you can get for fast food and it's amazing.

Post by: Louieturkey on March 29, 2011, 05:55:17 PM: Chipotle is tasty. I think it's one step up from Taco Bell in the Amerimex fast food genre. I'd take Del Taco over both of them though. :)

Post by: Stogi on March 29, 2011, 06:02:31 PM: Yeah. There are plenty of great mexican restaurants where I live, but when it comes to "Amerimex" it's always a toss up between Qdoba and Chipotle.

& I think it is the fact that there are no GREAT games to play (outside of SSFIV) and no GREAT games are scheduled util after E3.
They've had the system out for a month and no new good games have launched outside of the launch titles.

edit: That and the price of course.

post edit pre post edit: I'm sure the recent events had something to do with it too.
You know, finding comfort in something that is known and having a bunch of budget titles released vs Nintendo having their launch hype cut at the knees effectively killing the word of mouth & viral campaigns.

Post by: Stratos on March 31, 2011, 03:04:15 AM: Considering the disaster in Japan I'm not going to expect sales to rise for a while.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: broodwars on March 31, 2011, 03:13:37 AM: I wonder how much battery life plays into this given how the tsunami in Japan has damaged the power grid, maybe steering people towards buying stuff that won't shut down after 2-3 hours? I also wonder how much health issues with the 3D effect play into the 3DS sales. The Japanese are already infamous for having issues with motion sickness in 1st person games, so I wonder how much worse the effects of long-term exposure to the 3D screens of the 3DS are there. I've seen people I never would have thought would have health issues with games rendered sick by that device, so it probably plays some role (even if you can turn the 3D effect off, in which case you have a $300 device on-par graphically with the PSP and with an inferior library).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on March 31, 2011, 09:55:46 AM: "On-par graphically with the PSP" is a load of crap, as is 2-3 hour battery life. It's more or less on par with the Wii, whereas the PSP isn't quite as good as the PS2, and about twice that in battery life.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on March 31, 2011, 10:28:17 AM: In light of the disaster and the declining sales, perhaps Nintendo should consider lowering the price of it. When I first heard they raised the MSRP to $249 I felt they were being greedy just because they could get away with it. Well, maybe they can't get away with it.

Of course there is. I'm just throwing out possibilities for why a "last-generation" handheld like the PSP would outsell Nintendo's latest golden child. As for the battery life, Giant Bomb was just talking about the 3DS battery life and they've also seen around 3 hours of play before needing to charge (for another 3 hours). As for the graphical comment, perhaps I should have reprhased that: there is very little graphically impressive about the 3DS launch software. In fact, I'd pretty much say there's nothing impressive about the launch software period outside perhaps Super Street Fighter IV. All the worthwhile games are coming later this year and the coming years. Meanwhile, the PSP has a big RPG re-release (yes, I know...FF IV AGAIN, but the Japanese sure seem to love it) and has a pretty solid lineup of games that appeal to the Japanese like Monster Hunter.

I'm sure once the 3DS has a lineup worth buying the hardware for, it'll pick up again and we probably won't see the PSP outselling it. Well, maybe it could again if the PSP gets another Monster Hunter game.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 31, 2011, 12:42:13 PM: PSP also just had a price drop

& 3DS doesn't have any other games launching that I think would turn the tides until after E3 (maybe mid-May and later)

with the recent disaster, the high price point & the lack of good new software to play, Nintendo now has to put more money back into marketing instead of letting the release HYPE do most of the work. It also doesn't help that the PSP just had a price drop, got a major re-release and has MHP.

But I'm sure if it wasn't for recent events, 3DS might have set another sales record in Japan as I think it was on track to do so.

It's frustrating for me because the Warriors games should be so much more awesome. It takes two things I love in my movies, Kung Fu and war, and combines them in to Kung Fu wars! That should be so awesome, but the Warriors games executes it in such a stilted, limited, unvaried, shallow, grinding and repetitive manner that is mediocre. It still makes for some good moments and it is always a pleasure to slowly have your allied color dominate the field (there's a reason why missions have 30 or 60 minute timers and it's because the game plays really well to slowly and surely pushing your army's front line). Hmm, I guess Warriors games can work like some sort of comfort food.

The pacing in Chronicles is hard and fast, there's constantly bonus timers or life bars ticking down and territory control doesn't really matter as the standard soldier mobs aren't going to do your objectives for you, they're mostly a crowd that will stab you in the back at the worst possible time while you fight one of the dozens of named enemies on the field (so the game feels more like a fighting game since you're fighting named dudes almost the whole time and might have been deeper if your main character couldn't just insta-fill a musou gauge by using their spirit gauge which can be filled by using the musou attack...). It's just too easy to run past the soldier groups, they have no value to your mission.

I disagree in that they have no value but only very slightly. From my experience with the series, it is better to have your mob with you during a fight with an enemy named hero or commander. As you mentioned, the mob soldiers take pot stabs. So, probably in your best interest for it to be your mob. Thinning the herd for your guys helps push them up and that can be done quickly by taking out the leader in the unnamed enemy groups. Still, it is only a minuscule benefit you gain for going through the trouble. On lower or even normal difficulty levels it is usually easy enough to just rush the named enemy heroes and officers.

I haven't paid much attention to Samurai Warriors Chronicles, but the main character creator looks quite interesting. I've been taking a gander at Dynasty Warriors 7 that is coming out March 29th and some of the new wrinkles (switching between two weapons and air musou attacks for starters) Omega added look interesting.

In Chronicles you have four named characters under your command, if you need additional manpower you can order one of them to join you (they're pretty good fighters when they're in the fully simulated area of the battle, i.e. near your controlled character). That's much better for stacking the odds than bringing some grunts along. Of course you'll often face 2-3 named enemies at once too.

Ooo, that sounds like a wonderful change. It's a shame that I haven't heard any thing like it for Dynasty Warriors 7. I think it would be a welcome addition to the home console line of games.

In fact, I'd pretty much say there's nothing impressive about the launch software period outside perhaps Super Street Fighter IV.

I suppose that's true if you're only looking at the Japanese launch, since they didn't get PilotWings or Ghost Recon (as if that would have any chance of succeeding in Japan... well, maybe if you swapped out the assets for a more generic fantasy style and had it published by Nintendo or Square-Enix). They did get Ridge Racer, though, I'm pretty sure, and I've really enjoyed that, though I've never played any game in the series before.

How is selling almost a million units in 1 month bad?

Two reasons:

1) It isn't being sold out. This means more are being shipped than are being sold.

2) The PSP of all things outsold it, and this is something that should not have happened under any circumstances.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on March 31, 2011, 06:57:15 PM: The PSP costs probably about half as much as the 3DS, and has 6 years worth of games compared to just the launch lineup for the 3DS. The best 3DS launch games in Japan are Street Fighter, which is available on other systems, and Ridge Racer, which is available in some form on basically everything. A million units, with that price and those games, and with what's been going on in the country, is very good.

No, it doesn't. However, it does have Monster Hunter, and apparently that makes up for it (in Japan at least).

There's a handful. 6 years worth? I don't think so!

Depends on habits. Lord knows the hours that I plugged in to Ace Combat, DJ Max Portable, and Macross Ultimate Frontier.

Sort of like with some sentiments leveled at the Wii being Nintendo-only, there are cool games to play on the PSP if you dig hard enough through the library. Of course, this may be owner's bias and buyer's remorse talking.

Post by: Louieturkey on April 02, 2011, 03:38:41 PM: But like you said, there is no killer app for the system yet that gets everyone to drop their DS/PSP and go out and get a 3DS. PSP didn't start to really sell until Monster Hunter Portable was released. DS didn't really start to sell until Brain Training was released. Once 3DS gets its game, it'll always be out of stock everywhere.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on April 02, 2011, 08:19:14 PM: The $249 price tag certainly isn't helping matters either. That's $100 more than what the original DS launched at.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on April 04, 2011, 07:11:16 PM: And the original DS dropped to $129 really fast.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on April 04, 2011, 07:53:22 PM: I'm betting Nintendo really regrets that. Most of the DS's sales came after the price drop, but I'll bet most people who bought one at $130 would have paid $150, and that's a lot of money that Nintendo left on the table.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on April 04, 2011, 07:57:59 PM: There's only a 385-unit difference between the PSP and 3DS for that week, so it's really not a big deal at all. There are many factors for it which have already been mentioned, but I think people underestimate just how much of a sales spike a new Final Fantasy game can create. So the main reason the PSP came out on top is because of the release of Final Fantasy IV Complete Collection.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 06, 2011, 01:16:43 PM: I guess PSP games became the popular thing all of a sudden.
8 games in the Top 20 and it outsold the 3DS for the 2nd week in a row.

Capcom better announce that MH3DS soon or the 3DS could be in trouble in Japan.

Post by: Ceric on April 06, 2011, 01:52:40 PM: 3DS could be availability and lets be honest about the launch titles.

Professor Layton - Large Cult Following who would probably buy a Layton Device
SSF4 - Large Competative Following who probably buy an SSF Device (and if the 3DS become the Leagues and like platform then well...)
Pilotwing - Nintendo Fan who would probably by a 3DS eventually anyways

Much like the DS itself this will take time. Unlike the DS it will also take a good price drop to get a lot of the DS market. Not to mention the whole eye explosion under 7 thing.

3DS could be availability
Quote from: @gypsyOtoko
So it seems like anywhere you go, be it in Japan or otherwise, there's #3DS stock. So, is there just low demand, or ample supply? (http://twitter.com/gypsyOtoko/status/53285795058024448)
And in fact,

Quote from: Andriasang
The 3DS is no longer supply constrained. In fact, retailers like Amazon are giving it a small discount of around ¥1,000. PSP, on the other hand, appears to be continuing to sell out. A quick check at a few major online retailers found zero stock. One of our favorite retailer Twitter feeds, the Sofmap at Nihonbashi, mentioned a quick sellout of the PSP once new stock was received earlier today.
So, it's actually the exact opposite situation!
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 06, 2011, 02:25:18 PM: 3DS isn't exactly bombing in Japan, but it's way behind what was expected.

They were to have ~1.15 million available in Japan before end of the Fiscal year, I would assume they were all assembled before the earthquake. That would mean that they have ~300k units sitting in shops around the country.

But that's not really where the problem is. The highest selling 3DS game this week sold < 13k.
Nintendo left the launch in the hands of the 3rd Parties, and they fumbled it bad, with the exception of SSFIV which isn't even on the charts and has failed miserably (less than 70k sold 3 weeks ago and hasn't placed Top 20 since).
Neither Pilotwings or Nintendogs are systems sellers and casuals likely aren't buying at ~$330 US (I think that's what it translated to). They need a real 1st party effort (or MH3DS) out to boost sales and OoT3D doesn't come out till June and I don't think that will be the system seller they are hoping for.

It's possible that the May update may turn things around with the eShop and people may be holding out for that (I know I'm not even considering a purchase until after that update) and VC games. So maybe all they can do is just waiti it out for now, but it's kinda embarrassing to see the PSP suddenly have a resurgence after the 3DS is released when it's been long considered dead outside of MH. They need a big announcement or start releasing games for the core audience that is willing to buy now and not wait for a price drop.

Except look at the sales for the latest Final Fantasy IV port: they're not that impressive this week, with a significant decrease (70%) since last week. And note that despite the game selling worse this week, the PSP actually dramatically outsold the 3DS this week (as opposed to being a virtual tie last week). I suppose a new Dragon Quest boosted things in Sony's favor, but note the lack of 3DS software on that top 10 list.

The 3DS may not be a bomb right now, but it's sure not selling to Nintendo's expectations. Considering the weak launch lineup in all regions; the overly-bloated price; and the minor health issues caused by the 3D mode (in a country already proven susceptible to display issues), I can't say they should be surprised.

Another victim of the typical 3rd party attitude on Nintendo systems. Which is why I don't really care all that much whether or not Nintendo has good 3rd party support. Sure, I'll support them when one of their teams actually gives a damn and crafts a fun an entertaining experience for my Wii -- they may be few and far between, but they still happen -- but the rest of the time, screw 'em.

However, there are one or two notable exceptions, such as Capcom.

Keep in mind that the 3DS was rushed to market for the sheer purpose of negating Nintendo's weak fiscal year. In many cases, 3rd parties probably didn't have the time to get the truly worthwhile software ready for primetime, so they put out what they could and often it wasn't good.

My thoughts on that were that sure, maybe it was rushed to market and 3rd parties didn't have as much time to prepare, but is a game like Rayman 3DS really the best Ubisoft could do? If you are limited to ports, why not choose ports that could be way better?

It also takes forever whatever platform its on.

On a related note, I'm sure the price is a result of the profit margin Nintendo wants to make on it. Probably were originally going to take a slightly less profit margin but, decided to take their regular margin after the initial reactions. 3D screens are still scary to a lot of consumers. Being sarcastic earlier on the eye thing. I could see it not working for someone younger due to face dimensions and like.

SSF4 - Large Competative Following who probably buy an SSF Device

Any serious Street Fighter fan already bought a PS3 or Xbox 360 as their "SSF Device". Hardware fightings fans would never bother with a handheld. SSF4 is for the odd fan that absolutely HAS to have the game on the go and Nintendo fans who only own Wiis and had no prior access to the game on a Nintendo platform. There is an obvious reason for it to sell poorly - the target audience bought it a long time ago on another system.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 06, 2011, 05:45:01 PM: I also remember devs talking back at CES (or was it GDC) last year about how Nintendo told them to aim for an Xmas 2010 launch.

I would assume that if Nintendo was announcing it in March, devs knew about it since atleast sometime in 2009, so that gave them 3 months at minimum to figure out what they wanted to make/port and then a whole year to make it happen.

There are plenty of games coming out on PSP that could have been "up-ported" to 3DS. There are plenty of PS360 games that could have been down-ported to 3DS. Hell, there are Wii games that could have been translated and side-ported to the 3DS if they really wanted to.

If 3rd parties aren't absolutely blowing us all away at E3 this year, then IMO Nintendo did 3rd parties a favor in bad faith with the 3DS. I hope they don't make the same mistake with the Wii2HD3D and not have 1 major core title at launch for the 3rd parties to compliment with their own offerings.

Which is why I think it would have made more sense to port over Marvel vs Capcom 3(D Edition) instead since it would have been a near simultaneous launch on 3 platforms with a new game instead of hoping 3DS owners haven't played SSFIV to death already on a home console.

Post by: MegaByte on April 06, 2011, 06:00:12 PM: In talking with 3rd parties, only some were able to get kits (or only one kit for a long time), and some were explicitly prevented from releasing at launch. So, the situation isn't as simple as Nintendo trying to give the launch benefit to 3rd parties.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread

There's only a 385-unit difference between the PSP and 3DS for that week, so it's really not a big deal at all.

That's about the amount of votes that determined Bush won the election in Florida back in 2000. Would you say those 300 or so votes didn't matter?

Now look, I'm not saying the PSP outsold the 3DS by a lot, but that's beside the point. The PSP could have outsold the 3DS by just a single unit and it would still be just as bad. It might not mean much from a logical standpoint, but it does mean something from a psychological point of view. When your most recent system gets outsold by the 2nd place system from last gen it is humiliating....

I wonder if you can be arrested for voter fraud for buying both a 3DS and a PSP in the same week.

Wait a minute. The rules of voting don't apply to console sales? Oh, right. Hey guys, pack your bags. The Wii failed. The PS2 outsold it that first quarter it was on the market, so there's no way it'll ever succeed. America has voted, and this time millions of people voted PS2 over Wii. Time to throw in the towel.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: that Baby guy on April 07, 2011, 12:20:58 PM: Psychologically. That's a word worth looking at. Psycho-, in brief, means "Mind." Logic, in a word, means "reasoning." You're contradicting yourself when you say logically, it doesn't mean anything, but psychologically, it means something. If you can logically deduce it's meaningless, psychologically, you've deduced it doesn't matter. Morale is affected by logic, and I think for the people it matters, few-to-none would find the notion that the recently-discounted PSP, the PSP which also received a major title in the week of sales we're discussing, slightly outsold a new, more expensive handheld widely criticized for a lack of launch games demoralizing.

No one cared back when the PS2 was outselling the Wii. Few saw an issue when the NES still had games being made after the SNES and Genesis were released. The PSX was given a major new look and a portable screen when the PS2 came out, and it sold like hotcakes. Again, no one really cared all that much. Comparing sales numbers to an election doesn't work. It's senseless. Elections and console sales aren't even apples and oranges. They're apples and jellyfish, maybe.

I read what you said. When I respond to people, I read what they say first. That way, my response can be adequate. I understand some people respond to threads (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=33990.msg665071#msg665071) without reading what's been said, but I do read before I respond.

DeBlob 2 numbers are coming in--damn this game didn't sell on any platform. Damn shame IMO :(.

Shame that Earth Defence Force 2 Portable suffers from a horrible frame rate due to how many giant bugs and huge explosions there are on screen.

I see that Nintendogs + cats and Professor Layton are still charting. Oh! And Donkey Kong Country Returns too. Come on Donkey Kong, you can reach 1 million in Japan.

I don't think it's going to make it. If it continues at its current pace, it will get there in 30 weeks... but sales keep slowing so I don't think that will happen.

Haha! I guess it is.
From what I could find on Youtube, it looks like the PS2 Earth Defence Force 2 is able to handle far more stuff on screen before the frame rate starts to chop up badly.

Post by: broodwars on April 14, 2011, 11:54:14 PM: I'm really curious why NPD counts both versions of the latest Pokemon as separate SKUs. They're the same damn game.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Enner on April 15, 2011, 12:11:40 AM: Good question. I guess the different names throws them off. Then again, that wouldn't explain why limited editions are counted with their base game.

Really surprised Homefront charted so high. Maybe it's the marketing that I haven't been paying attention to.
Crysis 2 is kinda low. I guess it's the late March release. Despite it being dumbed-sequel and yet-another-FPS, I hope it gets whatever success it can earn; I quite liked what I played of its predecessors.
Can't use the same excuse for Fight Night Champion which was released on March 1st. I'm not in to fighting, sports, or simulation games, but Champion looked really cool.

It makes sense to me, because many people buy both so it inflates sales. What doesn't make sense is why they would separate them but not multiplatform releases, which usually have differences across platforms.

Yeah, that was my point. NPD made a big deal about the fact that they were combining SKUs now, but apparently Pokemon is still allowed to be treated as separate releases. Double-standard, much?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on April 15, 2011, 12:33:18 AM: Wii - 290k

I wonder if this had something to do with the Wii price cut to $150. You have to figure Nintendo has access to these sales figures well in advance of when we get them, so they knew about this and probably decided it was time for a price cut. But even though a price cut will boost hardware sales, it isn't really going to address the fact the top 10 is devoid of Wii software.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on April 15, 2011, 10:27:55 AM: Steel Diver is the only new franchise in the 3DS top 10. Everything else you can get on other systems. This has to be at least part of the reason why 3DS sales have stalled. I'm sure that will change once more games start to show up for it.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: ymeegod on April 16, 2011, 12:41:32 AM: Actually that's not true, from what I've read, Ghost Recon is a turn-based tatics game for the 3DS. Namely a spinoff with the same title, but it's 100% exclusive I think.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KDR_11k on April 16, 2011, 03:10:21 AM: Well, he's talking about franchises, as pointless as that may be (Pilotwings hasn't seen a new game for MANY years so counting it as nothing new is pretty silly).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on April 16, 2011, 11:01:31 AM: Well in the case of Pilotwings I heard there was one in development for the Wii, but I looked and it appears it was canceled. Maybe the 3DS version is based from that? But I was wrong because I had assumed a Wii version did exist.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 16, 2011, 12:12:48 PM: Factor 5 was supposedly developing Pilotwings Wii.

Nintendo pulled all funding from the company and that part of the reason why they went under.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on April 16, 2011, 12:31:32 PM: I hope they had a good reason for it. Seems like a pretty mean thing to do.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Enner on April 16, 2011, 02:13:56 PM: They most likely had a good reason if you look at Factor 5's Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 3 - Rebel Strike and Lair. Those two games have their fair share of problems. Even though I still hold some love for it, Rogue Leader doesn't hold up well as a flight combat game when you compare it to the Ace Combat series. Oh, how it would be so lovely to have Project Aces take a crack at a Star Wars space fighter game. They already have lots of experience in making trench and tunnel runs for high speed aircraft.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 16, 2011, 04:24:45 PM: Their reasons had nothing to do with the games themselves.

Factor 5 was in financial ruins and Nintendo was afraid that their development money would go towards paying the employees from other projects that had gone months without being paid. In other words, Nintendo money would go towards keeping the company afloat instead of actually developing the games it was intended for.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Enner on April 16, 2011, 04:50:02 PM: Oh yeah. I forgot about how they had so many money troubles. Sad and shameful end to a developer house that pumped out some pretty cool technical stuff.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on April 16, 2011, 07:07:45 PM: Its a shame when employees don't get paid, but its not Nintendo's responsibility to pay the employees of some other company. If that's the reason they pulled funding, I can understand. Too bad for the employees, though.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 20, 2011, 02:27:10 PM: All hardware is down this week

PSP is having shortages in Japan & 9 games in the Top 20

Wii is on life support... minus any actual support. (there are no new games next week while PSP gets 5)

But on the bright side, DQMJ 2 has a sudden increase of interest & 3DS won for the week*

*but only because there are PSP shortages in Japan right now... who would've predicted this?

Post by: Chozo Ghost on April 20, 2011, 03:44:18 PM: Its nice that the 3DS is outselling the PSP again finally, but its not good to know that this is only due to PSP shortages.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: GoldenPhoenix on April 21, 2011, 04:34:10 AM: I seem to recall the DS not selling amazingly well for several months, if I remember correctly, mainly started picking up when the bigger titles were released for it (I want to say Mario Kart DS). Heck I remember right before the PSP launched how people were saying it was doomed. Handheld systems have never really sold like consoles do at launch.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Enner on April 21, 2011, 05:36:48 AM: Its been so long since the last home console launch that I forgot what they look like. Anyway, it's still early in the 3DS's life and I think it will take a year or two to see how things shake out.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Sundoulos on April 21, 2011, 08:17:38 AM: It's not exactly surprising that PSP is doing well against the 3DS right now, though...at this point, it's a significantly cheaper alternative with a pretty good libary at this point. I still haven't gotten one, but I've always wanted one in order to play old PS-era RPGs.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 25, 2011, 04:09:27 PM: Looks like 3DS sold 3.61M by the end of March

Quote
Iwata addressed additional sales opportunities for the 3DS, saying that Nintendo would be releasing the system in China and developing countries as soon as preparations are made, possibly this year. Nintendo set a sales target of 16 million units for the 3DS this year. During the previous fiscal year, the system sold 3.61 million units, just shy of its original target of 4 million.

I guess sales weren't as bad as they seemed with all things considered.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Enner on April 25, 2011, 04:14:02 PM: So close! Hopefully Nintendo can take lessons from the 3DS launch for their next system launches. You can't roll out a system with little that must be played.

I think it was because it wasn't sold out with lines of people everywhere like the Wii launch and console launches in general. People seemed to forget that it's a handheld.

Releasing it in China? I wonder if it just means shipping over some Japanese units or if they will actually have Chinese boxes and language.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on April 25, 2011, 09:40:52 PM: The system sold better than any of Nintendo's other handhelds at launch, so it did just fine. It's just that Nintendo produced a lot of them and didn't sell out all that stock. Considering its relatively high price tag and lack of any real killer app, I think it sold very well.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on April 26, 2011, 12:14:55 AM: China is a growing market. They might still be considered "developing" but they're not far from developed really. It is wise for Nintendo to try and take advantage of that. Of course, piracy is a major issue there, but considering how well Nintendo designed the 3DS to ward off piracy it might not be a problem.

I know, I'm living there. I'm curious because I might actually buy one depending on the region it uses.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on April 27, 2011, 12:56:35 PM: I'm surprised that MS hasn't gone up substantially the last year. This must not be taking into account Microsoft Gaming Studio because I'm fairly sure they were profitable before the XBox. I'm surprised we didn't sea dip from 2009 to 2010 for Nintendo. They make it sound that way. Though if I was running a company having that much profits would make me wonder if I'm doing enough R&D or if maybe I should diversify because it seems bubblish.

Be nice to see this for shipped units...

Good find SalesBot.

Post by: Enner on April 27, 2011, 03:14:11 PM: Microsoft still hasn't made money from being in the video games business? Damn.
Even more impressive is how Nintendo seems to never has had a year where it didn't make an income.

Oh, the Pokemon typing game came out taking a top place.

Post by: Lithium on April 27, 2011, 05:31:14 PM: well the chart is for total income so you can see the line going up at the end of fiscal 2007 the reason why the line isn't over 0 is because they haven't recouped the total losses

I'm stunned that Nintendo actually wants to get Mario Kart 3DS out this year, when there would probably be another couple of years worth of good sales for Mario Kart DS.
I actually wonder if Mario Kart DS will still sell even with a sequel out. New Super Mario Brothers still tops the charts even though its Wii sequel is arguably better, so the same could hold true here. I know there's a bit of a difference between the examples, but even so, some people may still buy Mario Kart DS because it's cheaper or because they don't have/want a 3DS or because it has different tracks or...

Yeah, I'd argue that. Wii sequel has no Mario vs. Luigi mode. NSMB is in my top three on my 3DS play list just because of Mario vs. Luigi mode.

Post by: Mop it up on April 29, 2011, 06:01:03 PM: How does the Mario and Luigi mode differ from the battle modes in the Wii game? I have never played the Mario and Luigi mode since my one friend with a DS does not like to play games competitively, so I don't know what it's like.

It's like Mana from the Gods. The battle modes in the Wii game absolutely suck in comparison. In fact, I actually felt gypped when I played them. :(

Skip ahead in this video about two minutes in.

Warning, these kids absolutely suck at this game. It makes me sad. I'd tear them a new one if I played them... but then, a co-worker and I play this virtually every single day. :D

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on May 11, 2011, 10:08:39 PM: This is going to be sad if the PSP overtakes the 3DS in YTD sales (which it is on the verge of doing).

I know you all are going to say it doesn't matter, but it matters to me. Look at my title.

Post by: Enner on May 11, 2011, 11:25:20 PM: Hopefully, there will be must have games for the 3DS in this year to prevent that.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on May 11, 2011, 11:48:02 PM: 3DS has ~3 weeks @ these current numbers to do something to prevent a YTD take over.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on May 12, 2011, 10:54:35 PM: Looks like the Wii price cuts came at a good time. 3DS sales are disappointing, but not unexpected considering the existing library and price of the system; that could benefit from a price cut as well.

As for the PS3, it is fortunate the PSN hacking occurred near the end of April or else sales figures would probably have been worse. I'm sure it will have an impact on May's sales, but we will have to wait and see.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Enner on May 13, 2011, 03:09:20 AM: It would be funny if it remains the same so it would somewhat support the (very) old Nintendo (at least I seem to recall some executive quoting) saying of not many people care about online. However, given the media exposure of the PSN hack, it is likely that PS3 sales will drop.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on May 13, 2011, 12:08:21 PM: More people are selling/trading in their PS3 because of what happened. I dont think sales of those used PS3s get counted in NPD sales, but you have to figure the used market will cut into sales for new consoles somewhat.

The 3DS needs Monster Hunter, then it will stomp the PSP.

Post by: Ymeegod on May 18, 2011, 11:16:26 PM: WII just needs games period. Bought one new title (De Blob 2) this year and it looks like a couple more months before anything worthwhile :( .

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: KisakiProject on May 25, 2011, 12:32:23 PM: 3DS is starting to be in serious trouble. DOA sells 5 times that in opening weeks on XBOX in japan which never got to half the current 3DS base.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on May 25, 2011, 05:53:32 PM: I think the 3DS selling poorly is a good thing. Nintendo half-assed the DS launch and they were damn lucky that that didn't completely sink the system. They look at that and look at a pretty half-assed Wii launch and get the idea that this is acceptable or maybe even a key part of a successful videogame system. That is not the right lesson to learn - that you can half-ass it because enough suckers will buy it anyway. That sort of attitude leads to a compromised product and inspires taking advantage of your customers.

So it's about time this bit them in the ass because it SHOULD have bit them in the ass with the DS launch. Maybe next time they won't try to take advantage of us because it didn't work. Their recent success has made them cocky so they needed to get slapped back down to Earth and be humbled.

I also wonder if all of their constant revisions of their handhelds has finally caught up to them and the 3DS is underselling because consumers finally clued in and figure the 3DS XP Lite is coming out down the line. The DSi was an outright con and that probably did them no favours in customer goodwill either.

Post by: NWR_insanolord on May 25, 2011, 11:31:59 PM: At this point, the 3DS is in no way in any serious trouble. If it's still not selling well during the holidays, once there's a much better software lineup for it (though I resent the accusation that what's there now is trash; I defy you to name a recent hardware launch with a significantly better lineup), then it's in serious trouble.

Nintendo half-assed the DS launch and they were damn lucky that that didn't completely sink the system.

The original DS also had a mediocre lukewarm performance until about 6 months later when Nintendogs and some other titles came out. But this time around Nintendogs is a launch title, so I guess Nintendo was thinking for that reason it should have had a strong performance right off the bat. It actually probably would have were it not for the steep $250 MSRP attached to it. I seriously think that's what is doing more harm right now than the library of games. $199 would have been a much more attractive price, and I'm sure they would have still been profitable with that.

Alright, how far back do you want to define as "recent", because if we can use just this console generation I'd easily nominate the 360? I don't remember most of that system's launch lineup, but I do remember both Condemned: Criminal Origins and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion being 360 launch titles and both are excellent games for their respective genres.

Actually, looking at the list of games here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360_launch), that's a pretty good list of titles in general for a console launch.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on May 26, 2011, 02:25:57 AM: Oblivion's not on the list in the link you gave. I've never played Condemned, so I can't speak to that. Past that, it's largely sports games, which tend not to be that good in their first iteration on new hardware, and ports from other systems. It's probably better than the 3DS, but not by all that much, and I did say significantly better.

My point is, Pilotwings is fantastic, Ghost Recon and Ridge Racer are pretty good, and there are several other worthy titles as well. It's not a bad lineup at all.

Oblivion released in March of 2006, a good 4 months after the 360 came out. Nintendo would call that "in the launch window", and for some reason I think Game Informer reviewed it at launch because I still have that issue. ;)
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: ymeegod on May 26, 2011, 04:02:47 AM: Didn't the 360 launch with Call of Duty 2, PGR3, PDO, Kameo, and Amped. Wasn't bad at all of the US launch the Japanese laucnh was a disaster though.

The 3DS highest rated game is SSF4 which was released a year+ prior. Ghost Recon is second at 8.0 and the rest fall below that. At least in Japan the 3DS got an Layton game :(.

Still I don't think it's going matter much as long as the end-of-the-year titles come out.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on May 26, 2011, 06:39:24 AM: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is a great game. It was actually one of the first games I got when I got my PS3 and I used the $50 promotional credit on Amazon towards that. It is made by the same company who made Fallout 3 and it also uses the same engine, so its like a medieval/fantasy version of Fallout 3. Check it out if you get a chance...

But I have to say it does have a large number of bugs and it also sucks that the PS3 version of it is completely devoid of trophies. I would recommend the 360 or PC version if possible.

The sequel Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is due for release in November of this year. There is a possibility it could get ported to the Cafe.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Enner on May 26, 2011, 08:41:17 AM: If it gets ported, it will most likely have whatever DLC they added in the year between the 360/PS3/PC versions and the Cafe version. Or there will be new content to be released alongside the part ala the Shivering Isles expansion (I think that was the case with Shivering Isles).

I can't but I think that launches in general have become pretty damn weak. Though the PSP's wasn't bad but it had nothing to follow it up. I think less effort is being made to have good launches because of the assumption that early adopters will buy the initial stock anyway.

I think what the 3DS is missing is a killer app. You're going to buy a whole new system for Pilotwings, Steel Diver and a port of SFIV? I'm not a fan of Wii Sports but I got why people liked it and it made sense that people would buy a whole system for it. Note that on the SNES and N64 Pilotwings was a supporting launch title. Mario sold you on the system and then Pilotwings was that other title you bought.

Yeah, me too because it certainly is something that feels fresh and new (even though it's really just a modern evolution of the Adventure game). The game has plenty of problems, but I feel much better it being at the top of the charts than something like Black Ops...again.

I am sad to see that Brink has done alright, because the reviews and player feedback on the game have been so scathing.

Slow sales month overall, though.

Mm, yeah.

We'll see if Brink holds up next month. The game had interesting ideas and promise but they did not work out. It's a shame because Splash Damage has made well-regarded team-based shooters and I hoped that Brink would continue that trend.

Post by: Luigi Dude on June 14, 2011, 05:27:15 PM: So yeah, we now have Nintendo numbers.

Wii: 236K

3DS: 97K

So the Wii price cut did indeed help boast sales, but the 3DS continues to fall. At the very least with Ocarina of Time out in June, the 3DS should get a nice boast in North America since almost everything with Zelda in the title (except 4 Swords Adventure) manages to be a million seller over here. I imagine a good number of die hard Zelda fanboys will be purchasing a 3DS in June.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on June 14, 2011, 05:33:58 PM: I imagine a lot of potential 3DS buyers are like me in that they are holding out for the inevitable price cut and/or revision. I already have a DSi so my handheld needs are met, so I can wait a long time if need be.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on June 14, 2011, 11:03:07 PM: I imagine the main reason that the 3DS isn't selling well is because people keep buying a DSi by mistake.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on June 15, 2011, 12:30:09 AM: I wonder how much of an impact the PSN outage had on PS3 sales in May. The PS3 was in third place, but its been in third place before so its hard to say if that had anything to do with the outage.

Ouch.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 15, 2011, 03:48:51 PM: I figure it's too late for new core IP's on Wii in Japan (and most of the rest of the world)

Nintendo should just take those games, HDify them and launch them with Wuu.
use them to fill the late ports and inevitable gaps in 3rd party software instead.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on June 16, 2011, 01:15:48 AM: If Nintendo is going to fill release slots with ports, those are the kinds they should do.

Post by: ymeegod on June 18, 2011, 02:04:40 AM: Casual gamers really should start reading reviews--Duke Nukem selling well is a bad sign for the industry.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on June 18, 2011, 02:14:24 AM: I'm glad Duke Nukem Forever is selling well, because after 12 years in production if the game had been a commercial failure that might result in the death of the franchise. Being a critical failure isn't good, but money talks louder than critics do and even if the game may suck from a critical standpoint at least by being commercially successful it helps ensure the franchise lives on to see better days. That's my 2 cents.

Sorry, but Duke Nukem isn't a franchise I want to see considered commercially viable anymore. Gaming has moved on from that character, and we're better for it. Sure, we have games like Bulletstorm that have that same general concept, but Bulletstorm is a much smarter game than it lets on, and the characters being morons is the joke and the game's constantly mocking itself. Duke Nukem is just an offensive character to me that epitomizes everything bad the non-gaming world thinks of us, especially since he's been played completely straight so far. Maybe if he was played ironically with some actual original material I could laugh at the character, but as he is he and his universe just disturb me.

We probably can't blame the casuals on Forever selling well. After so many years out of the public eye, is "Duke Nukem" really a name that resonates with people outside gaming anymore? I think we're seeing mainly die-hard Duke Nukem fans buying this game, and because Gearbox probably payed next to nothing to get the game and obviously spent next to nothing on prepping it for release, they probably didn't need very many sales to make a tidy profit.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on June 18, 2011, 02:36:50 AM: I'm old enough to have played and remember the original Duke Nukem games on DOS, and they were a big deal back in those days. They might not be as revolutionary today, but they were back then and I want to see the franchise live on for nostalgia sake if nothing else. None of us would want to see Mario or Sonic fade away, and neither should other video game legends like the Duke. Yes, the game is built on sophomoric humor, but it has a mature rating so I don't see what the problem is. If it offends you, don't play it.... its just a game though so it shouldn't offend you.

That said, yeah I'll probably get this game, but not until it is available at bargain prices. I don't trust critics because there have been times they slammed something I've liked; or praised something I hated. I'll see what I think about it for myself, but definitely not at $60.

We're all passionate about video games in many ways here. If a game does something one of us thinks is wrong, then we should call it out no matter how trivial it may be. This is the place where we can bitch about stuff, right?

As for the future of Duke Nukem, I do hope he gets a better game if the sales of Duke Nukem Forever hold up. Why I want it to is because I have an improbable hope that it will bring the best of the faster, rocket jump arena shooters with it. However, given how Forever copies the mechanics of post-Halo person shooters, I really should let go of that hope.

Post by: Stratos on June 18, 2011, 08:37:20 PM: I loved the old side-scrolling DOS Duke games. Not a lot of people seem to remember them because when I mention classic Duke people always assume I mean 3D. Would be awesome to return to that style.

But Japan loves repurchasing old stuff, or games that feel like old stuff. Hence their love for Dragon Quest.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on June 24, 2011, 03:34:08 AM: At least the 3DS FINALLY pulled ahead of the PSP in weekly sales. I'm sure Zelda had a lot to do with that. Even then though, it isn't a huge lead.

Most would think it would be Nintendo and Sony. Considering all of the value offered by the PS3, it is a bit mind-bending.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 28, 2011, 10:36:18 PM: I think it's a sign of trouble when the 3DS is selling better in Japan than the US (where it has sold only 833K units).

Quote
As part of NPD's US retail sales report today, Nintendo announced that, following the price cut, 3DS sales in August were up 260 percent over the comparable 19-day period in July. All said, the 3DS sold 235,000 units during the month, making it the second-best-selling gaming hardware during the month.

Of the 3DS' total hardware systems sold during the month, 185,000 came after the August 12 price cut. Those who purchased the system at the $250 price point prior to August 12 gained access to the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador program, which awards more than 20 free games from the handheld's eShop. Nintendo also said that it sold 190,000 Wiis in August as well as 165,000 units in the DS/DSi family.

Also, the NPD top ten of August 2010.

Post by: broodwars on September 08, 2011, 08:06:09 PM: Niiiice, Deus Ex HR sold better than NCAA and Black Ops. I don't expect that to stick as the months go on, but it's a nice black eye for those yearly franchises.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on September 08, 2011, 08:16:26 PM: Um, I don't think it's a big deal it outsold Black Ops since the game is 9 months old. NCAA is slightly more impressive, though most of its sales come in July anyways.

I am surprised the 3 versions combined to be #1, thought it might have been tanking a little since GameStop has it for $45 already and Toys R Us will be having it for $35.

Well, it's been a slow summer, and we've seen some older games up high on the charts that you wouldn't expect to see there. I'm just happy to see such an excellent (if imbalanced) game deservedly get #1.

Incidentally, where's Madden on this list? Didn't that retail at the tail end of August?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on September 08, 2011, 10:10:19 PM: It's still not all that high, it's only sold 1/4 million during the first week so hopefully the game has legs. It's getting alot of good reviews and word of mouth so maybe it'll break the 1 million mark.

I was kinda iffy about it because Deus EX IW was such a let down but it sounds like this is an "reboot" done right.

I never played the original Deus Ex (and I never will, and yes I fully admit it's because the game is too old and most games from that era don't age well), but I thought Invisible War was pretty decent. As for Human Revolution, I have my issues with the game in how heavily the game rewards stealth compared to everything else and repetition towards the end, but it's a very good game.

Post by: Mop it up on September 09, 2011, 08:27:40 PM: I wonder if the sales of the DSi will soon drop. Now that the 3DS is the same price as a DSi XL, and only $20 more than a DSi, is there anything that a DSi can do that the 3DS cannot? If someone absolutely wants the larger screens and size of the DSi XL, I can understand why they'd get one of those, but that's all I can think of. I've never used a DSi.

The DSi probably has better battery life than the 3DS. That's really all I can think of, and that alone is probably not a good enough reason, but its something anyway.

Consumers are responding very positively to the new suggested retail price of $169.99 for the Nintendo 3DS, With Star Fox 64 3D and the new Flame Red color launching tomorrow, and Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 arriving later this year, Nintendo 3DS will offer consumers cutting-edge entertainment and tremendous value this holiday season.

Not sure if these news bits were posted.

Well, they did announce Tales of Graces F for next year in North America, so that's something. I wouldn't be surprised if Tales of Xilla came over as well. Also, unlike the Wii the PS3 is region free, so if you can read Japanese and you really wanted to play something like Tales of Vesperia PS3, you could just import the game.

Also, unlike the Wii the PS3 is region free, so if you can read Japanese and you really wanted to play something like Tales of Vesperia PS3, you could just import the game.

I was referring more to Graces F/Xilia, yeah, but the more I think about it the less convinced I am that understanding the story/characters/dialogue in the Tales games is really necessary for me personally to enjoy them, so...

Or, you know, buy the 360 version that's in English. That system definitely has the exclusives to be worth the $200.

Hey, you don't need to tell me that. I have the 360 version of Tales of Vesperia right here, and rather enjoyed it. I played 5 or so hours of it before putting it in my backlog for some reason. I'll get back around to playing it sometime. I have way too many RPGs to knock out ahead of it, though (including fellow 360 exclusive Lost Odyssey).

Post by: NWR_insanolord on September 24, 2011, 12:08:55 AM: I was pretty sure you had a 360. I was just saying, if you're buying consoles based on the Tales franchise, the PS3, as the only one that doesn't currently have an entry in the series in North America, is an odd choice.

Not horribly surprising, most probably had it anyway since the vast majority likely bought a Wii with it packed in. Besides Wii Sports Resort would likely be the purchase if you had to choose between the two.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on September 30, 2011, 05:36:20 PM: The Nintendo Selects version of Wii Sports was released back in May, so it wasn't all that long ago. Has the Wii itself even sold a million systems since that time? New owners are the only ones who'd buy the stand-alone Wii Sports, everyone else has it.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on September 30, 2011, 07:18:45 PM: Yeah there's no reason for anyone to even buy the original Wii Sports when Resort is the much better game and even includes Golf, Tennis and Bowling, which were the three most popular sports in the original Wii Sports anyway.

The only reason to buy the original Wii Sports is if people really want to play Baseball and Boxing, but I doubt there's that many people who would buy it just to play those.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread

It had table tennis though.

Post by: nickmitch on October 01, 2011, 01:31:21 AM: Tennis being the only thing going for Wii Sports makes it not worth it over WSR, and tennis was my most played game.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on October 01, 2011, 03:24:48 AM: Baseball is easily the game I got the most mileage out of in the original Wii Sports. That's why a friend of mine bought Wii Sports separately when he finally got around to buying a Wii a couple months ago.

Post by: broodwars on October 13, 2011, 07:33:11 PM: I'm sad to see Deus Ex drop to #6, considering all the games above it. I don't think Dead Island deserved to sell that well since I found the experience rather monotonous, but I'm not surprised to see it there either. I am happy to see Resistance 3 at #7 (though, once again, it should have been higher), as that is a really good FPS (FAAAAAR better than the first two Resistance games).

And Space Marine at #10? Really? I just don't understand it being in the Top 10 games of the month after playing the demo. At least probably most of these sports games will be off the Top 10 next month.

The Imperium of Man has a fair number of zealous followers. Also, I guess it was a guilty pleasure for some people. I was surprised to see Space Marine at the top 10 because I thought the worst for it. I hope this guarantees a sequel so that Relic my make a significantly superior follow up.

With all due respect, you said pretty much the same thing about Borderlands and I love Borderlands. Your opinions are no less valid than mine, but clearly our taste in what makes a great game differs somewhat. So I respect your criticism even though I never played that game, but I'm not going to let it influence my purchasing decision one way or the other because like I said, I loved Borderlands.

You'd probably like Dead Island, actually. It has many of the same strengths and flaws Borderlands does, being very much the same design. It's a better game than Borderlands, however, and it certainly isn't a bad game like I think Borderlands is. The game just gets so tedious and monotonous with your weapons breaking every 5 seconds as you fight off constantly-respawning waves of zombies who are scaled to always be around your level. Leveling-up is thus rendered nearly pointless, getting from Point A to Point B can be a chore, and playing the game solo is frustrating since being mobbed by 2 or more enemies pretty much means certain death.

Dead Island isn't a bad game, but it is one that's so frustrating to play that I never want to play it.

Well, the problem I saw in the demo was that Relic seemed to focus on putting a lot of characters on-screen...and that's it. In the demo, it was fun for 5 minutes to wade into a sea of Orks and massacre them with melee and deliver that one (and there only seems to be one) brutal chainsword finisher to regain my health. And then I saw that the next 20 minutes was just more of that, making me ask aloud "Ok, Relic, you can put a lot of Orks on-screen to slaughter. Do you have anything else?" I can't speak for the retail game on that, but in the demo Relic certainly didn't (even after getting Jet Packs, which guarantees that Jonny's probably going to play that game for RFN at some point).

I don't know, that sort of mindless action seemed to serve Relic well with the first Dawn of War game (which is the only Warhammer 40K game I've played outside that demo). I just don't think it was translated well into an action game there.

I had the same problems with the demo which is why I'm holding off on buying the game until it goes on sale or when the co-op feature is released. Even on Normal, I found it a bit too close for comfort to go all melee. I assume the game wants you to mix up your attack styles frequently. There are about 3 or so chainsword finishers (I started counting after while) which is much too low given how frequent you need to preform them. Funny thing about the lack of a cover mechanic: Relic scrapped the idea on the notion of Space Marines are too powerful to hide behind cover. That goes against the highly tactical nature of the Space Marines as depicted in Warhammer 40,000 books and the Dawn of War games where ordering Space Marines to take cover is paramount to survival.

Speaking of Dawn of War, I don't see how the first or Dawn of War 2 can be seen as having mindless action. Sure, they have their Attack+Move moments, but what little I've played of the games suggest there are strategies and tactics to consider.

Yeah, "mindless action" was probably not the right phrase for what I was trying to say. I found the SP Campaign in the original Dawn of War rather lacking (outside of Scott McNeil doing a hilarious rendition of his Dinobot voice for one of the villains), but the strongest memory I have of that game was the ridiculously high bodycount you'd rack up, which would lead to battlefields where I would have literally probably a hundred dead bodies lying in front of my base from running into the spray of my turrets. I also remember base building being very simplified. In any case, I think Relic didn't do a really go job translating whatever appeal the RTS games had to 3rd person shooting. That demo just came off as incredibly generic.

So Star Fox 64 3DS sold around 130k which is around what the last Star Fox, Command also sold it's first month. Will be interesting to see if SF64 can have longer legs since Command dropped like a rock after its first month.

Command sucked and SF64 3DS is a Remake and super short. Low sales shouldn't be surprising. In fact, I'm annoyed enough to say the titles deserve it.

* Nintendo to report July-Sept earnings on Thursday

* Forex losses of 40 bln yen expected -Nikkei

* First half net loss also likely larger than forecast -Nikkei

* Company projects full-year operating profit of 35 bln yen (Adds details,)

TOKYO, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Nintendo Co is expected to post a recurring loss of about 100 billion yen ($1.32 billion) in the first half ending on Sept. 30, much worse than the 55 billion loss the company has forecast, the Nikkei business daily said on Wednesday.

Shares of the Japanese games maker tumbled as much as 7.5 percent after the news, to 10,800 yen.

By loss, do they mean Nintendo made a negative profit or didn't make as much money as last year/half? I wish I remembered more of my economics class.

Negative profits. If they just made less profits, it'd read more like "profits of X, down Y% YoY" or some such.

Ah, thanks. I sometimes am confused with all this financial stuff so I wanted to make sure what the news meant.

Square Enix pulling in sales for themselves. From what little I've read about FF Type-0, it's getting an okay reception. Kirby's Return to Dreamland looks like it is having a nice debut at 136k. I hope it sticks around for a while.

Post by: Killer_Man_Jaro on November 09, 2011, 10:43:23 AM: We're now well on our way to the holiday season and, as expected, the Nintendo holiday spike is starting to take effect. The 3DS sells more than double everything else combined this week, while Super Mario 3D Land mops up the software chart. I'll be fascinated to see how it does over the long-term in Japan, known for being a less receptive nation when it comes to 3D Mario, as we've seen with the Galaxy titles. 3D Land is a little different, being on a handheld and also the most 2D of the 3D Mario games, in a manner of speaking.

My lack of faith in that site's numbers is one of the many reasons I don't go there anymore, but they'd have to be waaay off for that not to be an interesting data point. Thank you.

True. Did NSMB release during the holidays too?

Post by: Mop it up on November 09, 2011, 11:38:02 PM: It actually wasn't a holiday, it was in May. But it was the first new 2D Mario game in 15 years, so of course it was huge. Super Mario 3D Land doesn't have such a distinction, and I actually wonder if the 2D-3D mix is a little confusing to people.

Agreed. Japan's Media Create sales data is more freely available than the NPD so I don't see any reason VGChatz's Japan sales data to be grossly inaccurate.

The actual numbers are 899,518 first week and 334,208 second week. So VGChartz was close with their guesses (that's all they do, they are not reliable).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on November 10, 2011, 08:00:50 PM: That would depend on which source your numbers are coming from.

Famitsu, Media Create or Densetsu(? I forget what the 3rd one was called)

they all tend to vary. But I would hope that at the very least, VGCz can get the publicly shared information correct though.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on November 10, 2011, 08:05:07 PM: Yeah, the 3rd source is Densetsu.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on November 10, 2011, 08:10:13 PM: True, the Japanese numbers can vary slightly based on which source. I would avoid using VGChartz in general though.

For the record, the numbers I posted are from Media Create.

Oh my god. I can't believe you guys are making me defend VGChartz number even in the most round about way. But they might be using Famitsu or Densetsu. That is why their number wouldn't match up with the MC number TJ posted.

Actually, knowing VGChartz, they probably took all 3, averaged it out and then added 27 to the total just to call it their own.

Heheh, sorry. VGChartz's numbers in this regard is close enough that I don't care too much if they are exact. From watching a Pach-Attack, VGChartz is said to not be too far off with its numbers. That sounds good enough for me when I play at armchair sales analyst.

He was talking about the NPD in that Pach-Attack, not VGChartz. He was saying that NPD's numbers every month aren't always exact figures because it takes time to get those numbers, so NPD estimates based on the (more accurate than VGChartz) information they have. And from his experience, NPD was usually extremely accurate in their estimations, only off by at most a few percentage points.

I don't agree with NPD hoarding the sales numbers they have when similar industries don't do that, but I do trust their sources since their business depends on being accurate. VGChartz has no financial imperative to be accurate and they don't list their sources, so I don't trust their numbers.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on November 11, 2011, 01:39:46 AM: I think NPD bases their numbers on something like 85% of all companies that sell games. That is more accurate than something like TV ratings (which are based on just a few thousand homes).

Yeah, if I remember right, the data that Pachter said the NPD had to estimate was sales data from Walmart since Walmart doesn't share that with them. Apparently, some of the few times the NPD has been way off-base are when they inaccurately estimated Walmart sales.

Title: 3DS On-track to outsell DS
Post by: SalesBot on November 11, 2011, 05:40:40 PM: Quote from: Nintendo PR
In its eighth month on the market, the Nintendo 3DS™ system crossed 1.65 million units sold in the U.S., according to the NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States. This milestone puts the platform on track to surpass the first-year total of Nintendo DS™, the best-selling game platform in U.S. history.

The Nintendo DS system sold 2.37 million units in its first 12 months (November 2004-October 2005), with approximately 50 percent of those sales occurring in the holiday time frame. With its first holiday season and the launches of the Super Mario 3D Land™ and Mario Kart™ 7 games on the horizon, Nintendo 3DS is poised to eclipse that number and establish a new benchmark for hand-held gaming launches in the United States.

“With a massive lineup of software on the way and the first-year sales record of Nintendo DS in its sights, Nintendo 3DS enters its first holiday season with a full head of steam,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing.

Other Nintendo news from the month includes:

Nintendo sold more than 675,000 combined hardware units in October. This includes more than 250,000 units of Nintendo 3DS, nearly 250,000 Wii™ systems and nearly 180,000 units of the Nintendo DS family of systems.

For the year, Nintendo has sold a combined 7 million hardware units and more than 55 million units of software have been sold for Nintendo platforms. Both of these numbers should increase with the Nov. 20 launch of The Legend of Zelda™: Skyward Sword for Wii.
Both Wii, up 8 percent year over year, and Nintendo DS, up 23 percent over the previous month, demonstrated strong momentum heading into their respective sixth and eighth holiday seasons. In total, the two platforms have sold more than 87 million combined hardware units and more than 540 million combined units of software in the United States.

I don't think the difference in industry size is significant enough to account for this. Sure, there are more gamers now, but I'd think that's at least canceled out by all the competition from mobile phones that wasn't there in 2005.

People think the 3DS lineup so far is ****, but it's way, way better than the first eight months of the DS. The DS didn't do that well out of the gate, deservedly so, and only picked up once games started to come out (sound familiar?) which wasn't really until later in its life than we currently are in the 3DS's.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on November 11, 2011, 08:29:48 PM: I remember it wasn't until the summer of 2005 that the DS started to gain momentum. That was when Nintendogs came out, which was the first killer app of the system. I don't really remember all there was before then, but I know the launch lineup was pretty disappointing. The "big hit" launch title of the DS was Super Mario 64DS which is an awesome game of course, but it was a remake and the controls were absolutely horrible.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on November 11, 2011, 09:39:42 PM: The first year library of the 3DS is a lot better than the first year of the DS. Remember, that not only includes Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart, but RE: Revelations in February. It's no shock that the 3DS is on pace to outsell the first year of the DS, because the DS didn't really take off until later. It really struggled at first, so if the 3DS hadn't done better it would be a pretty bad sign.

Of course, they would have been ripping off consumers with the $80 markup, but just maybe they would have been able to get away with it.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: nickmitch on November 12, 2011, 12:46:08 AM: Probably not since sales picked up a good bit after the price drop. They might've been more steady if the system would've launched closer to $200.

Also, let the mark up think go.

Judging by the cannibalization of the DS' sales, I think that the number of people buying a 3DS this month (let alone the past few months) would have been dramatically lower sans price cut.

Seriously though doesn't seem to be very large sales wise this week. I'm curious to see how Skyward Sword will bounce up the chart when released.

Monster Hunter will see a huge sales spike because the MH and Mario crowd have few overlap.

Post by: NWR_insanolord on November 16, 2011, 06:49:51 PM: I doubt that. I'll bet most people who buy Monster Hunter will have also bought Mario, or will at the same time. It may (will) sell the hardware, but the people buying the hardware for MH will also buy Mario, if only because at the moment it's the only major exclusive the system has.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), announced today that Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 3 has shattered theatrical box office, book and video game sales records for five-day worldwide sell-through in dollars. The game established an all-new five-day worldwide sell-through record of more than $775 million, exceeding the record of $650 million set a year ago by Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops and $550 million two years ago for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare® 2, according to Charttrack and retail customer sell-through information..

"With $775 million of sales of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 in its first five days, Call of Duty has become the first entertainment property in history to set five-day launch records for three consecutive years across all forms of entertainment," said Robert Kotick, CEO, Activision Blizzard. "Life-to-date retail sales for the Call of Duty franchise have exceeded $6 billion worldwide, which makes Call of Duty one of the most valuable entertainment properties in the world. We expect continued sales momentum, as reviews and audience enthusiasm suggest that this is the best Call of Duty game that we have ever made. Online play for Modern Warfare 3 is at record levels and we continue to see high online play for both Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which ranked as the #2 and #4 top-played Xbox LIVE games for the week of November 7, according to Major Nelson."
[...]
In addition to beating all previous first-and five-day theatrical box office, book and video game sell-through records, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 set two new records on Xbox® LIVE™.

According to Microsoft:

More than 7.0 million multiplayer hours were logged playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 by the end of launch day, November 8, a 19% increase over last year's 5.9 million multiplayer hours logged playing Call of Duty: Black Ops last year's launch day.
More than 3.3 million unique gamers played Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 in one day on November 8 up from 2.6 million unique gamers for Call of Duty: Black Ops.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 set a new record for concurrent players on Xbox LIVE with 3.3 million simultaneous users on November 8.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on November 17, 2011, 02:51:55 PM: I knew MW3 broke the record set by Black Ops last year, and that Black Ops broke the record set by MW2 the year before. I also have absolutely no doubts whatsoever that next year's COD game will likewise shatter MW3's record. The COD franchise is like a snowball rolling down a hill and it just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

But with that said, MW3 is nothing special. It doesn't really deserve to break any records. Black Ops is a superior game.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on November 17, 2011, 03:01:41 PM: So what deal with Satan did Activision make regarding Call of Duty? The first game was NOTHING. No one gave a **** about it but since Modern Warfare, it's been the hottest franchise around. And it still sells even with Activision's patented "run the franchise into the ground" overexposure. That caught up with Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero and yet still has not caught with CoD.

Or is this going to be like Madden where this large group of "sorta gamers" make it a megahit every year? We used to call them casual gamers until Wii Sports gave us another group more deserving of the title. These guys play games that in terms of gameplay would be considered core titles but they only follow a few series and ignore everything else. And the games they're gung ho about are not very interesting to hardcore gamers. Madden is far too complex to be casual in the way Wii Sports is. But Madden fans are not part of the geeky gaming culture that we see on the internet. Call of Duty seems to attract a similar audience. It's the annual sports game audience only they're playing an FPS.

CoD is videogame Nickleback. They aren't as mainstream pandering as adult comtemporary or pop but they're not far off. Nickleback is for pop fans that don't really want to be pop fans so they cling to this phoney quasi-rock. It's for someone that wants to be part of the mainstream and a subculture at the same time. Call of Duty ain't no casual game but it's designed in such a way that you don't have any "gamer stigma" on you for playing it. It allows a mainstream audience to play a non-casual videogame without having to join the gaming subculture. Feel like you're hardcore without being hardcore.

Since they are making up a huge chunk of the COD audience I think that explains why the COD franchise keeps growing year after year. The first COD game sold like trash? Well, that could be because the majority of COD players were still in diapers or in the womb at that time. More little jimmies are being born every second of every day, and these are the future COD gamers. Even as I am writing this, someone is being born right now who is going to be a future COD Modern Warfare 10 player in about 7 years.

Hey, the first game on the PC was well-regarded at its release especially for its fresh depiction of the battle for Stalingrad ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLWFJozn_sY ). As tired as World War 2 shooters were in 2003, the first Call of Duty was pretty awesome. The United Offensive expansion pack, developed by Grey Matter who was latter folded in to Treyarch, had an even better single-player campaign with missions based on the Battle of the Bulge and the Battle of Kursk.

I gave a **** about the series before its fourth entry.

I think the amount of time is a little too small to suggest this. But it did make me think of something. Nintendo has a lot of titles that really have legs and continue to sell well for years after their release. Modern Warfare could be the same thing only Activision releases sequels so frequently that instead of that one selling for years, the newcomers just buy the latest title or the one due for release shortly. So the compounded sales are spread throughout multiple games. But because these are sequels they also get sales from fans of the previous games.

So for example lets say Black Ops sells 1 million copies. Over the following year an additional 1 million people become interested in Call of Duty but they don't buy Black Ops because MW3 is almost out and they buy that instead. And everyone who bought Black Ops also wants MW3 so MW3 sells 2 million copies. And the whole thing grows. What can sink it is if the previous owners don't buy the sequel.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on November 17, 2011, 05:27:10 PM: Black Ops is still selling well, though. It must be, because it is priced $49.99 on Amazon which is only $10 less than it was when it launched a year ago. If sales had slackened the price would have been reduced to $19.99 or something, which is how it goes with most games. Plus it was only added to PSN as a downloadable title only a month ago and it is priced $59.99 there. Someone must be buying it at that price or else they would mark it down.

The Modern Warfare series of games are sorta like Madden in that the newest one is almost certainly the best one in the series, and the only one worth owning. But the Modern Warfare games don't come out every year, they come out every other year, and in between those releases are the Treyarch COD games. I think this helps explain how the series is able to avoid the stagnation of Guitar Hero, because here you have two studios working on different lines of games within the franchise. MW3 isn't significantly different from MW2, but it is significantly different from Black Ops. Someone whose first COD experience was Black Ops (and that would be a lot of people, apparently) would go on to MW3 and would notice a dramatic difference and think its a worthy change to justify the purchase, but that would not have been the case if MW2 was their first game, and then next year MW3 came out and they went straight to that without Black Ops in between. So these two studios alternating back and forth with the franchise helps keep it somewhat fresher than something like Madden or Guitar Hero.

Since this year was an Infinity Ward game, I would expect next year's COD to be one made by Treyarch. Will it be Black Ops 2? Will it be World at War 2? or will it be something completely new? As long as it isn't going to be MW4 I'll be satisfied.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on November 17, 2011, 08:57:09 PM: I think that Call of Duty is so huge because of its online play. Call of Duty wasn't as popular before Modern Warfare because that's the first game that offered the featured and robust online modes that are still being built upon in recent releases. This would also explain why its first week sales are so inflated, because everyone wants to buy the game whilst there's a large online community playing it. No one buys the game for its single player, or at least not on the first day since that mode won't be any different a year or so from now when the game can be had on the cheap since everyone's selling it for the new one.

True. I don't generally mind that it's become a more popular series starting with Modern Warfare. But the only games that really grabbed me were the early ones. The only thing that annoys me is that the stupid multi-player levelling up system is infecting all the other FPS games. I find that system to be complete and utter bull.

Nintendo sees skyward sales on Black Friday

Super Mario 3D Land and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword helped Nintendo to a successful kickoff of the holiday sales season.

The new Nintendo 3DS game, Super Mario 3D Land, which landed in stores Nov. 11, has become the fastest selling portable Mario game in company history, selling more than 500,000 units since launch, says Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime.

Meanwhile, the Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, released for the Nintendo Wii on Sunday, Nov. 20, has sold 535,000 copies since its U.S. launch, making it hte fastest-selling Zelda game ever, he says.

These strong new releases also drove sales of Nintendo 3DS and Wii systems, Fils-Aime says. Last week's 3DS sales tripled (by 325%) compared to sales the week of Nov. 6, the week before Super Mario 3D Land debuted; the week of its debut, sales rose 49% over the previous week.

The Nintendo Wii had its biggest Black Friday ever more with than 500,000 units sold just during Black Friday and the pre-Black openings at some stores, he says.

As for Super Mario 3D Land, I really, really wish I could get it now, but there's just no time. Busy, busy, busy. Regardless, it'll be worth keeping an eye on how this does in the long run, as depending on its relative success, it will likely inform the shape of all future 3D Mario games.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on November 28, 2011, 03:37:22 PM: its a shame Nintendo has nothing else to give these 500,000 new Wii owners. They have all the existing Wii games to explore, but that's it. There will never be any more big name games for the Wii now that Zelda is out. For all intents and purposes buying a Wii now is like going to a garage sale and buying a Super Nintendo or N64 or whatever.

The Wii still sells a good amount every month, not enough to be the best selling each month but still pretty well.

Didn't Walmart have the new gimped Wii for $99 on Black Friday? That may be part of the reason.

What about DQX?
Xenoblade?
TLS?
or whatever else Nintendo has up their sleeve to fill the first half of next year?

Besides, who said all these Wii buyers were new? I'd bet alot of them are repurchasing just for Zelda since they sold or gave away an old system a long while ago. Others may be purchasing their 2nd or 3rd Wii for the bedroom or the kids room. Netflix is a big reason to purchase and it cost just as much as a Roku.

and buying a Wii now is no different than buying a GC just before the Wii came out. Wii U will be 100% BC and anything you buy now, you will be able to use on the next system.

Post by: TJ Spyke on November 28, 2011, 06:20:09 PM: Exactly, there are over 1,200 games on Wii (not even counting Virtual Console and WiiWare). There are many classics on the system too, so now is a really good time to be a new Wii owner.

Post by: Stratos on November 28, 2011, 07:25:21 PM: OR there is the 'PS2 effect' where people are buying new consoles to replace older ones that broke. My Wii stopped reading discs and in stead of an $85 repair I got one of the Mario Kart bundles from my gf for Christmas.

In the end it was cheaper thanks to the Wiimote/Chuck plus MK.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: broodwars on November 28, 2011, 07:28:00 PM: IMO, if you've waited this long to get a Wii and it took Skyward Sword to convince you to do so, you're not going to be picking up the old titles in a way that makes Nintendo money. Those gamers belong to the Used Game market.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on November 28, 2011, 07:31:51 PM: Maybe.... but maybe that's what it takes for them to become fans. And then maybe they will be on board Day 1 for the next new release since they are now a fan when before they weren't.

Post by: NWR_insanolord on November 28, 2011, 07:35:53 PM: I haven't looked recently, but aren't the used prices for most of the big Wii games barely cheaper than the still full-retail new prices? Also, you can get Super Mario Galaxy, one of the best games on the system and of this generation, for $20 brand new, so I can see Nintendo making some money there from however many true new Wii owners who bought in for Skyward Sword there are.

It depends on where you look. They certainly can sell for near full retail used, but they can also be found for a lot less if you're patient. I got Super Mario Galaxy a year after it launched for $20 used, and I've found many other Nintendo-published titles at that price or less both new (sales) and used. There are only a few games I know of that sell for between $30-50 used on average, and they are titles that are out of print with low production numbers like Fire Emblem, Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, and Metroid Prime Trilogy.

With some of the 360 deals I'm wondering if MS dropped their Wholesale price.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on November 29, 2011, 05:55:34 PM: 4GB 360's w/ 2 games were only $149.99 and Kinect was selling for $99.99 w/ 3 games.
so for $250, you would get a 360 w/ Kinect and 5 games. It was a pretty damn tempting offer.

you could get 250GB 360 w/ 2 games for $199
or a 4GB 360 w/ Kinect for $199

so many tempting 360 offers last week.

But on the other hand, if you're a single-player only type of gamer there are some good games worth buying on the 360. You don't need LIVE for that.

I know. I understand that and I've considered that, but if I'm going to treat the 360 as a secondary or tertiary system which I only play a handful of games on and never take it online then I'm going to wait until I can get it for like $99 or something. The 250GB model is still $299 (not counting the deals), which would be perfectly fine if I were using it as a primary system, but since I'm not I need it to cheapen up.

Yeah, that's pretty much what my 360 is for. It's my XBLA, Tales of Vesperia, Alan Wake, etc. system.

Speaking of which, I really wish they'd make a Kinect-less version of The Gunstringer, as I'd really like to play that. I'd want Disneyland Adventures, too, but that game looks like crap from the Giant Bomb Quick Look. But there's no way I'm getting a Kinect.

Famitsu magazine publisher, Enterbrain, have an early report on one of last week’s major Japan releases: Mario Kart 7, released on December 1st. Enterbrain say that in its first week, Mario Kart 7 sold 451,932 copies in Japan.

It also gave Nintendo 3DS system sales a large boost. The 3DS sold 216,350 units during the same week. We’ll have more detailed numbers from Media-Create as per usual on Wednesday (note that they will likely differ slightly from Enterbrain’s).

Post by: Enner on December 07, 2011, 02:56:21 PM: The amount of 3DS systems and Mario Kart 7 copies sold is just silly. I should have expected them to do well.

That's a big 83 percent dip for Skyward Sword. I guess that's to be expected.

Ah, Kirby's Return to Dreamland and PokePark 2 are climbing up in the charts.

LTD the 3DS is beating:
The 360 and now the DSiXL (I'm assuming that is what LL means)

Now lets look at YTD and Last YTD We'll use whats larger and the 3DS Beats:
Oh, it beated everyone.

That looks promising. I didn't think last year was a super slump year.

Post by: Luigi Dude on December 08, 2011, 03:47:12 PM: In the case of Skyward Sword it's tracking pretty similar to what Twilight Princess did when it was released, so Skyward Sword could at least be able to hit the 500k mark. Of course I wonder if because of Motion+ controls the game be too complicated for the Japanese audience which could hurt it's word of mouth. 3D Mario games sell less than 2D Mario because jumping around in a 3D environment with a joystick is considered too much for the Japanese, so I imagine having to move Link around in 3D and while swinging the Wiimote from different angles just to fight basic enemies is going to be a nightmare for a lot of them.

I'm not sure that Japanese gamers feel that jumping around in 3D is too much, could it be that those games just don't appeal to them like the 2D ones? I mean, Nintendo's done plenty in the last couple 3D games making them "friendlier", without any noticeable response.

As for SS, I don't know what could be considered complicated about the controls. Swinging the wiimote is pretty intuitive, and doesn't require any explanation...

Post by: NWR_insanolord on December 08, 2011, 09:12:00 PM: Well yeah, but that's 20 years ago at this point. In just the last six years Nintendo has made five Mario games, two 2D and three 3D. The 2D games are good, especially the latter one, but all three of the 3D games blow them out of the water.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on December 08, 2011, 11:22:35 PM: Mario games used to be spaced out further apart. When you churn them out at this fast of a rate its inevitable that the incredibly high quality is going to come down at least a little bit. At least so far we haven't seen anything as bad as Mario in Time or Mario is Missing like 20 years ago, but if Nintendo keeps milking the franchise maybe that won't be too far off.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on December 08, 2011, 11:26:01 PM: To be fair, Nintendo had little to do with those. They did not develop them, and only published the NES versions (Mindscape published the SNES versions). It would be like blaming them for how crappy the CDi games were.

That may be some of it, but I don't think it's that much. I think it has more to do with the fact that the development studio that did the three recent 3D Marios may be the best in the industry, and it's not really fair to compare lesser studios' output to theirs. NSMBWii is a lot better than NSMB DS, and it would look even better if you weren't comparing it to EAD Tokyo.

Perhaps, but it is pretty uncommon for a Nintendo-developed title to be nowhere near the top of that November NPD list.

And I have mixed feelings about seeing Skyrim there at #2. On the one hand, it's good to see an RPG that high up, especially one with typically niche appeal. On the other hand, the PS3 version I have of that game is an unplayable mess, and I don't like seeing Bethesda rewarded for mediocre workmanship.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on December 09, 2011, 07:20:03 PM: I think Zelda (and Uncharted) might be higher on that list if they did it like they used to and separated the SKUs. Those are the only two games on the list that are platform exclusive.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread

Post by: Chozo Ghost on December 09, 2011, 08:05:31 PM: I expected Zelda to be beaten by MW3. That's a given that MW3 is going to be number 1. But is Zelda seriously ranked 9 out of 10? Seriously? Anything less than top 5 of the month is bullshit.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on December 09, 2011, 10:10:38 PM: Zelda is doing fine. Nintendo games always get better sales in December as well so Skyward Sword is guaranteed to sell over 1 million copies in that month as well. In comparison Donkey Kong Country Returns last year sold over 400k in November then sold somewhere between 1.3-1.5 million copies in December.

Since the Zelda series is more popular than Donkey Kong, Skyward Sword should be able to sell over 2 million copies by the end of the year in America.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on December 09, 2011, 10:14:57 PM: What I find most depressing is that Nintendo's single system SKU was beaten by two slots by Sony's single system SKU (Uncharted 3). Getting beat by multiple system titles combined is one thing, but when Nintendo's core A+ title gets its ass handed to it by a Sony exclusive, that's pretty alarming.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on December 10, 2011, 06:38:22 AM: Uncharted 3 was released November 1; Zelda was released November 20. I'm sure that had something to do with it.

Nothing that could be considered system sellers, but there were more than a few games worth buying if you owned the hardware.

Today marks a historic day for Nintendo Australia, with the announcement that the 3DS has sold more than 200,000 units in 37 weeks, marking a new record for Australia. Not only did the 3DS beat other hand-held consoles, but it also beat home consoles too

For Comparison:

Wii - 50 weeks
NDS - 55 Weeks
PS2 - 55 Weeks
X360 - 68 Weeks

Post by: Ymeegod on December 15, 2011, 10:11:53 PM: The 3DS sold a little more than 1/2 million mark last week in the states as well. MK7 led the way breaking 3/4 million mark and another 300K SML3D sold. Overall things are looking up for nintendo during the holidays.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on December 16, 2011, 12:00:30 PM: 200k in 37 weeks is impressive? Look at the sales for Japan for this week. In one week the 3DS sold 350k. One Week. Now, I know Australia doesn't have as much population as Japan does, but still.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on December 16, 2011, 12:37:32 PM: We're talking the population of Texas across a land mass the size of ~3/5 the US.

Not impressive by our standards, but it still set a record there.
But now you know why they get the shaft most of the time when it comes to pricing... gotta make it worth the effort.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on December 16, 2011, 09:00:30 PM: That might have something to do with how much Australian gamers get screwed in terms of pricing. Importing seems significantly more popular there, probably because it's actually cheaper a lot of the time, and that wouldn't show up on the Australian sales charts.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on December 16, 2011, 09:16:40 PM: Good point. I wonder how different sales would be there if the prices were more comparable to other territories.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on December 17, 2011, 03:14:21 AM: Alot of systems have regional lock to their online stores but I know a few aussie gamers that found ways around your IP tracker meaning they have access to US's marketplace and us prices which is nearly 1/2 of normal costs.

Most of them got sick of paying double+ for most retail games so they ended up importing systems and games to save money. You would think the retailers would take notice that software doesn't move and lower prices but prices have instead gone up which leads to even less sales--pointless.

it's true that there's import taxes on video games but it's nowhere's as high as they claim. An $60 value game got $22 of taxes and shipping chargers and that's at retail costs. Retailers get software usually for a little more than 2/3 costs so why are they charging an extra $20-30--GREED. Doesn't make much sense to me, you can make just as much money selling more games for less profit and keeping the people from looking at importing goods themselves.

Good point. I wonder how different sales would be there if the prices were more comparable to other territories.

It's funny how much of a catch 22 it is.

Publisher/retailer probably charge more because there isn't that large of an audience and they need to recoup the cost. So if there was a larger audience, they would probably charge normal prices.
But the consumers decide to import because of the local pricing, but would probably buy more locally if the prices were comparable or atleast decent.

either way, even if you doubled the sales to way overcompensate for importers, you would still have a decent (single) month in the US to equal a record 37weeks (~7-8months) in AUS
at 200k you have a really good week in Japan.
So unfortunately for you Aussies, your market is just too small and you are forced to have to accept pocket rape or import.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on December 17, 2011, 03:51:04 PM: Many consumers in Australia might be importing their 3DS units from Japan or the United States, so the sales would register for those regions and not for Australia. So maybe some of that 350k 3DS units sold in Japan last week were actually exports to Australia?

It would make all the more sense to import your 3DS if it is region locked, because a 3DS region locked to Australia isn't going to see a lot of software, unfortunately. But if you have a Japanese or NA 3DS then you can enjoy all the titles of those regions. It may cost more, but it would be worth it I think because of how much more would be available to you.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on December 17, 2011, 05:46:03 PM: I would think most Australians would import from the United States or Europe, as I don't imagine too many of them are fluent in Japanese.

It depends on the game they are playing. Some Japanese games seem to have English text in them for some reason. Also, some genres of games just don't matter. Something like an RPG where there would be a lot of communication involved yeah, sure it would be a problem, but if its something like a fighting game or shooter then what little you don't understand isn't going to matter because what matters is the action and anyone can understand that regardless of nationality.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on December 18, 2011, 05:32:03 AM: Yes, but if you have to pick one region to import the hardware for and stick with it for all types of games, and you're not Greg Leahy, you're probably going to go with one that speaks your language.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on December 18, 2011, 08:22:26 AM: A NA region system would probably be the best choice for an Australian because NA is an English speaking region. But on the other hand, Japan always seems to get the lion's share of games, or at least when it comes to RPGs and things like that. Japan is also geographically closer to Australia, so maybe that would make importing prices lower.

I think the whole region locking thing is stupid. A business is about making money, so why lock out customers based on where they live? It makes no sense. Money is money and a sale is a sale no matter where your customer is.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on December 18, 2011, 08:39:38 AM: Nintendo makes more money if you buy the Australian version than if you import the North American version. If they make things region free they wouldn't be able to gouge people as easily.

Correct, their government operates the OFLC (which rates movies, books, and video games) and have in the past banned games from being sold in Australia. Part of it was that the highest rating they had for video games was for 15+, they finally allowed the 18+ rating to be allowed for video games this year, so that might help.

I'm not sure if gouging Australians is the better way to make money. Sure, for the people who do buy your stuff gouging them gets you more money out of them, but it also results in fewer people buying your stuff. Maybe by not gouging Australians that 200k sales would have been 400k or higher or something. Maybe that would have brought Nintendo more money than this region locking gouging scheme.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Tamazoid on December 19, 2011, 04:32:51 AM: It's not just Nintendo, it's all the video game companies. Retailers are the biggest offenders. New Super Mario Brothers Wii still retails near $100 for example. Also when MW1 came out it had a rrp of $120 at most retailers.

Nintendo recently introduced their budget titles for games like Kirby's Adventure and Boom street. We are still being screwed over but atleast the status quo is beginning to shift since if those games were released a year or two ago they would be going for $100.

@Stratos, Yeah we still can't buy the new Mortal Kombat down here.

Monster Hunter Tri G doing it's work with 208k sold this week. At this rate, it will outsell Super Mario 3D Land within a month.

Hurray for Kirby Wii hanging in there in the top 10.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on December 22, 2011, 12:36:42 PM: Vita selling alot less than I expected, then again both MH and FF came out on other systems at the same time so maybe the Japanese are just strapped for cash.

In the US the 3DS is selling twice the Japanese rates (last week numbers are around 700K) and Super Mario Land is going break 2 million mark with US sales alone. Mario 3D Kart is doing ok and Zelda reappeared in the top 10 so right now Big ole Nintendo must have the holiday GRIN on their faces.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on December 23, 2011, 02:53:02 AM: Holy sh!t, Final Fantasy XIII-2 bombed big time in Japan. For the last decade all the Final Fantasy games sell well over a million copies there first week, hell, most of them sold around 2 million their first weeks. Looks like Final Fantasy XIII really hurt the Final Fantasy brand in Japan. Since this series is very front loaded, FFXIII-2 looks to be the first major Final Fantasy that won't even cross the 1 million mark.

Will be interesting to see what SquareEnix does with the series now since even the Japanese fans aren't happy with it.

Holy sh!t, Final Fantasy XIII-2 bombed big time in Japan.

Personally, I don't see half a million copies sold in 1 week as a "bomb", especially when the game was made with a significantly lower budget than its predecessor with a significantly shorter development time (and likely a lot of re-used assets from that game). Is it an under-performer by numbered Final Fantasy standards so far? Yes. Did it still likely turn a profit for Square-Enix, and is it likely to make them even more money when it hits NA next month? "Yes" and "yes", respectively.

Regardless of quality, I don't think FF XIII-2 was ever going to sell as well as its predecessors have done, largely because of how divisive the original FF XIII was. Reportedly, the game is quite good and fixes a lot of the problems its prequel had, but FF XIII likely made a lot of people skeptics. Besides, the JRPG has been waning for quite a long time now. It was kind of inevitable that lower sales would eventually hit Final Fantasy as well.

Also, it came out the same week as the Vita... which sucked a lot of money out of the room.

VGchartz has it pegged at around 1.5 million. Pretty crazy if you forget it's a Square-Enix game. I'm curious to see if next few weeks will show Final Fantasy XIII-2's debut to be a sign of things to come or displacement from by the Playstation Vita. I hope it isn't the former because it seems like Square-Enix really tried to make XIII-2 a better sequel that fans will find more pleasing.

Things of Note:
3DS crosses 4 Million Units in Japan with a record # of units in a week for 3DS

Mario 3D Kart & Super Mario 3D Land both crosses 1 million units meaning about 1 in 4 3DS owners in Japan own both games

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on December 28, 2011, 02:47:45 PM: The first two weeks of sales of the 3ds was around 570k, vita's at 400k. One major release can change that but right now the 3ds has the triple attack going (MH3, MK7, and SML3d) and the Vita really doesn't have that "Japanese" AAA title yet (Uncharted is great but the Japanese were never big fans of the series).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on December 28, 2011, 05:00:04 PM: When Iwata took away Monster Hunter, he basically cut off the Vita's legs before it even had a chance to walk. Now Sony is left with an overpriced handheld that has no killer apps to create demand. Even if Sony bites the bullet and lowers the price, they still don't have any major titles since they lost Monster Hunter, the only series that was keeping the PSP alive in Japan.

And since they didn't launch in the West this holiday, they've basically given Nintendo all the momentum going into 2012. In other words, the Vita is screwed in every territory unless Sony lowers the price and somehow gets exclusives that can rival what Nintendo has, which ain't going to happen anytime soon.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on December 28, 2011, 06:02:50 PM: The PSP had a slow start in 2005 when it launched. I'm not sure when the PSP got the Monster Hunter games, but it wasn't until years later. Maybe the Vita don't have that game this time around, but Monster Hunter came out of thin air, so there's really no reason for Sony not to hope something else might pop out of thin air and become the next big thing in Japan (or elsewhere).

Japan certainly seems like the kind of country where these fad things come and go. Just look at the "meh" response they gave to that brand new Final Fantasy game. A decade or so ago that game would have been a blockbuster. Right now Monster Hunter seems to be the big thing over there, but tomorrow, who knows? Whatever the next big thing ends up being its possible it could be a Vita exclusive. No one can predict the future.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: broodwars on December 29, 2011, 02:09:12 AM: I've been wanting to get a Vita just to play the occasional Japanese title (since if it follows the PSP's trend, all the JRPGs will be made for the handhelds) and my existing PSP library. Right now, though, I just don't see why you would buy that device, even taking into account an Uncharted title at launch. The cost of the device is fine given its technical specs, but the associated costs are just ridiculous. If the Vita continues to underperform as it has in Japan, I'll look forward to picking up the NA version a year from now for $100 off.

As for Monster Hunter, that may be a big deal in Japan but very few people will give a damn about it outside Japan. Hell, give trend-obsessed Japan a few years, and even they may not care about Monster Hunter anymore (or it will transform into a mobile phone series instead). We'll see how the Vita does when it releases in NA.

When you combine the $250 price point with the fact it is launching post holiday season in a pretty dead time of year, I think you have a recipe for a lackluster performance.

Sony probably should have given NA top priority and delayed the launch in Japan so they could have gotten in on the holiday season in a region where the holidays are actually observed. Oh well, that's their problem isn't it? I can't say I feel sorry for them at all in light of their behavior these last few years.

Post by: NWR_insanolord on December 29, 2011, 04:56:29 AM: The Vita will be in the same position the 3DS was in, except Sony doesn't realistically have the ability to cut the price of the hardware significantly and I don't think it has as strong a lineup slated for the back half of 2012 as the 3DS had this year.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on December 29, 2011, 03:24:06 PM: It doesn't help that consumers know and expect the price to drop on it eventually. Maybe there are a lot of consumers thinking and hoping it will see a price slashing on the same level as that of the 3DS? That 3DS price drop so soon after launch was unprecedented, but it is recent and still in the minds of a lot of people. And if the Vita has poor sales it just might happen again. Sony would then be selling it at a loss, but Sony has often sold their hardware at a loss so there would be nothing new there.

Post by: Enner on December 29, 2011, 08:24:33 PM: People are expecting the Vita's price to be cut so soon? I thought it was a shock at E3 2011 that Sony is offering the Vita at US$250 given the system's specifications and capabilities.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on December 30, 2011, 12:20:02 AM: And to top it all off we all know the Vita is going to be cracked and hacked sooner or later, if it hasn't already. Sony can put in all the anti-piracy measures they want, but the harder they fight it the more determined the hackers become. The more challenging it is the more they want to do it for the prestige value of pulling it off. They may do that for noble intentions like just installing Linux or whatever, but then the vultures (pirates) will swoop in and pick the meat off the Vita's rotting corpse. That's exactly what happened with the PSP.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on December 30, 2011, 03:01:17 AM: The Vita IS an absolutely impressive piece of tech for the price. But there's a lot of competition for people's gaming/gadget dollars nowadays, and the Vita will have to prove not only the value of the components in the box, but also the desirability of the experiences it can provide.

Seeing this going on for Sony, I'm really impressed with the strategic value of Nintendo's conservative tech strategy (which gave them room to maneuver on price) and the value of their first party software in being able to save the first holiday season for the 3DS.

Post by: SalesBot on January 03, 2012, 12:56:50 PM: 3DS Crosses 4 Million in the U.S. - 1.5 Million+ sold in Dec 2011
2 3DS titles sell 1 million units & Zelda: SS is 45th Wii Million Seller
Quote from: Nintendo PR
Nintendo 3DS Crosses 4 Million Mark
Driven by Fast-Selling Software Nintendo 3DS Sells More in Its First Nine Months Than Wii Did

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Whether they were on the go or at home, whether they played in 2D on the TV or in glasses-free 3D in their hands, gamers of all ages celebrated the holidays with Mario™ and Zelda™. Super Mario 3D Land™ and Mario Kart™ 7 for the Nintendo 3DS™ system not only became the fastest-selling titles in the history of their respective franchises when they launched, but they are now also the first Nintendo 3DS titles to sell 1 million units each in the United States. On the console side, The Legend of Zelda™: Skyward Sword, which also broke launch records, became the 45th Wii™ title to sell more than 1 million units in the United States.

“One of the strongest software lineups in our history helped Nintendo have a great holiday season and to close 2011 with a full head of steam”
.“One of the strongest software lineups in our history helped Nintendo have a great holiday season and to close 2011 with a full head of steam,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Not only have the new Mario and Zelda titles already broken records, but with strong reviews and satisfied customers sharing their positive experiences, all three are also shaping up to be the latest long-tail titles from Nintendo. Couple that with a massive first- and third party lineup in the first part of the year and the prospects for 2012 are extremely promising.”

Nintendo sold more than 12 million total hardware units in the United States in 2011, marking the fifth year in a row that the company has accomplished that feat. This includes more than 4.5 million units of Wii, more than 4 million Nintendo 3DS systems, and more than 3.4 million units of the Nintendo DS™ family of systems. This brings the installed base for Wii and Nintendo DS to 39 million and more than 51 million, respectively.

With a strong lineup of software on the horizon, including new installments in the Mario Party™, Pokémon™ and Kid Icarus™ franchises, as well as third-party games such as Resident Evil® Revelations from Capcom and METAL GEAR SOLID® 3D Snake Eater from Konami for Nintendo 3DS, that momentum should continue into the first quarter of 2012 and beyond.

In addition to the milestones reached by new software, two evergreen Nintendo titles celebrated milestones as 2011 drew to a close. Mario Kart Wii™ passed 11 million units sold and New Super Mario Bros.™ for the Nintendo DS family crossed 10 million total units sold.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on January 03, 2012, 04:45:26 PM: It pretty much has to be because Nintendo didn't have the ability to supply enough Wiis early on. If they'd had the ability to meet demand for the Wii from the start I doubt anything would ever touch that record. Not trying to take away from the 3DS; it's really picked up and had a great finish to the year, but comparing straight numbers for the two system is ignoring a major variable.

Post by: Killer_Man_Jaro on January 03, 2012, 06:03:37 PM: Did we ever determine whether or not Nintendo is making a loss on each 3DS sold? I was wondering what the holiday boom would do for their financials come March this year.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 03, 2012, 06:31:10 PM: I'm pretty sure Nintendo is NOT taking a loss on the hardware and never has.

I think the working was something like they are losing profits on every 3DS sold due to the price drop. Where they were once making an $80 profit they are now not making an $80 profit, therefore loss of profits. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure most people just read the comment wrong.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on January 03, 2012, 07:56:20 PM: Now Nintendo's challenge is to see how well the 3DS sales hold up when compared to launched aligned DS-family sales numbers post DSLite launch.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on January 03, 2012, 10:06:21 PM: Actually nintendo's selling it at a loss with the recent price drop:
------------------------------------------
"Nintendo will now make a loss on every 3DS unit it sells following today's price cut announcement, according to Bloomberg Japan.

The report, translated by Andriasang, doesn't offer any hard figures to illustrate just how big a hit the platform holder will take per console.

A Eurogamer investigation earlier this year pegged the cost of 3DS raw materials at around $101. Considering the new US price is expected to be $169.99, that means marketing, labour, packaging and distribution costs exceed $70 per system."

------------------------------------------

Doesn't state how much of an loss but I imagine it isn't even $10/console. Sony Vita's is going be another story since that's going be selling at an loss right out of the gate (also why i don't expect an major price reduction because Sony really can't afford a pricewar).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 03, 2012, 10:42:01 PM: I thought there was another comment by Iwata regarding the pricecut?

or maybe I'm just imagining it, but that's why I made it clear that I wasn't sure and might be mis-remembering.

pre-post edit: I think I was remembering some paraphrasing of this quote from the Inv. Meeiting
Quote
As for our Nintendo 3DS, the hardware markdown has resulted in a huge loss in this fiscal year. However, as we are going ahead with gradual cost-cutting efforts, from a profit standpoint, improvements are expected to be made in the next fiscal year.

which I remembered as a loss of overall profits...

The thing is, I don't think the power here is the problem. Sony's failing in Japan because the device's mandatory accessories (the memory cards) are exorbitantly expensive and the lineup of games is not must-have for the Japanese audience. Unfortunately, even with Uncharted (which has never been a mega seller no matter how much Sony pushes it) I don't think there are NA must-haves in the North American launch lineup either. From my perspective, I don't see a game that really piques my interest until probably the Vita Resistance game, and that's based on my love for Resistance 3 rather than the actual game.

You would really think, though, that after the PSP failed to find an audience before Monster Hunter released, Sony might have ensured they had software that would move units. And after the spectacular failure of UMD, you'd think they'd have made their proprietary memory cards more affordable since you HAVE to have them if you want to play the best games (and download games, including PSP games) on the Vita.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 03, 2012, 11:35:25 PM: That's exactly why they were so expensive. You HAVE to buy them.

if it was optional and you could do without it or had a better alternative, then I'm sure they would have been much cheaper, but since you need it.... it's kinda like popcorn & drinks at the movies. Of course you're gonna buy it... it's not like you can leave once you come in.
So once you've bought your PSV and your games "gotcha bitch" is the game Sony decided to play.

But truth is sometimes I think that Sony just doesn't get it. They have made some good efforts in making compelling games, but they are only making those efforts to push more tech. If they could sell the hardware without investing a dime into actual gaming software, then I think they would be much happier, but since you need to have your in-house software differentiate your hardware from the comptetition in order to sell the hardware in the first place.....

Nintendo is the complete opposite. They create the hardware to support the games that they want to make. and thank the ancient astronauts that a company like Sony got in the mix to push the hardware side of things, because who knows where we would be right now without them (& MS).
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on January 04, 2012, 02:10:13 AM: I can't see the Vita having a lot of exclusive games on it. Software sales will be mediocre at best, and given that the Vita probably has a high development cost what 3rd party developers will want to do is port the games over to other systems (namely the consoles, but possibly the 3DS and mobile platforms as well). Even Sony themselves will probably do this, because if you look at the PSP they already have. A lot of PSP exclusives like the God of War games were later ported to the PS3, so what reason is there to think the Vita will be any different?

So at best with the Vita you have a PS3/PS4 which is portable and therefore you can take it anywhere, but it will have little or nothing that is exclusive to it that can't also be played on the PS3/PS4 on a much larger screen. The system I think this is most analogous to is the Sega Nomad, which was a portable Genesis. The Nomad played all the Genesis games, but offered nothing of its own that was exclusive. So the only reason to own the Nomad was for the portability, and that's exactly what I'm seeing with the Vita also.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 04, 2012, 06:10:29 AM: That's the thing, Sony already tried the portable console thing and it didn't work out so well.
Yeah, they sold 65million PSPs, but that's mostly as a portable pirate media player. Software sales for 95% of the titles were pretty poor.

But the real applause should go to Nintendo for cutting Sony off at the knees in Japan by not only cutting the price, but launching SM3DL, MK7 & MH3G all as a lead up to the PSV launch. Just securing PSPs biggest title as a 3DS (timed?) exclusive (MH3G & MH4)was a very aggressive thing to do. Let's hope Nintendo has a follow-up performance for the Euro and U.S. launches too.

Post by: Ymeegod on January 04, 2012, 08:46:15 AM: The tie-ratio for any handheld isn't all that great, DS was 5/system and PSP was 3.75/system (which didn't include digital downloads). The had two different charts for software, on avg the DS was 160k/game where as the PSP was 130K/game however if you look at 3rd party sales the PSP actually scored higher than the DS's.

As for the developement costs of the Vita is actually lowered becaues they share the same files as the PS3 version, making porting the games rather easy vs 3DS where you have to redo just about the entire game. Sure you might not get exclusives that way but at least it shouldn't suffer the same "drought" as the PSP did (droughts and poor controls is what killed the PSP in the West).

As for Vita software sales, you have to figure alot more people are turning to digital downloads, especially since Sony's releasing them at launch with reduce prices already in store. Not sure if they plan on doing that stateside or how much of a difference we are talking about but if it's $10+ difference I'll be buying digital as well (though you can't sell digital copies so you might be better of with a physical copy if intend to trade them).

I'm still waiting to see if they plan on combining the software packages, Sony already talked about DLC packs being shared but I'm hopefully to see some software packs as well or at least give me an discount for buying both versions (PS3/vita).--most likely an Dream but hell they CAN do that if they are smart.

I wasn't talking about porting games from the PS3 to the Vita, I was talking about games being outright developed for it. How would having the same files as the PS3 help a brand new original game to be developed?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on January 04, 2012, 09:10:52 AM: Same files means you can have the same models for your characters without having to redo everything, uncharted for example since it's already out. It's an huge shortcut that can cut developement time down to almost nothing. It's one big advantage sony has going for it.

What I found more surprising was the 160k/game:130k/game ratio for DS:PSP. Seems like with the DS install base being so large and having a better tie ratio, DS games should sell a lot more on average. (Then again, considering how much low-end shovelware exists on DS that barely moves any copies, maybe this shouldn't be a surprise.)

I agree with a lot of what you said except for the fact that Nintendo is pushing 3D tech. Worse, 3D, unlike motion controls, is really just a gimmick for now. Maybe there are games that could only be done in 3d but Nintendo sure hasn't made them yet.

In SM3DL, the 3D helped out from time to time.

But yes, the 3D is merely a gimmick at this point, but Nintendo included it for the games, not because they really wanted to sell us expensive 3D TV's w/ expensive 3D glasses or to get us to purchase their movie studios 3D movies.
But the 3D in the 3DS is much like the motion controls for the Wii in that it may not add much to many games, but it can be very nice for the ones that it does.

Kind of hard to get an exact number, but it's at least 5.6 for the DS. As of September 30, 2011, the system sold 149 million. As of March 31, 2011, DS software sales were at 839.48 million (so that is 6 months of missing software sales numbers, which would slightly raise the tie ratio). You have to remember that a lot of people own multiple DS systems, which may skew the tie-ratio down since someone owning both a DS Lite and a DSi (for example) would likely not own multiple copies of the same game; so a person with 2 DS systems and 8 games would have a ratio of 4:1 rather than 8:1.

Eh, I really don't agree with that. For a company devoted only to "pushing more tech", they've been pretty open to experimentation and development of new IPs (and titles that really don't push the tech), far more than Nintendo has in any case. Sure, they have their God of Wars or Uncharteds that scream "buy an expensive new TV", but then you have stuff like Flower (which, while not made by them, was a heavily-pushed PSN exclusive); Heavy Rain; the Team Ico games; etc. Then you have some older franchises that don't really push the power of the console like Sly Cooper; Ratchet & Clank; Resistance; etc. It seems to me if all they wanted to do was push the tech of their games, there would be a lot more games on their systems that push it and a lot fewer risky titles.

I think Sony's just in a position where they're trying to sell themselves as two complementing halves: a big games publisher and an electronics juggernaut. Meanwhile, Nintendo only has a games division, so they don't have to emphasize graphical capability so much. The constant marketing for whatever tech gimmick Sony wants to push can be annoying, but no more than I already have to put up with from Nintendo and motion control/"glasses free 3D"/etc. I like the games, so I put up with it, and the same goes for Nintendo.

I'd argue this on two points. First, piracy on a PSP doesn't require any special hardware... Depending on the situation, you can hack it with some simple software. Piracy on the DS *requires* dedicated hardware. Thus, inherently, this is "harder".

Secondly, look at the audiences - most younger kids(/their parents) aren't quite as likely to hack their console to play bootleg games. Teenagers is probably a mixed bag and it's probably more likely with adults.
Now, look at who owns DS systems and who owns PSP systems. I've only ever seen one kid in the wild playing a PSP... I see kids playing a DS all the time. While I see older folks playing DS systems a lot, I virtually *only* seen adults playing a PSP.

Obviously, I don't have any hard-core numbers, but my guess if there was some real way to look into it, we'd find piracy worse on the PSP. Even hard-core, anti-piracy folks are known for hacking their PSP to play ROMs.

Which is very true, that why DS mature games sell so poorly as well as the PSP. Nintendo has the advantage since it does have a larger younger audience but if you look at DS's core games you'll notice they have CRAPPY sale figures.

As for special hardware? R4 flash carts are just as easy to get as ordering anything else online and you don't have to mod the DS for it to work. There's plenty of sites that sell/help/even install the freaking things for you.

Piracy, killed the DC, killing the PC's, and it's getting worse IMO. Won't be to long before the consoles/handhelds get DMR and other crap that I hate.

Who could have a DS and be satisfied with only five of the games that are out there...

My guess is the tie in ratio is being hurt by all those nongamer casuals who bought it just for Brain Age or that Cooking Tutorial thing and nothing else.

I don't disagree - Flash carts for the DS are easy to come by - but it doesn't change the fact that it's still special hardware. It's not something you can hook up to a PC and do out of the box and it's not something you can go to the local mega retailer and pick up.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: noname2200 on January 06, 2012, 12:48:18 AM: I'm not sure what I feel regarding the Wii's sales figures. On the one hand, it sold a somewhat respectable amount for its fifth year, and it's LTD is nothing to sneeze at.

On the other hand, the PS3 hasn't seen any drop YoY, so the market's clearly still somewhat alive, and the Wii came out of the gate so strongly I can't help but be somewhat saddened at how badly the ball got dropped.

Oh, and obligatory "Vita is d00med" post.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on January 06, 2012, 02:06:17 AM: I don't think the Wii necessarily dropped the ball all that bad in Japan. The PS2 is at, what, 22 mil LTD there? The console market has contracted there, and in its place the DS emerged as the new PS2, not the Wii. One of the themes of this generation is Nintendo struggling to swim upstream against a shrinking Japan console market, so I still commend the Wii's performance, even if it's a shame it simply doesn't look like it can hit the 20 mil mark.

And the relatively strong sustained performance of the PS3, in Japan and other markets, is more about a possible validation of Sony's future-proofing strategy, the so-called 10-year lifespan.

The Wii, on the otherhand, is past year 5, pretty old for a Nintendo console. The lack of software support, a contributing factor, is not a surprise when recalling the N64 and GameCube consoles: third parties just aren't there to sustain the platform in its last years when Nintendo starts pulling a lot of its internal resources to create much-needed software for their new platforms.

This means we know at the very least Skyward Sword did somewhere over 600k for December. Hell for all we know it could have done around 1 million in December considering how big December sales can be.

So, to continue an earlier conversation - Tie-in ratios!

Wii: 8.5:1
3DS: 2.5:1

Looks like the previous number quoted for the DS was pretty spot-on. Really, I'm surprised it's that low (although once it was pointed out that households have multiple DS units, I can see how it's lower than I thought...)

3DS seems about right... although I have a few more than that personally, I figure there's quite a few folks out there who have one 3DS title (OoT, MK7, SM3DL) and haven't picked anything else up yet. Hell, there's probably more than a few folks who got an Ambassador unit but haven't bought a single game yet.

I'm curious how that Wii tie-in ratio compares to 360/PS3. I assume it's low?

Post by: Mop it up on January 27, 2012, 09:30:34 PM: I have a 3DS but no 3DS games yet, and it isn't because of the Ambassador games (bought it before that was announced). However, what skews with that a bit is that I didn't have a DS, so I've been buying DS games, which aren't counted in its tie-in ratio, to play on it. I can't justify $40 on a 3DS game when DS games are so much cheaper, plus right now the only game that might actually be worth $40 is Super Mario 3D Land. I wonder if I'm the only one who's like this...

Has a first-year tie-in ratio ever been much higher than 2.5:1?

I had a Lite before, but sold it for a bunch of Wii games. I prefer console experiences to handheld ones, they're just plain better in nearly every way. But then Nintendo had to go and announced a should-be console game on 3DS, Luigi's Mansion 2, and now I have no choice but to have a handheld. In the meantime, since DS games are cheaper now, I'm stocking up on its unique games that aren't available on consoles, plus it has a better selection than it did back in 2008 when I got one. I've also been getting into RPGs lately and there are a lot more of those on DS than Wii.

Or you can just buy the original SNES version off the Wii Virtual Console with the original translation & sound effects for significantly less. I don't care much for the DS version, myself, though it was a fine port when the horrible PS1 port was the only other version available.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on January 28, 2012, 07:52:01 PM: That is true, but frankly I am personally hesitant to purchase anything on the Wii's download service because its uncertain whether you will be able to migrate those purchases over to the WiiU later on. If I buy something I want to feel secure I will be able to have it forever, but with digital goods (and especially on the Wii) I'm just not sure. It may cost twice as much, but at least you have a tangible DS card that you will always have as long as you take care of it.

I have to agree completely. The Wii has its own problems because of the lack of account but I think that the people who assume the other systems will migrate their games are deluding themselves. You should doubt that any system is going to migrate your games.
One of the biggest advantages consoles have sales wise for the makers is that their backlogs essentially get cleared every few years so people need to buy new games and this would hurt all future downloaded games in that sense.

I expect a few of the most popular digital xbox games to move to the 360 while the others stay in limbo for some reason until MS basically says they have finished with it because of lack of interest. Think about 360 bc with xbox.
The gen after I expect 360 live games to be cleared entirely because of lack of interest.

I don't intend to sell off my Wii so it will still be there with all of my purchases for years to come. I also have a back up of all my games on an SD card in case of system memory failure so I can place them on a new system.

Post by: NWR_insanolord on January 29, 2012, 06:42:47 PM: I'm not sure why you wouldn't be assuming they'll let you transfer stuff over, since they've already done just that with the DSi to 3DS.

Mop it up, Amazon has Chrono Trigger for the DS for only $19.99. I don't know if that's a game you already have or might be interested in, but its an RPG and many regard it as the best RPG of all time.
I already have the SNES cartridge. Since my favourite thing about the game is the music, I don't think I'd want the DS version as the quality of it is worse.

You can only play/transfer games from an SD card on the system from which they originate, so if your system breaks, you can't use those games on another system. You can, however, call up Nintendo and have them transfer your account to a new system, so you don't even have to worry about backing up your digital games.

Resident Evil: Revelations doing nicely. Shame on Soul Calibur 5's slow start; looks like Namco Bandai might need to think hard on how to make the series special again. Armored Core V still sticking around which is nice for From Software; that 48/100 reader review average for the game isn't though.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: noname2200 on February 09, 2012, 03:01:04 PM: Looks like Vita's starting to stabilize at the mid-to-high teens. And ouch at Tales drop; not unexpected, but bad week for Namco in general. Hopefully that means future Tales games will be on the 3DS instead...>_>

And Revelations is doing okay. It might crawl to 300k, which sounds like a reasonable figure.

If your going to buy a console today, the Wii isn't hot and if you follow gaming news you hear a lot of stories about how the PS3 version has some weird bug, I get a 360.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on February 10, 2012, 12:49:57 PM: Nintendo should consider dropping the Wii's MSRP to $99.99. At that price it would be sufficiently cheap enough that it should be able to sell steadily for the remainder of its life despite the lack of new games.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on February 10, 2012, 02:24:35 PM: Yeah, I gave up on Woi matching PS2 numbers a couple months ago. The DS is the real successor to PS2, just look at Japan!

Still, it'll crest 100,000,000 and that is nothing to be ashamed of at all, especially considering all the forces of gaming establishment arrayed against it.

Meanwhile, the PS3 and XBox 360 are proving that the userbase DOES exist for a multiconsole marketplace, and that a ten-year lifecycle is not a complete PR slogan, even if they don't actually make 10 years.

What'll be interesting about the next generation of consoles is that the market and economic conditions will have so completely changed since 2006. Thrre's much more competition, price sensitivity, and consumer wariness now, things wil definitely play out differently.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on February 12, 2012, 09:25:52 PM: 10 year lifespans exist. Look at the PS2. It's in its 12th year and it's still selling and making Sony money. That means 10 years is easily doable, especially if they wait even longer to release the successor.

The Wii version is a little different, so they may be counting it separately from the other versions. The DS version isn't counted in there for the same reason.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on February 16, 2012, 07:29:34 PM: From what I understand, the Wii version is pretty much the same game. Madden is different on Wii too, but it's counted.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on February 16, 2012, 08:14:48 PM: Maybe the reason it is counted differently is because it is priced differently? The MSRP of Wii games is $10 less than their HD counterparts, so maybe for statistics and records purposes its important for them to count them differently?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: noname2200 on February 17, 2012, 06:43:47 PM: If so, it marks a shift in their process: they've been lumping every version of a game together. It helped make their data even more useless than before.

OoT barely registers. The price drop is the first sharp bump (actually slightly before due to the Ambassador Program). SM3DL is the slight bump before the big rise. MK7 gets lost in holiday sales.

Holiday sales, same as the initial DS bump (Wii would have had it too, but it was supply-constrained).

The 3DS still selling well with the PS3 far behind it. Also, another week of the PSP selling more than the Vita.

That may have been true 10 years ago, but Sony's built up a pretty impressive stable of development studios. Their first party lineup is the best reason to own a PS3. Microsoft, on the other hand, has a pretty **** first party lineup; most of their exclusives are things like Gears of War and the original Mass Effect, where Microsoft paid outside developers for their exclusivity.

I only own it because I got it for 99¢, and only then because it has the National Hockey Night music, which is the best sports theme music ever made. To this day, that's the main reason I'm upset there's no hockey on ESPN.

They hate because they love and care so much! And Sony's financials aren't in good shape, at least from hearsay.
For better or for worse, people have a closer eye and heart on Nintendo, worrying or watching their every move. If Sony were to exit or become a third-party publisher, it would be the year's headline (at least in the video game world). If Nintendo were to do it, I can't imagine a world where it wouldn't be a historic inflection point.

I don't know about the entire industry as a whole, but he does have a point. It seems like every video game magazine I've ever read that wasn't Nintendo Power seems like they only report on the Nintendo games and hardware grudgingly because that's their job but its not something they want to do. And then you have analysts like Pachter and many others who predict Nintendo will fail, and even though they get proven wrong over and over again they still keep making those predictions. Like right now Pachter recently predicted the Wii U will fail, even though all signs seem to be pointing to Nintendo being on track for success with it.

Riiiiiiight, the "industry" as a whole "hates" Nintendo. That's why so many journalists practically trip over themselves to lavish Nintendo 1st party titles with high review scores, regardless of whether those titles deserve them *cough*bothWiiZeldas*cough* (and many more). If folks in the industry don't like talking about Nintendo at times, it's because Nintendo is not interested in releasing the kind of titles that folks really into gaming are interested in. Just look at what the tremendous amount of fan and industry pressure it took for NoA to release the Operation Rainfall games when they had nothing else worth mentioning set for release in the Wii's final years. It's hard to be excited about a company that couldn't care less what you're interested in as an industry insider.

I'm not a huge fan of Pacter, but he's said on more than one occasion (there's a particular Pac Attack episode where he addresses this) that an analyst is considered successful if they can accurately predict trends around a surprisingly low percentage. IIRC the number's around 30-50%. He's not right all the time, and I don't think he pretends that he is.

I am curious, though, just what "all these signs" are that point to the Wii U being successful. Nothing about what I've seen of the console convinces me that there is yet anything special about it, anything that makes it worth my purchase when the games it's touted as having I can already play on my existing consoles. And they've announced nothing that convinces me they'll keep their existing casual audience with this console. IMO, Nintendo has yet to announce anything that makes the Wii U especially noteworthy (no, not even the tablet controller, a gimmick created around a feature I have no use for). Hopefully E3 will be better in that regard, but right now I'm not seeing a Home Run from Nintendo on the Wii U yet.

Post by: Kairon on March 01, 2012, 10:24:47 PM: The "industry" (so-called) doesn't hate Nintendo. They just had a really bad break-up, which made them momentarily forget that even though they've grown apart, they still have shared values, a shared history, and a deep core of enduring mutual respect.

^_^

But I get what you're saying Chozo. I've felt that nagging sense of minority exclusion or otherness ever since I read (and loved) that Next-Gen magazine from the 90's. I don't know why, I'd like to say it's a real thing, but it may also be some sort of prickly persecution complex I've picked up during all those years when Nintendo was NOT in vogue per se. I may just be too close to the issue, and may never really know...

Anyways, in lieu of anything better I'll assume the glass is half full and think that next to imitation, ardent, passionate, and even pointed criticism is the next highest form of praise! (Can't we all just get along? Somebody think of the Pikmin!)

I have heard some sony-doom commentary, but definitely not as much as Nintendo. Maybe that's because Nintendo is unique and doesn't fit the mold or adhere to conventional wisdom. That makes Nintendo immensely more difficult to understand, and when you don't understand something, it's easier to fear it... or at least predict it's demise/unsuitability.

I'm not surprised Pachter has a hard time predicting Nintendo's moves, they're such a unique, individualistic, earnestly independent company that I doubt general models can describe their nature. I think you sort of need to specialize in Nintendo, know where they've come from and what they've had to survive, know how they think and why they've changed their minds in the past, know who is bringing new viewpoints to their philosophy and when that philosophy is being applied or misapplied.

...That's why I think it's great to be a Nintendo fan. Other's can try to ocassionally understand the company, but we've been on the frontlines of every battle. We're the specialists on Nintendo because where other people can only bring analysis to the table, we bring life experience.

I said in my post which you quoted "I don't know about the industry as a whole", meaning I agree its not the entire industry. What I said was he had a point because I've seen a lot of anti-Nintendo bias. Of course its not that way with every editor in every magazine, but it seems to be the case with the majority. They do give many Nintendo AAA games like Zelda high scores, but they pretty much have to because those games are great and do deserve a high score, and if they didn't there would be a backlash from fans. They can't get away with attacking Nintendo's AAA titles, but they do snipe at Nintendo in other ways whenever they can.

I've seen in Game Informer where they routinely bash Wii games as having "poor graphics" and give the game overall a low score even though in other respects it might be awesome. They don't do that with the untouchable AAA games like Mario or Zelda, but they regularly do this with all the others. When judging a game's graphics shouldn't the reviewers take into account the limitations of the system that game is on? It is no secret that the Wii can't do HD graphics and everyone knows this, so why do they constantly bring down the rating of Wii games on the basis of lacking HD graphics which is impossible for the game to have?

And in a recent magazine a few months ago they congratulated the Xbox 360 for selling 60 million consoles and then they congratulated the PS3 for being not far behind, and then in the fine print they said the Wii was in 1st place with over 100 million but also slammed it as being "irrelevant". How is that not an anti-Nintendo bias? And I've seen articles discussing the upcoming war between the next xbox and the PS4 with no mention of the WiiU whatsoever as if it doesn't even exist. I don't want to get into discussing politics, but the way Nintendo is treated by the gaming media reminds me a lot of how the MSM treats Ron Paul (like he doesn't exist).

I'll never forget some analyst's prediction back in 2006 that the Wii was going to sell 18 million units total and be in a distant third this generation, and this prediction came after E3 of that year when there was so much hype and excitement. It annoys and angers me that people are getting paid, and probably paid well, to make these idiotic predictions. There's no one who could ever be 100% accurate and I accept that, but you could take any random person from this or any other site and their predictions would probably be no less accurate than that of these so called "professionals" who are getting paid for this. And there does seem to be an anti-Nintendo bias in these predictions. It used to be "Nintendo was going to fail", but when Nintendo succeeded they changed it to "Nintendo will fail in the future". They absolutely refuse to ever acknowledge or accept the reality that Nintendo is here to stay.

What I mean by "all signs" is that it looks like Nintendo has got their act more or less together and have addressed a lot of the complaints developers had with the Wii. The hardware seems to be adequately powerful enough to hold its own, and the online infrastructure seems to be coming together. Maybe in the end Nintendo will **** it up somehow, but so far based on the rumors it sounds like the developers are reasonably impressed, and that is a good sign. If Pachter and all those other assclowns did their jobs they would be looking into what people in the know are saying and factor that into their predictions, but they don't.

What it seems like to me is these analysts are basing their predictions on obsolete information. That idiot in 2006 who predicted the Wii would sell only 18 million consoles was probably basing his prediction on the Gamecube, and assumed that since the Gamecube was in 3rd place then the Wii would also end up that way. And now Packtard seems to be thinking the WiiU will have terrible third party support just becasue the Wii did. These analysts never seem to take into account that things do change and Nintendo seems to have at least tried to fix those issues which caused the Wii to have terrible 3rd party support.

The job of these analysts is supposed to be predicting the future, but really what they seem to be doing is just telling you what the present is and then extending that 5 years into the future as if not one single thing has changed. That's like a weatherman predicting its going to be raining 5 days from now just because it happens to be raining today. There is a 30-50% chance he could be right, but instead of listening to him we could use things like satellites and doppler radar and so on and get a prediction which is 90% accurate. That's the kind of analyzing that Packtard should be doing. He says a 30-50% accuracy rating is a job well done, but an analyst with a brain could maybe boost that accuracy to 70-80%.

No, it isn't. But I find it hilarious how certain diehards whine about anti-Nintendo bias when the average review for a Nintendo 1st party title has a slightly to very inflated review score (we'll see how well that goes once reviewers can no longer use the "for a Wii game" excuse). Naturally, though, when people speak of "fairness" and "bias", what they really mean is that they want Nintendo's reviews to be inflated and everyone else's be deflated by comparison. And folks on podcasts and editorials should be spending their time praising Nintendo up-and-down for finally doing things the rest of the industry was doing years ago. Yeah, that just about sums up the hypocrisy.

Do you really want to hold up Game Informer as your source of bias? This is the same magazine whose review policy specifically states that a 7/10 is "average" and is completely owned and operated by GameStop? And I'm sorry, but the vast majority of Wii games are dirt ugly by any measuring stick. It has nothing to do with technical limitations and everything to do with talent and art direction. The vast majority of Wii games don't look as good as a Xenoblade or a DKCR, and they don't deserve to judged by a lower standard just because Nintendo decided to go cheap on the hardware this generation. I find it rather ironic that so many of the more vocal Nintendo fans are happy to boast about Wii sales in comparison to the other consoles, but suddenly they want special treatment and concessions when it comes to actually judging the merits of the software/hardware.

Besides, I see the same sort of complaints from GI on games on the HD platforms, and I could probably look back through the last 6 issues of the mag and find at least a dozen games I've personally disagreed with them on.

That's not bias. It's incompetence, something Game Informer routinely excels at.

The top tier games on Nintendo systems get great reviews on most sites. Go look at MetaCritic's all time rankings and you'll see Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 in the top four (three, really, as both games above them are versions of GTA IV). More obscure titles have to compete with the more obscure titles on other platforms, and that reduces how many of them any given person can play. Even if you're doing this for a living, you've only got so much time to devote to gaming, and you have to decide what's important to you. Again, any lack of Nintendo focus should be attributed to personal taste, not an outright bias against the company.

We've been hearing this "Third Party Nintendo" line since the N64 days. Nintendo has, virtually, always turned a profit. Meanwhile, the games divisions of Sony and Microsoft have leaked cash like the Titantic - so there should be plenty of articles detailing how the two should just give up the console race and go third party (and I don't mean pre-launch/early-launch original XBox articles telling Microsoft to not get into the console wars...)

Post by: NWR_insanolord on March 02, 2012, 10:03:43 AM: I think the short answer is wishful thinking. Even with Sony's emergence as a strong first party, people care more about Nintendo's software, and a lot of people buy Nintendo systems only for Nintendo games and nothing else, so they'd rather get them on the other systems. Also, the fact that Nintendo is only a gaming company probably plays a factor, with the assumption being that if Sony or Microsoft were getting out of the game business they'd just sell off all their development teams instead of retaining them and staying in the business as a third party.

Again, any lack of Nintendo focus should be attributed to personal taste, not an outright bias against the company.

Sorry for nitpicking, but isn't "personal taste" kinda the definition of "bias"? If someone's personal taste was for the PS360 and not for the Wii then isn't that a bias? I guess it would be legitimate bias, but a bias nonetheless, and that is going to be reflected subconsciously in their reviews.

Post by: NWR_insanolord on March 02, 2012, 10:54:12 AM: Well if having personal taste is bias then every member of the gaming media is biased, and it's ludicrous to expect them not to be. It's a matter of degree, and of rationality. Reviews are 100% subjective, and don't let anyone tell you different; part of the process of reading reviews is taking into account the personal tastes of the reviewer.

I don't think any significant portion of the gaming media "hates" Nintendo. Not everyone is a huge fan of theirs, and not everyone keeps up with every little detail about them, but I sincerely doubt any of them have any kind of malicious intent with it. People have their own personal tastes, and they tend to gravitate toward them.

How come sometimes it feels like so few people's tastes include the sorts of games one can find on Nintendo systems?

i.e. games that got "Not Recommended...except for Kairon" (a real category we had on this site at one time) ratings? ;) The Wii got plenty of those this generation.

I have no regrets!

Post by: ejamer on March 02, 2012, 11:46:41 AM: I have nothing against bias. Everyone has their own opinions and that's fine.

What gets to me is how acceptable is has become in some outlets to openly mock Nintendo and any gamer who enjoys their products. In much of gaming media you see 360/PS3 treated with at least some respect while Nintendo is discussed with barely veiled derision - assuming it gets discussed at all, or without complete ignorance showing through. Then I check the related online forums and am reminded of elementary school, where a couple of people dictate what is supposedly "cool" and anyone who doesn't jump on board gets persecuted.

That type of console elitism doesn't sit well with me, and has been enough for me to fully write-off more than one source of gaming news and information. It's also why I like RFN so much: because they appear to enjoy games first, without any care for what platform the game is provided on.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on March 02, 2012, 01:19:56 PM: There is somewhat of a gamer culture on the internet and Nintendo gets a rough time (both unfairly and fairly) because they have done a great job of distancing themselves from it. Sticking with cartridges on the N64, being incredibly resistant to making games with mature themes in them, not going online on the Gamecube, not offering demos, sticking with an inhouse proganda magazine for so long when no longer made sense to, repeatedly making such a weak or incompetent effort to attract decent third party support.

Nintendo is the sort of company that can put a man on the moon but can't drive him across town. They routinely **** up the little things that any idiot could get right. As a result, they're out-of-touch with gamer culture. We who follow the game industry and know its history know our stuff and when Nintendo feeds us nonsense like friend codes we know they are full of ****. We know there is no reason to do it that way. We know how they can and should do it. When Nintendo goofs that stuff up they distance themselves from gamer culture. Since the N64 I have found one has to be very open-minded to appreciate Nintendo for all the things they're good at and not reject them over the incredibly stupid ones. You can't expect the majority of gamer culture, on the message boards and on the different gaming sites to be that open minded.

And then you have the Wii. Intentionally out-of-date hardware, wonky controls and an intentional effort to attract people from outside gamer culture. The Wii is like the exact opposite of what probably a good 90% of the internet gamer culture wanted out of a videogame system. And the casual thing is the worst. No one who is part of subculture wants the mainstream to invade. The mainstream doesn't join you, it steals away your hobby. Nintendo attracted considerable wrath for targetting casuals and non-gamers as their success at that was essentially a threat to the existing gamer culture. The Wii gave the impression not only that they didn't care about gamer culture but that they were going to steal away our hobby and give it to someone else. The worst case scenario would be if they succeeded so well that the whole industry switches to focusing on casuals and then nobody is making games for gamers anymore. When faced with that possibility you can't blame the gaming media for being somewhat hostile towards Nintendo. Notice the hostility towards stuff like Angry Birds? Same thing. Casuals love it so it's a threat.

I also think the "Nintendo is going third party" thing is wishful thinking. Most people recognize Nintendo as being a talented developer and most of their annoying traits are as a console maker. Remove the console and there is no dumb Nintendo bullshit, just them making great games on a console that some else already got right. It's also a way to re-unite Nintendo and third parties like the NES/SNES days.

I think that's about right. There's a lot of stuff that Nintendo does deserve criticism for outright, but I do also think that Nintendo's non-conformity to the values and tenets of this so-called gamer subculture also makes them an easy target for less deserved negativity.

Yeah I can see that. But I am a strong believer that Nintendo makes great games BECAUSE they make hardware that allows them to achieve that coveted Nintendo difference. That's not because they make perfect hardware, but because their gameplay innovations are as much a matter of hardware as they are software. The Nintendo difference starts with the Nintendo console.

I have no problem with anyone engaging in the same hobbies that I do. But I do have a beef if the hobby changes to attract them. My idea is that videogames are videogames and if somone doesn't like them or have arbitrarily decided they don't, then they should find something else that interests them. Videogames should not CHANGE to accomodate anyone who doesn't like them in the first place. THAT is "invading" a hobby.

Now having a sort of trojan horse to "trick" a close-minded person from giving videogames a fair shake is fine. With the Wii Series it was kind of like Nintendo had made a different type of game to attract non-gamers, like Wii Sports would not have been what it was if it just made for the existing gamer culture. Can you see why that would come across as threatening? It isn't just a new group, it's a new audience that has had a unique product designed specifically for them. So are they going to change all of our games to something they like? And it isn't like Wii Sports brought them in and they're now playing Atlus games.

I like football and hockey. I don't like soccer. I have never for a second made any serious suggestion that soccer change to attract my interest. Soccer is soccer and the people who like it, like it for what it is. Soccer fans would not care if I joined their culture. They would however dislike it if FIFA drastically altered the rules of soccer to attract my interest, a guy who doesn't like soccer in the first place. I wouldn't be joining soccer culture I would be invading it, taking it over and turning it in what *I*, who never liked soccer in the first place and don't have any emotional connection to it, want it to be. Those that care see something that matters to them changed to please someone else who never cared in the first place.

You're being pretty ridiculous if you stop liking a band because they've become popular. You're not out of line however if the band has changed their sound specifically to attract an audience that never liked their music in the first place.

Anyone is welcome to play videogames with me, but no one is welcome to TAKE videogames from me. See the difference? See how one could create the whole "us vs. them" core gamer/non-gamer rift?

Here's the problem with your analogy: Videogames are not one thing. Soccer is one sport. Someone saying they do not like videogames is not like saying they don't like soccer, it's like saying they don't like sports. Now, let's say that, instead of someone changing a sport to attract non-sports fans, someone creates a new sport that specifically targets people who don't like sports, leaving the existing sports alone.

Videogames are like sports, there's a large variety of them that appeal to different sections of the population. FPS games weren't one of the first gaming genres, and when they came out there weren't people complaining that there would be less platformers made to accommodate FPS fans. With the Wii Series of games, Nintendo didn't alter or abolish existing game genres, they created a new one to appeal to a different section of the population. They still make their Marios and their Zeldas, but now they also make Wii Fit. It isn't a replacement, it is an addition. Also, the Super Guide that's starting to appear in some games is a way to aid new players without compromising the game, so they are not changing the games themselves.

Now, when it comes to the Wii, I do think that Nintendo underestimated how much existing gamers would care about the hardware. However, from what I've seen of the Wii U, it looks like they aim to correct that mistake.

Naturally, though, when people speak of "fairness" and "bias", what they really mean is that they want Nintendo's reviews to be inflated and everyone else's be deflated by comparison. And folks on podcasts and editorials should be spending their time praising Nintendo up-and-down for finally doing things the rest of the industry was doing years ago. Yeah, that just about sums up the hypocrisy.
I don't see anyone saying that. In fact, what started this discussion was someone asking why no one is predicting doom and gloom for Sony. They're hurting financially but you don't see anyone talking about how they should drop out of the console game and go third-party.

No one's changing the game of soccer, they're just showing non-soccer fans that there's another sport called darts. No one's upending the foreign movie circuit, they're just pointing out that, well, there's a buddy comedy showing half a block away. No one's taking my many beloved genres of videogames away from me, they're just playing other types of games and genres, many of which are new and which I've grown to enjoy as well.

Videogames are bigger than any one genre, they're bigger than any one idea of perfect. They involve variety, change, growth, adaptation, and surprise. I treasure fleeting instances of momentary concrete perfection as much as the next guy(i.e. Pikmin, Pikmin, and more Pikmin), but life is a moving target, and I don't expect gaming to be any different.

Agree and disagree. Videogames keep changing and I actually liked WiiSports and some of the "casual" efforts to hit the market. Especially in the multiplayer region like with my wife for example.

But I don't see the in addition. While technically, I believe they have released the same # of core games as they did in the gamecube era, but it seems to me Nintendo is spending their time creating new ideas for the casual market and spending time for the core market creating sequels. As stated, yeah, we got 3 Mario's which I believe is a first since the NES era, but where is our Pikmin? We had some awesome 2d revivals, but those don't take as much time as a 3d game. The extra time they could of spent coding was spent on casual games.

Also, the other thing that drives me crazy is that, while Nintendo has made questionable hardware decisions in prior generations, this is the first generation that specifically made core games suffer. I.E. I still cannot for the life of me understand why New Super Mario Brothers did not have a classic control scheme. The classic controller was supposed to be the concession for core gamers. But not only do they not allow it as an option, they require motion control in the game. Everybody has played Super Mario Bros, one staple of the series has been the "tight controls". Nobody will ever say that motion controls at this point are tight. It was a gamebreaker, I enjoyed the game, but it could have been better if they just used the controls available.

Sidebar, how will the Wii-U be different? Unless Nintendo is subscribing to the in-house multiplayer is dead, the Wii-mote will again be the main controller since only one wii-u mote can connect to a system. And I've been hearing since the N64 era how much Nintendo covets third parties and is doing this and that to get them on-board, but it hasn't happened yet. Just because Wii-U has HD developers will hop on? Not if the wii-mote is still the main controller.

Noteably a little behind on the Wii-U since I'm not hyped about it. Could support 2-4 tablets but should be costly since this is likely to cost as much as a kinect controller.

I still don't understand what they are trying to do then. The Wii was popular with casuals because of the ability to mimic movements. While this table has motion controls, it's not like you could swing it like a golf club or point it at the screen like the Wiimote. So it would seem a move away from the motion controls they've established. But then why keep the Wii branding? And if the Wiimotes are going to have a significant presence on the Wii-U, won't the market see that as dated? The Wii won because it had motion control built in and a head start over the move/kinect with the casual market. Having tried the move/kinect I believe they are more accurate motion controllers. Most likely Sony and Microsoft will tweak these controllers and deliver an improved motion controlled system for each of their next respective systems and probably build it in.

The only thing the Wii-U has me excited for as a core gamer is the "possibility" of a DS player, where I could play even 3ds games on the big screen with a 3d tv.

The Wii is a system that's over 5 years old and is being replaced with a successor by the end of the year while the Vita is a new system that's not even 5 months old yet. Outselling the Wii by only 2,000 systems just shows how terrible the Vita is doing in Japan right now and why Sony really needs to do something soon.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on March 07, 2012, 09:51:25 PM: It seems like there is always talk about a system having a slow start or doing badly when it first launches. Aside from the Wii, how many systems actually do well at first? The day one success of the Wii seems to be more the exception than the rule. There may have been other systems which hit the ground running, but overall most of them only hit their full stride months or years later.

We are having this "Vita is doomed" talk now, but a year ago the same thing was said about the 3DS, and last generation the same was said of the DS and PSP in their early days as well. It seems like this always happens, so isn't it just the normal way of things?

For years everyone chalked the PSP up as a failure, but then Monster Hunter came out and changed everything (at least in Japan). From that moment forward the PSP metamorphisized from a slow moving caterpillar of a failure into the soaring butterfly we see today. All it needed was that Monster Hunter Cocoon and the fortunes of the system did a complete 180. I'm not saying the Vita will necessarily get some big hit exclusive like that, but it could, and that's why its still way too early to discount it just yet.

Even the Wii wasn't all that successful at it's beginnings. I think the PS2 even outsold it a couple of weeks during its first months. Systems usually hit their stride when the supply chain is well oiled and some really good games have been released for it. It can take a year or even two somtimes.

Why do you say that? The Wii was sold out continuously for like the first two years of its life. There was no possible way it could have done better than it did (unless Nintendo had manufactured more).

The Wii is like the opposite of the PSP. The PSP had a terrible beginning, but then in the final years of its life Monster Hunter came out and the sales exploded in Japan. The Wii on the other had explosive sales from day one, but then in its final years it slowly declined until we are at where we are now where even the Vita is outselling it.

I think the PS2 even outsold it a couple of weeks during its first months.

This is factually true, at least in America, but I don't think anyone can point to a lack of demand as the cause.

Edit: And beaten. Twice.

My guess is Sony with be very patient with the Vita as they saw what could happen with the PSP and all it needing is a Monster Hunter or two to really catapult it to the top of the charts.

Fixed that for you.

Post by: Luigi Dude on March 08, 2012, 07:07:00 PM: The major thing the PSP had going for it though was since the DS was an N64 level power machine, it couldn't do certain 3D games like Monster Hunter. This allowed for the PSP to eventually become a success in Japan because it allowed for gaming experiences that weren't possible on the DS.

The problem for Sony this gen is the 3DS is now Gamecube level power, which allows it to do all types of 3D gaming experiences. Yeah the Vita can offer better graphics, but the core gameplay can be easily replicated on the 3DS which allows Nintendo to easily steal any exclusives the Vita might have like they did with Monster Hunter.

Yeah the Vita might eventually get something that saves the system again, but the ways things are looking right now, it's going to be a hell of a lot harder.

I thought we were all talking about the Japanese market. My whole post was based on that. It was definitely not sold out besides the first week or so in Japan.

In the US, the PSP was outselling the DS until the DSL came out and NSMB was released. PSP did well at first in the US and then faultered like the Wii. The Wii just lasted longer.

Graphics have never meant much on handhelds. That's been evident ever since the Spinach monochrome Gameboy kicked the ass of the full color Gamegear way back in the day. People who care about graphics also care about the size of the screen, so they want to play their games on a big screen HD TV, and not some tiny little screen. If the VITA had the capability to output HD quality video to a fullscreen TV then it would be a big deal, but apparently it can't do that, so I don't think the videophile crowd is going to care much about it.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on March 08, 2012, 07:57:44 PM: The only situation I can see where better graphics would really matter is if the hardware was similar enough to allow for easy PS3 ports. A lot of devs might be interested in that sort of thing. The 3DS doesn't really have that option.

If a publisher can easily down-porting some console game they're working on to bring a portable version to the market, then they might favour the Vita over the 3DS. Even if the userbase isn't as large the lower cost of down-porting the same game, instead of making a unique 3DS title might make it worthwhile.

FEBRUARY 2012 US GAME SALES
OVERALL DOLLAR SALES
Total retail sales: $1.06 billion (-20%)
Non-PC hardware: $381.4 million (-18%)
Non-PC software: $464.4 million (-23%)
Total software: $485.7 million (-24%)
Accessories: $215.2 million (-16%)

TOP 10 GAMES FOR FEBRUARY 2012
Title (Platforms) - Publisher
1. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (X360, PS3, PC) - Activision
2. Final Fantasy XIII-2 (X360, PS3) - Square Enix
3. UFC Undisputed 3 (X360, PS3) - THQ
4. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (X360, PS3, PC) - Electronic Arts
5. Just Dance 3 (Wii, X360, PS3) - Ubisoft
6. NBA 2K12 (X360, PS3, PS2, PSP, Wii, PC) - Take-Two
7. Soulcalibur V (X360, PS3) - Namco Bandai
8. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (360, PS3, PC) - Bethesda Softworks
9. Twisted Metal (PS3) - Sony
10. Battlefield 3 (X360, PS3, PC) - EA

Looks like Final Fantasy 13-2 and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning fared well for their debut month. Also, Soul Calibur 5 and Twisted Metal (2012) managed to chart as well. UFC Undisputed 3 taking 3rd place is a bit of bright news for troubled THQ.

Post by: broodwars on March 08, 2012, 08:07:46 PM: It's good to see FF XIII-2 do well, as it is a good game. I wonder how well it actually did, though, because it was a Down month overall. I hope people actually gave the game a chance and it wasn't just a game that did proportionately well in a bad month.

I am disappointed to not see The Darkness 2 in the Top 10. That game is excellent. Syndicate isn't on there either, which is a little disappointing since it's also good, but I wasn't really expecting it to chart.

Is there any chance that this isn't taking into account Day 1 sales, given that FF XIII-2 launched on January 31st, after the NPD recorded its data for January but before recording its data for February? Because that's pretty weak for a AAA multiplatform RPG.

Per Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/03/09/npds-top-25-includes-at-least-eight-3ds-games/).
Seems pretty cool. Eight 3DS games in the top 25 even if none were in the top 10.

I mean anything aside from X-Box in Japan.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on March 15, 2012, 02:10:02 AM: I hope it performs poorly enough that they have to take drastic measures like Nintendo did with the 3DS. Not because of any ill will toward Sony, but because I'm interested in purchasing one, and would rather pay less than the current price.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Spak-Spang on March 15, 2012, 08:30:12 AM: The difference is Nintendo was selling the 3DS overpriced and making a huge profit, and gamers were not happy with the price, so Nintendo could afford to lower the price.

If Sony is selling this thing for a loss or near price, they can't cut it much lower, because it would actually hurt them more. I am really curious if this device will become popular because the Vita really is a cool system in concept, and proved that Sony can come up with some original ideas.

I think the system will eventually pick back up steam once it has more games...just like the 3DS.

Europe has a history of buying Sony stuff, hasn't it? Also, I'll bet some people wanted more portable FIFA. As for Dragon's Dogma, you sure there's a Vita version? That's the first I've heard of it.
As far as RPGs go, there haven't been big splashes for the Vita. It does have a Monster Hunter type game in Ragnarok Odyssey.

Post by: NWR_insanolord on March 16, 2012, 07:38:26 AM: If they wanted portable FIFA they should have saved some money and bought the 3DS one, which, as I've pointed out, is fantastic. Right up there with Mario and Resident Evil as one of the best games on the system.

There isn't a Vita version, or at least it hasn't been announced. I think he ment Monster Hunter, but both games look so similar that I can see anyone getting confused by it.

True, but isn't there a history of Nintendo not being as popular as its competitors in Europe? I've heard on hearsay that non-Nintendo systems like the Mega Drive and Playstation are/were more popular. Never did check for hard numbers though.

Ah, those two games look different in my eyes. That may come from familiarity. Monster Hunter looks more colorful and goofier. Dragon's Dogma in comparison looks a bit drab and dark.

DS is the best selling system of all time in Europe (and many other places) and I think the 3DS is the fastest selling system of all time. The Wii outsold the PS3 and 360. The PS3 has outsold the 360 there as well, at least according to Wikipedia. So take all that with a grain of salt.

I got to try out a Vita today and I was impressed with it. I had a PSP/DS last gen and haven't jumped into the new gen yet, but the Vita is a slick piece of equipment. I think it's improved over the PSP in numerous areas. The screen is supernice and the touch screen is great keeping in mind that people will be using their hands instead of a stylus. The processor seems capable of putting out PS3 style graphics in the palm of your hand. And the dual analog is a nice addition.

The 3ds I didn't get the same feeling. I bought an XL and it's painful for me to go back to a screen that small. I can still notice jaggies which were omni-present on most of the DS games. And I'm not a fan of the slide pad, I'd rather have a stick.

Having got to briefly handle one myself at a Best Buy, I can attest to the quality of the screen and the sticks. The Vita really is an impressive piece of hardware for its US$250 asking price. And this is coming from some one who got a PSP and has no interest in buying a Vita at the moment.

Not at the moment. Video games are still all about the games and the Vita is lacking in that regard. Plus, like everyone else, I'm not willing to drop $250. Not because I don't think it is worth $250, but I know in a year it'll be $200. Or at least I can wait for a holiday bundle and get a free game with the system. But I was impressed and it may be on my buy list at some point. I have a 9 month old now, and while I don't have as much time for video games, I've found a portable system allows me to game in different rooms of the house while trying to keep my child maintained.

Lol, I wish they would. I'm just impressed with the Vita hardware, have you tried it out? From a games/price perspective, the 3DS still wins. But you can see the 3DS is an extension of the DS line whereas the Vita feels like a new piece of hardware. Thus, my dissapointment in the 3DS. You have to really be excited about 3D to make the 3DS hardware feel impressive. As someone who has Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft, I don't get into the rah rah my favorite developer released a new system so it's automatically better than anything else on the market.

The combine power of Pokemon and Nobunaga's Ambition is just making off with all the money. However, Shining Blade and Madoka Portable are no slouch either. Mass Effect 3 barely makes it in the chart in it's first week of release.

Kid Icarus's new game off to a nice start for its first week. Also, the popular Yakuza series latest entry on the PSP clears 100k. Pokemon + Nobunaga's Ambition is in 3rd place. The 3DS 2011 holiday trinity of MonHun Tri G, Mario Kart 7, and Super Mario 3D land are still sticking around in the top ten.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: GoldenPhoenix on March 28, 2012, 06:11:03 PM: Glad to see Kid Icarus selling well. PS Vita is looking more and more to be repeating PSP's success (or lack thereof) in the beginning. My guess is that, also like PSP, it will pick up sales wise later in its lifespan.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Killer_Man_Jaro on April 05, 2012, 04:37:12 PM: How long did it take for Sony to announce the first price cut for the Playstation 3? I was about to say that the Vita will likely follow an almost identical trajectory to the 3DS - the price is slashed substantially within a year of launching - before thinking that Sony may well be more stubborn than Nintendo. Hard to envisage, I know, but who knows?

On the flipside, the 3DS is doing great at the moment. I'm curious to see if it will get a bump when Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 are released. It's an extension of mainline Pokémon, so of course it will dominate the software charts - the question is, will it be existing DS owners snapping that up, or might it be something for people to enjoy with their new 3DS?

Lastly, I feel sorry for poor Little King's Story. The original release is probably in my top 10 list for the Wii, so I'm sad that it seems doomed to toil in obscurity wherever it goes.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on April 05, 2012, 04:55:41 PM: I don't think a Vita price cut will be coming any time soon. The reason is because Sony is already selling it at a loss at its current price. When Nintendo was selling the 3DS at $250 they were making a huge chunk of profit, so cutting the price as drastically as they did wasn't a problem.

The Vita will drop in price eventually, but probably not until manufacturing costs drop. As we've seen with both the PS3 and PSP, Sony seems to be in these races for the long haul. They don't seem to care if they get off to a slow start. Its like the Tortoise mentality in the race with the Hare. I'm not going to say the Vita will ever surpass or even come close to catching up with the 3DS, but look what they've done with the PSP. You can be the 2nd place system and still do very well for yourself.

Sounds like a HD remake to me if the article I read is correct, though I've read that it is a sequel in other sources. Whatever it is, I hope it does well, LKS on Wii was fantastic and under appreciated.

It's already off to a worse start in Japan then the Wii version did but that has more to do with how terrible the Vita is selling. Had the Wii version had this artstyle it probably would have done much better since it's more appealing to the audience the game is aimed at.

If I ever get a Vita I'll likely buy it if it ever comes out in North America, with those sales though, who knows. From what I seen it already leap frogged the Wii version by utilizing touch controls, I still have no idea why the game didn't use the Wii's pointer functionality at all.

Marvelous Entertainment owns the Little King's Story IP, so they are the ones who made it. From what I can tell from videos, it has the same locations, monsters, and units, so it looks like a remake. There may be some new content too, but I'm not sure.

It's a shame that they compromised the artistic integrity of the game in an attempt to garner more sales, especially since the old style was more unique and the new style looks like generic animé, though it isn't surprising. They also made the king a teenager, so now it's more like Teen King's Story. From what I can tell, they removed a lot of the old story stuff and cutscenes as well, so I think it has a new story. If you ask me, they basically removed the charm of the game. Oh well, at least I'm not going to miss anything by never playing the game.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on April 08, 2012, 11:50:32 PM: I always thought it was disturbing that the King was a little kid and had multiple wives. Then there is also the genocide aspect of going out and exterminating the Onii and other creatures in order to expand the territory of the kingdom.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on April 10, 2012, 02:10:26 PM: They own the IP, but it was Cing that made the original so I was more curious about what dev team was at the helm now.

At least it shows they aren't abandoning the IP.

Recently started playing the Wii version again and would love a sequel with pointer controls.

Kid Icarus: Uprising for the 3DS missed the top 10 (which counts sales across all platforms), although the NPD Group said it was among the 10 best-selling single SKUs for the month.

Quote from: http://www.siliconera.com/2012/04/12/mass-effect-3-operation-raccoon-city-were-marchs-top-sellers-in-u-s/
The games industry was down 25% in sales this past March as compared to March 2011, the NPD Group reports. All hardware saw a decline in sales versus last March, although NPD analyst, Anita Frazier, adds that the high-definition consoles fared better than others. The Xbox 360 remained in the lead with 371,000 units sold in March, which accounts for 40% market share.

That mediocre half assed glorified MW2 map pack of a game didn't deserve the sales it did get, imho. It broke Black Ops 1st day sales record to be the fastest selling game of all time, but having played it recently I don't feel like it deserved that hallmark.

Not a terrible game though. I'm just saying its not worth selling as highly as it has.

Thank god 2K's third party exclusivity is expiring, because they have been awful at doing baseball games.

2. Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City (X360, PS3) - Capcom

So either RE6 is going to do monstrous business this fall, or ORC will do so much damage to the RE brand that it'll tank. I'm leaning toward the former, but it seems that ORC's sales rank is the same as its quality.

Post by: TJ Spyke on April 12, 2012, 09:39:56 PM: I am guessing most of those RE buyers didn't read any reviews because it doesn't seem like it's worth buying IMO (unless you can get it for $10).

I have never played the new Silent Hill (or any Silent Hill), but I was listening to an IGN podcast and they basically said it was terrible.

And they're basically wrong. Yeah, it's an incredibly flawed game that could have used polish here and there, but it's certainly not a bad one. People made up their mind that that game was going to be crap before they even played it, and they saw what they intended to see. If you want an example of this, just watch Giant Bomb's terrible Quick Look of the game.

I don't mind if you don't like a game. But I dislike the pre-judging and double-standards that Downpour has received, considering most of the things people are complaining about with Downpour were also true of pretty much every Silent Hill before it (including the beloved and "untouchable" Silent Hill 2).

Based on my own experience with the game and others on my Twitter feed, those who gave Downpour a fair shot and didn't hold the original Silent Hills up as some inflated, unreasonable standard generally liked Downpour. Those who view the original Silent Hills with ridiculous nostalgia goggles and are unable to see the flaws in the original games did not like Downpour.

I was speaking of critics in general (though a fairly above-average score is better than I expected). People just did not give that game a fair chance, mostly because everyone likes to remember Silent Hill 2 as this perfect experience it never was. I replayed it recently in the HD Collection, and man is that game ****. And that's not a recent impression created by the HD version. I always thought that was a terrible "game" with horrible combat, little to no direction, uninspired level design, and atrocious voice acting in its original incarnation (the new dub is a massive improvement). But people like the story and characters, and that has made people forget just how terrible that game plays. And I could say that of most of the Silent Hill games.

Probably similar to RE2, the game is a classic, but play it now and, well, it just doesn't hold up well at all. I honestly haven't played a SH game since SH3, but have been interested in games like Homecoming, Silent Hill for Wii, and even this game. Would be interested to try them considering I really don't have any expectations either way.

IMO, all the Silent Hill games are good in their own way (except maybe Origins, but I really didn't get far enough into that game to judge it too much). Homecoming gets a lot of criticism for being stylistically similar to the movie (which I thought was pretty good) and for having a big combat focus, but I thought the story was pretty good (if very derivative of a few other SH games) and the combat was fairly enjoyable. Shattered Memories (the Wii game) has some frustrating chase sequences and I never thought it was particularly creepy, but the psychological angle of the story and the general flow is pretty good. Continuing the theme, Downpour doesn't have a fantastic combat system, but it's still far more of a horror game than Resident Evil has been in a very long time and I enjoyed the story and the creativity of several sequences.

I prefer Downpour (Homecoming's story is centered around the SH1/3 cult, a plot element I always thought was dumb and cheapened the setting), but I'd recommend you start with Homecoming. It's pretty cheap these days, and I think the stronger combat and more focused approach (Downpour has shades of being an Open World game whereas Homecoming is pretty linear) probably make Homecoming a better game. And given that the combat-heavy Silent Hill 3 was your last excursion in the franchise, Homecoming's style would probably be easier for you to get into.

But seriously, Shattered Memories is a good game, and the best version of it is on Wii so I wouldn't pass that one up either.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on April 13, 2012, 03:18:50 PM: Silent Hill went downhill after 2 so it's not surprising the sales never picked up. After the 3rd and 4th The Room, most of the fans wrote the series off never to return.

Homecoming was the last one I played and it wasn't all that great. RE has some shitty spinoffs in the past but at the series continues to have "high" production values--so at least it's decent to watch.

Quote
Fortunately, IGN managed to get Nintendo to reveal a few sales numbers, Kid Icarus included. Kid Icarus: Uprising sold over 135,000 copies in March in the U.S. Since the game was released on the 23rd, that accounts for about a week of sales.

Meanwhile, Mario Kart 7 sold another 118,000 copies in March, while Super Mario 3D Land sold 100,000. The two games are at 1.58 million and 1.98 million sold in the U.S. respectively. Finally, the Nintendo 3DS itself sold 225,000 units in March.

Nothing really flew off the shelves this last month, it was an extremely slow month. 100+ thousand for 1.5 weeks of sales is nothing to brush away, especially on a system still early in its install base.

Post by: broodwars on April 20, 2012, 09:22:21 PM: It's really a pity how poorly the Vita is doing in Japan so far. I went into this in more detail in the Vita topic in Gaming Goodness, but I just got a Vita yesterday and it's an excellent handheld (and, unlike the 3DS, I don't get a headache within moments of booting a game up on it). The 5 games (3, really. 2 were free) I purchased for it (Uncharted: GA, Lumines Electronic Symphony, Wipeout 2048, Motorstorm RC, and Escape Plan) are all quality experiences in their own ways and I don't regret picking them up. The upcoming Resistance: Burning Skies, Gravity Rush, and my large backlog of digital PSP games will keep me busy with the Vita for quite some time.

The Vita's two big problems, unfortunately, are that the accessories and games are prohibitively expensive and the software lineup isn't enticing to Japanese tastes yet. That might change once it gets a big dating sim; cookie-cutter handheld JRPG; or the next incredibly boring Monster Hunter game (yes, I know. I have a really low opinion of the Japanese gaming market), but Sony needs to really get the Vita software rolling. I like what's there, but the Vita needs more of it and more original software to contrast the platform from the PS3.

Ah, sorry! I must have missed the sales numbers article when I was browsing my RSS feeds. That, or maybe I have too much Xenoblade Chronicles on my mind.

EDIT:
Also, I should really relearn how to use tables. It looks so much better than my copy+paste operation. Gonna have to brush up on my high school HTML skills!

Post by: Ymeegod on April 26, 2012, 08:06:18 AM: A few bits of new sale data: Xenoblade NA sales have broke 200K which is higher than the other regions. Take that NOA!

Also, Fire Emblem 3DS is selling well for it's first week out in Japan, about 1/4 million which is great for an FE title. Hopefully we'll get an NA release date soon.

And then there's Dragon's Quest X news. "It looks like Dragon Quest X: Waking of the Five Tribes Online will be hitting Japan sooner than expected. As reported by Andriasang, Square Enix announced the Wii version of the game will be released on August 2. This new title marks the first MMORPG entry in the series. A Wii U version is set to follow, though no new information is available at present.

Dragon Quest X arrives in Japan soon.
Dragon Quest X will sell for 6,980 yen (that's around $86), with a separate version that includes a USB flash drive going for 8,980 yen ($110). A flash drive of some sort is required to play the game, which comes with a 20-day free trial. Otherwise subscription costs range from 1,000 yen ($12) for 30 days to 1,950 yen ($24) for 60 days and 2,900 yen ($36) for 90 days. Both credit cards and Wii points can be used for subscription fees."

So you'll get 20 days to play the game (wonder if this applies to people that rent as well).

It would be awesome if this game outsells Metroid: Other M. I know Other M has sold less than half a million units, so its a very reachable goal.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on April 26, 2012, 12:35:25 PM: Doubt it, in Metroid case, they overprinted copies so the game was marked in the bargin bin and since then it's past the 1 million mark.

In Xenoblade case, since GS/Nintendo are the only retailers the number of unsold units is very small so there' not going a flood of them on the market so make the price drop anytime soon. I expect maybe at best another 100K mark which would place the Life time sales around 700K which isn't to bad (300K NA, 200K Europe, 200K Japan).

They mainly blame the 3DS and Wii price cuts for the losses, but software sales were slower than expected in US and EU.

3DS is selling at a loss for Nintendo (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/04/26/3ds-sold-under-cost-since-price-cut-nintendo-hoping-to-profit/)
They do hope to profit at some point in this fiscal year though as production costs come down. So I'm guessing it's not a huge loss.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on April 26, 2012, 12:52:48 PM: As great as the game is doing, we can all agree it could be doing far better if it wasn't hobbled by Gamestop being the only retailer allowed to sell it.

Is there any chance, any chance at all, of Nintendo doing a more expanded release of the game in the future and having all retailers like Walmart and Amazon involved?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on April 26, 2012, 03:28:50 PM: The only reason it was released here at all was GameStop taking on some of the risk of it, so I would argue that it being GameStop exclusive has resulted in about 200,000 more sales than it would have gotten if it weren't.

As great as the game is doing, we can all agree it could be doing far better if it wasn't hobbled by Gamestop being the only retailer allowed to sell it.

Is there any chance, any chance at all, of Nintendo doing a more expanded release of the game in the future and having all retailers like Walmart and Amazon involved?

I'm not sure if an expanded release of Xenoblade would have really resulted in a higher sales number. I've walked into several gamestops and each of them had plenty of the game in stock.

I imagine most people who wanted the game are getting it, or will get it without it being available at every Wal-Mart and Best Buy.

The only reason it was released here at all was GameStop taking on some of the risk of it,

I understand that, but now it has been proven to be a strong seller so now there is zero risk whatsoever for Nintendo to ship it out to other retailers and give it the promotional backing it deserves.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on April 26, 2012, 06:14:32 PM: It's also possible that XenoBlade's limited release has caused everyone who was interested to rush out and get it to make sure they secure a copy, something that wouldn't have happened with a wider release. Plus, some people bought extras to sell on eBay.

That depends. It could have been a limited time exclusivity deal which would expire at some point, as opposed to being permanent exclusivity. Even if it was just for a limited time, Gamestop has benefited enormously and made back whatever their investment was and then some.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on April 26, 2012, 06:41:21 PM: I hate to break it to you all but the 200k numbers are from VGChartz which means they're false. VGChartz numbers are only somewhat accurate when they steal NPD data after it's released. The thing is Xenoblade was released in April and its still April so the NPD hasn't released any numbers for the game yet.

VGChartz always makes up numbers for when the games are just released and then they make changes once the real NPD data gets released. So we're not going to know what Xenoblade really sold until April NPD results are revealed in May.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on April 26, 2012, 07:38:48 PM: Sigh, we already discussed this multiple time now but Vgchartz numbers are estimates just like NPD are. Two, the main reason VG numbers are higher is because NPD is US ONLY. Three, there's only two retailers that can sell this game, Xenoblade so the mom and pops stores don't even factor this time.

Here's the thing. NPD gets data from about 80% of retailers and extrapolates the rest. VGChartz pretty much just pulls their numbers out of their butts. They are no more reliable than you or I guessing a number. VGChartz are not even SLIGHTLY credible, and using them as the basis for any discussion on numbers pretty much kills the credibility of the person using them. I am guessing u got that 1 million mark for Metroid for them, so I doubt Other M came anywhere close to it.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on April 26, 2012, 08:11:29 PM: "NPD gets data from about 80" Actually it's roughly 60% and that's right from NPD website :0. And that's only US %. VGcharts uses basically the same data collected from the big retailers Amazon, Walmart, GS ect and make an calculation based on units sold and their goal is to come within 80% of actual sales.

And no, Metroid Other M did breach the 1 million mark. The game hit the bargin bin at $10 or less and retailers just unloaded their stocks. Metroid Other M was expected to sell well and it bombed hense huge stockpile of games sitting at retailers. Another example of huge bomb that ending up selling over an 1 million was Mirror's Edge. Didn't do crap (something like 200K for the first 10 weeks) but once it hit the bargin bin it sold.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 26, 2012, 08:36:11 PM: Where on their site did you see 60%? The 60% number I have seen was before they added Walmart (which provided a big bump).

VGChartz does not have access to any numbers that aren't available to the public. They don't get numbers from anyone. You or I have access to the same info they do, plain and simple.

Where is reliable data that Other M hit 1 million? The most reliable info we have was from 2010 when Nintendo said it was less than 500K. Since then, all you have are people making up numbers for what they think it has done.

That's pretty much why I ordered my copy. Otherwise, I would have waited for the inevitable clearance bin.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on April 26, 2012, 09:11:56 PM: "2010 when Nintendo " Sigh and since then it continued to sell mostly because of the discounted price.

And you'll have to look into NPD blog's Question and Answer--they talk about how they calculate % in each area. Vgcharts does the same. Most of the sources are the same hense similar numbers--for example last month Vgcharts pegged KI (3ds) at 134K for the month of March while NPD had it at 135K. If Vgchartz was simply making up numbers than they wouldn't be hitting even close to that mark and they posted their numbers first so it's not like they had access prior to NPD.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 26, 2012, 09:19:48 PM: Again, VG Chartz makes guesses. Sometimes they are close, other times they are vastly off (hell, GAF has a prediction thread every month and sometimes people guess the exact number right). They don't have access to any numbers from retailers.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: UncleBob on April 26, 2012, 09:24:29 PM: Not that I doubt you, TJ, but can you cite an example of a time where VGChartz was "vastly off" - and provide credible sources for your example?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 26, 2012, 09:36:20 PM: Well, here is VGChartz saying Call of Duty: Black Ops sold 7 million on launch day. http://www.vgchartz.com/article/82685/call-of-duty-black-ops-sells-7-million-copies-on-day-one/

Not here is ACTIVISION (the publisher of the game) saying they sold 5.6 million on launch day: http://www.thatvideogameblog.com/2010/11/11/activision-black-ops-sells-5-6m-in-day-one-beats-mw2/

VGC posted their numbers first, BTW.

Another example VGChartz stating Gran Turismo numbers: http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/1348/1628604-screen_shot_2010_11_10_at_8.36.32_pm_super.png

vs. what series developer Polyphony Digital says: http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/1348/1628605-screen_shot_2010_11_10_at_8.36.39_pm_super.png
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: UncleBob on April 26, 2012, 09:57:41 PM: Okay then. Whenever I post numbers from VGChartz, I always post the disclaimer that I'm using "made up numbers from VGChartz".

However, without a better, more accurate source, I see no issue with someone using VGChartz estimates - so long as everyone agrees that they are estimates and not factual numbers set in stone.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on April 27, 2012, 02:24:57 AM: From your own links that you posted:
From The publisher:
"In North America and the UK alone, the shooter has brought in $360 million and sold over 5.6 million copies, beating Modern Warfare 2‘s $310 million / 4.7 million copies record."

From Vgchartz:
"Breaking the data down, we estimate over 3.6 million units were sold in the USA, 1.4 million units in the UK, over a million units in continental Europe and 350,000 units in Canada. Xbox 360 takes the largest proportion of sales with 59%, 36% for PS3 and the remainder on PC, Wii and DS."

So Vgchartz estimated 5.35 million and the publisher estimated 5.6 million? A difference factor of less than 5%.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 27, 2012, 04:56:04 AM: We had a thread on VGChartz once.

We took their numbers they posted over 2 months and compared them to the officially released numbers of NPD and then saw how they differed.

VGChartz was off by quite a bit on quite a few of them, and then we saw how they adjusted their numbers, after the fact, to be more inline with NPD's.

It was a that point that we had agreed that while we may not have a better centralized and compiled source for numbers, that VGChartz was still far from an accurate source.

The founder of that site was constantly asked for where he was getting his numbers long before he started the site(he refused to say), and it was because the numbers he would cite were almost always off from official sources and then would be adjusted to be closer to them once official numbers had become public. It was very suspicious, especially since the site he was involved in takes their sales info very seriously.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on April 27, 2012, 05:02:46 AM: I've said it before: data that you know is questionable is, in many ways, worse than no data at all. We as a site have a policy against using VGChartz numbers for anything for the reasons BnM pointed out. While they may be right sometimes, they're wrong at least as often, so using them as the basis for an argument or point is fundamentally flawed.

Yeah, I remember that thread well, it was an interesting experiment, I don't recall how off they were on average. They are probably far more reliable in using them as a quick reference for Japanese sales due to the weekly top 20 lists.

EA and BioWare's Mass Effect 3 was the highest-selling game title in the U.S. during April, says the report, followed by Activision's Prototype 2 and Nintendo-published Xenoblade Chronicles.

A Gamasutra writer points out here (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=37540311&postcount=91) that this is the PiperJaffrey predicted top 10:
Quote
Mass Effect 3 (>500K) (Originally said ME2, that's a typo)
Prototype 2
Xenoblade Chronicles
The Witcher 2
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja
NBA 2K12
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Street Fighter X Tekken
Mario Party 9
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (~100K)[/l][/l]
The biggest thing missing from this list, for instance, is Kinect Star Wars. (Though if it is absent, that may be seen as proof of the existence of a loving deity.)

Post by: Luigi Dude on May 03, 2012, 10:41:41 PM: Well there wasn't that many big games released in April so it'll probably be a low number month. If Xenoblade just managed to get over 100k that would probably be enough to get in the top 10. Of course surpassing 100k would be great numbers for Xenoblade's first month.

If Xenoblade did manage that well then the rumors of Gamestop getting Pandora's Tower latter this year could indeed be true then.

Golden Week holiday sales cause crazy things to happen as games such as Mario Kart Wii, Wii Party, and Go Vacation climb back in to the top 20. Mario Party 9 holds steady to take the #1 spot while Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City takes 2nd place. Fire Emblem: Awakening seems to be doing nicely at #3. The 3DS 2011 Japan Winter Holiday Trinity and Kid Icarus: Uprising take spots 4-7. Kingdom Hearts 3D looks like it's hanging in there, and Pokemon Conquest sells nicely over the holiday week.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on May 10, 2012, 12:40:25 AM: The way Awakening sales are going, it's on track to being the 2nd best selling game in the series in Japan. If it's legs hold up, it could actually get close to Mystery of the Emblem. Either way, it's a huge success since it's the most popular game in the series in over a decade.

Good on The Witcher 2 making it up there.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: broodwars on May 10, 2012, 07:28:09 PM: Well, there's nothing surprising on this NPD list except how radically different it ended up compared to the "rumored" NPD list posted earlier in this thread. The most striking things I see is just how many games on this list I do not have any interest in whatsoever.

As for the Witcher, I've been very reluctant to pick up that game because my completionist gaming style would demand that I play the first Witcher first. I don't like playing games on my laptop, and I really don't have time for two massive RPGs right now anyway. Maybe I'll play it someday, but for now I'd really rather play something else.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on May 10, 2012, 09:09:18 PM: I miss the ole NPD, you know the ones with numbers :(. Not a word about Xenoblade at all.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: nickmitch on May 10, 2012, 11:23:47 PM: I read that Xenoblade wasn't reported because it's a retailer exclusive.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 10, 2012, 11:26:40 PM: I wouldn't believe that. Especially since GameStop gives their numbers to NPD.

I do think it's possible it jut didn't make the Top 10.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BeautifulShy on May 11, 2012, 09:07:32 AM: Yeah that is what I have been hearing too Nickmitch. Also to add on that what other games have been retail exclusive and they haven't shown up on the NPD. If they have shown up what could be the reasons for that? Few that comes to mind. Chibi Robo:Park Patrol for the DS at Walmart. Soul Bubbles for the DS at Toys R Us. Those are the ones that come to mind off the bat. Any others other then Xenoblade?
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 11, 2012, 10:03:44 AM: IIRC, those two games sold terribly (especially Chibi-Robo). Supposedly Xenoblade sold around 100K, and I think it's more than possible that MLB 12 sole more than that.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on May 11, 2012, 11:40:52 AM: Supposedly the top selling game in the NPD is less than 236k.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on May 11, 2012, 12:20:43 PM: Actually that's xbox units sold not software, NPD didn't post an single number for software sold, instead it stated that the highest selling software this month didn't sell more than April 2011 7th place game which was Just Dance 2 and since we don't have that number we can't compare it to nothing other than Prototype 2 sold less than JD2 (april 2011) and more than Michael Jackson (april 2011) sales.

The exact quote "Last April, the top seven titles outsold the top-selling title this year". 236K is only mentioned in terms of xboxes systems selling.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 11, 2012, 01:39:38 PM: According to http://gamerinvestments.com/video-game-stocks/index.php/2011/05/12/april-2011-npd-u-s-hardware-and-software-sales-data/, the #6 game in April 2011 sold 236K. If true, and that the #1 game this year sold less than the #7 game from last April, then indeed the #1 game this year sold less than 236K.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on May 11, 2012, 06:05:31 PM: A clarification: we got word from NPD that they don't list sales for retailer-exclusive games, so Xenoblade wouldn't be on there regardless of what it sold.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 11, 2012, 06:08:47 PM: That is stupid of them. When a album/single is retailer exclusive, Billboard still counts it in their charts. NPD should do the same.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: UncleBob on May 11, 2012, 07:36:15 PM: Billboard compiles music sales data for general consumption.
NPD complies sales data for business/retailers. Walmart doesn't need to know how much of a GameStop exclusive sold (you'll note, NEVER does NPD break down the sales data by retailer). GameStop and Nintendo know how much it sold, and that's all who need to know.

Individual chain sales data is VERY confidential information. This is why Walmart refused to work with NPD for so long.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on May 11, 2012, 08:06:11 PM: We don't need to know, but we want to know. That's why NPD should tell us.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on May 11, 2012, 10:45:11 PM: I have to wonder if NPD even knows. If this is their policy, I doubt GameStop gave them any numbers for it. UncleBob's right here, for the audiences NPD is intended for it's not necessary to report that. If Nintendo or GameStop wants people to know (which they definitely will if it sells exceptionally well), they'll tell them themselves.

But if the game does sell exceptionally well wouldn't that be an embarrassment to Reggie and NoA who didn't even want to bring the game over at all? If it would be embarrassing to him then maybe he wouldn't want anyone to know that it did very well.

If that happened they wouldn't ignore it, they'd just spin it in a way that made it look like this was their plan all along.

They know how many they shipped to GameStop. Nintendo already made their money, whether GameStop sells the copies or not.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on May 12, 2012, 12:55:10 AM: I would imagine it was part of the contract between the two companies that GameStop would tell Nintendo how many copies they sold. Hell, from what I hear Nintendo has more precise sales tracking methods than just about anyone else in the business.

Let's not forget that Nintendo also sold the game directly through their online store as well, so its not just the Gamestop sales we need to figure out but also whatever Nintendo sold directly, and also wasn't there some other site that was selling it as well?

With that being said, I'm sure Gamestop had the bulk of the sales. But not all of them.

Yes, definitely. The two games play entirely differently, and they have different fanbases. For example, I love Personas 3 and 4, but I really don't like what I've played of Persona 1 (and Persona 2 didn't play much differently IIRC).

Probably not. Persona 4 was one of the most critically acclaimed and beloved games of the last console generation. Persona 2 is a curiosity from another era that has its fans, but nowhere near what the last two Persona games accomplished.

After having recently played some early PS2 FPS games (the Red Faction games), yeah I'd say that's fairly accurate. I would, however, probably equate Personas 3 and 4 to Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops (respectively) in terms of how much more polished, streamlined, and fully-featured they are. Sure, Personas 3 and 4 will kick your ass mercilessly when you make a mistake, but at least you'll understand why (unlike, IMO, Persona 1, which just dumps a mountain of systems on you at the outset and just expects you to figure them out).

That's right.

In America, it was at about 4.5 million sold by March (beginning or end of march? sold to retailers or consumers?): link (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/29457)

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say NA sales might be slightly above 5 mil now?

That's the amount that was shipped. The number that is actually sold would be something less than that.

Anyway, even if it was 6 million sold that's the same as what it has sold in Japan, but remember North America has a much larger population than Japan, so for the sales to only be on par with Japan wouldn't be terribly impressive.

Nintendo 3DS

The Americas

Fiscal Year 2011 - 1.32 million

Fiscal Year 2012 - 4.67 million

Lifetime total - 5.99 million

The 3DS is over 6 million in North America. Doesn't matter what some of you think but these are the official numbers from Nintendo themselves and Nintendo's own reports considers these as sales. So unless Iwata was cooking the books for investors then the 3DS is over 6 million in North America, period.

The DS is 2.19 million in America its first fiscal year. It did 2.92 million it's second fiscal year. So it did 5.11 million by the end of its second fiscal year. Of course the DS was released 5 months before the end of its first fiscal year while the 3DS was released a month before the end of its first fiscal year.

So yeah, the 3DS is doing better in North America at this point in its life then the DS was.

That doesn't mean that Nintendo produce more units to sell in North America, which they likely do not.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on May 31, 2012, 09:22:38 PM: Actually handhelds have always sold more in Japan because of the difference in culture. Teens/adults rides trains up to 1 to 2 hours just to get to school or work and most households only have one TV set.

The last couple of months the 3ds has been selling roughly the same, around 200k per month in the US. Not much but considering the time of the year is about normal. Kingdom Hearts is the next big release so we might get a slight bump in sales but don't expect larger number until the holiday shopping season again.

Ah, I get it. These numbers you provide are for the "Americas", which includes additional markets beyond the US. The 4.5 million number they provided was applicable to only USA, so I can see the USA numbers being at around 5 million, and about a million in other markets up and down the western hemisphere?

Sony's exclusion of E3 news isn't going help any and now the only show that's left is TGS. Sony better have AAA RPGS to announce at the Japanese expo otherwise this system is going end up in an early grave.

[/quoteIt feels like it's treated like a different series than regular DQ. I know the series is popular, just not popular enough to reach that high of sales. I was thinking it'd make around 250-300K, not 500K+. That's all I was saying. It makes sense though I guess when you state it was a remake. It seems like DQ remakes seem to always sell well. I thought it was a new game.

I believe all the DQ Monster games have debuted at roughly-or-above 500k, except for the re-release of a DS title (which had a measly 120k or so: the precise figure eludes me). This includes remakes.

On top of that its a remake of a Gameboy Colour game.

Hate to be nitpicky, but even in Europe and Australia it was the Game Boy Color (not Colour).

For all these years I thought it was Gameboy Colour. And I had one :-[

Post by: Louieturkey on June 14, 2012, 04:06:28 PM: Looking at those LTD numbers for consoles, it looks like the 3DS will surpass the lifetime sales of the PS3 this year. That's pretty amazing and probably shows just how much more important mobile gaming is to Japan than home consoles.

TOP 10 GAMES FOR MAY 2012
Title (Platforms) - Publisher
1. Diablo III (PC) - Activision Blizzard
2. Max Payne 3 (X360, PS3) - Take-Two
3. Ghost Recon: Future Soldier (X360, PS3) - Ubisoft

9. Dragon's Dogma (X360, PS3) - Capcom
10. Just Dance 3 (Wii, X360, PS3) - Ubisoft

Ah, look at those negative percentages. Lean months. A PC exclusive is at the top followed by other sequels that took a long time coming. The new game, Dragon's Dogma, takes 9th.

It must be retail copies of Diablo 3. Though, I think NPD will start to include digital sales soon.

Post by: broodwars on June 15, 2012, 04:18:07 AM: I'm disappointed (but not surprised, given that all but 1 on that list are multiplatform games) that Starhawk didn't make the Top 10, though Sony insists that it sold well. That game deserves to sell a lot better than it has. Unfortunately, it seems that no matter what Sony does in terms of quality or variety in their 1st party software, their exclusives always seem to be relatively slow burns at best.

I am surprised to see Dragon's Dogma on that list, though I suppose the 360-exclusive early demo for Resident Evil 6 had a lot to do with that.

And is NPD no longer giving out specific numbers on hardware sales?

Well numbers for Dragons Dogma came out and it only sold 92,000 despite being number 9 on May NPD. This shows just how low sales were for games the last month.

Oh sadly, we got those numbers as well.

360: 160K
PS3: 124K
3DS: 113.5K
Wii: 71K
PSV: Somewhere between 50-57k

So yeah, this generation looks like it's finally reached its saturation point. The Wii sales shouldn't be surprising but the fact that the 360/PS3 are doing this poorly shows despite still having a steady lineup of games shows most people who wanted these systems have bought them by now.

For handhelds the 3DS sales aren't good but at least there's NSMB 2 in a few months to help that system. The Vita on the other hand is just dead.

So if you score a 40% on a test, but the other people in your class scored a 20%, would you still be happy you did twice as well as your fellow classmates? That's what the 360/PS3 selling twice as well as the Wii last month means. Yeah a 40% is better then a 20% but you still failed the test. 160/124 is better then 71 but it's still terrible numbers. Especially when the 360/PS3 still have a steady lineup of videogames coming out for these systems will the Wii is lineup of games is nothing more then a barren wasteland.

BUT, I do want to say that Nintendo's been arguing for a couple years that consumer purchasing behavior is shifting to become very Holiday centric, and we're seeing sales deferred in other, weaker, months and (partially?) made up for in heavier and heavier Holiday months. We could still see impressive hardware numbers during Holiday 2012 from current gen consoles.

That's true but in previous years sales were much higher then this for the market leader even during May. Just one year ago, these were the sales for the 3 home consoles.

May 2011 NPD

Xbox 360 - 270K
Wii - 236K
PS3 - 177K

The worst selling home console last May, still sold better then the best selling home console this May. Hell, if you combine all the systems sold last May they'd sell 683k. While if you combine all the systems this May they only sell 355k. Seriously, that a drop in home console sales by almost 50% between this May compared to last May. When something changes that much in just a year, that goes to shows we have finally reached the saturation point for the current home consoles. Even though Holiday sales can be much better, having such a drastic shift for a non Holiday month in less then a year points to a clear shift in the appeal of the current gen consoles.

The game ate up a large chunk of the current userbase. Under those circumstances, I can only see it having legs if the system itself sees a prolonged rise in sales.

So the next several months are going to be very brutal for the Vita.

Well next week sees the release of the white Vita and the MGS Collection so there may be another increase.

And I believe in August(?) some sort of rhythm game called Natsune Miku is released. I think the last PSP game in the series sold 400k in Japan. But your right, Vita is in desperate need of some game announcements. And we thought the first year of the 3DS was dry.

This is why Nintendo didn't launch Pokemon B&W2 on the 3DS: Pokemon is their clean-up hitter franchise for handhelds and is best suited to an already-established user-base where it can really feed off of the trading and interaction possibilities.

If you own a Vita, you probably own a PS3 and the PS3 has a FAAAAAARR superior version of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. I think that's the root of it, because normally Metal Gear sells hardware pretty well for Sony.

I think that sums up the problem with Sony handhelds. Sony treats their handhelds like some inferior portable version of their consoles. Nintendo, however, treats their handhelds like unique systems with different exclusive games and experiences than their consoles. Nobody wants a handheld version of a console where you need to rebuy the same games. You either have to make something unique or make it so that the same physical games work on both the handheld and console.

You mean like the Sega Nomad? That idea didn't really go anywhere, but that's probably just because Sega didn't back it enough.

After the Genesis, Sega didn't back anything enough. They put their hands in too many pies.

I do believe that there are games coming out that if you buy one version, you get the counterpart on the PS3/Vita for free.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on July 05, 2012, 07:06:34 PM: One potentially good thing about this "digital download only" future that we seem to be heading into is that if every game is a digital download then that should make cross-platform compatibility between handhelds and consoles more feasible. Obviously Disc based media is a poor choice on a portable, just as flash cards are a poor choice for consoles, but digital downloads work equally well on either.

I don't think it's really a feasible concept yet but it's really what people would want. No one wants to buy the same game for the PS3 and Vita. They want to buy ONE game and play it on both, like you buy ONE MP3 and use it on your PC and iPod or ONE DVD and it works on your home DVD player and your portable one. It's either THAT or provide a different experience with the handheld. No one wants something that's in between... like the PSP and Vita.

I thought that was already in the works? Admittedly, I could just be outright mistaken, or it could just be a few titles.

Post by: NWR_insanolord on July 10, 2012, 11:58:49 PM: Other than stuff like PlayStation Minis, and PSone games sometime soon, I don't think there are any games that you can buy once and play on both PS3 and Vita right now. There's stuff that's cross-compatible, like MLB The Show and I think Wipeout and Super Stardust, but they all require you to buy separate versions for each system.

It should be noted, though, that that's only for the paid version. There's a free Scion-sponsored version for Vita that you only get the Vita version for.

There are a few other games that you buy once and get both versions: The Pinball Arcade & its DLC, the Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 DLC, and Zen Pinball 2 (where you get for free all the tables you already purchased for Marvel Pinball and presumably Zen Pinball 2 as well). I believe the upcoming Sound Shapes is going to be a "buy one, get both" deal, too.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on July 11, 2012, 02:30:05 PM: I'm not suggesting something where some games allow it and some games don't. Back when walkmans and discmans were popular it wasn't like you bought special albums for on the go. Nope, you just bought ANY cassette or CD album and played it. Part of the appeal was that your normal music collection worked on your portable music player. I think what people really want out of something like the PS Vita is to buy PS3 games and be able to play them on the go. Not like titles that support it but EVERY title, like the Sega Nomad and Turbo Express.

Of course the handhelds that did offer that were not very successful but I think that's largely because of the technology at the time. The concept isn't really feasible unless consoles standardize for a long period of time to allow the current tech to be affordable in a handheld form with good battery life. The old console method of updating every five years doesn't allow this to work because the tech doesn't become handheld feasible until the system is already obsolete. But if the PS3 stuck around for another ten years there would be no reason not to make a handheld version of it.

Nintendo realizes that no one just wants to play a shittier version of their console. For the N64/Cube years the 2D/3D seperation let their handhelds offer a unique experience and then when their handheld could do 3D games that made a real effort to differentiate the two models - the DS with it's touchscreen and the Wii with it's motion control. The only time the Game Boy was really just kind of an inferior handheld version of a console was during the SNES days.

The only time the Game Boy was really just kind of an inferior handheld version of a console was during the SNES days.

Also sorta true in the NES days as well, because even though this might be subjective I think most people would agree the Mario Land games didn't match up to the Super Mario Bros. games. Don't get me wrong they were still great games in their own right, just maybe not as good... but again that's subjective.

If you think about it the Gameboy was basically an inferior version of the NES. While the controls were identical and both were 8-bit machines, the NES was in color and had better sound and I think capable of handling more sprites and stuff like that. The Gameboy Color not only brought color to the system but also beefed up the specs a bit by quadrupling the RAM and stuff so I think the Gameboy Color was about on par with the NES, and maybe even more powerful. I think for all intents and purposes the GBC could offer the same gaming experience as the NES.

But the SNES was still ahead until the GBA came out. The GBA is basically a handheld SNES, and the DS could probably be thought of as a portable N64, and then the 3DS is maybe a portable Gamecube. I don't know if Nintendo's next portable is going to be like a portable Wii because of the Wii being so similar in specs as the Gamecube, but for the most part it seems like each handheld corresponds roughly to the last gen console in power. The consoles pioneer the specs and are the most bleeding edge you can get, whereas the handhelds are more refined and established technology that's now in a portable form.

Post by: Louieturkey on July 12, 2012, 08:07:30 PM: Looks like 3DS has finally surpassed 5 million sales (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/07/12/3ds-has-sold-over-5-million-in-us-to-date/) in the US.

Quote
The 3DS has surpassed five million units sold in the United States, Nintendo announced today. Contributing to that new milestone: over 155,000 3DS systems were sold in the US in the month of June, according to NPD data cited by Nintendo.

In addition, Nintendo moved "more than 150,000 units of the Nintendo DS family and nearly 95,000 Wii consoles." In terms of 3DS software, Nintendo revealed new life-to-date totals for three million-sellers: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (http://joystiq.com/game/the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time-3d) (over 1 million), Super Mario 3D Land (http://joystiq.com/game/super-mario-3d-land) (2.1 million), and Mario Kart 7 (1.75 million). If there's a conclusion that can be drawn from this, it's that not enough people bought Kid Icarus Uprising (http://joystiq.com/game/kid-icarus-uprising).
Unfortunately, the Wii is falling farther and farther from grace.

Nice to see Pokemon still be able to put a spin off in the top ten. Doesn't hurt that the game is great, or so I hear.

I can't believe Battlefield 3's Premium...thing managed to help it out-sell Spider-Man. I'm surprised Modern Warfare 3 is still that high as well.

Battlefield 3 was 8th in the last NPD, it is a slow retail summer, and I guess there wasn't much buzz for The Amazing Spider Man (either movie or game) as one would hope. Also, people seem to like their games with guns. As for Battlefield 3 Premium, it's not too awful as the $50 gives you more multiplayer maps than what came with the base game. From what little research I've done, Premium compares similarly with previous expansions and booster packs for previous Battlefield games. This may be myself being an apologist as I have bought Premium. The kicker being that I paid more for Premium than my pre-order of Battlefield 3.

Pokemon and Dragon Quest Monsters still up there at the top.The Calciobit soccer game that has been featured in many Nintendo Directs is now out. Etrian Odyssey sees an 85% drop. The Playstation Vita version of Level 5's Time Travelers sells more than the 3DS version.

Also, it seems the 3DS 2011 Winter Holiday Trinity has completely dropped out of the top 20. Super Mario 3D Land was the last to hang in there last week.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Killer_Man_Jaro on July 18, 2012, 06:20:59 PM: Hold on a moment. Was Time Travellers already released for 3DS? That's a pretty soft opening for what seemed like a potentially cool Level-5 RPG.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on July 18, 2012, 08:10:59 PM: They got released simultaneously. So it looks like the 3DS has now failed.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on July 18, 2012, 10:38:30 PM: I would guess the reason the Vita version sold better than the 3DS version is because Vita users are so starved for new games that any tiny morsel they get they are going to tear apart like a bunch of lions against a lone unarmed gladiator.

It also helps that the PSP was the hardcore RPG/visual novel handheld last generation, so there's probably a lot more folks on the Vita predisposed to buying games like Time Travelers than on the 3DS right now. Even still, the Vita version only sold something like 300 copies more.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Tamazoid on July 19, 2012, 10:47:49 AM: The PSP version releases next week so it will be interesting to see how that goes compared to Vita/3DS. Either way Level-5 shot themselves in the foot. They probably should have chose one platform to release TT on and stuck to it.

This might be the last time we see a Wii game top the charts.

Dragon Quest X might when it comes out on August 2nd. It'll depend on how the fanbase feels about it being an MMO instead of a more traditional game and how big NSMB 2 second week sales will be.

Post by: Louieturkey on July 27, 2012, 01:52:06 PM: After seven years on the market, Mario Kart DS is going to surpass 4 million sales this year most likely.

If you add up all the iterations of Monster Hunter 3, I wonder what the total sales would be there. I know the original release on the Wii was over a million and the first release on the PSP went over 4 million. If you add in the budget version, the PS3 version and the nearly 1.5 million for the 3DS version, how close has it come to 8 million in sales in Japan alone?

Then compare the Skyward Sword sales with some of Nintendo's more "casual" offerings that are in the millions. It's depressing. We complain about Nintendo not developing enough triple-A, deep adventure or RPG games or whatnot, but business is business, I guess. The numbers don't lie.

There is no PS3 or PSP versions. Portable 3rd is a different game completely from Tri.

Post by: Ian Sane on July 27, 2012, 02:58:41 PM: Weren't the sales of Twilight Princess somewhat low in Japan as well? Japan doesn't seem to like Zelda anymore. That's disconcerning because Nintendo really cares a lot about the Japanese market. They really don't seem to like how Metroid is not popular in Japan, regardless of it's popularity in the US and that is most likely reason we got Other M. I would hate if Nintendo felt the need to cater Zelda towards the Japanese audience. Let Zelda be Zelda for Zelda fans.

Of course Skyward Sword's sales could also be affected by it coming out so late on a system that has long been written off as the "casual" system. Nintendo did spend five years scaring away the very audience for such a game. I don't think any sales figures for core games this late into the Wii's life should be taken into account in regards to decisions about what games to bring to the Wii U. The Wii has been a barren desert and one can assume that can have a negative effect on the sales of games.

Though if Nintendo interprets this as motion control not being well received in Zelda I'll be fine with that. :)

No, they don't like home console Zelda anymore. Phantom Hourglass sold over 900,000 in Japan and Spirit Tracks sold around 700,000. This says there's still a good sized Zelda fanbase in Japan but they prefer the series on a handheld device, like a lot of other Nintendo series. It just goes to show how much of the Japanese gaming audience has moved to handheld only gaming and home consoles are becoming more and more niche.

Skyward Sword sold over 3.5 million copies worldwide which is higher then half the Zelda games ever made. Zelda has never sold as many copies as games like Mario and Pokemon and of course is never going to sell as much as Wii Sports and Wii Fit which were designed with complete mass market appeal. For the type of series it is, Zelda continues to sell just fine.

Yeah Zelda games usually have pretty good legs. Skyward Sword should easily be able to pass the 4 million mark and that's while still at $50 and on the dead Wii. When Nintendo eventually lowers the price to $20 and the Wii U comes out, I wouldn't be surprised if Skyward Sword is able to even pass the 5 million mark.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Tamazoid on July 28, 2012, 04:38:23 AM: Considering Ocarina of Time 3DS out sold Skyward Sword in Japan Zelda isn't dead yet. I wonder if Skyward Sword broke even. It is the most expensive Nintendo game to date.

@Luigi Dude
I believe Skyward sword has dropped from $50 in the US. It's probably one of the few high profile Nintendo games to have a quick price drop this generation (besides Other M of course)
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 28, 2012, 11:12:37 AM: Syward Sword is still $49.99 in the US, at least with MSRP. Nintendo gets that MSRP regardless of what the retailer sells it for. A retailer could sell the game for $1, but that still paid Nintendo ~$42 for it (so the retailer takes the loss). Nintendo made over $100 million on the game, so it's almost guaranteed they made a profit.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Tamazoid on July 29, 2012, 01:03:11 PM: Marvelous are absolutely killing it with the 3DS. Both Harvest Moon and Ruin Factory have sold outstanding (Compared to other entries in the franchise). On the other hand Level 5 haven't been going that well. Guild 01 bombed, so did Girl's RPG and Time Travelers.

Another surprise is the return of Fire Emblem. 420,000 is amazing for the series. Depending on how Nintendo market it it could atleast double that amount when released in the West next year. Hopefully 3DS Ambassadors got sucked in with Sacred Stones and will get the game.

According to Famitsu the 3DS LL has sold 192k units in 2 days.
NSMB2 has sold 413k in the same amount of time (It's unclear if that includes digital sales or not)

So the XL has sold more in 2 days than the Vita has in over 3 months.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 31, 2012, 06:56:48 AM: Famitsu doesn't track digital sales, so that would be "no" (not sure if they count the download cards though). If those numbers are accurate, that is pretty damn good for both.

Post by: Killer_Man_Jaro on August 02, 2012, 12:45:14 PM: I hear Dragon Quest X launches in Japan today. No idea if first-day numbers are possible to obtain, but I'd be fascinated to know how this game does - there are factors for and against it's success relative to earlier instalments in the franchise. Moreover, it might inform whether the game ever makes it to the West (and I mean at all, not on Wii, as only the Wii U version really has a chance of being localised.)

Marvelous are absolutely killing it with the 3DS. Both Harvest Moon and Ruin Factory have sold outstanding (Compared to other entries in the franchise). On the other hand Level 5 haven't been going that well. Guild 01 bombed, so did Girl's RPG and Time Travelers.

Another surprise is the return of Fire Emblem. 420,000 is amazing for the series. Depending on how Nintendo market it it could atleast double that amount when released in the West next year. Hopefully 3DS Ambassadors got sucked in with Sacred Stones and will get the game.
Meh. Guild 01 was a really poor concept, in my opinion. I heard a lot of good stuff about Time Travelers though, so that's a shame.

I doubt there's really THAT many ambassadors to generate hype for Fire Emblem. But, regardless, that game pushes the 3DS' features and capabilities, so I hope it gets promoted well.

Thanks to a Twitter link from Mr. Bivens (Japan correspondent), I was able to watch a live stream of a guy playing DQX this morning. After viewing his playtime, I'm even more excited about this game...

I'm a huge MMO fan, and it looks like DQX may take things back to basics a bit - which is absolutely fantastic, if you ask me. As someone who's been playing FFXIV since launch (catastrophic launch, mind you), and is personally looking quite forward to v2.0's release this September/October, DQX makes me raise a bit of a brow at FFXIV. Of course, like others have already mentioned, there's really no way the Wii version of DQX will get released in the states, but a Wii U version most definitely could. And when/if that day comes, I'll be picking up this one up. No doubt.

Battle system looks to be a mix of real time and menu based, but the one aspect I wasn't able to really notice was if there was a concrete targeting system built in to battle mechanics. FFXIV's is excellent (as was FFXI's, too), but I noticed the guy's character not being able to strafe around his opponent. I dunno, though... I guess we'll find out more info in the coming months.

But yeah, game looks great.

Post by: Mop it up on August 02, 2012, 08:12:26 PM: Anyone want to take bets on how big of a boost Wii sales will get from Dragon Quest X? Will it be at the top of the list once more?

I'm guessing it will be. This may be different from the typical Dragon Quest game, but it's still a numbered entry in the series so I think it's going to be a big hit.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Tamazoid on August 03, 2012, 03:41:51 AM: It will probably boost to 20-30k. I'd imagine most people who want Dragon Quest X will also have a Wii already.
My prediction is that Dragon Quest X will open between 400-500k units.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on August 03, 2012, 09:51:02 AM: Dragon Warrior VII did incredibly well despite coming out 5 1/2 years after PS1 came out and after PS2 was already out (in Japan), and provided a nice boost for the system despite it being widely sold already.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Tamazoid on August 03, 2012, 11:28:42 PM: True, but the Wii has had much better market penetration than the PS1. Added with the fact DQ X is a MMORPG it is going to have far less market appeal than DQ VII had. I'm probably going to be wrong but I don't see the Wii having a mini revival for a week with units flying off the shelves.

From the Neogaf sales thread apparently DQ X has had a 50% sell through of the edition bundled with USB and a 30% sell through for the stand alone copy. So it looks like it is on track to sell 300-400k for its first week.

The first Dragon Quest MMO lands on the Wii selling 367k. Also, 41k Wii systems sold. To put this in to perspective, Dragon Quest IX and VIII cleared 2 million units in their first week of sale in Japan.

Post by: Luigi Dude on August 08, 2012, 09:08:00 PM: Dragon Quest X is already off to a much better start then Final Fantasy XI which Square Enix has said ended up being the most profitable Final Fantasy in the series, even though it's one of the worst selling Final Fantasy's, thanks to the people buying it constantly paying the online fee's month after month for many years.

So Dragon Quest X despite selling worse then previous Dragon Quest, could still end up being the most profitable game in the series thanks to online fee's over the next several years.

Anyway, as expected, a softer launch than usual for a numbered Dragon Quest game. Hardly a surprise, although if the online catches on, it could have long legs in the charts.

Post by: Louieturkey on August 09, 2012, 02:24:46 PM: Don't worry about NSMB2. It'll get steady sales going forward and a surge at Christmas time and it'll end up selling well over 1.5 million before the year is done.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on August 09, 2012, 02:43:41 PM: There's also the fact that digital download sales aren't being tracked in these charts. The charts we see here each week only show the numbers for retail sales, not online sales. Only Nintendo has access to those numbers and has said they'll eventually release them. So NSMB 2 sales are actually higher then what these charts are showing, but how much higher we won't know until Nintendo releases the numbers.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: marty on August 09, 2012, 04:21:10 PM: I wasn't thinking NSMB2 digital sales so the numbers from both are higher, and that might skew the overall percentages. Still, I was expecting to do better than it did it's first full week out than it did in the first 3 days. I guess my initial surprise was that 2/3 of the total units sold in the first 1/3 of the time and my reflex mental math (based on super limited data) suggested that it would sell only 100k in the next 2 weeks and only 50k next month etc. which I'm not suggesting will happen.

It's hard to factor in digital sales. All PSV games I believe are available for digital download for cheaper. So the numbers we see on the charts also don't reflect those games either. But we put the system down all the time (not saying it's good, but you can't be selective on what digital sales you say mean something).

Quote from: Siliconera
Hardware sales were down year-over-year by 32%. “Of the hardware platforms that were on the market last July, only one, the 3DS, realized a unit sales increase over last year,” says the NPD’s Anita Frazier. Additionally, while the DS and 3DS saw increased sales over the month prior, all other platforms declined from their June numbers.

Meanwhile, physical software sales in the U.S. (this includes PC games) dropped by 23% year-over-year to $278.2 million. The important thing to note is that this only accounts for physical goods. The NPD estimate that if you were to take digital sales—including full game purchases, DLC, rentals, subscriptions and mobile apps into account—the spend on software would amount to $1.1 billion.

...

While it isn’t mentioned in the list above, the NPD Group point out that, if the list were divided up by individual console SKUs, Pokémon Conquest would be in the top-ten (again) as well. They also pointed out that both Batman: Arkham City and Dead Island saw a boost, thanks to the release of their Game of the Year editions.

But we put the system down all the time (not saying it's good, but you can't be selective on what digital sales you say mean something).

The Vita gets put down because of its terrible hardware sales though. While Vita digital sales might have made some games higher, it still doesn't change the fact the hardware sales have been a total disaster. The Vita hasn't even hit the 1 million mark in Japan yet even though it's been out for about 8 months. In just this year alone, the Vita has only sold over 400k in Japan so far, while the 3DS has sold over 2.6 million within the same time span.

Plus in the case of NSMB 2 you can be selective since it's a new game from an extremely popular series, NSMB 2, on a system way more popular then the Vita which means it could easily be putting up some big digital sales which could account for a significantly higher overall sales. The DS NSMB sold eventually sold over 6 million copies in Japan and the Wii version over 4 million. It's not that hard based on all the facts to believe NSMB 2 could currently have a few hundred thousand extra sales thanks to digital download that we don't know about yet.

It's interesting that Black Ops is now outselling MW3 each month.

MW3 sucks. Hopefully the lackluster sales will convince Activision not to bother with an MW4, and instead move the series back in time to some other era of history (like say the American Civil War).

Post by: Luigi Dude on August 13, 2012, 12:41:55 PM: Black Ops outselling Modern Warfare 3 probably has more to do with the fact Modern Warware 3 has sold more copies then Black Ops, and now people who bought Modern Warfare 3 are getting tired of it and buying Black Ops because they're new to the series and want to play the game that came out before the one they just bought.

You're talking bullshit out of your ass. MW3 has most certainly not sold more than Black Ops. It had more pre-orders, but that's it. Sales tapered off and it hasn't as well since that as Black Ops has at the same period in its life, plus Black Ops has a full year advantage over it.

MW3 has done poorly, and that's because the brains behind Infinity Ward left and Activision had to reconstruct the company with scabs who aren't as talented, and the game is just a copy and paste job of MW2 with only minor differences. When people pre-ordered the game they didn't know better, and that's why it broke Black Ops record, but as soon as word of mouth got out that's why sales dropped and that's why Black Ops is outselling it right now. Because people know Black Ops is a better quality game and done by Treyarch which is a better developer than Infinity Ward ever was, and that's even more true now that Infinity Ward has been disemboweled of its creative talent and replaced by talentless scabs.

Please show me proof that MW3 LTD has outsold Black Ops LTD. I want to see this.

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised one bit if MW2 LTD has MW3 beat.

Post by: TJ Spyke on August 13, 2012, 04:33:18 PM: People who didn't follow the IW founders (after they were fired for breach of contract) are not scabs. They actually like being employed and having a guaranteed job. And "scab" refers to people crossing a picket line, there was no strike involved.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on August 13, 2012, 04:43:09 PM: TJ, I know there was no strike per se. But the term is somewhat appropriate because these are people Activision hired to replace the old talent that was fired or left because of being mistreated.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on August 13, 2012, 05:04:34 PM: Wow... That's an enormously wide application of the word "scab." I'm afraid most, if not all, workers would qualify under your definition Chozo.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on August 13, 2012, 05:11:46 PM: Chozo, eomployees get fired at quit all the time. So you are saying that if McDonald's fires someone, then the person hired to replace them is a scab? Then almost everybody is a scab at somepoint.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on August 13, 2012, 05:17:31 PM: No matter what you want to call them, they are replacements and they aren't as talented so the quality of the product wasn't as good as it would have been if the old talent hadn't left. That was my point.

2 years sounds about right. Each COD game takes about 2 years. We see a new one every year, but there are two studios working on the franchise and and as soon as they release one they begin work on the next. In Respawn's case it might take a year or more longer than that though, because they are essentially starting over from scratch. They obviously can't use the IW engine, although maybe they have access to Frostbite and can modify that to their purposes?

And as far as people getting sick of the MW franchise, that might be true to some extent, but remember there was a huge difference from MW1 and MW2. But the difference from MW2 to MW3 is very negligible. Some people call it MW2.5 or even MW2.1 because that's how little different it is. And the story sucks and is very cliche compared to MW2 so even though its a little different it isn't necessarily better. Some of the things they did in Multiplayer were nice and helped bring some balance though, but its nothing that couldn't have just been done in a patch or addon to MW2. MW3 feels like an add on and at $60 it is very overpriced for what it is. I think the whole Elite thing Activision introduced to try to milk more money out of people probably ended up turning off a lot of people too, but I won't fault Infinity Ward for that because they probably had little say in that decision.

I went searching online and the only place that shows up that has any comparisons is vgchartz and I really don't trust them. But they do show MW3 as the highest seller, at least as of May 2012. The numbers seem low for the other entries in the series though. Here's the article I found for what it's worth. (http://www.vgchartz.com/article/250163/call-of-duty-a-sales-history/)

Post by: Louieturkey on August 15, 2012, 08:38:27 PM: My guess is DQX will settle around less than 10,000 a week in about a month and it'll sustain that level for some time.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on August 15, 2012, 08:38:47 PM: I wonder if NPD stopped providing detailed breakdowns precisely because vgchartz would use them to"tweak" their own predictions and models and then claim that they were close to NPD and thus a suitable replacement. NPD probably realized that their public numbers were actually helping vgchartz make claims of respectability, and thus they clamped down on their "some free numbers" policy in order to protect their business.

Everyone is waiting on the Wii U version.
atleast waiting to see what it looks like.

NA won't buy in on the Wii Version, but a Wii U version we can play on or away from the TV...
potential gold mine.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on August 15, 2012, 11:37:49 PM: I assume you mean the uMote, and just the fact that it is an RPG, why wouldn't they let you play on just the uMote screen? That would be a killer app for the game.... especially in countries like Korea/Taiwan or wherever it is that people sit on internet cafe's till they die from exhaustion.

you can play on the TV, and then everyone else in your house needs to use the TV, you can just continue, uninterrupted, on the couch, toilet, bed, table, hallway, porch, etc etc. and then back on the TV once it's free again.

If that doesn't sell this MMO against all other MMO's, then I don't know what will.
and I'm sure FFXV will support the "Off TV Play" feature too.

I doubt this game will ever be a "gold mine" in NA. It's a subscription-based MMO that's NOT WoW, and it's based on a franchise that is not terribly popular outside Japan. Maybe 4-5 years ago they could have turned out respectable numbers on par with Final Fantasy XI, but the MMO market's changed too much in that short span of time. If frickin' Star Wars can't be successful as a subscription-based MMO in NA, Dragon Quest definitely won't pull it off.

Maybe if Nintendo was willing to eat the server costs here in NA to provide Dragon Quest X as a free-to-play MMO (outside of the initial disc purchase), it could be successful here. But Nintendo's not going to do that, and Square-Enix really doesn't have the money these days to eat the associated costs.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Enner on August 16, 2012, 01:41:00 AM: DQX will be tricky for the North American market. The subscription-less route would be nice but it is unknown how the money works out. Also unknown is whether how feasible it will be offer compelling and reasonable micro transactions for a free-to-play service. (Can't be that hard.) There is the Guild Wars route of having frequent expansions instead of a subscriptions, but Square Enix in Japan would have to play ball.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: noname2200 on August 16, 2012, 09:02:40 PM: The "frequent expansions' route also has the problem of having all the content that is not on the original disc be limited to the 16 GB USB drive. I doubt the Wii'll be as good at installing expansions as the PC.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on August 16, 2012, 10:11:09 PM: So I guess I need to hold out hope for a Wii U version to make it to NA, and that well-thought out microtransactions help the game be financially feasible enough to make it here.

I've heard that DQX uses two discs to install on the 16 GB USB drive. Assuming they are both dual-layered discs, that would fill the 16 GB stick. I was thinking there might be space for content updates but that might not be the case. It would be remiss of Square Enix to provide a 16 GB drive when it would become obsolete in 2-3 years of time and content expansions.

A micro transaction route seems the only likely route. Well, unless subscriptions are cheap like less than US$5 per month.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on August 17, 2012, 08:57:05 PM: According to this report (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/08/17/downloads-account-for-5-percent-of-new-super-mario-bros-2-sales/), downloads only account for 5% of NSMB2 sales. So using that, it's sold somewhere around 800,000 copies as of last charts.

Quote
Nintendo's digital distribution scheme for retail games has had a relatively slow start in Japan. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata told the Wall Street Journal that digital sales of New Super Mario Bros. 2 (http://joystiq.com/game/new-super-mario-bros-2), which was released in the region on July 28, have made up 5% of the total. Iwata seemed all right with this result: "This initial offering going forward, we've gotten a good reaction going," he said.

The other new retail/digital game, the Brain Age sequel Demon Training, has sold approximately 20% of its total audience digitally. Iwata believes the reason more people opted for the downloadable version of that game is the convenience of playing the daily challenges without swapping cartridges.

Yikes! That can't be right. Or else there won't be space for any additional content, like you said. Although I didn't even know that DQ X was a two-disc game. The more you know...
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on August 21, 2012, 10:51:28 PM: I don't think Dragon Quest X would ever sell more than three copies if it carried a subscription fee outside of Japan. They would be smart to take the route that CapCom did with Monster Hunter and make the online play free, as I firmly believe no one would have bought that game otherwise. If that means we don't get the extra content that Japan will get down the road, that's fine with me. The game sounds meaty enough as it is.

At the least, I'm certainly not buying the game if it carries a fee. And I like Dragon Quest. I doubt the players who were introduced to the series with IX would go for it either.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on August 21, 2012, 10:58:01 PM: The problem with comparing this to Monster Hunter is that Capcom was basically only charging for the multiplayer because they could get away with it due to how popular the series was. With Dragon Quest X there are actual servers to maintain, so it's not as easy to give away the online component for free. There's the possibility of working out some free-to-play mechanics for a Western release, but I don't know that the audience for the game in the West is big enough, even with free online, to be worth the trouble.

No new games this week. The top 10 are all games on Nintendo platforms.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on August 22, 2012, 08:33:15 PM: And 16 of the top 20 are on Nintendo systems as well. I remember there were weeks where 15 of the top 20 were just DS games. Nintendo is finally getting the love spread around. Suddenly the Wii is having a resurgence. It's been a long time since 5 Wii games were sitting in the top 20 like this.

And NSMB2 actually had more sales this week than last at nearly 150,000. That's just crazy. If the 5% digital sales is still correct, sales are over 950,000 and it'll easily pass 1 million next week (or this week I guess).

With Dragon Quest X there are actual servers to maintain, so it's not as easy to give away the online component for free.
MHT runs on its own servers, too, even in the US. And if Nintendo publish the game as they have the last three Dragon Quest games, then they could just use the regular Nintendo Wi-Fi/Nintendo Network servers.

Different kinds of servers. Monster Hunter, and virtually every other console online game, uses servers just for matchmaking, while the actual gameplay is peer-to-peer. Dragon Quest X is a straight up MMO, with a persistent world that requires server hosting that's much more extensive and therefore expensive than what other games use. They'd have to make that money back somehow, either with a subscription fee or microtransactions.

Seriously people, my username has nothing to do with disco music and everything to do with the fact that my name is Stuart and I love The Simpsons. Not that I have any problem with disco as a style of music.

I never assumed your real name was actually Stu. I figured you just thought the Simpsons character was funny.

Honest question, how much does it cost to run such servers? Since technology has increased dramatically over time, I had always figured that in this day and age, running servers of all kinds was dirt cheap, but I've never done any research on that. I already feel that $50-60 for a single game is expensive, and so charging a fee simply to play a game feels like a big ripoff and is something I'd never do. Especially since we're talking about a game that's already made and just needs to be translated.

I wonder how easy it would be to convert the game to a system more like MHT, where there are designated meeting areas. I actually have no interest in the MMO aspect of it, and so I'd prefer if it were like that because then I could choose to play only with my friends and not have to meet randoms. Letting you play offline would be ideal for the US release as well. If Nintendo pick it up, maybe they'll make such changes so that the game actually has a chance of selling.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on August 23, 2012, 09:43:44 PM: I don't know specifics, but the cost is enough that Square Enix or Nintendo wouldn't be willing to just eat it. They get your $50-60 one time, but have to continue operating the servers for a much longer time. To change the game to not require it would also require an investment, one that there's no guarantee they'll get back given how niche the series is in the west.

I honestly think there's a good chance the game is never released outside of Japan.

Dragon Quest IX managed to sell over 1 million copies in the West thanks to Nintendo's marketing so the series is not that niche when marketed well. Since DQIX got a big marketing campaign and was a million seller, DQX would probably get a similar campaign as well and if Nintendo and Square Enix are expecting another million in western sales, I could see them making big changes to the western release since they're expecting it to sell similar to DQIX.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on August 23, 2012, 10:53:49 PM: Actually, DQIX really didn't do all that well, nintendo overprinted and that's why you'll find fhe game in the bargin bins for $10 or so. Think it was less than a 1/4 million before the price reduction, JRPGs really don't sell anymore in the states.

As for Mop's question, it's not the server costs that's important but the bandwidth costs is what kills these companies and why subscriptions are so important or P2P item sales. Also, if you're paying monthly you'll going want patches/updates and that'll require manpower which eats money as well.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on August 23, 2012, 11:18:39 PM: Actually, the game did sell pretty well. It's first month alone it sold about 124K copies in the US. The game is still full price at most retail stores. The only places that seem to sell it for less are places like Amazon.

One noteworthy thing you can see is that NSMB2 passed 1 million sales if you include the theoretical digital sales (said to be at 5% of the retail sales a couple of weeks ago). It'll cross 1 million retail sales next week.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on August 29, 2012, 06:24:42 PM: I've given up hoping for DQX, there's a lot going against the game. The Wii version is definitely not coming, I already knew that, but even the Wii U version seems highly unlikely. The DQ audience here won't go for an MMO, and Square won't put in the effort to change the game so that it's more like MHT and free to play (no way I'd ever pay a subscription fee). The only way I see that happening is if Nintendo still do the publishing and back the changes themselves, but that seems unlikely given that they wouldn't even touch XenoBlade and The Last Story.

You do realize Iwata has mandated NOA and NOE have to publish the Dragon Quest games in the West? Dragon Quest is one of the biggest series in Japan and Nintendo publishing it in the West is one of the things helps keep it Nintendo exclusive. Why else do you think NOA published both Dragon Quest VI and Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 for the DS last year, even though they were trying to focus on the 3DS which made them ignore some of their own games like the 2nd DS Fire Emblem.

This is why Dragon Quest X will come out in the West because NCL will make it come to the West. This is a game NOA won't be able to refuse.

I can't imagine that Iwata forcing NoA to publish a series that's proven to be unsuccessful in the West goes over well with the investors, though. I'm sure that goes over even better with a game like DQ X that has a continual upkeep cost and a subscription fee in a culture that has shunned subscription-based MMOs in the past few years. :-\ And with DQ X under-performing at launch compared to other DQ games, I don't know if even exclusivity can justify pouring more resources into that money sink.

Nintendo can throw as much money at Dragon Quest in the West as they wish. It will never catch on here, and certainly not to the extent the Japanese fawn over it. The archaic, nostalgia-driven philosophies that govern that series will never make that series more than a minor niche franchise over here. It will never be what even Final Fantasy is over here.

EDIT: According to Silconera (I'm not putting the link up because my Anti-virus software registered a rootkit attack when I went there), DQ IX sold roughly a million copies between NA and EU. That's...decent, I suppose (especially by Dragon Quest standards), but when the game sells 4 million units in Japan alone IIRC you have to figure that's a disappointment for the local Nintendo branches (especially considering how large the DS install base is).

The game has sold 1.02 million copies in the US and Europe (http://www.siliconera.com/2011/01/27/heres-how-much-dragon-quest-ix-sold-overseas/ (http://www.siliconera.com/2011/01/27/heres-how-much-dragon-quest-ix-sold-overseas/)), that is without a doubt a success.

Damn, you beat my edit. :P: : : Seriously, folks, don't go to that link. Your computer could be at risk.

1 million copies between Nintendo's two largest regions in the world is not terribly great by Nintendo standards, especially with all the marketing Nintendo put into it and the DS's huge install base. The game sold 4 million copies in Japan alone IIRC, just as a point of comparison. And as like is not the Wii U will never have the install base the DS has (really, what could?), so I think we can safely say that 400,000 - 500,000 copies per region is probably the series' maximum potential.

Post by: Enner on August 30, 2012, 05:39:25 AM: The only way I see DQX happening outside of Japan is Nintendo rolling the dice with a free-to-play version or a Guild Wars 2 style no-subscription model and crossing fingers. They can certainly test the waters with some sort of free, public beta or playable preview and decide whether to go for it from there.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on August 30, 2012, 07:28:03 AM: As long as Nintendo at least breaks even by bringing DQ over then they should do it. It doesn't have to be a multi-million seller to be worth it.

Anyway, I'm glad Iwata is FORCING NOA to bring it over. He should do that more often, because its almost like Reggie is AWOL. What is Reggie being paid for? To show up at E3 and a few other conferences/expos a year and talk crap about kicking ass and talking names? Reggie does absolutely nothing meaningful. He talks, but doesn't do.

I'm not sure how accurate these numbers really are.

I mean, they probably were accurate on January 27th, 2011 when the article was first published... but DQIX had only been released for 6 months at that time, and now it's been well over 18 months (which included many price drops and sales) since we've seen any data. I'm not sure how accurate or meaningful the numbers are now.

Did the game reach or approach 1,000,000 copies sold per region? What was the distribution like between Europe and North America? Did it, along with the DS remakes of IV/V/VI, grow Western interest in the series enough to justify a new game? How many copies need to be sold to justify localization, since the game already existed (and development for the Japanese market was going to happen regardless of global interest).

Most likely, sales of DQIX dropped off significantly after the first six months. Most likely, a pay-to-play model won't work very well in North America for future games. But I don't think dismissing interest in Dragon Quest X is entirely fair without some more data.

And with DQ X under-performing at launch compared to other DQ games, I don't know if even exclusivity can justify pouring more resources into that money sink.
Just to put this in perspective, SE stated recently that FFXI was the most successful FF ever for them and that was an MMO. I believe they stated they needed 500,000 sales to break even on that game. Well, if DQX is anywhere close to the same number for break even status, I'd say they are well on their way to making a profit on it and possibly bringing it out in the other two majoy regions could be mostly gravy.

I doubt it "could be mostly gravy", considering the localization and server costs for making an English version and how less significant Dragon Quest is outside Japan. I don't doubt it has broken even in Japan (the Japanese will buy anything Dragon Quest-branded), but I don't think it would be profitable as a subscription-based MMO outside Japan. Maybe if they went Free-to-Play or Nintendo ate the server costs, but otherwise I can't see it being a profitable venture.

As for FF 11, that was a completely different time for MMOs. That market has completely shifted towards Free-to-Play (with pretty much the exception of WoW) since that game released, so I don't think its success back then is altogether relevant now.

I don't know what that even is, but this proves the point I made awhile back of why we shouldn't rule the Vita out. The PSP did poorly for most of its existence until an unknown game called Monster Hunter came out of left field and single handedly saved it. Looks like this Hatsune Miku is the new Monster Hunter of this generation.

Let's not go nuts now.

And for what it's worth, I'm about to count the Vita out myself. Only notable games for it coming out soon are an Ys remake and an Aetlier game. Decent performers, but not exactly platform pushers.

Post by: TJ Spyke on September 06, 2012, 01:18:08 AM: Chozo, PSP would sometimes get spikes from other games too and then drop back down a week or two later. Back in June, the release of a Persona game spiked PSV sales from 13K to 34K. It is nothing like Monster Hunter. For example, Monster Hunter Portable 3rd released in December 2010 and cause PSP sales to jump from 75K to 326K.

Who here seen this game coming and predicted this huge sales boost for the Vita? I sure didn't see it coming. Who knows what else is lurking just around the corner? Like I said, all it takes is for the Vita to get just one Monster Hunter equivalent and its fortunes will change. At least in Japan anyway.

Not likely given how Sega of America seems to run things. A bit of a shame but it would've been a hard sell with how specific the game's potential English-language audience is. Miku will have to settle for a concert at Anime Expo and Toyota commercials.

It may be a unknown game in the west, but it is a VERY popular series in Japan (and has been since the first game came out in 2009). So it's not too surprising the PSV version is doing well.

Post by: NWR_insanolord on September 07, 2012, 07:19:08 AM: I think Treyarch is clearly the better of the two teams at this point, through a combination of their own improvement, as I think most people would argue that each of their entries in the series have been better than their last, and the decline of Infinity Ward, most likely due to all the people they lost in the whole West and Zampella incident. The first Modern Warfare was new and exciting, but IW hasn't really done much beyond iteration since then, and Treyarch continues to push the envelope. Some of the stuff they're talking about for Black Ops 2 actually sounds pretty interesting and innovative.

I haven't played 2 or 3, but WAW was a great game and I think very highly underrated. I know WW2 shooters were done to death at the time it was released and people were sick of that, but it really is the Zenith of the WW2 COD games. There has been none since then, and there has been none that have done it better. This was the ONLY COD game that touched on the pacific theater of WW2. All the other ones just have you fighting the Nazis in Europe, so in that sense it was a refreshing change of pace because you got to touch on a whole other major part of WW2 which hasn't really been explored before or since in an FPS game.

And as far as the multiplayer goes, it is awesome. It remains the only COD to this day that has bayonets which you can use to impale your opponents. Every other COD game just gives you a dinky little knife which is boring in comparison. Also, its the only COD game which has tanks in the multiplayer.

Oh yeah, and you know the super popular COD zombies? WAW was the game which started that? So yeah, it is an awesome game and I think it doesn't get the credit it deserves. I think its mainly because of the WW2 setting. Kids today have no appreciation for history. They want modern and futuristic **** with robots and computers. Well, in Black Ops 2 Treyarch will be giving that to them... but for me personally I think its time for the series to go back to WW2. At that time WW2 games were beaten to death, but that was 5 years ago. I think enough time has past that they could go back to that now..... Actually, if anything the modern warfare games are whats getting repetitive and overdone these days.

Or how about going to WWI. Trench warfare, old-timey guns, bayonets, horses vs. early tanks, chemical warfare, fighting on maps of old-timey European cities, assassinating Archdukes in carriages.
Could be fun.

You can, it's on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network as Call of Duty Classic. Or did you mean the first console one (Call of Duty: Finest Hour)?

Post by: Kairon on September 07, 2012, 02:19:18 PM: Oog. Maybe I'll just buy it on PC one of these days as I need to save for the Wii U instead of buy another console.

Post by: Chozo Ghost on September 07, 2012, 04:43:40 PM: COD Classic may appear on the Wii U's digital download service. I would recommend saving your money and getting it on that if/when it ever does. Actually, ALL of the COD games might eventually appear as downloads on the Wii U. Many of them already do on the PS360. Why wouldn't Activision bring them to Wii U as well? Its nothing but cash in their pocket. Even old COD games have long legs and still sell well (as evident by the fact Black Ops is still on the charts, and even kicking MW3's younger ass).

Just to give perspective, I believe that MW3 has sold more copies at this point, but it looks like BlOps has the legs to go back passed MW3 eventually. In a year, I wouldn't be surprised to see MW3 cheaper than BlOps.

Gimme a heads up if you do. Haven't played that game in years, but I have plenty of fond memories of sub-.500 games.

I say go for a Call of Duty 1 and United Offensive bundle on Steam. To my knowledge, the United Offensive expansion pack is not available on consoles. UO has a wonderful single-player campaign that I think is superior to Call of Duty 1's. Actually, it is my favorite Call of Duty single-player campaign. However, it has been some time since I've played UO and I worry that time has not been kind to it.

Oh, and the team that made UO were eventually merged in to Treyarch.

Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on September 12, 2012, 05:42:23 PM: With the way it's going, I'm pretty sure the 3DS will surpass the lifetime sales of the PS3 before the year is out and definitely surpass the Wii's lifetime sales before next year is done, especially with the Wii U coming out.

Here's a question I wonder about. Will the Wii U surpass the lifetime sales of the Vita before 2012 is done? Will Nintendo produce enough units for Japan for this to even be possible?

Possible, but I am doubtful it will do it that fast. Assuming PS Vita only sold 10K a week, it would be at 1.1 million by the end of the year. Wii sold about 989K in 2006 (it released in Japan on December 2). So Wii U could possible do it.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Chozo Ghost on September 14, 2012, 12:38:49 AM: Nintendo has been quietly producing Wii U systems since 2011 so I'm sure in terms of supply they have enough. But they might want to milk it out with artificial shortages just like they did with the Wii in its first couple years on the market. The more sold out something is, the more it fuels the demand. People want what they can't have.

I don't think that's the case. The rumors are that they've been tweaking the hardware all the way right up into Summer, and that the actual full Wii U machines are only getting fully assembled now.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Tamazoid on September 14, 2012, 07:54:44 AM: I agree with Kairon, I highly doubt Nintendo have been producing the Wii U since last years. We have plenty of rumours from developers that Nintendo have been constantly tweaking the dev kits. Also what's the point of starting production a year before launch? It doesn't make business sense.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: noname2200 on September 14, 2012, 05:24:24 PM: I actually expected the Vita bump to last at least two weeks, with unit sales just north of 20k. Too optimistic, I suppose.

Post by: Louieturkey on September 26, 2012, 07:19:57 PM: Looks like FFIII jumped the PSP above the Vita this week. It's kind of funny because isn't FFIII available for DL on the PSN? So Vita owners could actually play FFIII on the Vita I think.

Nope, FF I and FF II are on PSN but FF III is not. It's only a UMD game.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on September 26, 2012, 08:02:02 PM: Yep, this is why Sony not making the Vita backward compatable was a huge mistake for the Japanese market. Since the PSP is still getting big titles over there, people still have a reason to buy the PSP over the Vita. This is why backward compatibility is a huge deal for new consoles since it give people a reason to pick it up over the cheaper older system. Right now Sony is giving people a reason to continue buying the cheaper PSP since they need it to play any upcoming PSP games they want.

Yeah the Vita might have a lot of PSP games on PSN, but people have to remember that downloadable titles still hasn't caught on with a lot of the gaming audience. Most people prefer to own physical copies of the game and so the Vita not being able to play physical copies of PSP games, when PSP games are still quite popular in Japan is causing a massive split in any sales the Vita might have gotten. Even when the DS or 3DS were at their lowest, they still outsold the GBA or DS because the backward compatibility still made them attractive systems at the time to any newcomers since they could play games for both systems. The Vita doesn't have that luxury and the sales clearly show it.

Post by: Louieturkey on September 26, 2012, 08:32:59 PM: Interesting. I'm guessing there is a chance that it'll eventually come to the PSN though. But again, that wouldn't help the Vita right now anyways.

Nice to see Vita getting an uptick here. I assume that is thanks to Ys Celceta. Style Savvy: Trendsetters debuts at number 3; I didn't know it is a sequel. It looks like Dragon Quest X will drop out of the top 20 next week.

So the 3DS is appealing to the huge audience that the DS had, and is appealing to a large chunk of the PSP audience, which pretty much gives Nintendo almost total monopoly over the Japanese handheld market now.

The Wii has been on life support since the start of the year. DQX and to a lesser extent Kirby Dream Collection was the Wii's final hurrah. The next Taiko drum game might give it a small boost but it's probably going to stay at around 5k per week (Does 5k a week classify as dead) until the Wii U releases and it will probably completely die. It really depends on if Nintendo stops production or continues to supply retailers with stock. If they expanded their Nintendo Selects line to most notable first party games the Wii probably could live on for another year or two. Sadly it doesn't look like they'll do that.

I was under the assumption that you can use the circle pad for Mario 64 DS if you play it on the 3DS. Doesn't the circle pad also work as a d-pad in DS mode?

Even if Nintendo stop producing Wii systems, I think they'll still come out with one more batch of Nintendo Selects titles because they are playable on the Wii U. At this point, selling those games is pure profit, and I can see them being advertised as "playable on Wii U!" so that the early adapters waiting for games have something to play until more Wii U games come out in the future. For me though, I think I have most of what they'd put on the line, but maybe they'll surprise me and do something like Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

It can be used in place of the D-pad yes, but it's still digital control and not analogue so it doesn't help any.

Bravely Default and Project X Zone have a nice first week.

Quote from: http://www.siliconera.com/2012/10/17/this-week-in-sales-bravely-default-flies-high/
Bravely Default: Flying Fairy, Square Enix’s new Nintendo 3DS RPG, was last week’s big release in Japan, and it came out the gate with 141,529 copies sold in its first week. That’s a great debut for a new franchise, and it’s even better when you compare it to first-week sales of Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light.

Released in 2009 for the Nintendo DS, Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light sold 114,714 copies in its first week. Bravely Default, which looks like something of a spiritual successor, outselling it without the help of the Final Fantasy brand is quite something. Congratulations to producer, Tomoya Asano, and writer, Naotaka Hayashi, on a brand new game!

EDIT: Bravely Default has a nice first week. Project X Zone doesn't.

Quote from: http://www.siliconera.com/2012/10/19/bravely-default-sees-85-sell-through-project-x-zone-only-57/
Bravely Default: Flying Fairy got off to a good start in Japan, having sold 141,529 copies in its first week, which is rather impressive for a brand new franchise.

Sales tracker, Media Create, report that Bravely Default sold through 85.68% of its initial shipment, adding further evidence that the game has sold rather well.

...

Meanwhile, Project X Zone didn’t fare nearly as well. The game sold 85,539 copies in its first week, and Media Create report a 57.55% sell-through for the game. Furthermore, 70% of the game’s first-week sales came from pre-orders, which means Project X Zone didn’t sell a whole lot beyond its existing fanbase.

What fanbase? Media Create compare Project X Zone to Namco x Capcom, which was released on the PlayStation 2 back in 2005. That game sold about 87,000 copies in its first week.

PXZ is made by a different team at Monolith Soft then the one that made Xenoblade. The Xenoblade team has been working on something new for the Wii U. PXZ was made by the team that made the Super Robot Taisen OG Saga games for the DS.

Probably has to do with who published it.
Nintendo will probably publish outside of Japan.

Namco Bandai (known as Bandai Namco only in Japan) is the publisher, that is why they are listed since the charts list the publisher.

Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier
Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans
Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier EXCEED

All made by Monolith Soft after Nintendo bought them and published by Namco for the DS.

THQ said it needed to sell about 2 million units to justify a sequel, and even the rosiest possible sales for the upcoming Wii U version can't and won't make up the difference.

Just another example of a THQ not managing their budgets well. The original Darksiders only sold 1 million copies, so allowing the sequels budget to get so big it would need to sell twice as many was very stupid of them. Decisions like this are the reason THQ will be dead soon.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Tamazoid on October 21, 2012, 04:22:55 AM: I'm surprised at how poorly it sold,THQ didn't do a bad job advertising it and people were talking about it. It had much more hype behind it than the first game.

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy sticking to third place. It is sold out in a bunch of places so it must be doing well.

Speaking with Super Philip Central (via: GoNintendo), O’Leary remarks: “We’re not satisfied with the sales. The 3DS attach rate is… challenging at best and it seems that, for all its promise, Heroes of Ruin did not appeal to enough of the installed base.”

He adds: “I am super pleased with what we made and would love to return to the genre one day, but I fear that Heroes did not have enough commercial impact to justify a sequel.”

Bummer :(

Dang. That's really sad. HoR is one of my most-played 3ds games.

I'm surprised at how poorly it sold,THQ didn't do a bad job advertising it and people were talking about it. It had much more hype behind it than the first game.

We can't be sure whether it's a financial failure though. It could have made a small profit, but not one big enough to justify a sequel. THQ can really only green light games now that are sure successes.

Maybe Nintendo can swoop in and save Darksiders Bayonetta style?

Post by: Tamazoid on October 25, 2012, 05:25:21 AM: Doubt it, the co founder of Vigil and the creator of Darksiders left Vigil. The series is basically dead now.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on October 25, 2012, 04:33:43 PM: Nobody knows the actual sales for Darksiders II and they are taking into account worldwide sales, not just US sales. It could still end up being profitable.

Idolm@ster proves to be significantly more popular than AKB48 within video game purchasers. Bravely Default clears 200k. The Playstation Vita version of Street Fighter x Tekken barely makes it in to the top 20.

Post by: Louieturkey on November 01, 2012, 02:53:02 PM: Interesting. The 3DS is going to outsell the lifetime sales of the PS3 this year and the 3DS LL is likely going to outsell the lifetime sales of the Vita this year as well. Vita really needs help.

Having their second holiday be headlined with something beyond an RPG would be a good start.

Games for Sony platforms up at top this week.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: MrPhishfood on November 08, 2012, 03:15:37 PM: Wow PSP still going reasonably strong. I know how Sony are saying its a marathon not a sprint but I just don't see how the Vita can catch up at this point.

Looking at Vita's list of upcoming games and existing games it seems hardly anyone is willing to develop an original title. A lot of them are just ports of existing titles and there aren't many games that are suitable for portable play (like playing in short bursts of 5 minutes)

Quote
October represented a month of “steep declines” for videogame sales at retail, owing to lower sales of games as compared to last year, when hits like Battlefield 3 and Batman: Arkham City were released, the NPD Group reported this afternoon. Hardware sales dropped 37% while total retail spend dropped from $1 billion to $755.5 million.

There were a few exceptions to the decline trend. Skylanders: Giants sold over 160% more units than last year’s Skylanders title did in its debut month and NBA 2K12 outsold last year’s game by 60%. Meanwhile, FIFA Soccer 13 saw an increase of 13% as compared to its predecessor. However, these games alone weren’t enough to offset the decline of the retail console software market.

Sales of portable software, however, were up 37% as compared to last year, owing to the release of Pokémon Black/White 2.

I wonder what caused the bump in 3DS systems when there wasn't really anything released that week.

Monster Hunter bundle was released. Probably also why Monster Hunter reappeared on the chart. Plus people are probably buying a 3DS since Animal Crossing launched yesterday. The bump is still interesting considering people are expecting 3DS sales to almost double this week due to Animal Crossing.

Poor Sony.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on November 09, 2012, 09:40:56 AM: PS3 @ 30k avg for the next 9 weeks = +270k for a total of 8.85million units
PSV @ 7.5k avg for next 9 weeks = +67.5k for a total of about 1.09million units
(the above adds in a very small Xmas bump of ~50% increase in sales average over current sales)

3DS only needs 950k which = 105k avg over the next 9 weeks to pass that theoretical number
3DS LL only needs about 200k which = 22.2k a week for the next 9 weeks which should be really easy since it's already did 63k last week and 38k the week before that.

As a Vita owner, I think this is a false perception but given Sony's abysmal Vita marketing I can't say I blame you for having it. Vita just had what I consider to be its best release month since launch, especially on the download side. In the next episode of NFR, I'll be talking about 3 of those October releases: Dokuro, Orgarhythm, and Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation (which is a Vita-exclusive original title). All 3 are worthwhile in their own ways and very portable play-friendly, but Sony doesn't seem interested in telling anyone that.

Vita's problem software-wise is that many of its exclusives play to very specific niches, and it doesn't really have that general audience break-out title like Nintendo has with Mario. That said, the games it has are quite good and I don't regret my Vita purchase. It's unfortunate that the handheld is saddled with Sony's marketing department.

Interesting. The 3DS is going to outsell the lifetime sales of the PS3 this year and the 3DS LL is likely going to outsell the lifetime sales of the Vita this year as well. Vita really needs help.

I'm actually planning to get a Vita at some point, mainly because I never had a PSP either. I want to play those games on that system I always wanted to play but couldn't because I never got a PSP. I think for the Vita, I'm either waiting for a price drop or a bundle I can't refuse. I'm hoping that FFX HD remake gets a bundle. I think I'd get the system for that.

Post by: NWR_insanolord on November 09, 2012, 02:41:17 PM: I don't see how they have any other option than to lower their price early next year. I'm kind of shocked they didn't do it for the holiday; even if they'd have lost money, it would have gotten the hardware into people's hands, getting them to buy games and convince publishers the platform isn't already dead.

It is but that's about where I pegged my Cost to Value for the Vita being. Unless it suddenly comes out with a stellar lineup for 4 year olds.

Post by: NWR_insanolord on November 09, 2012, 03:52:30 PM: I could see a bundle for $200 with a memory card, though it wouldn't be a big one. I suppose it might include a game, but I can't see it being a great one.

Fairly sure its Sony's. I want a Wonderbook and I didn't know it was coming out next week and I'm on a podcast with some informed people.

Sounds like either the game was sold out and so people bought it the only way they could or this was the game that most gamers in Japan waited for to make their first digital purchase.
Title: Re: Official Wii Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on November 13, 2012, 07:24:13 PM: I've seen a few people outside of Japan say they usually want to buy games physically but that Animal Crossing is a special case and they want it digitally. It's a game designed to be played every day for 15-30 minutes, which makes it just about the perfect case for buying a game digitally.

I've also heard a good chunk of the store sales were digital download cards where it had a code that you put into the eshop and get the game digitally but bought at the store.

I suspect the digital number is higher, since that's just the figure for the cards.

Of course, I don't think it's much higher...

Hah. But seriously, I really want to play Halo 4. I've enjoyed the last several games a bit (especially local LAN multi with my friends), and knowing this game has several ex-Retro/Metroid Prime guys working on it, makes it all the more enticing for me.

Excellent numbers for AC, too. Hope it breaks a million in the next week or so through retail and digital.

Post by: Mop it up on November 19, 2012, 07:35:02 PM: We've talked about more than just Wii sales in this thread though, we've also talked about 3DS and Vita and such.

My vote is to just renamed this the Official Sales Thread and have it cover sales of any kind on any platform.

XSEED Games Releases New Standalone Version of The Last Story to replace the sold-out Premium Launch Edition.
Highly Acclaimed Action RPG Title from Legendary Game Creator Hironobu Sakaguchi Most Successful Title in Publisher’s History.

“The Last Story has been an amazing title for XSEED Games and it has become our most successful title to date,” said Ken Berry, Executive Vice President at XSEED Games. “This is a must have title for RPG fans, and we’re looking forward to more players discovering the magic that lies in Lazulis Island.”

Looks like The Last Story sold quite well! That's good to hear.

Post by: Shaymin on November 20, 2012, 07:44:38 PM: If Last Story set the record at 50k (confirmed from NPD leaks on the NeoGAF), that says a lot about XSeed's localization choices.

It's just a shame that Retro Game Challenge or Legend of Heroes couldn't hit the 50k mark before, but whaddya do.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf stays at the top with 290k. Counting digital sales, that should put the game over a million copies sold. Assassin's Creed 3: Lady Liberty is at the 6th spot, but that doesn't help the Vita from being eclipsed by the 3DSXL in lifetime sales.

Not much Sony can really do now. They don't have any first or second party series that a Vita version could be a killer app in Japan. They can't afford to lower the price or add PSP backward compatibility since those decisions are too expensive. And Nintendo has already locked up the biggest third party series like Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest.

All of the Vita's problems needed to be figured out before Sony even launched the system. The 3DS had problems in it's early months but Nintendo at least had backup plans like the ability to drop the price and had major games like Mario Kart 7 and Mario 3D Land in development. Sony pretty much just shipped it out and never bothered to create a Plan B just incase.

Nintendo was making a profit off each 3DS sold versus Sony who's said to be just breaking even on the Vita. That gave Nintendo a little more room to bite the bullet. Iwata even said awhile ago in one of those investors meetings that because of all the money they made off the DS and Wii, it'd allow them to make more expensive decisions reguarding the 3DS and Wii U.

Sony on the other hand is still losing billions each year because the overall company is a total mess making it much harder for the company to do a huge price cut like Nintendo could.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on November 21, 2012, 10:10:20 PM: But to have any hope of ever turning a profit on the system it needs to gain enough of a user base for publishers to consider it a viable platform. They can either cut the price or give up on it completely.

at this rate, 3DS will outsell PS3 before the first full week of December is over.

That's why I honestly expect Sony to give up on the system next year. If they feel cutting the price would cost them too much to do, combined with the fact they have literally no major third party support with a userbase that won't even be at 5 million by Spring 2013, I don't see any reason for Sony to even try to keep it alive.

I predict Sony will cut all internal support and try to focus all their remaining resources on the PS4. The system will probably still get some third party niche games in Japan after and limp around in that market for another few years but it'll probably be non-existent in the West by early 2014.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on November 24, 2012, 04:47:10 AM: Well from what I hear, Sony still makes a good bit of money from the PSP which can supplement the Vita a little bit. I still think they will stick with it for the long haul. Sony has always been stubborn with keeping with their products. They do need to show it a bit more love though. A price drop would probably get me to bite. I already have an instant game collection with PS Plus so I'm good to go there and I'm willing to pick up a lot of PSP games for it when I get it.

I think they could have dropped it to $200 and it still would have had a slight profit margin. But I guess they found it more beneficial in the long run to drop it as drastically as they had.

they would have been fine if they had just introduced it at the expected price of $199.99.
That would have been a little higher than some wanted to pay and right where the rest of us expected it to be.

They overshot @ $250 and Sony was silly to replace the product in that price point, even if they feel the Vita was worth the price.

Post by: TJ Spyke on November 26, 2012, 03:19:56 PM: Wii U sold 400K in its first week, Wii sold 300K that week, 3DS sold 250K, DS sold 275K (Reggie said DS sold higher due to all the sales from retailers). Reggie also said the 3DS has sold 6 million in the US, 1 million more than the DS at this same point in its lifespan. Reggie also said they would have sold more Wii U's if they were able to re-stock it faster.

If you figure more than half the systems were the Black and Nintendoland came predundled, plus a percentage of those are being held for Christmas or reselling, Then what, only 25-30% of new Wii U owners are taking their systems online? Sheesh!

That's pretty low for Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, no?

Not at all. I believe the two DS ones had a similar first week combined and ended up selling over 1 million combined. They tend to have very long legs.

My understanding though is that the first two DS games were simply remakes of the GBA games. Is that incorrect?

Quote
Separately, Nintendo announced sales for its own hardware and software. The company has now sold 425,000 Wii U units in the US (up from 400,000), falling short of the original Wii's first-week total of 475,000. New Super Mario Bros. U sold in excess of 243,000 units during the month, and was attached at nearly 60 percent of all Wii U sales.

The Nintendo 3DS sold nearly 540,000 units during the month, bringing its total to close to 6.5 million units life-to-date in the US. Mario Kart 7 also reached a milestone during November, becoming the second 3DS game to cross 2 million units sold in the US.

As for the aging original Wii, that system sold 420,000 units during the month, bringing its total US sales figure to over 40 million. The original Nintendo DS sold 370,000 systems in November, with Nintendo expecting the hardware line to cross 53 million life-to-date unit sales in the "next few days."

Post by: Luigi Dude on December 07, 2012, 04:26:00 AM: So the guy at Neo Gaf with NPD numbers said these are the Wii U's top 15 sellers. Yeah I shamlessly copied and pasted what he said but it's easy to tell what each is.

1. Mario
1. ZombiU
3. Scribblenaus
4. cod
5. jd4
6. nland
7. mickey
8. batman
9. sonic
10. skylanders
11. ac3
12. sing
13. nfl13
14. espn
15. ng3

One thing to remember is the NPD didn't count the Nintendo Land sales with the Deluxe models so only the standalone version is Number 6. The same guy says the Deluxe model made up 75% of Wii U sales. So if you combine the Deluxe models with the standalone sales, Nintendo Land would technically be the overall best selling game.

Probably because the Wii U version of Assassin's Creed is the exact same as the PS3/360 version while Arkham City has some new content. Plus Batman is more family friendly then Assassin's Creed so that would make it more appealing to the family audience that generally makes up more of Nintendo's userbase.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: noname2200 on December 07, 2012, 05:32:06 PM: I suppose. But Assassin's Creed III is a new title, while Arkham City is a port of a one-year old game, albeit with a bit of additional content.

While I understand your underlying point, I'd be concerned if the lower prices on rival systems really stole significant sales from the Wii U. That would imply, in my opinion, that the public generally sees the Wii U as being akin to the six and seven year old systems, or at the least that it's an unnecessary upgrade over those systems.

In Novembers? In 2006 it sold 916k, which (if it's a four-week month) averages out to slightly over 200k per the NPD. In 2007 that number improved to 1.53 million, held about steady in 2008, and increased yet again in 2009 to 1.7 million. That proved to be the high water mark, as it went down to 1.5 million in 2010, and then crashed last year.

Basically, the 3DS' performance, while not terrible, isn't great either.

No, for two reasons. First, the PS3's actual costs ($599/$499) were simply too high in absolute terms. Second, the 360's tech leap was about as high, and that system was a mere year old.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on December 10, 2012, 06:39:14 PM: Though the PS3 sticker price may be high, I still think people saw a huge value difference between $300 with no games or $350 with one game versus $200 with five games or $200 with Kinect and however many games. There are certainly many reasons the Wii U isn't a sell-out, including how its merits aren't as easily apparent as the Wii was, but price was definitely a large factor. The price difference won't be that great after the holidays, so I don't think it's anything to worry about.

Once more positive word of mouth gets out, I think it'll continue to drive Wii U sales as people realise what it has to offer.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: noname2200 on December 10, 2012, 06:49:03 PM: I'm not sure that you're wrong about that. What I'm saying though is that, if that is correct, then the Wii U might have a long-term perception problem. Paying more for a "better product" is a pretty natural course of action. If people think paying the extra bucks is an issue, then might that not imply that they see the Wii U as being roughly on-par with the 360/PS3?

I'm not expressing myself very clearly here, but couldn't it be that for someone to prefer to pay $250 for an old system with five games instead of $350 for a new system and one game is that they may see the two systems as being roughly equivalent, so that the "cheaper and with more games" part trumps the "newer and with the promise of better future games"?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on December 10, 2012, 07:07:15 PM: I do recognise it's a possibility yes, I don't think it's what's happening but it's too early to tell exactly what the reasons are.

For your first point, the Wii sold better than the PS360 even though it wasn't as good from a tech standpoint. That's one reason why I think lower prices attract more buyers than higher prices, and tech doesn't matter much. It also brings me to your second point.

In this economy, I think there are less people who buy things based on potential. There are still some early adapters who buy things up because they are new and could be something great in the future, I think these are the people who are buying Wii U right now. But the Wii U doesn't have a killer app. It has nothing like Wii Sports or Super Mario Bros or Final Fantasy VII, a game that makes everyone rush out and buy the system now and willing to pay the price. Its biggest launch title is New Super Mario Bros U, a game which doesn't really use the Gamepad creatively, and the novelty of 2D Mario has worn off after four games, one being released a few months prior. Nintendo Land may be great, but I don't think it's as easily understood as Wii Sports.

I've always believed that games sell systems regardless of price (unless it's something outrageous like $600), and so I think Wii U will have no trouble selling once the big games hit. This is simply my view on things, there are a lot of variables to consider and so I know there are a lot of possibilities.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on December 10, 2012, 07:35:46 PM: The Wii U's launch sales in North America while less then the Wii's, were still higher then the 360/PS3 launch sales were.

So it's kind of pointless to compare the Wii U's launch sales to what the other systems are currently doing when console launches are always a different beast. The 360 at launch was still outsold by the PS2 in 2005, and yet a year later the 360 easily outsold the PS2's successor the PS3 in holiday 2006.

Right now the Wii U is doing good for a launch console and that's all we can really talk about.

Actually the 3DS version has online as well. One of the selling points has even been that the Wii U players can play online with 3DS players so there's no split in the online fanbase. The Wii U version is the exact same game as the 3DS version except it's been upscaled for HD on the Wii U. So that shows just how strong the Monster Hunter series currently is in Japan when an upscaled port of a year old game can easily sell over 100k at the launch of a new system.

The 3DS version never had and will never get online. You can link up your 3DS game with your Wii U game, but the 3DS doesn't have online play.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on December 11, 2012, 05:39:58 PM: Yeah, Noname2200 is correct, the 3DS version has no online. You can play local multiplayer with 3DS and Wii U, but not online multiplayer. You can also transfer your character back and forth between the two games. I also thought that they redid the graphics in the Wii U game so that it looked better than just being upscaled, but I'm not sure on that.

So yes, to answer Noname2200's original question, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is the Wii U version of Monster Hunter 3G on 3DS with added online.

Sega's popular Yakuza series takes the #1 slot this week with Yakuza 5. Paper Mario Sticker Star sells 129k in its first week while Zombie U sells 13k.

EDIT: As predicted last week, the lifetime sales of the 3DS have surpassed that of the PS3.

Anyone think the Wii U has a chance at outselling the Vita's LTD sales before the end of the year?

Depends on how many Wii U's Nintendo has shipped to Japan and how high the demand stays. If they've shipped over a million systems and it sells over 300k each week until the end of the year it might.

I get the feeling it won't do it by the end of this year but will probably surpass it by at least February. Mario, Monster Hunter and Nintendo Land should give it some good legs for the next few months over there.

Post by: Luigi Dude on December 19, 2012, 07:55:48 PM: The Vita is a disaster that's beyond saving at this point. To do this badly during the holiday shopping season in the one territory the PSP was actually strong in shows how incompetent Sony has been with this device. I don't expect the system to last past 2013 the way things are currently going.

Post by: Shaymin on December 19, 2012, 08:01:57 PM: They got a four month stay of execution with the MonHun4 delay. They better not blow it.

In all seriousness, you know how everyone¹ says the Vita has no games when it's clearly not true? Well, in Japan, what's the major Vita exclusive for Japan? And I mean actual exclusive, not PSP/Vita or PS3/Vita.

Given that, is anyone shocked that the Vita's doing bad in Japan?

^{1. In this case, "everyone" = "the media"}

Wii U has a steady third week. Animal Crossing reigns supreme with upticks from Paper Mario and New Super Mario Bros. 2. Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate drops out of the top 20.

Post by: Mop it up on December 26, 2012, 06:10:56 PM: Wow, I wouldn't have expected Animal Crossing New Leaf to become the best-selling 3DS game in Japan. And this doesn't include digital sales, right?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on December 26, 2012, 06:23:19 PM: It does not include digital sales directly from the eshop. I believe it does include sales of the cardboard copies with codes on them from the stores though (basically the ones that people walk it and buy a code instead of a game cartridge and then download the game after putting the code into their 3DS).

Wow, if the 3DSLL has anywhere close to the same week next week, it will actually double the LTD sales of the PSV. That's just nuts.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on December 26, 2012, 07:18:07 PM: If the 3DS does as good next week, it will be close to outselling the the PS3 & Vita combined.

3DS is riding on last minute shoppers and day after Xmas exchanges/purchases right now.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on December 26, 2012, 08:09:16 PM: If reading about Japan has taught me anything, it's that Christmas in Japan is basically Valentine's Day + fried chicken and the big giving day is actually New Year's Day.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on December 26, 2012, 08:32:44 PM: So Last minute shoppers haven't even been included yet...

Well then, things are looking up towards the possibility of 3DS eclipsing PS3+Vita LTD sales in Japan before the year is over.

PS Vita somehow sees a 50% increase in hardware despite no new games, no new colors, and no games in the top 20. Nintendo hardware dominates software sales with 17 of the top 20 games being on Nintendo systems. Animal Crossing continues to dominate in Japan and hits the 2 million mark, and Mario Kart 7 is quickly closing in on 2 million copies sold. 3DS also breaks the 10 million mark.

Well...
http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-disney-infinity-20130115,0,3494101.story (http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-disney-infinity-20130115,0,3494101.story)

Quote
The company’s only major console franchise in recent years has been "Epic Mickey," a re-imagining of the classic character from the respected video game creator Warren Spector.

Although the 2010 game was a modest success, selling 1.3 million units in the U.S. from its November launch through the end of that year, 2012’s sequel sold only 270,000 copies during the comparable time period, according to a person with access to sales data from research firm NPD Group who was not authorized to share it publicly.

That's under 1/4 the sales, spread among at least four platforms (Wii, WiiU, 360, PS3) and with a team of about 700. For reference, Modern Warfare 3 had 200, and Resident Evil 6 had upwards of 600 people on it.

So much for Ducktales. :(

Edit: Corrected the Modern Warfare game

I think the greater issue is that the game just plain sucked, and no amount of people added to the project was going to fix that when the game wasn't appreciably improved from its predecessor.

The Wii got exclusives because it was almost impossible to port games from the other consoles to it. Sony and Microsoft don't get exclusives unless they're first party or moneyhats, and in both cases it's pretty self-explanatory why Nintendo doesn't get the sequels.

It might just be that we read it quite differently, but that doesn't really rebut ShyGuy's point: if anything, it seems to support it. The expense and hassle of porting a Wii game to the HD systems was too much to bother with for most successful 360/PS3 games, but the reverse was apparently untrue.

Admittedly, this "analysis" hinges on my reading "Microsoft/Sony exclusive" as meaning "not-on-Wii game." I could well be wrong there, and appeal to the source for a definitive ruling!
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on January 16, 2013, 08:34:28 PM: I wasn't arguing against him as much as explaining why that was the case. If he was using the term in that context, my first sentence still stands. The Wii would have gotten most of those games if it had been economically viable to port them to it. The Wii got exclusives instead of ports because it didn't really take anymore work than porting would, and they were more likely to sell than watered down versions of what you could get elsewhere. Ports went the other way because it was exponentially easier to do.

Wii had a great audience for these types of games but publishers only seemed to notice the audience the wii didn't have outside of a choice few. They blew more money and time moving them to hd while simultaneously destroying their Wii hype and unique Wii features.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on January 18, 2013, 03:46:39 PM: It's a lot easier to port up than to port down. It's a lot easier to make something run on hardware with more power and resources than it was designed for than to adapt it to working with less. In addition to that, there are certain technical things like the Wii just couldn't do, and had to be worked around.

This is why I'm more confident in support for the Wii U than I was for the Wii. The Wii U is built with standards in mind, as opposed to the proprietary graphics tech the Wii used. Also, stuff like game engines are a lot more scalable now than they were in the past, largely due to the rise of mobile devices. Even if Orbis and Durango are as much more powerful than the Wii U than PS3 and 360 were over the Wii (which I don't think they will be), it should be a lot easier to port things down to the Wii U because of the much more developer-friendly way Nintendo designed it.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on January 19, 2013, 02:37:48 PM: Its funny/annoying to see all anti-Nintendo trolls on NeoGAF/GameFAQs (which are equally bad) claiming that Nintendo is doomed, ignoring the fact that ALL systems saw sharp drops.

"But, but, i was told iOS is the future and eShop sucks!"

Also, nice about Android sales despite the pervasive belief that "the majority of Android users are dirty pirates" among developers.

The Top 30 (32 if you count Pokemon and Inazuma Eleven as separate) selling games of 2012 in Japan:
Entire top 100 was already available two weeks ago (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=508592). Why is this cropped to 30 list making rounds as "news" full two weeks after? I saw it on a lot of sites recently.

Pokemon Black and White 2: 7.63 million

Wii U software tie rate is better than i thought. I am one of the people who bought four retail games for my Wii U. Glad i am not the only one.

I wish I paid more attention to my economics class, but it seems that the company did okay in these reported 9 months?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on January 30, 2013, 05:57:47 AM: The 3DS is now around 30 million units. So by its 2 year anniversary, it'll be close to surpassing the N64's lifetime total of 33 million. Shows that Nintendo is still a powerhouse in the handheld market and that the people saying Nintendo lost the handheld audience to smartphones really don't know what the **** they're talking about.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: azeke on January 30, 2013, 06:04:11 AM: Looking at these 3DS numbers, it really is amazing how Nintendo manages to turn things around again and again and again.

And each time analysts who got TOLD keep saying that it's "just a fluke", it was "lightning in a bottle", "Nintendo is it's own unpredictable market", "you can't analyze Nintendo".

Then what good you're for if you outrightly refuse to include the biggest agent into your equation only because it doesn't fit.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on January 30, 2013, 06:39:39 AM: Yeah, they never seem to realize that people buy Nintendo consoles for actual Nintendo games that can't be bought else where. It doesn't matter how popular Angry Birds might be on smartphones, if people want to play the newest Mario game, they'll have to buy a 3DS.

Doesn't exactly require rocket science to figure out.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: shingi_70 on January 30, 2013, 08:46:22 AM: But 30 million units sold could be 60 million units. Its selling good but it still probably isn't at Nintendo's expectations in the west either if they still had to cut its forecast.

Its the same with the Wii U. Though will the lack of hype nearing launch and somewhat lousey software line up anyone could have told them the chances of them hitting the 5.5 million sold by march was slim.

Post by: Ceric on January 30, 2013, 09:55:31 AM: So the Wii U has a 2.4 attach rate of games that aren't NSMBU and Nintendoland AKA first party. That's actually pretty impressive.

Quote from: shingi_70 on January 30, 2013, 08:46:22 AM
But 30 million units sold could be 60 million units. Its selling good but it still probably isn't at Nintendo's expectations in the west either if they still had to cut its forecast.

Its the same with the Wii U. Though will the lack of hype nearing launch and somewhat lousey software line up anyone could have told them the chances of them hitting the 5.5 million sold by march was slim.

Still all things considered really good. Wonder how the investors and thew market will react.
I have to counter that because if memory serves in this point of the DS lifetime it has not sold 30 million.

On the WiiU the 5.5 Million goal is Nintendos fault. eShop should have seen regular releases and we should have had at least a couple good games a month in "Launch Window."

Post by: Louieturkey on January 30, 2013, 03:05:21 PM: I agree that Nintendo should have had more "big" games during the launch window (or at least spread out). I really think they should have fought harder for ports of the games that are coming in February and March on the PS360. I don't know if it would have done anything for their bottom line, but they would not have had to apologize about the lack of games right now.

True, at least have some type of parity with the other platforms. I mean Konami is a company based in Japan, and Platnium Games also where Nintendo has a strong presence in the market, and still Nintendo could not manage to bring MGSR to Wii U, slacking.

Post by: Louieturkey on January 31, 2013, 12:57:01 PM: So it seems the original reports for sales for Epic Mickey 2 were wrong. It sounds like they were at 520,000 sold in 2012. That is still not good, but much better than the original 270,000 that was reported.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Caterkiller on January 31, 2013, 02:33:37 PM: So obviously sales won't pick up until bigger high profile games like Pikmin and Yoshi come out. Beyond that though, what kind of game is going to be the runaway hit that really helps carry the Wii U? Or will Nintendo come up with one of those at all?

Last gen it was Brain Age, and Nintendogs for the DS. Wii sports, and Wii fit for the Wii.

My guess is a Skylanders type game with figures, most likely a version of Pokemon or even Smash Bros. For that quick casual boom a title like the non-traditional games listed above are going to be what's needed, cause if Nintendogs is any indication the sequels will be ignored big time.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on January 31, 2013, 03:14:06 PM: My guess is we don't know what that game is yet. My guess is it will be something we've never thought about before but will become something we can't believe we never had before it.

Post by: Enner on January 31, 2013, 03:57:46 PM: Not exactly fresh but here's more of the 3rd quarter fiscal report.

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/130131summary/index.html

This is an outline of the report with revised forecasts. Nintendo expects an operating loss which is sad news. They are able to forecast a net income due in part to foreign currency exchanges.

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/130131/index.html

Here's Iwata's presentation. A lot of the interesting bits have been chopped up and put in to little news bites all over the 'net, but I think it's still worthwhile to read the whole thing if you have the time. Of particular interests are the hardware market share graphs. I was aware of Europe treating the Playstation favorably but never had any idea of the percentage.

Post by: Louieturkey on January 31, 2013, 06:08:55 PM: That was an awesome read. I am really interested in what they will be showing at GDC this year. I'm wondering what types of apps they will be adding to the Wii U from that.

Also if i'm reading it right, Vita version outsold it.

I think you read it wrong. It looks like it states that on Wii U, they released 2 titles that totaled sales of 260,000. On the Vita, they released 7 titles that totaled 390,000. I don't see where they break down the individual SKUs.

Nope, statistically impossible since the Wii U version accounted for 27% of the games total sales, so it would mathematically be impossible for 3 other versions to have sold more than it (since that would add up to at least 108.3%).

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: smallsharkbigbite on February 15, 2013, 12:46:15 AM: I think the Wii U really needs the PS4 and Xbox 360 to come out this year. They will struggle like the Wii U with rumored $400 prices and development time of learning a new system leading to a lack of games.

Wii U struggling now isn't that big of a deal since it's the only next gen player, but it needs to get some great games and momentum before the PS4 and Xbox 360 come out. It may be a good time to price drop then as well to really get some strong momentum while the PS4 and Xbox 360 are struggling.

If PS4 and Xbox 360 delay to fall 2014, then Nintendo may be screwed. Wii U can't compete even with a 10 million user base against the user bases of the PS3/Xbox 360. Of course those systems are going to sell more multiplat titles. They can port easily between the two and they both cost less than the Wii U. Wii U would flounder for 2 years and not be on the radar for the "next gen" battle. That's the risk of releasing first.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on February 15, 2013, 12:58:38 AM: The Wii U is the 3DS all over again. Both systems were $100 more expensive then their predecessors at launch and have a lack of exclusive games to play. Yeah the Basic model is only $50 more, but it lacks a game. All Wii's at launch at $250 had a game packed in, so the average consumer the Deluxe is the real successor. No surprise the Wii U is now preforming similar to how the 3DS was in it's early months as well. The fact that the Wii is outselling the Wii U, like the DS was outselling the 3DS pretty much proves that.

Of course the biggest problem is the Wii U is already losing money on the hardware, unlike the 3DS which was profiting off its launch price. I'd imagine they'll be able to drop the price before the end of the year, probably to go along with Mario Kart U to give the system a big holiday boast, but for now it's not happening. These next several months are going to be pretty rough for Wii U hardware. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo is delaying Pikmin 3 so they can release it right when they're finally able to cut the Wii U's price, because even they know the price is hurting them at this point.

Of course I love how delusional the Sony fanoys on Neo GAF are, thinking the PS4 is going to dominate now. If a $350 Wii U with a 2D Mario isn't doing well in sales, I don't see how a PS4 that's at least $400 with Killzone 4 as its rumored flagship title is going to do much better. It really is the 3DS all over again since a lot of these same Sony fanboys thought since the 3DS was doing terrible, the Vita was guaranteed to dominate. Wouldn't be surprised if history repeats itself again.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Enner on February 15, 2013, 04:27:44 AM: Those are extremely low numbers, no doubt. From Gamasutra (http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/186734/January_sales_show_continued_rough_tides_for_the_Wii_U.php?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+GamasutraNews+%28Gamasutra+News%29#.UR36MKWsiSo), the January sales for the Wii U are lower than the worse months of the three other home consoles.

A desperate Nintendo is an interesting Nintendo and (eventually) a good thing for fans. I doubt we'll see a Wii U price cut and ambassador program if only for the fact that Nintendo can't afford it. I can only assume that the panic klaxons are blaring at Nintendo. The only reasonable action I can see Nintendo taking is to take this bad news in stride, wait for great games to be finished, rethink their marketing, and concentrate on promoting all interesting, upcoming Wii U retail and eShop titles to current Wii U owners. The recent Nintendo Direct is a little step in the right direction.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on February 15, 2013, 06:19:08 AM: Actually one thing Nintendo could do to boast hardware without dropping the price right now is to make NSMB U the bundled game in the Deluxe models. As the sales show, NSMB U is the game most people are buying the system for, so making it the bundled game would technically be a price drop to some people because they can buy the Deluxe model for $350 to get the one game they really want and not have to spend an extra $60 anymore for.

As last gen showed us, most people don't want to spend over $400 on a new system. The 360/PS3 didn't get a boast until after both dropped below the $400 range. While right now, the Wii U is a $400 system to most people because they only want the Deluxe model since the Basic is gimped, and the game NSMB U. Making the Deluxe model come with NSMB U would make the system below $400, and and a more appealing purchase again.

Of course bundling NSMB U would cause them to loss the extra money they currently make off it so I'd imagine they're against it. But if they want to increase the Wii U's userbase so other games have a better change of selling without dropping the systems price, bundling NSMB U with the Deluxe model is the only option they really have.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: regin on February 15, 2013, 07:12:54 AM: They have no games coming out and they can't really drop the price. The only thing they can do right now is to give away free download codes for NSMBU if you buy it before Lego City. After that, if they know for sure they can keep up with game releases, they need to start the marketing machine for real.

I see a NSMBU bundle for $389.99 but like the Zombi U bundle come with Nintendo Land still AND come with a Wiimote Plus and Nunchuk Black. Even w/out the controller its still a deal for the deluxe and with the controller its effectively cheaper then the Basic if you need all the parts.

Post by: Ian Sane on February 15, 2013, 05:02:24 PM: Do those weak Wii U sales seem at all unjustified or unfair? What has the Wii U really done to deserve better? No games are currently coming out for it, the touchscreen was never ever going to be the dream concept that motion control was and the marketing was been pretty much non-existent.

I want Nintendo to do as well as they deserve. Obviously it sucks if they put out a great product that doesn't sell and finding a lot of success with an inferior product will just encourage bad behaviour. The Wii U seems to be doing about as well as it deserves. Hopefully that will inspire them to do better.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Enner on February 15, 2013, 06:36:15 PM: Wired's Chris Kohler has an excellent and thoughtful podcast on the Wii U numbers:

http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2013/02/gamelife-podcast-episode-61/

It's a solo effort that lasts for about 23 minutes.

The statements he makes are ones I agree with.
These are very poor numbers. We have seen three systems come out over the past two years (3DS, Vita, Wii U) that have had/are having bad starts. It is uncertain that the next Playstation and next Xbox will perform the same or different. The Wii U needs a Wii Sports/Wii Fit-like piece of software to turn things around. Nintendo has a lot of cash in reserve to play around with. Panic mode Nintendo is the best Nintendo.

One interesting, if gloomy, thought Kohler makes is that Nintendo might have to "Gamecube" the Wii U. Nintendo resigns itself to selling far less systems, expects third-party support to be increasingly poor, makes partnerships (with Japanese companies and indie developers) to insure some interesting games come out, and save resources for the next system(s).

This.
People are quick to bury Wii U and publishers are running away from it, but... to where? Why do they think Sony's and MS horses will fare better, while from our side it looks they're trying their damnedest to destroy their own market?
I am kinda idealist and believe not all of them are dumbasses and there is some rational reason behind it. What do they know we don't?

They're comparing Wii U sales to Wii and it doesn't compare. Well duh.
They're comparing Wii U sales to Xbox and it does't compare too. Well, duh again.
Why do they think PS4/new Xbox will do even that? Main buying public will stay on their ps3/360s for at least 1 or 2 years and that where the bulk of sales will go.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on February 16, 2013, 01:32:41 AM: I think Nintendo's poised for a big Q4. You'll have the second generation of Wii U games, likely with appearances by their top two development teams in Retro and EAD Tokyo, as well as at least some third party games which will probably be the best versions of those games. The system will have likely seen a price drop at that point, going up against systems with weaker lineups that are >$100 more expensive.

Of course you have to get through Q1, 2 and 3 to get to Q4, and it doesn't look like those ones are going to be that fun.

Yeah, it's going to be a lot like the original DS back in 2005. Had basically nothing for software until Kirby and Meteos hit in June, but both games didn't do much to help hardware. It wasn't until Nintendogs in August that sales finally picked up, and then Mario Kart and Animal Crossing: Wild World gave it huge sales during the holiday. Until Nintendogs hit though, the DS had numbers similar to the Wii U in the 50k range each month for most of 2005.

And yet in the end the DS would become Nintendo's most successful system of all time. Hopefully more people will realize this when the Wii U numbers are terrible for the next several months. Being bad now doesn't mean the sky is falling since the DS showed Nintendo can still turn things around.

Nintendo actually has major franchises that are coming to the Wii U in the future that have a history of increasing hardware sales. The Vita on the other hand has nothing at all, outside of a few niche Japanese games.

It pisses me off, as I own a Vita, and it's a really good little system that Sony doesn't seem to care about at all.

Post by: Louieturkey on February 19, 2013, 12:51:36 PM: I read an article on comingsoon.net about the Playstation event tomorrow and nearly every comment in the comment section is hoping it is not a PS4 announcement. They want it to come in 2014 or even 2015. I think that is the casual and general public's mindset on the new systems right now. They don't want new systems. They just discovered the 360 and PS3 since they had been on Wii until 2010. I have a feeling both new systems (PS4 & Durango) will be slow burn. They may sell initially just like the Wii U did, but until it comes down in price to the $300 or less range, they will only get the gaming die hards and Sony and Microsoft fanboys to jump onto the new ships.

Nothing out of the ordinary from last week. The new release is The Pet Girl of Sakura-sou, an adventure game based on a light novel and animated series for the Playstation Vita and Playstation Portable.

Post by: Louieturkey on February 20, 2013, 03:23:03 PM: Interesting that the PSP outsold the PSV this week and yet the PSV version of Sakura-sou did better. I guess Vita owners really are just starved for anything.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: noname2200 on February 20, 2013, 04:19:13 PM: The announcement of the upcoming price drop may also help explain the difference, although I think similar situations have occurred in the past. Also, next week (this week) is going to be brutal for the poor Vita...

They want it to come in 2014 or even 2015. I think that is the casual and general public's mindset on the new systems right now. They don't want new systems. They just discovered the 360 and PS3 since they had been on Wii until 2010.

Up until this gen, the game systems had always hit the $99 price point. Obvioulsy, more people will jump on with a lower price point. I think the Xbox 1 only hit $150 but that was essentially killed off becuase of the Microsoft lawsuit. Then this gen comes around and xbox 360 and PS3 have only officially hit $200. I know specific sales they've been cheaper, but it hasn't been MSRP below that. I think that holds alot of would be buyers out.

I really wish that Nintendo would have brought out a couple of AAA games in the first 6 months to get people excited about the system. But at one point their was a rumor the PS4 would be $300. Alot of people were waiting for the PS4 and Xbox 720 announcements before buying a Wii U. If the new rumor is true (don't know if they've confirmed it yet) that the "best" PS4 will be $529, I can't see it selling well initially. Game consoles are a luxury device. That's a lot of dough to drop especially with the economy still faltering.

Post by: Sarail on February 20, 2013, 08:41:33 PM: Totally $450 to $550. There's no way it's cheaper than that price.

The rumor/leak is two SKUs, $429/$529.

Post by: Sarail on February 20, 2013, 09:39:59 PM: Well, then I'm really close. And sheesh. I think I'll be ok with just my Wii U.

The new inFAMOUS game is the only thing that really caught my eye, as I really enjoyed the first game. But I can live without it. No big deal.

Especially with there being no physical BC on the system. So whatever games come out initially are all that will work on the system unless PS Cloud is available immediately upon launch and even then, most people are still scared of cloud gaming.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: TJ Spyke on February 21, 2013, 03:25:51 PM: Cloud gaming is good when it's OPTIONAL, but it's terrible when it's required. Whether it's low Internet speeds in some areas, the risk of the Internet being down in your house (or the service being down), and what will happen when they shut down the service. Cloud only should not, and hopefully never will be, the only option. Sony is basically spitting in our faces by making BC only work through cloud service.

It might sell if Sony adopts the Microsoft rumoured cell-phone-plan model. Small or no upfront cost and monthly subscription fee to both use an online service and to subsidize the cost of the hardware.

How do you figure this? Why is BC so important that if it's not there, it means that we're being spit upon? There was never a notice by Sony stating that BC would definitely be in the PS4 nor is there some obligation by hardware companies to include it. If you want to play the old system games, buy a PS3 or PS2 or both. Both play PS1 games and you can get a PS2 used for $40 and new for under $100 right now.

Raiden is back as Lightning Bolt Action tops the charts. Two new licensed games make it in to the top 10. The sales of the Wii U dip below 10k.

Post by: Caterkiller on February 27, 2013, 03:46:48 PM: Man Wii U is stinking up the joint. I wonder how different sales would have been if W101, Game and Wario, and Rayman filled in Jan, Feb, and March? Either way I suppose Nintendo expected 3rd parties to fill in the gaps. Hopefully this is the last major droubt ever for Wii U. Super not likely but I hope so.

I'm glad they release games when they are ready but sometimes I really wonder about their release schedule.

It will be interesting to see when the first worthwhile new game hits the system.

Edit: Stupid IPad with autocorrect and non-stylus controls, so inconvenient.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Enner on March 01, 2013, 03:41:31 PM: A theory behind January's weak Wii U sales
Quote from: http://gamasutra.com/view/news/187605/A_theory_behind_Januarys_weak_Wii_U_sales.php#.UTERNjCSmS0
...
Almost as soon as Gamasutra published my column on January U.S. retail sales for Nintendo's Wii U, I got two messages from two different sources inside the industry both saying the same unbelievable thing: The Wii U probably sold significantly more than the 57,000 units reported by the NPD Group. How much more? The figure I was hearing was that the total number sold to consumers could go over 100,000 units, nearly twice the original figure.

But it isn't so much that the NPD Group estimate was an error, I was told, but rather it didn't show the full picture.

The figure reported by the NPD Group, the sources' story went on, included perhaps 100,000 units sold to consumers -- and 40,000 or more units returned to stores. The net, then, would yield the 57,000 units reported by the NPD Group.

And the explanation for those tens of thousands of returns? The collapse of the secondary market, those resellers who had purchased Wii U systems in November and December 2012 hoping that popularity and a shortage of systems would yield a tidy profit through Christmas and into the new year. However, profiteers advertising Wii U systems on sites like Amazon, eBay and Craigslist saw their margins disappear and then chose to return their systems to retailers while their original receipts still permitted them to.

So in the end, there probably still were a minimum of 57,000 units that ended up in consumers' homes in the U.S. this January. But it's nonetheless interesting to examine how these prospectors may affect the retail environment.
...
If the speculative reseller return theory is wrong, however, and 57,000 is really reflective of the total number of new systems sold in January (a five-week retail month), then we could see a mere 46,000 units in February (a four-week retail month), if average weekly January sales are repeated in February.

The NPD Group will report those February estimates in under two weeks. I'll be back then, and we can revisit this question.

That the returns of speculators can affect the numbers so much is absurd to me. The truth shall be revealed in two weeks.

Post by: SixthAngel on March 01, 2013, 07:31:10 PM: After getting the Wii and seeing and following the sales just to watch every 3rd party miss the boat I don't really give **** about sales anymore. Sales don't tell me jack about what's coming in the future. However, this is a Nintendo console so I don't have to worry,I know that there will always be games I like on it.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on March 01, 2013, 09:32:19 PM: Now, if that means that it took 40-50k WiiUs out of the hands of speculators (who wouldn't buy games) and into the hands of people who would buy games, this is good. Sure, the sales are still bad (it basically means they sold 410k WiiUs in December and 100k in January), but that's PS3 launch bad and not historically bad. And an increased attach rate means that developers may be willing to take a few more risks on the WiiU than would be normal (especially by putting games on the eShop and lowering the risk of resale).

Of course, that assumes that only 4k spinners returned 10 WiiUs each. If it's 40-50k people returning WiiUs that were bought for Christmas, people don't see the value in a WiiU. That's a MASSIVE problem for Nintendo, that's going to require heads to roll at NOA.

Post by: Kytim89 on March 01, 2013, 11:03:23 PM: A lot of people are selling the Wii U Gamepad by itself on eBay for any where between $150.00 to $200.00 and just setting the actual console to the side for a cheaper price. The more units that are sold then the more single Gampads there will be on the market. One might wonder why you would want a second Game when there is no use for it at the moment, but it is good to have one in case the first one breaks.

The Playstation Vita gets a sales week of good news. The ~5000 yen price cut has boosted Vita sales to 62k, and two high profile releases - the lewd and ludicrous Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus: Otome Shoujotachi no Shoumei and the PC-F2P-MMO-port Phantasy Star Online 2: Special Package - make it in to the top 10.

The 3DS has a new Layton game taking second place behind the latest Dynasty Warriors. Also, that Dragon Ball card game takes 4th.

Sales of the Wii U are back in five figures for this week.

Macross 30: Ginga o Tsunagu Utagoe, a within-franchise cross-over game celebrating 30 years of Macross animated series, takes 6th place with 63k uints sold and will likely never see an English localization because Harmony Gold are still jerks.

That may not be all HG's fault. The license rights to Macross in the US are extremely muddy and so nobody wants to attempt to bring any of the games or anime series over here because of that.

Not only is it a mess in the US, it is (or was) also a mess in Japan. It was wrong of me to fully shift the blame on to Harmony Gold. The company hasn't done anything to endear me in recent years. I recall a recent legal scuffle between Harmony Gold and the companies involved with MechWarrior Online over mech designs that caused a past legal scuffle.

Yeah, that is all about Mechwarrior/Battletech licensed some of the Macross Mechs to be part of their continuity. Well that licensing was to FAFSA. When FAFSA effectively went away they argued that the licensing was no longer in place.

I'm not so sure it would help much. Looking at Japan's sales, the price cut combined with the first major release for the system in months, and while the results weren't terrible they weren't impressive either. If the system slips back to 10k a week sales, as it might a month or two from now, Sony will be in the same position as before, only now they're making less money than before.

The price cut of the Playstation Vita carries momentum as sales surpass those of the 3DS this week. Hatsune Miku, voice synthesizer software and pizza mascot, takes the top spot this week. Following it is Keiji Inafune's Soul Sacrifice for the Playstation Vita.

LOL.

If Wii U and Xbox 360 kept up this exact rate (obviously it won't), it would take Wii U 1 year, 10 months, 1 week to catch up.

No Wii or Wii U games in the top 20, odd.

Yes, because it's SO hard to pick on the likes of GameFAQs message board users. They just never leave you an easy opening!

I'll be interested to see if Soul Sacrifice ends up being the Monster Hunter-like experience enough to stabilize the Vita in Japan, considering just about every other game Sony showed on the recent Vita Heaven broadcast was also a Monster Hunter knock-off.

Post by: Enner on March 14, 2013, 06:54:58 PM: The February NPD report should pop up later today.

The talk through the grapevine has the Wii U selling ~80k, the Xbox 360 at ~300k, and Dead Space 3 taking the top spot away from Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

EDIT:
GameSpot.com
Fire Emblem: Awakening sold 180,000 units in February (more than 117,000 at retail + more than 63,000 digitally), Nintendo has announced.

That sounds pretty good.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: broodwars on March 15, 2013, 12:44:58 AM: Considering Sony abandoned Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time after dropping the price to $40 during the pre-order period, I'm thrilled to see that the game charted at all. That it sold at least more than Fire Emblem's 117K retail copies makes me hopeful that the game sold respectively enough (especially after it releases in Europe in a few weeks) to convince Sony to keep Sanzaru around for another game. Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time was a fantastic game made by people who obviously had a great deal of love for the franchise and its characters. They made a great game, so hopefully the fans (those who knew the game was out) rewarded them and will reward them for it in Europe. I'd hate to see Sony close that studio down like they have so many others lately.

Other than Sly, the NPDs went more or less as I expected. Having just finished Dead Space 3, it does not in any way; shape; or form deserve those sales, but it had a massive marketing campaign behind it so seeing it Chart #1 was expected. I am kind of surprised that Revengeance charted as low as it did, outsold by NBA 2K13 (All-Star Weekend) and Black Ops 2 (b/c it's Call of Duty). And I'm surprised that anyone's surprised that Aliens: Colonial Marines sold as it did, considering the large pre-order numbers & being tied to a popular franchise. We'll never see it on the NPDs again, though.

The system needs to have games first. Kind of hard to have games in the Top 10 when nothing was released for the system in February. I'd say the Wii U sales are actually good for a system with no games being released for it, since it has an excuse for selling so poorly. If the Wii U actually had a decent lineup of games being released and was still doing this bad, then Nintendo would actually be in trouble.

Once Nintendo starts releasing more of their own big guns like Mario Kart, 3D Mario, Wii Sports, as well as drop the price, then the sales will pick up like they did for the 3DS when it's price was dropped and it got more major games released for it.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on March 15, 2013, 03:53:45 AM: That probably has something to do with the Wii having sold about 30 times as many units as the Wii U.

The February NPD report should pop up later today.

The talk through the grapevine has the Wii U selling ~80k, the Xbox 360 at ~300k,
So Wii U went from 55,000 units in January to 80,000 units in February; a shorter month and still no new games released? I'd say that was actually pretty impressive, all things considered.
Were there new bundles or something? I can't remember.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on March 15, 2013, 12:57:43 PM: It lends credence to the talk that Wii U sales were hurt by a massive number of returns in January. The people saying that said actual sales were around 100,000, which makes the 80,000 this month make more sense.

The official numbers came in and Wii U actually sold 66K. So nah, lamer than expected.

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon debuts nicely with almost 300k units sold. Castlevania: Lord of Shadows - Mirror of Fate doesn't fair as nicely at all. The Playstation Vita maintains a steady pace as new software for the system also lands in the top 20.

Post by: Killer_Man_Jaro on March 27, 2013, 04:54:44 PM: For reference, the first Luigi's Mansion on GameCube supposedly sold somewhere in the region 190,000 copies in its first week of release in Japan - and that was at the launch of the system, let's not forget.

Good for you, Dark Moon. I'm hoping my order arrives tomorrow for the European launch.

Post by: ymeegod on March 30, 2013, 08:47:01 AM: Retro City Rampage been out on PSN longer. also been on sale, so of course the numbers for the PS3 will be the highest? Retro City Rampage goes on sale in April (first week) on XBLA so expect to see an increase boost.

Hell, I think it was just released on WIIware (March?) so that would explain why it was the lowest sales.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on March 30, 2013, 08:55:56 AM: I think 5,000 is pretty good for a WiiWare game in 2012. The kind of people who paid attention to WiiWare are largely the kind of people who bought Wii Us, and thus people who had to go through a shitty process just to get to WiiWare when this came out. That plus it being the last version to come out makes the number not so bad.

The exact wording was "sold less than 5000" so that might be anything from zero to 4999. Same with revenue.

Also developer regrets doing XBLA port since it turned out to be the most hassle with littlest return. Ratio of profit per copy sold is the lowest among all platforms.

Wii U sales triple in the United Kingdom when Monster Hunter hit.

Though triple the sales of the original number isn't too great, but it's certainly not bad news.

Now after putting in about 15-20 hours I can see why Monster Hunter is so addicting.

Quropeco armor. Cool. Just so you know it Abilities (Wide Range and Maestro) are gear towards support Hunting Horns. Though Wide Range is handy for everyone since the items you use will go to close allies as well. The bugs in that set is the worst part.

Also developer regrets doing XBLA port since it turned out to be the most hassle with littlest return. Ratio of profit per copy sold is the lowest among all platforms.

Is it just that Microsoft (and publisher) took the biggest chunk of the four platforms, or that the WiiWare version made more profit overall despite having a third of the sales?

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon fends off the oft-delayed Fate/Extra CCC for the top spot. The Wii U gets a much-needed boost in sales from Dragon Quest X for Wii U and (maybe?) Game & Wario. The PlayStation Vita continues to maintain a decent sales pace; the price cut and new software did wonders.

Post by: Caterkiller on April 03, 2013, 05:43:12 PM: Not bad for a mini game collection I would assume people like me are getting tired of by now despite the new input methods and a better looking version of a game that's been out on Wii for a while.

Oh and by that I mean I'm surprised they sold that much at all. Played a couple Game and Wario games and was absolutely not interested at all. When will square quit making their top franchises MMO's?

Actually, DQX didn't do that badly. The sales represent about 60-80% of the stock. In addition, the report does not take into account the eShop sales or upgrade sales. For a console that is at three quarters of a million, those numbers aren't as terrible as they seem.

I'm not making this up either, this source clearly states that Famitsu said that this is a sell of 75% stock.

I imagine the eShop sales for this are even better; DQX, after all, CAN be purchased for half the price at eShop AND there is a discount for people who already have the Wii version to upgrade it. So many people are blowing this out of proportion, hence the whole "DQX tanks on WiiU in Japan" media blitz that is happening.

If that's true then at least Square didn't expect it to sell that well. But I think people expected it to be more of a much-needed boost for the Wii U, because the mainline series usually sells a lot more than this. I know why it didn't of course, but, still, this is why people had higher expectations.

Understandable in every way. Even if DQX's physical sales aren't much, don't forget that the real money for this title comes from the subscription fees. And of course, there's also the eShop digital sales -- after all it's cheaper on eShop, and there are discounts for simple upgrades. Why the charts didn't report any of this is beyond me. But I bet it's doing much better on that front. Either way, it won't be the last WiiU title we'll see from S-E. The more units Nintendo can sell, the more third parties will commit to it.

And who knows, maybe DQXI will be traditional AND a 3DS/WiiU simultaneous release. I CAN see it, provided Nintendo continues its pursuing of 3rd parties.

Post by: ymeegod on April 04, 2013, 09:36:40 PM: Doubt the DL sales are going be much higher. Most WII U owners--most likely already owned an WII and all those that wanted to play DQX most likely did already. There wasn't much new to warrant spending $40 (upgrade cost) while still paying $12 monthly.

For $40 you'll get a slighty shaprer image (WII U has better AA), some sound tracks, an bonus in game item, and off-screen gamepad play? I know better ways to blow $40 on.

--------------------------

Of course I will never have to worry about DQX since it's never going be localized to begin with. I waited 5 years for this too :(.

You never know. I think if S-E wants this title to make more money, they'll have to localize it.

There was also the message from Iwata-san that he was going to work with developers to publish their titles stateside. DQX must be one of them. Don't jump to conclusions just yet.

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and Animal Crossing: New Leaf top the charts in a week where the only new release to chart is Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge for the PS3. Sales have settled as the PlayStation Vita and the Nintendo Wii U start sinking back to old rates. Dragon Quest X Wii U retail sees a 70% along with other titles such as Fate/Extra CCC and Muramasa Rebirth; whoever wanted those titles day one got them.

It's not a traditional WarioWare game which don't sell as well as the real ones. The last WarioWare game, D.I.Y which wasn't traditional either, had a huge drop from previous games and that was released when the DS was still selling huge.

Post by: Enner on April 15, 2013, 01:00:03 AM: If you are tired of Wii U negativity, then avoid the following talking-heads segment.

http://www.gametrailers.com/full-episodes/8q4vcl/bonus-round-pachter-on-next-gen-pricing-

Anyway, an interesting point was raised in the talks. The Xbox 360 (with a hard drive) and the Playstation 3 have yet to have their prices break below the $200 line. Once that happens, the panel (passingly) agreed that the sales prospects for the Wii U will be in (deeper) trouble. I was so focused on what the Playstation 4 and the Xbox Durango will be priced at and how it will relate to the Wii U that I forgot about how Sony's and Microsoft's current consoles can make potentially fatal moves against the Wii U.

Are $149 Xbox 360s and $199 Playstation 3s on track for the end of this year? Will the Wii U be caught woefully in the middle between the technical superiority of the PS4 and Xbox Durango and the established value of the PS3 and X360? Or is the audience waiting for the cheap PS3s and 360s not an audience that would've bought a Wii U?

This year just gets crazier by the day.

Or a $350 Wii U with very few games that unfortunately half of can be found on other systems for much cheaper. Not that I'm hating on the system, I love my Wii U. But I can definitely understand the other side of the argument.
(I thought the 3DS was a bigger disappointment than the Wii U, and look how that has turned out.)
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on April 15, 2013, 01:54:16 AM: Once again, Nintendo's first party software is what sells their systems. It doesn't matter how cheap the 360/PS3 are going to be, if people want to play the newest Mario Kart or Wii Sports this Fall, they'll have to buy the Wii U.

This is the same argument some people tried to use back in 2006 saying since the Wii's technology and graphics weren't next gen like the 360/PS3, it needed to be $150 or less since it was competing against the PS2. So when Nintendo announced the price for the Wii would be $250, these same people declared the system would bomb because nobody was going to pay that much for a glorified Gamecube when the PS2 was much cheaper. And well, we all know how that turned out.

Wwhen it comes to Nintendo, comparing the technology and what the other systems are doing doesn't mean **** when the number 1 reason anybody buys Nintendo consoles in the first place is for Nintendo's own games. This holiday season, the Wii U's fate will be decided entirely on what Nintendo has ready for the system, since the games they release will be what drives the Wii U sales and nothing Microsoft and Sony can do will change that.

Post by: Oblivion on April 15, 2013, 10:37:14 AM: Nintendo doesn't have a Wii Sports-like title this time around. And it's going to be quite some time before we get a quality first-party title from Nintendo. And I don't want a Nintendo system that just has some good Nintendo games (that I actually don't like too often, I hate Mario, I only liked Wind Waker, I only like Metroid Prime, I like Mario Kart for a little while then it gets boring, etc. I bought the Wii for the unique third-party games. That's why I buy a Nintendo console.

Paraphrase: Nintendo's its own worst enemy.
Agreed.

Now on the whole price thing in specific. If the WiiU was being bought as a true Media Center, one of the big reasons to even buy a PS3, then this might be concerning. But Nintendo made a lame duck media tool without fully thinking through the strategy.

Just read Luigi Dude's post again. The lack of Nintendo software is what is hurting the system the most right now. Pikmin should have been February. Then Something next month. Monster Hunter while good is Niche, though a dedicated console buying for a single game niche. Lego City Undercover while from what I read is good just nothing I could see someone buying a system for though I think it will be evergreen. Making March actually a relatively good month strategy out of a poor mishandeling of the system launch.

Post by: NWR_insanolord on April 15, 2013, 10:50:08 AM: I'm pretty sure Nintendo wanted Pikmin/Wonderful 101/Game & Wario all out in Q1, but it seems pretty clear they're all having development problems. I think on some level this hasn't been Nintendo not learning from their mistakes as much as it has been Nintendo not having enough experience with "HD" development to accurately judge what kind of time they were going to need.

Post by: Ian Sane on April 15, 2013, 12:45:49 PM: The Wii U is more enticing for someone who doesn't already have a PS360 because then its third party ports have some actual value. A big problem for the Wii U is that they can say "we have Arkham City and Assassin's Creed 3" and PS360 owners shrug and says "So?" because why would you buy a new system for those games if you already had a console that can play them? But in direct competition for someone who doesn't own any of those consoles those Wii U third party games actually matter somewhat. I think it's a way easier sell for that audience then someone who already has those systems.

But then the "well the old system has a billion more games" argument has been used for decades by people who don't know **** about videogames. The Wii U is supposed to be a new gen. The price comparison against the PS360 is only a problem if the market sees the Wii U as Nintendo's answer to the PS360, but if that's the market perception a PS360 price drop is the least of Nintendo's worries.

That explanation makes some sense for Wario and Pikmin*, but since Platinum Games are the folks developing Wonderful 101 it can't explain everything.

*It would be a terrible excuse too, since the transitional problems are well documented and there are an abundance of experienced HD devs out there nowadays.

New Super Mario Bros. U and Nintendo Land. You may not like Mario, but that's a damn good one, and Nintendo Land is amazing in multiplayer.

I think the biggest mistake Nintendo made was releasing NSMB 2 just a few months earlier on the 3DS. A lot of people who wanted to play 2D Mario would have bought that game earlier, or when the holiday came and they see that there is two new NSMB games, they're going to buy the cheaper one which is NSMB 2. The fact that NSMB 2 continues to be on all the weekly charts in Japan and Europe and the 3DS is still getting better sales show the brand is still strong, but most people only want to buy one at a time so NSMB 2 is overshadowing NSMB U.

Had Nintendo not released NSMB 2, I think the Wii U woulds be getting higher sales since the NSMB audience would have to buy a Wii U if they wanted to play the newest game. Instead Nintendo gave them a much cheaper alternative for a similar experience which is what most are buying now instead.

This is why Mario Kart will be a much bigger killer app this holiday and greatly increase sales since it'll be 2 years since the last game and that audience has a much bigger fanbase on home consoles then handhelds, unlike NSMB which shares a very similar fanbase on handheld and console. Mario Kart Wii sold 12 million more the Mario Kart DS compared to NSMB DS selling 2 million more then NSMB Wii.

Post by: SixthAngel on April 16, 2013, 01:17:03 AM: Why would the WiiU get killed by these low prices but not the new PS/Xbox?
The big games for these systems are going to be cross generation like Watchdogs so they will be available on these cheap systems. This is a problem for every new console entering the market.

WiiU needs games people will buy the system for, not to entice the 150 dollar console purchasers.
I also really like Ian's comment about perception and Luigi Dude's NSMB analysis. Just too many NSMB too close together.

Quote from: http://www.polygon.com/2013/4/17/4235366/nintendo-eshop-made-up-11-percent-of-all-3ds-game-sales-last-year
StarFox 64 3D and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, for instance, both had 20 percent of their sales on the shop. Art Academy: Lessons For Everyone, Brain Age: Concentration and Crossword Plus each did 15 to 25 percent of sales on the shop. And about a third of Fire Emblem sales were through the store.

Quote from: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2013-04-17-nintendo-our-digital-sales-are-soaring
"When the NPD numbers come out later this week, you're going to see life-to-date 3DS game sales surpass 20 million units in the US," says Fils-Aime. "And that's just physical. It doesn't include digital sales. ... So far in 2013 - through April 15 - 3DS game sales are up 55 percent versus last year, counting both physical and digital."

"What I would say about Wii U - and what Mr. Iwata has said - is that the pace of launches has been slower than we hoped. But as we prepare for E3, the pace of launches for Wii U is going to dramatically increase."

After 2 years, 3DS has sold 8 million units in the US so far - 1 million more than its predecessor in the same time frame.
Fire Emblem: Awakening has sold 240,000 life-to-date with a third being from the eShop.
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon has sold 415,000 so far.
67% of 3DS connected to the internet; 41 million items from the eShop have been downloaded.

Still, good to see some new blood on the charts. I guess Heart of the Swarm did most of its business in digital, because I can't understand otherwise why it didn't chart.

But seriously...Walking Dead: Survival Instinct at #9? Well, there goes my last shred of hope in humanity. :@ Popular game or not, that game has NEVER looked like it would EVER be a good game (and wonder of wonders...it wasn't).

Lego City sales are actually pretty good considering the userbase for the Wii U is only a little over 1 million at this point and it came out at the end of the month. It's already one of the highest selling games on the system with less then two weeks of sales.

Well, if we're opening the Floodgates to the Neogaf numbers, there are two big numbers that stick out to me:

Wii U hardware sales - 67,000 - 68,000 units sold :-X (business as usual for the Wii U)
Need for Speed: Most Wanted (Wii U version) - "less than 10,000" units sold :Q (and there goes what little EA support the Wii U had)

There's also a number that bugs me on the 3DS side:

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate - "less than 30,000" units sold. :-\ (I liked that game, but with sales that poor a console port is pretty inevitable at this point)

March was easily Wii U's best month for new software since launch, and even with 2 major exclusives and 1 major port (Need for Speed), the Wii U is still floundering in the same general sales area it did when it didn't have new software. Granted, none of these new titles were on the level of a new Mario or Zelda title, but it's the total lack of an impact on console sales that concerns me.

So...how much longer are we going to pretend that the Wii U is not in serious trouble (& possibly beyond the 3DS year 1 analogy at this point), as Nintendo continues to announce major projects for the 3DS as they quietly delay big Wii U titles? The big talking point before was that the thing was selling poorly due to lack of new games, but March is as good as things are going to get for the Wii U until late summer and it really didn't seem to matter. I gather we're going to continue hearing that B.S. about how "people just don't understand the value of Wii U" for several more months to come.

From what we heard it from developers it was inevitable from day one. And not only console and but PC port as well.

Yeah, nice going devs. You killed my what tiny wee little measly interest i had in buying your game knowing it will soon be ported to PC.

LEGO is doing good all things considered. This will probably have some legs.

It would be foolish to not be concerned for the Wii U since the January 2013 sales. Are we witnessing the start of the worst disaster to befall on a console that will not kill its parent company. Eh... I still say to wait to see how things are at the 1st anniversary.

The lack of new games isn't why the console is selling poorly. The console is selling poorly because it is failing to be desirable system that has desirable software (i.e. system seller, killer app). As good as LEGO City: Undercover, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, and Need for Speed: Most Wanted U are, they are not the games most people would buy an entirely new system for. Personally, I don't see anything that is special and awesome that is currently available for the Wii U. I expect that will change once Monolith's X comes around.

As an aside, I got a Wii late in 2010 and had a mental list of titles I wanted to get. I got an Xbox 360 somewhat for free (odd happenings with the PC/360 promotion) and would've not gotten it otherwise despite a passing fondness for the Halo series and a desire to play Platinum games. I recently got a good deal on a PS3 and am anticipating a few JRPGs. Oh, and I snagged a deal on 3DS XL in December of last year so I can play Liberation Maiden! Half-joking with that; excited for JRPGs and MonHun 4. I'm probably a odd case in how I wait for a good deal. Even if Monolith's X, Super Smash Bros. 4, or some unexpected & amazing Wii U game were released, I wouldn't get a Wii U unless I could get a good bundle or discount.

So...how much longer are we going to pretend that the Wii U is not in serious trouble (& possibly beyond the 3DS year 1 analogy at this point), as Nintendo continues to announce major projects for the 3DS as they quietly delay big Wii U titles? The big talking point before was that the thing was selling poorly due to lack of new games, but March is as good as things are going to get for the Wii U until late summer and it really didn't seem to matter. I gather we're going to continue hearing that B.S. about how "people just don't understand the value of Wii U" for several more months to come.

Once again the DS and 3DS were doing terrible early on as well. So saying the Wii U is doomed when it's still just a few months old is very foolish, when there's still plenty of time to turn it around. Yes, the fact Wii U hardware didn't increase with some game isn't good, but that just goes to show the $350 price tag is still a major issue as well. Hell, the fact the Wii still sells better then the Wii U despite having nothing released for it, pretty much proves how important the high price tag still is. The DS still outsold the 3DS until the price was cut, not hard to imagine a Wii U price cut can do the same.

Lego City was the only truly major game as well. Monster Hunter is a smaller series in the West that was hurt by the fact the same damn game was available on the cheaper 3DS so that was always going to be a non-factor. Of course even in the case of Lego City, every other Lego game was based on an already hugely popular franchise like Star Wars, Harry Potter, Batman etc. Since Lego City isn't based on anything, there's a good chance a lot of the audience for these games just isn't interested because the appeal of playing a Lego parody of a series they already love isn't there. If Nintendo was to release a Smash Bros game with the gameplay the exact same, but all the characters are now completely original instead of popular Nintendo characters, do you think that game would sell anywhere close to what the previous games with Nintendo characters did?

Oh and don't even mention Need for Speed because that game was intentionally set up to fail because EA's still butt hurt Nintendo didn't give them the keys to their entire online, something they never should have expected in the first place. Releasing a port several months late at full price was never in a million years going to sell, and EA was a joke to do so.

Plus, it was ported by a small team (I think I read a dozen at Criterion) so it will probably still be profitable over its lifetime.

I expect Capcom to go port happy with Monster Hunter since their company profits are way down. Look for it on the HD twins and Vita! Nintendo will probably let them even if they have an exclusive contract because Nintendo has shown a soft spot for a floundering Capcom. Remember the Gamecube's Capcom five and how they almost all went to PS2 eventually?

What am I thinking. Of course not. Nintendo are far too arrogant to admit mistakes. They would rather alienate as many of their supporters as possible.

I don't think Nintendo will let them go back on Monster Hunter 4. Now after Monster Hunter 4 is released I fully expect their to be a Monster Hunter Portable 4 for Vita about 6 months later.

Also **** Monster Hunter sales. Capcom needs to ignore that series in the US and focus on Dragon's Dogma getting multiplayer.

edit: I take that back since Monster Hunter has a US fanbase and the series probably covers its localization costs between WW sales. I just want Dragon's Dogma with a multiplayer component.

Post by: Ian Sane on April 19, 2013, 01:48:08 PM: March for the Wii U was merely a better month than some others were and others will be. It wasn't really a GOOD month so I don't think it would change too many people's opinion of the Wii U or would tip in favour of a purchase. Videogame systems compete with each other so really the Wii U's March compares to that of other videogame systems on the market. Don't overrate that which is good by "Wii U standards". The Wii U still has an incredibly weak lineup of games.

If the situation didn't improve, and I sure thought the DS was fucked at this point in its life so it is still early, and Nintendo felt the need to quickly replace the Wii U, I wonder if they go with a model that acts as an upgrade. Now I'm sure someone will say "that will segregate the market" but I'm thinking a little different than Sega CD type thing. What if Nintendo released a new console that is backwards compatible with the Wii U, and the marketing is primarily focused on the new console? However, to please existing Wii U owners they also offer an add-on that turns the Wii U into the new system, but the marketing for the add-on is more low key and the add-on is only available from Nintendo's web site or has limited retail availability in gamer focused stores like Gamestop but not Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, etc. The idea of the add-on is entirely to not piss off the small existing Wii U userbase that would be pretty upset that their new console become obsolete so fast. They get a cheaper way to upgrade to the new console. Now of course the hardware has to be designed to allow the entire existing Wii U hardware to be contained within it and I don't even know how feasible or logical such a design would be. And this is only if the Wii U really is DOOMED and cannot last a normal console lifecycle.

we could MAYBE see an expansion pack with added ram to help the Wii U with PS4/720 games but that is the thinking that screwed sega over... but the ps4 spec sheet is all show to be honest, an eight core processor from tablets against a tri-core processor from PC, and considering the monstronsity of a gpu nintendo cooked up it shouldn't need much more then that

While Nintendo has suffered an operating loss of 36.4 billion yen (US$366 million), gains in currency-exchange has put it back in black at a net income of 7 billion yen ($71 million). An operating loss is still a bad thing to have, but it's nice to see some money was made and that there was no repeat loss.

Nintendo currently sits on a totals assets worth of 1.44 trillion yen (US$14.48 billion). This includes everything down to the kitchen sinks and the toilets!

The 3DS has sold 31.09 million hardware units and 95.03 million software units in its lifetime-to-date. That's a (software-to-hardware) attach rate of 3.05 pieces of software to 1 hardware unit. In Japan, the number of new titles released in the fiscal year grew from 92 in 2012 to 97 in 2013. The Americas and other regions saw a drop from 86 new titles to 77 and 89 to 84, respectively.

The Wii U has sold 3.45 million hardware units and 13.42 million software units in its lifetime-to-date. That's an attach rate of 3.88. There are currently 20 titles for the Wii U in Japan, 44 in the Americas, and 37 in other regions.

Fun facts of individual title sales:

Pokemon Black Version 2/Pokemon White Version 2 - 7.81 million

Super Mario 3D Land – 8.29 million

Mario Kart 7 – 8.08 million

New Super Mario Bros. 2 – 6.42 million

Animal Crossing: New Leaf – 3.86 million (Japan-only)

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D – 2.95 million

Nintendogs + cats – 2.70 million

Paper Mario: Sticker Star – 1.97 million

Pokémon Rumble Blast – 1.29 million

Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon – 1.22 million

Kid Icarus: Uprising – 1.18 million

Mario Tennis Open – 1.11 million

New Super Mario Bros. U - 2.15 million

Nintendo Land - 2.6 million (I assume this includes bundled units)

One thing about sales in this day and age it seems like people are just smarter. While I see sales of the Ps420 to be better at the start I don't know if it will be significantly better. Internet has been the mainstream for a long time but it feels like now people understand how to wait for what they want and don't get fooled by too much glitzy PR. Seems like more and more people wait for price drops and a decent sized library, as in its hard to "fool" people on just that one game anymore at launch.

I'm looking forward to the one game that lamers go for and the one game that casuals go for. The casual one is probably going to be health inspector and it can tell you if your going to have a heart attack.

It's a decent number until you consider that 3.06 million of those sales were in 2012. That means that for the first three months of 2013, the Wii U sold only 390,000 units worldwide. 3DS does more than that each month.

I can't find quarter-to-quarter sales of the PS3 and Xbox 360, but according to Nintendo's own financial reports, the Wii sold 5.84 million units by March 31st, 2007.

for Fiscal Year Ended March 2013
Apr. 25, 2013

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/130425/index.html

Always an interesting presentation to read through. The hardware market share percentage graphs being a regular highlight.

Quote
Well, I think all of you are most interested in Nintendo’s prospects for this fiscal year rather than the past.
In the Corporate Management Policy Briefing in January, I stated as a commitment of the management that in the next fiscal year, with the premise of the then current trend of currency exchange rates, the management would aim to earn 100 billion yen (US$1.006 billion) of operating profit or more by reviving the momentum of our overseas operations.

Best of luck for them on that.

The E3 presentation details have been discussed elsewhere.

One last tidbit:
Quote
For your information, as recovering the momentum in the overseas markets tops our priority list, we are planning to place our overseas operations under the direct control of the company president after this year’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. Under this new management structure, the company will make its utmost efforts to achieve the 100 billion yen operating profit in the current fiscal year.

It think the company president referenced here is Mr. Iwata himself.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on April 25, 2013, 02:18:29 PM: Are you sure that they don't mean the president of the overseas operations (the heads of NOA and NOE)?

I always felt that NOA had their hands tied because of the choices made by leaders in Japan.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Fatty The Hutt on April 25, 2013, 02:34:21 PM: No they mean Iwata himself. That's exactly what happened. Iwata is now the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of NoA. Reggie reports directly to him.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Enner on April 30, 2013, 01:32:00 PM: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/130430qa/index.html

The investor Q&A is now in English.

Interesting stuff on Nintendo's digital efforts, Iwata having more control on overseas operations, and game development on the Wii U.

On Pikmin 3, it was delayed to improve customer satisfaction. Development came upon unexpected challenges that required Nintendo to pull staff away from other projects. Iwata says that Pikmin 3 and other future titles were understaffed in the time before Wii U's launch.

Quote
The reason for the delayed release of our first-party titles was the fact that completing the games released at the same time as the launch of Wii U required more development resources than expected, so some staff members from development teams working on other titles had to help complete them. In short, the development teams of "Pikmin 3" and other future games were understaffed during that period. We do not simply have one easily identifiable bottleneck in software development. These days it is becoming increasingly challenging to determine the minimum development resources required for customer satisfaction. The point I am trying to get across is that currently it is more challenging to sell packaged software for around $50-$60. On the other hand, we can offer digital games in other formats. It is true that it is becoming increasingly challenging to meet the expectations of consumers who are willing to pay $50-$60 for a game, and it is difficult to break even unless a huge number of units is sold all over the world, so it cannot be denied that software development is becoming more challenging. Among such packaged software, however, the sales of popular games are much larger than in the past. Therefore, if we create more hit games, the software development business can still be very profitable. All games break even if they sell millions of copies worldwide, so we will continue to do our best to develop games which have high sales potential.

Post by: Stratos on April 30, 2013, 03:12:47 PM: Don't know if I like the sound of that news. Looks like Nintendo is going to be 'tightening their belts' when it comes to software releases and that means less 'experimental' games or new IPs. Less niche game releases.

Hope it's not the case but that is what it sounds like :/
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on April 30, 2013, 03:39:09 PM: That was an interesting read and shows that Iwata or who writes for him is pretty in touch on the why but, not really a short time fix to ease into the long term one. The investors on the other hand have really no clue.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on April 30, 2013, 04:37:58 PM: Nintendo is new to HD game development so them being understaffed, at least initially, makes sense. They're just now learning what everyone else did six years ago and I sure don't expect Nintendo to learn something by merely observing the rest of the industry. I agree though that "high sales potential" does not fill me with confidence. I can't see games like Xenoblade or Sin & Punishment getting greenlit under those conditions.

Post by: broodwars on April 30, 2013, 05:35:14 PM: Probably the most troubling thing I saw in that Investor Q&A (besides Ian's spotlight on Iwata saying Nintendo understaffed their Wii U projects, which by the way is what I've been hypothesizing for months as Nintendo pushed all resources into the 3DS) is this:

Quote
I already communicate very frequently with those working for our overseas subsidiaries, but I will try to intensify the communications with them to make their marketing strategies and tactics more aligned with the management decisions at the headquarters. I will also inform them about the products under development on a more timely basis so that they can take advantage of the sales potential of such products in their business territories.

Oh lovely. Iwata thinks if NoA & NoE market Wii U games & hardware like they do in Japan (where it sells worse), they'll be fine. Also, apparently NoA & NoE have not historically been kept in the loop regarding future Wii U projects coming out of Japan. Yeah, that MIGHT have been a problem, Iwata! :@
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NIN_T on May 01, 2013, 02:32:18 AM: Bad move to make Iwata in charge I think. He seems pretty clueless to the western market. Nintendo in general seem pretty poor on the western front. They really need to address this...

I whole mess of games came out last week. Golden Week must be near or something. Despite the influx, Tomodachi Collection still reigns supreme. The updated and expanded version of Dragon's Dogma takes 2nd. The new Tomb Raider is at 4th. Bioshock Infinite places at 10th.

It has nothing to do with HD, just the same crap that happens on every new console, particularly with Nintendo
games. Rumor is that Xbox software is already months behind schedule too because moving people to different hardware always takes more time than expected.

I guess that was Golden Week? It's the only explanation I can think of for New Super Mario Bros. 2 to rocket up the charts by +78%. The Wii U limps over the 900k mark.

You know what I'd like to see in a new Wii sports? A ninja star Vs sword game. One person who chucks the stars while another goes all Jedi night and deflects everything. There better be a new Wii sports this year! Hmmm... Never thought I'd say that.

And what software would have propelled the Vita to better sales this month? We just got Soul Sacrifice over here in NA, but I can't think of a recent major Vita title in Japan. I'm surprised the Vita even sold that well, honestly.

I'm looking forward for the next year when we will see the performance of other next-gen systems. In a schadenfreude way.

I'm sure the other systems won't fair much better when they are released. At that point Wii U will be the cheapest console on the market.

Quote
Separately, Nintendo announced that it has sold 2.1 million first-party 3DS games through the first four months of the year, up 52 percent over last year.

"In 2012, it took 30 weeks for Nintendo 3DS to sell 2 million units of first-party software. In 2013, the platform accomplished that same feat in 18 weeks," Nintendo said.

Nintendo said Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins shifted nearly 94,000 combined physical and digital copies. Notably, it released on April 24, near the end of the NPD Group's reporting period. Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon sold 140,000 units in the month (physical and digital), boosting its life-to-date total to 530,000 units.

The only Wii U title Nintendo revealed sales statistics for was New Super Mario Bros. U, which has now sold nearly 770,000 combined physical and digital units to date.

Post by: broodwars on May 16, 2013, 09:17:24 PM: According to GAF's usual source, Wii U sold between 30,000 and 40,000 units. The Wii, meanwhile, sold between 40,000 and 50,000 units despite Pandora's Tower being its only new release in months. I see Iwata truly IS bringing the bomb to E3 this year.

Nintendo had better have one hell of an E3 showing and an even better unannounced Fall lineup, because the Wii U's starting to drift into Vita-class numbers now.

On a sidenote, damn you, Shaymin. :P: : :

Friend Collection is dethroned by the newcomer, Summon Night 5 for the PSP. Will the newcomer keep its throne? Most likely not. Friend Collection is poised to break the one million mark within the next month, guessing from its sales numbers. The other new release last week was MuvLuv Alternative: Total Eclipse, a PS3 video game based on a manga spun off from a PC video game spun off from another PC video game.

Post by: ymeegod on June 06, 2013, 01:33:46 AM: PSP Vs Vita (in terms of cycle timespan) 4.5million vs 6million. Vita's selling 20% slower than PSP.
3ds Vs DS 31 million vs 33 million. 3ds is selling 7% behind the ds now.

Last few months has been pretty dreadful numbers for hardware. Not sure what Sony's planning but the vita's pretty much dead in the states--which is a shame since it's a nice little system with free games (PS+).

I went to a Gamestop recently and asked how Wii U was selling. They said it sold enough to keep the system in low stock. Then, I asked how Vita was selling; they laughed.

Post by: shingi_70 on June 06, 2013, 04:43:38 PM: accedentoal evidence but there were no Wii U units on the show floor at the Meijer I went today. To be fair there weren't any Vita or PS3 units as well. The one thing I did notice was the Wii U section of the cases was probably the worse of all the systems there. The Wii U software is cannibalized by so much regular Wii Product and there isn't an effort make the sections different. When looking at the Wii U its al 3DS software and old DS games are in their own bargin section off to the side.

I'll probably post in here more as I just got a job in the Meijer's electronics department.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on June 17, 2013, 11:26:11 PM: I always think it's weird that people buy games and never play them (as in NEVER), then I noticed I have a sealed copy of Mortal Kombat for XBox 360 on my shelf...that I've had for 2 years.

I also have a sealed GTAIV Collector's Edition that I bought at a closing BlockBuster a couple years ago for $14. I think it's worth about $180 now.

The 3DS was the top-selling hardware for the last month, edging out X360's 114,000 units. Also, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D placed 3rd and Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon placed 5th in the charts. 3DS software sales are up 60% from last year.

I just read about this... then, recalled Nintendo saying that 3DS sales where four times the prior week's sales (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/34599) during the month of June. It will be interesting to see June's numbers.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on June 20, 2013, 09:20:18 AM: At this rate, Wii U will catch up with Xbox 360 in Japan in 114 weeks, assuming XBox 360 doesn't sell another console in that time frame. If they keep selling 400 consoles a week, then it will take Nintendo about 122 weeks.

Slightly related, someone probably just got about the most unexpected phone call ever at work.

You can say that for sure. LOL. I'm at work and all of a sudden I get a call from UncleBob of all people. Luckily it was a lax moment at the time, so I didn't have customers to worry about.

Post by: UncleBob on June 21, 2013, 12:32:00 PM: I don't work in a department, I work out of my private office. And I know you work at the fitting room - remember when I said I thought it'd be you who'd answer the phone? :D I also knew your shift started at 3:30.

A whole new mess of games came out last week and they populated the charts with fresh titles. At the top is Gundam Breaker, an action game based on the Gundam model kits where mixing and matching different parts is encouraged. The Vita version of Toukiden takes the 2nd spot with its PSP version taking the 4th. Sandwiched between them is Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl for the 3DS, a remake of the first Etrian Odyssey game. Filling out the new titles in the top 10 is the latest Atelier game, a new 3DS Digimon game, and the licensed game based on Date A Live.

Well last week Nintendo started running commercials for Pikmin 3 and New Super Luigi, which both come out on July 13th over there. That's probably what caused that bump.

Hopefully this means when the games are released on the 13th it finally give the Wii U some good sales for once if the commercials alone could slowly bump sales 2 weeks before release.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on July 10, 2013, 08:49:42 PM: Wii U's hardware sales are so pathetic, that you could write that uptick in weekly sales off to a statistical anomaly. I believe the change is within the "margin of error" ;) :P

I haven't been in this thread for ever, but my gawd, I can't believe the Wii U still hasn't broken 1M in sales yet. Nintendo needs to release some damn games already.... and drop the price too.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: shingi_70 on July 10, 2013, 09:16:44 PM: Yep no one cares for it. Not Gamers, not Third parties, retailers, or even Nintendo.

The blame has to be put squarely on Iwata for being the president, and Miyamoto who despite announcing having a reduced role in the company is still overseeing multiple projects. I also blame the comapny having probably the least diverse console portfolio at E3 which is crazy when you think about it.

Also I just started working at a Meijer that opens in two weeks and the gaming side is very telling of how the retail space views nintendo. The displays break down to this.

Sony- Two deisplays full of Playstation 3 and a few Vita Games. Six Vita systems and about four PS3 models.

Microsoft- Two displays full of Xbox 360 games and oddly enough a few Xbox Games like Halo 2. About three kinects and a few 360 S units,

3DS- One case full of mostly 3DS games and a few DS Games with the 3DS and DS game groups into two places. A few 3DS sku's on the bottom.

Wii U- Nothing but Wii Games with Wii U game scattered about in between them. Two Wii U deluxe systems and four Wii mini models.

I might've taken stats in my sophomore year of university, but I remember that a margin of error of 10-15% means you done goofed.

The actual explanation is that they are actually advertising the bloody thing ahead of the quadruple-header of Pikmin 3, retail New Super Luigi U, the White Deluxe and Nintendoland Wiimote bundle this weekend (keeping in mind Nintendoland doesn't come with JP Deluxes).

Pikmin 3 and New Super Luigi U are both being released on Saturday which will cause sales to finally increase since the system hasn't had any games from Nintendo since Game and Wario at the end of March. Some of you really need to do some research before posting stupid **** like this.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on July 11, 2013, 12:16:04 AM: Y so defensive?

the research is done. the numbers are in this thread. The Wii U is failing hard.
Solid concept. mediocre execution. piss poor post launch handling.
I hardly think a downloadable expansion and an strategic/action garden sim :P is really gonna turn the tides for Nintendo in Japan, and much less so everywhere else, especially with the PS4 on the horizon.

I'm not saying the Wii U is dead.... but somebody keep the paddles on stand-by. This is gonna be a rough gen for us Nintendo enthusiast.

Well Nintendo needs to do something other than what it has been doing, because it obviously hasn't been working out all that well.

I don't think it takes an armchair CEO to make that call.

Wii U's first big title of 2013 comes out in Japan and it does... okay numbers for a system that needs far more than that? The Wii U should limp over the one million mark some time in the next few weeks. Level 5's Yokai Watch for the 3DS comes in 2nd with 53.6k and New Super Luigi U places in 5th with 24.8k.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Caterkiller on July 17, 2013, 01:11:49 PM: Did Pikmin only have 2 days in the charts? That's an ok boost for Japan with Pikmin pushing things, expected about that much. What comes out for them next month?

I'm expecting sales to keep up around 10 - 15k for the next few weeks. Not much but its something.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on July 17, 2013, 01:16:12 PM: I'd say those Pikmin first week sales are pretty good considering it's a sequel to a game that is over 9 years old on a currently overpriced system. The original Pikmin also had good legs so Pikmin 3 with good word of mouth might be able to repeat that. Pikmin 1 sold 101k its first week and then went on to eventually sell over 500k total in Japan. Pikmin 3 selling 92k it's first week isn't that much worse so it'll be interesting to see if they can repeat it.

The main thing to watch is where Wii U hardware sales stay. Going from 8k to 22k is still a pretty decent increase for sales. Pikmin's legs will literally determine if the Wii U sales stay closer to 20k now or fall below 10k again in the next month before The Wonderful 101 is released on August 24th.

Post by: Ymeegod on July 18, 2013, 08:44:29 AM: Pikmin was always rated high in Japan but it never sold all that well in any region. Both Pikmin GC games sold around the 1/2 million mark in Japan so you really can't expect high sales.

In fact RTS in general don't sell worth beans on consoles regardless of title.

Unless good games keep coming out, although i agree with you Nintendo need to bring the price down at least 50 dollars.

Nintendo said is sold more than 505k of Animal Crossing in the US in June,with more than 20% digital, comparing with NPD its actually 24%

Nintendo said it sold nearly 225k 3DS in June and was the best selling video game system in the US, up from 115k in May

A pretty good NA debut for Animal Crossing: New Leaf. That big chunk of digital copies sold is impressive.

The Wii U finally crosses the one million mark in Japan. Pikmin 3 holds on to the number 3 spot with a -69% drop from last week's sales. Mario & Luigi 4 barely misses the 100k mark in its first week.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: broodwars on July 24, 2013, 04:18:00 PM: And as expected, down go the Wii U & Pikmin 3 sales the week after it releases. Maybe Wonderful 101 will make that bump last two weeks. Nice start for Mario & Luigi 4, though less than you'd expect for being a Mario handheld RPG.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on July 24, 2013, 08:45:58 PM: I wonder if the low sales of New Super Luigi U mean people bought it digitally.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on July 24, 2013, 08:57:36 PM: No, it means people did not buy it.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on July 24, 2013, 10:06:19 PM: It's cheaper digitally and was available earlier that way, so it seems likely it would have seen significant digital sales.

Agree.
Most of the market that would want Luigi would own NSMBU so it just make sense to get it digitally while its the new Hotness. Part of the reason Nintendo wasn't original going to press discs.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on July 25, 2013, 02:03:41 PM: Yeah the whole point of even giving New Super Luigi a disk was to try and get a few extra sales from people who don't have online in their homes. I'd say Nintendo is probably happy with the physical copy sales since it's an extra 37k that now have the game that probably wouldn't have been able to get it digitally before.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: broodwars on July 25, 2013, 02:11:42 PM: Yeah, I don't think you can judge Luigi U's sales by the physical version. If you owned NSMBU (and most Wii U owners do), there's no reason to pay more for the physical version. The game probably did very well digitally.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on July 25, 2013, 02:30:01 PM: Well according to this report from Nintendo in April, 80% of Wii U owners are connected to the internet.

http://www.gamepolitics.com/2013/04/26/nintendo-80-percent-wii-us-sold-worldwide-are-online (http://www.gamepolitics.com/2013/04/26/nintendo-80-percent-wii-us-sold-worldwide-are-online)

So if 80% of the Wii U userbase is online, I'd imagine Luigi's sales probably have similar percentage with digital making up 80% of them while physical only 20%.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: fiendcode on July 26, 2013, 12:18:58 AM: Pikmin 3 held up well, it's actually a better second week than Pikmin 1 or 2. And that's not even counting digital.

The latest Phoenix Wright game has a very nice first week at the top spot. Dragon's Crown for the PS3 and PSV and The Witch and the Hundred Knights for PS3 follow in the top 4. Fantasy Life: Link!, an updated version of the 3DS game, is ahead of Lego City Undercover for the Wii U.

Post by: Mop it up on July 31, 2013, 05:19:07 PM: A nice opening for Phoenix Wright.

Does anyone know how well previous Mario and Luigi games sold in Japan? Those numbers for Dream Team seem a little low to me, though I don't know what the early numbers were for the previous games.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Khushrenada on July 31, 2013, 06:55:47 PM: I just hope it gets sales like that when it comes to N/A as this is one franchise I don't want to lose and still have hope for an AA Investigations 2 release.

I don't have the Media Create numbers, but according to Famitsu

Superstar Saga

First Week - 63.839

Life time - 438.781

Partners in Time

First Week - 133.229

Lifetime - 417.391

Bowser's Inside Story

First Week - 220.055

Lifetime - 745.701

For Dream Team, Famitsu's first week sales were 108k. So it looks like it's on track to perform like the first 2 games did, but probably won't reach the heights Bowsers Inside Story did unless it has some amazing legs.

Some Disney game I never heard of sells 119k+ and lifts 3DS sales with it. Pikmin 3 and Wii U sales dip down. Killer is Dead, Suda51's latest game, places 5th in its first week with 17k units sold.

EDIT:
Trailer for Disney Magic Castle: My Happy Life.

It looks neat. Like some sort of Disney-themed Animal Crossing.

Disney stays on top while a new One Piece game for 3DS doesn't manage to top Mario and Luigi 4. Ah, apparently the new 3DS game is a port of a PSP game.

Post by: toddra on August 19, 2013, 08:04:04 PM: I will be getting my 3DS by the end of the week. I might be getting a used system but I will be buying new games.

I would consider getting a used Wii U if I could find one at a reasonable price but that current asking price is too much for me at the moment.

The Wonderful 101 has a thud of a debut at the 14th spot, selling less than Pikmin 3. :(
The Vita version of Conception 2 sells a lot more than the 3DS version. Siliconera writes that it may be due to the Vita version being more heavily advertised.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Phil on August 28, 2013, 06:41:50 PM: ;_; Nooooo, TW101. :(

I knew it only had a shipment of 30k, but that's so disappointing... beyond disappointing.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: azeke on August 29, 2013, 12:09:17 AM: Wonderful 101 is one of the greatest games i ever played (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=42496.msg806998#msg806998), so not only i get enjoyment from game itself i also get to think i am one of the very few to do so.

Win-win for me.

I envy americans who will get to play W101 soon and will curse and go WTF at first. Because after that initial shock they will reach that G-spot of action gaming nirvana and the game will start hitting it and ramming it and drilling it repeatedly for many, many, many hours and won't let you go.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on August 29, 2013, 06:46:32 PM: I'm a little surprised at Wonderful 101, it seems like a pretty Japanese-y game to me.

Crazy how it won't be much longer before the 3DS surpasses the Wii...!
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: toddra on August 29, 2013, 07:09:04 PM: I thought it would do better, it is the only game so far released that I was actually looking forward to, so I just figured it was going to be more popular than this. Maybe it will appeal more to US gamers?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: azeke on September 02, 2013, 02:39:43 PM: Apparently Wii U version of Rayman Legends outsold both Xbox360 and PS3 ports in first week in UK.

Ubisoft has once again shook the world with their acute decision making with burning off their fanbase on Nintendo system hoping to gain fanbase on two other systems that was simply not there.

Apparently Wii U version of Rayman Legends outsold both Xbox360 and PS3 ports in first week in UK.

Ubisoft has once again shook the world with their acute decision making with burning off their fanbase on Nintendo system hoping to gain fanbase on two other systems that was simply not there.

Do we have actual numbers there or mere percentages? I wouldn't be surprised if the game sold best on Wii U considering that launch day demo is still the main one on display at game stores, but percentages can be misleading.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: azeke on September 02, 2013, 04:10:02 PM: As far as i remember, percentages are -- Wii U at 45%, Xbox at 30%, PS3 at 18%, or something like that.
Overall, the game bombed, just like Origins did. Or everyone are just waiting it to hit bargain bin/PS+.

There's way too many games coming out now. I would have gladly splurged to get this in February when I was only playing Runner 2. Right now though TW101, Wind Waker HD and Duck Tales Remastered are all higher priorities than Rayman.

Post by: ShyGuy on September 02, 2013, 10:06:48 PM: Would this game even be much of a hit in the UK? I get the impression that British gamers are even more bro-tastic than American gamers. Maybe I should stay Chav-tastic? ;)

I hope you do get on, Ceric. And join Hyperion to boot! It's a very compelling game, and I've never been engrossed by a MMO story before like I've been with ARR. New battle mechanics are smooth, and the new Crossbar system is brilliant. So good, that I've ordered a Wii U Pro Controller USB adapter for my PC - I tire of using this Logitech controller. :/

Off-topic: Oh, and I'm listening to the newest NFR. Keep up the good work!

The retail copy should be tracked. It probably didn't sell a lot. According to Siliconera (http://www.siliconera.com/2013/09/12/disney-infinity-saints-row-4-mario-luigi-and-ff14-were-among-augusts-top-10-sellers/), Tales of Xillia was in the 11th spot.

The latter, and Jojo had some really bad word of mouth (apparently the story mode acts like a F2P mobile game).

You say that as if it's a good thing that the 3DS will be shielding Iwata from his less-than-stellar actions elsewhere. :-\

Well, you know it's a weak month when a Wii U game makes the Top 10, but it IS good to see some new blood on the charts for once. I think this may be the first month since Black Ops 2 released that it wasn't on the charts. It'll be interesting to see how 2-10 end up next month's NPD (we all know what Number 1 will be). I have a feeling Killzone Mercenary and Rayman Legends might sneak onto the charts, hopefully with Puppeteer in tow (though I doubt it).

Getting Monster Hunter 4 as an exclusive was the smartest thing Iwata did this gen. Though long lines could have been for the Vita, just like how Monster Hunter single handedly revived the PSP over there. Instead, Nintendo managed to successfully steal the majority of the PSP's core audience, which is why in Japan the 3DS will probably end up doing better then the DS did.

It's probably like Japan where Nintendo only shipped 30k because they knew the game wasn't going to sell well. So yeah, buying from an online site or downloading it on the eShop is the best option.

Post by: Ceric on September 16, 2013, 05:21:47 PM: Yep, Nintendo of America keeping its hard fought record from Europe of being the worse of the Big 3 Regions.

That game should have been everywhere with promotion. I got my with the $10 credit I had on DDP but I had to make an external harddrive with stuff I had laying around the house to have room for it.

In American terms, if the game ever comes to the West, the Vita will outsell it. ;)

I finally got it after a tiresome search all over the city, i found one last copy and the employee was nice enough to save it for me since at the time i was in class. I know it might sound archaic but until Nintendo changes its online policies and decide to tie games to the account and not the system i will hold off on getting games that way, not counting indie games and virtual consoles.

Post by: Phil on September 17, 2013, 02:50:19 PM: Totally understandable. That's not archaic at all. What's archaic are Nintendo's digital policies and tying software to hardware and not accounts.

Post by: Ymeegod on September 17, 2013, 04:01:56 PM: Rayman Legends looks like another flop. Less than 50K across all three platforms with WIIU leading at 20K. Damn that's not good at all for Ubisoft since Splinter Cell isn't selling much neither, their last hope lies with AC Black Flag and Watchdogs.

Monster Hunter 4 is still dominating, leaving new releases picking up scrapes. The retail version of Final Fantasy 14 shoots back up, probably due to selling out of initial stock. The 3DS has now surpassed the lifetime-to-date unit sales of the Wii.

Probably 800 Zelda fans buying a Wii U in anticipation of Wind Waker HD. Pikmin 3 caused Wii U sales to increase by a few thousand the week before it was released, despite there being no Wii U games on the charts either.

I wonder if Wonderful 101 would have sold a bit more if the name wasn't so "Japanese" cutesy. After Viewitful Joe you would think game companies would rename games coming to NA and Europe.

A title like 101 Heroes might have sold better in the states IMO.

Monster Hunter 4 continues its reign. Wind Waker HD lands in the 7th spot with 30k (behind My Little Sister Can't be this Cute: Happy End) and not pulling in many new Wii U owners. Disney Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion places 18th with 5.5k units sold.

Other big games last week were Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Flash (PS3/PSV), Warriors Orochi 3: Ultimate (PS3/PSV), and Armored Core: Verdict Day (PS3/360).

I be very surprised if the Puppeteer and Wonderful 101 don't have almost exactly the same number. Though we probably don't have digital for either of those.

Lets be honest we all knew that GTA was going to make a lot of white noise this time around.

Granted, Zelda's always sold better in the West and consoles in general are dead on arrival in Japan nowadays, but that has to be a hard blow. I'll be interesting to see how well 3D World does now.

What? When you consider that you spend the majority of Wind Waker trying to save your "cute" sister, it makes perfect sense that those two games would sell about the same number of copies. :P:

Not to be left out here is my Contribution with Fun with Math. (I use to do this with these stats all the time.)

Platform Game Sold This Week Percent Platform Owners
PSV The Legend Of Heroes: Sen no Kiseki 81,622 4.43%
WIU The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD 30,264 2.79%

PSP Starry Sky: After Winter Portable 6,074 0.03%
PSP Meiji Toukyou Renka 5,963 0.03%

Wind Waker is among the top for this weeks in regards to share of platform holders purchasing. Assuming that the same percentage bought the game if it had shown up on other platforms the number would have looked like this.

3DS: 359,578
PS3: 265,080
PSV: 51,366
WiiU: 30,264
PSP: 558,118
WII: 354,354
360: 45,575

I don't think getting over 2% of the platform is bad this week.

Post by: Luigi Dude on October 04, 2013, 02:56:04 PM: Well Nintendo didn't exactly do Wind Waker HD any favors by announcing these new bundles last week, just a few days before the game was released.

(http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wiiu/hardware/familyset/img/set02_photo.png)
Both bundles come out on October 31st, and contain the Wii U games the Japanese audience will actually care about. Buying one of these bundles save well over $100 rather then what buying a Wii U and all the games by themselves would normally cost.

So if you're a Japanese Nintendo fan who hasn't bought a Wii U yet, there's really no reason to buy one until October 31st since these bundles contain games they really want and saves them money in the long run as well.

Post by: Ian Sane on October 04, 2013, 04:42:59 PM: Wind Waker is a re-release and I think it is kind of silly to expect such a title to move consoles, particularly when the original version is playable on the Wii. You don't need a Wii U to play Wind Waker. I think re-releases are more effective in padding a release schedule, to get some impulse buys out of the converted. Did Nintendo expect EarthBound to sell Wii U's because that's a re-release of a game that is much harder to find an original copy of and required hardware that had been out of print for like 15 years? There is a greater justification for buying a new system for it. However you can buy a console that plays Wind Waker in stores right now in the Wii. Used Wind Waker copies are also neither rare or expensive. Wind Waker HD costs more money than an old copy, compared to the Wii U version of EarthBound which is peanuts compared to the very expensive SNES version.

But one game is a virtual console title and the other is a retail title being given the marketing push that a brand new title would receive so there are expectations for one and not the other. Realistically they should be seen as comparable - a side salad but not the main course.

Zowy, they just said "throw in everything" didn't they? 2 or 3 games and a Wiimote+? I want it.

I hope Wii U picks up considerably but I honestly don't think it will with any of Nintendo's current franchises. I suppose if the online on smash is amazing people might go nuts for it but it's going to take a brand new off the wall, every day life activity game that is a seemingly forgettable title to do that.

Or Wii Sports and Mario Kart we'll see.

If that NSMB bundle happens then I would imagine that it would still be $300 since it doesn't include Nintendo Land. A Wii Fit U bundle like what I think should happen would be a bit trickier, though, as the game without the board is $20. If they don't include the board with the bundle then they would have to include something else in the box (Wii Party U is a good choice), but if they do include the board they may want to charge more than $300.

FYI Ian, new Wiis do not include the ability to play Gamecube games. So no, you cannot buy a Wii off the shelf and be able to play Wind Waker. The only way to do that is to buy a used one. :)

Wind Waker is a re-release and I think it is kind of silly to expect such a title to move consoles, particularly when the original version is playable on the Wii. You don't need a Wii U to play Wind Waker. I think re-releases are more effective in padding a release schedule, to get some impulse buys out of the converted. Did Nintendo expect EarthBound to sell Wii U's because that's a re-release of a game that is much harder to find an original copy of and required hardware that had been out of print for like 15 years? There is a greater justification for buying a new system for it. However you can buy a console that plays Wind Waker in stores right now in the Wii. Used Wind Waker copies are also neither rare or expensive. Wind Waker HD costs more money than an old copy, compared to the Wii U version of EarthBound which is peanuts compared to the very expensive SNES version.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 12, 2013, 05:12:07 PM: There are reports saying that Wind Waker HD has boosted Wii U sales by 685%. I assume that means they sold 137 consoles as opposed to 20 last week.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: ymeegod on October 14, 2013, 02:57:49 PM: With the price discount and Zelda bundles the WII U sold decent last week. Ended up getting the basic WII U unit myself (2nd hand for $180) and another Black/Nintendoland (new for $210 after employee discount and markdown (store return unopened).

Pokémon is selling like mad in Japan, freaking selling out in most retailers within the first few hours of availability and some stores didn't even have enough units to cover pre-orders? Not sure what Nintendo was doing, but it sounds like the game undershipped which could be intentionally on Big N part to increase E-shop sales for the game?

The pre-order numbers in the states had Pokémon at 1/2 million mark, which reminds me I never finished an single Pokémon to date :( .

-------------
The Vita continues to sell poorly even with the new models coming out. Had some pics of the "wait" line for the Vita 2000 but it was like 4-10 people in most lines. Depressing.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: ymeegod on October 14, 2013, 04:55:53 PM: That was at my local Target using a friends ID and CC info (10%off). Basically the Black WII U was an "online return" item so it was marked down 30%. I was just in the right place at the right time :0 usually I only see returned xbox 360's or ps3 this was the first time I seen an WII U and it was the only one.

The Black WII U is going to a friends kid, he asked me to buy one cheap for him.

But yeah, if you see an sticker that states "online return" at target there's usually an discount of some amount.

This was pretty much expected. Also, Pokemon X/Y has sold 4 million copies worldwide. GTAV debuts with 360k on the PS3 and 26k on the 360. The Playstation Vita receives a bump in sales with the release of the 2000 series model and it should easily clear 2 million units sold by the end of the year.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: ShyGuy on October 18, 2013, 01:55:20 AM: September NPD:

Here's the top ten selling software products for September:

1. Grand Theft Auto 5 (360, PS3)
2. Madden NFL 25 (360, PS3)
3. NBA 2k14 (360, PS3, PC)
4. Diablo 3 (360, PS3, PC)**
5. FIFA 14 (360, PS3, Vita)
6. Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix (PS3)
7. Disney Infinity (360, Wii, PS3, Wii U, 3DS)
8. NHL 14 (360, PS3)
9. Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition (360)
10. Saints Row 4 (360, PS3, PC)

Suprised to see the Diablo 3 year and half old port debut so high, but so did the HD version of Kingdom Hearts. Never under-estimate gamers desire to only buy things they are familar with.

Disney Infinity was reportedly insanely expensive to develop and got a lot of push for only #7, but I expect it to have a long tail.

Inferior version Minecraft is still hanging on. Undoubtedly one the games of the generation.

Indeed, which is why Nintendo's franchises have hung around for so long. ::)

I'm disappointed (but not surprised) to see that Killzone Mercenary and Puppeteer couldn't escape the economic singularity that is ~~GTA 5~~ KIRBY'S EPIC YARN. They're both excellent games that were just out at the wrong time with next to no marketing from Sony, as usual. I'm likewise not surprised to see that Wonderful 101 bombed in NA just as it did in Japan, nor do I feel that it was undeserved.

The original Kingdom Hearts is not a good game, but the 1.5 HD Collection is a good deal if you want to get in on the franchise at the ground level in preparation for the upcoming 2.5 HD Collection with the 2 best games in the series (KH2 and Birth By Sleep) and KH 3 (whenever it releases 4-5 years down the road).

Rayman sold about 70k with Wii U (again) being dominant version making for 55% of purchases.

TW101 sold pitifully 20k but even then it managed to outsell Rayman ports for 360 and PS3.

Combined.

...

"Well done", Ubisoft.

And no matter what, well done, Kamiya, for making one of the best games ever.

Post by: ShyGuy on October 18, 2013, 09:45:24 AM: I bet they could have made a 100k sales by now if Rayman had launched on the Wii U in February.

I'm betting that Deus Ex and probably Watch Dogs are going to suffer in the same way.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 18, 2013, 10:39:38 AM: According to NPD, Wii U sales tripled in September compared to August - and that's with the price cut only being active for half of the month. Nintendo should have cut the price a year ago...when it launched...and then cut it again last month. You simply cannot compete with a console that is going to get way more 3rd party titles, is miles ahead in power, and only retails for $50 more. They finally realized that, but they should have figured it out long ago.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 18, 2013, 10:42:14 AM: And here's another thing Nintendo needs to stop doing - stop bundling their consoles with first party games - people will buy them anyway. Work out a deal and bundle your console with Arkham Origins or Call of Duty: Ghosts, the NES/SNES/N64 days are long over - if you want to help 3rd party developers, make an effort to push their games.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: ShyGuy on October 18, 2013, 12:01:35 PM: I get the impression that pretty much any third party AAA developer expects some form of Subsidy for bringing their game to a platform.

Paid ads, bundles, money hats for timed exclusives, money hats for exclusive DLC.

I don't think this kind of market is sustainable in the long run, but in the short term, payola is required to get a port.

If it was just a matter of sales, we would see a lot more third party games on the 3DS.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 18, 2013, 12:18:51 PM: Honestly Nintendo needs to to a Watch Dogs bundle or something and do a big promotion showing how Wii U is the best way to play the game. They should have aggressively gone after GTAV and did the same thing with it.

Well if they had released it on time, I would have bought it on release (so that's 1 lost/delayed sale), as that's back when I used to use my Wii U (for things not streaming video related).

I find that often the other guys will have a bundle that comes with a game that I don't want and it comes across like forcing the consumer to buy junk. Nintendo's first party bundles seems more like putting the game people actually want in the bundle so that the consumer gets a deal. It's consumer-friendly vs. publisher-friendly.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on October 18, 2013, 01:47:32 PM: Options are good. With digital distribution now prominent on Nintendo consoles they should allow you to 'create your own bundle'. Pick any game and accessory with your console purchase. That would bee good for the consumer.

I'm not saying Call of Duty is the most important game or anything, but I'm sure it would help sell consoles and games if they did it that way.

Let's face facts about Japan. Japan gaming is now primarily a mobile/handheld market. Traditional "living room gaming" went out like a fad some time ago.

Now imagine if the Wii U was a hybrid console where the controller was also a stand-alone system that wirelessy attached to the base for at home big screen gaming.

Or what if the next big handheld stole a concept like the Chromecast and was able to wirelessly just display up on the big screen when you were at home, using the handheld itself as the touch screen display. The only thing left to figure out is if the base unit still accepts disc, or do they both accept proprietary cards that go in the handheld?

Post by: Khushrenada on October 24, 2013, 04:38:02 PM: There's probably a reason Nintendo is putting their handheld and console hardware engineers together. Going by the Japanese market and other technology trends, that very thing may yet be a possibility.

1. Consolidated Operating Results

Nintendo continues to pursue its basic strategy of “Gaming Population Expansion” by offering compelling products that anyone can enjoy, regardless of age, gender or gaming experience.

During the six months ended September 30, 2013, Nintendo continued to experience strong sales in the Japanese market for “Nintendo 3DS (3DS, 3DS XL and 2DS),” as “Tomodachi Collection,” released in April in Japan, marked 1.63 million units in sales, while there have also been hit titles from third-party publishers. In the overseas markets, “Animal Crossing: New Leaf,” released in June in the Unites States and Europe, sold 2.01 million units (2.49 million units worldwide), while titles such as “Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon,” released in the previous fiscal year, and “Mario & Luigi: Dream Team” and “Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D,” both released in the current fiscal year, showed steady sales. As a result, the global sales of the “Nintendo 3DS” hardware and software reached 3.89 million and 27.38 million units respectively.

With respect to “Wii U,” Nintendo released the key first-party title “Pikmin 3” in July in Japan and Europe, and in August in the United States, as well as another key first-party title “The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD” in September in Japan and the United States, but the global sales of the “Wii U” hardware and software reached only 0.46 million and 6.30 million units respectively.

Regarding “Nintendo DS (DS, DS Lite, DSi and DSi XL),” the worldwide sales of its hardware and software were
0.10 million and 5.25 million units respectively. Also, the sales of the “Wii” hardware and software were 0.47 million and 14.90 million units respectively.

Net sales as a result were 196.5 billion yen (of which overseas sales were 129.1 billion yen, or 65.7% of the total sales). The “Wii U” hardware still has a negative impact on Nintendo’s profits, owning mainly to its markdown in the United States and Europe, leading to a gross profit of 62.0 billion yen. The operating loss was 23.2 billion yen as total selling, general and administrative expenses exceeded gross profit due to enhancements in advertising activities to increase sales, and research and development for the “Wii U” software among others. As a result of exchange gains totaling 18.3 billion yen due to depreciation of the yen at the end of this period compared with the one at the end of the last fiscal year, ordinary income was 1.2 billion yen and net income was 0.6 billion yen.

Still an operating loss.
Nintendo plans to accelerate digital distribution and reduce hardware costs as some ways to increase profits.

Fixed. Marketing's a serious problem with the Wii U, but the lack of games and the total lack of belief that the Wii U has a future beyond Smash Bros. next year is a far bigger one.

Well the NSMB U bundles come out soon and Mario 3D World gaining a lot of hype. Since Nintendo always gets a huge boast during the holiday, it's still a good chance they'll sell another 5 million Wii U. They sold over 3 million Wii U's last holiday and that was at $350 with the only major game NSMB U. Well this holiday it'll be $300 with NSMB bundled together along with some other titles that are bigger then most of the games they had last fall.

So selling 5 million Wii U's during the 2013 holiday worldwide isn't that unrealistic of a goal.

Yeah, Power Pro's was definitely one of my most played Wii games for a few years. It's a shame it stopped coming out in the US since it was pretty easy to pick up and get into yet had tons of depth for long term play.

Post by: Enner on November 05, 2013, 05:02:31 PM: Second quarter investor Q&A is now in English.
http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/131031qa/index.html (http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/131031qa/index.html)

Interesting bits:

The timing of the Nintendo 2DS:
"Generally speaking, it takes approximately one and a half years before we can bring a new hardware system onto the market, and we already realized beforehand that it would be difficult to maximize the sales potential of Nintendo 3DS without an entry-level product ready in time for the release of a new Pokémon title. "

On third parties:
"In terms of how we view our relationship with third-party publishers, I think it is natural that there is a difference between publishers who have the software development resources like Nintendo’s to build a software lineup of their own and publishers who do not. Since former President Yamauchi passed away, I have been considering what he taught us in the end, and his words that the worst thing we can do in entertainment is to follow what others are doing spoke directly to my heart. Following and imitating others is the kind of reasoning that Nintendo tries to avoid the most, and while we certainly do not have a negative attitude toward strengthening our ties with third-party publishers, employing the same methodology as the other manufacturers would only lead to the most simplistic competitive approaches, such as price wars or money-giving that would never end. We would like to take a unique approach of our own and build sustainable relationships with our third-party publishers."

On legacy content/previous assets:
"In terms of taking greater advantage of our previous assets, I feel that there are two points to consider. As we first began to do on Wii, one method would be to release games for our previous consoles, such as Nintendo Entertainment System or Super Nintendo Entertainment System, on other Nintendo consoles as Virtual Console games. While Wii U and Nintendo 3DS already offer Virtual Console software, I feel that we have not been able to take full advantage of our assets yet, so we would like to enrich our Virtual Console lineup. As the ability to digitally offer our products has given us greater flexibility in offering new propositions to our consumers, we should naturally consider these possibilities in the future. The other point is, as you mentioned, whether we should release our games on smart devices. At the moment, however, we believe a more balanced approach would be to use our content to increase the value of our hardware as opposed to distributing it on smart devices, and therefore, we have no plans to release Nintendo content on smart devices."

Since becoming the CEO of Nintendo of America:
"In a variety of senses, we are now facing a big turn of the tide, particularly with respect to digitalizing our business. When it comes to systematically marketing packaged software including its distribution, I can say that Nintendo of America is the most advanced among all the distribution divisions/subsidiaries of the company. On the other hand, perfection may sometimes cause an issue when a drastic environmental change has taken place. For our distribution divisions/subsidiaries, in order to initiate a great change ourselves, it is critical to learn from our counterparts around the world and locally implement their best practices and turn the PDCA* cycle quickly. I feel that the process of learning from Japan and Europe and thereby changing in accordance with the changing times while, at the same time, making use of the existing advantages Nintendo of America possesses, has certainly become quicker in comparison to how it was before, when I was communicating indirectly with people at Nintendo of America. We would like to show some tangible results during the year-end sales season.

*PDCA stands for Plan-Do-Check-Act and is an iterative method in business for continuous improvement for processes."

Nintendo has around 5,000 employees and does not plan to fire any of them in the foreseeable future:
"If you believe that there is no possibility of Nintendo’s results improving, then you would be right about it being necessary to review the structure of the workforce and the company itself to match the scale of the business. However, I believe that there are upward and downward swings in the video game business, that Nintendo has the potential to be a larger-scale business, and that in order to achieve that potential, good developers, localization capability and the ability to sell overseas are necessary. We need a company with a lot of muscle, but a company that also has no excess fat – one that makes smart spending decisions. Restructuring the workforce is not the first option we consider even when cost cutting is required. I would like you to understand that this is because we do not see a dark future for Nintendo."

On the company shares held by the late Mr. Yamauchi:
"First of all, please understand that the first 49 days* after his death have not yet passed and, accordingly, there is nothing concrete we can say as to what we might do. However, I received a similar question when we made the financial announcements yesterday at the Osaka Securities Exchange, and I answered by saying that, if the bereaved family approaches the company with a proposal regarding the inheritance, and if there is something we can do to cooperate, we are willing to do so. For the benefit of all of our shareholders, we are willing to cooperate if needed so as not to disturb our stock price as a result of his large stake in the company being released onto the market at once. Please understand, however, it would be only after the bereaved family contacted us to discuss this subject and, once again, if they do so, it will probably be only after the 49th day. I myself want the company to appropriately do what it has to do in order to not cause trouble for everyone, and I believe that the company has the fiscal ability to do so if needed.

*In Buddhism, the first 49 days after one’s death are regarded as an especially solemn mourning period."

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: smallsharkbigbite on November 05, 2013, 09:27:25 PM: Well even if he technically didn't have "control" he has significant influence with 10-20% and can make life hard on the board if they didn't listen to him.

3rd parties is the one thing I strongly disagree with Nintendo on. Microsoft/Sony pick exclusives to moneyhat and they let most games go to both systems since they know they can't buy everything. They just try to get the best bang for their buck and get something that benefits both parties. Microsoft moneyhatted GTA4 because that was a crucial time and it led to many people picking a 360 over a PS3. You won't find anything specific but I guess they view that as $50M well spent. They didn't moneyhat GTA5 because the 360 is at it's end of life. It's not going to sell significantly more systems and they are starting to shift resources to the Xbox One. PS3 didn't moneyhat it either but they both go the game while the Wii U did not. Not because of some secret vendetta. It was because Sony/Microsoft have courted those games and developed a userbase that scoops up those games while Nintendo has not.

Their version of "sustainable relations" is about as sustaining as me and Jennifer Aniston's relationship. She doesn't call, visit, care, or know I exist at all. I see that sustaining for a long while.

I see not doing the same things from a game development standpoint smart. You have to keep coming up with different game experiences to keep people excited and bring them back. Trying to copy Halo 4 is a terrible idea even though it is a very popular game. I find not copying well designed business plans (online gaming, getting third parties involved, reward programs PSN/Xbox with free games) just stupid. It's not visionary to have a 2013 console that has the online infrastructure of a 2003 console at all. I don't see the rationale behind that. I don't see the rationale that the Wii U has enough first party support to avoid 3rd parties.

The VC talk seems like rah rah corporate speak. I've had the same problem with VC since the first year it was released on the Wii and it hasn't been corrected at all.

If the 2DS took a year and half to come to market, I wonder if they are already working on a Wii U successor.

Marketing is a funny bird. Usually you have a window of time to get a product to become "it" and if you miss that window consumers are over the product. I think the Wii U missed that opportunity. Not saying it's impossible but I don't recall a home console ever overcoming a poor start. The PS2/Xbox360 had slower (not Wii U slow) first years because they didn't have enough boxes to sell. That's about as close as it's come. Sure the DS/3DS are models in the handheld arena but there is a supreme lack of competition in that arena. It's hard to tell people that this game console that everybody has ignored for a year is the hot new thing. The PS4/Xbox One have a solid launch of titles and the PS3/360 have a much better selection at a cheaper price. The Wii U is just not in an enviable spot right now even if it has an okay selection of games at this point.

If you can hit on another game/peripheral as a hot thing, then the Wii U becomes a conduit to that.

The new Wii U bundles bring quite an uptick to sales. Now the question is how long it will keep. The new Little Battlers game by Level 5 debuts at #3 with 50k units sold. Wii Party U sells 37k for a 6th place spot.

To have caught it this week, with MH4 selling nothing, Pkm would have had to sell 240k units
At current sales rates, it looks like it won't catch it until the week after next.
If MH4 were to sell nothing next week, Pkm would still need 141k units sold to match it.

According to @GibboGame:
Quote from: David Gibson
Japan - Pokemon X/Y sold another 138k last week to take total to 3.1m with 94% sell through so hard to find.

There should be enough demand for Pokemon to easily surpass Monster Hunter 4. Nintendo didn't make enough game cards or distribute them most effectively.

Either way this IS the highest WiiU sales have ever been in Japan all year. Honestly, though, I don't see it being just another spike. With Mario 3D being marketed there and that guaranteed to push systems, I'd say the system is getting back on the right track there.

Huh. Didn't know Japan liked Battlefield that much.
Your (annoying?) doomsayer's fuel for this week is Wii U sales dropping more than half from last week to this week.
From rough guessing, Pokemon X/Y should surpass Monster Hunter 4 in one or two weeks.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on November 13, 2013, 07:21:15 PM: Who knew GTAV would sell that many copies? Seems like BF4 getting 1/5th of those sales is not a stretch. I remember COD games selling over 100k in Japan so BF4 getting that many seems about right.

Post by: Ian Sane on November 14, 2013, 12:30:45 PM: So last week's Wii U sales were a spike but it didn't go back down to the level it was two weeks ago. This week's sales would have been considered a significant spike in comparison to two weeks ago. So the 38000 wasn't the new trend but things still are much better over the last two weeks than they were. It'll be interesting to see next week's and get a better idea of where things are going.

Well the one advantage this latest spike has is Mario 3D World is being released soon so the sales should jump again for that week, and then the December holiday season starts soon after that which always boast Nintendo hardware sales in Japan as well.

It really won't be until January that we see what the new baseline for the system in Japan will be since they once again have nothing being released that month and it's a non-holiday so sales will get lower, so that month will show us just how low they will get with the current bundle and games.

The top ten best selling software for October was the following:

1. Grand Theft Auto V (360, PS3)
2. Pokémon X (3DS)
3. Pokémon Y (3DS)
4. Battlefield 4 (360, PS3, PC)
5. Batman: Arkham Origins (360, PS3, Wii U, PC)
6. Assassin’s Creed IV, Black Flag (360, PS3, Wii U)
7. NBA 2K14 (360, PS3, PC)
8. Skylanders: Swap Force (Wii, 360, PS3, Wii U, 3DS)
9. Lego Marvel Super Heroes (360, PS3, Wii U, 3DS, PC)
10. WWE 2K14 (360, PS3)

The 3DS was the best selling video game hardware with 452,000 units sold.

Post by: broodwars on November 15, 2013, 02:29:04 AM: No surprise at seeing GTA at #1, though I am a little disappointed at the rest of the lineup there. And WTF are Pokemon X/Y doing as 2 separate entries? They're the same ****ing game, just with half the content locked behind arbitrary unlock codes.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: ymeegod on November 15, 2013, 10:57:26 AM: Pokémon still hit the multimillion seller though (something like 3+ million) so I'm pretty sure Nintendo's extremely happy about it.

I recalled when NPD used to actually have a decent list of numbers available to the public but the way they list things now it's basically worthless now. If you don't recall years ago they used to list the top 25 games for each system separate with sale numbers. Nowadays you'll have to settle with "leaked" numbers :( .
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on November 15, 2013, 05:41:21 PM: I'm surprised they separated Pokémon X/Y since I didn't think they did that, but I think it makes sense. It gives a more accurate idea of what the games are actually selling... or it would if we had some numbers.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on November 15, 2013, 06:18:05 PM: I recall seeing Pokémon split in sales charts for past releases. From a store perspective they're two different products. Just because we know better doesn't mean a bean counter will know otherwise.

God Eater 2 for the Playstation Vita takes the top spot and proves that Japan still loves MonHun clones (Collaborative Battle Games or whatever term Sony used for their TGS presentation). God Eater 2 helped the Vita to sell 88k units; 42k of them being the new Vita TV home console.

On the Nintendo side of things, Pokemon is within a few hairs of surpassing MonHun 4. The Band Brothers sequel and and a new Medabot game slot in the lower top 10. The Wii U pulls in 15.9k, down from the previous week of 17.7k.

It's a Monster Hunter clone. It's listed twice because there's a Vita and PSP version of the game. The Vita version is number 1 while the PSP version number 4.

Have you tried playing Mario 64 DS on 3DS. Circle Pad kinda sorta adds "analog" control into the game retroactively. You can still feel it's 4–way underneath it but at least it's a bit more convenient.

On the othe other hand i started playing with DS port and didn't had too many problems even with D-pad.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on November 30, 2013, 11:23:57 PM: The D-Pad feels uncomfortable on my thumb when I use it for 3D movement. And I've tried it with Okamiden and it is a bit frustrating to have to deal with the '4-way' underneath in that game. Plus Mario 64 DS still runs for $25-30 so I'm fine waiting for a bit to see what we get in the near future. I'm just hopeful we get something in the near future.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: azeke on November 30, 2013, 11:38:35 PM: I really doubt that should remake happens it will be cheaper that that. Your best bet is waiting for M64 hitting Wii U VC which is gonna be 10$ but then you'd lose additional stars and slight graphical upgrade from DS game.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on November 30, 2013, 11:47:30 PM: The point isn't price for me. I don't want to spend 25-30 to get the DS version if we get a 3DS or WiiU port in the next year. I technically own the N64 version but it is on long-term loan to a friend (he's had it for years, I really should try and get it back). I mostly want the DS version for the new content.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on December 02, 2013, 10:50:23 AM: Wii U is gonna be another GameCube, if we're lucky. It probably won't even do as well as the GameCube. The Wii U is what the Wii should have been back in 2006, and there's really no reason they couldn't have done it (maybe without the GamePad). They aren't using any new processing technology, it's the same chipset (basically) that they've been using since the GameCube. If Nintendo would have released this more powerful console when they should have I bet the current console market would be vastly different.

I agree with this. Release the Wii U in 2010 and it would probably have been quite successful. But a PS360 equivalent released a mere year before everyone and their dog knew the PS4 and XB1 were coming out? You know how the Dreamcast lost out largely because of the looming release of the PS2 a year later? Now imagine if the Dreamcast's hardware was the equivalent of the N64 and you have an idea of what the Wii U realistically is. And Nintendo did so little with their year head start they might as well have come out at the same time.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on December 02, 2013, 04:18:06 PM: Releasing the system earlier wouldn't have solved the biggest issues the Wii U had which is price and lack of games. Nintendo released the 3DS when the DS was still selling great and yet the higher price tag and lack of games still hurt that system as well.

If Nintendo had released the Wii U in 2010 or 2011 at $350 with the only title with mass appeal being NSMB U and then having no other major releases until Mario 3D World, a full year after launch, probably wouldn't made sales that much better then they are now.

The best thing Nintendo could have done was invest more in creating new studio's and expanding their older ones back in 2008/2009 so when the Wii U was released in 2012, there wasn't the insane droughts. People have to remember that the Wii U actually had a good launch in America and Japan during holiday 2012. Games like Pikmin 3 while lacking in huge appeal, at least would have done better right after launch and helped to still give the system some more momentum after the good holiday versus literally having nothing like Nintendo did.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on December 02, 2013, 04:33:02 PM: I think an earlier launch would have resulted in better third party support. If there had been more time left for the 360 and PS3 I think publishers would have been more likely to devote the resources to being able to put multiplatform releases on the Wii U.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on December 02, 2013, 04:44:02 PM: I'm really tired of the whole "Wii U price be too much in <insert Year>" argument.

I want to live in the land you guys live in. Seriously. I just had to drop $300+ at Home Depot to just wire 4 outlets, 3 Network Jacks, and my Speakers around the living room. The PS3 AND XBox 360 were still selling around those prices. We all love a $100 system. If thats the case why don't you all have Ouya's and 2DS's? I mean for $100 you can't really get a crappy desktop. Shoot Smartphones are subsidized to $100. The whole price argument is a Strawman argument at best.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: ShyGuy on December 02, 2013, 05:08:14 PM: The average "hard core" gamer has really narrow tastes. They are the equivalent of somebody who only watches Summer Blockbuster movies.

The only "summer blockbusters" they will give five seconds attention to on a Nintendo platform are Mario, Zelda and Metroid. They don't think a handful of games is worth the platform cost. They ignore everything else.

Personally, it sounds like a horrible way to live your gaming life, but what do I know? Call of Duty Ghosts made a billion dollars.

Post by: Ian Sane on December 02, 2013, 05:39:50 PM: I think we've got a couple problems here. I think part of why the Wii U is failing is because no one wanted a PS360 equivalent in 2012. The Wii U is embarrassingly out of date and the time where such a thing might have been marketable was years before, around the time WiiMania started trailing off. I think another factor is that Nintendo launched the Wii U after a good two years of being borderline irrelevant in the console market. The last few years of the Wii were incredibly sparse which didn't do any favours in building up interest in a Wii successor.

And then there are the software droughts Luigi Dude mentioned. They could have launched it at any time, really, and if they stuck of their slow trickle of titles it would have been an uphill battle though I agree that it probably have done better with third parties. Nintendo went from releasing practically nothing on the Wii to practically nothing on the Wii U. I still can't comprehend how Skyward Sword and NSMB U were so damn taxing on Nintendo. So Nintendo learned the hard way that HD games take time and money to make, which is something literally every other console developer in the entire world learned years ago.

I think Nintendo has just bungled a lot of stuff involving the Wii U. It's a combination of many very serious mistakes.

Post by: shingi_70 on December 02, 2013, 09:38:39 PM: Nintendo made a half assed PS360 at that. They couldn't make a system that competed with the last gen systems, so most ignored it too wait on the PS4/Xbone.

to Ian's point i'm a bit perplexed why didn't Nintendo decide to use some of their sweet sweet Wii cash to invest in more studios or try and build third party relations. Hell Microsoft went and invested a bit much into first party studios and working with second party developers in the last few years or so.

Finally I feel Nintendo shot themselves in the foot by launching last year. They put out a system that failed to impress and barley got any of what the other two systems at the time. So when a big third party release would hit like Bioshock or GTA the system was left out. At the same time MS/Sony announced their new hardware and since E3 they've been the main conversation ever since.

Nintendo decided not to bend to the third party Whims which was bad but made up for it with great indie support. Now the PS4 is the main indie console and the Xbox Team is making serious grounds to make up for not hitting indies.

Its a bit sad but the Wii U is the only major console that I would tell a person not to get.

Post by: Mannypon on December 02, 2013, 09:56:41 PM: I think I'm the only one that thinks this WiiU situation was unavoidable for Nintendo regardless of what they did. All Nintendo could've done better was release their games and more of them on time to fill in the gaps and have system selling software earlier. 3rd parties, IMO, are dead on arrival for the WiiU and Nintendo home hardware in general (from the start). Even if the WiiU was spec to spec with the PS4, it wouldn't have made a difference. Sure, 3rd parties would've probably put in some more support at launch, but I highly doubt many people would have bought into them anyway. Thus we would be where we are now again, with 3rd parties nearly abandoning Nintendo. Most "hardcore" gamers made up their mind a long time ago on what systems they were buying, and that was either the PS4 or XboxOne. I think Nintendo's biggest problem is not so much the hardware but their image. Nintendo has not been looked at fondly by the general gaming crowd for years. It might even stem back all the way to the Nintendo 64. The gamers that flock to Madden and CoD never give Nintendo a second look regardless of what they are doing. They are the "casual hardcore" which image matters very much. They are the ones you hear talking nonsense at Gamestop proving their blind loyalty to Sony/MS. Or they are the ones oblivious to anything else outside of their PS/Xbox world as their systems satisfy their needs so hey have not needed to look elsewhere.

Nintendo matching the PS4/Xbone would have left them worse off IMO as that would've resulted in a slightly more expensive system. Nintendo did what they had to do, which I believe was the only logical choice. Release a system just capable enough to put out nice looking games within their budget. Whats the point of having PS4 specs if Nintendo themselves will more than likely never tap into all of it due to their own design methods and because they'll never fund the millions it takes for AAA titles like The Last of US to really show off those specs?

Nintendo was banking on the Wii crowd carrying over to the WiiU thus their decision to keep a similar name and design. It burned them bad. At this point, all they can do is put out there software and try and retain as much of the Nintendo faithful as possible while hoping to pull in a few new customers in the process. I think if they break even or pull slim profits, that could be considered a win given the situation they are in.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on December 03, 2013, 12:30:42 PM: The more I think about it, the more I realize that Nintendo was really blinded by the Wii's fad-like success. The Wii was so successful and it didn't need up-to-date hardware, didn't need a steady release schedule and didn't need third party support. So why should Nintendo bother improving any of these things they apparently don't need? The problem is that they based this on the first few years of the Wii's life instead of the last. They also made the naïve assumption that success means you did everything right. Those three things I mentioned are things the Wii succeeded despite of. It wasn't like bad third party was a key part of the Wii's success and that if it was better the whole Wii frenzy would never have happened. In any success there are the things you did right and the things you screwed up that thankfully didn't do you in.

maybe next year, or never. one of those. maybe... who knows?
Nintendo's thought process is never one of apparent sound logic, so maybe they already released it, but in such limited quantities that it will one day show up at GameStop as a limited rerelease at jacked up prices. Then *SE can complain how they game didn't do well in NA and Nintendo won't be getting the sequel.

or maybe we will get the full game with all the expansions. GOTY edition **sometime in 2015/2016 long after we put our Wii U's aside to play with our PS4's/Xbox1's & 4DS's, then *

or maybe they are porting the Wii version to the 3DS with all the expansions intact and will release it **

I really don't like the way SE is treating DQ as a franchise, it was better, when they use to release one game every four or five years.

Vita continues to disappoint--sub 100K--might as well be dead.

PS4 numbers/Xbox One would have been higher but supply was limited--which is surprising since there wasn't really that "must buy" title for the holidays for neither systems.

Saying the consumers need fixing is BS to the maximum degree. Its Nintendo's job to not only build a product that will sasfity third party development, but build games that get people interested into their system.

A 2D Platformer
three party games
two games visually similar in Pikmin and W101
Half hearted versions of the wii brand of software. (im cool with it)

For all the talk of the gaming industry being blnd both Microsoft and Sony not only have their big AAA games, but also have stuff like Wonderbook and Kinectsports as well both putting more Arcady gaming software on their digital stores.

Nintendo needed to build up more software developers years ago but they're to far stuck their own buts, they don't realize their console is dead in all three major regions and the 3DS has clearly seen signs of contracting.

Post by: Mannypon on December 15, 2013, 02:18:30 PM: I'm not blaming them exclusively for the WiiU's problems but there is merit in what I'm saying. We live in a world where the Jersey Shore, Toddler's and Tiaras, and other television "shows" of the like are yearly hits, obviously you can make an argument the consumers need fixing. This is no different in the video game market. The big sellers are always GTA, CoD,or any of usual big budget affairs. Those games are good in their own right but it doesn't make them any better than what Nintendo has put out on the WiiU. Fun is fun regardless, if the consumer can't see or appreciate the fun in Mario World, Pikmin, the Wonderful 101 then they are uninformed and/or have their own prejudices towards those games or Nintendo in general.

All Nintendo can do is make the games they know how to make, more of them, and advertise them better but I think that will only go so far. The games they make don't seem to be appreciated by and large by this type of market. They can advertise Mario 24/7 on every channel and I still don't see how it'll make your typical CoD player want to pick it up. It might make someone else who is on the fence with gaming or returning to gaming but, IMO, it won't do much to make the majority of the market jump into Nintendo's camp.

This isn't the 90s anymore where gameplay trumped all as most games looked somewhat the same at that time. The industry has been commercialized, again, gone Hollywood, its all flash now. That's why most trailers don't even show gameplay anymore outside Nintendo's own. I'd even go so far as to say FF7 was the earliest attempt at this. It got millions of people to buy the game off the trailer alone to then find out the game looked nothing like it in action. Anyways, let me get off my soup box lol, I've said enough.

Post by: ShyGuy on December 15, 2013, 06:28:43 PM: I think a lot of gamers hoped that the expansion of gaming at the start of last generation would increase the userbase enough that even niche games could find a large enough fanbase to have a healthy market. But production costs increased faster than sales and the aging gaming populaces tastes got narrower. So we ended up with the opposite effect of niche games and even once popular genres getting obliterated.

How's all that support working out for the Vita? The Vita's also not 1080p console development, if they had to put that much work on it, it wouldn't have support.

I just think 3rd party is a better business route than hybrid. I think the home console is salvageable if Iwata gets fired. To have a console successful in the US, it has to do all the things home consoles do well. Then it has to have the top 10 NPD above, not just any 3rd party games. It has to be the right third party games. Then those games have to have the perception that they are at least equal to the other options. I don't see how a hybrid does that or even entices those key third parties to get on board. We'll see what Nintendo does. I think we'll have an idea by May if they plan on riding the Wii U out or doing something drastic.

The Iwata successor we'd realistically get would take all the things we don't like about the company and amplify them.

Damn that list pisses me off. I decided to look at the installed base of both the WiiU and Vita. According to VGchards, the Vita has an installed base of 6.62 million whereas the WiiU is at 4.32 million. The Vita is ahead at the moment but still not enough so to warrant so much support. Given Vita games are lower scaled PS3 projects it seems, why can't these developers double down and release ports of these games onto the WiiU? The WiiU should be able to handle them and it'll just be another market for them to try and make sales off of where there is less competition as a result of WiiU's software droughts. I know these games won't be considered "next gen" on the WiiU but sh*t, any support is better than nothing.

Here's the link to the numbers I stated.
http://www.vgchartz.com/analysis/platform_totals/

EDIT: Holy &*&*, looking at that list again, how the hell is the PSP still getting that much support? How come everyone was able to move from the DS to the 3DS for development yet some companies are still working on PSP games? I know the PSP has a large installed based but so does the DS yet no one is lining up software for that.

Rose-tinted Bull**** about how "games used to be about gameplay and now they're all about 'graffix!'

Dude, were you even alive when the SNES was the big machine on the market? Graphics have always been a major factor in the marketing and sales of video games. What did you think the whole "bit wars" thing was about?! "The NES is just 8 bits, BUT THE GENESIS IS 16 BITS!", etc. Nintendo pretty much sold the Donkey Kong Country series on its graphics alone. That they were 3 fairly decent games was almost immaterial, "BECAUSE LOOK AT THOSE SWEET 3D MODELS!"

Anyone who thinks there was ever a time when "games were about gameplay instead of graphics" (in the sense of gameplay being prioritized instead of visuals) is either too young to be aware of the history of the industry or too drunk on nostalgia to see the industry for what it always has been. Just because older games looked like **** doesn't mean the developers weren't trying to create visually-appealing video games.

The difference from then and today is that back then, you got what you saw. The commercials were all gameplay. A lot of commercials now are either CGI, quick time events which look bad ass, or action scenes from views you'll not be gaming from. Graphics have advanced to the point now that the games don't look too far off from the CGI trailers but still, its misleading.

I really don't understand what the marketing materials for a game have to do with the quality of the games themselves, but if the technology had existed back in the 90s, we totally would've seen the same thing back then (just see any of Square's trailers for their PS1 Final Fantasy re-releases, which used the new CGI cutscenes). Instead, we got wacky live action trailers that the games looked nothing like.

While we're on the subject of "gameplay over graphics" in older game commercials, though, how about this NINTENDO trailer for the original Legend of Zelda on the NES:

Just for emphasis, the first two lines of the commercial:

Nerd 1: "Did you see the latest Nintendo newsletter?"
Nerd 2: "WOAH! Nice graphics! I'd like to get my hands on that game!"

Behold that the very first thing Nintendo tries to drive into you with this commercial is how amazing the graphics were (for the time). Yeah, "gameplay over graphics", indeed.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mannypon on December 16, 2013, 05:07:53 AM: All you've done is prove my point. I'm not arguing the quality of games in relation to how they are marketed. All I originally stated was that games now are more flash than substance and that approach is emphasized in their commercials. Since graphics were so basic in the NES and SNES generation, the commercials showed you exactly how the games were as apposed to now where your often shown strictly cinematics or set action pieces. Regardless of what message the commercial is trying to portray, you saw exactly what the game played like. The commercial you just showed had all gameplay in it. FF7 is the biggest offender of what I was touching upon.

I would say games back in the 90s were 50/50 gameplay to graphics, maybe a slant more towards graphics if that makes you feel better. Now the ratio has been slanted heavily towards graphics over gameplay as evident by games releasing with subpar framerates and other graphical glitches, all of which are a result of the developer putting more resources into getting that much more out of the graphics as apposed to having a better consistent gameplay experience.

Again, this will always vary depending on the company as some developers (Nintendo) choose to sacrifice some graphic fidelity for a better gameplay experience while others don't. Some choose to market their games different also, depending on the game and who they are trying to sell it to. There's really nothing much else I can say about this so I'll just leave it at that.

That started to change with the PS2 and this current generation (PS4, and the rest) you can start to rival real Cartoon CGI. I would not be surprised if we see a Ninja Turtle game or Transformers game that looked like you were running around in an episode of those series.

I didn't say it would definitely be a good thing. It could certainly be worse. I just think the Gamecube was a more traditional console and did a lot of things right. Iwata, in my opinion, has led the gimmick over comparable hardware approach. The Wii and 3DS were successful. Though I'd argue a true GBA successor would have been successful anyway. So there is hope. I just think Iwata has burned the third party bridge and there is no hope to getting them back while he is here.

I disagree. They both sell you hardware experiences. SonyMicrosoft sell you powerful cpus and gpus. The most obvious benefit is great graphics. This can benefit gameplay with great physics engines or allowing you to place more items on screen. It doesn't ever hurt gameplay but doesn't necessarily get used by developers for gameplay items.

Nintendo sells you touch screens and motion controls. Their goal is to find the next big tech and make a profit on it before it becomes mainstream. Sometimes it benefits gameplay (Wii Sports Wii Fit) but most of the time it hurts traditional gameplay experiences(since that is the default setup) and the traditional market doesn't take Nintendo seriously anymore.

I believe giving credit to Nintendo prioritizing gameplay over graphics because of the Wii is false. It was a profit grab and it worked. I dont see how Mario or Zelda were better with motion controls. I think it's your bias that Nintendo is better for the game industry and thinking what they are doing is right.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on December 16, 2013, 10:46:09 AM: Yamauchi did far more to drive third parties away than Iwata has. All the **** he pulled in the '80s and '90s still lingers to this day. As for comparable hardware, it really doesn't fit the business model Nintendo wants to go with. Now that Wii U has bombed, that could be something they're willing to try again, or they could just abandon the console space, or something completely different that we haven't thought of.

I really don't think Iwata is the problem, though, or at least not anywhere near the whole problem. Replacing him won't fix things, at least not with the kind of replacement the people who'd choose him would pick. This is a "devil you know" situation; Iwata's certainly not perfect, but I trust him more than I trust somebody new.

Post by: Ian Sane on December 16, 2013, 01:27:43 PM: In regards to this blaming of the public for the Wii U's woes, in 1986 if there were internet boards like this Atari fans would be saying the same things. "The public doesn't like high score arcade games anymore! It's their fault the 7800 is bombing!" So the public is supposed to just take whatever Nintendo gives them? I would say that telling the public what they want has been a big Nintendo problem for years. Nintendo has to either give the public what they want to buy or introduce a product so influential that it changes what the market wants to buy. They're not doing it. Their games come across as old and outdated.

As for ditching Iwata, I've hated the way he has run Nintendo. He pretty much ruined them for me. He compromised their GAMES by going with outdated hardware, dumbed down casual focused design, cookie cutter retro pandering sequels, and unresponsive gimmick controls. Nintendo did one thing right and it was under HIS leadership that they started fucking that up. Do I figure Nintendo would replace him with someone worse? Yeah because this is Nintendo. But what I consider the "real" Nintendo is already dead so maybe things will get worse but maybe they'll get better. They're not going to get any better with Iwata in charge and considering the Wii U's fate are likely just going to get worse. No one deserves to hang on to a position entirely because of the fear of their successor being worse.

The number one reason the shareholders are angry with Iwata is because he isn't developing for smartphones, not because the Wii U isn't as powerful as the PS4. The majority of Nintendo top shareholders are Japanese and in Japan, the home console market is nothing compared to the massive handheld/mobile games market. This is why the rest of the Japanese industry has focused more on smartphones and cut tradition gaming console development in recent years.

It's not really a case of the devil we know versus the one we don't know, because we already know. Just look at the rest of the Japanese industry to see what companies run by people who are slaves to the investors look like. Many Japanese investors right know see smartphones as the future of gaming and so that's where they want their fellow Japanese companies to focus on. If Iwata is forced to leave, then you're not getting a hardcore graphics powerhouse home console focused Nintendo, you're getting an even cheaper mobile games smartphone focused Nintendo.

So I hope you love playing games on your smartphones because if Iwata is fired that's were you'll be playing most Nintendo games from now on.

I guess handheld-only Nintendo is still better than smartphone Nintendo. Still Iwata is part of the problem at Nintendo. They need a shake-up to get rid of the many negative aspects of their corporate culture.

I think what I really need is the "next Nintendo". I need some dev to come out that represents the positive elements of Nintendo's peak on a present day console. Nintendo themselves returning to form would be miraculous.

It is just not your shtick. 'Girlfriend-mode' is a big hit with certain groups. I know a couple that adore the Co-Star mode in Galaxy and my parents (who long ago gave up playing with us) loved playing along with my younger sister as well. It is a clever mechanic and it takes very little to implement that gives a whole new avenue for people to enjoy games with 'less capable' players. I know another guy who loves to do it with his toddler because they (toddlers) can feel like they are playing without the frustrations and the parent can get some 'traditional' gaming time in without losing sleep or compromising other responsibilities. This was also an unintended feature of the 'Double Dash' kart sharing in the GameCube Mario Kart.

The number one reason the shareholders are angry with Iwata is because he isn't developing for smartphones, not because the Wii U isn't as powerful as the PS4. The majority of Nintendo top shareholders are Japanese and in Japan, the home console market is nothing compared to the massive handheld/mobile games market. This is why the rest of the Japanese industry has focused more on smartphones and cut tradition gaming console development in recent years.

It's not really a case of the devil we know versus the one we don't know, because we already know. Just look at the rest of the Japanese industry to see what companies run by people who are slaves to the investors look like. Many Japanese investors right know see smartphones as the future of gaming and so that's where they want their fellow Japanese companies to focus on. If Iwata is forced to leave, then you're not getting a hardcore graphics powerhouse home console focused Nintendo, you're getting an even cheaper mobile games smartphone focused Nintendo.

So I hope you love playing games on your smartphones because if Iwata is fired that's were you'll be playing most Nintendo games from now on.

So we're fucked either way? Then I guess Nintendo ain't ever bouncing back because Iwata is a boob that got lucky with a fad. Though their handhelds are still good. I guess handheld-only Nintendo is still better than smartphone Nintendo. Still Iwata is part of the problem at Nintendo. They need a shake-up to get rid of the many negative aspects of their corporate culture.

I think what I really need is the "next Nintendo". I need some dev to come out that represents the positive elements of Nintendo's peak on a present day console. Nintendo themselves returning to form would be miraculous.

With all of the talk about combining console and handhelds in the next generation, it may not be as much of a hurdle as we think it will be. That has been covered already in other threads so I won't beat y'all with it here.

Also, I think Retro could fill those shoes and be the 'Rare' of this generation. the biggest problem is they are too small. Expand the studio and let us see what they can do with both old and new properties under Nintendo's creative guidance. We also have Monolith Software who have a lot of potential. Who made Pandora's Tower again? I wonder what they are working on (or the guys that made Last Story).

Post by: shingi_70 on December 16, 2013, 05:44:58 PM: Retro will never be the Rare of this generation as they weren't the Rare of last generation. They should be Nintendo's Naughty Dog and them not being expanded says alot about Nintendo between Wii and Wii U.

It's also a bit crazy how NST started working on games like Wave Race, 1080 snowbaording, and Metroid Prime Hunters. Now they're a Mario vs Donkey Kong Factory.

Not sure what Monster Games or Next Level software is working on.

Pandora's Tower developer worked on Wii Fit U and One Piece Games.

Mistwalker the guys behind the last story have pretty much given up with console games and are working on Mobile stuff. I'd blame Microsoft and Nintendo about Mistwalker and Sakaguchi stopping RPGs. If they do decide to make another console game it will probably something kickstarter related.

Post by: Ian Sane on December 16, 2013, 06:57:28 PM: When I say the "next Nintendo" I certainly don't mean a company like Retro that exists within Nintendo. I mean a completely unrelated company that has nothing to do with Nintendo and doesn't even necessarily support their hardware but demonstrates the creativity, innovation and quality that Nintendo demonstrated in the pre-Wii era. Think of the 2013 equivalent of 1985 Nintendo.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on December 16, 2013, 07:25:46 PM: Oh, wow, that is a huge difference.

I have been hoping that a few dev houses within Nintendo would rise up and fill the role that Rare, Factor 5 and other's filled on Nintendo systems. We had Rare on the N64 and we had Factor 5, Silicone Knights and Retro on the Gamecube.

Hoping for a spiritual successor for Nintendo is a pipe dream. The level of nostalgia and the weight of legacy Nintendo properties are never going to be replaced by another company. The only other areas a company could hole to fill Nintendo's shoes are consistent quality and innovation. The closest comparison with quality consistency I can see is Valve. But they don't fill nearly as many niches and genres as Nintendo does. Valve entering the console business could be the one thing to breath life back into the console market. It is a pity Nintendo didn't team up with Valve. Even a team up with Google would be helpful to Nintendo.

I didn't list nostalgia. If nostalgia was a draw for me I would have bought a Wii U at launch for NSMB U. Nintendo doesn't have to be making Mario or Zelda games to please me. If anything they have gone to that well too frequently in the last generation. When those franchises were newer they offered a more unique experience and that novelty is more what I crave than to go through the tropes of those series for the hundredth time. I was disappointed in Twilight Princess because Nintendo was giving me another Ocarina of Time and I actually wanted the NEXT Ocarina of Time.

The idea that Nintendo is defined by their IP is misguided and Nintendo themselves started to make that mistake after Iwata took over. Nintendo's IPs were special because of the creativity, innovation and quality shown in those titles. Super Metroid is legendary because it is one of the greatest games ever made, not because it is of the Metroid franchise. A Nintendo that would never make another Mario game but continued to make creative games of a high quality would actually provide a more authentic Nintendo experience than one churning out uninspired sequels.

Hoping for the next Nintendo is a pipe dream but that just demonstrates how exceptional the company was at its peak.

Again, this will always vary depending on the company as some developers (Nintendo) choose to sacrifice some graphic fidelity for a better gameplay experience while others don't.

I disagree. They both sell you hardware experiences. SonyMicrosoft sell you powerful cpus and gpus. The most obvious benefit is great graphics. This can benefit gameplay with great physics engines or allowing you to place more items on screen. It doesn't ever hurt gameplay but doesn't necessarily get used by developers for gameplay items.

Nintendo sells you touch screens and motion controls. Their goal is to find the next big tech and make a profit on it before it becomes mainstream. Sometimes it benefits gameplay (Wii Sports Wii Fit) but most of the time it hurts traditional gameplay experiences(since that is the default setup) and the traditional market doesn't take Nintendo seriously anymore.

I believe giving credit to Nintendo prioritizing gameplay over graphics because of the Wii is false. It was a profit grab and it worked. I dont see how Mario or Zelda were better with motion controls. I think it's your bias that Nintendo is better for the game industry and thinking what they are doing is right.

Sorry, I should've been a little more clearer in the point I was trying to make. I wasn't referring to hardware design but more so software design philosophies. This was more of an issue during the previous generation on the PS360. Developers often sacrificed framerates and other glitches in order to squeeze out a little more juice out of the graphics. That was a design decision on their part prioritizing the graphics slightly above the gameplay. No matter what the guts of the hardware, these developers will always take this approach. Nintendo on the other hand, always seems to look to establish a steady gameplay experience and then try to squeeze as much graphics as possible without taking a hit on performance. I'm sure if Nintendo were developing on PS4 and XboxOne, that design choice will still be the same.

Check this article out in which Super Mario 3d World was analyzed technically, it helps better describe the point I'm trying to make regarding Nintendo's approach to game design.

I really don't think who's at the top is the issue, but the culture of the company. Merely replacing Iwata won't change that.

Maybe but we'll never know. Yamauchi got away with alot because Nintendo was the Walmart of video game consoles when he was there so third parties were forced to grin and take it. Those things don't fly when you are the local store as Nintendo is now.

The N64 main failure was the cartridge design. Clearly he had a hand in that decision, but initially third party support was better for the N64 over the PS1. Gamecube third party support was equal to Xbox even though it was less than the PS2. I don't think Iwata took over at a time of disadvantage, but one exists now. You can blame that on the corporate culture which Yamauchi was a part of, but I don't think you can blame Yamauchi's interactions with third parties directly for the situation we are in.

Mannypon - I get your point and Nintendo is still my #1 developer. But I don't like dealing in absolutes. Nintendo shortcuts at times like most developers. I know Windwaker is a port, but it's a $50 port and at times the graphical camera glitches are awful. In the same token, there are several great games out there that stress gameplay over graphics developed by non-Nintendo developers. I'd give you that with a Nintendo game, there is a higher percent chance that it's a great game than a random developer. But there are alot more games by other developers and I'm not ready to say there are more great games developed by Nintendo than all other developers combined. I think that's the issue the market is dealing with. With the Wii MK, Mario, SSB all sold over 30 million. People love their games. I think when people compare Nintendo only to what else is going on in the market, they have trouble buying a Nintendo only console and forgoing those other great games.

Luigidude- If they go third party they absolutely should support phones/tablets. I actually think Brain Age, Nintendogs, and Animal Crossing would be great cell phone titles.

I guess I've become at a peace regarding Nintendo development. What I mean is, If they can't make money making the games I enjoy then they shouldn't make them. If I'm a niche gamer and there isn't enough market to support me then don't. I love video games, but I realize the world doesn't revolve around me and I have less and less time to play games anyway. I hate reality TV, but that is 80% of TV anymore so lots of people must like it.

I lost one of my favorite games on PC Nascar Racing 2003 by Papyrus. Most of you don't like sim racing, it's really niche. They used to release an annual update. Like most games the price dropped quickly and I picked up the last version for $16.99 off of Amazon.com. The new version is Iracing. It changed to a subscription model at $99/year. Now cars and tracks cost money and they keep adding those and it's online racing only. It's a niche product and they priced it at a level where they could make money off it. I don't fault them but I haven't played it. I'm not willing to support the game at that price level (it helps that I live in the country and have awful internet).

My long point is niche games either don't serve a business purpose or they need to squeeze more $ out of those that actually use the service. I'm not ready for $99/year Mario and I'm not willing to whine to those that don't like the games I do that they should. So If Nintendo is out of date so be it. There have been tens of thousands of games released over the years. I'm sure there are lots of gems I haven't played. And if there's not I'll survive.

The PS1 already had more than 300 titles in its library when the N64 finally hit the market in June 1996. The N64 never hit 300 games in any region during the entire life of the console.

It was time for new leadership. But I just don't think Iwata was the right guy for the job. The Wii and Wii U are a much different approach to consoles than their predecessors and in a nutshell that approach turned off the core gamer demographic for a quick buck from a flash-in-the-pan casual market with no loyalty that moved on to the next big thing. To me it comes across that Iwata's approach to consoles is to offer a weak product and target an ignorant audience that doesn't know better. Under Iwata I feel that Nintendo went from a pretty damn innovative company that lead the way in modern game design to a ridiculously conservative one that has no interest in moving forward and actually wants to move back.

Even Nintendo's infamous overly conservative online "policy" for the Gamecube wasn't revealed until after Iwata had been in charge for about a year. But under Yamauchi the Gamecube had launched with the hardware support for online capabilities and Nintendo had ironically offered cutting edge online services in past like the Satellaview and Randnet. But under Iwata going online, something Nintendo had ALREADY DONE, something their console could already do, something that the rest of the industry was doing, something that was damn well expected by consumers in 2003, was suddenly deemed too risky. The guy is a luddite WUSS who commits to a five year plan based on how things will be for the next five months. If he was in charge of the NES it would have been a damn Atari 2600 clone incapable of running Super Mario Bros.

I know that you dislike the Wii and Wii U direction since you post about not liking it at every opportunity but I don't really fault Nintendo for their apporach in the early years of the Wii.

They looked at the market, realized the consumer base was staying pretty close to the same size as it had been for awhile and that this market was buying less and less of their products. They could keep fighting for this market like Microsoft and Sony but look at what those consoles cost when coming onto the scene. Plus, Nintendo doesn't offer a whole lot of secondary functunality like HD-DVD or Blu-ray. So, staying equal in processing power may not have been enough to lead them to a resurgance as consumer may still chose to buy one of those other consoles since they would have to pay a lot of money for a console and thus it would be a bit easier to justify it as it could be used to play such movies as well. Maybe they get some more and better 3rd party ports but I'm not sure it changes their fortunes like Wii originally did.

Frankly, Nintendo is right to try and get more people into gaming. The more people you can sell a product to then the more money you will make. Thus, it makes sense to attempt to try and find ways to do this. You can argue that that maybe if they tried to give an equal and very comparable console as the other two, we'd finally get a real test of whether there is still support for Nintendo consoles in the traditional market but going by the situation at the end of Gamecube, it seemed hard to believe their market share would increase by doing that.

The Wii definitely did bring in new users and gamers. I was surprised at some of the people I knew who bought them. How many 40-50 year olds who have never bought a game console before do you expect to see buy and play an XBox One or PS4? But plenty bought a Wii. It is usually more costly to acquire a new costumer in business than keep an existing one. Yet, Nintendo pulled it off for awhile. Thanks to the cost and the uniqueness of the product, they even won back a lot of the traditional market as well.

However, the biggest challenge and they acknowledged this as well, was now getting this new consumer to move from Wii Sports to something like New Super Mario Bros. Wii or Mario Kart Wii. To go from casual gaming to regular gaming. They were clearly far less successful on that endeavor because of the sudden rise of smartphones and gaming on that. With the small casual timewaster games on phones, people didn't need to buy a $50 game to play more. They could spend a buck and play this fun little game that didn't need much effort or time like Wii Sports. Thus, smartphone gaming stunted the market.

I'd compare it to people who won't watch black and white movies or epics. Sure, these people may still like movies but they won't become real movie lovers if they aren't willing to broaden their tastes. Likewise, the casual market may say they play videogames or like them but they've never broadened their outlook to the greater and better products that can be found on the market because phone gaming kept them from seeing the need to spend 10-25 hours on a traditional game.

You can say that Iwata's goal/leadership is to turn off core gamers and take mony from ignorant gamers yet that still isn't a recipe for success. If core gamers were turned off by motion controls, how would that be any guarentee that non-gamers would be turned on by it? The truth is that it was designed to appeal to everyone and for a time, it did. However, the promise and potential and excitement of this new control ability was never executed as well as it could have been. How many times did people lament the fact that shooters rarely showed up on the Wii despite the motion control scheme showing itself to be an equal if not better scheme than current control stick patterns?

Although there were other factors to lead to the problems Nintendo now faces, the biggest challenge they knew and couldn't overcome was educating new players to try deeper experiences and get them hooked for future deep experiences and also changing the way the core gamer's habits of play with the new control ideas and potential.

What we are seeing right now is Nintendo trying to adapt to the way people currently play and appeal to that and failing. People play touchscreen games on the DS or their phones and tablets? We've put touchscreen controls into our console. People like dual stick action? They've finally given a more tradional dual stick control (compared to the GC's dualsticks) as well as the pro controller. HD gaming? Online gaming? That's here now but still not done as well as the competitor's are for most people. You like motion control? We've still got it.

They are trying to appeal to everyone but they've ended up appealing to no one at the moment.

The market was buying less of Nintendo's products because Nintendo had their heads up their asses and were routinely screwing up simple stuff. The solution was to get their act together. I think it demonstrates Nintendo's stubborn and arrogant nature when their reaction to the Gamecube wasn't "****, we got a do a better job next time" but rather "well people are being big bullies and won't buy our product so we better target a new audience". I see it as them avoiding admitting their mistakes by finding a new audience that wouldn't be so hip to videogames to notice Nintendo's warts. Trying to get the core market back involved effort and self-improvement and that's hard so **** that, these rubes will buy a last gen console if we distract them with a gimmick and this half-baked mini-game compilation takes off. And I think Nintendo really learned the wrong lesson from that and figured the Wii U could do the same thing. "Hey, we can just release last gen hardware, copy the gimmick from the DS, throw on some NSMB and the suckers will just eat it up!" And they didn't because they never had any loyalty and can get their videogame fix on their phone. So all that's left is the "real" videogame market that wasn't too impressed with the Gamecube and noticed all the typical Nintendo problems get amplified on the Wii and is absolutely not going to buy a product that just looks like another Wii, particularly when Nintendo hasn't even addressed issues from the N64 let alone the two other consoles that have come and gone since then.

They dodged the problem on the Wii but now they're stuck and the "apology console" that the Gamecube needed to be is long overdue.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Khushrenada on December 17, 2013, 04:37:37 PM: Ah but that still doesn't answer the trickest question of all, will that bring the market into Nintendo's control or turn things around for them?

Let's say Nintendo released a console exactly the same as the PS4 except that it has Miiverse integration and free online play for Nintendo games at least. Everything else, like online structure and extra functionality or apps are the same. Does this mean that Grand Theft Auto will suddenly be made for this system along with the other two? Or any other big third party game? If they are almost identical, it should mean that would happen as it wshouldn't require much work to port it over. But what guarentee is there it would happen? And if such a game does get ported over, will it sell more than the version available on Xbox1 or PS4? Why would someone buy it on a Nintendo console instead of one of the other consoles?

If the consoles are the same, will Nintendo automatically get more marketshare against its competitors because of its first party lineup? Is that really the trump card? Because the way everyone moans about another Mario game or tired Zelda formula or Nintendo relying so much on their franchises would indicate that the core gamer audience wouldn't consider that a factor? So, what then? The console market just splits into an equal three ways? People just buy on brand name? There has to be a bit more to differentiate itself from the others.

What if flops also? Nintendo puts out a console exactly like the others as described and it flops. What then? It sounds like a good idea if you are a Nintendo loyalist or only want to buy one console because then it seems like you'll finally get all that 3rd party software you miss out on now since it would be so easy to bring over but that could still end up not happening.

Moreover, how does it grow the market? Maybe in 80 years when everyone has grown up with videogames around them, there is a much wider audience. But how many of us find ourselves playing less and less? How many people become lapsed gamers and stop playing in their 20's even? So many people are getting tired of seeing one shooter game after another because they start to look so similar and generic. If all three consoles are practically the same, how does that help the industry?

Maybe the Wii U doesn't do well this round of consoles. At least Nintendo is willing to try and experiment. But how is ""Hey, we can just release last gen hardware, copy the gimmick from the DS, throw on some NSMB and the suckers will just eat it up!" the lesson Nintendo learned and not "Hey, people are looking for new gaming experiences and there's a huge interest in gaming beyond just the core audience of people regularly playing now who are also interested in this experience as demonstrated by our sales and demand and the media so let's keep looking for ways to appeal to this demand!"?

You have a much more flattering view of Nintendo than I do. I see the Wii and Wii U as intentionally half-baked products that tried to scam consumers who didn't know better. That's what Nintendo learned: we don't have to try. SMB with waggle controls ain't a new experience. It's a damn old experience with shitty gimmick controls that create the illusion of newness. For all the talk from Nintendo about the innovations of the Wii, last gen was the most cliché cookie-cutter generation out of Nintendo yet. And the Wii U? What the hell new ideas has the Gamepad created? So we get a bunch of sidescrolling platformers and party games? "New game experiences" is Nintendo's buzzword for gimmick controllers. It's just marketing bullshit. Go by what Nintendo actually makes, not what they say.

The approach of the gaming industry have a couple competitors who offer very similar experiences but with exclusives defining their console has gone on for decades. Damn near every game worth a **** was developed in this environment including most of Nintendo's best work. Gimmicks don't accomplish ****. Gaming moves forward in the games that are made. The ideal console merely offers devs the luxury to make whatever game they wish. Nintendo's approach is to stick to old clichés and dress them up with superfluous gimmicks which is bad for gaming. Gaming deserves real innovation. Not that Sony or MS are great at offering it but Nintendo is absolutely NOT offering it.

If anything I think a Nintendo that cannot use gimmicks as a crutch and has to come up with truly innovative concepts will have a better impact on gaming. In the past I wanted them to succeed because I wanted the industry to be influenced by their commitment to innovation and quality.

So let's just assure **** support because MAYBE if we do something that could work it MIGHT fail? That's total defeatist thinking.

I hope they would want to make multiplatform games to be in 100% of the console market but with some of the statements and actions of those in some 3rd party companies, I can't help but wonder if they still might resist doing this. Plus, if Nintendo does give incentives, will they suddenly stop if Nintendo stops giving them? Depends what Sony and Microsoft do or how large of the market Nintendo holds at such a point in time. I don't see Nintendo being interested in having to give incentives after a short period of time.

Then there is the factor that most Nintendo games are better than most third party games. It is often cited as another reason why third party games don't come over to Nintendo consoles. That people who buy Nintendo consoles only buy Nintendo games. It's an excuse for their half baked games and/or their attitude and their treatment of the fanbase which causes them to disdain their efforts when they do put something on a console.

Thus, even with equal footing to port a multiplatform game, that game has to be of a quality and appeal that it will sell well enough versus Nintendo software. Most companies can not compete against that. Nintendo software is a double edged sword. Thus, either Nintendo fans buy enough of this software that it is worth it for 3rd parties to bring it over or Nintendo has such a large market share that those who might have owned a PS whatever or Xbox whatever and normally buy it on that would now have the Nintendo console and buy it on that.

What happens if you have Batman: Arkham 4 release and Nintendo releases Mario 64 2 in the same week? Batman may still sell well but how much better might it have sold in the Mario games was sold 3 or 4 weeks later? Does Nintendo have to start evaluating which third party support they want to succeed and start arranging their release schedule around such third party games to avoid conflict? Because Nintendo won't do that. If third party games sell on their console, then great. The console might get supported more. But they don't make their money from those games selling well on their console. They make it through selling their own software and thus they'll want to release it when they think it most profitable. Third parties are not going to arrange their release dates based on when Nintendo's games come out. They'll do it according to their timetable and when other third parties are releasing their games. How do you solve that issue? Batman doesn't sell as well because of the competition from Mario on the Nintendo platform? Guess we'll stick with Sony and Microsoft where it sold much better against Generic Shooter 1 and Generic Shooter 2.

I'm not saying that Nintendo shouldn't try to make their console with specs similar enough to encourage more ports. But I'm not naive enough to think that is the only issue to solving their third party problem. If this results in Nintendo making some really brilliant games without the use of a gimmick crutch as you say, how will that help third party offerings competing against those brilliant games?

On the subject of "gimmicks", that is what the DS was considered at first but it actually did innovate. Touchscreen gaming has become huge in handheld gaming with the Vita having it along with phones and tablet gaming using it. It brought about a lot of new ideas and helped enhance gaming in a lot of ways. I've praised the DS as the best system last generation so I won't get into again. However, it did not allow for easy ports between it and the PSP. Yet, 3rd parties rose up and made unique exclusive games for the system and took advantage of its capabilities and their efforts were just as good and sometimes a bit better than Nintendo's offerings.

The DS is the cause of your discontent. It showed Nintendo that it could beat a technolgically superior competitor, that putting in new gameplay controls seemed to appeal to people and that 3rd parties would develop new software based on it. It even allowed them to appeal to the casual market with Brain Age or Crosswords will still appealing to the core audience as well. The Wii was them copying that model and it succeeded for about 4 years although it lacked 3rd party support and the balance of casual and core didn't seem to be as deftly handled. What's interesting is that the 3DS didn't try to change much between it and its predecessor. It just expanded on some of the ideas found during the DS's reign with 3D and more horsepower and online capabilities being the main new differences. The Wii U is copying that by basically being the Wii but with more horsepower, better online capabilities and a touchscreen controller as the main differences. The 3DS struggled then turned it around. The Wii U has just struggled.

Again, there's some other factors but this post is long enough and my point was just that different specs neither dissuades 3rd party support like the DS or encourages it like the Wii U.

Post by: Ian Sane on December 17, 2013, 08:01:11 PM: I've been sceptical of this "Nintendo fans only buy first party games" idea but thinking about it, rational people that want third party games would have long given up on Nintendo consoles leaving a fanbase that would consist mostly of Nintendo-only gamers. This situation has been this way long enough that many fans would have grown up knowing nothing but.

Well it would consist of people like that and naïve idiots like me that hoped they would have turned things around by now but I (slowly) caught on. The Wii U's hardware, due to its similarity to the Wii, gave the message that Nintendo was not going to even try to attract worthwhile third party support. Either they're not trying or they're really clueless as to what sort of major hurdles they put in place with the Wii's design. Either way it means jack squat for third party support and that is probably the biggest reason I have not bothered getting a Wii U. We can talk about whether or not going with equivalent hardware would end up making a difference but it was clear that doing the same thing as before would not improve things at all and that's not a good message to send to customers.

The Wii U's design being so similar to the Wii means that the Wii's issues are not being addressed so anyone who was turned off by those issues was never going to consider buying a Wii U. Realistically this is the same thing that sunk the Gamecube. Anyone who had an issue with the N64 and had a negative bias towards Nintendo as a result had all of those biases confirmed within the first year. I do not want another Wii and the Wii U's first year has done nothing but confirm to me that it is just another Wii. Perhaps Nintendo's biggest failure here was assuming that the market wanted another Wii.

I still don't buy that argument. I'd consider myself a casual gamer (if I spent more than 5 or so hours a week on gaming, it's unusual) yet I still bought 35 3rd party games for the Wii.

If Nintendo ever released a console that was on par with the competition in every way, I don't see how it couldn't be a success. As long as it was easy enough to port to, it'd get plenty of 3rd party games; just look at how many 360/PS3 games got ported to WiiU early in its life. And it'd have the advantage of having Nintendo games, Sony and Microsoft can't match 3D Mario games and Zelda games with their exclusive offerings unless they throw tons of money at developers. But Nintendo never has done that. Maybe I'm wrong but I just don't see how it would fail.

Anyway, with a WiiU under the Christmas tree, I hope things improve. While I wasn't a fan of the idea of the WiiU when it first released, the price drop and idea of off-TV play sold me; plus I'm not spending $400-$500 on a console that doesn't even have a game packed in so PS4/XBone were out of the question.

I'm going to be optimistic and say that December is going to be a good sales month for Nintendo. There's been so many good sales over the past couple weeks that are drawing people in (like the Skylanders bundle for $219, the original bundle and Zelda bundle being on clearance at some stores, gift cards galore with purchase), it's gotta at least help some.

I see the Wii and Wii U as intentionally half-baked products that tried to scam consumers who didn't know better.
Well, what you see is patently false.

1. Devoting millions of dollars and countless hours to research and development on a product is the exact opposite of "intentionally half-baked."
2. The people you are erroneously claiming Nintendo tried scamming had already rejected traditional video games and everything that may be associated with it such as high spec machines designed to play said games. Didn't know better? Nope. More like "didn't give a **** about gaming to begin with."

Look, it's one thing to dislike Nintendo's products for whatever reasons you have. It's another to flat-out make things up to grouse about it. Please kindly stop with this nonsense in like every thread.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on December 19, 2013, 09:43:34 AM: I don't know if this is what Ian Sane meant, but when I think half baked, I think something that had potential but was intentionally released well short of realizing the original concept.

I can see that more with Wii U than Wii. Nintendo entered last generation much better prepared with concepts and titles to push motion controls. I suppose not pulling the trigger on Remote Plus from the get-go could be seen as lost potential. Wii U was admittedly rushed and incomplete at launch. Nintendo needed a Wii Sports-like software that effectively demonstrates the merits of the technology and they don't have it yet. They have ideas, but they shouldn't launch a console without those ideas in full effect. Nintendo may have come unprepared for this battle, but I don't see where trying to scam people comes in.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on December 19, 2013, 11:09:39 AM: You know what they should have done? Made the Wii U GamePad 3D like the 3DS. Add another camera to the front and back, and change the LCD. That should literally be all that it would have taken. The console can already do 3Don your TV (don't think any games support it yet), I guarantee it would be selling a lot better - even if 3DTV isn't taking off so well, you could still get a LOT more functionality out of the GamePad.

I think its a valid comparison even with those items. People think the WiiU is over priced and people thought the PS3 was over priced. Sony had an up hill battle so, does Nintendo. PS3 has turned it around so well that people look at the start with Rose Tinted Glasses. It was very much in the same position as the Wii U at the start.

But 2 years down the line, we are likely to not have any 3rd party support, where as 3rd parties supported Sony systems regardless of the low sales. They wrote it off as "hard times", where Nintendo gets the "wait and see" approach, which right now just means "wait and wait some more" approach, so all we can do is "keeps waiting...".

Nintendo can lower prices and then what? Release more Mario games and then what?
They could sell 10 million consoles next week, and at best that will turn into a few extra high profile games.... 1-2 years from now?

I don't know, maybe a few of the right games from all parties involved, mixed with the right price and stellar marketing can make a difference, but Nintendo's battle is being fought in the opposite direction of Sony's. Sony's problem was Price not Support. Nintendo's problem is Support not Price.
Sony fixed their problem by sliding down the price, Nintendo has to fix their problem by sliding up the support. Not sure how to fix that this late in the game.

Sony Problem was more than just Price. It was also being a "Me-Too" System with the 360 and the Large Shadow of the PS2.

Out of all the consoles we have to compare to PS3 is still the best fit for a comparison. Vita would be a goodish one if it wasn't for Handhelds. In fact it has a fan base that enjoys whats on the system, has some interesting control choices combined with traditional controls, has been terribly marketed, Recieved a Price drop, is Backward Compatible, etc. Their is a lot to compare between the two systems.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on December 19, 2013, 04:57:19 PM: Well the Wii U does have a much stronger 2104 lineup then they had for 2013. Mario Kart and Smash Bros are both bigger then any of the titles they released in 2013. Donkey Kong will be much bigger then Pikmin 3 and Hyrule Warriors will be bigger then Wind Waker HD. Even something niche like Bayonetta 2 will do better then The Wonderful 101, even if it's numbers won't be good either. Plus since we're talking about Japan here, if marketed right X could have some decent success as well with the RPG fans over there as well.

So even though Nintendo still lacks third party support, at least there own support is going to be better in 2014 then this last year. Now how much they improve sales is going to be another story and what will be what we have to look forward to in the new year.

Wii U will perform better in 2014 due to better software. However, when attempting to compare PS3 and Wii U, it's important to note that PS3's stronger third party support reaches a greater number of people than Nintendo's own software. There's just more variety and greater numbers. Nintendo's first party titles mainly appeal to Nintendo's own fans. It's a subset of the gaming audience versus that entire audience. PS3 wins that round pretty much every time in terms of sales potential just simply looking at how many more people are being targeted.

You can compare just about anything, but I'm not sure how valid this comparison is. The variables change the results too much to gloss over. PS3 and Wii U struggled under different circumstances and for different reasons.

Post by: Adrock on December 19, 2013, 05:56:10 PM: Being the best comparison doesn't make it a good one. What does a comparison between two platforms with vastly different circumstances even tell you? PS3 struggling a year in is different than Wii U struggling. Just looking at sales numbers doesn't reveal anything. All it does is make Wii U's situation look better than it is because you can just say, "Oh, PS3 sold less in the same time frame and now look at it." Except nothing about their situations are really the same beyond face value. The path PS3 took to becoming successful simply cannot be replicated by Wii U due to previously stated reasons. So sure, you can compare them if you want, but why would you?

I was referring more to Japan in my post. Yeah in the West Wind Waker HD will probably end up selling better but in Japan Wind Waker HD was a flop that that sold under 50k. Considering the popularity of the Dynasty Warriors series over there, Hyrule Warriors should be able to easily surpass that. Yeah it wouldn't get up to around 500k which the PS3 Dynasty Warrior games usually got around but I think somewhere between 100-200k is a pretty realistic goal which would still be better then what Wind Waker HD sold over there.

Post by: ymeegod on December 20, 2013, 01:41:51 AM: Disagree with that. The WII U had much better third party support, terms of quality especially, but nobody was buying any of it and that's why 3rd party was pulled from the WII U.

Most third party sales are falling below the 100K mark which makes the WII U and that number is actually shirking instead of growing?

Nintendo really wasted it's one year advantage and it's being pulled from retail space (like the vita) which is just going make things worse when you're not going be able to find much selection from your everyday Walmart store.

The NA market is basically runned by Microsoft, but compare Microsoft situation in Japan, it sucks, but that doesn't mean the Xbox is failing, think about that, Nintendo market its Japan not the U.S, the U.S is an important market, but not the one that will decide Nintendo's fate.

MERI KURISUMASU!
New titles released last week include the third Gundam-themed Musou game and DRAG-ON DRAGOON 3. Both titles have placed in the top 10 but weren't unable to unseat the phenomenon of Puzzle & Dragons. The holiday shopping season is in effect as we see numerous positive percentages in the chart with some returning Nintendo platform games such as Mario Kart 7 and New Super Mario Bros. 2. Of note, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon nears one million units sold in Japan.

CORRECTION: Shin Gundam Musou is the fourth Dynasty Warriors Gundam game.

A lot of people who own Wii Us are going to exclusively digital, so it stands to reason that the game might have sold more and Nintendo has not posted the actual results to the public.

"An analysis of Nintendos financials" by Captain Smoker

Included are fancy charts of net sales, net income, and other whiz bang from the Nintendo's financial years ending at 1981 through 2013. Also, breakdowns between hardware and software for the financial years ending at 2001 through 2013.

Some choice takeaways and quotes:

The Wii and the DS are incredible phenomenons the likes of which Nintendo shouldn't expect to see again.

Nintendo makes more money selling their hardware than their software, even in the GBA and GCN years.
Quote
Considering this, you can say that people saying that Nintendo should abandon their hardware is quite a crazy idea, because it makes up to 60% of their business.

Nintendo managed to ship around 700.000.000 of it's own software titles during their Wii & NDS - age and still didn't manage to generate higher revenues than their hardware,
of course, Wii & NDS had great hardware sales, but unlike the first year in the chart, hardware beats software everytime.

Just another thing, Nintendo needs to sell 759.319.667 games per year at 5 $ in the App Store to account for the same hardware revenue. And 30 % goes to Apple. (Comparing last fiscal year)

Selling the 3DS and the Wii U below the cost it takes to meet them is unprecedented for Nintendo and has severely affected their operating income and net income (these terms are explained in the opening post of the thread).

Nintendo handhelds have earned more money for Nintendo other than the early years of the Wii.

imagine how much they would have to sell if they included software revenue in that calculation. It almost makes you wonder if those in the businesses who say Nintendo should go 3rd party and release mobile games have even done any research to begin with.

I remember the news last year then Apple's digital infrastructure (games+apps plus whatever) generated revenue in a sum of whooping 4 billions USD in it's entire lifetime or something like that.

Which sounds impressive but is actually laughable because it's comparable to what Nintendo makes in a year.

Post by: Ceric on December 27, 2013, 08:57:32 PM: Hardware is much more profitable than Software. I little surprised until I think about the hidden costs and hardware durability.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: smallsharkbigbite on January 01, 2014, 01:23:18 PM: Hardware is not remotely more profitable than software in most instances and these graphs prove nothing.

These comments are on revenue, not profit. Yes, selling hardware for $300/piece versus software at $50/piece makes it easier to generate more revenue from hardware, but we don't know about profit. Most of the time providers are getting a small profit on hardware and a large percentage of profit on software. For instance, Nintendo probably made <$20 for each Gamecube sold and >$20 for each item of software sold for it.

There are unique situations. The Wii was sold popular that they sold it for $250 for three years. They were probably making a very healthy profit on it by the time they reduced the price. Apple is known for pricing their hardware high and getting away with it because they are deemed to have a superior app store. Most of the time in the console market people are just trying to recover the several billion they have in R&D and cover the overheads supporting the console side of the operations. Oh yeah, and putting the product in as many peoples hands as possible so their very profitable software can multiply.

I mean if hardware is the most profitable thing, the Wii U solution is easy. Go license free and watch third parties flock to the Wii U. Oh, they won't be willing to do that, because that is 100% profit and hardware isn't profitable? Oh, well I guess.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on January 01, 2014, 04:26:21 PM: The problem with the Wii U is that, at least last we heard, they're currently taking a loss on the hardware. They're eating that in order to increase the user base in order to attract developers, so it would appear that at least in the short term Nintendo's making their money primarily in software (and 3DS hardware and peripherals for both).
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: smallsharkbigbite on January 01, 2014, 06:31:38 PM: Their problem is the Wii U doesn't meet consumer needs and is thus unpopular. If it met consumers desires, they could charge more and sell more. Since it doesn't, they are going to chase their tail trying to make it appear to have more value (lower prices, make more games) and not fix the major issue which is the console isn't what people want in the first place. Supply and demand sets price. There is plenty of supply, but not much demand and the price will drop at a rate much faster than the Wii to try and gain demand but will likely fail.

Other than that, no, I don't think hardware profits have ever beaten software profits (outside of possibly a couple years of Wii). Nintendo gives detailed revenue information, but they don't give enough cost information to come to a definitive conclusion. However, the variable cost on hardware is always high, whereas the variable cost on software is near zero which leads to the conclusion. The best reason for Nintendo needing their own hardware, is they cut out the approximate 20% licensing fee on their software that they would have to pay on other platforms.

That person went though a lot of work, which I'm not going to recreate. But there are a couple of wrong assumptions within his analysis, and I would be really surprised if Nintendo included royalties with their software division as opposed to their hardware division. It's a usage payment for use of their hardware, and not a result of Nintendo creating software so mixing it with software seems odd to me. I think that would be a reason why hardware would be higher than software as typically the amount of third party games typically dwarfs the number of Nintendo first party games even if Nintendo sells more.

Best case scenario on the hardware side is Apple with their hardware. They get about 40% margin because people think they are superior and have superior apps. Most of our arguments are about Nintendo being niche so I don't think 40% margin is a realistic goal for Nintendo on hardware (maybe 3DS). But let's look at Mario Kart Wii. We'll assume Nintendo received $40/game from the stores. Wii games cost about $8M fixed cost to make and about $2/variable cost (disc/packing/shipping). 34 million were sold.

That means it produced 34M x $40 = $1,360M or $1.36B in revenue. The costs were about $8M fixed + $2 x 34M ($68M) = about $76M. So the profit was about $1,208M or $1.208B or a margin of about 89%. Yes, Mario Kart sells very well, a game that bombs changes things significantly. But Nintendo has several high profile games and rarely sells bombs. I don't see how hardware can be any where near as profitable as software for them.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on January 02, 2014, 05:15:58 AM: It's been established that the GameCube was more profitable for Nintendo than the PS2 was for Sony despite the latter selling something like five times as many units and I would imagine at least as much more software. That money had to come from somewhere.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: smallsharkbigbite on January 02, 2014, 09:48:05 AM: Has it been established? From what I've seen Nintendo doesn't break down profits by product line. Nintendo may have been more profitable during the GameCube era but a great deal of that profit likely derived from GBA and DS profits.

As a software developer Nintendo drives much more revenue than Sony with first party titles which are highly profitable and would tip the scales in favor of Nintendo even if licensing revenue would be lower for the period since Sony sold more games overall.

It's pretty complicated and Nintendo doesn't release enough information to the support the conclusion you are trying to reach.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 03, 2014, 09:18:54 PM: I just ran across some sales numbers for the UK for last year, mostly focused on the PS4 & XBO launches (1st 5-6weeks).

XBO = >2x WiiU LTD
PS4 = >XBO+WiiU

PS4 sold 530k in 5 weeks
XBO sold 364k in 6 weeks

530k - 364k = 166k

which means that Wii U sold less than 166k LTD (as of end of 2013) in the UK and I believe it launched in 2012... not looking too hot for Wii U in the UK.

Do those numbers sound accurate?

When I posted this I felt like this would be a solid number to ease the fears of the fan base, boy was I wrong. I can't believe just how dire the situation appears to be. Despite being the best all around console of 2013, it seems like nothing will start this train. Is it purely marketing? Top 5 exclusives? The tech is lacking but not abysmal by any means. So what gives…

December2013 sales are approx. 461,000
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Bizzy_Fatso on January 17, 2014, 12:41:03 PM: It was far from the best overall console of 2013, unless you're only including "next-gen" consoles, in which case it's hardly a fair comparison. People don't purchase consoles just for the existing games - they need to see strong potential for years of enjoyment out of a system. This is all the more important if they can only purchase one. Nintendo's fundamental problem is that the market can tell their system's potential is severely limited - you're going to get basically zero third party titles (or shoddy downports), and Nintendo and its second party developers seem to put out software at a snail's pace.

I'm going to be pretty disappointed if Nintendo has to go third party because of this gross miscalculation by their leaders. It's so frustrating when the problems are so apparent from the outside and yet they seem so completely ignorant.

Post by: Adrock on January 21, 2014, 08:55:39 PM: I recall reading in like 2011 or 2012 that Nintendo had enough money to lose like $250 million per year for the next like 40 years then like $6 billion on top of that in investments and whatnot which would last another 20-something years. If in the next 60 years or so Nintendo absolutely couldn't turn it around, they would still have their intellectual properties to sell off. I don't know how much truth there is in that, but I never got the impression that Nintendo was really in any danger. All this nonsense of them going third party or developing for Android/iOS just seems silly to me.

Nintendo acts like they don't have those reserves. They're most active when their financials take a hit. When you look at the sharp 3DS price drop in 2011, it wasn't something that had to be so drastic. Nintendo probably could have gotten away with like a $50 price drop, especially with two major titles coming at the end of that year. Nintendo has this nasty habit of becoming complacent when they're successful. They play it safe until they're forced not to. Wii U underperforming might end up being a good thing.

Post by: smallsharkbigbite on January 26, 2014, 10:07:40 PM: @Adrock. Nintendo has $11.6B in cash and $2.0B in debt. That would be good for just over 38 years of $250M annual loss, but no $6B additional loss. That's why I laugh when people think Nintendo can't compete with Sony/Microsoft. It's even sillier because in the technology industry, high quality/new tech typically drives the market. I.E. make a good quality product the market will pay the price(within reason). Not make the cheapest thing possible and hope to not lose money. You've already lost in the market if you feel you can't match basic technology that is industry standard.

But the more important thing is we are the few Nintendo fans left (based on sales). If Nintendo continues their current trajectory, will anybody care what they are doing with video games in 10 years (even if they are still around)?

Sengoku Basara 4 takes the top spot putting Kirby Triple Deluxe and Pazudora Z in to second and third, respectively. Oddly, the Attack On Titan 3DS game is back in the top 10 at the eighth position; probably due to some discount, promotion, new shipment, or new content.

I don't think any console or handheld will reach Wii or DS numbers ever again.
I don't think anyone thought any system would outsell the PS2 at 150 million, and then the DS did. The Wii is lower at just barely over 100 million, I think that will be reached by some future systems.

It won't be the Wii U though, that's for sure. PS4 is probably the only one right now with that kind of potential on the console front. I expect the 3DS to surpass 100 million when all is said and done.

Post by: Sarail on January 29, 2014, 10:04:40 PM: Wow. You lot are generous on the PS4/XB1 totals. I don't think either will even get moderately close to those totals. This industry is in a crux state-of-mind - difficult situations being created because of the fallout of third parties. An industry run only by EA, Activision, Ubisoft, and Take Two definitely will not create that many consoles sold over their respective lifetimes.

With that said, I'd say Sony gets very lucky and hits 35 to 40 million sold, and Microsoft will net anywhere between 20 to 30. Nintendo, as long as their marketing can get their act together, could sell about 20 million when it's all said and done.

We're not living in the days of a vast amount of third parties producing killer content everywhere one looks. Those days are long over...thanks to the four big boys. :/

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on January 30, 2014, 03:30:59 PM: I think the Wii and DS numbers benefit from the timing where this big wave of mainstream/casual gamers was finding an interest in videogames but did not yet have technology that interested them that could play games besides dedicated game systems. Now they have smartphones and tablets and that's enough to scratch their gaming itch. The console/handheld videogame market won't ever attract an audience like that again because that audience doesn't really want to own a videogame system, they just didn't really have a choice in 2006.

I think the dedicated videogame system market will become more and more of an enthusiast market, for those that don't find the shallow distractions of smartphone games to be sufficient to their gaming needs. But that audience is too small to provide Wii/DS style numbers or support the huge budgets we're seeing now. Everything will shrink.

The Nintendo 3DS crosses the 15 million mark this week as dueling mecha and demon hunters take the top two spots. It is likely this will be the last we will see of Super Mario 3D World in the top 20.

Actually Nintendo's own official numbers had 3D World at 590k at the end of December for Japan. You have to remember these charts don't include digital sales which Nintendo does when it combines sales in their reports.

It's selling well on a console no one is buying. It's the sort of game the people would buy if they already owned the system but it isn't enough to convince them to buy the system.

Well the advantage to Mario games is they have long legs. So if Nintendo does find a way to vastly improve Wii U sales in the future with different software, 3D World will still benefit from these later sales as well because people will buy it once they eventually get a Wii U, even if right now 3D World alone isn't enough for many to make a purchase.

I wouldn't be surprised if in May when Mario Kart gives the system a sales bump, 3D World will get a nice bump in the sales chart as well.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 05, 2014, 05:51:32 PM: Followed by that SSB bump as well, it must be nice to have ever green software.

Now if only Nintendo could make more games and less of them related to Mario to fill in those gaps.

My fear that the videogame market is going to move to mobile free-to-pay dogshit and effectively steal our hobby out from under us is really nagging at me when I see these figures. The thing is though, the PS3 and X360 are old. The PS4 and XB1 don't have squat released for them yet. The Wii U and Vita are jokes. The 3DS is the only system right now I would expect to be selling well. Things might do better as the new consoles expand their lineup over time.

It is surprising, especially with recent Pokemon and cheaper SKU. Looking at the bigger picture, I think the health of the videogame industry is following a path akin to climate change. People warned and warned that practices were unhealthy, that AAA game culture was destabilizing the financials, that players were moving to phones and tablets, etc. etc., but the endgame is always assumed to be in the future. I think what the January NPD tells us is that the future is now.

There was supposed to be all this pent-up demand for new consoles after the 7-8 year generation, and I think that was largely satisfied in the first two months of release. Even the PS4's numbers really aren't too impressive given all the fete and fireworks Sony PR was tossing out during the launch. And Xbone is a joke, there's stock absolutely everywhere; it might be duking it out with the WiiU soon in a perverse replay of the original Xbox/Gamecube days.

Looking at the release schedules for the next year, the major games are few and far between. Risk is getting sorted into fewer and fewer baskets. I suspect what's happening is that a good chunk of those 150 million PS360 owners have moved on to social phone yibyabs, but will still pay attention when a GTAV or whatever is blitzing the media. But I bet they have little interest in upgrading to new consoles. Next few months will be interesting.

I think dedicated videogame systems will become a more hardcore enthusiast market but I also fear that the casual buck on the phones is too big to pass up and that we'll get left in the cold. Most of our favourite companies have become big corporations and now they're going to scale down to just appeal to geeks? No, they'll cut the geeks off and try to make a go with disposable mainstream fluff. One thing that makes the situation a little more dire is that videogame systems weren't just popular with gamers but also children. I fear children are moving with the casuals to phones and tablets and were the pre-Wii consoles going to sell as well as they did without kids playing them? Not likely.

I'd like to think though that the PS4 is outselling the other consoles because it deserves to. It is as close to a straightforward videogame console you're going to get in 2014. Both the other guys bundle in expensive controllers that barely get used. Hmmmm, maybe people don't like that. The XB1 is basically a underpowered PS4 with a mandatory Kinect purchase that results in a price increase of $100. It's like Sony was savy enough to realize that the "wacky controller" routine last gen was a fad that ran its course and no one else did. Both Nintendo and Microsoft are hampered by standard controllers that appeared to be included to appeal more to the casual market that has left dedicated videogame systems behind.

Post by: Mop it up on February 14, 2014, 06:50:33 PM: January's always a slow month, I'm not taking this to mean much yet.

I think one big problem is how expensive everything is. The Wii is the only system at $99.99, but everyone already has one of those (and the Mini is less desirable than the previous model). Most every other system is a lot more expensive. The PS3 and Xbox 360 are both still $199.99, or even higher for the better bundles. The XBONE is just ridiculous at $499.99, and I'm honestly surprised and disappointed that the PS3 is selling well at $399.99. The Wii U is still probably priced too high for its targeted market also. The 2DS should really be $99.99 to capture that children's/second system market.

Software prices are generally too high as well, especially on Wii U and 3DS.

We have reached a point where Nintendo needs to offer deals on their eShop games. This is especially true for 3DS games. The issue is that the gaming industry is too expensive for everyone and this is why they are moving towards smartphones because it is cheaper.

Just seems to me to be like flushing money down the toilet to buy a game like that at full price near launch...

I saw a news item the other day about how ACIV is tracking 2 million behind ACIII, despite really positive reception and a year-larger install base for PS360.

Actually the newest Call of Duty is selling less then last years installment as well. So even that franchise is starting to show signs of fatigue.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on February 15, 2014, 02:50:03 AM: In that case, I wonder if people have started to pay attention to who develops the Call of Duty games. People seem to have started liking Treyarch's games better, so some may be waiting for next time. It could be the onset of franchise fatigue though, we'll see in November when the next game in the series comes out.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on February 15, 2014, 09:39:18 AM: Well Infinity Ward is largely (at least design-wise) not Infinity Ward anymore. BTW, Activision has put COD games on a 3-year cycle now, with 3 studios (Infinity Ward, Treyarch, Sledgehammer) working on one game each for 3 years.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread

Post by: BranDonk Kong on February 15, 2014, 12:00:02 PM: They would if they didn't make a new one every year. People would play BLOPS 2 for at least 2 years if Ghosts didn't come out in November (right?), but money.

Dragon Quest Monsters 2 takes the top spot while the new Donkey Kong Country for Wii U takes the 2nd spot with 35k.

Quote
Last week, Nintendo released Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze in Japan, and the game sold an absurdly low number of copies in its first week on store shelves. Tropical Freeze sold just 35,717 copies and barely lifted Wii U hardware sales, which were at 8,782 units.

Here’s an idea of how badly Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze did: Donkey Kong Country Returns, which was released in 2010 for the Wii, sold 163,310 copies in its first week. A port of that game, released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2013, sold 104,569 copies in its first week. Tropical Freeze is nowhere near those numbers.

Next week's results will be exciting as the PlayStation 4 will be launched in Japan on the 22nd of February.

There's an obvious cap on sales potential due to a lack of hardware sales. The console has only sold 1.6 million units. To match the Wii game's first week sales 10% of Wii U owners would have to have bought Tropical Freeze in the first week.

But if existing Wii U owners are not buying the games it might be that they've moved on. Like they didn't necessarily sell their old system but just figured the Wii U is finished so they need to look towards some other platform for their videogame needs. In doing so they don't pay as much attention to the Wii U's release schedule.

The thing is Mario 3D World is only 3 month old and got most of it's 500k sales during December. So there's around 500k Japanese Wii U owners who bought a platformer only 2 months earlier, but seems most have no interest in another platformer. Even with the Wii U's poor hardware sales, Donkey Kong still had the potential to do much better then it did. Hell, Pikmin 3 sold around 100k its first week and boasted hardware up to 22k from 9k the previous week. Plus when Pikmin was released there literally hadn't been anything released for 8 months, so the 3 month gap couldn't explain sales this bad.

The problem in this situation seems to be more the game itself then the system. I wouldn't be surprised if the difficulty of the first game is the real reason for this. It's been well documented the mass Japanese gaming audience prefers easier games and well, Returns was an extremely difficult game. The audience that's used to Mario and Kirby in Japan, if they were to play Returns are going to be in for a huge difficulty spike. Yeah there was a Super Guide in the first game, but if players are constantly being forced to use it in the second half of the game, eventually they're going to just give up.

So now when the sequel comes out, they ignore it because they stopped halfway through the first game. This is the only realistic solution since Returns sold better then Pikmin 2, and yet the sequel to Pikmin sold better then the sequel to Donkey Kong. Despite the fact the last Pikmin game came out 9 years earlier while there's only a 3 year gap between Donkey Kongs.

The PlayStation 4 has arrived in Japan, selling >300k in the few days of Media Create's data. Knack and the latest Yakuza game top the charts. In a long time coming, the Wii U has surpassed the lifetime-to-date sales of the Xbox 360 in Japan.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on February 26, 2014, 06:58:22 PM: Official numbers say over 322k for PS4, which would explain why more people bought Knack than consoles (according to this list), but that's a pretty amazing attach rate, even if the game is **** (it is ****).
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread

DKC did not bounce back.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: ymeegod on February 27, 2014, 07:21:09 AM: "Those are horrible software sales in general for the system."

Knack was free plus a lot of people took advantage of "free download" upgrades for games like FFXIV. it's not really surprising to see low software sales.

The Japanese launch window is a bit sparse but in the fall there's supposed to be more Japanese type games like the Order, KHIII, ect and that's where the PS4 should boom.

There's not a big push for "home" console development in Japan since the 90's--it's all about the handhelds in the land of the rising sun--which is the total opposite of the US and European markets.

After the huge drop from last week, either next week or the week after. Considering how poorly the current software is selling and the fact the system has no major exclusives that will boast sales in the near future, it's going to be below 10k with the Wii U by the end of April.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: ymeegod on March 06, 2014, 01:21:49 AM: PS4 supply is still limited (hell it's limited everywhere) so those numbers might not actually reflect the demand and at the end of April is Japanese Golden Week start so I'm guessing a few people will be receiving an PS4 as gifts as well.

Also MGS Ground Zero is launching in a few weeks along with Nobunaga no Yabou Online, Natural Doctrine, and Dynasty Warrior 8 complete should help the ps4 maintain an 30K average a few more weeks.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on March 06, 2014, 08:06:38 AM: I guarantee PS4 only sold those 66k (right?) consoles last week because there were only 66k to sell. Final Fantasy whatever the hell it is will be out soon, and there are probably a lot of people playing the beta in Japan right now so they don't need to buy a game.

Is it because the Japanese don't buy into hype and promises like Europeans/Americans do?

Japan has become handheld land over the last decade since handhelds have reached a point where every type of game is possible on them now and it fits the average Japanese persons lifestyle a lot better. As a result, home consoles just don't have the appeal they once did anymore.

So for a system like the PS4, where the only upcoming major exclusives that will appeal to Japanese gamers are Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts 3, two games that are at least a year away, there's not a big demand to grab one. Especially when the cheaper 3DS and Vita currently have a greater lineup of games along with more exclusives in the near future to get their attention.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: broodwars on March 13, 2014, 12:25:42 AM: Yeah, I think the PS4's already shown in NA & European sales that Japan really doesn't matter anymore in the long run when it comes to consoles. Sony will probably settle for "merely" outselling every other console in Japan by a fair margin.

They still have 35 weeks to go to beat the WiiU. That's if there isn't a single WiiU sold and the PS4 keeps with the current weekly number.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on March 13, 2014, 07:30:51 PM: Wii U sold more in its first three weeks, so I have my doubts that the PS4 will ever surpass it. Plus, I think the Wii U has more games that appeal to the Japanese audience, and that will likely continue.

No, but it does increase the chance of Nintendo bringing over the Dragon Quest VII remake for the 3DS since both Fire Emblem and Bravely Default opened over 200k, showing the 3DS has a decent sized fanbase JRPG fans that would make localizing that enormous game worth it.

I'm a little surprised to see Lightning Returns charting that high up, all things considered. I wonder how Earth Defense Force 2025 did, considering a recent discussion on NFR.

I don't think Donkey Kong moved WII U units, retailers had a fire sale (example Sam's $100 WII U Zelda bundle--people were price matching that deal like mad since the website stated the units were in stock even though it wasn't).

I hope it's doing well as I am continuing to have fun with the game 75+ hours in, though playing through Hard with the Fencer class has been testing.

Lightning Returns (PS3 + 360) > Bravely Default > Lightning Returns (PS3 or 360 alone).

Wii U sold more in its first three weeks, so I have my doubts that the PS4 will ever surpass it. Plus, I think the Wii U has more games that appeal to the Japanese audience, and that will likely continue.

You can't be serious. Wii U sold really well in most places for its first few weeks, and then it fell off the map. PS4 is in limited supply (still can't find any stock nearby, sold out online - http://www.bestbuy.com/site/playstation-4-ps4/playstation-4-ps4-hardware-console/pcmcat296300050017.c?id=pcmcat296300050017 (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/playstation-4-ps4/playstation-4-ps4-hardware-console/pcmcat296300050017.c?id=pcmcat296300050017)). Nintendo did a great job with supply in Japan, SONY did not.

Yes, Wii U has all of those games that appeal to the Japanese, like that one game in the top 20.

Post by: Ceric on March 14, 2014, 01:40:10 PM: I honestly can't believe there is a supply cap that is make it to ~30,000 in Japan. They are closer to there supplier and they wouldn't want to starve there home region after slighting them with a late launch.

Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on March 14, 2014, 01:54:44 PM: I don't know, maybe they saw how great it was already doing in the US and decided not to chase the third place market and focus on the one that matters most, Sony might be HQ in Japan but their culture is very much world wide, Nintendo is a Japanese company first, Sony is just a multinational company that happens to be based in Japan.

I like how you post a link to an American retailer when once again, we're talking about Japan. The home console market is dying over there and the PS4's launch lineup was terrible, making the supply constant argument pointless for that country. Sony could have had a million PS4's ready for the Japanese launch and it'd still be selling what it is now.

It wasn't just the Wii U, but the Vita also was selling better in it's first 3 weeks then the PS4 in Japan as well, and yet that system also dropped like a rock in the coming weeks because of it's lack of games. If a handheld system being the successor to the PSP which was popular in Japan did terrible after launch because of a crappy lineup, what makes you think the PS4, a home console system in Japan with a crappy lineup is going to do any better?

Post by: Ian Sane on March 14, 2014, 04:49:23 PM: Good to see Bravely Default sell well. It's the only game I've played since it came out and localizing the sequel was dependent on its sales.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on March 14, 2014, 05:26:33 PM: I pointed to Best Buy to show that there is a shortage of PS4 consoles everywhere. To say that the PS4 won't catch up to the Wii U in Japan is just silly.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on March 14, 2014, 07:36:09 PM: There have been conflicting reports over whether or not the PS4 is having supply problems in Japan, but considering the pitiful software sales so far, I don't yet believe it has supply issues in Japan. We'll see how the numbers keep going.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on March 15, 2014, 02:31:12 PM: The PS4 is having supply issues world wide, what makes you think that Japan was given an infinite supply when the US and EU are still having supply issues? Every unit shipped to Japan is a unit not shipped to the US, where it has been selling out since launch pretty much. I think they are getting production up to speed now but they are spread pretty thin as a company who is struggling just to keep their doors open so I can see them allocating resources very strategically at this point. Next year will be the real indicator.

Exactly my point and why I showed stock at Best Buy in the US. How are the software sales pitiful? It has 3 (non-Knack) games in the top 20, Wii U has one.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on March 15, 2014, 03:09:56 PM: Because 35,000 is a really low number. Especially considering the Delay and proximity to were PS4 are made.

You don't sell what was it 400,000 the first week and don't even plan on continue a 10% supply rate of that per week.

Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on March 15, 2014, 03:19:21 PM: you do if they weren't expecting to sell all 400,000 the first week, maybe that was the months allocation and they just sold out too fast and need to reallocate?

Post by: Ian Sane on March 19, 2014, 06:36:14 PM: DKC seems to drop by about 30% each week.

You really get an idea of how bad the Wii U is selling when you look at the sales of Pokémon, Animal Crossing and Monster Hunter on the 3DS and realize that the total sales for those individual games is more than twice the sales of the Wii U. It would be impossible to recreate those sales figures on the Wii U and that more than anything is why third parties are staying away from it. Any Wii U game selling 1 million copies in Japan would be effectively impossible and these days 1 million doesn't make up your budget.

There was only 1 (one) million selling game in Japan on non-Nintendo home console last gen. One of them Final Fantasy games.

GTAV is kinda getting close to million though...

LOL guess you never been to Japan but they are very pro-Japanese and Amazon is an American retailer.

The truth is the top 5 retailers in Japan have been out of PS4 since launch and only getting a small handful of units--not sure if sony bothered sending out more since the Limited Edition MGS one launches this week.

The Mario Party for 3DS takes the top spot as it is followed by many new releases such as Samurai Warriors 4 and Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes. The much derided Retro Game Challenge 3 is in the 11th spot while Sega's Hero Bank at 16th picked the wrong week to be released.

How would it be possible to beat it under 10 minutes?

Not sure about the 10 minute part but here's Polygons review.

http://www.polygon.com/2014/3/18/5519578/metal-gear-solid-5-ground-zeroes-review (http://www.polygon.com/2014/3/18/5519578/metal-gear-solid-5-ground-zeroes-review)

Quote
All told, the titular Ground Zeroes mission took me one hour and 16 minutes to complete, including cutscenes and about eight deaths. That's not the game clock, either. That's real time. The mission is not only short, it's dull. Your objectives amount to going to one place, rescuing a prisoner, going to another place, rescuing another prisoner and then calling in a helicopter to get you out of there. Underwhelming doesn't begin to describe it.

So yeah, the main game is extremely short. I'd imagine if someone skipped all the cutscenes and is good enough, they probably could do it in under 10 minutes.

To be fair, it's 2980 yen (roughly $30) on both platforms it charted on, and Japan doesn't have much in the way of rental... I suspect it'll drop off HARD next week thanks to the used market.

Japan is having a tax hike on luxury purchases, so a lot a of people went out and bought stuff they waited on until the tax doesn't go in effect.

Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on April 04, 2014, 09:29:52 AM: I have noticed they are no longer out of stock in town, I checked all the stores and everybody had PS4 for sale, they still had prominent signs saying "PS4 In stock" but I think the rush has begun to wind down and now the sales will flatten out. Either that or they somehow managed to get their supply numbers up. I live in a very remote, rural town so having them in stock in decent numbers here is something.

What is interesting is Wii U is everywhere but Wii is getting harder to find, have they stopped making them yet? I have never had trouble finding Xbox One in stores here either.

I knew they were shutting down the online but I didn't know they stopped making them, I still see plenty of them in stores. Also I thought the reason for the WFC shutting down was because the company who hosted it made the decision. I just never read anywhere that they already stopped making new Wii's I thought they just released the Wii Mini recently.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on April 05, 2014, 09:10:39 AM: It was discontinued in Japan last year, they never made a statement about the US, but I would assume they would just sell what is left on the shelves, it's not like they are actually different consoles (in any region) besides the power brick. I haven't seen any in any stores in a while.

I didn't expect that.

Also Monster Hunter you gave it a good fight. Maybe you would have won if you split the X and Y skus.

Are they asking to be completely ignored in Japan or is there a hidden stash of Japanese games on the way and they are hoping to build a launch frenzy around that?

I ask only because I have not been paying attention to much of anything gaming, and certainly not for things labeled Playstation or Xbox.

Yeah, I think they put out a press release or interview saying they had prepped all sorts of Japanese content for it, but I also read something that indicated that they're not even trying for dedicated retail space in most stores because they know it's just a token effort to keep their foot in a chained door.

PS4 is tracking behind the WiiU in Japan, though, so the situation is all around pretty crummy looking.

Post by: Ian Sane on April 17, 2014, 12:24:23 PM: I don't think there is any point in aiming a console at Japan these days. Cater to the Western market and if you can sell a few units in Japan as well, good for you.

Part of Nintendo's design decisions on the Wii and Wii U were based on restricting size, noise and energy consumption as these are apparently concerns in Japan. So they're catering their console to the Japanese market and hoping it will also fly in the West. That is really dumb.

But MS shouldn't even bother. The Xbox brand has never been anything in Japan. At least for Sony and Nintendo, it's their home market.

9. The LEGO Movie Videogame (360, PS3, 3DS, NWU, XBO, PS4, PSV) | Warner Bros. Interactive
10. Minecraft (360) | Microsoft (Corp)

The top-selling PC game overall was Diablo III: Reaper of Souls expansion.

And Yoshi's New Island was the "the tenth highest-selling SKU for March 2014, but did not rank in the top ten when looking at title-level sales."

I don't think I buy that. The Wii was successful because of motion control plain and simple. There was general interest worldwide on that.

I've argued in the past Nintendo would have been better off making the Wii more powerful and releasing a Wii HD from the get-go. I think it's hard to argue they shouldn't have done that now. It would have been hard for 3rd parties to ignore a powerful system that sold 100M that was easy to cross port for. But they did ignore the underpowered Wii last gen. It crushed the Wii the last couple of years, and it's crushing the Wii U because Nintendo themselves can't produce enough content. Not losing those third parties would lead to greater stability now.

That's not really a fair comparison. 5 years ago, PS3/Xbox360 had undergone price cuts (pretty significant in case of PS3) and had great lineups. A more valid comparison would be 7-8 years ago when the market was struggling with moving towards high priced consoles and not many exclusive games to move. The PS3 struggled to sell it's first launch million for a couple of months. Then it went on to sell >80M. Sales generally improve greatly after the first official price cut and after a couple of holiday seasons.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on April 17, 2014, 08:54:41 PM: The Wii was designed to go after Japan. They themselves have been saying that most of the time it's been out. They happened to hit on an idea that was also successful (and in some ways, more successful) in the west.

If Nintendo had had any inkling of the kind of sales monster they had on their hands, I'm sure they'd have bumped up the specs and sold it for $300, which, given how long the thing was impossible to find, probably wouldn't have been an issue. But that's like saying Microsoft should've fixed the red ring of death before launching the 360: you only see it once it's too late to do that.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: smallsharkbigbite on April 17, 2014, 09:01:49 PM: The technical specs may have been focused on Japan, but that isn't why it was successful. It was successful for motion control which in no way was a Japanese thing because it didn't even exist before.

It's not the same thing. There were tons of industry analysts panning Nintendo for not going HD. I remember being dissapointed when they opted for not HD and I'm sure many on this board were too. People saw that coming from a mile away. That was a told you so, not a hindsight is 20/20 situation.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on April 17, 2014, 09:06:17 PM: Nintendo has said it was designed specifically to appeal to Japan. I'm going to go ahead and believe them over you. And I think you underestimate how big of a risk it looked like at the time. Nintendo played it conservative when they should've gone all in, sure, but it was by no means a sure thing.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: smallsharkbigbite on April 17, 2014, 09:21:18 PM: It's not believing them or me. They had their blue ocean strategy. Motion controls were designed to be innovative and appeal to everybody and that's why the Wii was popular. I don't see how there is an argument here.

It's easy to say that it was risky but I just don't see how. Every console Nintendo sold sold less than the previous at that point. They were looking at a Wii U if they didn't take some risks. Plus the difference between us and them is they had tried the Wii prior to releasing it. Everybody that gets it in their hands immediately understands it and knew why it was going to be big. If they played it and still didn't think it was going to be big, they are less bright than I give them credit for.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on April 17, 2014, 09:24:36 PM: No matter how good you think something is before releasing it, it's insane to assume it's going to be a massive hit. Without Wii Sports catching on the way it did it was going to end up the way the Wii U is now. Nintendo is, and always has been, a very conservative company.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: smallsharkbigbite on April 17, 2014, 09:28:25 PM: Here's the thing though. How is it a bigger risk? Put $100 more tech into it and charge $100 more. The only risk is if it doesn't move at all then and I don't think anybody really thought it wouldn't move at all.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on April 17, 2014, 09:36:42 PM: As I've said, if they had any real clue how massive the demand was going to be, they absolutely would've done it. There's believing it'd do well and then there's being confident enough in that to price it $100 more.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: smallsharkbigbite on April 17, 2014, 10:00:18 PM: I don't think there is a difference. If you think it's going to do well you price it accordingly. After the Gamecube they probably weren't expecting much more than 25-30M, but they could've priced it $100 more and made that volume work. Then if it becomes the bonanza it did, it's pure profit after that.

I have a hard time using conservatism to justify bad decisions. Nintendo has had 4 straight operating losses, lost all major third party support, and is on track to have the worst selling console since the Dreamcast. I hope they don't conserve themselves into irrelevance in the market.

Plus, you can say Nintendo can't have known how the market was going to go, but they have several people that make lots of $ that have that job description. They are supposed to be good at knowing the markets wants and meeting them and having a good idea of how their console will sell. Nobody said it was easy. I'm a football fan, so I'll give you a football example. Some analysts think the Texans are stupid if they pass on Johnny Manziel because they think he is a difference maker and the best player in the draft. Other analysts think he has too many flaws and is a headcase and they wouldn't draft him at all. Each team has a GM and it's their job to decide to either draft Johnny Manziel or not. They'll either look like a genius or they'll get fired for that decision. Nintendo is playing with real money here, they can't just shrug their shoulders and say their job is hard.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on April 18, 2014, 12:54:33 AM: So you chose an example to illustrate your point in which there's a pretty high likelihood the people making a ton of money to predict these kinds of things will be wrong?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: smallsharkbigbite on April 18, 2014, 08:11:52 AM: Most predictions are wrong to some extent. It usually makes sense to pick an example on the extreme end to show the importance of getting an important decision right. I could talk about the analysis in picking between two cars, but they are so similar now-a-days that slight buyers remorse is about the worse you are going to get by choosing the wrong one and nobody loses their job.

The reality is people at Nintendo are paid to figure out the market and be smarter than us armchair quarterbacks. They've made alot of poor decisions recently (letting Wii go too long, destroying third party support, pricing 3DS initially very high slowing growth, placing Wii U in bad competitive position for multitude of reasons, , not having first party games ready to support console launches, not working on network services, etc.). Somebody at Nintendo makes at least 6 figures (probably 7) to see those are things they need to correct before they happen. You can't expect them to be right 100% of the time, but they should see much of that coming and they shouldn't be so far off (2.8M vs. 9.0M) in their expectations of the market. Most jobs have a level of accountability when you are failing at your job.

Post by: nickmitch on April 18, 2014, 10:07:08 AM: Keep in mind, this is the same company that thought the Wii U's Gamepad was going to catch on. It's clearly not that easy to predict how the market will go.

Post by: smallsharkbigbite on April 18, 2014, 10:50:04 AM: And the gamepad was late to the market and it was never going to catch on without compelling software which Nintendo do still hasn't provided. The last game they made DKC turned the screen off.

All I'm saying is the Wii U is a collection of decisions by Nintendo and the Wii U is failing for those decisions. Some of those decisions were difficult and some were easy. But at end of the day, Nintendo's management is responsible for the Wii U failing and they should have made different decisions to help it succeed.

I don't personally see that as a controversial stance. What's the alternative? That business is just luck? Management of the company has no bearing on performance? Nobody at Apple should ever be commended, they just got lucky that the market went their way? Nobody could have made a Nintendo console successful so we can't be dissapointed in decisions on the Wii U?

Is that the counterargument? I get reading the market is difficult, but the best companies do it very well. Nintendo is in a poor position now because of decisions they made (many of which were questioned at the time)

Post by: nickmitch on April 18, 2014, 01:18:30 PM: Business is risk. Sometimes things take off, and some don't. I'm sure someone at Nintendo was playing Wii Sports and thinking, "This is fun; I'll bet people will like it" then, a few years down the road said, the same things about Nintendoland and the Gamepad. To that person, it might not be immediately clear ahead of time why one concept might take off but the other one wouldn't. My point is that there's no way Nintendo could have known how popular the Wii was going to be. Nobody could know that. And the most certain fact Nintendo has at their disposal is how fun the thing they want to sell is, even if it's a potentially biased opinion.

If the Wii had the same hardware level as the PS360 + motion controls, I have my doubts that it would have taken the world by storm to the extent that it did. I'm much more of the opinion that the big mistake with the Wii was leaving out the second gyro in the Wiimote.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 18, 2014, 02:50:49 PM: They could have made a small bump in specs to allow 720p and a $50 price hike, but yes I think the more damaging aspect to the Wii's longevity was the Motion+ not being present and built in at launch. That stifled creativity pretty quickly for most, while a select few were forced to make it work anyway.

then in 2009 they should have bought the Kinect technology when it was offered to them and had it tweaked track the Wii Motes(2.0) & the body for a more immersive motion experience. Nintendo wasn't willing to double down on success by taking another step forward and push the concept to it's maturity, they instead decided to (half)step the other foot in a different direction, which makes the fact that they fell flat on their face all the more apparent.

I still think the gamepad could have been a stroke of genius as far as marketing and usability if Nintendo had been willing to go all in instead only dipping their toes in the water when it comes to functionality. They really need to purchase or work with an outside company to help them implement UX & UI ideas that just make the systems start to sell themselves outside of just games.
Something like a multi-person video chat system wide & cable box/DVR connectivity with universal remote functionality complete with TV Guide are just two examples that make the system useful to the ENTIRE family without even touching the gaming portion of the system.

People that develop things that take off get rewarded and people that don't either get fired or fall into obscurity.

What are you arguing? That Nintendo is a victim that couldn't figure out the market? They have no responsibility in the Wii U shortcomings?

The Wii was sold out at $250 for like 3 years. When sales tanked price cuts didn't drum up business. I don't think price was a big factor in the Wii success. But that wasn't really my point. The point was the lack of parity with competitors isolated Nintendo from third parties and turned off a portion of core gamers. Those two issues are the biggest things stopping Wii U success and will be the biggest issue in making future Nintendo consoles successful. Maybe $250 was the optimal profit point for the Wii (not really worth arguing at this point). But they sacrificed long term stability and profits by going after short term profits.

So is Michael Pachter.

Post by: smallsharkbigbite on April 19, 2014, 08:26:11 AM: Michael Pachter works for a financial firm and is paid to drum up interest in video game and get people to spend on investments. I thought it was long debunked that he's an analyst that projects the market. I'd say he's successful at drumming up video game interest even if he has to say a bunch of controversial things to get face time in the media. If Nintendo doesn't have someone better than him at projecting the market, then that just points to them making yet another key management mistake.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on April 19, 2014, 08:42:41 AM: I think you overestimate how obvious it was that the Wii would be a success. E3 2006 probably drove it home, but by that point it was way too late to make major changes to the hardware. By the time they had it far along to actually show it to people and gauge reactions, it was far enough along that what you're suggesting was practically impossible. And honestly, I've got a feeling that if Nintendo could do it all again they'd keep the same hardware but raise the price.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: smallsharkbigbite on April 19, 2014, 10:29:14 AM: Okay, here's my problem. It doesn't really matter if the Wii sold 25M, 200M, 50M, whatever. Nintendo definitely should have known that by not giving a control scheme that developers were used to, or power that was comparable to others that they were going to hurt 3rd party relations. Now, maybe you are going to make a budget console and you think that you have to do what they did. You need to have a plan to work with third parties and bring their games to your system. Nintendo did not. That's a complete failure on management part to think that third parties are not important and it's leading to the failure of the Wii U. If they can't have foreseen that, then they are not good at their job.

Next, I think what people are trying to say with "how can you predict the market" is that it's hard to innovate. I'm not going to argue that it's hard to innovate. Look at one hit wonders in the music industry. They make hundreds of songs and only one catches mainstream. Even popular bands are lucky if 10% of their music makes the top 10 charts. So I believe this is also a failure of Nintendo. They've decided that they must reinvent the way people game every generation. The problem with that is they are going to fail more times than they succeed.

So how is it a failure? They should release a solid console with great third party support so if they can't reinvent the way people game, people still want to buy their system. PS4 is looking like it's going to dominate this gen. Is it innovative? Not in the traditional sense because it doesn't do anything particularly new. But it does take the previous gen and does everything better. Nintendo should have a console that as a baseline, does everything better than the previous gen (and this includes having good third party games). It's not that Sony is saying we can't change the way people game, they are working on a VR headset. Maybe it's too early for VR headsets to work financially, or maybe a different technology will supplant that technology. But they are doing things well and trying to improve gaming at the same time.

Tying yourself to innovation (and a very specific type of innovation in reinventing the way people game) is a management failure. It's unsustainable that every generation they can reinvent the way people game and drive the market. Successful innovation like the Wii is hugely profitable which is why they've tied themselves to this goal. The problem is failure is not profitable as they are seeing in the Wii U. They need a safety net when they aren't able to innovate. The lack of safety net is a management failure in my eyes.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on April 19, 2014, 11:03:20 AM: Let me make it clear that my argument is over the situation with the original Wii. Looking back at how that succeeded Nintendo should've seen that trying to pull the same trick again wasn't likely to work. So many things had to fall just right to make the Wii what it was, and it was crazy to expect that to happen again.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 19, 2014, 11:48:53 AM: You do realize that the Wii U is coming off of the Wii which had **** for core 3rd party support regardless of selling over 100Million units right?

You don't just release a new system with "great 3rd party support". Nintendo can't force the 3rd parties to support the system. Now granted, Nintendo didn't do all they could to get every 3rd party on board, but they had a selection of important 3rd parties at launch, such as EA and even that didn't turn out well. If it had, lots of other 3rd parties would have fell in line.

And Nintendo broke the pattern with the Wii U.
It has usually been innovate then refine/expand.
NES -> SNES (side scrolling & controller -> mode 7 & more buttons)
N64 -> GC (3d Graphics, Analog control -> improved more detailed 3D, dual analog)
Wii -> .... (motion control, M+ -> Wii U)
Wii U -> ? ? (just above PS3 level graphics with same Wii controls and a Touchscreen controller)

They were supposed to refine motion control technology on the Wii U and greatly expand on online and account integration. Maybe add camera tracking and leap frog the PS3 era of graphics, instead we got a half baked concept with lots of potential but no ambition towards fully pushing the technology and all it promises.

Let me make it clear that my argument is over the situation with the original Wii.

I accept that the Wii was a huge success. But in my mind, they made one brilliant decision (motion control), some good decisions, and a bunch of poor decisions on the Wii. Those poor decisions may not have affected the profitability of the Wii(because that one decision was so good), but they are leading to their demise on Wii U today. I don't accept that because they had one brilliant decision that they should get a pass for their subsequent poor decisions.

Yes, and the reasons they had no third party support on the Wii was mainly correctable and they chose not to address them. They've said their strategy is to sell alot and third parties will flock to them. The Wii is proof that that strategy doesn't work and is a failure and they still refuse to change that strategy. Without going through the whole third party debate again, I'll just highlight one item that would make a world of difference. Bringing in third parties initially and working with them on what you are doing and seeing if you can include them on development of the console (as far as items they may want to have on the console). Doesn't cost anything, just means you have to treat third parties as partners rather than piles of crap.

So it sounds like you aren't a fan of their management decisions? So you do agree with me then.

That goes back to restricting developers in the '80s and early '90s, then purposely making the N64 hard to developer and only involving a few companies early on. I'd argue the Wii had better third party support than any Nintendo console since the SNES. The Wii only hurt third party support to the extent that it shaped the approach for Wii U.

I've actually been speaking out against the lack of realization of potential in the Wii U and the missed opportunities that Nintendo continually seem oblivious to since launch when it became apparent that this was a half baked product in concept and execution, even if it is still capable and functional for its primary purpose.

I'm not saying Nintendo didn't have a long standing 3rd party problem. It just seemed to me like Nintendo, with the Wii, embraced not directly competing with Sony/Microsoft and embraced that they didn't need third parties making the problem exponentially worse. I loved the Gamecube and thought it had pretty good third party support including most multi-plat games. Most "major" third party games skipped the Wii. This was the first generation that I expected most of the top 10 in the NPD chart to not be on a Nintendo console. Before it seemed likely that it was going to be on a Nintendo console even if the Nintendo version didn't sell the best.

There are dozens of ways Nintendo is mismanaging their resources. We could have a debate of which way is more important to Nintendo's success (or current lack thereof) but that doesn't seem to be of much value for the board (plus it seems there has been other threads that have devolved to that).

The article states that the Japanese total sales of Dreamcast are 2.32 million, and with that country removed, the total for Dreamcast is 8.28 million.

Another point is that I'm pretty sure the number being quoted for the Wii U is the total as of December 31st, 2013. So that would be after 14 months, not 18 as the article claims.

Even with more accurate numbers, the Dreamcast is still ahead. But, it isn't as bad as it's being made out to be. Which is surprising, it's rare that a situation is misrepresented by the media.

Post by: Ian Sane on April 22, 2014, 01:48:48 PM: The Wii U is selling about as well as I figured the Wii would sell back in the day, because I just saw outdated hardware and a lame controller gimmick and figured the whole thing was doomed. I didn't see the potential in Wii Sports because I had never thought of the idea of a new audience latching onto it. I just saw a control scheme that was so restrictive that they couldn't let you control your movement in tennis or do actual fielding in baseball. You have to remember that in the PS2/GC/XB generation the idea of casual gamers wasn't really a thing, and if we used the term we meant people that play Madden. Videogames were played by children, teenagers and young adult males and I never thought someone my parents' age would buy a videogame system.

The Wii U demonstrates that the Wii was a fluke and Nintendo didn't really know what they're doing because when they made the Wii follow up they copied everything, warts and all. They don't know what worked and what didn't so they just copied the whole blueprint. Outdated hardware + gimmick controller + dumb name = $$$! Now did the Wii succeed because of those elements or was Wii Sports such a killer app that the Wii succeeded despite all those things going against it?

Nintendo doesn't know. Wii Sports was a once-in-a-lifetime fluke that unfortunately gave a company that was becoming more and more out-of-touch an undeserved feeling of confidence. It saved them from a catastrophe but they didn't know that so they went out and did the exact same strategy, that should have failed the first time, and this time there was no magical surprise killer app to save their butt.

And just in general it's a great deal, looks like Nintendo is trying to make a strong push to move some consoles this summer. Though the official site only mentions NSMB, Pikmin, Zelda, and Wii Party as potential free downloads. I've almost bit on Pikmin a couple times so I think it'll be the game I go for.

On the other hand, the Mario Kart Wii U bundle is not that great of a deal, $330 a 32GB system, the game, a Wiimote plus, and a red racing wheel...considering how many deals there have been on the system and how badly Nintendo needs to move systems, keeping the price at the $300 price point seems like it would have been smart.

And they should just cut the price to $199, or $249 with all that Mario Kart stuff (except maybe for the WiiMote plus or something). I don't know if a $100 price cut would affect sales in anyway though, it would probably just piss off the install base...but there aren't that many of us.

That would be me--was planning on getting Pikmin 3 anyhow and now I get it for FREE--sweetness. :)

Post by: Enner on May 07, 2014, 03:59:16 AM: DOOMSDAY HAS ARRIVED

The report of Nintendo's fiscal year ending on March 31st, 2014 is here:
http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2014/140507e.pdf

-----
Nintendo 3DS
12.2 million sold, down from 2013's 13.9 million (43.3 million LTD)

3.6 million Wii U units is an aggressive target given past sales. Good luck on Nintendo reaching it. The 3DS is starting to slow down.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: broodwars on May 07, 2014, 06:34:08 AM: My initial thoughts reading those numbers:

- It looks like their revised projections from back in February were fairly on the mark. It'll be interesting to see the stockholders' response to this now that the official numbers are out, though it should help that the losses are not as bad as projected (-$228 million instead of -$240 million).

- 3DS hardware sales are starting to dip despite a relatively strong release year in 2013. A hardware revision can't be too far off in the future. The software's performing nicely, though I have to wonder if they'll be able to post similar numbers this year, as it kind of feels like they blew their software load last year. If Nintendo's serious about trying to salvage the Wii U, you'd think all their software resources would be going into Wii U games now, so I don't know where all that 3DS software is going to come from.

- 2.72 million Wii Us sold last fiscal year and 6.17 million overall sold is just pathetic. That 3.6 million FY March 31, 2015 projection feels awfully optimistic considering what Nintendo has revealed so far and where the Wii U is right now in comparison to the Xbone & PS4, but at least it's substantially more realistic than last year's hilariously out-of-touch projections.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: smallsharkbigbite on May 07, 2014, 08:40:00 AM: 3ds hardware needs a price drop to encourage new sales. It's been two years since a price drop, it's time for another. I feel like Nintendo is reluctant to lower 3ds price because they are losing money on the Wii U but I think the drop needs to happen to get the market excited.

With MK8, SSB, and likely a price drop, I think 3.6 is reasonable for the Wii U. This should be the best sales year for the Wii U though. Lifetime will probably fall in the 14-15 M range.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: nickmitch on May 07, 2014, 09:49:14 AM: Nintendo posted some negative cashflows this year. They're losing less cash from operations, which is good, but probably means they're trying to run leaner: a conservative approach. (Pair that with them reducing short term debt.) But nearly all of the negative cash flows seem to be from stock buy back. They also seem to be selling off a few more short term investments, which probably isn't much to worry about.

Also, did Nintendo announce that they were building a new facility?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Soren on May 07, 2014, 10:04:38 AM: 3.6mil in a fiscal year that will see the release of a Mario Kart and a Smash Bros. is reasonable. What they'll need is a Fall game to really help boost sales instead of depending on the holiday rush.

Wii U is beyond saving at this point. I think Nintendo will just push to make the console profitable and ride it out until at least half-way through the current generation.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on May 07, 2014, 01:08:04 PM: I think 3.6 million is a laughable projection. I don't see how things will get better. The Wii U is toast and its reputation as a flop with no future is going to keep people from buying it. Mario Kart and SSB won't do **** because NSMB and Wii Sports and Wii Fit were all huge hits on the Wii and they've done jack squat on the Wii U. Why would these cliche unoriginal cookie-cookie sequels move systems when those other ones did not?

2.72 million is like what you expect a hit GAME to sell in a year, not a console. Can you imagine looking at this from a third party perspective where in order to have a hit you have to sell at 1:1 ratio for the amount of consoles sold for the entire year? Grand Theft Auto V sold almost twice the entire Wii U's lifetime sales in a span of 24 hours and that game COULD be on the Wii U in theory but isn't. Nintendo's own game, Pokemon X/Y, has sold about twice the amount of the entire Wii U userbase.

So I don't get 3.6 million. How often does a console that sells this poorly start selling better as time goes on? I would assume it would just sell worse and worse each year. Now when they miss this projection surely Iwata will get canned, right? Maybe we need another year of delusional Nintendo to inspire them to get their act together. They're not facing reality yet if they still think they can salvage this.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on May 07, 2014, 02:08:27 PM: Until their marketshare drops below the baseline 20%, 4million consoles in the next 10 months is solid figure. I think its foolish for anyone to assume they have the inside track to Nintendo's 2014/15 idea. "Hurt ain't dead", so until they are dead I like the renewed focus on the WiiU. Still have things going for them.

The best lineup of software thus far.

More attractive price point.

A more realistic expectation of there product, thus not to be blindsided by not knowing what they have.

A secret weapon (me) and that's only half a joke.

Post by: Kytim89 on May 07, 2014, 03:46:33 PM: How much was the recorded loss that Sony posted recently? It was somewhere in the ball park of 1.3 billion. This is despite the record profits of the PS4. Granted Nintendo is losing money, but Sony's loses are three times as large as those of Nintendo. Nintendo can turn it around a lot easier than Sony.

NSMBU still did give the Wii U a successful launch, so it's done something. I don't think that series was ever really a system-seller though. Wii Sports didn't do anything because it was just an HD re-release of the original Wii Sports with online, and it wasn't a retail disc and didn't have much advertising. If they made an actual sequel, I think it would have gone over better. Wii Fit U didn't look like it added much, and I think the whole videogame exercise thing was just a fad that's over now.

Both Mario Kart and Smash Brothers are a much bigger deal than those three examples. If Smash Brothers can sell GameCubes then it should be able to sell some Wii U systems, that game has a lot more fan appeal than any other series. Mario Kart's been consistently popular as well, it also sold some GameCubes, and isn't a fad like exercise games. These games aren't going to boost Wii U to the best-selling Gen VIII system, but 3.6 million in one fiscal year sounds entirely possible and realistic to me.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on May 07, 2014, 08:04:31 PM: 3.6 million would not only be the Wii U's best year yet but if reached would account for more than one third of the total system sales. 3.6 million is more than 50% of the current lifetime Wii U sales.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on May 07, 2014, 09:25:40 PM: 3.6M is the lowest expectation you can have while still keeping your nose above water.

That is a pathetically low amount of units to sell in a year for the system that follows up the Wii which would sell 3.6 mill in Nov-Dec., but only because they couldn't make enough to sell more than that.

They are on track for mid-teens of millions of units sold after a 5 year life span, which is far below even the GC. Nintendo needs a BIG shakeup on the software side if they are going to pull out of this nosedive. I would suggest the Pokemon MMORPG, but even Pokemon deserves much better than that.
They need some piece of must-have, Sony & MS are trying to copy, software, and they need it to show up this Xmas. It's time to take off the oversized Mario gloves and pull out all the stops, to at the very least set up something solid, if not phenomenal, for the next round.

Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on May 07, 2014, 10:51:40 PM: C'mon guys, we have to stop comparing WiiU to Wii for sales figures. The Wii was an exception to the Nintendo rule. PS3 only sold HALF of what PS2 sold. I realize the dire straights the U is in but how much better were you guys expecting LTD? 10mil? More? I know the system is on life support, but its still in 2nd Place not 3rd. 3rd place might be inevitable but I don't believe in fate. The market has changed dramatically. Consoles are not the only way to play games anymore and Japan is a niche market. While on the surface that may seem bananas but if you think about it it's true. It's time to embrace the horror.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on May 07, 2014, 11:33:58 PM: Just because Nintendo says they expect 3.6 million, doesn't mean they're not trying to sell more. After they overestimated big time last year with 9 million, its not hard to see why they picked something low like 3.6 million. They have a stronger lineup so the chances are pretty good they'll hit it and if they go over that amount, they can then spin the news to shareholders next year that the Wii U has exceeded their expectations and doing better then ever.

Seriously, all of you saying 3.6 million is too low, what exactly is Iwata suppose to say? Is he suppose to say 9 million again, or go crazier and say 15 million in one year now? If he picked a number like that and Mario Kart 8 gives a good boast that raises Wii U sales to 6 million this year, while much higher then last year would still be under expectations.

So once again,just because they said 3.6 million, doesn't mean its the highest number the system can sell this year.

C'mon guys, we have to stop comparing WiiU to Wii for sales figures...... PS3 only sold HALF of what PS2 sold..... The market has changed dramatically.

If Wii U was on pace to sell half what the Wii sold I think everyone would feel pretty good about the system and its future. The market has changed but not as drastically as people make it out to be because consoles are still selling well. There may be a point in the not too distance future that console sales fall off a cliff, but we aren't there yet.

PS2 (155M) + Xbox(24M) = 179M PS3 (80M) + Xbox 360 (80M) = 160M (and there will be several million in sales yet for these consoles).

The biggest change was Sony lost their dominance as the Xbox 360 gained prominence. Statistically not much of a drop from gen to gen and if Nintendo is added in with the Wii there was a big growth last gen.

@Luigi Dude, it appears most comments are that 3.6M is too high of an estimate, not too low. I think 3.6M is obtainable with a price drop, software, and no announcement of a replacement (certainly not out of the range of possibility at least like last years projection). But I wouldn't want to put money on the line that they will hit the 3.6M.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on May 08, 2014, 09:35:06 AM: Ironically, if Nintendo could attract a crowd of Vita like users then it still could be worth it. The Vita has a really high attach rate last I checked. There is just a specific crowd that is willing to spend money, and day one money at that, which the Vita is appealing. That would be Nintendo's best option at the moment. Unfortunately, that also mean addressing issues like the UI speed.
Title: One of these things is not like the others:
Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on May 08, 2014, 09:59:24 AM: NES 61.91 Million

SNES 49.10 Million

N64 32.93 Million

GameCube 21.74 Million

Wii 101 Million

I know it may seem as if I maybe blindly sticking up for them, I'm not. However, they haven't sold half as many consoles as the Wii since a gallon of gas was $1.09 a gallon.

"IF YOU WANNA CROWN THEM, THEN CROWN THIER ASS BUT THEY ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE, AND WE LET THEM OFF THE HOOK!"

My point, if there is one. This is who Nintendo is. The Wii, while a phenomenal concept, was a flash in the pan and not indicative of the company's history or future. WiiU is going down faster than a hooker in vegas but I never expected it to do more than 20-30 mil lifetime anyway.

So avg. 3mil per for a 5 year console with a "margin of safety" than yeah the current Nintendo poised to either break even or have some moderate success.

Plus the XBOXONE will never over take it in sales, EVER! So they'll never have to fight out of last place.

I could be wrong but I don't think M$ is going to sell 900,000 XB1's this month. Also while not the biggest deal in the world MarioKart 8 drops this month (albeit the end) and should push a few systems. Then we roll right into june where...more things are bound to happen.

Are there numbers for April? They sold 300K or so in March after a marketing tsunami for Titanfall and still got beat by the PS4. Bill Gates is openly talking about spinning off Xbox. I'm of the opinion that the console space is not looking good from a creative or business standpoint, despite the weird phantom success of the PS4, which I thought would be flagging by now (nearly tied with the WiiU in Japan!)
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on May 08, 2014, 12:21:04 PM: True, TitianFall pushed those numbers high and is to be expected great indeed. I think MK8, E3 and whatever big game they drop in June/July*, coupled with a "price adjustment" and the momentum should carry the 2nd place position for a while.

I'm not saying those are good numbers (compared to PS4), but they are certainly better than the Wii U, no matter how you compare them (and it costs $150-200 more).

Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on May 09, 2014, 06:53:16 PM: I think it is a smart move, as they will make money off the Nintendo fans who aren't willing to buy their console, assuming the figures are sold separately, and they will also get the current fanbase fired up with interesting new games, plus make a **** ton of money on the side to smooth things over and get the go mobile people to shut up for a while. Also making these things work with Wii U, 3DS, and promising to make them a substantial part of their business going forward keeps the collectors locked in.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on May 12, 2014, 05:50:09 PM: You guys are acting like the number is 36 million. 3.6 million is still a pathetically low number for a system that isn't even two years old yet, which is why I think it's reasonable. It doesn't matter if that's more than 50% of the current overall sales, as it isn't like that number is 61 million. It's only 6.17 million. There are still a lot of people to sell the system to, which seems entirely feasible with the system's two biggest games launching this year.

No new releases, a lot of familiar faces. Two Wii U games (Super Mario 3D World and Famicon Remix 1+2) are hanging out in the bottom half of the top 20. It is a time for reflection as you look how many 3DS titles are in the top 20.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on May 14, 2014, 03:33:31 PM: I wouldn't be surprised if Mario Kart 8 hype is causing 3D World to rise. Since Japan isn't getting a bundle like the West, anyone who wants a Wii U for Mario Kart has a reason to buy one right now. Nintendo started airing the ads for Mario Kart in Japan last week, which is the same week we see 3D World got a slight increase in sales.

So if the hype for Mario Kart is already doing it, then it should get a pretty good boast when the game is released.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on May 14, 2014, 06:14:26 PM: I am all for it being a success in Japan but it needs to sell here as well. To be honest this game might be more of a game changer than I originally thought though as the new bundle deal is really a good bargain for those on the fence, its like get the game and get three free games or something like that right?

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on May 14, 2014, 06:19:57 PM: If you have to practically give it away to get people to pay, then by all means Nintendo, do what you must.

If Mario Kart is the nudge that gets the Wii U rolling, then great, but it needs to roll uphill, so they better follow it up with some more solid quality titles, or risk settling in it's funk again.

Hell no I'm being dead up. This was in reference to my earlier post about thE XBOXONE never catching WiiU in sales. XB1 did 115k and WiiU is going to be around 60-75k. This was for the april AFTER TitanFall. I think people really underestimate how well mariokart sells.

115k units 6months after launch with no supply issues and a Nonexistent asian market? I'm not sure this isn't just what the market is going to be for the next 18-24 months. No way they get into China in the next 18months while Nintendo should be there in within FY2015(some kinda wiiu, maybe not a fully realized console, we will see.).

Also 115k is the lowest April for an XBOX console EVER. If Titanfall was Halo5 then we'd possibly be having a different story but As I was once told:

"If my aunt had a dick, she'd be my uncle!"

This is not to say nintendo is free and clear to dominate sales and usher in a new era of hope and cheat codes, I just think folks over estimate the size of the so called next/new-gen footprint. People have so many avenues to digitally entertain themselves, I could be wrong, but I'm not.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on May 16, 2014, 10:38:07 AM: I don't think Microsoft cares about the Asian market, as they obviously do not care about Microsoft. 115k in sales is pretty low, but the price drop will likely help sales. Keep in mind that Microsoft was in second place with those sales (according to NPD), which puts (maybe a little bit of assumption) the 3DS in third and Wii U in fourth.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on May 16, 2014, 11:30:47 AM: Mircosoft doesn't care about the asian market like I don't care about Katy Perry. Ok bad analogy but you get my point. They don't care cause they don't have a shot but given the opportunity they would try.

(side note: I just need like 20min in a room with K.P. and she would be my next ex wife)

The reason I bring up the asian market is the installed base and nothing more. Barring the 2nd coming, Europe is lost to Nintendo like Asia is lost to MS, and even if MS doubles WiiU sale in the Americas it would take another 8-12 months to surpass them seeing at last count WiiU had a 1.2m console lead. (math is iffy)

I could be wrong but doesn't MarioKart have the best attach rate of any game Nintendo ever(not called wii sports) 100million MK games. People love this stuff.

Alright the Exchange rate is 1.68281 Dollars to a Pound. The cheapest in stock version they have is 239 Pounds so 402 Dollars and 20 Cents.

I wouldn't really consider that giving it away.

Yeah that should have been WiiU.

I was expecting to see something more along the lines of 149 Pounds.

That is out of Stock. You can't buy it for that price and I doubt you ever would be able to. They were just clearancing out Basics.

Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on May 18, 2014, 03:12:26 PM: WiiU and PS4 are now selling just about even in japan with WiiU poised to overtake it when MK8 comes out. As far As I know, there are no more ps4 shortages in East Asia and the 8,000 per week number is based on demand.

I am just curious does that mean there are no big games coming out in Japan either for Ps4 then? Because I would expect Sony to try harder in their homeland. I thought there was a new Final Fantasy coming out soon.

Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on May 18, 2014, 05:00:01 PM: time it takes for a console to drop below 10k per week

Gamecube - 5 weeks (shortages)

PS4 - 11 weeks

WiU - 12 weeks

Dreamcast - 16 weeks

Vita - 17 weeks

3DS - 24 weeks (the week before the big price cut, only week the 3DS dropped below 10k)

PS3 - 27 weeks

PS2 - 29 weeks (shortages, PS2 sales dropped to 3k)

GBA - 214 weeks

Wii - 224 weeks

NDS - 322 weeks

PSP - 371 weeks

All by Famitsu

Look at these numbers... For as well as the PS4 has been selling world wide, I doubt it will be able to catch wiiu in japan before march 2015 at the earliest.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on May 18, 2014, 05:35:16 PM: Basically all the games currently available on the system are Western-focused. That, and Japan's overwhelming preference for handhelds, is the cause of those numbers.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on May 18, 2014, 07:01:21 PM: Japan is just not the console megapolis that it once was. When you think about these sales combined with the rise of iOS/android gaming, it trends toward a major decline in that part of the world. Major game designers jumping ship to go indie is a another sign of the shift in the Japanese gaming taste. I'm not talking a collapse, just retraction. Neither Sony nor Nintendo had there ducks in a row for Japan. Could that be because for the first time ever, Japan is 3rd on the list of priorities for the eastern game companies? I don't know I'm just talking over here. I know that Nintendo is targeting Indonesia, India and China big time with an estimated 800,000,000 potential gamers. Lets see how it works out.

Looks like my huge backlog may become my new "frontlog". I kinda mostly dislike western games.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on May 18, 2014, 07:08:02 PM: Sony's clearly treating Japan as an afterthought with the PS4. They're aiming it at the west, at least for now, without huge amounts of effort toward winning over Japan. The home console market there isn't worth planning a strategy around anymore. Nintendo needs to realize that sooner rather than later.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on May 19, 2014, 02:17:09 AM: Well in Nintendo's case, the Wii still sold a lot of software in Japan so it's not hard to see why Nintendo still planned the Wii U with Japan in mind. The PS3 only had 1 million seller in Japan while the Wii had 14 million sellers with 13 of them from Nintendo themselves with some like NSMB Wii selling over 4 million copies. Plus all 13 of those Nintendo million sellers sold even more in the West.

Yes with the Wii U doing poorly everywhere the strategy didn't work this time, but it's not hard to see why Japan was still important when they were planning the Wii U since the Wii still made a lot of money over there, despite it selling much less then in the West. The train of thought is if the system is popular in Japan, it'll be even more popular in the West like all their other home consoles were. Even right now when the sales are terrible everywhere, the system is still most popular in North America with the best selling Nintendo games in Japan, selling even better here, so this way of thinking is still true. Not providing the best numbers this time but the thought itself is still true.

Right, and it's because Nintendo is still a near-singularly Japanese company. There's HQ and then there's localisation and marketing shops set up overseas. Sony is an international megacorp that has increasingly elevated people from western territories. That's why I think expecting Nintendo to turn around and churn out a new PS4.5 console in 2016-7 to compete in the westernized console warz is just never going to happen.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on May 19, 2014, 03:18:46 AM: Basing things on what happened with the Wii is a really dumb idea. The insane way that thing sold was a massive fluke and not something Nintendo had any hope of repeating.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on May 19, 2014, 09:58:08 AM: Nintendo Dominates Japan. A lot of what they did with the WiiU catered to Japan. Looking at the Sales charts the Wii U tends to have more games sold in Japan then the PS4. We're not even talking Handheld into the mix.

Nintendo knows its home territory pretty well. Its everywhere else that is the problem.

let me rephrase my question, were those sales numbers you posted JUST for Japan only or were they including other regions. I need more info for that list to mean anything. I get that Japan is not the major market for consoles anymore, supposedly, but I am just curious what were the games situation like with those previous consoles and were those numbers just Japan.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on May 19, 2014, 11:29:02 PM: Those were for JAPAN ONLY. Dating back about 15 years or so. I did that because up until this gen, Japan was the measuring stick for which a console was judged for the most part.

My other point is with XboxOne doing almost bad in the US and WIIU and PS4 almost tied in japan, Nintendo is in a better position than some thought if they can capitalize on MarioKart 8, E3 and the like.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on May 20, 2014, 10:33:17 PM: Beating the Xbox One does not automatically equate to being healthy. LaserDisc beat CED, Beta Max beat out Video 8, and let me see, oh yeah Jaguar beat out 32X. Yet none of those came close to their other competition. I have no doubt Wii U can sell more than Xbox One but if One is also a failure being less of a failure does not make it suddenly a success.

Bandai Namco, saving idol video games one at a time. The latest idolm@ster game tops the chart. Not bad for a series that got its start on the Xbox 360. The less you know about Moero Chronicle the better for it is a Compile Heart game on the Vita that involves touching. The Japanese version of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed seems to be dead on arrival. Perhaps Sega should have added Hatsune Miku as a racer.

Post by: Ceric on May 21, 2014, 04:12:59 PM: I was thinking about Japan Population. Its 127 Million it seems. Thought it was less. So that means only about ~2% of the Population owns Monster Hunter 4 and ~12% own a 3DS. Looking at those types of numbers puts things in perspective. That's actually not that big of a percentage for ownership...

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on May 21, 2014, 05:59:23 PM: I know all about the handheld preference of Japan, big reason why I think Nintendo is researching a hybrid console/handheld.

I would just find it funny if Nintendo won the console space in Japan on the technicality that consoles are dead, so first come was first served.
Hybrid would be the only profitable way to move forward.
I would think that vita TV would be doing better too... if vita itself was more successful.
Maybe Nintendo can step in, combine all 3 into a hybrid like system and make it work.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on May 21, 2014, 07:23:09 PM: I don't think its a technicality so much as its a value choice. Wii U is just a better value. PS4 wont outsell Wii U year ending 2014, even with a 200,000 console lead and that new car smell.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on May 21, 2014, 07:48:12 PM: It would be a technicality because technically all the consoles would have failed miserably, even if the Wii U sold the most.

Sony wants to win in the console markets that actually, you know, fuckin' matter and make money. The PS4's lineup is very Western-centric but that makes sense because that's the market that buys consoles and it is also the bigger market period. We all make fun of Sony's handhelds but the PSP sold well in Japan, just not in America. Sony probably doesn't care because they're smart enough to cater their handheld to the market that's most interested in handhelds. Sony's approach seems to be to focus their products on the market that is most interested in them and if you get some sales in the other markets, great. Nintendo's approach is to focus on their local market, regardless of whether the product is actually the sort of thing Japanese consumers want to buy, regardless of the fact that it's one of the smaller markets, and presume that that success will translate everywhere else.

So what the Wii U is is a console designed for the market that doesn't want consoles that they hope will also sell in the West. In other words it is a product for NOBODY and is selling exactly like that.

So basically your saying that Sony doesn't care about Japan? Really? So why launch a system in a place you don't care to do well in. I could see if you said XBOXONE, but you said Sony, A Japanese mega company doesn't care about Japan.

I know you're down on the Big N right now but you can't just be blinded by hate or apathy. Yes the console market in Japan is much smaller than it was 5 years ago however, you can't tell me Sony just said the hell with the 30,000,000 gamers over there. Sony makes BILLION$ of dollars in japan off gaming over the lifetime of a console. How do they not care about that. They may have overestimated their position and underplayed the ios /android market share but that's about it.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on May 22, 2014, 01:17:53 PM: I think you read Ian's post wrong.
He didn't say Sony didn't care about Japan, just that they focus their console efforts the west where consoles make big money, and then attempt to translate that success to the handheld market in Japan where handhelds are king.

Also if the consoles happen to sell in Japan then great, and same with the handhelds in the West.

Nintendo does the opposite in attempting to dictate what the world wants based on them trying to mold to Japanese taste. In the case of the Wii U, they catered to neither market with their approach.

If Nintendo's goal is to "win" the console market in Japan then truly they have had their reward. Sony wants to win in the console markets that actually, you know, fuckin' matter and make money.

Nah bra, I read that right. Japan does not matter to Sony in the console market. MircoSoft doesn't care about Japan, that is not only true, it makes sense. Sony has an established brand and while the ups and downs of consumerism changes, you just don't jump ship and the first sign of rough seas.

And why or how would Sony decide that Japan doesn't matter for the PS4? PS3 wasn't the juggernaut many thought it could have been but by no means was it that much of a disappointment that the idea of a healthy console should be abandoned. I'm missing something?

Pick One

Yeah people can say well the Playstation 4 is doing great, but the reason Sony can release systems as powerful as the PS4 is because the company has other divisions that they can fall back on if one of their gaming systems doesn't do well. If Sony was a pure gaming company like Nintendo, there wouldn't even be a PS4 since the PS3 would have killed the company.

Plus lets not act like the West is this glorious market that's making everyone money. Thanks to those insane dev cost to create those pretty graphics on Microsoft and Sony's machines that you like so much, most Western companies aren't exactly rolling in on the dough either. If a userbase of over 160 million 360/PS3's combined with 90% of that in the West isn't big enough to support a healthy industry, the PS4 sure as hell isn't going to change that. Especially when it's already been estimated dev cost are expected to rise up to 3 times as high as they were last gen, which was already too high.

Nintendo designing something more for Japan where cheaper cost is more important might not have been the best thing for the West, but considering just how much of a money hole the Western market has become, did Nintendo really make a bad decision? Catering to a market that has no problem bankrupting itself in the name of the prettiest graphics possible isn't exactly a smart choice either. Yeah Wii U sales have currently cost Nintendo money as well, but they still haven't lost anything close to what studio's lost last gen or would have lost if the Wii U was as powerful as the One/PS4.

Gee, let's all congratulate Nintendo on their bomb not being as financially disasterous as it potentially could of been.

If Nintendo can't afford to match the PS4/XB1 then they cannot make consoles anymore. Sorry, that's what the market expects.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on May 22, 2014, 08:36:11 PM: I don't think Sony nor MS can afford to continue matching the PS4/XBO either.

Nintendo's fault isn't just designing a console that they thought Japanese people would buy and pushing it worldwide, but also making mostly games catered to that Japanese market as well.

Even though Zelda is/was Huge in the west and not so hot in the east, Nintendo still altered the game to cater more to Japanese taste instead of doubling down on western interest. Those types of decisions are what I believe the original point was getting at.

Nintendo could probably make some headway if they opened a few more studios that were focused on more western style games. This is where Rare used to shine, and we all thought Retro would fill that gap.

Funny thing is Sony's most profitable division (from what I remember reading a while back) is their Insurance division.... , and their Movie division <thanks to Spider-man** & Bond*>.

Which surprisingly may not break even still. It could need as little as $640M, which it has already, but it could need as much as $830M, which is absolutely ridiculous, so I'll just estimate somewhere south of the middle at $725M, which means they might not make a profit till DVD sales.

I broke it down in one of the movie threads, but the short version is:
production = $225M
marketing = $190M
est. 50% return on Box Office means double the production & marketing cost
est. marketing cost is probably 50% of budget (product placement/cross promotion)

$225M x2 + $190M = $640M (w/ 50% marketing budget)
$225M x2 + $190M x2 = $830M (w/ 100% marketing budget)

and none of that is figuring in the fact that BO gross in China isn't est. @ 50%, but closer to 20-25%, which is why you aim for somewhere in the middle.[/i]

They might have nothing to counter it but, they also don't need anything to counter it. At the moment there really is no compelling reason to own a PS4 if your happy with the PS3 and you don't want to remote play on Vita.

PS4 does NOTHING better in general terms than the PS3 if your ok with PS3 level of graphics.

They both would have been better off because of it. Nintendo would probably still be in the same funk they are too since the Wii U isn't too noticeably improved graphically over the PS360.

Don't they counter Mario Kart 8 with the fact that the PS4 will be able to play every major third party game for the fall. Might not help in Japan but in the western market that's a selling points itself.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on May 26, 2014, 01:12:28 PM: The Metroid/DK thing is a good example of how Nintendo doesn't get the concepts of variety or demographics.

DK may sell better than Metroid but it is the same audience as Mario so your userbase doesn't grow. Let's say Mario and DK each sell 10 copies while Metroid only sells 5. Nintendo can see that 20 is bigger than 15 so they get Retro to work on DK. But they fail to take into account how popular Metroid is within its smaller fanbase. Metroid is a system seller, just with a smaller market. But that's okay because the really successful consoles typically get their userbase from having a wide variety. Each little sub-genre has a niche demographic that will buy your console if their needs are met. System sellers are different for each person. Who is a dedicated DK fan? Donkey Kong is Nintendo's second tier platform series after Mario. I can't imagine there are many people that don't buy a console for Mario but do for DK.

So Mario + DK = 20 sales to userbase of 10. Mario + Metroid = 15 sales to a userbase of 15. The lesser hit grows the userbase because it targets a different audience. And then as the userbase gets bigger the "broader" hits like Mario sell even MORE because those games have a lot of universal appeal. Not everyone will buy a system for them but they will buy them one they've arrived for a different game. That's why Mario Kart did jack **** for the Gamecube but was the biggest fucking deal on the Wii.

There is a crossover but I simplified it to demonstrate my point. Metroid IS a system seller to SOME people. The game that convinced me to buy a Wii was Metroid Prime 3. That's my point. Different people buy a system for different games. Nintendo just looks at what the biggest sellers are with the broadest appeal and releases those and jack **** else and think things fall into place. Meanwhile the Wii U is a flop so is that strategy sound? Can Mario and DK be called system sellers when the console they've been entrusted with selling isn't selling?

Do you know what I bought a PS2 for? Fire Pro Wrestling Returns. My brother bought it for Disgaea. A friend of mine bought a PS1 for Skull Monkeys of all things. That's how it all works. But Nintendo just assumes that they have Mario so everyone will flock to it. So much so that they'll go with two Mario games, two years in a row and then follow that up with a game that plays almost exactly like Mario. An increasingly homogenus lineup from Nintendo with no third party support is just going to appeal to an increasingly narrower audience. They need variety to win different people and different demographics over but instead they're squeezing out franchises like F-Zero, Star Fox or Metroid. They fail to see the value of games like that.

I agree with most of what you say, although DKC: TF is better than New Mario U in almost every conceivable way. I think that will get fixed in the next couple of months. There is no way to fix this issue overnight and the variety necessary to sustain with the overall gaming populous is sorely lacking. Still, currently Nintendo has the best New-Gen lineup with a better 6-12 months prospect. After that...

I got a Dreamcast for Soul Calibur and if that's the only game I ever played on that system, I would have been happy. Gears for Xbox. Hard to say what game will sell to the masses but it helps if its a classic, or close to it.

If that's the way you want to go with this then literally every game ever made and will be made is a system seller. The distinction of "system seller" isn't one anymore since we're reducing it to " a game someone, somewhere buys a console for." Using the more traditional definition of "system seller," Metroid isn't one. This isn't favoritism either as Metroid is my favorite series; I like it more than Mario and Donkey Kong combined. While I strongly would have preferred Metroid as a consumer, I think Nintendo and Retro Studios made the right call from a business perspective. Nintendo hasn't trusted the series to carry a holiday season in 10 years and for good reason. Metroid is a supplementary release and if some buy a console for it, that's just a bonus.
Quote

Using both your definition and the widely accepted definition, yes. Wii U would be selling far worse without those games. More to the point, if you replaced either with Metroid, Wii U would probably be selling worse than it is now. Any combination of those three series doesn't change the fact that there isn't enough on the console in general for it to be selling well. Nintendo went with the two with the greatest sales potential.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on May 26, 2014, 06:33:50 PM: I maintain the very logical assumption that NSMB and DKC are similar enough that most people that didn't give enough of a **** about NSMB to buy a Wii U would not suddenly be encouraged by DKC. And the sales figures suggest that that assumption was dead on. Nintendo's first three attempted killer apps for the Wii U were all of the same genre which is totally putting all your eggs in one basket. Even if NSMB U sold like hotcakes, what new customers were SM3DW and DKC going to attract when all three games target the same people? And if one didn't move consoles, NONE of them were. Either Mario platformers is your killer app or it isn't and having a second or third one isn't going to change your mind. There would obviously be some potential customers that would want a few games of their favourite genre before making the purchase but it's still very limiting to cater so much to one genre at the expense of others.

I think Nintendo just assumed the Wii U would be a big hit from the start. NSMB U would be a big success and move systems and then that large userbase would eat up the other platformers that were to come. And Nintendo Land would be a big hit too and then that same userbase would buy the similar Wii Party U and Game & Wario. Take the two most popular genres on the Wii and go all in at the expense of all else. Essentially it's Nintendo's version of Square Enix's stupid FFXIII strategy where years of product development was set in place based on the presumed success of one title.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread

That said, a single Metroid game isn't what I would call variety. At this stage, releasing games that have the greatest sales potential overall makes the most sense for them. There is no single thing Nintendo could have done differently that would have significantly improved Wii U's standing outside of some Wii Sports-like miracle game/pop culture phenomenon and those just happen; companies can't bank on that.

And I would hope Nintendo assumed they had a hit on their hands otherwise why even bother making a product they think is going to fail?

I think that is what makes coming to market with a bunch of games as important as possible because you never know which game is going to push somebody towards a purchase. I think the whole "system" seller thing is vastly overrated.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_games (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_games)

Only 40 games have ever sold 15M + according to wikipedia. Would Nintendo like a game that would move 14 million Wii Us? Heck yeah they would. But another 14 M Wii Us and we still have a modern day poorly selling console. Really only Tetris, Wii Sports, Nintendogs, Pokeman and Super Mario Bros are the only definitive system sellers on this list. The others are debatable. Games like the Sims/Sims 2, or PC games in general aren't usually system sellers since most people already have PCs. Wii Sports Resort/GTA 5 were iterative and already sold to the same demographic that already owned the system. A game like Call of Duty is released on every system so it's likely not a system seller as it's highly unlikely someone who had no interest in gaming before is going to up and buy a system for Call of Duty.

It's like if you started working on a sequel under the assumption that the first game would be a hit but then it ends up being an infamous bomb and you're stuck having spent money and time on a half-finished sequel that no one wants. A more logical approach on Nintendo's part would be to focus on variety at first and then follow up with more of the same on the stuff that takes off.

You state that Nintendo can't rely on some Wii Sports-like miracle game/pop culture phenomenon but that is what they did. Everything to this point thus far was set in motion years ago on the assumption that they could recreate the Wii's success from the get-go with NSMB U and Nintendo Land. If they understood that the Wii was once-in-a-lifetime then they probably would have done things completely differently.

I agree that if they had Retro work on something else instead of DKC it probably would have made no difference for the Wii U but that's more because the console is so fundamentally fucked up. But in the future, when deciding on what their teams should be working on, variety should be something to consider. Particularly when you know third party support is going to be ****, it makes no sense to have multiple teams working on very similar games while entire genres are left unaccounted for. EAD and Retro were effectively working on a redundant projects.

Do you know what I bought a PS2 for? Fire Pro Wrestling Returns. My brother bought it for Disgaea. A friend of mine bought a PS1 for Skull Monkeys of all things. That's how it all works. But Nintendo just assumes that they have Mario so everyone will flock to it. So much so that they'll go with two Mario games, two years in a row and then follow that up with a game that plays almost exactly like Mario. An increasingly homogenus lineup from Nintendo with no third party support is just going to appeal to an increasingly narrower audience. They need variety to win different people and different demographics over but instead they're squeezing out franchises like F-Zero, Star Fox or Metroid. They fail to see the value of games like that.

Pikmin 3
The Wonderful 101
Bayonetta 2
X
SMT X Fire Emblem
Hyrule Warriors

Oh yes, nothing but platformers aimed at Mario fans. ::)

Only two of which were actually made by Nintendo (Pikmin 3 & X), and only TWO of which have even been released yet (Pikmin 3 & Wonderful 101). And of the ones that haven't released, 1 has only been shown off using concept art from other games (SMT X Fire Emblem) so it's pretty much vaporware by now. 1 more looks like **** (Hyrule Warriors).

It's also worth noting that the games on this list pretty much sum up the Wii U's entire announced software lineup for the rest of its lifespan. That's some variety, especially when half of the games on this list use the same bright, cartoony art style (nothing against the art style, but when every game on the Wii U has the same look it gets old).

Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on May 26, 2014, 09:39:45 PM: Gaming demographics differ from political ones. You can generalize, but it lessens the validity of your point. Who expected Donkey Kong to sell WiiUs? Not one site, including this one pegged that title as a "system seller", formally known as a "killer app"? I don't think Nintendo thought that either. It was a supplemental title at best. A support trophy if you will, not on the main roster.

Which leads me to the meat. Smash bros. is the ONE. The game that can and will sell systems.

Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on May 29, 2014, 08:46:08 PM: I don't get the notion Wii was a once in a lifetime success considering Sony had TWO generations in a row that sold that well and had that same level of success. PS3 is considered a "flop" because it 'barely' sold 60+ million and somehow SNES which sold less than that was a smash success? I think people put too much into the numbers.

I don't think Metroid would have moved consoles. I don't have a Wii U yet but I am still interested in Super Mario 3D World and DKC:TP, a new Metroid for me at least would have to be a side scroller like the old ones or else not interested. I enjoyed prime but that was it, I didn't care one bit for it's sequels.

The Playstation did big numbers, had all the support and long steady sales because of it.
Playstation 2 did bigger numbers, had all the support and did even longer steady sales because of it.

Wii came off a failure, had little to no serious support, was sold out for the first 3 years, and did record numbers in those 3 years based off of HYPE and Nintendo Wii___ games. Had the Wii held long steady sales like the PS/2... it would have sold like 200M systems by now. It was a once in a lifetime lightning strike on a gold mountain encrusted with diamonds. Nintendo obviously couldn't recreate it if they wanted to... because they already tried and failed.

PS3 is considered a "Flop" because despite selling 60Million consoles, they lost every bit of profit from the PS/2 generations in the first 3-4years on the market first.
Just as the Xbox Division is considered a disaster despite selling 50-60M X360 consoles, since regardless of what they have sold, the division has yet to come within $1B of breaking even, much less making a profit.

SNES was a "smashing" success because it was awesome. It was the Playstation before there was a playstation. It may not have sold as much as the NES, but there was a smaller market and stiff competition from Sega, and other competitors in the market like NeoGeo, CDi, and a few others I can't remember right now (Pippin?) that the NES didn't really have.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on May 29, 2014, 09:54:52 PM: PS3 wasn't and isn't a flop. It wasn't profitable for a long time, but it still sold over 80 million systems (don't know where that 60 came from). Xbox 360 also sold 80 million.

The Playstation had stiff competition for a year too. Most of that was killed off early on but when it launched it was up against Sega CD, 32X, Saturn, Jaguar, Neo Geo CD, 3DO, and it was a new unknown company to the video game arena. They didn't just put it out and it sold like hot cakes it took off quickly sure but it was a bumpy first year, it's first year it was out sold by Saturn. There were others out there and by the time n64 came along most of the other competition was long gone leaving just PS and N64 to duke it out as Sega was already showing their irrelevance by then.

PS2 had a big help in that it was ridding the success of PS1 and it was riding the DVD hype train for the first year or so. Once that wore off it was too late the machine was up and running. Wii sold like crazy Nintendo could have turned that around and repeated it with Wii U, they chose not because they listened to those who wanted a supposedly more hard core machine. Wii was only $250 when it launched, which was of course barely fifty bucks higher than it's predecessors, Ps2 was priced for the masses it launched at $300 bucks, could play PS1 and Ps2 games and was a decent DVD player for the time, price wise anyways. PS3 was over priced when it was new Wii U is still overpriced for what it is.

Wii lost steam early on but at least it had some steam to being with, Game Cube was an uphill battle the entire time and yet it did better than Wii U is doing right now. The reality is nobody can predict where Nintendo did wrong or what will fix them, not even Nintendo can figure it out so it's just such a crazy business. If anything in the gaming industry made sense Atari would still be running the show.

News flash: 1st party Nintendo title sells well on a console built to only sell 1st party Nintendo games.

Are you being sarcastic? I think you're being sarcastic. He's being sarcastic folks.

Wait! WAIT! We're getting an update! "Breaking News: Wii U owners with nothing to play for 3 months decide to spend money on new Nintendo 1st party title! Truly, this is a game-changer in the Wii U's fortunes as the console looks to have its next retail title in...December-ish, 6 months later. Back to you, Black!"

I can't quite tell, but that is sarcasm, right guys? It's so hard to tell on the internet these days.
Where is my sarcasm detector, that would totally come in handy right now.

I think I figured it out. I think. Maybe. But I think it means that if a Nintendo home console game sells poorly it proves the Wii U is the bust it was always meant to be. But if it sells well it means it doesn't matter because Nintendo titles always sell well on Nintendo consoles...as if they had any other place they could sell on. Or something.

It's like you can't lose. Or win. Or I don't know. What's sarcasm?

Wait! Facts are now sarcasm? Well, this just in! For every action there is an equal and oh so opposite reaction.

Are you being sarcastic too? Seriously I can't tell, it's such a hard thing to read online.
Personally, between you and me (don't tell anyone but...), I was being facetious, atleast that's what I was told. Not sure what that means, but whatever. I wish I had a dictionary so I could look all this stuff up. I'm so confused right now.

Post by: Khushrenada on June 03, 2014, 06:26:43 PM: Well between you and me, I don't even know what sarcasm is. I was just trying to fit in by using the examples of what other people were calling sarcasm. I guess I was being satirical but I don't think it is the same as sarcasm or facetiousness since it is spelt differently.

Mario Kart 8 tops the chart with 325k. Yokai Watch clears 1 million units.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: broodwars on June 04, 2014, 04:17:44 PM: Looks like even Mario Kart 8 can't move the Wii U hardware needle that much. Granted, though, this is Japan. It'll be interesting to see how Wii U hardware sales shake out on the June NPDs (remember, Mario Kart released on May 30th, so won't be much of a factor in May's NPDs).

Post by: Soren on June 04, 2014, 04:23:10 PM: That's pretty bad. I expect the bundle to sell way much better in NA but now I don't know. I'll guess maybe 20-25% may have bought the bundle.

I think you mean "good".

There was no bundle in Japan and no get a free game digitally deal either. So in the West the hardware bump should be much greater since we were given a much better deal. If somebody wanted to buy a Wii U just for Mario Kart, in the West the bundle not only saves money by giving them the system with Mario Kart cheaper then it would have been to buy the previous Deluxe and Mario Kart separately, they are also given a free game of their choice as well.

NPD: Mario Kart 8, on sale for two days in May, was the #2 selling title for the month.

Combined with sales news last week during E3:

David Gibson -
#nintendo in analyst meeting said in usa sold 450k of MK8 in 3 days versus 250k on MK7.

#Nintendo said MK8 attach rate in US was 18% versus 7% for MK7. MK8 boosted WiiU sales 4.1x week over week v. MK7 2.4x

Post by: Soren on June 16, 2014, 07:08:01 PM: That's insane.

Gaf sez around 60k sold for hardware. Again with the bundle only being on sale for 2 days in May.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on June 16, 2014, 07:30:35 PM: I still see plenty of Wii Us in stock everywhere (include MK8 bundles). I'm going to wager this will be a short boom in sales, unfortunately.

That makes sense for a higher attach rate at launch, since there were tons of people that bought a Wii U with Wii Sports and never bought another game (including senior centers, rehab facilities, etc.). We'll have to see a full month's worth of sales before we can really make any type of judgment though.

Quote
Gamers spent $586 million on new physical gaming software and hardware in May, according to industry-tracking research firm The NPD Group. That is up 52 percent from $387 million in 2013. Major multiplatform releases like the ope-world Watch Dogs and major exclusives like Mario Kart 8 were big contributors to the strong performance. This is a good sign for everyone making games as it reveals that U.S. consumers can sustain spending at high levels well beyond the holidays, when the year’s biggest blockbusters and news systems go on sale.

Xbox One and PlayStation 4, the two new consoles from Microsoft and Sony, are also continuing to sell well. Hardware generated $187 million in May. That’s up 95 percent year-over-year compared to May 2013′s $96 million.

Consumers spent $274 million on new physical games at retail in May. That’s up 57 percent from $175 million last year. This is one of the biggest months in a while as those who already own devices are now rushing out to get experiences for their new machines.

1. Watch Dogs (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PlayStation 3, PC)
2. Mario Kart 8 (Wii U)
3. MLB 14: The Show (PS4, PS3, Vita)
4. Wolfenstein: The New Order (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3, PC)
5. Minecraft (360, PS3)
6. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (360, PS3, PS4, Xbox One, 3DS, Wii U)
7. NBA 2K14 (360, PS4, PS3, Xbox One, PC)
8. Titanfall (360, Xbox One, PC)
9. Kirby: Triple Deluxe (3DS)
10. Call of Duty: Ghosts (360, PS4, PS3, Xbox One, PC, Wii U)

A pleasant surprise to see Kirby peek in there.

Well, considering Nintendo was quoting 1 million in sales worldwide for Mario Kart (including digital) that opening weekend and Ubisoft was quoting 4 million sales worldwide (including digital) for Watch Dogs, I don't think it would have made any difference in their respective rankings. Hell, IIRC Ubisoft said that half of those 4 million Watch Dogs sales were on the PS4 alone so Watch Dogs probably would've won the Single SKU rankings, too.

Post by: ymeegod on June 18, 2014, 05:46:05 PM: June 18, 2014, the day the Vita official died. Sony is throwing in the towel and washing its hands with the poor little Vita. Where did they go wrong?

1. That whole memory card issue, pissed off more people at the gate which squandered the intial installer base.
2. Relieved to much on third parties games but didn't keep an eye out for quality, I'm looking at you CoD and Asssassin's Creed,
3. Should've tried harder to get the sequels to the games that fans wanted, namely God of War, GTA Stories, and Capcom's Monsterhunter.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Khushrenada on June 18, 2014, 06:53:11 PM: They said fewer games not no more games. Of course, they could just be saying that to keep the Vita owners from freaking out while planning to stop making anymore at all. If they are still making games and supporting it, then I'd say that it isn't dead yet. It sounds like it could be what the Wii was for the last 2 years of its life though.

That still doesn't mean much considering how terrible the Wii U sales are. Especially when Microsoft has spent a lot more money on the One then Nintendo did with the Wii U. They could sell over twice as many systems in America then the Wii U does worldwide, and yet Nintendo can still end up making more profit off the Wii U then Microsoft does off the One.

In this industry, selling more doesn't mean making more.

In the states yeah, the one will sell marginally better than the U on a monthly basis but the way things are looking, the other markets for Xbox may not be the windfall they were expecting. "Its hard out here for a pimp" and things like that.

According to vgcharts.com the WiiU has a 1.7million console lead and is already outselling Xboxone in both the US and Europe. Of course that's mostly MarioKart bump but the fact remains a lead is a lead until it's not. "And if you were a man you would've done it already"

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on June 20, 2014, 05:35:37 PM: XBox One in particular is feeling hard the lack of Next Gen Exclusives since the PS4 one consistantly outperform it and the 360 is getting all the games if you don't care about performance.

Why would the One crush the U?

Because by this time next year the Xbox 360 will probably be discontinued, and people will buy the Xbone to play the next Halo, Call of Duty, GTA, etc. I still stand by my original statement from a year or so ago that the PS4 will simply dominate this generation, but Xbone will pick up the pace soon enough, and sadly, the Wii U will go back to sub-GameCube level sales until the next big game comes out. Smash Bros. will probably be the next system seller, Zelda, unfortunately, not so much.

VGChartz is widely known to have "made up" numbers extrapolated from who knows what. They constantly change their numbers to be more inline with official numbers and this has been documented almost everywhere. The creation of the site has a history with NeoGAF and it's creator being exiled for repeatedly dropping fake ass sales numbers in their "internet is serious bizness" sales threads w/o being able to back it up.

Their site may have gotten more legitimate sources over the years, since they have grown in notoriety and even been cited as "source" by publishers that apparently liked the numbers they were sharing, but they were founded on bullshit and called on it ever since.

You can continue to use them as the source of info for discussion, but don't be surprised when other call you out on your source.

use the [/code] tag to format the hardware so that's easier to read.
that's something I learned from Salesbot before he ended up on the back of a milk carton (RIP salesbot)

And Sony must be so disappointed to see the PS4 move so few units in Japan. I wouldn't be surprised if MS didn't even bother.

Pretty sad, and frankly somewhat shocking, to see SONY doing so badly in Japan right now - then again, console sales and killer app game sales tend to go hand in hand over there, up to a certain point in a system's lifespan.

Swerd, I didn't know that about them. I was looking for another site to corroborate the facts I read on NEOGAF and MiiVerse. That was the site that linked from a google search. Thanks guys, I will no longer use them and will find a more legit source in the future...MUCH UNSATIN.

You won't find any legitimate sales sources outside of paying alot of $ or reading annual financial statements from the big 3. Japanese sales are released regularly and posted here. Some NPD data gets leaked but largely the data is paywalled. Europe has some countries that track but it's rough to get a picture of that region.

I like Vgchartz.com for what it is. They do do some of their own tracking, but their standard deviations are much higher than paid groups as they don't have the resources to track as well as an NPD. They release data fast and update to the most official #'s available. Their current #'s may not be the most accurate, but they do update historical #'s which increases their utilization in my mind. Current #'s and games that aren't big releases do tend to be off. But historical console sales and big game releases (in time) tend to be very accurate. You could spend some time verifying their historical #'s in accurate financial statements (the only true official reports) or you can take their historical #'s for what they are. Fanboys get all riled up when you use Vgchartz.com because they can only take being wrong once a year (when annual reports get released).

The NPDs have yet to come out, but initial rumblings say that Watch_Dogs (PS3, PS4, 360, XB1, PC) takes the top spot with Mario Kart 8 in second after selling 470k in June.

I agree, I've been thinking the same thing recently. It's great that Mario Kart 8 has done so well and the Wii U has seen an increase in sales but there just isn't anything to keep the momentum going. If there was another big game hitting towards the end of summer maybe they'd keep things going but I have a feeling sales are going to drop way off until the holiday season hits.

Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on July 18, 2014, 04:30:29 PM: They need to do something. I do realize that the summer is a bummer for the gamer but other than Shovel Knight, which in all fairness maybe Game of the Year, there is nothing at all. I'm not even sure if there are enough indies / eshop / VC titles to hold off starvation. Fall/winter is a beast if there are no more delays but July/Aug/Sept is a straight up famine.

What can Nintendo do, though? They can't just pull a game out of thin air. Is there anything that's Japan-only they could localize? That's about the only way they could fill out the lineup.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on July 23, 2014, 07:14:08 PM: I am un-surprise.

It's already been for sale through the console for a while. Couple that with the sluggishness of the Wii U and consoles in general in Japan makes for an unfortunate sales turn out. Plus I believe the motion/sportsgames fad has wound down anywhere that is not a retirement community. It will not have the clout it once had again methinks.

Post by: Shaymin on July 23, 2014, 10:23:35 PM: At least Wonderful 101 no longer has the worst launch week for a 1st party game on WiiU.

If Level 5 can get their shipments sorted, they might clear 2m next week. Oreshika's a little low for my liking, and Atelier needs to get off the annual train.

Post by: Adrock on July 24, 2014, 09:46:28 AM: I'm not surprised by the sales of Wii Sports club considering how long the individual games have been on sale on the eshop, the state of consoles in Japan, and at its core, it's still an 8 year old game. I will probably pick up a physical copy at some point.

Post by: Khushrenada on July 30, 2014, 12:46:40 PM: Aside from the Smash Bros. 3DS game, I don't see any other software being released in that time that would help boost sales. Unless there is another price drop, I'd be surprised for that many adopters to suddenly buy in. Still, it has a quality library and has definitely been a worth successor to the DS so the appeal should be there for gamers especially with most systems really not getting many games and so many getting delayed to next year, so maybe?

*shrugs* What do you expect when the PS4 didn't launch in Japan till February, and there's really no Japanese 3rd party support? The Wii U can rule the Land of the Dead, where consoles don't sell. The PS4 has the rest of the world right now.

Post by: Stratos on July 31, 2014, 07:54:39 PM: I think the bump will be enough to even out the entire FY because there will be slumps like the first half of this year and August/September if MarioKate and eShop Olson can't keep pace until Hyrule Warriors releases.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on July 31, 2014, 08:07:57 PM: Nobody's buying the system for Hyrule Warriors, though. I imagine that's going to have a fairly small niche made up primarily of people who've had a Wii U for a while now.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on July 31, 2014, 08:10:25 PM: I'm merely using that as the marker for the beginning the the major fall/holiday window for Nintendo when sales of everything tends to jump up until January. I agree it will be more of a service title. But service titles can still "service" their sales momentum when coupled with other releases.

Some Nintendo fans could be holding out for one or two more titles they would buy to get a system and this fall/winter may be the cusp that brings them over.

Smash Bros comes out during the holiday where Nintendo systems always get larger spikes. Last year the Wii U did over 700k in America alone during the November and December holiday season and another 500k in Japan during the same time. With the lineup being much stronger this year during that same time, the spike for Smash Bros should be much larger as well.

Really, other than the Wii U, which other system has a library of games that warrants a purchase for people other than early adopters? I say this as someone who jumped to get a PS4 once it was available.

If you base it on internet chatter (I know, real scientific), there seemed to be a lot of people claiming they were on the cusp of buying one, but were waiting for either the next Mariokart (out now), Smash Bros (Winter), or Zelda (2015lol). Not to say the system is going to suddenly be the top seller, but they're certainly going to get some more owners as time goes on.

Price reduction and holiday bundles usually do wonders with sales, hell even that installment plan MS had before could easily be a factor.

If I was Nintendo I would go with an $200 console (with gamepad) with $50 eshop credit. And maybe an holiday bundle (limited edition) with a new color at $300 bundled with 3 games (one of those 1st party, one indie, one third party) and or course an extra wii u gamepro controller.

Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on August 04, 2014, 05:30:26 PM: Last Christmas I wasn't even interested in a new game console, I had barely got my PS3 in August and I was homeless for most of December. This year assuming things keep going the way they are I will be getting either a Wii U or a PS4 for sure. I am leaning towards Wii U since E3 showed off some great games and I am hyped for Hyrule Warriors. The techie/geek in me wants a PS4 pretty bad just because though so we will see which one prevails. Either way I very seriously plan on getting one or the other assuming things keep going up.

I am not sure how much Toad will sell the system though. I think it looks like an amazing game but I think some sort of price cut might be in order but we will see.

It already is. For the last month, the sales have been in the 15-20k range per week in Japan, which doesn't happen to the average game well over a month after release. Plus the sales for last week increased from the previous week, two months after launch which is a pretty telling sign as well.

It'll be interesting to see what next weeks numbers show since this week is a holiday in Japan, and Hyrule Warriors is released as well. If last week which was a non-holiday and something like a Dragon Quest X rerelease could cause an increase, this week should cause a bigger one.

Possibly. However its also possible that the Nintendo/Musou-crowd is simply under-represented since there hasn't really been an opportunity, we shall see I suppose.

It'll sell in the US with that, but not in Japan. Only diehard Zelda fans will get this, or super diehard musou fans who end up buying a Wii U just to play this version.

"MILLION-MILE MARKERS: MARIO KART 8 CROSSES 1 MILLION, NINTENDO 3DS SOFTWARE HITS 40 MILLION"

Quote
Mario Kart 8 has now sold more than 1 million total units in the United States alone, becoming the second Wii U game to cross that milestone, along with New Super Mario Bros. U (1.69 million). Mario Kart 8 continues to drive momentum for the Wii U platform. Through the first seven months of 2014, total sales of Wii U hardware and software have increased by nearly 60 percent and more than 135 percent, respectively, over the same period in 2013.

...

• Mario Kart 7: 3.48 million
• Super Mario 3D Land: 3.09 million
• New Super Mario Bros. 2: 2.28 million
• Pokémon X: 2.10 million
• Pokémon Y: 2.01 million
• The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D: 1.39 million
• Animal Crossing: New Leaf: 1.36 million
• Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon: 1.33 million
• The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds: 1.09 million

Four of the 10 best-selling software SKUs for July are exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS platform. This includes Tomodachi Life, which finished at No. 5 and sold more than 85,000 units in its second month, and Pokémon Y (No. 8), Pokémon X (No. 9) and Mario Kart 7 (No. 10). Those last three games appeared on the list despite being on the market for 10 months, 10 months and 31 months, respectively.

Nintendo of America still lists Captain Toad as on track for holiday this year.

Wii U sales are even worse than I thought. Mario Kart is only the second Wii U game to sell 1 million copies in the US? That is absolutely pathetic. Not even Super Mario 3D World? Wow. As I recall saying would happen before though...PS4 is dominating. Also, according to NPD (where are the numbers?) console sales this generation (as in PS4 and Xbone) are 80% higher than they were at this point in the previous generation.

Ghosts still rule the roost.

The most interesting story is Hyrule Warriors first week which sold 69k. Compared to recent Warriors games on the far more well-established PlayStation 3, it does not compare favorably. Dynasty Warriors 8 (PS3) cleared 212k and One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 (PS3) sold 274k in their first week. Other recent spin off titles (Dynasty Warriors Gundam Reborn and The Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2) had first week numbers north of 100k. Again, there are a lot PS3s in Japan so these comparisons are unfair.

Still, 69k doesn't seem like a bad number to me. I'm curious as to how big the drop off for the second week will be.

All on the PS3. Hyrule Warriors came rather close to the 100k range. It did extremely well for what it is.

Quote
Hyrule Warriors was released in Japan last week, and the game sold 69,090 copies in its first week. Japanese sales tracker Media Create reported today that the game sold through just 57.33% of its shipment.

Not a particularly good number to have. One of the enthusiast-inferred goals of Hyrule Warriors was to make Zelda more popular in Japan and Warriors game more popular elsewhere. It is an odd mix of different series and it's starting to look as if it is one that pleases neither of each series' fans.

Sold versus shipped percentage we rarely see but, 57% doesn't sound overly bad. It just mean they shipped enough to hold the initial demand then then maintain a shelf presence without a restock.

Tecmo/Koei is expecting a million sales and if the West makes up the difference on that I'll sleep with your mom.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on August 23, 2014, 04:13:18 PM: I can see it passing that on the Zelda name alone. There are probably about 400-500k "core" Nintendo fans who actively buy in the US. Couple those with the sleeper and casual Nintendo fans who will buy on the name (or because there is nothing else new on the system...). Also toss in the Dynasty Warriors fans and we can see the numbers hit 1 Million world wide for Hyrule Warriors. Don't forget Europe and etc.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on August 23, 2014, 04:24:45 PM: Selling a million isn't that far off. The us will double what ever Japan sells and EU make up the difference. That's 900k at least.

I think Hyrule Warriors could eventually break a million worldwide when all is said and done, but it might take a sale/price cut for it to happen.

What does domestic have to do with Hyrule Warriors selling 1 million worldwide? The number KT has projected were worldwide numbers, not just US.
I think there's a good chance it'll go over 1 million. 200k in Japan, 400k in Europe and 400k in the Americas.

That's extremely optimistic considering a game like DKC Tropical Freeze only hit 285k in it's first 5 months in the US, and I consider that to be more of an evergreen title with future sales potential than Hyrule Warriors. We'll see.

Zelda is a more popular character in the US than Donkey or Diddy Kong. From what I've heard, there are people that are buying the system just for Hyrule Warriors. I don't think it's extremely optimistic. Extremely optimistic would be 1 million sales in the US alone.

I doubt it will do anywhere near that well in the US. I'm not buying it, for one, and I've bought nearly every console Zelda game.

I get that, I don't mean total sales but just among this community. I don't think last years sales amount to much in this discussion because Mario Kart 8 is pushing things forward and by the time Hyrule Warriors launches in the US the install base should be higher than it was when 3D World launched giving it a potential to pick up bigger numbers. Also I am curious what Mario 3D world numbers will be like after the holiday season once more people have the console and need games to play.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on August 27, 2014, 09:03:09 PM: I predict Hyrule Warriors will easily surpass a million sales and achieve a 99.99999% attach rate, selling to every person who owns a Wii U except Brandogg.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on August 28, 2014, 07:20:30 AM: HW is already at 100,000 in Japan 2 weeks in. I can't remember the last time a WiiU game sold more in Japan than in the US. This type of showing lends itself to the 200,000 YTD, which would only be about 5k a week till the end of the year.

What I can see hurting the title in the us is if all the goodies are already known about the game by launch and some folks seem to be underwhelmed.

The lack of awesome scarf action pre orders also hurts.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on August 28, 2014, 12:31:46 PM: I have a feeling that Hyrule Warriors will sell well at first because of the Zelda name but because it's, you know, a Dynasty Warriors game, I expect that it won't be all that good and then sales will drop like a rock as word spreads. Zelda is associated with a very high standard of quality and Dynasty Warriors doesn't have even near that reputation. I predict another Other M (hey, look at what useless turds are working on this game) and we'll have the rare first party Nintendo title that shows up in bargain bins.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Khushrenada on August 28, 2014, 12:38:06 PM: Another optimistic prediction from Ian Sane. This is why it is hard to take you seriously. You need to inject some realism and negativity into your hyper-utopian fantasy predictions.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on August 28, 2014, 01:39:53 PM: Ian Sane has a point, however the fact that Nintendo is overseeing the development gives me more hope than if team ninja was left to their own devices. Plus never underestimate the American Zelda Fan. Hyrule Historia was in the top 10 books on Amazon.com for the year and that's all genres.

Our voice will be heard. I'm buying Zelda monopoly just because its Zelda.

Everyone has to buy two copies and give one to a friend. Then that friend will have to either get a Wii U or sell the game on ebay. Wow now I am having flash backs to those desperate days during the middle of the GameCubes life when there were discussions of how many family members to buy Game Cubes as Christmas presents just to get more systems sold.

DW8 sold 350k in Japan, and only around 150k in the rest of the world, combined (in fact that seems to be the average for most Dynasty Warriors games). I think the people who you see on message boards that say they are going to buy HW will buy it, and no one else.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on September 11, 2014, 02:19:13 PM: I don't know why MS even bothers to release their consoles in Japan. I suppose if it doesn't lose them any money and the sales are just a nice bonus then, sure, why the hell not? But there's no way that it works like that. I imagine there is a fair bit of overhead in releasing a console in a region. It isn't like they just ship American consoles and games over there.

The Xbox brand is American and is/was popular in America. So isn't that fine? That's the biggest market for videogames where the government doesn't turn a blind eye to piracy. If you're selling videogames in America then you made it. That's the market that companies in other countries want to thrive in. What does it matter if Japanese customers don't want to buy an American videogame system full of a games made by Western developers for Western gamer tastes? The Japanese aren't even that interested in Japanese consoles with Japanese games. Wii U "success" is like the best you could hope for.

Considering that Mario Kart 8 came out in May, and Smash 4 is coming out at Christmas, my expectations are staggering. Expect another Smash Innovational around launch plus a marketing campaign worthy of the game meant to save the console (save your breath, its always been Smash). The only thing I believe that could hurt Smash's chances is Smash ironically. Is there anybody on this board or in the free world for that matter who own WiiU and NOT a 3DS? Granted Smash has some of the highest replay value of any game but some may have their fill buy nov/dec and not see the need to double dip. This is also the reason I think there are still major secrets still to be found about the game.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Adrock on September 12, 2014, 12:37:43 AM: Releasing the 3DS version first helps the 3DS version more than it hurts the Wii U version, even though it still hurts the Wii U version. Playing multiplayer Super Smash Bros. is cheaper and easier on a home console. It also doesn't help that the exclusive 3DS mode, Smash Run, is local multiplayer only. That might fly in Japan, and then generally no where else in the world. Anyone who plays Super Smash Bros. semi-regularly will probably be waiting for the Wii U version.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on September 12, 2014, 12:47:21 PM: Depends on when Smash WII U is released. Right now I'm content waiting a month or so for the WII U version but if Smash gets delayed until 2015 then I'm more than likely just cancelling my WII U preorder and buying the 3DS version.

Post by: Mop it up on September 13, 2014, 07:08:33 PM: I've always felt that Mario Kart is a bigger system-seller than Smash Brothers, so if Mario Kart 8 doesn't move many units, I don't think Smash will be doing any better.

Everything sells at the holidays so we'll still see better Wii U numbers, but they'll probably still be on par with the system's previous two holidays and then drop right back down again.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on September 13, 2014, 07:58:16 PM: The combo of Mario Kart and Smash will move units. I think the Wii U will have a fairly decent holiday season this year, because Nintendo always does better in that time period, they've got a pretty good library at this point, and there really isn't much of anything pushing the PS4 and Xbox One this year.

You could have made the exact same post last November, and it didn't work out so well when Mario 3D World bombed. Meanwhile, the PS4 & Xbone sold millions on less software than they'll have this time.

And yet you think the Wii U, a system that's never had and never will have "real software support" is going to do well this Fall? I like Smash & all, but the Wii U is a dead man walking at this point. It's too far gone for even Smash to save now, and the 3DS version of Smash is doing it no favors.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Adrock on September 13, 2014, 09:17:58 PM: Wii U will do well compared to how it's been doing which if we're being honest, isn't that difficult to do. There will be enough total first party titles on Wii U where people can now look at it as a worthwhile purchase, with Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros. being the biggest draws. In May, there may have been people who were intrigued by Wii U because of Mario Kart 8 yet remained on the fence. The addition of Super Smash Bros. could be enough for them to make the jump, especially during the holiday season when people are willing to spend money on things. Nintendo could sell a few million units.

There are a couple caveats. Wii U "doing well" does not mean it will do better than PS4 even with a stronger lineup of games, nor does it mean it will "do well enough to consider this anything but a wasted generation for Nintendo." While this should be Wii U's best holiday season yet (and probably ever, even if Zelda comes out next year), it still won't be an especially great one in the grand scheme of things.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on September 14, 2014, 08:12:41 AM: Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the Best selling fighting game of all time (12x platinum). Even if half of that was old people / soccer moms caught up in the "Wii Hype" it would still be #1 or 2. Melee sold 6million + copies on a systems with LTD 20million install base. I'm not expecting it to do the same but it can/will be the best selling game on the WiiU.

Well maybe not, Mario Kart 8 is already over 2.5m worldwide and should hit 4m by years end.

I'm saying Wii U has a very good lineup of games to play RIGHT NOW, which Sony and Microsoft don't. Smash Bros. will tip a lot of people over the edge who'd been tempted by a lot of the other stuff that's already there. Long term Wii U's fucked, and probably won't beat out its competition in this holiday season. Adrock gets what I'm saying.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on September 14, 2014, 03:06:55 PM: Last year the Wii U managed to sell over 700k in North America during the holiday season and another 400k in Japan during that same time, and that was with just 3D World and the NSMBU bundle. This year, even before Mario Kart was released, Wii U sales in North America and Europe have been up every single month compared to last year, and even in Japan the sales aren't that far behind what they were last year.

Seriously, the combination of Smash Bros and Mario Kart this holiday combined with the fact Wii U sales have naturally been up compared to last year in America and Europe should be able to push over 2-3 million units this holiday season worldwide. Considering Nintendo themselves only set Wii U shipment goals in the 3 million range for the entire fiscal year, I'd say they'd consider that a pretty good holiday season.

Post by: Ceric on September 15, 2014, 10:55:36 AM: On face value would it really be that surprising for the WiiU to have a better Fall than PS4 and XBox One? Say what you will but there is not a really compelling argument to be made to upgrade from a PS3 or a 360 compared to a Wii to Wii U. I figured by now the PS4 and X-Box One would have more of an exclusive to their Gen lineup.

Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on September 15, 2014, 12:27:14 PM: Whats the big Holiday title for PS4/1? There may not be one definitive title just a lot of solid support. Halo, GTA are just remakes, albeit very fine titles in that. Lord of the fallen and Middle Earth could be very solid titles indeed but they don't completely differ (on the surface) from Hyrule Warriors and Bayonetta 2. Without going tit for tat, it appears this could be a most interesting choice for the holiday gamer.

I actually have the opposite problem. I need a new Blu-Ray player and I'm debating on PS4/1. I don't/ can't play FPS so thats not a factor in my purchase. My kids want a 4 and thats more than likely what well get but I am a Gears of War fan, I got my 360 for that game alone and never regretted it. I'm going to get Gears for whenever it comes so I might as well get the ONE anyway... (I'll end up buying both and playing neither like always)

ALSO SHOVEL KNIGHT ISN"T ON THOSE CONSOLES SO THEY ARE DQ'd

Post by: Ian Sane on September 15, 2014, 01:26:40 PM: The Wii U has been out long enough that's accumulated enough decent games (all first party of course) that if I bought one this Christmas I would have a good amount of games to play. Though it probably wouldn't take more than a year to catch up and be stuck waiting months at a time for anything half decent to come out. The PS4 may sell on potential but the Wii U's future is set in stone. It has effectively no third party support and will offer nothing but first party releases that will be released at a snail's pace. That's not worthless by any means but is it worth the price that Wii U's are currently sold at? I'm not going to go for that unless the price drops into "eh, why not?" territory.

SSB will not turn things around. Anyone who thinks things ever will or even can turn around for the Wii U is delusional. It's been over for a while. Nothing will be the Wii U's saviour. The best you can hope for is if a game can sell well enough to keep it limping along for a few more years.

I think the PS4 will outsell the Wii U this Christmas even with the Wii U having a currently better lineup. And the reason for that is simple: the Wii U is a **** brand while the PS4 is hip. The reputation alone will probably give the PS4 the edge.

The Wii U's 2015 lineup is outstanding... for a console with no third party support. But there will be N64 style gaps in the release schedule. The Wii U experience will be constantly waiting around for Nintendo to release a new game. The sales won't increase enough to get third parties back and even if it did by the time it could PS360 development will be less common and the Wii U will get excluded for hardware reasons. A port of a PS360 version is one thing but I don't expect anyone to make a special Wii U-only version. They hardly ever did that for the Wii and that console sold better than anything.

The Xbox One could end up like the PS3. The PS3 was a joke when it came out because it was too expensive but it was similar enough in hardware to the Xbox 360 that it got included in multiplatform development. When the PS3 became affordable it took off because it had a healthy third party lineup and all the major games were including it as a platform. The Xbox One is getting the ports so it's going to build up a decent lineup even as it struggles. The one difference is that Sony's first party offerings on the PS3 were fantastic so that gave it some uniqueness. The Xbox One might not do as well since it won't have as strong of a first party lineup and a console that's just an inferior PS4 is a harder sell.

Whats the big Holiday title for PS4/1? There may not be one definitive title just a lot of solid support. Halo, GTA are just remakes, albeit very fine titles in that. Lord of the fallen and Middle Earth could be very solid titles indeed but they don't completely differ (on the surface) from Hyrule Warriors and Bayonetta 2. Without going tit for tat, it appears this could be a most interesting choice for the holiday gamer.

Major titles on PS4/Xbox One this Fall (no comment on quality, just sales or hype potential) that will not be on Wii U:

*Also not counting re-releases like Sleepy Dogs and [Kirby's Epic Yarn HD-er] (i.e. GTA)*

Destiny
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor
Forza Horizon 2
Alien Isolation
Project Spark
Driveclub
NBA2K15
The Evil Within
Sunset Overdrive
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
Assassin's Creed Unity
The Crew
Dragon Age Inquisition
Far Cry 4
LittleBigPlanet 3
Ori and the Blind Forest (OK, not a big system-seller, but I wanted to spotlight that game because it looks amazing)

By comparison, let's look at the Wii U's Fall Lineup that's not available on the other consoles:

Hyrule Warriors
Bayonetta 2
Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyre
Smash Bros. U (maybe. Nintendo hasn't officially confirmed it yet, despite the leaks)
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (maybe. Nintendo hasn't officially confirmed it yet, and it's been delayed to 2015 everywhere else)

Pathetic.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on September 16, 2014, 12:03:43 AM: Couple of reasons why I think Nintendo's WII U numbers are going be low this season:

1. Retailer store space: The Wii U is combined with the WII into one tiny shelf way in the back in 90% of the retailers around me: Walmart, Gamestop, Target, ect.

2. Not on kids wishlists. Ask any preteen/teenager if they want an WII U and they are going say they want the next GTA/COD/Minecraft mostly because their friends play them.

3. No marketing push--you have to spend money to make money and Nintendo's hasn't made any effort on this font. Activision are whores at this, look at Destiny for example; Activision spent $200 million just to market that one game and Nintendo hasn't spent that much for marketing an entire CONSOLE let alone one game.

Opinion!

Of all of the games not coming to Wii U in that list, Sunset Overdrive looks to be the only semi-interesting title to me, but it's not enough to push me over the edge to buy a Xbox One.

But on the Wii U list, Hyrule Warriors, Bayo 2, Smash, and Captain Toad will give me LOADS of fun and fill my gaming tastes just fine.

Just because YOU don't think it's great, doesn't mean it's that way for the majority of people.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on September 16, 2014, 03:06:10 PM: From a marketing perspective it looks really bad if there are all these games coming out on every console except yours. What you do have doesn't grab as much attention because what you don't ends up being the bigger list. So it isn't about buying a Wii U for Game X, it's about casting aside all these other games in exchange for getting Game X. Either that or it's spending hundreds of extra dollars to buy a second console just for Game X. That's a really hard sell. When you look at it that way you can see why something so unambitious like NSMB U fails to move systems. You need something really exceptional and special to be worth that sort of investment from the customer.

Nintendo has had this problem since the N64. It took industry changing games like Super Mario 64, Goldeneye and Ocarina of Time for the N64 to stand a chance. The Wii succeeded by appealing to a new demographic that wasn't the target audience of all those other games you had to cast aside and it also had a never-been-seen-before industry changing game in Wii Sports. The Gamecube didn't have either scenario and floundered and the Wii U is in the same situation.

Nintendo talks big about being an "everyone" company but both the Wii and Wii U's designs were very exclusionary. You either take this completely unique alternative or pay a premium to get it as an extra. No one else asks you to make a choice like that.

WiiU:
Hyrule Warriors*
Bayonetta 2*

* I'll Probably Buy or have bought
♫ I'm interested in but not really owning or playing.

Nintendo's marketing is probably one of its biggest hurdle. If they could get to regular getting to Destiny level of marketing they be doing a lot better. Nintendo though is not going to put in the infrastructure or spend the cash that would do that for them.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on September 16, 2014, 03:35:58 PM: The thing is, I think out of both those lists the most exciting and hyped up title of all is Smash Bros. I know a fair number of people who aren't really Nintendo fans but are hugely hyped for Smash. If it's marketed properly (and doesn't suck) I think that alone will get Wii U to respectability during the holidays.

Just because YOU don't think it's great, doesn't mean it's that way for the majority of people.

I gave a total of 2 opinions on that post: the first was that Oni & The Blind Forest looked really cool, and the second was that the Wii U's lineup was pathetic by comparison. It is, however, a fact that the list of major games ALONE from large publishers vastly outnumbers the Wii U's ENTIRE Fall 2014 output (IIRC, the only game I skipped was a Pac-man game that won't sell on any platform).

And, incidentally, just because YOU think a platform with 4 games in the Fall is great compared to platforms with 4 games every two weeks, that doesn't mean it's that way for the majority of people. And the sales have proven that. :P:

And Nile Boogie, I'd love to see this fantasy world you live in where Kickstarter indie titles no one knows or cares about like The Fall and Teslagrad "tip the scales" in a market where the likes of every major game in the industry is on every console but the Wii U. I like the Fall. Hell, I like Teslagrad as well, but they're extremely flawed minor titles no one will remember even 2 months from now.

I beg your pardon that is not what I meant. I do not paint gamers with broad strokes and the comments of "tip the scale" was for an individual gamer looking to make a purchase this fall. For every PS41U owner there are 10 gamers still playing last ten systems, and they are quite happy there.

25million next gen consoles sold in 2 years is less than 10% of last gens overall total sales. Crazy as it may sound but a Metroidvaina game could be the cherry on top of a Smash Sundae. Just like DriveClub and Little BiG Planet 3 could get me to buy a Ps4 over say Sunset Overdrive and Oni and the Blind Forest (which does look outstanding).

Also, sales haven't proven anything when talking about XBOXONE. That system, with all its hype and marketing is in (almost) as much trouble as the WiiU.

Lastly. When talking about the indie vs. Mainstream titles the best game Ive played all year was an indie title. And you just never know when you're sitting on the next Minecraft.

To which I argued that this was the same claim made last year when the Xbone/PS4 launch lineup looked weak, and Nintendo had an excellent new Mario game. Both 3D World and the Wii U bombed spectacularly. This holiday, I absolutely agree that the Wii U will see a dead console bump from the release of Smash Bros., provided Nintendo finally gets around to putting a ring on that goddamn game and releases it this Fall. However, as well as that game will sell, the other consoles are releasing several times more games in that span of time. If you want to argue that Smash Bros. will outsell any Sony or Microsoft 1st party title this Fall, I completely agree. I just don't see Smash selling enough Wii U consoles to outsell the PS4/Xbone consoles their competitors will sell on the strength of their Wii U-excluding 1st & 3rd party lineups. And the general public won't give a damn about Bayonetta or Hyrule Warriors. I just don't see the Wii U winning the Christmas sales war, not without a price drop or some serious bundle action.

Sure it means something to us. Nintendo financial situation affects their future decisions which affects what products they decide to release. If a game you like doesn't sell well the chances of getting a sequel are low. It makes sense for Nintendo fans to observe sales to get an idea of what direction the company will go in.

Unless you just get gratification from Nintendo "winning" regardless of what product they put out. That's just stupid.

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS takes the top spot with 944k. Famitsu (available in the NeoGAF thread) tracks the game at 987k. Comparing these numbers to Nintendo's press release of the game selling 1 million indicates at least 17-56k eShop copies were sold. Also, Destiny (PS4/PS3) was released to nice numbers as well as a heavy boost in PS4 system sales. Famitsu tracks the sell through rate of Destiny for PS4 and PS3 in the 60-80% and 80-100%, respectively. Lastly, Hyrule Warriors sneaks over 100k as it will most likely drop out of Media Create's top 20.

How long can Smash 4 3DS hold out against Yo-Kai Watch 2? Wait for the coming weeks to find out!

Post by: BranDonk Kong on September 17, 2014, 04:34:54 PM: Big uptick in PS4 sales (sure, it's only one week), Wii U continues to drop. I'm surprised Destiny sold so well, not surprised SSB3DS did.

Post by: Mop it up on September 18, 2014, 05:30:09 PM: Not surprised at Smash Bros sales. I think the 3DS version has a shot at being the best-selling game released in 2014, and the only game I can really see that might surpass its lifetime sales is Call of Duty Advanced Warfare, since people still go nuts for those games.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on September 19, 2014, 05:59:01 AM: Since Nintendo already announced an improved 3DS which comes out in a few weeks I'm surprised people are still buying the current one without the price being reduced.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on September 20, 2014, 02:30:10 AM: I imagine the kind of people who are buying 3DSes at this point are mostly the kind of people who don't follow gaming news and announcements that closely.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS staves off Yo-kai Watch 2 for now. Bayonetta 2 was released over the last weekend and has sold 38k for 3rd place in Media Create's trackers. Famitsu tracks it at 33k with a sell through rate in the 40-60% range. For comparison, The Wonderful 101's first week in Japan sold 5,765 units.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on September 24, 2014, 04:04:08 PM: For more appropriate comparison, Bayonetta 1 sold 93,000 copies on PS3 and 45,000 copies on Xbox 360 (yes, Xbox 360) on its first day in Japan.

1. Bayonetta is not a new IP. It's newer than some of the other franchises on that list, but it's not a New IP so long as there's a 2 after the title.

2. It's on the Wii U, a console relatively no one owns and similarly no one wants...at least until Smash Bros. Expecting high sales for that game on a platform its intended audience is not on is sheer lunacy.

3. It's made by Platinum, a studio that specializes in making bombs for publishers that think they're a more popular developer than they actually are. I would have been shocked if it had sold well.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Soren on September 24, 2014, 05:21:00 PM: Bayo 2 was a sequel no one wanted before Nintendo became desperate enough to finance it. Of course it's going to sell poorly.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Fatty The Hutt on September 24, 2014, 05:36:58 PM: Bayo 2 debuted at #3 behind two huge juggernauts on handhelds. It's the highest selling console title of the week.
It did not bomb. It did ok. Not great, but respectable.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on September 24, 2014, 06:36:13 PM: Could have been worse for Bayo, albeit not much worse. 40K on WiiU in a dead country. If thats any indication, which it is most likely not, I think it will do %wise what all Platinum games do.

GO BUY W101, NOW! You're the reason WonderRed is not in smash. YOU! Reading this post wondering if I'm talking directly to you. WELL I AM. Here, lemme help you out with some LINK ACTION

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on September 24, 2014, 08:48:21 PM: Bayonetta 2 actually deputed higher then Donkey Kong and Wind Waker HD did in Japan so that's actually a decent first week considering the type of game it is. Hell, considering The Wondeful 101 did around 6k its first week, Iwata is probably doing somersaults over Bayonetta's numbers.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread

Bayonetta is not a new IP.
I was comparing sales number of W101 to Bayo 2.

As i said, i am okay with number B2 got. I am just disappointed that New IP of the same caliber couldn't muster the same amount.

HOLD UP THERE.

Why is it a waste of time? Maybe its not so much about adding to boost sales as its about enhancing a 3 year old port. You do what is "right" and let the chips fall where they may. Would Bayonetta be a better value to the consumer part one was disregarded in the first place? Seems like they are just trying to do right for its fan base. Little extras! Plus mostly every other port that has been late on Wiiu has either been better all around (NFS Most Wanted) or contained extra features and such (Batman AC and Deus Ex:)

Who gives a ****. Unless you're a stockholder of Nintendo or Platinum, we still got a better product as a result.

Post by: NWR_insanolord on September 25, 2014, 11:24:30 AM: I really don't see how these numbers are as bad as people are making them out to be. 39,000 in the first week for a game on a console in Japan with as low a user base as the Wii U has seems pretty decent. The numbers for the first game quoted above were with probably ten times as many console owners to sell to. I wouldn't read too much into this too soon.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on September 25, 2014, 02:16:15 PM: Bayonette 2 was the top selling new release for this week.

Now let's look who got that last week.

01./00. [3DS] Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS <FTG> (Nintendo) {2014.09.13} (¥5.616) - 944.644 / NEW
02./00. [PS4] Destiny # <ACT> (Sony Computer Entertainment) {2014.09.11} (¥8.532) - 91.277 / NEW
03./00. [PS3] Destiny <ACT> (Sony Computer Entertainment) {2014.09.11} (¥8.532) - 49.503 / NEW

Wait is that Smash? Yeah it is. A game that has tails. Look its Destiny as well... Ok well nothing really to speak of there. Yeah Smash. Good chance that the majority of people with a WiiU are still wrapped up in that.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on September 27, 2014, 05:12:33 PM: People are probably waiting until Bayonetta 2 releases on PS360 or PS4one.

Maybe they'll buy the game five years from now when it doesn't happen.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on September 29, 2014, 06:43:17 PM: I figure we ought to wait for North American sales, the console market that actually matters, before declaring any game a bomb or success.

Games like W101 or Bayonetta 2 are supporting titles with niche appeal. They're the sort of games that would do fine on a high selling console with a multiple demographics represented in the userbase. The Wii U's release schedule is unfortunately so thin that any half-decent game is given unrealistic expectations.

Blame the Mario games that were "supposed" to move consoles for something like W101's failure because that game required a large userbase to carve a niche out of and the big guns failed to provide that. What percentage of the userbase bought the game? Apply that percentage to the console sales numbers Nintendo originally hoped for and you'll have a better idea of the true sales potential of that game.

Also there was backlash for Bayonetta 2 being a Wii U exclusive. That's a knock on how Nintendo has marketed their image in the Wii/Wii U years. The target audience for Bayonetta 2 wants the game but NOT the console it's on.

I figure we ought to wait for North American sales, the console market that actually matters, before declaring any game a bomb or success.

Games like W101 or Bayonetta 2 are supporting titles with niche appeal.

I don't judge Bayonetta 2's appeal because it's on the Wii U, though being on a failed console doesn't help that. I harp on it because Platinum has a longstanding track record of making games the games press likes to slobber over, but no one wants to actually buy. They're a company that exists based on publisher willingness to throw away money appealing to the niche of the niche, which is why I've always been skeptical of the value of Nintendo picking up Bayonetta 2 in the first place.

Sega didn't want to fund it doesn't make it everyone. PG chose Nintendo largely because of the prior relationship (as clover studios) and the fact Nintendo's console was the market leader last gen.

Bayonetta's IP still belongs to PG and if someone wanted to they could buy PG and "remaster/rename" Bayonetta 2 for other consoles but it's going have to make a decent push in the NA/EU markets for anyone bothering another glance.

In case you're saying Bayonetta 2 can't be "ported" because Nintendo published it, all you have to do is look back at Mass Effect--a game funded/published by MS and yet EA still ported it over to the PS3. :0

It took a long time for Mass Effect (1) to be playable on PS3. Also a factor is the license/contract tangle that came when EA bought out BioWare-Pandemic in October 2007 (Mass Effect was released November 2007).

It is unknown how the money and legalese works out for Bayonetta 2, so it is hard to figure a path for the game to be available on other platforms. It will assuredly involve Nintendo being paid. With how Platinum's games performed in the past, I don't think any company is willing to foot that bill.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on September 30, 2014, 06:28:17 AM: Mass Effect didn't come to PS3 until 5 years after it came out on 360. It seemed pretty clear that's when Microsoft's exclusivity deal expired. Even if it does come to other platforms at some point I'd be very surprised if Nintendo didn't have a similar timed exclusivity deal in place. Either way, I doubt the game will sell well enough to warrant that.

That is probably exactly it. However the target audience of Bayonetta doesn't want, sorry to say this, last gen hardware with a novelty controller. The Wii U is a very conventional follow-up to the Wii, incorporating a very similar design philosophy. Core gamers don't want another Wii because they associate it with casual gaming. A Wii U purchase says to Nintendo "yes, continue to make consoles like this". That's why I haven't bought one. What game is worth me giving Nintendo that message and effectively encouraging future Wii-like consoles? I doubt there are that many for which Bayonetta 2 is worth giving Nintendo that message, but if it was on the type of console they do want to own like the PS4 they would buy it.

Of course another explanation could be simply that Bayonetta 1 was on the non-Nintendo consoles. So someone owning those consoles would expect a sequel to appear on the same consoles or successors to those consoles. The IP is switching to a Nintendo platform that fans may have never had any intention on buying. Of course Resident Evil did this and Final Fantasy jumped from Nintendo to Sony and there wasn't the same backlash.

I guess one might call that an image concern, but it never seemed like Nintendo was too concerned with its "for everyone" image and that's why, for better or worse, it keeps marching to its own beat. To me, it was more "We don't have an action game; let's get an action game" as opposed to "People think we're for kids/casuals, we need more games with boobs, blood, and guns."

I don't think Nintendo could make a game like Bayonetta which is fine and I'm glad it reached out to a developer who can make that kind of game. Nintendo should stick to making the games it's good at making, or at least the kinds of games that have Nintendo quirkiness. For example, I wouldn't want Nintendo to make a standard squad based shooter. Splatoon, on the other hand, is exactly the kind of shooter I want from Nintendo. At the same time, Nintendo doesn't have a standard squad based shooter itself so maybe it should reach out to a developer who can make an exclusive for Nintendo hardware. I'd really like Nintendo to continue reaching out to developers and bringing more unique content over. Hopefully, Bayonetta 2's sales won't discourage this kind of thing.

Quote from: Hideki Kamiya
I think I have discussed this many times before but here goes… First of all, we [Platinum Games] are developers and receive support from publishers by making games that they request or suggest.

As for Bayonetta, we developed the game after signing a deal with SEGA. Later it was decided to also develop the sequel, so we started working on Bayonetta 2.

When development had progressed to a certain degree, in SEGA’s situation it turned into “This isn’t a good plan”, so development halted temporarily.

Without funding we didn’t have the possibility to continue development, but we wanted to get this partially developed Bayonetta 2 available to the public one way or another. So we offered it to various publishers, but as it is a big title, we couldn’t find a partner company. Finally, Bayonetta 2 was about to get terminated completely, when…

Nintendo came in and lent a hand and we were able to restart the development we so desired. Finally the game was released last week, so in five years, we were able to make Bayonetta 2 available to the public.

Knowing those circumstances, if someone is still angry for heading towards Nintendo, I wonder what’s the reason for that, wouldn’t you tell me in a way that is easy to understand?

As I have said earlier, if you want Bayonetta 2 on PS4 or Xbox One, how about trying to ask Nintendo… If Nintendo doesn’t say yes, it’s not going to happen… While you’re at it, try asking for Mario and Zelda too…

Also, you're all going around how Bayo 2 is a huge bomb.

It's really not.

For a niche game on weak platform in Japan it did decently. If i am reading this right, according to reports, retailers already sold through the first shipment (first week sellthrough was 50%) and got a bit more.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on October 01, 2014, 05:25:57 AM: LOL, MS sold 50% of it's xbox one shipments does that make it an success? % mean jack in Japan other than you can figure out the total shipment which is roughly 60K which isn't high at all. Stores won't have to reorder which means not another reprint anytime soon and that's going kill the game in Japan. Japan has very few "evergreen" titles that are in the "action" genre.

And Bayonetta 2 isn't just an niche game though, it's budgeted as a "AAA" title (I'm guessing 15-20milion to make). Why does they matter? As the publisher Nintendo doesn't really need the money as much as they need a 3rd party title to sell well on the WII U, something to draw back it's lost 3rd party support. As the developer, Platinum Games need a hit, how many titles did they produce that netted any publisher a profit? And finally as a gamer like myself, I wanted Bayonetta 2 to sell well for the series to continue of course :0--can't really see that happening at this time (it's all up to the NA/EU market).

Nintendo's image isn't just based on boobs and guns. The casual image exists because whole genres are just outright absent or are so poorly represented they might as well be. Casual focused genres however remain plentiful, cementing the image. Nintendo publishing a game like Bayonetta is great. They need more variety and going out and getting it is what I want them to do. The real issue is "why does Nintendo have to provide this stuff themselves?" The third party support, as it has been since 1996, is the real issue. If the support was at an acceptable level then these games would just be there and Nintendo could stick to their usual stuff and it wouldn't matter.

Getting Bayonetta 2 is a Band-Aid on a severed artery. The real solution would have been to actually take into account third party developer needs when designing their hardware, which they didn't do. Hell, we have anecdotes from devs that suggests that Nintendo outright IGNORED these concerns because dumb bullshit like power consumption and size were Nintendo's priority. If their thinking is "well, we're going to make the hardware we want to regardless of what other devs want but if they don't support us we'll just publish a few token 'hardcore' games and we'll be fine" then that explains the Wii U's poor sales. The N64 situation where they busted their ass to keep the console afloat themselves was making the best of a bad situation created by a huge mistake. It's not something any sane company would ever want to go through again yet the Wii U was essentially designed like that ON PURPOSE.

Smash for 3DS stays on top while Yo-kai Watch 2 looks hungry in 4th. 2nd and 3rd belong to Playstation Vita titles of the latest entries to The Legend of Heroes and DanganRonpa series, respectively.

Of interest to Nintendo fans is Fatal Frame V: Oracle of the Sodden Raven which sold 27k for 7th place. According to Famitsu trackers, the game sold 32k with a sell-through percentage in the 60-80% range. Seems like decent sales for the game.

The Wii was absolutely full of casual focused fare like Carnival Games and Petz and a million bad Wii Sports knock-offs and stuff like that. Where do you think this image came from? You looked at the store shelf and it was just full of games like this while missing most of the major multiplatform games the other consoles had. "Gee, this is missing a lot of the games I'm interested in and has a lot of these games that are clearly not targeted at me instead." That creates the image right there. And now we have the Wii U. Same naming convention, same basic appearance, same controller focused design - so people aren't going to assume it's more of the same?

Even if you don't agree that the image is justified, does it not exist? What does it matter at all to Nintendo whether this image is an accurate appraisal of their consoles or not? The negative impact of the image hurts them either way. I never thought Nintendo was kiddy during the N64 days but I sure as hell recognized that the image was there and was damaging. I figure Nintendo is at least somewhat aware of this and that's why they nabbed up Bayonetta 2. It's just not a big enough gesture to really change anything.

Post by: broodwars on October 01, 2014, 02:21:57 PM: And Bayonetta 2 plummets down the list, as we all knew it would (Destiny, too, for that matter). Well, let's see if it fails as badly in North America and Europe, where it feels like the game is getting a larger push.

On a side note, hopefully Fatal Frame does well enough after this week for Nintendo to consider bringing it West-side. I liked Fatal Frame 2, and lord knows the Wii U needs every game it can get these days.

It does because you keep bringing it up so someone believes in it. However, it's hardly the majority opinion regardless of how much you weirdly and obsessively want it to. Nintendo has been making video games for well over 30 years and you think one generation has "cemented" this casual image? The prevailing attitude toward Nintendo is that people buy Nintendo hardware for Nintendo games... and pretty much nothing else. Is that sustainable? Yes. For $300+? Nope.

Wii U is selling poorly because collectively, it's been a mess since launch, inexplicably so. It's sad when folders on the menu screen is exciting news for the console.

The Wii was absolutely full of casual focused fare like Carnival Games and Petz and a million bad Wii Sports knock-offs and stuff like that.

So was the PS2, and the PS1. When a system sells a billion units and development costs are low it's going to get that kind of stuff regardless of "image."

You missed the point, YES PS2 had tons of casual games DUH, it ALSO, as in IN ADDITION to the casuals had all as in every, hard core game released. That is entirely different really how can you not see that? Nobody is denying that Wii selling millions didn't help attract all the casual fluff that flooded it but UNLIKE the PS1/PS2 there was not that much of the traditional gamer stuff outside of the FEW Nintendo games that weren't casual focused and a few super popular multiplatform games. Wii was too flooded with casual crap weather you liked the casual stuff or not is a different story, maybe calling it crap is wrong but the point stands yes there were plenty of shovelware on Playstations 1 and 2 so what is the difference/ they had Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid, Twisted Metal, Kingdom Hearts, Grand Theft Auto, the list goes on and on, whereas Nintendo DIDN'T.

You can call it strawman all you want go back and read this very forum and you will see he is right, my god is your memory that bad? It wasn't literally everyone making those points but it was the prevailing mood for sure.

Everytime someone would bitch about Game Cube most would bring up it's superior specs, not everyone but most, enough that it made it appear as if that was the image. Nintendo doesn't only make casual fluff we all know that but the general public doesn't know that because even the few rare, and obscure non-casual game that does get released on the system gets lost in the sea of casual stuff.

The debate in Game Cube years was defining casual games, as there was a lot of contention over the level of depth a game supposedly had to have, again we are talking over all image not individual cases so using broad generalizations MATTER when you are talking about overall image, unless you are so blind you can't see outside your narrow view.

Even if you don't agree that the image is justified, does it not exist?
It does because you keep bringing it up so someone believes in it. However, it's hardly the majority opinion regardless of how much you weirdly and obsessively want it to. Nintendo has been making video games for well over 30 years and you think one generation has "cemented" this casual image? The prevailing attitude toward Nintendo is that people buy Nintendo hardware for Nintendo games... and pretty much nothing else. Is that sustainable? Yes. For $300+? Nope.

I am guessing you never go to ANY OTHER website if you don't think it is the MAJORITY opinion. How else do you explain the low sales yes image does matter, justified or not image matters a lot, even if you personally disagree with the image you can't deny it exists in the masses collective minds.

I don't care if the specs are current or not, SNES and maybe Game Cube are the only two examples where Nintendo had a clear undeniable advantage in specs and those weren't their best selling consoles so clearly specs don't matter to everyone as much as they say, however, to be fair even those two cases the gap was not nearly as big as it is now. With SNES you had to look at the games side by side under a microscope in just the right conditions to tell which was 'superior' and in many cases they were close enough or nearly indistinguishable to most people, that isn't case TODAY where we have emulators and flat panel displays and other tools to improve the image on a normal tv back in the 90's in typical lighting conditions without doing side by side comparisons it was damn near impossible to just tell which was better because in most cases they weren't that different. Game Cube was similar, it had noticable avantages and it had noticable disavantages but if was still under normal conditions most people couldn't tell the difference and even today we have to rely on tweaked screenshots to "prove" the point.

Wii U is entirely different there is NO DENYING that it is not physically capable of doing what PS4/Xbox One can do, that doesn't mean it is bad or sucks or terrible but it is NOT on par with the other two. You could make a case, as some of you have tried, that they are in different markets anyways which I would almost accept but not really, if you have to go to the store and decide which one you are going to buy and you are weighing them against each other then they are comparable.

I also think he is right, check ANY top ten list of N64 games MOST NON-Nintendo centric sites put Goldeneye damn near the top if not the top spot. Even Nintendo centric sites it always gets a pretty favorable mention as does usually Perfect Dark and people still say Sin and Punishment is the "best game" on the system and it was a travesty it didn't get translated back in the day. Those are not all FPS games but there were enough games in that style to satisfy those gamers, fighting game and RPG fans were really the only ones who missed out owning an N64 every body else was well represented. It is not the case on Wii or even now with Wii U.

You said it has always been Nintendo fans buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games, NO because when Nintendo was new they were just that, NEW, the big boys were Atari and Commodore. Nintendo had to win people over, sure they didn't have to do much except oh promise to BUY BACK every unsold console if it failed, a pretty big gamble. People forget NES was a HUGE stroke of pure luck, Genesis kicked SNES ASS until SEGA threw in the towel to focus on Saturn, up to that point Genesis sold year over year more than SNES it was NOT until Sega quite that SNES pulled ahead and even then it took a massive push from Nintendo to remind people to "keep waiting" for the Ultra 64 just one more year, while everyone else was running out to buy a PS1. Wii was like NES it was pure luck plain and simple, everything they do is pure damn luck because nobody can explain why it works one time but then it doesn't a second time.

YES I know in the end SNES dominated Genesis but not until Sega gave up, saw that Saturn was failing to meet expectations and tried miserably to give it a second chance did they realize they missed their mark.Revisionist history tells it like SNES just walked all over Genesis which is flat out false.

Wii U is doing poorly because this time whatever forces out there that decide these things said no, pure dumb luck. Sony knows what they are doing, they recognized the mistake they made with Ps3 and refused to repeat that mistake and hey it worked, as predicted. IF Nintendo did exactly what Sony does everytime, which they NEVER HAVE, they would be on top because as we all know with their 1st party giants *and* strong 3rd party support there would be no stopping them ever, oh well maybe next time, in three years, they can get it right, if the stars line up again, since it is LITERALLY too late to fix it, there is no way they can compete with PS5 (if there even is one) with exact specs no short cuts to sacrifices , they will never do that ever, if they were capable of it, or willing to, they would have done so every time.

Reading comprehension fail.

We weren't just discussing the vague concept of "image." Ian has specifically and repeatedly brought up "casual image." I didn't deny it exists; I very clearly said it does. There are people who are still pulling that card. I just don't think it's nearly as noteworthy today as Ian continually makes it out to be. It's one (minor) component on a laundry list of Wii U's issues.

No, I didn't. I specifically said, "The prevailing attitude toward Nintendo is that people buy Nintendo hardware for Nintendo games... and pretty much nothing else." Prevailing doesn't mean "always;" it means "most common." Nintendo has had this problem for nearly 20 years. Nintendo has developed a reputation of having poor third party support, software droughts, and a general lackadaisical attitude toward industry trends. All of those things are still true today, and I find that image problem far more damaging and far more prevalent than the casual one Ian keeps trumpeting.

Basically they whine because someone called them (and a console, plastic box they happen to own) a "bad" word.

"Mommy Nintendo, why won't you do something? They say bad things! Boo-hoo!"

If i would allow to shake my head at this, it'd fall off.

Same here, but of course the ideal situation would be to have both on one system. I have no idea how realistically that could be achieved though; if Nintendo designed different systems that would be more appealing to third-parties then that also means they would have different philosophies and there's no way to know how different their games would be as a result. And at least in the current situation, both exist.

Post by: NWR_insanolord on October 02, 2014, 05:36:27 PM: If Nintendo were to release a console with the spec level and ease of development of the PS4 and Xbox One and do so more than a year ahead of their successors I think it'd certainly be possible. The PS3 sold like **** for years, but got ports of third party games because of how easy it was to do that. If the Wii U had a couple more years as a contemporary before Sony and Microsoft released new hardware I think you'd've seen more of that kind of thing

Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on October 03, 2014, 01:07:52 AM: maybe its left overs from being a Genesis first, Nintendo second, guy but I guess I never thought Nintendo's games were all that great. I mean yeah they have more great hits than most other studios but I think I fall in the camp of they make a few good games but they make more fluff than good so I ignore the fluff and that leaves very little else with what I am looking for. GameCube was the only time I was one console only and it was the only time I could live with the output on the machine, it was missing a lot of big titles but it had most of them that the ones it was missing weren't that big of a deal.

I don't see how Nintendo's philosophies are different enough from third parties to make them incompatible. It isn't like Nintendo's handhelds have no third party support and most of Nintendo's games would have been possible on competing hardware. It's not like the Gamecube was really any different than the PS2 or Xbox in basic design. Nintendo's infatuation with goofy controllers is a relatively recent phenomenon and for most of their games those ideas are tacked on anyway. Frankly they made MUCH better games when their consoles were more generic which is really what third parties want.

The philosophical differences seem to be that Nintendo doesn't play well with others, exploiting their customers and treating third parties and retailers, who can help make them money, like competition. I don't see how that negative part of their identity is necessary for them to be great game developer and that's the only part of Nintendo that matters to me.

Under. WAY under. There's no way in hell Nintendo does 1.5 million sales for Smash Wii U in 3 weeks in a market that's dead to consoles. What I'll be interested to see is how the 3DS sales in NA affect the Wii U version's NA sales, considering we have the reverse problem over here.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on October 09, 2014, 03:18:28 PM: Remember how Nintendo made Twilight Princess for both the Wii and Gamecube and they staggered the releases by about a month so that Wii had a brief period of exclusivity? Obviously they preferred that you would buy the game on the new system and that strategy worked really well. With SSB they've gone with the opposite approach. The Wii U is the system that needs the sales and yet they gave the 3DS the small window of exclusivity.

In Japan the 3DS version is the one people actually want. With the Wii U Nintendo has put far too much emphasis on the Japanese market which no longer wants consoles. Sony totally got that right. Consoles are now a Western-only thing so the PS4 is very Western focused. Having two versions of SSB is really just having a Japan-focused product and a West-focused product.

The problem is that they still went with the 3DS version going first in the West. The goal should be to move Wii U's so it would benefit the most from having the first release. Impatient SSB fans might splurge on the Wii U, even if they already have a 3DS, simply because they don't want to wait. It helps that a console is probably the preferable way to play a game like this. But now an impatient fan will almost certainly buy the 3DS game... and what if they're content with that? If they already have an acceptable SSB experience on the 3DS how much incentive is there to buy a Wii U for what is effectively a game they already own? I don't expect SSB Wii U to sell worth a damn in Japan but that was inevitable. But I could see it underperforming in the US as well simply because Nintendo has conveniently removed any Wii U requirement to experience it.

Right now as a 3DS owner I feel like I honestly don't miss much in not owning a Wii U. It seems like the 3DS is more Nintendo's focus and that for a lot of the big releases the Wii U gets just a fancier version of what the 3DS does. I've got a Mario Kart, NSMB, 3D Mario and SSB. I've got a Fire Emblem, Pokémon and new Zelda which the Wii U doesn't have. Now SSB, the latest game given the "saviour" role for the Wii U and realistically the last possible chance for a savior the console has, is probably the least fancy upgrade from the 3DS experience. It's effectively the same game with more polish while at least those other examples were different games with just similar gameplay.

"Well you didn't buy a Wii U for any of these other games but you'll certainly buy one for effectively a director's cut of the game you just bought a few months before." Looking at it that way this is probably the least enticing "savior" that's been thrown at us. It's the most redundant, useful only to the most hardcore SSB fan that wants the "better" version or Wii U owners that don't own a 3DS. If they flipped the releases around and spaced them out more it would be like throwing a bone to 3DS owners that don't own Wii U. Instead they're telling us that we don't have to own that crappy ol' Wii U. We can stick to the "good" Nintendo system in the 3DS and get effectively the same thing. While I'm certain Nintendo thinks this is going to be the game that finally gets the ball rolling on the Wii U, the release schedule comes across more like that of a company that's given up on a product. Though almost certainly unintentional, the message is "you don't have to buy a Wii U to get the latest big Wii U release".

So that's why they released it first. That, plus when the Wii U version hits, there will be less incentive to get the 3DS version because folks will be getting enough of their Smash "fix" on their console. I think to release 3DS Smash first was the strategic decision all along. Nintendo is fairly assured the Wii U Smash will sell well, at least the attachment rate will be good n' high with those that own a system already. Whether or not it moves more Wii Us off shelves is, I think, the unknown here.

The 3DS version came out first because it was done first and Nintendo's not in an economic position right now that would allow them to sit on a game that would sell millions of units for a possible future game.

It probably is that simple of a decision on Nintendo's part but I wouldn't be surprised to see the Wii U version's sales suffer as a result. Is Nintendo in such a bind that the 3DS can't have a game get delayed for a bit? It has the second highest lifetime sales in that sales list and is the highest selling system in Japan thus far this year.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on October 09, 2014, 06:19:13 PM: Timing cost them at least one sale, me buying a 3DS, but that is an entirely different issue. If I had gotten a 3DS as planned Smash is one of the first games I would have gotten, but since I am now holding out for either that NES themed XL or the NEW 3DS, no sale right now.

On the flip side I have not been as drawn to their handhelds as I would like to be, I know they get better support and often have the games I want but I hate playing on those tiny screens, my eyesight isn't that great to start off with that extra eyestrain is just not worth it to me.

I don't think the console version will suffer from there being a 3DS version as there are still lots of console gamers out there waiting for a good excuse to pick up a Wii U, and by now most people who want a 3DS have one there is still room to grow Wii U. Also like its been said they are desperate for sales right now they need a strong end of year performance in order to get investor confidence back up in order to launch new brands next year which they are planning to do.

I can't see how anyone would prefer portable gaming over console gaming, as a compliment to sure but not a substitute for.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on October 09, 2014, 06:26:00 PM: I definitely would prefer to play things on handhelds if given the option. Vita Remote Play is the biggest reason I own a PS4. But the one thing the console experience brings to the table that handhelds can't really match for me is local multiplayer, which will be a huge part of the reason the Wii U Smash will sell.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on October 10, 2014, 09:00:24 AM: Maybe they just release the game when its ready? WiiU is a system that needs a staggered release, not the 3DS. Also, I'm pretty sure that even though Smash4 on 3DS is a great title, WiiU will have the "Definitive Smash Experience" and may have required additional time to complete.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on October 10, 2014, 11:36:24 AM: There's parity in the NFL and somebody still wins the chip every year. The rumored 8 player Smash and HD gives it the edge over the 3ds version(in my book anyway). If there wasn't more to making the Wii U version then I think it would have been out already, also the fact that as of yesterday (Oct, 9) Sakuria said he was still working on the Wii U ver for a few more weeks.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on October 10, 2014, 11:49:38 AM: 8 Player Smash be hectically awesome.
I know for me HD is a big draw. 3D HD would be an even bigger draw for me.

Personally if they add a lot of interesting Single Player options I'll probably prefer that version.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on October 10, 2014, 08:36:43 PM: Maybe that is a surprise reason they are including the Gamecube controller hook-up with the game? It was a great feature in the WiiWare Bomberman when you had a party.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on October 10, 2014, 11:38:14 PM: Honestly nothing about it makes sense, all this does is promotes the idea that the Pro controller isn't good enough. That sends a terrible image to the consumer they should have just left it alone unless there ulterior motive is to eventually release Game Cube VC games but still that doesn't mean they need to use authentic GC controllers, they released N64 games on Wii using the Classic and Classic Pro and they never released an adapter that let you use real N64 controllers, 3rd party companies did that which is why this move seems odd because Nintendo doesn't typically follow 3rd party companies and they really have gotten crazy with all their controllers since Wii came on the scene.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on October 11, 2014, 12:34:45 AM: It makes total sense. It gives Nintendo an opportunity to sell people a largely useless peripheral at what I'm sure is a very healthy profit, which is something they've done to great effect in the past.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on October 11, 2014, 11:23:19 AM: what would be wrong with jut promoting the existing controller they have in production though? This will cost them money by having to manufacture it they don't just press a button and these things magically appear in stores. The Pro controllers is perfectly good enough this sends a mixed signal and could cost them more money in the long run, if they don't sell enough to justify the manufacturing of this device. It would be different if we were talking putting a game on iPhone where there is little investment this requires a major investment to move things around in the production line at the very least. This isn't even them re-issuing Game Cube controllers its just an adapter that lets you use a Game Cube controller, there already exist 3rd party solutions for that. You make it sound like just putting it out there it will automatically produce profits, they are spending a great deal of money just advertising this thing that will appeal to a very niche market of a niche console, how does that translate to massive profits? It doesn't it translates to a huge costly fan service, not something that makes business sense other than keeping the cheerleaders, like you, happily defending every stupid move they make so they can keep ultra loyalists supporting even their bad decisions.

IF it was as suggested and was a fully useful controller that could be used outside ONE game it would appeal to a larger base but this has ultra limited appeal, even if Smash sells a million copies this will NOT sell to more than 10% of those customers, many of whom already use the 3rd party solutions already in the market.

Nintendo is reissuing the controller.
(http://i.imgur.com/TiKE2nE.jpg)
That's probably the only reason it's even bothering with the adapter. Nintendo will be selling a $30 Smash Bros. logo GameCube controller that costs like $5 to manufacture. And people are going to buy the controllers because they can't let it go. Or they're buying the bundle just to have it.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on October 11, 2014, 02:06:16 PM: It seems the GameCube adapter and controller is aimed at the Smash tourney nuts who don't like to use wireless controllers because of the miniscule amount of input lag they have. These people will probably be playing the game on a CRT instead of a modern television as well. They don't appear to be widely available so I don't think it's something that's going to cause confusion.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on October 11, 2014, 03:37:12 PM: I keep going back and forth on getting the bundle. I could use another Gamecube controller and I prefer first party controllers since I have been burned by others. If Smash 4 U confirms 8 player support I will get it for that reason.

I'm surprised there is not an Amiibo bundle for the game that includes some special figure or something.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on October 11, 2014, 03:39:54 PM: I didn't realize they were re-issuing the controllers. I thought it was just a dongle that plugs into the USB or Wii remote like all the 3rd party ones floating around out there.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Adrock on October 11, 2014, 04:35:36 PM: I think the reissue is the entire point. Nintendo scores some goodwill points with hardcore Super Smash Bros. fans who just can't let go of a 13 year old controller, and it gets to make a killing doing so. Originally, PDP announced it was releasing an officially licensed Gamecube-style controller that plugs into the Wii Remote which people got excited about. Then, like a week later, Nintendo announced the Gamecube adapter and the controller reissue to which people predictably forgot about the PDP announcement.

The adapter essentially ensures that a certain subset of Super Smash Bros. players never have to give up the Gamecube controller. I plan on using the Wii U Pro Controller because I'm ready to move on and this is as good a time as any to do so. I really like the Pro Controller, and I think the transition from the 3DS version will be easier with the similar button layout.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on October 11, 2014, 05:59:44 PM: I like the Pro Controller as well, however options are never inherently bad. I also refuse to believe this bullshit about how this will only work with Smash4. Nintendo has a plethora of GC games they could put out on VC and while admirable that they would go the extra mile for the "Tourney / Pro" scene, it's complete overkill.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on October 11, 2014, 06:02:47 PM: Nintendo's hardware infrastructure is sophisticated enough now that it'd likely be possible to patch in support for the GC adapter in other things.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on October 11, 2014, 06:47:42 PM: The Pro controller is serviceable, but it's basically a somewhat altered copy of the Xbox 360 controller which I don't particularly like. I don't find it to be as comfortable as the Wii Classic Pro, and that isn't as comfortable as the GCN controller which was just nearly perfect. For a regular controller that is, the Wiimote and Nunchuk surpass everything else in terms of comfort.

I believe it. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is currently the only game with code written specifically to use the adapter, but that doesn't mean other games can't use it if a developer wanted to use it. Rather, no other games use it right now as no other software recognizes the adapter. Like insanolord said, it's something that can likely be patched later. Will other Wii U games will use it? Will developers go back and patch their games? Doubtful on both counts. I'd bet on just Super Smash Bros. since the controller itself has a following for the series. The Wii U has its own controllers. If Gamecube games eventually come to Virtual Console (and it's a shame this is not a reality yet), sure, I can see developers writing code specifically to access the adapter since it's already there.

The Pro Controller is my all-around favorite controller, but I wish I could pick and choose bits from the Gamecube controller which had better triggers as well as the most comfortable prongs of any controller ever. I was never fond of the D-pad, C-stick, and Z button on the Gamecube controller. I could give or take the button layout. It was perfect for some games and absolutely awful for others. The diamond layout that Nintendo invented has always worked well so I generally prefer it; I just wish it would go back to making X/Y concave like on the SNES controller.

Post by: broodwars on October 11, 2014, 08:23:11 PM: The Pro Controller is OK. I just don't like using it so much because it, like the GamePad, has the sticks and buttons in the wrong places. I'll take the GCN controller for Smash just to have the buttons where all 4 are actually usable.

Post by: Mop it up on October 12, 2014, 09:21:23 PM: I think Nintendo are focusing more on bringing new VC games rather than converting the old systems from Wii VC. DS games have also been announced for Wii U so I wouldn't be surprised if we see systems like DS and GCN, and then systems like N64 and Genesis and others remain available only in Wii mode. Since those games can technically still be purchased on a Wii U then Nintendo probably don't see them as a priority.

Not that they focus on the VC in general, but when they do throw it a bone, it's something like GBA stuff or Earthbound.

Yeah, I did think it was strange how the C-stick didn't have a grip on it like the left stick, but it wasn't too big a deal. I never had an issue with the D-pad or Z button though, and I don't recall the button layout hindering any of the games I played either. I think it works better than the diamond layout because when my thumb rests on the A button then the other three buttons are right next to it, whereas with the diamond there will always be one button far away from whichever button I'm using. And the controller does feel perfect for Smash Brothers, though the N64 one was pretty good too.

I noticed it when I played Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance the Game Cube pad was terrible for that game. There were others but it was so bad made the game nearly unplayable took major adjustments to get used to it. When I got it on PS2 it was like playing the game for the first time.

I don't know to what you referring with the e-shop credit but if you have transferred your Wii data to Wii U, the e-shop will recognize you have already downloaded the title on Wii and the price will automatically be discounted to the "upgrade" price In the cases of the DKC games, the upgrade price is $1.50. But since you have not done a system transfer yet, you will not see this discount for the Wii U version.

However the YTD sales remain lower than last year's. So the Wii U is selling better on a weekly basis but still doesn't yet look like it will sell more than it did last year. So was there some big splurge in sales last year that puts it over the top or a really weak period earlier this year?

The Wii U was still selling decently to start last year. I think the first week in January was way higher last year than this year plus the next few weeks.
This year started to be higher after I think Mario Kart was released.

Smash selling a lot is good, expected news. Hyrule Warriors selling 190k sound good. I assume it is good if Nintendo of America cared to mention it now instead of later.

Post by: Ymeegod on October 16, 2014, 07:31:27 PM: Don't think Nintendo cares about Hyrule Warriors sales because it's main publisher is Koei Tecmo, I think Nintendo's publishing the pal region. The sales actually are pretty good for Koei Tecmo's, right around other DW games.

Pretty sure it's going drop like a rock and be a bargin bin title for Black Friday. I can't see myself paying $60 for Hyrule Warriors but I might think about it at $20. Would have gotten in on Kmart's Preorder special ($40 rewards) but it was Out of Stock by the time I saw the deal.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 16, 2014, 11:13:34 PM: PS4 continues to dominate. SONY says that PS4 console sales tripled compared to August. Wii U sales are apparently up, but they are still deplorable. NPD says Xbone and PS4 made up 85% of all hardware sales, which means PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U and 3DS made up only 15% combined. People are saying that Destiny for XBone sold more than PS4. It did not. The PS4 sales do not include the Destiny console bundles.

And...once again Michael Pachter was hilariously wrong in a prediction, as he predicted Xbone would outsell PS4 due to the free game promotion. http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Xbox-One-Outsold-PS4-September-According-Michael-Pachter-67840.html :D (http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Xbox-One-Outsold-PS4-September-According-Michael-Pachter-67840.html)

I like this image mocking it:

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B0GTmHmCcAIuXZD.jpg:large)

It'll be interesting to see how much longer the PS4 continues to trounce the Xbone in sales (550,000 estimated), considering how light Sony's 1st party lineup is for the final 3 NPD months of this year.

I doubt it includes digital either. Which makes more sense to most people when the game requires you to always be online.

If there's anything a Nintendo enthusiast knows, it's that 1st party developed or published games (no matter the quality) do not necessarily have a huge and lasting effect on sales. The continued momentum and image of the PlayStation 4 will make it a rule the top for the rest of the year. Sunset Overdrive and Halo Master Chief Collection don't appear to be titles that will shift momentum from the PlayStation 4 to the Xbox One.

Right now my PS3 is going into back log mode only all new games I will reserve for the PS4 and the scraps that fall under the table onto the Wii U's plate.

Post by: shingi_70 on October 20, 2014, 06:28:52 PM: Looking at that list I bought Destiny, Fifa, and Madden, and i'll probably pick up NHL in December. Even as an xbox one owner it was easy to tell Patcher was full of **** like he always mostly is. In the end the PS4 will dominate this generation and i hope the Wii U and Xbox One can succeed in their own rights. While I think the PS4 has been light on first party in quantity and Quality, the mos exciting thing is how different all three first party line ups are right now and will be in the future based on what's announced.

Japan still loves Monster Hunter as total sales of MonHun4G sail past Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Other than the 3DS's good fortunes, everything else is looking soft.

Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on October 24, 2014, 09:42:21 AM: couple of things I noticed, the PS4 has out sold Wii U 3 weeks in a row and appears to be steadily climbing in numbers and widening the gap week to week, closing the lifetime gap. Second, Mario Kart 8 is hanging in there while Destiny is just about gone while Bayonetta and Hyrule Warriors already dropped off. Also PS Vita and Vita TV sales are lumped together, I seem to remember they used to be separate but I might be wrong.

I thought all versions of the same console were counted as 1 (New 3DS, 3DS and 3DS LL = 3DS). True ps4 is gaining on Wii U but if its only gaining on avg 2500-3500 consoles per week, by the time it catches Wii U in Japan it won't matter cause the Next Gen will have already began. I can't imagine what game that is already announced is gonna make folks buy a PS4 in droves over there...save for maybe Dragon Quest XI...which at this rate would be an iOS/android game.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on October 25, 2014, 01:28:05 AM: DQXI won't be a mobile game, if only because even with their premium App Store prices they couldn't get away with charging nearly as much as they could on an actual game system. The way I see it, there's about a 99% chance it'll be on 3DS.

If memory serves they will split the versions if there are big differences initially then put them back together as time moves on.

its been out less than a year and has been picking up steam week to week, the holidays are right around the corner, it won't be one single game, why do people think it has to be ONE game to get people interested in the console, it will have dozens of games that is kind of why its selling so well here.

It will have Street Fighter, it will have Castlevania, it will have pretty much everything Sega releases, those are all popular in Japan even if they aren't so much here. Nintendo's strategy is win everyone with every big game, Sony's strategy has always been just flood the market with as many games as they can and win everyone. weekly sales are barely above Wii U, but YTD is nearly DOUBLE, so it will not only catch up it will surpass it.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on October 25, 2014, 11:38:40 AM: The issue with the PS4 in the short term is there's almost nothing on it you can't get on the previous gen systems. Even despite that, though, it's outselling systems with at least a few exclusives (Xbox One) and what is at this point a really substantial and deep exclusive library (Wii U).
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on October 25, 2014, 11:48:18 AM: all the talk about console gaming is based on a few recent trends, the Japanese culture as a whole tend to be very tech friendly and as technology goes PS4 has that. The larger gamer population might have moved on to mobile but they might still have room for a dedicated console, the PS3 certainly hasn't had any trouble finding an audience over there, and it was a beast when it launched.

In the interest of being fair, I will say this, PS4 does have fewer actual exclusives at the moment, but it does have several in the works that should get people talking. Also it is still compatible with PSN which is where the library is perfectly mature already.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on October 25, 2014, 12:28:31 PM: It's not compatible with PSN outside things specifically built for the system. There's some good stuff there, but almost nothing exclusive. I do think the PS4 has the most reason to be optimistic about the future, but in the here and now it's easily the worst of the three.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: MagicCow64 on October 25, 2014, 01:54:06 PM: I mean, the PS4 has been beating the Wii U in Japan, for a couple of weeks, in a race of cripples. I believe the PS4 has recently fallen behind the trajectory of the Dreamcast as well. Persona 5 is going to be cross gen for a reason. The Japanese console scene just isn't looking good in general, and we'll be lucky if the US doesn't catch up in that regard.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on October 25, 2014, 02:29:53 PM: There actually is a Dragon Quest game coming to the PS4, though it's also going to PS3 and it isn't a mainline game. It's called Dragon Quest Heroes, and has no relation to the DS game of a similar title. It might still sell some PS4s even though it isn't exclusive.

Dragon Quest XI has already been announced, but not for a specific platform, just that it's coming to "home consoles." So it won't be on phones, but I wouldn't be surprised if it got moved/ported to 3DS.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on October 25, 2014, 02:58:05 PM: How did the Wii Dragon Quest sell? Wasn't there a Wii U upgraded version they released as well? Perhaps Nintendo will drop a pile of money to get it on their system.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on October 25, 2014, 05:19:19 PM: I don't see any way it's not on the 3DS unless it skips dedicated game hardware altogether. It's historically come to the best selling system, and in Japan that is by a wide margin the Nintendo 3DS.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on October 25, 2014, 05:35:51 PM: The man who pretty much owns the franchise wants it playable on a big screen, so I'd wager 3DS/PSsomething (preferably 3).
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on October 25, 2014, 06:11:10 PM: They could pull a Monster Hunter and release it for both 3DS and Wii U as effectively the same game.

On the upside, Playboy seemed to promote the game better than even Nintendo themshelves. http://www.playboy.com/galleries/pamela-horton-nintendo-bayonetta/slide-1

Well it doesn't look like any store in my area (Walmart/Kmart/Gamestop/BestBuy) is going carry Bayonetta 2 in-store. Damn shame Nintendo didn't try to market this game better.

The original Bayonetta was given a bigger marketing push by Sega and was released on two systems with userbases much bigger then the Wii U, and yet it still did poorly and was selling at bargin bin prices less then 2 months after release. Not hard to see why Bayonetta 2's shipment is so low.

Bayonetta like Platinums other games just don't have mass market appeal. Nintendo could have spent 100 million on marketing and released a PS4/One version as well and the end result would still be the same. Niche games are going to be niche no matter what.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: shingi_70 on October 26, 2014, 10:20:02 PM: Seems were not going to carry it at the store I work at either.....It makes me wonder what's going to happen with Scalebound. I've sort of came to peace with the fact that Platnuim will always make great bombs though i'd like to see them sell out at least just once.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on October 27, 2014, 12:18:03 PM: Went to the Best Buy in South Philly and they were either Sold Out or never had a copy. I'll go to the gamestop up the street from the house and see if they have it.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on October 27, 2014, 02:06:13 PM: Nintendo probably had low expectations for Bayonetta 2 based on things like the sales of the first game, so they probably didn't produce very many copies for the initial run.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on October 27, 2014, 05:56:37 PM: That worries me. I might have to bump up my timeline for buying the game if there is a chance it could become scarce early. I was hoping to pull a Metroid Prime Trilogy and snag it for $20 before everyone realized it was going out of print.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on October 27, 2014, 06:01:13 PM: Nah, I think they'll continue to print it for a while, they'll just do so in small batches. It isn't like Nintendo have anything else with which to fill shelves.

I have to imagine we're seeing a Xenoblade-level print run for Bayonetta 2, considering the thing bombed in Japan and the first game didn't sell that great, either.

NET INCOME: 14.3 billion yen (132.2 million USD)

OPERATING INCOME FORECAST: 40.0 billion yen (370.2 million USD)
NET INCOME FORECAST: 20.0 billion yen (185.1 million USD)

Nintendo has operated at a loss of 215 million yen, but due to the depreciating yen it has posted a net income of 14.3 billion yen.

Seriously. With how things are going Broodwars is going to need a NAS for his Console.

After the 90's I've never had this much problem with games and space.

Wii U at less than half the sales of the PS4. Sad but expected.

and both selling considerably less than the Dreamcast at their respective times after launch. Does that speak to how bad the console market is in Japan or just how awesome the Dreamcast was?

I think the market is more complicated now than it was then, Dreamcast was the hot new item, PS1 and N64 were showing their age. Wii U is already showing its age and PS4 is the hot new item but its also has to compete with PS3 and 3DS/New 3DS. Also notice how they lump New 3DS in with 3DS sales so its harder to tell if the newer model is actually selling.

Are you speaking exclusively about Japan here? Because PS4 has outsold the Dreamcast worldwide. In the US and Europe, PS4 passed Dreamcast's LTD sales months ago. At this point in Japan it's about on par with 1/3 of Dreamcast's sales after it's 3 years of being sold in the region.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on October 30, 2014, 06:45:20 AM: Yeah i was only talking about Japan. WW Dreamcast sold like 10.5million in 18 months before it got canned. Specifically, I'm talking about in Japan where the PS4 was the fastest console to sell under 10,000 per week (without shortages) by a few weeks. It's still selling like crap to only have launched like 8 months ago.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 30, 2014, 08:06:47 AM: Dreamcast was sold for 2.5 years in Japan before they announced its demise. But anyway, PS4 will probably hit about 13 million by its first anniversary (in 2 weeks), I'd say 15.5 million easily by the end of the year. Poor sales in Japan or not, that's still pretty damn good, making the Dreamcast comparison basically irrelevant. Also, that prize of fastest console to sell under 10,000 per month in Japan surely goes to Xbox 360, or the original Xbox, does it not? The original sold about 500,000 units in 3 years, the 360 sold 1.5 million in 6.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on October 30, 2014, 10:05:18 AM: You're right. I forgot DC sold for a year in Japan before it came to the states (I shouldn't post at 4am while doing back-ups). However since I was commenting on the Japanese Sales, I think its pretty relevant to the point. As well as PS4 is doing worldwide, it's stinking up the joint in the homeland and I used Dreamcast sales (considered by most to be an abject failure) to give some color to contrast the raw data of PS4 doubling Wii U sales for the last month.

*and I never considered Xbox consoles in Japan because ....why waste the ink. "We know MJ is the best, the debate is with number 2"

Post by: Ymeegod on October 30, 2014, 11:19:22 AM: The PS4 is selling quite well, only second to the WII first year sales while the WII U is on life support. Nintendo really needs to drop it's price now that MS has made it's move because Smash Bros alone won't be enough.

It's sad that the Gamepad is keeping the price high because the majority of titles don't even use the features other than off-screen play.

before getting a Wii U I felt the same way but man off tv play is the best thing to happen to video games in decades.

I would say that goes to XB1. It's been out 6 weeks in Japan? It's already in 3 digits. It took one week to go from 5 digits to less than 3,000. The last 3 weeks have been less than 1000 I think.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 31, 2014, 08:36:17 PM: But we're apparently not supposed to count Microsoft products, because it makes the PS4 look worse that way. If we ignore Microsoft products, then the number of post-Dreamcast consoles drops 33% (PS2, GameCube, PS3, Wii, PS4, Wii U instead of PS2, GameCube, Xbox, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, Wii U, PS4, Xbone).
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on November 01, 2014, 01:18:18 PM: I'm not sure my intent was to make the PS4 look worst but I think its unnecessary to count a system/company that we all knew would fail in that region. Its an irrelevant (game) company in Japan. Its been that way for over 10 years and nothing about the XboxOne looks like its bound to change that. Further Sony failing isn't good for any company in gaming. Just commenting on the raw data is all with my own spin on the best way to judge it.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on November 02, 2014, 12:14:15 AM: Dreamcast was barely on the market for what 4 years MAX, PS4 is going to do double that EASY. Dreamcast also had NO competition for the first year and a half it was on the market, two and a half if you count Japan. Also Dreamcast was the console Sega had promised to deliver no shortcomings they set out to fix everything wrong with the Saturn and they did. PS4 is an entirely different thing. It is facing a fiercely competitive console/mobile market where it has to compete with its last gen little brother, its portable and not-so-portable second cousin, and a Japanese-centric Wii U that has had a year head start. Comparing it to Dreamcast is silly. The consensus is Dreamcast was a failure so its a benchmark is flawed, Sega pulled the plug on Dreamcast, it was selling very well they were just too deep in debt to afford continued support because 1, they were taking losses on the machine, 2, their fees were too low to recoup, 3, they invested tons of money into an online infrastructure that didn't pay off, 4, they spent, at the time, an insane amount of money producing Shenmue for a major loss, and 5 PS1 was still getting all the big titles and PS2 was stealing all the next-gen thunder. IF Sega had the money like MS or Sony Dreamcast would not have been a failure, they discontinued it despite it selling really well. Sony is riddled with debt so that is the only comparison worth making, even still Sony has been restructuring and unlike Sega who made the mistake of butchering their core business in the weird hopes of keeping their console development in tact, Sony has done a pretty good job cutting the fat and if worse comes to worse they still have assets they could sell off for a premium and turn things around, Sega there was no going back they had nothing to sell, they sold off their entire sports line and that didn't work out so good for the entire industry now did it?

Xbox can still holds its own here in the States, especially with this new resurrgeance of "buy America" sweeping parts of the nation, Japan is a lost cause for Xbox but not Sony, I still firmly believe they will ultimately win Japan handily.

I think the reason Nintendo fans root for Sony bombing in Japan probably has to do with Nintendo needing to have a "win" in their camp in order to not lose all hope. Personally I have exhausted any hope I have left for Nintendo, I mainly got a Wii U now because if it does tank in a year or so, even if it takes that long to do so, it will still have a few good games in the mean time and as always its a Nintendo console if its anything like Saturn the more Wii U games I can get and hold onto the more money for me down the road when they turn into gold.

I'm pretty sure everyone here knows the Japanese console market will not have a winner this generation. All 3 consoles lost.

And we're also pretty sure everyone here knows the Japanese market will not matter this generation when it comes to console games, just as it didn't last generation. I'm sure Sony's crying hard over the Japanese market flopping when they've sold 13.5 million PS4s to Japanese-centric Nintendo's 7+ million Wii Us.

Post by: broodwars on November 14, 2014, 12:04:33 AM: I'm disappointed to see Alien: Isolation and Sunset Overdrive perform so poorly (not even making the list, though at least Sunset Overdrive has the excuse of being on the Xbone for only 4 days before the price drop. We could see it appear in November...but not likely), especially with **** like Evil Within, Destiny, and NBA 2K15 on there. I'm not surprised at all, though, to not see Bayonetta 2 on there.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on November 14, 2014, 12:07:19 AM: Sunset Overdrive would've been #9 under the old rankings (where a game could appear in the top 10 multiple times for different platforms). Basically, it SMTIV'd.

What about Alien Isolation? The last numbers I heard were from "That Place That Shall Not Be Named...Unless You're Bloomberg", and they were 400,000 across all platforms. I know Isolation is a very niche game, but you'd think a major movie licensed game would perform better. I guess it's paying for the sins of Colonial Marines.

Pokémon killing it in Japan again. Not sure if the US sales will be that high--think the pokemon craze is dying out in the NA market.

Post by: Stratos on November 28, 2014, 10:36:51 PM: The crazy died out a generation ago. The games just continue to appeal to the primary target market of kids. This is the kiddie version of NCIS; always appearing in the top 10 in some fashion.

I hate it and I do not watch it. Aside from the few minutes here and there I've seen it to roll my eyes at it and hate it some more. HAAAAAATTTTTEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on December 04, 2014, 07:38:24 AM: Etrian usually opens at 80/90k, even for EO1 Untold. I wonder how many of the people who would've bought it picked up Persona Q instead.

Phantasy Star Nova... some places were predicting it beating Pokemon, so that's gotta sting.

Congrats to the Wii U for crossing 2m. Hope the next million comes a little easier.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on December 04, 2014, 07:56:04 AM: I doubt there's much that could outdo a Pokémon debut in Japan, and I wouldn't put Phantasy Star even close. Full-on new Monster Hunter, mainline Dragon Quest, and that's about it.

So the Wii U crosses 2 million. I wonder if it'll surpass the GameCube's total for Japan which I think is 4 million-something.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on December 10, 2014, 08:46:44 AM: Well Japanese's smash numbers are in: 230K opening week, less than SMB Melee and Brawl's by a good chunk. Hardware wise a slight boost but nothing of note (24k for the week).

So having an 3DS version really did hurt the WII U Japanese sales in IMO, Nintendo should have made exclusive fighters for each platform because it doesn't look like people are double-dipping.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on December 10, 2014, 10:04:02 AM: Smash should have some nice looking legs but it seems as if the 3DS sales really took a chunk outta SmUsh. I forgot that Smash 3DS sold damn million in a week. Console number are solid. 3X over two weeks ago and 2x as last week. Should hold over dec ending the month in the 110k range.

EDIT: Smash U numbers are for only 1 day, as it was released on DEC 6th in Japan.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on December 10, 2014, 10:28:50 AM: Someone said, though, that that equates to 10% of the console's install base, which is nothing to sneeze at. It's not doing poorly because of the 3DS version, the 3DS version exists because with the state of the home console market in Japan the Wii U version was always going to be like this.

Super Smash Bros for Wii U smashes to the top with two days of sales. Not as smashing as some would like. New releases are spread through out the top 20 with notable bummers being Guilty Gear Xrd Sign and Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3rd. Or if you dislike Warriors games, perhaps that's just deserts.

For the United States.

Pokemon ORAS at 1.5 million (digital and physical) since Nov. 21.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS now at 1.5 million (digital and physical).

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U at 710k (digital and physical, I presume) since Nov. 21.
amiibo figures have sold ~710k with Link, Mario, and Pikachu (in that order) being the best selling.

EDIT: Wii U hardware sales you ask? Nintendo of America will only say that there was an increase of 10% from 2013. Software sales have increased 90% compared to last year, though.

Xbone 1.2m
PS4 800k
Wii U 245k

And I suspect that this month will be the only month the Xbone sells more than the PS4 for a very long time (PS4 will probably get a nice sales boost from the PlayStation Experience), given that the the Xbone's next big exclusive comes out in...Fall 2015. Meanwhile, the PS4 has a killer Spring 2015 lined up, so it'll be interesting to see how this looks going forward.

My usual mockery of the Wii U's abysmal sales numbers aside, I'm a little surprised Smash didn't give it more of a bump. It probably didn't help that Nintendo had no worthwhile bundles this year.

Hey, I'll buy as much Smash U stage DLC as Nintendo wants to make. Unlike Amiibos, at least THOSE have a purpose.

Post by: Ymeegod on December 12, 2014, 01:47:21 AM: The WII U numbers are a joke, Nintendo should FIRE it's marketing team because it really doesn't understand the Western Market at all. MS on the other hand seems to "correct" it's mistakes, it drop the Kinect, lowered the price and now it's back in the game while Nintendo went ahead and bundled two OLD games instead of newer ones.

Sony had a huge comeback last gen with the PS3 but I can't see that happening with Nintendo's WII U with retail and 3rd party support.

To be honest I can't see 2015 being a great year for sales for the WII U neither, sure Zelda an known AAA title but that's about it for "system sellers".

Post by: Ceric on December 12, 2014, 09:27:40 AM: I still think dropping the Kinect was a Short Term Gain at the expense of Long Term Profits. Still think they be better off keeping the Kinect and taking the loss on the the Price cut with it. It's the only thing that really makes for a unique only on XBOne Experience.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Adrock on December 12, 2014, 09:49:40 AM: I don't think Nintendo cares about making a huge comeback this generation (not saying it shouldn't, and that's a completely different discussion altogether). It seems to be on a generational schedule of addressing mistakes outside of things like price cuts. For example, Gamecube had next to no online, Wii had one. It sucked and Wii U's is leagues better though still not great. I think Nintendo is content walking the path of least resistence. Changing that **** mid-generation is hard and costly. It's just trying to get through this generation so it can start over. That may not be the best way, but at this point, Nintendo knows it can get away with doing so.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on December 12, 2014, 11:18:51 AM: Microsoft was basically giving away Xbones for Black Friday (and the entire month, really). Very impressive sales though, for both consoles (Xbone/PS4). That 400k overage is nice, but they are still millions behind PS4 worldwide (~7 million, or nearly 50%) and a million behind in the US. If they can keep it up for a few months they'll be even here at least. Wii U had a decent month as a Wii U month, but comparatively did pathetically.

The thing is Sony had to loss 5 billion dollars in order to make the comeback on the PS3 happen. Right now even with the Wii U's poor sales, Nintendo is at least profiting off the system right now. This is why they didn't cut the price this year like they did last year, since they've figured it's best to make money off the existing audience that's buying the system over losing more money in hopes it might gather larger appeal. Nintendo would rather have a system with low hardware sales but somewhat profitable, over a system like the PS3 that ends up selling 80 million, but ends up losing billions in the end.

I figured Mario Kart 8 and SSB have enough of a crossover of fanbases that many of those for which SSB would be a system seller would already have bought a Wii U for Mario Kart. Whichever one was released first was going to create the bump.

I think it's kinda neat to raise my Zelda amiibo to be better than me. Also, it's cute when she brings back spoils from matches. I got some custom skills I was missing!

I'd argue that Nintendo wasn't ready to replace the Wii at the time. This is seen through how many Wii U games that had been planned for launch period were delayed beyond. I'd go further and say that had Nintendo of America actually supported the Wii in its later years with games besides one or two major titles (I'm referring to actually localizing games instead of passing on multiple localizations that could pad out the later years), I'm certain that the Wii U would be in a better state. The Wii brand wouldn't have been made so weak, at least in North America.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on December 18, 2014, 09:36:25 AM: Back to brand management. If your going to keep a brand then you need to make sure that brand was Kick-Ass to the end. Sony was probably the only one to really achieve that this transition.

Post by: Luigi Dude on December 19, 2014, 12:54:38 AM: Even if Nintendo called the Wii U a different named and tried to treat it as a different brand, as long as the price, launch window lineup, controller, and almost non-existant third party support still remained the same, the system would still have suffered the same fate.

At the same time, even if Nintendo made sure the Wii had an amazing final year and the brand ended on a much higher note, that still wouldn't have meant anything for the Wii U if their biggest launch game had a similar game released on the much cheaper 3DS only 3 months earlier and the system was still $100 more expensive then the Wii was at launch with a bigass traditional controller that was literally the complete opposite of the main appeal the Wii remote had in the first place.

The Wii U's current state is a result of Nintendo messing up in nearly every category. Just fixing one of the mistakes they made wouldn't have done much when the others are just as devastating.

I'd argue that Nintendo wasn't ready to replace the Wii at the time.
And I'd agree with you. It wasn't which is pretty much the entire problem. I've said this before: what was Nintendo doing with all that time? It sacrificed the last two years of Wii's life to not be prepared to launch a new console. Nintendo wasn't ready to replace Wii, but it should have. As a console, Wii U in late 2013 after all those stability and speed patches is what Nintendo should have been able to launch. I realize that's easy to say way after the fact, but I don't think anything most of us have been saying is all that outlandish or unreasonable. Nintendo made so many mistakes a company in its position shouldn't make. It has been in the game too long to release a console that brutally slow and unstable (did anyone not get at least one weird error at launch?).

As far as the game lineup, what hasn't been said about it? Generally speaking, Nintendo didn't have a decent launch lineup until like a year after Wii U launched which is ridiculous. Mario, Pikmin, and a Zelda remake would have been a decent launch lineup. I'm not suggesting Nintendo just shift those releases forward because that's impossible. The games weren't ready, but they should have. It says a lot about Nintendo's lack of preparedness and time/resource management. It was obvious that some internal changes needed to be made and from the looks of it, Nintendo is making them. In the last couple years, it has opened a new building, started working with other companies to push titles out, and consolidated its console and handheld hardware divisions among other things. Whether that and whatever else is going on internally is enough remains to be seen, but acknowledging (though without outright admitting) and addressing those problem areas is still a good start.

Post by: Ceric on December 19, 2014, 03:12:22 PM: I will say this again. Anyone still upset about the launch price of a WiiU better not own an iPad and get their heads out of their asses.

I know in a new article Neal mentioned that 5 Years was the lowest that Nintendo has done before a new console. I like my Wii U for what it is but I don't think it has 3 years in it.

Post by: Louieturkey on December 19, 2014, 03:58:29 PM: What does the iPad have to do with the Wii U? IPad has many more games (quantity over quality yes) and does a lot more than the Wii U and you can use it anywhere, not just at home.

Not with its handhelds and certainly not with Wii. Nintendo practically had to be dragged kicking and screaming out of the Wii generation, grasping for dear life onto a console that should have been replaced at least two years before Nintendo begrudgingly replaced it.

I'd argue that Nintendo wasn't ready to replace the Wii at the time. This is seen through how many Wii U games that had been planned for launch period were delayed beyond. I'd go further and say that had Nintendo of America actually supported the Wii in its later years with games besides one or two major titles (I'm referring to actually localizing games instead of passing on multiple localizations that could pad out the later years), I'm certain that the Wii U would be in a better state. The Wii brand wouldn't have been made so weak, at least in North America.

If NOA had localized the rainfall games themselves then what would actually have come out for the Wii in 2012? In 2011 I was pissed off that they weren't localizing those titles as it felt like there was nothing for the whole year until Zelda came out at the end. But 2012 was even more barren for the Wii. If Xenoblade had been localized by NOA in a normal time frame then 2012 would have really been a bunch of nothing. I guess Last Story would probably still have been a 2012 title here due to the time it would take to translate. The only Wii game from 2012 I can think of that actually came out in Japan in 2012 is Mario Party 9. In North America we got a couple 2011 titles moved into 2012 but Japan got practically nothing at all. NOA couldn't localize titles that weren't being made.

The most baffling thing is that Nintendo made a big stink about how HD games require more resources and time to make and used that argument to suggest that their approach with the Wii was the better option. So did they not believe that themselves? Were they so arrogant that they felt it only applied to everyone else? Or are they just idiots to not follow their own warning? Their resulting actions are so bizarre it seems literally insane. It must be hubris. The Wii success went to their heads so they got lazy.

No, it didn't. You did. And you keep bringing this up and you're not even getting it right. Miyamoto said this one time at a shareholders meeting to explain why some games were delayed. That's hardly "making a big stink about it." Someone asked him a question and he answered it. And Miyamoto's answer had absolutely nothing to do with the company's approach with Wii. It wasn't even implied. You conjured that up out of thin air. Jebus, man. Here's the quote (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2013-07-05-miyamoto-we-underestimated-cost-of-hd-development):
Quote from: Miyamoto
When it comes to the scale of software development, Wii U with HD graphics requires about twice the human resources than before. Please allow me to explain that we may have underestimated the scale of this change and as a result, the overall software development took more time than originally anticipated just as we tried to polish the software at the completion phase of development. However, we are almost out of this phase, and we are also trying to create something unique utilizing an easier development approach called “Nintendo Web Framework.”
Can you stop making things up now? Can you let it go? You're making mountains out of molehills which I realize is your modus operandi, but seriously, knock it off. This is from a year and a half ago and Miyamoto stated Nintendo was nearing the end of that issue.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: MagicCow64 on December 23, 2014, 09:50:19 PM: I mean, maybe he's mixing in part of the rationale for making the Wii sub-HD, which was that HD TV adoption rates were still pretty low during the Wii's development. Which I think was actually the correct call, one supported by he fast that Microsoft stopped shipping HDMI cables with the 360 when they figured out that most owners weren't even using it or hadn't actually set up their entertainment systems to take advantage of the higher native resolution. Just as many say that Nintendo fucked up by not matching the PS360 specs/optical output, I'm pretty sure that Microsoft and Sony could've released 480P consoles and outside of bitching from a small enthusiast base most people would not have minded, would have in fact liked the better FX this would have facilitated, and as a bonus the game budget arms race wouldn't have gotten so out of control and we'd have a lot more development houses still working today.

Considering the Wii U won't have any games left in development by May 2016, it should be "all over" regardless of how the PS4's doing at that point.

Post by: NWR_insanolord on January 14, 2015, 10:52:24 PM: He is pulling it out of his ass, but there would also seem to be a pretty decent likelihood that he's right. Zelda will likely be out by then, the Wii U successor probably launching that holiday. If not nothing, there won't be much left.

Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on January 15, 2015, 07:54:42 PM: Funny thing is the other Japanese outlet, (Famitsu?) has Wii U ahead of PS4 in japan by close to the same amount. Are they not reliable? As long as Wii U is relevant in terms of 1st party releases, the fight in Japan will be neck and neck.

Also whats best guess at Nintendo's current new gen market share. 28%?

That's only if you count them as the same game, which you don't.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on January 15, 2015, 11:15:01 PM: They counted the two Smash games as one number but separated the Pokémon remakes, which is so unbelievably backward.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on January 16, 2015, 12:23:41 AM: Why don't you count them as one game? COD, Madden, Street fighter, pretty much all publishers count their multiplatform games as 1 sku for sales purposes. NPD doest separate for chart purposes AND most importantly, they're pretty much the same game.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on January 16, 2015, 12:29:26 AM: But they're not the same game. They have different names, they are different games. They have different stages and different modes. NPD is stupid.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on January 16, 2015, 12:29:57 AM: You don't count them as one game because they're two games. There are very significant differences between the two. Those other games are virtually identical across different versions. I guarantee you a much higher proportion of people bought both versions of Smash Bros. than bought multiple versions of Madden.

Post by: Luigi Dude on January 16, 2015, 12:59:37 AM: The Wii U version of Smash Bros was the 4th best selling individual SKU of December, with the 3DS version at 6th. So a Smash Bros would still be in 4th place even if NPD didn't combine the sales. :P:

Getting back to some actual sales discussion, Captain Toad did 250k physically for the month which is really good for the type of game it is. Combine Japan and Europe sales it's probably close to 500k worldwide by now.

Are you a Timelord? Also in what regard to you mean terrible? Cause from a software standpoint, it's been above ps4/xb1 since they launched and nothing on the horizon appears to be changing that. As long as their marketshare does't drop below 25% for an extended period of time (6months), I thinks Wii u will get solid support and they may even get some other publishers to come back. Its hard to ignore a platform,( albeit weak )with nearly 10 miilion users.

Sure it is, it depends on how long it takes to get those 10 million users compared to the competition as well as the return on investment. TG16 sold 10 million units in five years and had less than 100 games released for it. Dreamcast sold close to that in 3 years and never got more than token support even when it was a hot item.

There is so much more to the decisions than "user base" just look at Wii as an example. Third parties are not coming back they didn't come back one Game Cube after jumping ship and that thing was selling far better than Wii U.

Xbone is ahead of Wii U by 2 million, that includes Japan which does not exist for Xbone, and of course remembering that it came out one year after the Wii U. It's easy to argue that Xbone would be at about triple Wii U sales if it came out at the same time, and PS4 would be at quadruple (it has already doubled Wii U's LTD (over 18 million), again, with a year less of sales).

The 440k for Tropical Freeze is just physical sales in America, so with digital, it could be close to 500k in North America alone. It sold a little over 100K in Japan, and it was on top of the charts in France and Germany when it was originally released. So realistically Tropical Freeze should be over 700k and maybe even closer to 800k. So yeah, it'll surpass the 1 million mark sometime this year.

Wii U is at 10million units and xbox is at 12million. And while it would take and "Act of God" (Half-life 3 bundled with Shenmue and DQ11) to catch PS4, it's far too early to know how the rest of this gen shakes out. Amiibo Poke'mon MMO on wii u could easily close that gap in a few months. [/size][size=78%] [/size]

Post by: MagicCow64 on January 18, 2015, 03:00:04 PM: I think it's possible at this point that the WiiU gets into the Gamecube sales ballpark, which was looking like a pretty doubtful proposition this time last year. Granted, that's not really tying, given population growth, but it'll take some of the stink off the console in retrospect. The Gamecube is fairly well-remembered at this point for its library, and even with the third-party apocalypse I think the WiiU will finish out with an equally respectable line-up.

You do realize the sales were higher this year then last year right? Not only that, but Nintendo is actually profiting off the systems sold this year unlike last year were they were selling at a loss.

Seriously, the Wii U will end up with the traditional 5 year Nintendo lifespan in the end. The whole goal for all Nintendo systems is to be profitable and right now the Wii U is actually achieving that. Yes they would like Wii U sales to be higher, but they're not going to kill it off premature only to then rush a new system to launch because that's much riskier and can loss a lot more money in the end which Sega already proved long ago. The Gamecube, despite selling worse then the N64 still lasted as long for the exact same reason. Nintendo isn't Sega, and knows that achieving profit off a system is the number one goal even if that means supporting a system with a smaller userbase for a few years longer.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Khushrenada on January 19, 2015, 01:27:49 AM: Exactly. If Nintendo were to release a new console in 2016, that means they would be competing with PS4 and XBone and their 3 year lead. And even if XBone is still lagging behind and close to Wii U levels, do you think Microsoft is going to kill that system off after just 3 years to start a new generation along with Nintendo? They'll probably ride it out for 5 years also. Sony obviously isn't going to start the next generation first with the position they're currently in. If Nintendo were to launch a new system in 2016 while Sony and Microsoft wait another couple years until they launch their successors, then isn't Nintendo back in the same spot they are with Wii U with people calling it last generation or a half generation behind? It won't be "next-gen" anymore.

Unless they truly believe they aren't competing with Sony and Microsoft and can just launch whatever product they want at anytime they want, I think they will ride out the Wii U for a few more years to stay close in line with the Sony and Microsoft successors. I'd still be surprised if that means they will launch a console with hardware specs and programming very similar to what Sony and MS are doing though. But I do think they will at least try to stay close to their launches.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on January 19, 2015, 09:15:18 AM: It'a more about marketshare and less about sales numbers per se. Assuming the current gen sale pie is approx. 45million consoles, Wii U is at about 23% to XboxOne 26% and thats after a price drop and crazy good bundle. Nintendo is doing exactly what I wanted them to do after their outstanding E3 last year and thats Double Down on the WiiU. "Save for the future but not at the expense of the moment. Be mindful of the living gamer."
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Evan_B on January 19, 2015, 11:17:14 AM: I remain hopeful, but Nintendo is running out of ideas, honestly. They're padding the Wii U with games like Captain Toad and Rainbow Curse NOW and that doesn't leave room for full-sized games later. I'm a bit confused as to what their scheme is with the Wii U, however I will say this- I'm extremely interested for what they DO put out on the Wii U come 2016 (aside from the obligatory Animal Crossing) because we've been hearing about the same games for the past two years and those are just about ready to launch.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on January 19, 2015, 02:15:17 PM: Five years is not a normal console lifespan anymore. The Wii lasted six years, the PS3 seven and the Xbox 360 eight. If the Wii U lasts for five years then Nintendo is still releasing their next console well before the start of the next generation and needs to make an educated guess on what sort of hardware they'll be competing with. Is there much a difference if they do that after five years or four? The Wii U sure as hell isn't going to last seven years or whatever timeframe it will be before the other guys move to a new gen. Nintendo either needs to release a future proof console that competes with the next gen or they release two consoles approximately within the same generation as the PS3/XB1 and move to the next gen around the same time as the other guys. Let's assume the PS5 and XB2(?) come out in 2020. Nintendo could release a Wii U successor in 2016 giving the Wii U a four year lifespan and then release that console's successor in 2021, giving it a five year lifespan and only being one year off of the other guys. They don't even have to guess then. The 2016 console merely has to be a match for the PS4 and the 2021 console has to match competing consoles that have already been released. And Nintendo has no consoles that really got abandoned as the Wii U gets the same lifespan as the original Xbox.

Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on January 19, 2015, 02:56:33 PM: Niles you keep forgetting that no matter what happens sales wise the Xbox One is too similar to PS4 so its going to be seen as the true competition whereas Wii U is still seen as last gen. Like it or not that is how the rest of the worlds sees it even if Nintendo and their die hard fans don't. Also Xbox One has strong third party support and has already passed Wii U sales in half the time, so no Wii U is not going to stick close to Xbox One by this time next year the big boys will be so far ahead Nintendo will have no choice but to consider moving on, like the rest of the world already has. Wii U isn't going to do GamCube numbers that is a fantasy, its taken 2 years of struggling to get here, even if it gets a five year span, year three is the peak so year for and five are downhill Wii U has to catch up to where Gamecube was in the middle of its life before Wii U gets to the middle and that is not happening period. Wii U will be lucky to move 18 million lifetime.

Post by: NWR_insanolord on January 19, 2015, 03:40:41 PM: If Nintendo's going to release a console of comparable to the PS4 and Xbox One, sooner rather than later is better. If they'd released the Wii U in 2010 it might have worked. Banking on getting ports from your competition's a more effective strategy if your competition has more than a year left in its life.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on January 19, 2015, 04:28:08 PM: Honestly the end of the year is basically when that window of comparable specs disappears. Their best bet would be making a console with the same architecture as the XBone and PS4, maybe just HIGHER clockspeeds and more RAM, period. That would basically ensure 100% of 3rd party games, since development is so similar on both consoles. They just need to add something to make it sell, but they cannot afford to gimp on the specs whatsoever, and really need to just basically use the same chipsets.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on January 19, 2015, 04:32:09 PM: With the way consoles are at this point, they could probably be fine doing it in 2016. Probably over half a console cycle left to piggyback onto.

Huh? It seems that you guys may have on rose-tinted glasses when it come to how well other systems have sold in the past. Comparative to past consoles, how does the Wii U rank? Also the streaky uptick in sales, while minuscule in units is still steady in the right direction. Lets not forget that PS3 sold like sand in Vegas for the first couple years .

And for heavens sake, we ain't getting a new console till this thing stops turning a profit. It takes a failure in both profits and marketshare and at this point and for the foreseeable future that doesn't look like its going to happen.

OR. I could be wrong as vegan lion and the sky is falling. Doom and black mist permeate amongst the gamers.

Here for starters.

This very own sales thread if you go back far enough, and reading magazine articles from 2003/2004.

Software sales were much higher on GameCube and so was 3rd party support. Somehow people act like GameCube had zero 3rd party support when it actually had pretty strong support for a while, it faded near the end and some high profile games were left out but most of the so-called lack of 3rd party games comes from people who were "betrayed" by the Capcom deal and from that point on they acted like GameCube just didn't get a single 3rd party game.

Forgot the Gamecube but it was at 15 million mark as well.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Evan_B on January 21, 2015, 03:16:05 PM: With the way Nintendo has been managing their eShop ventures and promoting smaller titles I could see the Wii U lasting a long time. The Wii VC titles are a great example of this. They are offering these games because they sold less than the major Wii titles and despite the effort put into porting them, each purchase is money right into Nintendo's pocket. That could certainly sustain the company through a poor selling console life. Not the Wii VC in specific, but similar business practice.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on January 21, 2015, 03:36:35 PM: Nintendo has to think about the future. If they stick with the Wii U for too long, even if it remains profitable it will erode their mindshare among the gaming market to nothing. The Wii U is not culturally relevant. Every year Nintendo waits to replace it is another year of Nintendo being irrelevant in the console market. Too many of those and Nintendo launches the Wii U successor to utter indifference to a market that has written them off.

I'm of the age where Nintendo, not Atari, was my first real introduction to videogames. By the time the Atari Jaguar came out, I just saw them as some old dinosaur. Yes, the Jaguar was also a lousy product but "made by Atari" at that point meant **** to me and other gamers my age. Kids born the year the Wii came out turn 9 this year. If Nintendo takes too long to replace the Wii U those kids will be teenagers - teenage gamers that have never known Nintendo to be anything other than those casual game gimmick controller guys, which is exactly what Nintendo should not want with their next console or it will be doomed to repeat the Wii U's fate. And the kids that liked the Wii fad will be adults. Wait too long and there's a whole generation of their target audience for which they're nothing but a dumb fad.

Sure NES came along and changed the world but how did you live at that time and NOT have at least one Atari machine in your circle of friends? You also forget Atari was still making computers when Jaguar released they were relevant just not to you apparently. I remember the hype over Jaguar, it was all over the TV, magazines, even comic books that thing didn't fail because it had no hype it failed because a, it had no compelling games, and b, Atari was fucking broke because of unrelated bad decisions. Same thing that killed Sega they didn't fizzle out either the Dreamcast had major hype and big sales it just was too little too late due to all their debt. Its not the same at all.

Niles, you seem to be one of those that thinks Nintendo is a unified company offering a single product, your mistaken there are two different audiences I am one of those who does not game on handhelds like ever so I don't give a **** what their hand held is doing it always pisses me off when someone complains there aren't any games for the CONSOLES and some dickhead replies with a list if games that are handheld only. *not calling you dickhead just saying in general how I feel about that. The very fact that Nintendo's handhelds have never had trouble staying strong in sales but their consoles have should indicate they are two different markets. If the fucking Wii U had half the damn games 3DS had it would be selling pretty damn good. Game Cube didn't have that problem there were only select franchises missing from its library the Wii U is flip side there isn't even token support from major developers anymore.

Sure NES came along and changed the world but how did you live at that time and NOT have at least one Atari machine in your circle of friends? You also forget Atari was still making computers when Jaguar released they were relevant just not to you apparently. I remember the hype over Jaguar, it was all over the TV, magazines, even comic books that thing didn't fail because it had no hype it failed because a, it had no compelling games, and b, Atari was fucking broke because of unrelated bad decisions. Same thing that killed Sega they didn't fizzle out either the Dreamcast had major hype and big sales it just was too little too late due to all their debt. Its not the same at all.

The NES came out about two months before my fourth birthday. For me and my school friends it was effectively our introduction to videogames. Also parents didn't really play videogames back then so it wasn't like as a baby I was watching my Dad play like a kid of today might. I didn't have an Atari and my relatives and friends didn't have one.

Niles, you seem to be one of those that thinks Nintendo is a unified company offering a single product, your mistaken there are two different audiences I am one of those who does not game on handhelds like ever so I don't give a **** what their hand held is doing it always pisses me off when someone complains there aren't any games for the CONSOLES and some dickhead replies with a list if games that are handheld only. *not calling you dickhead just saying in general how I feel about that. The very fact that Nintendo's handhelds have never had trouble staying strong in sales but their consoles have should indicate they are two different markets. If the fucking Wii U had half the damn games 3DS had it would be selling pretty damn good. Game Cube didn't have that problem there were only select franchises missing from its library the Wii U is flip side there isn't even token support from major developers anymore.
Would you rather the situation be more like Sony, who makes many games on their consoles cross-compatible and thereby kills the reason to own one over the other?

Joking, of course, because I know what you want. However, Nintendo applies the same techniques in designing their console and handheld architecture, though it doesn't work as well for their home consoles brcauee everyone expects a stationary device to have some decent processing power and steady internal flexibility.

Your definitely not losing that. It is not a Zero sum gain. You just don't have to pay again for non-unique games. Just because the Vita has Crossplay doesn't mean there aren't exclusives.

Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on January 23, 2015, 03:31:59 PM: Again I think Ian lived in a different world than I did everyone played Atari it was new, mostly adults playing at that time. My parents stopped playing when Nintendo came out. Also I must come from a poorer background because we didn't even get an NES until like 1990 so yeah it was out there but its not like the day NES came out all of a sudden all those Atari units just disappeared. It must have been different in your part of the country but where I lived people had Atari on into the early 90's before NES and Sega took over and most people I know didn't even get an SNES or until 93 or latter.

Getting back to Wii U, I think Nintendo is stupid for not having the same games on it as 3DS, they have different versions they make the hand held version portable and the console version the bigger game, that *is* how they used to do it why did they stop doing that?

The likely answer is that it's because Japan stopped buying console games.

Funny enough, one of Ian's complaints about the Wii U is that it does have the same games as the 3DS.

New Super Mario Bros. 2 & New Super Mario Bros. Wii U
Super Mario 3D Land & Super Mario 3D World
Mario Kart 7 & Mario Kart 8
Smash Bros. 3DS & Smash Bros. Wii U

In all these cases, the console version is the bigger, more powerful version.

There's other comparisons one could make as well:

Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins & Lego City Undercover
Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion & Epic Mickey: The Power of Two
Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal & Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric
Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate & Batman: Arkham Origins
Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D & Donkey Kong Country Returns: Tropical Freeze
Mario Party: Island Tour & Mario Party 10
Yoshi's New Island & Yoshi's Wooly World
Star Fox 64 3D & Star Fox Wii U
Xenoblade Chronicles 3D & Xenoblade Chronicles X
Zelda: A Link Between Worlds & Zelda Wii U

Yes, I realize a bunch of the Wii U games haven't released yet but do you really think they are not going to be the bigger and more powerful version of that brand/series compared to its 3DS counterpart? So, they're still doing that. It hasn't really stopped. However, portable technology has gotten better and so the experiences aren't as dissimilar as they used to be.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on January 23, 2015, 05:35:38 PM: I'm of the idea that if you have the same games on the console as you do on the handheld the reasoning for having them as two separate platforms is arbitrary. Nintendo in particular doesn't even offer cutting edge hardware on their console. You can't go cutting edge on a handheld because of size and battery issues. That's why a distinction exists. But if you don't care about hardware, which Nintendo clearly doesn't, why is there two platforms? So you've got a handheld and a slightly-better-hardware non-handheld? That's idiotic. If you're going to limit yourself to weaker hardware then you might as well have one format for all your games. If the 3DS and Wii U were actually equal hardware wouldn't it be dumb and anti-consumer to make them incompatible?

What's interesting is that while Sony's failure to differentiate their two platforms hurts their handheld, for Nintendo it is the opposite. It makes sense as Sony's console is a bigger better experience. It's the deluxe model. The Wii U however has a lot of problems the 3DS does not have. Nintendo isn't offering cutting edge hardware for ANY of their games and the 3DS is better supported and cheaper to buy so why not get that instead of the Wii U? Hell the Wii U's big gimmick is a touchscreen, which the 3DS has!

I think part of Nintendo's reasons for going with motion control and touchscreens and stuff like that is that since they weren't going to be up-to-date with console hardware anymore they needed some alternate feature to make the two platforms incompatible. Can't do Wii Sports on a DS, can you? The whole concept of two platforms has always had a shelf life. At some point hardware will plateau to the point where you can offer the same hardware performance in both formats and then it might as well be one format. If the Game Boy could have been literally a handheld NES with no impact on the battery life or size of the device then why wouldn't it have been so? Here, go buy two differently shaped cartridges for exactly the same game? That makes no sense.

But Nintendo and Sony obviously want us to buy two platforms and buy two separate games. It's a business model that will eventually make no sense and the question is how long will these companies maintain two formats. You figure at least one of them will be the dinosaur sticking to a business model that no longer makes sense watching their systems flop while the market embraces someone else with a single format model.

You're right to a point. However, I don't know ONE person IRL that has a Wii U but not a 3DS. That's what I mean. I get that sh*t don't roll uphill but if anybody is closer to buying a console (given they have a valid reason) it's a 3DS owner. or it should be.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on January 23, 2015, 07:17:45 PM: Personally, I don't see a point in having two similar systems on the market, much less three if Nintendo joined in on that. The only reason that still exists is because Sony, MS, and Nintendo all want control, but having one unified platform would be best for consumers and developers alike. That's why, for better or worse, I prefer it when Nintendo do their own thing instead of making a system exactly like the others. The GameCube is my least-fave Nintendo system and I think part of that is because there wasn't really anything to distinguish it from the PS2/Xbox/Dreamcast.

I may have my issues with the Wii U but I still wouldn't want it to be a PS4/XBONE clone.

That's also why I'm for the idea of making some sort of single hybrid system that's both a home console and a portable. The gap between Wii U and 3DS seems more narrow than ever, making it feel more and more redundant to have them be separate. Fortunately, with Nintendo doing things like unifying their console and handheld departments, I think we'll see a movement towards some sort of hybrid over the coming generation(s). I don't know what kind of form it may take though, but I think it'll be an improvement.

For many years I didn't like the concept of one console standard because I was afraid whoever's design would get used would be flawed in some serious way. Like the hardware wouldn't be sufficient for certain types of games or the load times would be bad or the controller would suck. I guess I was afraid Nintendo wouldn't be the guys to design it but now I actually would want them in control LEAST of all the big three. The idea still kind of scares me because I see bullshit like completely unworkable touchscreen controls in phone games and I'm scared that the standard design would be set by a non-gaming company that makes a standard that is horrible for core games but is good enough for the mainstream so it gets accepted. If someone was to make one platform they would have to REALLY know videogames.

I see you haven't played anything Sony's put out 1st party in about...8 years. Their software's improved dramatically since the PS2 days thanks to studios like Sucker Punch; Naughty Dog; and Media Molecule. As for Microsoft...well...people like Halo, and Microsoft's picked up studios that know what they're doing (like Remedy, maker of Alan Wake & the upcoming Quantum Break).

From a hardware standpoint, the PS4's a damn nice gaming system, and the Xbone's...improving. Still, I'll take either's UI over the load time-ladden clusterfuck that is the Wii U's UI.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Evan_B on January 24, 2015, 05:52:21 AM: I've played enough to know the three studios you are referencing, which honestly haven't made much improvement at all, Naughty Dog in particular stripping a lot of interactivity from their titles for a more visually engaging experience. That's an argument for another time, but I will say this: they know how to market presentable video games, but they still don't know much about the value of satisfying gameplay.

I will agree that, technically, Sony's console is the most impressive. But the games developed by their teams lack so much and do little with that hardware aside from visuals. I will admit it's the most appealing console to develop on, but that's because it's designed and performs like a little PC. There's nothing wron with that, but it is telling in regards to where the "console business" is headed, AKA nowhere fast.

Post by: Luigi Dude on January 24, 2015, 09:31:28 AM: Having one unified console is stupid no matter who is in charge. Competition is needed in order to prevent companies from getting away with stupid bullshit which you know they'll do. Sony tried to get away with a $600 console back in 2006 and that was when they had competition. How much do you think Sony would have charged for the PS3 if it was the only videogame console on the market? Same with the crap Microsoft tried to pull with the One back in 2013 which they only backtracked on once it was revealed the PS4 didn't have the same stupid features. If Microsoft was the only company releasing a console, do you think they would have backtracked on the no used games, always online and mandatory Kinect bullshit?

Even Nintendo is very guilty as well. Just look at the GBA when Nintendo didn't have any competition in the handheld market. They were pulling crap like the Mario Advance series and charing $20 for individual NES ports for fucks sake. Notice how as soon as Sony releases a handheld, then Nintendo finally decided to release a new 2D Mario again, where as before they couldn't be bothered since there was no point since people were buying Nintendo handhelds since that was the only handheld on the market.

End point, competition is needed because without it, any company will become lazy and greedy. A one console future is the worst thing that can possibly happen to the industry no matter who is in charge.

There would still be systems made by different companies that might have different features like there are with DVD/Blu-ray players, but they would all play the same media so every game would be compatible.

I think it was important to have different systems from different companies for the first few decades that games existed, since it was uncertain what the standards of the future would be and companies were trying different things and seeing what stuck. But as systems now get more and more homogenous, it makes less and less sense to have different systems.

As far as controllers go, there already exist third-party controllers for current systems that sport different designs for people who want alternatives, so I'm sure there'd be different styles of controllers available for a unified system. There would probably also still exist specialty controllers made for certain games, similar to how we've had things like light guns, balance boards, etc over the years.

For the first few years it had to compete with VHS, LaserDisc and that defunct DIVX. Then by the time Blu Ray came along which also had to compete with DVD, and HD-DVD for a brief period, there was also Netflix, and then Roku, Itunes, and then Vudu, Ultra Violet, and the list goes on. Even when VHS was still fairly new it was not in the market all alone it had a whole decade where Beta Max, LaserDisc, CED, and Video8 all made attempts to enter the market. YES VHS was the dominant format for a few years and same with DVD but they were never even close to a single standard everyone bought. Those are just the most popular and semi-successful companies there were dozens more.

Really? So Netflix, Hulu, iTunes, they don't have their own exclusive library of films they publish? There have been countless direct to video movies that were released on VHS and never ported to DVD, there were dozens of different concerts, documentaries, low budget films, even adult films that were released on LaserDisc that have yet to be ported to DVD or Blu Ray. I am a regular member of the Blu Ray forum and at last count there were close to 6000 titles exclusive to Laser Disc, not everything released to home video is Hollywood releases, I would actually argue there are probably far fewer video game exclusives than home video content, especially when you take into account locally produced content. I am pretty sure there aren't very many web only series released on any home video format and I am pretty sure concerts and music videos are all over the place.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on January 24, 2015, 04:44:44 PM: Well of course not every VHS movie was released on DVD, but that's because it was a replacement format. Every GameCube game didn't get re-released on Wii for example. I'm more talking about formats that competed directly with each other, things didn't carry labels like "Only on DVD!" like the labels games had.

This is missing the point anyway. I didn't state that DVD was the only place where movies are released, just that DVD itself is a unified format in the sense that a bunch of different companies make DVD players with different feature sets, but they all still play DVDs. And so I think that's how game consoles could work too. There would obviously still be other devices that played games too like PC and phones for example.

Um no it wasn't, it was the ashes of the 3DO M2 project that was hyped for six fucking years in every gaming magazine right until it morphed into what it was and then faded into obscurity. It was a legit effort to make a true standard by LG, AT&T, JVC, Panasonic, and Electronic Arts, you can't get more video game insider than that. It failed for too many reasons to count but it was an honest attempt at a unified standard. If you want to get technical the Playstation band is as close to a standard as we have, based on sales numbers and 3rd party support alone.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on January 25, 2015, 04:17:00 PM: You make no sense. The Nuon was hyped by no one. This is the first I've ever heard of it. Ever. And yes, when people think "video game insider" they immediately think of LG, AT&T, JVC, and Panasonic.

Every game console (real consoles, made by Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Sega, Atari, etc) is 100% "A STANDARD." They are just different standards. This argument is stupid and is only getting worse.

Post by: Mop it up on January 25, 2015, 04:21:02 PM: Yeah, I vaguely remember hearing about the Nuon, the name sounds familiar and that's about it. I certainly don't remember any hype for it. I think it may have been at an E3 once and that's where I heard about it. Or maybe I'm confusing it with the Phantom. All these failed systems are difficult to keep track of.

Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on January 25, 2015, 07:11:41 PM: Also 3DO was intended to be a unified standard that was the whole purpose. It was released BEFORE Sony got into video games and remember Mattel used to make video games too there was a time where they weren't just Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. Anyways it doesn't matter the point is there was an attempt at a standard before and there is a movement to make the Windows PC that standard going on 20+ years now, its been a total failure. Steam Machine won't be any more successful.

Post by: Ian Sane on January 26, 2015, 12:59:58 PM: We got standard formats for movies and music because of how easy it is to make something to works for everything. Does the movie play with the correct picture and sound? Yes? Okay well then that could be a decent standard. With those mediums it either plays or it doesn't. How could you have an audio format for example that just couldn't play certain types of music? It's all just a recording playing back. You would have to try to mess that up.

But videogames are software and are much more complex. It would be very hard to make a standard where all existing games could be ported accurately. Even now with emulation you get weird issues. Windows is supposed to be backwards compatible but all sorts of old software becomes incompatible with new Windows versions. We effectively have a standard in computing and yet it has tons of problems. With a standard videogame console we would get the same types of problems.

Besides converting a movie from one format to another is relatively easy. Converting a videogame is a huge challenge. A port is like the equivalent of a band re-recording their hit song and hoping it sounds the same. You're not really converting the game but recreating it to be a similar as possible. Emulation is more accurate but they never seem to get it perfect and then you also get weird stuff like on-screen instructions to push certain buttons that may or may not match up with a button on the standard controller. You emulate a PlayStation game and it will say to press 'square' while a Nintendo game will say press 'A'. That's minor stuff to us but for mainstream users it would seem strange. So does your controller then label each button to have multiple names? Do you alter the code to standard the button names? Keep in mind that button position is what really matters but Nintendo, Sega and Microsoft controllers have all had the 'A' button in a different position. A shitty standard would just match all 'A's to 'A' but that would end up flipping the controls of some games.

Yeah, I never said it would be easy, and this is one thing that would be challenging about it. But, as we get closer to reaching the limits of technology, we're seeing diminishing returns with each new system that comes out, and less differences between the systems available, and generations become longer. So I think there will be a point in the future where the idea is much more feasible, and it wasn't in the past since technology was still evolving rapidly and in different directions.

Even if the Wii U had more games Hyrule Warriors still would have reached a million anyway. Zelda is still a major franchise in the West with a very dedicated audience. If a million hardcore Zelda fans were willing to buy a prettier version of Wind Waker last year, then giving them a game that celebrates Zelda history and allows them to finally play as characters like Zelda and Gannondorf was always a guaranteed million seller.

Post by: Ian Sane on January 27, 2015, 12:20:20 PM: Part of why I thought Hyrule Warriors would bomb is because the reputation of the Dynasty Warriors franchise is pretty poor. I figured this was Koei swindling Nintendo by getting the Zelda franchise shoehorned into their lousy series. I played it at my friend's house and it's not a bad game. Like it isn't Zelda-good, and it would get old fast if Nintendo started cranking these out annually, but the gameplay simulates being part of a large battle quite well. I was expecting it to be complete trash so I was quite surprised. Now is it Nintendo's involvement that made it a better game or has the Dynasty Warriors franchise just gotten a raw deal from reviewers all these years?

Though I do think the N64 effect does help it. It's not so amazing of a game that I think it would stand out in a large library but on the Wii U it's in the top ten for the year by default. I did a quick check of what came out last year and J.P.'s figure of seven games is not far off. I checked the top all-time list for the Wii U for 2014 on GameRankings.com. Their list defaults to a 20 review minimum and only nine Wii U games for the entire year got enough reviews to make the list.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on January 27, 2015, 12:24:12 PM: To be fair to the system, there was a pretty decent amount of quality eShop games last year, which tend not to get as many reviews as the bigger, full retail titles and wouldn't be as likely to show up with that minimum.

Probably a little of both really. I'm sure Nintendo required the game to have a certain level of polish before release, and the adventure mode thing seems like it may be something unique to this game. As far as reviews go though, it appears the main reason the games get low scores is that there are so many Warriors games and not much changes between them. So they tend to get low scores based on over-saturation, and it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with each individual game. People just get tired of them. It's a similar case as the Mario Party series.

Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on January 27, 2015, 06:16:19 PM: Remember that Mr. Aonuma oversaw the design and Zelda implementation on Hyrule Warriors for QC purposes. I'm sure he was going to make it the best he could, since Zelda has been his baby since the late 90's.

Playing Hyrule Warriors (2014) is mostly the same to my time with the first Samurai Warriors (2004) and Dynasty Warriors 4 on PC (2005). So criticisms of repetitive action and franchise staleness are still very much valid. What feels different is the speed of the sprinting (especially now that I figured that you can hold the roll button to quickly transition in to sprinting), the large boss monsters, the ridiculous reach and variety of attacks, and the weak point smash. Hyrule Warriors is still Dynasty Warriors, but everything feels faster. Also, it doesn't hurt that the game looks quite nice for a Warriors game.

Imagining reviewing every Dynasty Warriors game and spin-off, I would probably grow a certain amount of disdain for the series. But playing one every 3-5 years? It's okay.

It's nice to see Hyrule Warriors ship 1 million units. I hope we never see one again. Or even a Fire Emblem Warriors, Super Mario Warriors, or Pokemon Warriors.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Evan_B on January 27, 2015, 10:25:02 PM: It's no doubt that Zelda had a huge part in the sales of Hyrule Warriors, but it also helps that the game does feel a bit more action oriented and that the base content of the game is sizable, but not super-bogged down by a lack of progression. The first thirty or forty levels of a warrior can feel like a bit I an uphill struggle, but the game does it's best to give you plenty of options. It does feel like the fastest and most free Warriors title I've ever played, freedom mostly coming from the Adventure maps.

Much like what was said prior, Warriors titles tend to lack a great deal of variety in terms of new mechanics and a different feel. I dedicated a whole podcast to discussing the flaws and the better parts of the series, and that's the general consensus- play a warriors game every three or four years and you'll have a great time.

Yeah, I stopped playing Hyrule Warriors for this very reason. I mean the main game was fun and I was enjoying Adventure mode but it eventually reached a point where the amount of grinding I had to do to try and fully level my characters ability as well as constantly having to redo different levels on Adventure mode to get the right items so I could unlock **** on other ones got ridicules.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on January 28, 2015, 09:17:36 AM: 3DS Attach rate: 4.284

This, to me, is the most interesting stat. The Average WiiU gamer owns almost 2 more games than the Average 3DS gamer. The question is how much does Nintendo make off of Game Licensing than it makes off of Hardware Sales? I'm fairly sure 2 games would probably cover it. In essence if you only bought 1 Nintendo system it be better for Nintendo if that System was the WiiU in the long ran rather than the 3DS most likely.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on January 28, 2015, 09:34:06 AM: I think its more likely if you invested in a Wii U you want games to justify it, a 3DS, yeah there are games but chances are you have a some of them on a mobile platform also so most people are only buying the most dedicated exclusives for the handheld. Wii U also suffers from a lack of games so people tend to buy everything Nintendo puts out there in the hopes that will offset the lack everything else. eShop aside, there are only 2 1st party or Nintendo published games I know about on Wii U I don't own. I am not even dedicated to console I just got it mostly for Super Mario 3D, Captain Toad, and Spaltoon and a few others sprinkled here and there.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on January 28, 2015, 09:35:40 AM: Handhelds have historically had lower attachment rates then home consoles since handhelds generally appeal to kids and casuals more who traditionally buy less games. Even with the Wii U selling much worse then the 3DS, the userbase for the Wii U is made up of hardcore Nintendo fans who're buying more games. Same reason the Gamecube had a higher attachment rate then the GBA as well, despite there being a huge gap in sales for hardware as well.

Post by: Mop it up on January 28, 2015, 07:33:45 PM: Another point about handhelds is that the 3DS had already had several different models release, and so it is much more likely that people have purchased multiple 3DS systems than it is Wii U systems. This would skew the attach ratio somewhat, making it appear a bit smaller than it would be compared to the actual number of 3DS owners, which is a smaller number than the 3DS overall sales.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on January 29, 2015, 09:45:06 AM: part of it, as I have said countless times, is the thing is too much money for what I value a portable game console at. Even if you take it one by one, I could get a DS and a 2DS for less money than a normal 3DS but then I have to own two consoles. What if I want GBA games too then I have to own a 3DS and a GBA more money more hassle. Even putting that aside, until recently I was on a very tight budget so I had to prioritize my purchases. On top of that, as stated before, I am not a fan of portable consoles I HATE the tiny screens and if I want a larger screen on 3DS, I have to pay more money for it. The big deterrent for me, this is me any maybe others who think like me but mostly just me, is the price and the screen. Also the games might be good but I haven't owned a portable console since 2007 and I have no interest rushing out to get another one just to strain my eyes playing a game that could have released on the home console or in many cases is available on my laptop or tablet anyways.

Also the choices, what unit do I get when I do decide to get one, get the XL that was NES styled, the one I wanted, but miss out on New 3DS games or get the New 3DS but buy a charger separately? Its too much for me it should be simpler. With GBA and DS my choices were what color do I want, with GBA it was do I want an SP or a normal, with DS it was do I want a slim or a large not much to decide. With 3DS the options are too much its buyers fatigue so rather than face the headache I opt to avoid the choice altogether. Maybe the rest of the world is starting to get where I am or maybe they have moved on to larger screen tablets that can also plug into a TV, IF New 3DS plugged into a TV I would likely get it without much hesitation. I hate gaming on those tiny screens. Oh but I refuse to buy a machine that doesn't come with an A/C never have never will. So yeah that puts me in a tight spot. From the comments around the web, I am not alone.

Truth be told overcoming all that just to play a few games might be worth it if not for the tablet factor that also offers many of the same games and I have a Wii U so I am not missing too much plus I have some retro stuff on my PC that takes care of the retro stuff and I have Steam which has much of the same games that are on eshop anyways.

Many Words

It seems you're over thinking things a bit. Let me make it simple: Buy a used 3DSXL and enjoy a top 5 gaming console. And are GBA games really that big of a factor?

I seriously was considering a 3DS before they announced New 3DS and now I ain't getting either one so they likely have others who feel the way I do. I mostly have other priorities right now too but I refuse to buy any DS model right now because there are just too many on the market.

UM, the 3DS could be the greatest system ever, how can you not have one? It really is that good!

I don't have one either. Nor do I have any plans of ever getting one. I just don't enjoy playing on handhelds. That includes phones and tablets. The only exception to that is Hearthstone on my tablet (and I hardly ever play that one anyway). If I want to play games I do it on a nice size screen with good audio.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: MagicCow64 on January 29, 2015, 09:41:25 PM: It's a bit odd, I'm pretty diehard on Nintendo, but have no interest in the handhelds.

I had access to, but did not enjoy Genesis or PSX, then everything was the same aside from exclusives, then I didn't like PS2/Xbox exclusives for the most part, then had to cave and get a 360 to stay up with anything, didn't like the big games for the most part, sold 360, bought it again three years later to catch up, didn't like the big games for the most part, sold 360, got strong PC to play 3rd Party stuff, haven't liked the big 3rd Party games for the most part.

Despite not digging most non-Nintendo stuff, and playing games a lot regardless, and there being limited releases outside SNES era and the Wii's dream time, which years encompassed a multitude of exemplary/experimental (sometimes both) games, I still am not down with the handhelds, despite the fact that I know if removed from the platform I would enjoy much of the DS/3DS Nintendo library.

But I will probably never own a 3DS. I actually got a used DS late in its life cycle, and enthusiastically played through a few games, but I was doing it on the subway, which quickly made me feel like a gomer and cut too much into my reading/prep time. And I never touched it at home. Somewhat perversely, I have greatly enjoyed the WiiU's off-screen function in a variety of situations (including plugged in at airport), but I think the screen size crosses some weird internal boundary for me of what I will pay attention to while home/stationary. Small phone/game screens are inherently unpleasant to interact with for me, and I only do stuff on my phone when I am not around a computer screen. And I hate touch typing/lack of buttons, rendering tablets worthless.

I think I'm a weird plinko-ball-person outcome where my tastes have stayed roughly in sync with Nintendo's moves, surviving teenage and college years, and yet I have been and remain a customer for only half (or less) of their business.

Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on January 30, 2015, 12:08:57 PM: all the crap I said is mostly just that me overthinking it, but none of that changes I don't care for tiny screens on mobile games. Make the screen bigger, or give me TV output or no sale period. DS was the last handheld I bought, it was also the first I bought. I had a Super Game Boy and GB Player for the games on those system I wanted. I want the games on the handheld but not the handheld. Which is what frustrates me about the dual business model if every game was released on ONE platform and just scaled accordingly I wouldn't miss out on anything. I seriously hope that is the direction they go if not full on 3rd party which realistically isn't happening anytime soon.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 30, 2015, 05:35:47 PM: has there been no chatter (aka rumor) about a 3/DS player for the Wii U?

seems like something so simple to do and do get people to keep up with 3DS games even while handheld hardware sales slow down.... I guess that would take away from the upcoming 4DS announcement though. BC is a selling point afterall... even if the Wii U could use the boost now.

Post by: Ian Sane on January 30, 2015, 06:28:31 PM: I'm typically a console guy. The Super GB and GB Player are two of the best purchases I have ever made. But I really like my 3DS XL. I had a normal sized DS so I'm thinking the big screen makes a difference for me. I never really liked the DS much and I think part of it was my general dislike of having to play it on a small screen.

A 3DS player though would be an awesome product. I don't even care if has 3D since I turn that off 90% of the time anyway. And the 2DS already exists as a 3DS product without the 3D so it isn't even like the 3DS player would have to support it. But now they might as well wait for a New 3DS player.

Though how would this work for downloaded games? The GBA was pretty simple. Put the cartridge in and you're good. The 3DS is more complex. They would need to recreate the OS and let you plug your SD card into it. And once they do that you figure hackers would immediately look for some way to exploit that. If I take my game and SD card and put it in another 3DS does it work?

I'm pretty sure it came out at one point that the GameCube was technically capable of outputting 3D, though it was obviously never used, so I'm sure the Wii U can as well.

I imagine it'd work the same as it does with the 3DS now, where it's tied to the system you set it up with and another one wouldn't be able to read from it.

That would be quite a technical feat considering the new 3D Spec didn't even exist until after Game Cube was a memory. Maybe the old 3D spec but no way unless the Game Cube supported HDMI and forgot to tell me.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on January 31, 2015, 12:41:29 AM: Yeah, GameCube was designed for 3D. Luigi's Mansion in particular was a product of this design( a fact that Miyamoto pointed out when Dark Moon released). The cube was the future so long ago.

Here's a link : [size=78%]http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/98097-Nintendo-Built-3D-Into-the-Gamecube (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/98097-Nintendo-Built-3D-Into-the-Gamecube)[/size][/size][size=78%] [/size]

In terms of the WiiU, yes it could do 3D if a patch was created. It has the requisite inners to do the job. If they cut down on the OS munching up the RAM, it might be able to output 4K( with regulations of course). After doing a bit of research the Wii U is far more powerful than I/ most have given it credit for.

Since when? It was public knowledge the GameCube was a beast compared to PS2, N64 killed Playstation, Wii was the first time they made a machine that was severely underpowered but you had to know what you were doing to get to the goods. Unless you are talking about their handhelds in which case they have always been all over the place there.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on January 31, 2015, 12:32:00 PM: The GameCube was obviously better than the PS2, but it could pretty much go punch for punch with the Xbox, which looked significantly better on paper, if you knew how to use it.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on January 31, 2015, 02:14:57 PM: Just to reaffirm, the GameCube was completely capable of outputting 3D. I remember there's some GameCube game or tech demo that included 3D examples that were never used, this may have been the case with the N64 as well, I don't remember. 3D in general does not require HDMI or an HDTV (movies like My Bloody Valentine 3D do not require a 3D TV, because they use the old 2-color glasses scheme), it just requires 3D glasses and a stereoscopic image.

This is where that ever elusive Unified Nintendo Account would come in handy.

I log in, register the player to my account, and all compatible digital purchases in my account are available to download and play.
Real fukn simple. Not sure why its too difficult.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ceric on February 01, 2015, 09:32:45 AM: I doubt Nintendo would go the Gaming Tablet route. One of Nintendo's big selling point is better controls than tablets and phones. Now if they could master a way to make a screen puff up in predefined areas to become a button that would be interesting and patentable.

Something like this is cool and close to what I was thinking http://www.microsoft.com/appliedsciences/content/projects/uist.aspx but, those hard buttons would just come forth from the screen.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on February 01, 2015, 09:44:26 AM: I'm thinking the tablet will be a GamePad with retractable buttons or some other way to recess the control options.

It's not like they or too far off with the GamePad as it is. It needs about $100 more worth of tech inside and it would suffice for whatever hybrid system they come up with. Now the real interesting thing is that Sharp shapable LCD. That could have some very interesting uses. Snap in/swappable screens. Screens you physically turn to lock in stead of the clamshell design. And don't be surprised if the GameBoy makes a return in the next 2 years...how the hell did I start rambling on about this?

Not hard. Instead of a clamshell design on the unit you have a clamshell controls.

Nintendo needs to keep this franchise in their stable at all costs. I have to wonder if making it a console exclusive could have been a bigger help for the Wii U over there. Dragon Quest was Wii/Wii U exclusive so it is possible.

I'm going to hope that #5 releases for the Nintendo hybrid system down the road.

Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on February 15, 2015, 12:43:46 PM: I am actually considering getting an Xbox One. What would put me over the top is 360 B/C because there are quite a few 360 games I realized that aren't on PS3 that I might pick up on the cheap but I also just started getting serious about Wii gaming again, you know what I discovered about Wii, it sucks as a hard core gamer machine no denying that it sucks as a traditional gaming console, no denying that, but it is AWESOME as a reetro machine, not just the Virtual Console and the B/C with GameCube but damn it had some really good retro style games and I think could be credited withmaking retro cool. Anyways I never noticed how many retro themed games it had I was too busy noticing all the games it didn't have. Put me in the camp of people who would have enjoyed Wii a lot more if I had even known about half the games it had I didn't know about. I guess the same old complaint Nintendo's marketing sucks as usual.

Post by: Ymeegod on March 06, 2015, 07:38:14 AM: Valkyria Chronicles (PC) selling 200K makes me happy. I really wish Sega would port VC3 at some point in time.

When Steam first started I figured it was the killing blow for the PC but in a lot of ways it's what saved the PC. Now with both Sony/MS systems being x86 based porting games over is easy as pie.

The Wii U is having a bit of a rough start for first quarter in japan but an new Mario Party game is due out next week so I'm expecting some decent WII U numbers.

Yeah, I'd say that's a lock. Ironic because the PS4 seems much more designed for the Western market while the Wii U seems more catered to the Japanese.

Wii U sales so far in 2015 are 20% higher than the first two months of 2014. Not something to be too celebratory of.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U has Lifetime-to-Date sales of 1.5 million. amiibo has an LTD of 3.5 million.

Majora's Mask 3D is the fastest selling Zelda handheld game at 515k. Makes one wonder about A Link Between Worlds.

*shrugs*

It's the New 3DS' launch month. It's not surprising that Nintendo managed to fool enough people into buying an incremental upgrade that it put it at the #1 hardware seller for the month. Next month, it will probably drop off again. Meanwhile, Sony's still doing well with the PS4, so "good" on the console front.

As for the NPD Top 10, as a fan of the original Majora's Mask, it's nice to see the dumbed-down version selling well. That game never got the recognition it deserved on the N64. I'm a little disappointed, though not surprised, to see The Order underperformed. I predicted it would at the beginning of the year. I'm really annoyed to see this year's incarnation of Titanfall (Evolve: a multiplayer-only online shooter) sold well, though.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on March 13, 2015, 09:59:14 PM: I just have to ask, what does the 3DS doing good have to do with the Wii U? How is that going to help Wii U at all? I mean good for Nintendo sure because it means more money for them but in the battle between PS4 and Wii U what does the 3DS doing well matter?

Handhelds are an entirely different market their sales should be tracked separately so the charts should be broken down into two different markets. In that scenario 3DS didn't sell better than PS4 because it wasn't competing with PS4, which it isn't.

In the console space 3DS, Vita, 2DS, New 3DS they have no relevance whatsoever. In video games as a whole how can you talk sales and not include tablets and PC's and mobile phones while we are at it?

Dude, this is the official sales thread. There is no sales thread in the handheld forum. So sales of all systems are discussed here and are compared whatever way anyone wants. If you want to start a handheld sales thread in the handheld forum and try to maintain it yourself, have fun.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on March 18, 2015, 11:39:45 PM: Because they are not the same. Whenever someone says Wii U doesn't have enough games someone else always replies with a list of damn 3DS games. I get it some people own both but they are two entirely different products selling to an entirely different audience.

I am not going to start a new thread, nobody would read it if I did why bother? I don't care if the charts are lumped together but how does pointing out the success of 3DS have anything to do with PS4 sales? We were talking about PS4 beating Wii U and a comment was made about how 3DS is the top selling hardware like that had anything to do with the conversation. It always happens too its not just a one off event. This thread is in the CONSOLE discussion anyways I could throw it back at you and say move it to the general gaming forum if you want to get technical. Handhelds are *not* consoles that is why they have their own thread.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on March 19, 2015, 12:04:48 AM: There are several threads that apply to both handhelds and consoles that are in Console Discussion for varying reasons. It doesn't really make sense to have multiple sales threads, which as some other things have shown would probably just result in a lot of redundancy and confusion.

I wasn't being serious.
About any of it or just making a thread in general gaming?

And handhelds are dedicated gaming hardware. That is why they are lumped together with home consoles which are also dedicated gaming hardware. Nintendo will probably do a press release touting the 3DS as the highest selling console for the month of February at some point. Sony or Microsoft will tout their system as the highest selling HOME console at some point as well for the month.

Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on March 19, 2015, 08:17:59 PM: about splitting the threads. Most of what I was saying was just frustration at constantly being told about 3DS games when ever I complain there isn't anything on Wii U as if that has anything to do with it. To me they are different consoles or different platforms and I just get tired of those replies. This wasn't exactly the same thing but it was close enough it struck a nerve is all.

Ian, Broodwars! Come on in and offer your congratulations!

This guy! I don't remember a single anything he's ever said that didn't make me laugh!

I know I'm late but is anyone else really happy that Majoras Mask has finally gotten it's dues? Is that the right expression? MM was the black sheep forever and then somewhere down the line it seemed like everyone loved it. Very happy it started off much stronger than OoT and ALBW(though I have mixed feelings about that one).

Makes you wonder, with all the Gamecube praise I see just about everywhere maybe Nintendo should just rerelease that system next gen.

Seriously though, no one bought F-Zero GX when they had the chance but now everyone begs for either it or a brand new game. I think a remake is in order so people can put their monkey where their mouth is. I feel like the game is legendary at this point and would guarantee sales. Well on 3DS anyway but I want it on Wii U.

Well, let's see how this shakes out before we jump to conclusions here. Japan's still the dominion of handhelds, and I see a lot of "NEW"s in that list (including several from major franchises) so I'm going to wait to see how this turns out long-term before declaring that Sony's finally turning things around in Japan.

For the sake of the Japanese gaming industry that abandoned the console market years ago, I hope the PS4 DOES turn things around in Japan. I WANT to see a revitalized Japanese development scene after that market completely collapsed last generation. I've just seen this little dance play out several times in the past few years: temporary bump, followed by severe slide as the same old 2-3 handheld franchises dominate the charts. And meanwhile, another Japanese developer jumps ship to join the mobile scene.

The PS4 is dominating worldwide. There's no disputing that. However, for the PS4 to really turn things around in Japan, it would have to explode in a way we haven't seen in Japan since the PS2 days because that is the only way all these Japanese developers will come back. I just don't see that happening. The sales have been too soft.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread

Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on March 26, 2015, 02:32:00 AM: but that is not new, nor is it Japan, hand helds have out sold consoles for a long time now.

Game Boy outsold SNES, N64 and Game Cube COMBINED, as did GBA and DS EACH. That is not a new phenomenon they are different markets filling different needs that is not proof that console gamers have switched to hand helds it just means that the last generation was lack luster all around, nothing more.

I just don't see that happening. The sales have been too soft.

I haven't even thought of this possibility. It would actually be really great if the PS4 could revitalize consoles in Japan.

It makes me think of an odd possibility. What if consoles "dying" in Japan last gen was not because Japan no longer likes consoles but simply because there was no console that fit what they wanted? The Xbox 360 is Western so it was a no go in Japan anyway. The Wii was very non-traditional. The PS3 is Sony's console misstep and was too expensive. From the Famicom through to the PS2 there was always a no-brainer console for Japan to embrace until last gen. So what if they like consoles fine but just didn't like last gen's consoles and thus a large amount of traditional console customers went to the handhelds because that was closer to what they wanted than the actual consoles were? What if now that Japan has a console that fits their tastes again with the PS4 consoles are slowly making a comeback?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on March 26, 2015, 01:12:00 PM: I have kind of been thinking the same thing as Ian because it just seems like last gen was lousy and hey what a surprise PS2 was still selling up till 2013, so maybe that shows there was a hunger for consoles but just not what was being offered. Plus PSP was pretty much the real successor to PS2 in many respects just like DS and now 3DS are better alternatives in many respects to their console counterparts. Sure it is a waiting game but right now the signs are pointing to a revival of consoles not a bleak future as has been predicted.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on March 26, 2015, 03:43:12 PM: The PS4 is selling the way it is now because it finally has games the Japanese are interested in release in the last few months. The PS3 still sold over 10 million systems in Japan so it's not like the Japanese home console market is completely non existent. Last year the system was selling worse then the Wii U after it's launch because it had nothing to make those PS3 owner upgrade, until these last few months which have seen a steady supply of every week include big titles like Dragon Quest Heroes.

Basically, if you're a Japanese Playstation fan who's had any interest in the system, these last several months have been the perfect time to finally buy one. Similar to how the Wii U actually got a huge boast during holiday 2013 when Nintendo bundled NSMB U with the system around the time of Mario 3D Worlds launch, which caused all the remaining Mario fans that didn't buy the system at launch to go get it. This is why Mario Kart 8 didn't do much to boast sales when it came out in Japan, or Mario Party 10 hasn't either since all the Mario fans either bought the Wii U at launch or waited until the NSMB bundles around 3D Worlds launch.

What's happening right now with the PS4 is very similar where the Playstation fans who didn't buy it at launch are now finally making the plunge but that will change since after Bloodborne this week, the PS4's lineup slows down until Meta Gear in September. The sales will get back into the 10k range this Summer and won't rise again until Metal Gear Solid V's release. Of course even that might not boast sales very much since the people interested in the upcoming major PS4 titles in Japan could easily all be getting one right now since it's the right time, leaving not as many to jump in when those games hit.

“The New Nintendo 3DS XL system continues to inject growth into Nintendo’s hand-held business, and the momentum created for Wii U in 2014 has carried over into 2015,” reads a Nintendo statement. “Take these two elements, add in fun, exclusive titles starring some of the biggest names in gaming, and overall sales of Nintendo hardware systems so far in 2015 have increased by nearly 60 percent over sales during the same time frame in 2014.”

Specifically, Nintendo said the 3DS hardware sales in 2015 have increased by 80 percent. Wii U’s hardware numbers have increased by more than 20 percent over the first three months of 2015 compared to the same period last year.

Does Mario Party really deserve a spot in the top 10?

Probably not that Mario Party, at least.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: broodwars on April 17, 2015, 03:11:05 AM: For me, the big stories of this NPD are the 2nd & 10th slot. Bloodborne pretty much exceeded everyone's expectations, considering how previous Souls games have sold. As for Type 0 HD, considering how well we know Mario Party 10 sold, Square-Enix has to be looking at that game as a bomb now, despite the FF 15 demo. And, frankly, having beaten that game, I can't feel too sad that it bombed.

As for the #1 slot, Battlefield is Battlefield. I liked the SP game in Hardline, but that MP does draw audiences.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Evan_B on April 17, 2015, 05:28:34 AM: I think Bloodborne's sales are a result of shameless pandering journalism to make it appear as of the game is more accessible to a wider audience (it is though, so they got that right) and PS4 owners desperate for a release.

Meanwhile, Code Name Steam bombed because journalists thought it was too hard. I suppose action RPGs are more casual than TPSRPGs.

Well according to the NPD leaker on Neo Gaf, the Amiibo bundle made up 47% of all retail sales.

See in theory Bloodborne's success makes sense to me. We're in an era where videogames have been accused of being easier and easier so I would expect a certain pushback on that trend. Things tend to work in extremes so if you feel games are getting too easy you're going to be attracted to a really difficult game. But then Code Name: Steam doesn't have the same success. I think it might just be that there are different expectations for handhelds or possibly Nintendo themselves; Nintendo games are not usually very hard.

Though look at Intelligent Systems last big hit: Fire Emblem Awakening. It's the accessible Fire Emblem. The game that made permadeath optional and gained a big audience with those that liked strategy RPGs but were turned off by that requirement. So IS follows up a more accessible title with a really difficult one? That's not what the new Fire Emblem fans would be looking for.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: broodwars on April 17, 2015, 04:51:36 PM: I don't think it helped Codename STEAM's case that it wasn't very good, either. It's certainly nowhere near Awakening's tier. I wonder how the sales would have fared if Nintendo hadn't released the game broken, without the fast forward option for enemy turns. That one flaw might have single-handedly killed that game, because it shows up in EVERY review.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: ShyGuy on April 17, 2015, 07:23:23 PM: I think the fast forward was left out partly for technical reasons. I read the New 3DS can fast forward at 3X, but the original 3DS can only fast forward at 2X.

Yes, but if they could do it now, it could have been part of the game's original development. Given just how poorly the game sold (according to GAF), I'd say it definitely could've made a difference in sales.

I wasn't aware you played the game. I'd love to hear your thoughts sometime.

If people can take the enemy turns in XCOM, I feel try should be able to bear enemy turns in STEAM. Also Ian, I'm not sure what you're trying to imply- that video game enthusiasts want challenge or that they can't handle it. Bloodborne isn't the shining example of difficulty known from the series, and I'm pretty sure the majority of people that were new to Fire Emblem did not play the game on its normal settings.

It's OK. There's too much utter B.S. in the design (the sniping birds with the instant-stun rounds come to mind) for me to really get into it, though.

I'm saying that as games have gotten easier overall, there is a target market that specifically wants the exact opposite, at the very least to get an alternative to the norm. If you feel games have gotten too easy here is a game to give a try. I think that's why the Souls series overall has increased in popularity. In an era where games will be designed for you to pay to succeed in it, here is a game that requires legitimate skill. It's like how pop rules the airwaves but metal has a big fanbase because it appeals to those that want something more extreme than the mainstream.

There's still been no word on Bravely Second releasing in NA, is there? I've got a bad feeling about it...
I wouldn't be so worried since the first game was a success and reported as such.

It is quite possible that we will be waiting for and getting the upgraded International Version or For The Sequel of Bravely Second.

Post by: Ymeegod on April 30, 2015, 08:30:21 AM: I never could figure out why certain regions get different price points but Splatoon is selling in Japan at 5250 yen ($42) but it's retailing in the US at $60? Has Nintendo set the price on Splatoon for NA or is that just the suggestion retail pricing?

Post by: Mop it up on April 30, 2015, 05:53:38 PM: Square just seems weird lately, so it's tough to tell what might happen. Like how they didn't release Dragon Quest VII for 3DS despite the success of IX, and plus RPGs still seem popular enough on the 3DS.

Post by: Ian Sane on April 30, 2015, 07:40:14 PM: I already got jerked out of Fantasy Life 2 so if I get jerked out of Bravely Second as well I'm going to be pissed. It damn well better get released here.

The sad thing is that it was successful, apparently surprisingly so for Square Enix, so that should make it cut and dry, right? It's not a mobile game like Fantasy Life 2, it is a 3DS game and the first one was successful here so why wouldn't they localize it? The only problem is that Japanese videogame companies all went crazy around 2007 or so so now we can't rely on the rational decision to be made.

That's the only reason we're even the least bit worried right? Because Square Enix is run by crazies? Ten years ago I wouldn't even second guess anything. The first game was a hit and they're making a sequel? Well of course we're getting it.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: broodwars on April 30, 2015, 08:01:42 PM: I think the issue is less that Square-Enix is crazy so much as the entire Japanese gaming industry has spent the last 2-3 years trampling over each other to flee the video game industry and find "safe haven" in the mobile market. It seems like every Japanese developer except Atlus & Platinum have already made moves or outright stated their intention to leave the market.

Square-Enix has already made it clear in their last investor meeting that they intend to do as little publishing in NA as possible, with the focus on other companies shouldering their financial burden. Bravely Default was a modest (but not an overwhelming) success in NA because Nintendo of America published it. The only way you'll see Bravely Default 2 in NA is if Nintendo of America once again shoulders the financial burden of localization and distribution.

Such a downer. Though there's no other way to be when Nintendo tracks the console at shy of 13 million as it's a few months older than 3 years.

Scary food for thought: How they managed the Wii U is their best effort.

Well, best effort without blowing their bank, making riskier bets, and having more overhead.

I don't buy that. Sure, they're at a disadvantage because of those factors, but if they actually involved third parties in the process of developing a system and didn't wait until right before the competitors released their successors to launch it they could certainly do better than they did with Wii U.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Soren on May 07, 2015, 07:41:51 PM: Bingo. In a vacuum, this was one of the Nintendo's best efforts. The amount of high quality software produced by Nintendo and its partners is enough to rival previous consoles. In two years we got so many games from so many franchises and IPs. There just wasn't enough care put into third parties.

I think there was a fair bit of hubris in the Wii U. I think they figured it was similar enough to the Wii formula that the gravy train would just keep rolling. The whole thing felt rather half-assed to me. Even if you like the approach of outdated hardware and wacky controllers I don't feel Nintendo made a very good effort with it. They can do better.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on May 07, 2015, 10:05:49 PM: At least on the bright side for Nintendo, the Wii U shows they were able to keep their hardcore fanbase still intact. Right now the best selling Wii U game is at 5.1 million copies, while the Gamecube's best selling game did 7.4 million. Considering the huge attachment rate Mario Kart 8 continues to have, there's a good chance it's going to either match or surpass Melee when it's all said and done, despite Wii U being millions of units behind at best.

Actually if we go even farther.

Gamecubes Top 5 best sellers.

Smash Bros Melee: 7.4 million
Mario Kart: Double Dash: 6.9 million
Sunshine: 5.9 million
Wind Waker: 4.4 million
Luigi's Mansion: 3.3 million

As of March 31st, 2015 the Wii U's Top 5.

Mario Kart 8: 5.1 million
NSMB U: 4.8 million
Nintendo Land: 4.7 million
Mario 3D World: 4.1 million
Smash Bros: 3.7 million

So despite hardware sales being much lower, the top sellers are on track to reaching or surpassing their Gamecube counterparts. So basically Nintendo's hardcore fanbase has still remained the same since the Gamecube era, it's just everyone else who might have bought the system for non-Nintendo games has left. Which makes since considering Nintendo's literally the only one publishing anything for it.

I think Wonderful 101, Bayonetta 2, and Devil's Third is the Wii U equivalent to the Gamecube's Capcom 5.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on May 07, 2015, 11:42:20 PM: Those sales are horrible, no matter how you look at it, but just crushingly bad compared to the Wii. Mario Kart Wii sold over 35 million copies. New Super Mario Bros Wii has sold about 30 million. It sucks, but Nintendo really fucked up with the Wii U. That doesn't mean that the console isn't fun, and that the games are no good, just that no one is buying them. I'm surprised Smash Bros. has done so poorly, but I guess the 3DS version probably hurt the Wii U version's sales.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on May 08, 2015, 12:16:45 AM: You're right, but at the same time sales numbers of just about anything look bad compared to those Wii numbers. 10 years ago the best selling non pack-in ever was Mario 3 at about 19 million, and Nintendo just obliterated that with the DS and Wii.

Xenoblade X
Star Fox
Devils 3rd
Fatal Frame
Yoshi Yarn
Lego Game 654

From your lips to Gods ears. Fair point my friend but I expect no miracles while walking amongst these new mortals.

Mario Maker has a confirmed (post Zelda delay announcement) release date of September so that isn't the holiday title. My guess would be the ol' JRPG 1 2 of Xenoblade for the West and #FE for the East. Or it could be Iwata's teased unannounced game to be released in the fiscal year ending March 2016.

I'd imagine a new Animal Crossing would be the big game they release in Japan this holiday since that's the biggest Nintendo franchise in Japan that had a Wii game but hasn't had any Wii U version yet. Plus it makes sense considering the Animal Crossing team hasn't made a game since New Leaf which was first released Fall 2012 in Japan. There was a 3 year gap between Wild World and City Folk last gen so a 3 year gap between New Leaf and Wii U wouldn't be that surprising.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: TOPHATANT123 on May 10, 2015, 01:29:05 PM: Animal Crossing is a safe bet since we've already seen the character models in that peculiar plaza application, and New Leaf is on something like 9 million sales so they'd be crazy not to do a Wii U installment.

But Splatoon is Super Mario Sunshine 2 in the "Failed Mario" timeline.
Am I the only one who thought this was funny?

I've heard people make the connection and say they want a Mario-mode, but this is the first I've heard of or seen the actual timeline, obviously mocking Zelda's messed up split. Jebus, I am living in the past.

Puzzle and Dragon: Super Mario Bros. Edition keeps the top spot as a sleepy Golden Week passes. For those despairing over the the Xenoblade X numbers, a forum user in the NeoGaf thread notes that Xenoblade X sold through ~70% of its shipment the previous week (i.e. launch week). That's a bit of silver lining.

Yeah but I liked 3D World which is more like 3D Land than Galaxy is, which, as has been stated in the past, feels like the awkward love child of the collect-a-thon and 3D Land mindsets.

Jeez, you bring up one unpopular opinion and people get so sensitive. Their favorite game is so sacred.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: broodwars on May 13, 2015, 10:27:38 PM: Honestly, I'm not the biggest fan of the Galaxy games, either, especially the first one. They went away from the more open-ended exploration-focused design of Mario 64 to embrace a tedious linear-style design, where you could pursue only 1 star at a time & you'd have to exit out & restart if anything else in the level interested you. The idea was to make the lazy casuals that only like the linear 2D Marios love 3D Mario instead, and I can see the appeal but it just wasn't for me. The unresponsive waggle controls didn't help matters, either. At least Galaxy 2 had Yoshi, and he worked out alright.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Nile Boogie Returns on May 13, 2015, 11:06:37 PM: I didn't know there were other opinions about the Galaxy games, honestly. I thought it was universally praised as one of, if not the greatest game of all time. Not saying its everyones GOAT but at least top 10. Learn something new every day.

And I would buy thee heck outta a "Mushroom Kingdom Continuum". Make all the games into one long ass manga series.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Evan_B on May 13, 2015, 11:35:01 PM: Super Mario Galaxy is a well-made game. It is inventive in art style and scope. But it's hub world is terrible, lots of level design is hit-and-miss, and it limits what was arguably the best 3D platformer moveset of all time (I'm talking about Sunshine, and this point is opinion but the fact that the moveset was deepest and most varied in this game is irrefutable).

Also, the Luigi stars are bullshit.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on May 14, 2015, 12:53:41 PM: Oddly enough the first Galaxy didn't do it for me that much but the second one really clicked. Then I went back to the first and had a blast with it. I guess when the first came out I wasn't in the right mood for it or something. Part of why I liked it was that I didn't like Sunshine all that much and the N64-era style of platforming was pretty played out. Now Nintendo has never gone back to it so I miss it but at the time it felt like the genre had gotten stale and needed a new take which Galaxy provided.

But the game is flawed. The motion control is a joke and a re-release with that stupid shake mapped to a button would be great. Each game has some weird motion controlled level (bird in one, some marine creature in the other) that is unplayable garbage. And the star bits felt very weird and forced, like Nintendo really needed to "prove" the value of the controller so they came up with this rather unnecessary idea. It's an amazing game but also demonstrated to me how limited the Wii controller really was. The game could easily have been done on the Gamecube... so why did I have to buy this new console for star bits and a button press mapped to an inaccurate shake that goes off at the worst time?

No game is universally loved. Some are just so generally well liked that it's rare to come across someone that doesn't like them. And while I feel Galaxy isn't perfect it is still easily in my top five Wii games.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on May 14, 2015, 03:10:05 PM: Also, some people will hype up the "hate" of a beloved game if they feel a different title was superior like Mario World vs Mario 3, Link to the Past vs Ocarina of time.

It is, but there are always exceptions that prove the rule.

Japan is a squid kid now as Splatoon takes the top spot amid reports of the games stores selling out of the game. Not bad for an unfinished game! The latest Hatsune Miku game for 3DS sells softly as it is merely a compilation of the two 3DS games that came before it. The Witcher 3 sticks around at 3rd, selling well in its second week. Mario Kart 8 crosses the million mark.

I think it cracks the Top 10, but hovers around the low-end. #7 or #8 sounds about right unless the Amiibo insanity boosted it higher to around #5. Witcher 3 probably has the #1 spot in the bag, and there's just too many multiplatform games for Splatoon to chart much higher.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: ymeegod on June 04, 2015, 12:25:19 PM: I think it'll chart well in the US. Other than Witcher 3 and Puzzles and Dragon's, most of the stuff in May were re-releases like Borderlands GOTY, Shadows of Modor.

As for Japan sales, they were a bit higher than I figures but that could be do to "price factor" as well. But as it stands now it's first week sales has it 3rd highest for the WII U behind MK8 and SSB if you don't count launch titles. That means it's selling better than Pikmin 3, Donkey Kong, Xenoblade, Zelda, ect which is quite a big deal IMO for Nintendo.

If sales maintain "ever-green" like most Nintendo titles this might break 2+ million mark WW by year end which isn't to bad for a new IP.

When I first saw Splatoon I thought the graphic style and paint gimmick was all to make something family friendly but I now think the real plan was to make it appeal to Japan.

Though I think to an American audience it does come across as more of kid-friendly design which may not go over as well since we're used to our shooters having guns and death. And kids here think stuff like Call of Duty is cool. Of course if Nintendo was throwing away Western appeal to make something fly in Japan, despite it's clearly smaller market size, it wouldn't be the first time.

It would be nice if Nintendo interpreted this to mean that there is interest in new Nintendo IP. Not every new IP is going to stick but things will just stagnate with the same old franchises. Oh and EAD made this game. So often Nintendo has their more niche teams try out new stuff and it doesn't stick. But EAD made Pikmin, the Wii Series and now this. When they branch outside of Mario and Zelda it usually works out pretty good. EAD is the straw that stirs Nintendo's drink. Anytime I say I want Nintendo to make more new IP I'm talking about EAD, not some third tier team making some niche game that never gets localized.

Though some quick research reveals that Steel Diver was an EAD project. Well, I guess they're not perfect.

Japan status: Still a squid and a kid. Also, a rare week of Wii U sales increasing after the release of a big game. Stella Glow debuts with 13k copies sold. Stella Glow seems to be another JRPG for the 3DS, but it has gained notoriety due to developer Imageepoch having their CEO disappear and filing for bankruptcy.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on June 11, 2015, 11:46:43 PM: That's with a year head start and a console that sells in Japan. Xbone not selling in Japan isn't a good excuse though, but the point is Sony and Microsoft are competing with each other, and that's about it. Sure you can say since Wii U is a console that it's competing, but there is never (okay very close to never) a decision for someone to choose between buying a Wii U, a PS4 or an Xbone, it's between buying a PS4 or an Xbone and buying a Wii U or not buying a Wii U. Look at every game in that top 10 that isn't Splatoon or Smash Bros - none of them are on Wii U at all.

I love Nintendo and the Wii U, but let's not pretend like it's a competitor anymore.

Pet peeve: I don't like it when Nintendo people or anyone else say or imply that Nintendo platforms are not in direct or indirect competition with other platform holders. Reggie slides in to this often, but usually shifts it to the notion that every other from of entertainment is their competitor (which is correct). Nintendo is a competitor and is in a extremely low position.

. . . now I feel like a jerk for getting hung up over semantics and connotations.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Evan_B on June 12, 2015, 12:55:01 AM: I'd say the fact that the xBone and PS4 compete at all means they are far too similar. Sure, both systems have multiplatform games, but only a handful of them are good and available on PC with better optimization.

Of course, actually having multiplatform games is better than nothing, so they have Nintendo beat there. But at least the Wii U has unique content and hey, landing in the middle of the top ten after the last week of the month while not being multiplatform is impressive in its own right.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on June 12, 2015, 01:02:47 AM: Well Nintendo really isn't a competitor with them since the types of games that sell on each system are completely different. All the top sellers on Xbone/PS4 are mature FPS, Open World or Sports games while the top sellers on the Wii U are Mario and other family friendly titles. This is the reason the only third party games Nintendo gets are family oriented games because these games actually sell better on the Wii U then PS4/One.

The average 18-34 males gamer who Microsoft and Sony are spending most of their money trying to court don't care about Nintendo and never will, which is why Nintendo isn't exactly going out of their way to appeal to them. Smartphones and the 3DS are the Wii U's biggest competitors since those are what actually appeals to the audience that might want one by offering them much cheaper alternatives.

Nintendo does what they do, but Sony and Microsoft try too hard to outdo each other and it feels pretty same-y. Though Sony does have a healthy amount of Japanese titles, that's likely not the audience they're capitalizing on.

Post by: NWR_insanolord on June 12, 2015, 10:21:01 AM: It probably did sell a lot in Europe, given the popularity of the genre there, but I'd say it's also pretty likely that a lot of the sales it got were digital downloads, which wouldn't show up in the NPDs.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on June 12, 2015, 08:11:05 PM: The pie factory reported that Cars was within shouting distance of FFX/X-2 PS4 (the HD remake of an HD remake) at roughly 60k. Between PC and Europe, that's probably your difference.

Post by: Ymeegod on June 17, 2015, 02:19:57 PM: Splatoon numbers are just insane :(). Japanese gamers tend to avoid shooters like the plague but this one might hit the 1/2 million mark.

Wonder what the NA sales are, Nintendo has a quarterly report due in a few days so we might actual get those numbers for MAY.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on June 17, 2015, 06:24:30 PM: 136k in the two days of May. We'll probably get the 1m shipped notice at the quarterly report at the end of July.

Recent Call of Duty and Battlefield games regularly sale for 100k.

Resident Evil 5 and 6 were million sellers.

Judging by abundance of japanese names in online population, western sales aren't that good.

I really wanted Fire Emblem to bomb due to that "pay" per arc crap they are pulling. Also Nintendo only printed a very small amount of special editions (they were sold out weeks ago).

Capcom was called all kinds of names with Street Fighter X Tekken but it looks like Disc locked content is going become more of a norm now.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on July 01, 2015, 12:46:43 PM: White/Black arcs are on the same cart/physical download (files sizes are the same), not sure about the 3rd Arc since it's not available yet.

Not sure why Media Create combined the two versions. Would loved to see how split the two versions were. Special Edition comes with all three arcs.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Oedo on July 01, 2015, 01:24:39 PM: It seems kinda weird to me that the default reaction for a lot of people is "I hope this thing bombs" rather than "I hope there's enough content to justify releasing the game this way." If the game bombs in the West (I never thought this would make a significantly negative impact in Japan), that doesn't really accomplish anything other than possibly jeopardizing the series' future here. That's in no way a good thing. If there's two (or three) games worth of content, everybody's happy. Like I said, kinda weird that some people are hoping for the former and not the latter.

I'd get it if it was something super egregious, but I've heard nary a whisper about either version feeling short since it came out. Granted, it's only been a week, but if people are already starting fan translations, I'm sure plenty have gotten through the game(s) as well.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Enner on July 01, 2015, 04:53:31 PM: The third arc is set to be released in the middle of July as a download. Cynically, a ploy to discourage used game sales.

I find it odd to want a game to bomb due to an ambitious and questionable offering and pricing structure. At least to say it before it is known how much is at what price. Then again, I never want to be so precious over a game or game series in such a way. If it's over the principle of the matter, then I just want to leave.

Good job to Fire Emblem if. Hope you're worth it.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on July 02, 2015, 08:03:24 PM: Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn cinched Fire Emblem as a portable series going forward. The Wii U could've been the second coming of the PS2 and it still wouldn't be touching consoles with a 39.5 foot pole.

---

We got some numbers from another Japanese tracker (Dengeki) who tracked individual version sales: Roughly 59-41 in favour of Birthright/White version.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ninferno on July 03, 2015, 02:43:53 AM: Interesting to see that sales number split between the 2 versions; I myself will still go with the conquest version but according to some Japanese gaming friends of mine the conquest storyline is the weaker of the two. They said at the time you were asked to choose path, there is really little reason for you to side with the Black Kingdom in which the story afterwards just doesn’t “feel right”. If that is true it surely is disappointing.
That aside, I too find the “hope it bombs” mentality mind-boggling. The hostility towards this game seems to be mainly associated with 2 issues. The main one is of course the two-version thing, and I have to say the unfair/incorrect/misleading analogy to Pokémon is really stirring a great deal of uninformed hate. No one is forcing anyone to buy both versions, remember? If you don’t find the two versions different enough, why not just buy one? You don’t lose much in that case. If you consider the two versions to be different enough and you really must experience both, you buy the DLC for the other path and you basically pay for about 1.5 games and get 2. Both versions can get everything the other version has by DLC (again, if you feel the need to), there’s absolutely no practical reason to “get tricked by Nintendo/IS and pay $40 * 2”. It is NOTHING like Pokémon. Don’t get me wrong, I myself don’t like the two-version strategy either; I’m just saying it doesn’t deserve that much hate as it is not an unfair value proposition in any case.
Then there are also the overly amine and otaku (which is by the way, started by Awakening) features and content. I too dislike them but as long as they are kept optional or do not affect game play, I’m going to ignore them like they don’t even exist. I just don’t see the “I don’t like the direction this franchise is heading” as a reason to hope FE Fates to bomb. The bottom line is: don’t like the game? Don’t buy it. There is no need to hope it bomb so that the 300k or so people who are actually willing to buy it don’t get to enjoy it.
That said, I will now present you what you actually should be angry or sad upon. Firstly, as more info emerges, it is getting clearer that the 3^rd path DLC is likely going to be what I feared, the “best ending” where you don’t have to make the “difficult choice” of which of 2 camps to slaughter, but rather, unite them to fight the “true evil”, making the 2 existing paths pretty much pointless story-wise. Great.
Secondly, to me, great sales number for Fates spells death for any future console installments of the franchise. I have played every single entry of the FE franchise and I love all of them. However, I have to say the console installments generally have way higher production values than the handheld counterparts; it will be sad to see them go because they have way lower sales. I still won’t hope FE Fates to bomb just because of this though.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Evan_B on July 03, 2015, 09:55:28 AM: The overt-anime stylings started with Awakening, true, and I found them annoying and unbearable there too. A series that used to have somewhat decent characters that felt a little bit less centered around one character trait was a nice thing for a strategy game.

This goes to ridiculous lengths, however, as the characters are even separated into more stereotypical archetypes.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on July 03, 2015, 01:31:03 PM: Welcome to our forums, Ninferno!

I agree this should not be compared to Pokemon versions. Those ultimately were the same game, just with different monsters available. I would hope these games also have different plots, options, items, and characters (we know there will be different characters).

I hope the 3rd arc is more than a "true ending". I like the idea of allowing you to refuse both sides, strike out on your own, and have opportunities to recruit characters from both sides as you build your own dynasty. More of a "choose your own adventures" style game.

As a lover of the medium, I would really appreciate to not throw anime under the bus because of poor video game writing that has produced stereotypical and one-dimensional characters.

As someone who also watches a lot of anime, I can't say anime typically fares much better, especially as the industry has veered increasingly towards moe & otaku pandering. Stereotypes & 1D characters abound. You get your quality shows from time to time, but I've found the shows released in the last 5 years to be substantially inferior to those produced in the 2000s & 1990s. But this is, of course, a discussion for another thread.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Evan_B on July 07, 2015, 02:56:46 AM: I second that, having watched a lot of anime myself. I'm speaking from personal experience in terms of more popular and contemporary shows.

Fire Emblem Fates stays up top in an uneventful week of releases.

Quote from: broodwars on July 04, 2015, 09:37:03 AM
As someone who also watches a lot of anime, I can't say anime typically fares much better, especially as the industry has veered increasingly towards moe & otaku pandering. Stereotypes & 1D characters abound. You get your quality shows from time to time, but I've found the shows released in the last 5 years to be substantially inferior to those produced in the 2000s & 1990s. But this is, of course, a discussion for another thread.
Quote from: Evan_B on July 07, 2015, 02:56:46 AM
I second that, having watched a lot of anime myself. I'm speaking from personal experience in terms of more popular and contemporary shows.

Reading back, I shouldn't have singled out video game writing when I meant writing in general.

I believe that Sturgeon's Revelation applies to anime evenly over the years. The trends may change and might not be to your tastes, but the quality has remained consistent. Granted, you might have to deal outside your wheel house to find that quality.

I disagree with the statement that shows from the 90s and 00s, but I have little to back up my disagreement as my experience with shows from the respective decades is spotty. Also, I heavily associate the mid-00s as the deepest point of the moe hell hole. Granted, we traded blatant moe girls shows with adaptions of questionable light novels with moe girls, but at least the light novels try to tell some sort of serialized story (this is what I tell myself at night).

To accurately argue my disagreement would probably mean dueling lists of TV shows, OVAs, and movies, and that sounds fucking unbearable. For me, I have watched quite a few shows that I love or really enjoy in the 2010s so far, so that's my emotional truth. Then again, I have indulged heavily in what could be considered the most popular, pandering, and male-otaku oriented franchises. I could be part of the problem.

Indeed it would be, especially when my list would include some of the best animated television shows ever made while yours would be...well...the kind of titles that Japanese companies used to have to bundle with worthwhile shows in contracts to force Western publishers to release them in NA. ;)

Honestly, there are good shows released every year, but they feel fewer & further between these days, harder to notice, and certainly don't seem to excite people like they used to.

Post by: Enner on July 09, 2015, 06:28:38 PM: Ceric: Oh, a spar on record? Heavens no! I don't have the heart for a heated argument. Or maybe I greatly fear I will become a terrible internet person if I do so.

broodwars: Previous comments triggered a knee jerk reaction that rejects the notion of "the good 'ole days", "the long-past golden times", "they don't make them like they used to", or any myriad of sentiments that the quality of an artistic medium has categorically declined. I believe (or want to believe) that the quality is there if you search for it or expand your horizons.

Conversely, I have to admit that certain trends or aspects that served as gateways to an art form may have declined or been replaced. In video games, difficult platforming challenges giving way to cleverly-placed collectibles. In anime, potentially rich adult characters being replaced by infantilized school children.

As for the lack of cross-fandom hits in anime, I think that is the sign of the times with entertainment being less communal, more on-demand, and more specialized. I recognize that it is so rare to see a 2-4 cour (24-52 episodes) anime series that a lot of people love compared to the past, but maybe that's where the all arts and entertainment landscapes are shifting. Well, at least television shows.

Fatty_The_Hutt: I have not watched Black Butler.

I have read some criticisms of Attack on Titan in regards to pacing issues, plot holes/conveniences, and story logic. For me, I found it to be a thrilling, highly enjoyable, and exciting show that I relished watching week to week. Perhaps the show falls apart on further thought or repeated viewings, but I currently believe it earns the joy, excitement, and fandom it has created.

I have to hand it to Nintendo on this one, for everything wrong they have done with the Wii U, the software has been their best overall output in a decade..maybe ever!
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Evan_B on July 11, 2015, 11:02:16 AM: Hmmm. Can't say I agree with that, but the way I see Wii U is not unlike the GameCube- when Nintendo is backed into a corner, their software usually comes out swinging (usually). However, Wii U is missing a few select titles to push it other that threshold, but they're coming eventually so I'm satisfied with the console so far.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on July 11, 2015, 11:52:11 AM: I think it's a little premature to say the game has "legs like a gymnast." It is selling pretty well though, especially for a Wii U game. When you say "legs like a gymnast" that makes me think of something like GTAV or any Call of Duty game, or Mario Kart Wii.

June 2015

Software
1. Batman: Arkham Knight (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
2. The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited (Xbox One, PS4, PC)
3. Lego: Jurassic World (360, Xbox One, PS4, PS3, 3DS, Wii U, Vita)

5. Splatoon (Wii U)
6. Minecraft (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4)

8. Mortal Kombat X (PS4, Xbox One)
9. NBA 2K15 (360, PS4, Xbox One, PS3, PC)
10. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3, PC)

Nice to see Splatoon sticking around at number 5.

EDIT: Nintendo has confirmed to Gamespot that Splatoon has sold 290,000 copies in the US in June, and 455,000 from launch to July 4 (the end of the reporting period). (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/40757/nintendo-sales-panic-june-2015-us-npd-group-results)

Annual Report 2015 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015

A long report of numbers and such. A useful list of Nintendo's subsidiaries and associates under equity method. Of mild interest is Silicon Knights being written off the associates list due to liquidation.

Post by: Ninferno on July 30, 2015, 09:07:16 AM: Decent financial results. Nothing spectacular (maybe except Splatoon which is doing really great) but things seem to be improving. The most positive thing I see here is the digital sales number. It went from 5 billion yen a year ago to 12 billion this quarter. The total software revenue is 45.372 billion which means digital sales account for more than a quarter of that! This is really great news and I hope it makes Nintendo realize how important digital sales are to them, especially when their presence at retail is shrinking so rapidly due to losing in the competition. Step up you game, Nintendo. Do what you will and make your partnership with DeNA on account system fruitful, and remove any obstacles that could possibly stop gamers from buying your game digitally. You had no idea how important this is to you.

The Nintendo 2015 Company Social Responsibility report! A lot of amiibo talk, something about conflict minerals, and data on maternity leave.

One interesting fact is that Nintendo has 5,120 employees world wide.

Japan still loves Animal Crossing and Splatoon refuses to go down. Yoshi's Woolly World passes 50k.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Oedo on August 06, 2015, 09:29:31 PM: I shouldn't be surprised that Animal Crossing HHD, even as a spin-off, did that well in Japan. But I still am for some reason. The game looks more enjoyable than a lot of people would have you believe and I'm looking forward to it... but damn. Clearly Japan doesn't have any reservations about it. It presumably might have even done a bit better if Nintendo didn't (once again) whiff on the amiibo roll out for the game with the cards.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on August 07, 2015, 07:21:27 PM: I was thinking the same thing. Nintendo's going to make a killing on that AC stuff.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Oedo on August 09, 2015, 07:35:25 PM: So they sold 312,000 packs of amiibo cards in those four days of sales, according to Media Create sales numbers. On one hand I kind of want to give Nintendo a pass cuz that just seems kinda insane... but amiibo has been insane pretty much from the outset, so there was no reason to believe these would have been any different. At the very least they could have produced as many packs as they did copies of the game in their initial shipment.

Animal Crossing is still at the top. Luminous Arc: Infinity at 4th. The Gal Gun sequel sells 10.7k combined which is in line with the previous game. Koei Tecmo's 3DS games bringing in the rear of new releases.

Of note, Devil's Third retail was exclusively released on Amazon JP last week. I don't think Media Create tracks Amazon.

Post by: Ymeegod on August 13, 2015, 05:21:25 PM: Splatoon is doing an amazing job in Japan for a new IP. Nearly selling as many units as Mario Kart 8 for the same time period. :). Yoshi died in Japan :(), not sure what happened by selling at 50Kish is pretty damn sad. Still not sure why the game was delayed in the states.

Still not sure why the PS4 continues to sell? FFXV delayed another year, KHIII is MIA, Deep Down is vaporware, yet the system continues to sell?

Bear in mind they just announced Dragon Quest for the thing, so the sheep are probably using that as an excuse to finally join this generation.

Japanese "sheep" are actually smarter than "sheep" from other markets. They don't really buy consoles on promise.

Announcements of games coming out to platform X doesn't affect hardware baseline until the actual day it comes out. Maybe a week before.

Interesting that your first thought should turn to a racial perspective. Actually, I was referring to the Dragon Quest fanbase in general, which buys every new game in that franchise regardless of platform and especially regardless if the game has actually changed from the NES originals. In fact, they tend to throw a fit when Square-Enix hints it might not play like the NES originals. That they're Japanese is immaterial to me. They're just the only market that still cares about Dragon Quest.

In any case, S-E announced more than one PS4 Dragon Quest game at that conference. There's also DQ Heroes 1 & 2, the latter of which was also announced while the 1st is currently available. Plus, Japanese developer support has been a bit on the rise of late, so perhaps the Japanese are finally starting to get interested in the PS4. Weirder things have been known to happen.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: broodwars on August 19, 2015, 05:11:56 PM: It's probably a safe bet these days that the Yarn Yoshi Amiibo have probably sold double to triple what Wooly World itself has. That's what happens when you flood the Wii U market with 2D platformers, as well as recently releasing an underwhelming Yoshi 3DS game.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on August 27, 2015, 02:02:37 PM: I hope Splatoon's success teaches Nintendo that they need to branch out more from the usual Mario fare. They launch the Wii U with a by-the-numbers Mario game that's the same routine everyone has played a million times since 1985 and the console just DIES. Later they release a brand new IP in a genre that they've pretty much never touched before and the game sells great considering the platform it is on. An endless assortment of 2D platformers is ignored but something new that's not quite like anything else on the market attracts attention. If you want people to buy a new console you have to give them something new and different. If the same tired franchises moved systems they would have moved Gamecubes and they didn't. So next time around they should put some real effort into new stuff like they did with Splatoon and not assume that trotting out tired Mario clichés is going to sell systems.

Oddly, I could have sworn one of the largest complaints about the GameCube launch was "no mario title"....

I agree UB. I think a bit of it was more releasing the Mario game as an afterthought and not as the flagship title, which was Nintendoland.

Post by: Luigi Dude on August 28, 2015, 12:45:10 AM: NSMB U did great at launch though. Everyone seems to forget in Japan and America, the Wii U had a good launch for that holiday. The hardcore Nintendo fans bought the system in good numbers in both countries during holiday 2012, with NSMB U having an insane attachment rate among the buyers. The problem is after the holiday the sales dropped like a rock, but for the launch itself, Mario did his job. The problem was the legs were killed because Nintendo released the inferior NSMB 2 a few months earlier. Once the hardcore bought the system at launch, the more casual Nintendo fans were perfectly happy with their cheaper, lower quality handheld version. This has been the biggest problem for the Wii U in general for Nintendo. Nobody wants to buy a Wii U because they can play most of it's biggest games on a much cheaper handheld.

It's like the success of NSMB DS and Wii made them think they could get away with releasing similar games on each system, not realizing there was a 3.5 year gap between both of those games, and NSMB Wii introduced actual 4 character multiplayer which was a huge addition to the Mario franchise since now friends and family could play the game together at the same time. None of the Wii U games that had 3DS versions have had anywhere close to this gap in space between them with a big new game-changing gameplay feature like that included. Not hard to see why history isn't repeating itself.

Seriously, if Nintendo had released Splatoon for the 3DS a few months earlier then the Wii U version the Wii U game would be lucky to sell even half of what it's currently doing. What Splatoon really shows is if they want to continue having 2 separate consoles, they need to give each one more unique titles again which is what they pretty much were before this generation.

It has two muscular human legs and 6 (or 7?) little pointy things I'm not going to name.

It would be like if Nintendo rabbits had tiny little ears or Nintendo leopards had very few spots.

Yes. Sales leaks on GAF have Until Dawn at less than 90K sold and Rare Replay at less than 106K sold. In Until Dawn's defense, it had been out only a few days but overall software sales were pretty dire.

Post by: Ymeegod on September 15, 2015, 09:09:20 AM: Well you have to give it to Sony and their TGS 2015 showing. If anything they are not content with 2nd place in Japan and they are going for blood. A whole range of exclusives, more colors, and a price reduction for the PS4 (which makes it comparable to WII U pricing) leads me to believe Sony knows what it needs to do to reclaim the top spot.

While Nintendo's basically swapping out their bundles with different downloadable games, keeping it two plain colors with no custom art, and at the same price point it was 2 years ago. :(.

Super Mario Maker debuts with a solid 138k, helping Wii U sales to 20k last week. Now, lets see its legs.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on September 17, 2015, 08:38:10 AM: Kinda low sales for an 2D Mario game but if like anything like Splatoon then it really doesn't matter.

Persona 5 is officially delayed until 2016 which just kills me, this was supposed to an stellar year for RPGs but atlas, no Final Fantasy, no Kingdom Hearts, and now no freaking Persona :(.

Still have Fallout 4 and Xenoblade X.

----------------
PS4 price cut won't take effect until Oct 1 so the next couple of weeks I'll expect lower numbers than usual.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: TOPHATANT123 on September 25, 2015, 09:35:18 PM: Resident Evil Revelations 2 Vita edition bombed unsurprisingly.

About 40 hours into Dragon Quest 8 on the ps2 and I can confidently say the game is a masterpiece. I can see why 7 wouldn't come to the West since it is a large scale remake, but for 8 all they would have to localise is the small amount of extra story content since the localisation they have already is amazing. Eh' Guv'.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on September 25, 2015, 10:06:38 PM: Resident Evil: Revelations 2 is just the cart version though, digital version been out for awhile now even in Japan. Not to mention is was on PS4/Xbox One months prior to the Vita version.

MGSV drop is a big alarming though, right now it's at 1/2 million (PS4/PS3) combined but the second week sales nearly flatlined. Wonder if this game is going have any legs in Japan.

Super Mario Maker cares not for last weeks new releases (which weren't big-audience tickets to be fair). The Underwater Ray Ramano sequel debuted last week.

Falcom rises to the top with their latest action RPG, Tokyo Xanadu for the PlayStation Vita. It's followed by Konami's Winning Eleven soccer game and Gust's Yoru no Nai Kuni action RPG. The PlayStation 4 price cut is in effect as sales rise to 46k.

Post by: Ymeegod on October 08, 2015, 07:36:34 AM: Man, Xbox Japan is a total failure at this point. Xbox One had a price drop in Oct but it didn't effect sales at all :0 PS4 boost is about where I predicted it would be.

With the holiday coming up I expect to see maybe 300K PS4 being sold in Japan. The two biggest titles for Japan's fall-winter break are Monster Hunter X and Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem.

Not sure why but MHX humbers are going be CRAZY. Not sure why the series is as popular as it is in Japan but I expect an easy 1-2 million first month sale figure for it alone.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Evan_B on October 08, 2015, 09:29:41 AM: It's popular because of its "meet-up and play" style and meticulous grind.

As for SMTxFE, they've certainly made the game Japanese enough to be successful with the audience. I don't see it pushing large numbers though.

The old Yo-kai Watch Busters game takes the top slot. It's followed by Famista Returns and the Uncharted Collection. Japan doesn't care much for Chibi Robo: Zip Lash either.

For the full month of September, sales of Wii U hardware in the United States increased by nearly 110 percent over sales in August. Software sells hardware, and no one sells hardware like Mario.”

Post by: Ymeegod on October 20, 2015, 02:18:52 AM: Kinda shocked to see Metal Gear 5 at 3rd. Expected to see a few million for the first month between all the platforms but MGS 5 didn't really "fly" off the shelves. Two annual sports titles outselling a long awaited sequel is never a good sign IMO.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Enner on October 20, 2015, 02:48:11 AM: The Metal Gear Solid has a lot of acclaim and love around it, but it was never that huge of a hit.

Also, people really love those sports games.

I guess Super Mario Maker in 6th is alright?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ymeegod on October 20, 2015, 03:09:08 AM: To be honest SMM was never going be a grand hit. 2 million levels but you have to filter out all the crap to find the gems and that's going turn off a lot of gamers pretty quick. I had some fun with making a few stages but playing someone else's troll levels kill my enjoyment of the game.

Mario Maker sold over 500k in September which makes it the second highest start for a Wii U game in North America behind only Smash Bros which did over 700k last November, you know the month with Black Friday in it. So yeah, Mario Maker did pretty good.

I also expect this to be one of those games that has "legs," so its overall total will keep growing. Wouldn't surprise me if the top 3 sellers on Wii U end up as SmUsh, Mario Kart VIII, and Mario Maker.

I think she's referring to North America. Last we heard, Splatoon had hit 500k in NA. So it's a slower one than the three she mentioned.

Post by: michaelbaysuperfan616 on October 28, 2015, 04:59:41 PM: Looks like PS4 could catch and pass Wii U in six months time.
Vita is doing much better than I thought keep hearing it is doing.
Wii U is slipping though.
Xbox One might as well just give up there is no way those numbers are profitable.
Looks like PS3 is winding down in Japan too.

Aside from Streetpass and Rumble World all of those are retail releases also, and they are all first party games, how are 3rd party, indie, and non-retail or digital only games doing I wonder?

Dreamcast cost much less at launch and was only $50 a year and a half after launch. If the Wii U was only $200 at launch and being sold for $50 right now it's sales would be a lot higher.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 31, 2015, 09:40:26 AM: If Wii U was $50 it would only because Nintendo is going bankrupt. It is overpriced though, and too late to hope for a surge in sales. Dreamcast was $50 18 months after launch because it was discontinued and it was a fire sale. It's not a good milestone at all...meanwhile PS4 is at over 30 million sold, and it costs as much as 8 Dreamcasts.

Post by: Shaymin on October 31, 2015, 10:09:10 AM: Someone wanna remind me how long it took for Nintendo's biggest failure this century to hit $100?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 31, 2015, 01:40:27 PM: 22 months. I assume you're talking about the GameCube, because technically the Wii U is the Nintendo's worst selling (real) console. It's at nearly half of the GameCube's LTD sales, but 6 months further along than the GameCube's halfway point, and arguably a year or so away from being discontinued (or at least no longer supported).
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: michaelbaysuperfan616 on October 31, 2015, 06:00:51 PM: GameCube was also heavily discounted at this same juncture in it's life, Nintendo is being uncharactaristically stubborn by not dropping the price. To me that signals they are desperately trying to squeeze as much profit as they can before dropping it for the NX which all signs point to happening next year hopefully as soon as August or September if they can make it work.

I like the Wii U, it has some amazing games, and unlike Wii it had greater potential, it just wasn't what the market wanted. But yeah, surpassing Dreamcast in sales shouldn't be a bench mark, hell Xbox One has already achieved that and it's taken half the time. Not to mention it has also surpassed Wii U LTD totals.

It does sound like Nintendo is still super focused on Japan so there is a chance they might still screw up with NX.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on October 31, 2015, 06:26:55 PM: The Dreamcast and Wii U were very different situations. The Dreamcast was actually somewhat successful for Sega, just not anywhere near enough to pull them out of the tailspin they were in from the 32X, Sega CD and Saturn. They were desperate, and doing anything they could to salvage things.

The Wii U, on the other hand, was coming directly off a time where Nintendo was the most successful they had ever been in their over a century of existence. Nintendo has enough cash reserves to operate without any revenue whatsoever for several years. They can afford to take their time, and don't need to rush things in the short term.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 31, 2015, 08:48:31 PM: Xbox one has surpassed Dreamcast (and Wii U sales), but they didn't do it in half the time. Faster, but not in half the time. Luckily for Nintendo they also sell this other device called the 3DS, otherwise they'd probably have dropped the price on Wii U long ago and either would be putting out a new console now, or boarding up their windows. Then again, they probably have a lot of money in the bank from the Wii still.

Get a new PC instead. Way more practical and all the games on the XBO are likely to be on the PC. Halo 5 you can play on it in a year when the XBO drops to $150 with the rate they are going.

I guess we should put the NPDs in here too:

1.) Halo 5: Guardians (XBO)
2.) NBA 2K16 (PS4, XBO, 360, PS3) [Note: Second Month]
3.) Assassin's Creed: Syndicate (PS4, XBO)
4.) Madden NFL 16 (PS4, XBO, 360, PS3)
5.) WWE 2K16 (PS4, XBO, 360, PS3)
6.) FIFA 16 (PS4, XBO, 360, PS3)
7.) Destiny: The Taken King (PS4, XBO, 360, PS3)
8.) Yoshi's Wooly World (NWU)
9.) Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection (PS4)
10.) Rock Band 4 (XBO, PS4)

Apparently if you go by separate SKUs, Mario Maker would be on the list again.

Considering how small Wooly's World sold in Japan, I wonder what the numbers were for it to place 8th in NPD's.

According to leaks it did around 165k at retail in America which is really good for it's first month. Considering Nintendo games get a good boast during the upcoming holiday, Yoshi should end have a much stronger legs in America then it did in Japan.

Post by: TOPHATANT123 on November 23, 2015, 06:55:25 AM: Animal Crossing amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis Ultra Smash both failed to chart in the top 40's in the UK. I'm guessing that means they sold less than 1000 units for the entire territory.

Star Wars: Battlefront takes the top spot in a deluge of new releases. It's followed by the latest Atelier game and Omega Labyrinth. These are followed by Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival's first week which Famitsu reports a 0-20% sell through rate. Splatoon still refuses to exit the top 10.

In case you were wondering whether Omega Labyrinth for the Vita was a non-booby game or a booby game:

The Anberyl Girls Academy, where a garden of young girls are growing to become beautiful women in both body and mind. At this school, a mysterious rumor surfaced. Somewhere hidden in the school is something called the “Holy Grail of Beauty,” which is said to be able to grant any wish.

Among the schoolgirls brimming with curiosity, the rumor continued spreading. The Holy Grail’s hiding place is said to be a cave there since ancient times. The cave, which is usually off-limits, is opened only on the anniversary of the school’s founding… and…

Today, November 8, is the anniversary of the founding of Anberyl Girls Academy.

And somehow or another, it seems that this year students have come along in search of the Holy Grail of Beauty.

Her wish: to increase her chest size, which is smaller than the other girls’, in a big way…

But will she really be able to find the Holy Grail and have her small wish granted?

It is so booby.

Oppai Appraisal
-The items you obtain in the dungeons will appear as "Unidentified Crystals" their name and effects are not known. In order to reveal these items, you can appraise them by using Omega Power. To do this, you place the crystallized item between your character's breasts and shake. If you stimulate the crystal enough, filling with Omega Power, the item will steadily expand. Shake it to it's limit and the item will be revealed.

Perhaps the boobiest thing I've ever read.

I'm curious what made Happy Home Designer a smash hit and amiibo festival a disaster day of crisis mega-bomb. They are both fairly shallow games that don't offer nearly as much value as the main series, of course due to install base and price, the 3ds game would always outsell the Wii U game, but even percentage wise amiibo festival is still awful. I think ND Cube missed the mark on what makes Animal Crossing fans excited and the messaging behind amiibo festival was all wrong.

Happy Home Designer came first. Maybe it wasn't well received which soured interest in another Animal Crossing spin-off. Though designing your home fits the general theme of AC better than a party game. What about Amiibo Festival is particularly AC-like aside from the graphics?

Gobs of flavorful text.

Happy Home Designer makes sense as a spin-off that laser focuses on one major aspect of Animal Crossing. amiibo Festival is the flavor and atmosphere of Animal Crossing applied to a game that bears no relation to the Animal Crossing games.

Nintenod's deal with Capcom really gave Sony's Vita a major death blow.

That sound you hear is the hunting call of the guild that brings the latest Monster Hunter to the top.
Also, SPLATOON! And Super Mario Maker too.

Man, really glad this game bombed. Whoever "greenlite" this project should have been canned, seriously, an AC board game + forcing people to buy amiibo's too. God awful.

--------

Splatoon sales continue to impress. Wouldn't be surprised to see an sequel by 2017.

--------

Minecraft vita is another evergreen title that continue to sell well even in Japan. Wonder what the total sales are for the region if you counted PC and phone? Might be the highest western developed game published in Japan.

Post by: Ymeegod on December 07, 2015, 08:05:30 AM: WTF is up with the WII U shipments? My local area has the WII U holiday bundle (Splatoon+SSB) as sold out and they don't plan on getting anymore until another 2 weeks? Targets in my area had to throw in voucher's because they didn't even have the minimum number to cover the BF ad? BestBuy was supposed to have a shipment of 40, yet they had only 15?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: michaelbaysuperfan616 on December 07, 2015, 11:46:40 AM: I noticed shortages as well in our area plus used stores all hanging up flyers offering $150 in credit for used Wii U consoles.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on December 07, 2015, 07:21:20 PM: Like Amiibos last year, Nintendo didn't know the Splatoon+Smash bundle would sell this well so they didn't have enough ready. This is one of the reason Nintendo has been able to minimize their Wii U losses after 2013 since they expect the worse for everything Wii U related and ship the bare minimum. So when something Wii U related actual does well, they're caught in these situations where we now have mass shortages of the product.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on December 07, 2015, 09:48:52 PM: Hmmm...all of the Target stores nearby have the bundle in stock. Since the games are preinstalled its strange that Nintendo would have a hard time stocking them.My assumption tells me they don't want to keep giving away two of their best sellers.

- The only Nintendo game in the all-format top 10 is Just Dance. The top selling versions were the Wii U at #2... and the Wii at #1.
- Wii U was flat year over year, which means about 240k units. Given the new games that came out in November, that falls under an absolute miracle, Smash Splat bundle or no.

It's still monster hunting season over in Japan even in the face of a new visual novel prequel and the latest from the minds behind Senran Kagura. Nintendo has announced selling over one million copies of Splatoon and celebrating with a concert.

I'm pretty sure I said something along the lines of, "I'll be surprised if the PS4 doesn't eclipse the Wii U in Japan by the end of the year." Alas, the ink of Splatoon seems to be staving that off until 2016.

There will not be over 600k more PS4s sold than Wii Us by the end of the year. Just not going to happen, unless I'm misinterpreting what you're saying.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Soren on December 16, 2015, 07:56:33 PM: People thought PS4 Japan LTD sales would surpass Wii U's this year and it didn't happen. It's never been a 1:1 comparison, and I've always thought it was silly since PS4 has way more momentum right now, for what it's worth at the end of 2015 Wii U is still the leader at the club house.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on December 16, 2015, 08:42:36 PM: The last weeks of the year tend to favor Nintendo, Sony gets a bump in the first week of the year because the older crowd that gets money for New Year's is more amenable to Sony products.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on December 17, 2015, 02:38:55 AM: The idea that the PS4 even had a chance of passing the Wii U by the end of this year in Japan was always a joke. The PS4 would have had to literally sold an average of over 50k each week in 2015 to have surpassed the Wii U by the end of the year which it was never going to do given the state of the current Japanese home console market.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: michaelbaysuperfan616 on December 17, 2015, 09:46:44 AM: I don't think they can overtake them at this point no, but they can get within reach, there is a chance they could do over half a million holiday sales. I am not saying it will for sure happen but there is a chance. Either way them overtaking Wii U is inevitable and not just because Wii U is going to be put out to pasture next year to make room for NX.

People keep saying console gaming is dead in Japan but both Wii U and PS4 keep putting up respectable numbers and are climbing steadily. Maybe Japanese gamers just didn't like Wii as much and held off on PS3 because they were still making PS2 for so damn long over there.

What the heck Monster Strike 3DS. You aren't supposed to do this well when Puzzle & Dragon: Super Mario Edition launched soft. Good debut for Fallout 4. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven and Exist Archive: The Other Side of the Sky land with a thud. Splatoon and Super Mario Maker gain the Nintendo Holiday Sales spirit to sell 79.2k Wii U systems.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on December 31, 2015, 04:11:34 PM: Splatoon and Mario Maker seem to be fueling the Wii U to new interest. These are reasons why I think Nintendo will still wait for the full 5 year cycle to release the NX, at least the home console portion.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on December 31, 2015, 05:50:18 PM: Splatoon and Mario Maker pretty much prove that the number one problem with the Wii U was the lack of exclusive and unique titles for the system. Had the Wii U launched with both games the system would easily have sold over 30 million units by now with both games being 10 million plus sellers each.

See Nintendo, when there's no cheaper handheld alternative to your home console titles, people will actually be willing to buy the more expensive home console again.

Post by: NWR_insanolord on January 01, 2016, 11:05:41 AM: Yeah, if Super Mario Maker had come out at launch and Splatoon holiday 2013 it might have been a whole different ballgame. The killer apps came too late to do their jobs.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on January 01, 2016, 11:48:31 AM: I don't think they would have sold *that* much better if they came out at launch. Maybe pushed the console a little bit, but not as much as people are assuming.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on January 01, 2016, 12:31:39 PM: It wouldn't have won the generation by any means, but I think if those came out earlier the system could realistically have ended up in GameCube territory instead of being a flop.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on January 01, 2016, 07:36:35 PM: Yeah Mario Maker alone at launch would have justified the Gamepad and made the system much easier to market. "Use our new controller to make your own 2D Mario game and play other peoples levels from around the world" would have gotten a lot more attention then, "Pay us $400 so you can now play a 2D Mario just like the one you bought 3 months ago on a tablet controller while the rest of your family watches TV."
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: TOPHATANT123 on January 01, 2016, 08:25:06 PM: That wouldn't have stopped 3rd parties from mostly ignoring it. The system is flawed, wasn't future proofed at all and unfortunately as much as I love the system and has given me over 1000 hours of entertainment, was destined to mainstream failure from the start. Nothing Nintendo could have realistically done after it's release would have elevated it above more than Gamecube levels of success, they really would have needed to gone completely back to the drawing board.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: broodwars on January 01, 2016, 08:32:15 PM: I think it's also worth pointing out that the system OS was complete & utter dog**** at launch. Granted, it hasn't improved THAT much since, but at least games don't take 2 minutes to load from boot anymore. Also, I don't think having Mario Maker at launch in place of NSMB U would have changed things too much. It's an even worse platformer due to primarily being a level editor, and NSMB 2 would still have come out on 3DS just a few months prior. Splatoon's a different matter, though. I think if that had come out at launch and proven the Wii U to be a viable competitive MP scene, the Wii U would at least be as big a failure as the GameCube was, rather than the biggest console failure Nintendo's ever had. I don't see it performing much better, though. At the end of the day, the Wii U was and is still ridiculously under-powered; overpriced; and incredibly late to the party, with a controller that doesn't really justify its existence. A few games shifted around on the board doesn't change that.

Thing is, I think the only reason Splatoon even happened is because the Wii U was bombing so badly that Iwata was willing to throw just about anything at the thing. In a universe where the Wii U isn't a colossal failure, I think the Splatoon team's stuck making the billionth iteration of some 30-year old franchise instead. Nintendo's output on the Wii is proof enough of that.

It must be one of those days where instead of having it wash over me, I violently react with an exasperated, "Jesus Christ, lay off!"

Which in other words means I can't think of a counter-argument that I would be satisfied with.

The Wii U had fundamental design and marketing issues at launch that went well beyond its terrible launch lineup. It doesn't really matter if X game or Y game (many of which were risky projects only greenlit because nothing else was working on Wii U) were there at launch: the Nintendo of 2012 had no goddamn idea what to do with the Wii U. If you want to change the Wii U's fortunes, you'd have to go back to 2010 (when the Wii U was being designed) and replace the entire arrogant & incompetent Nintendo leadership, starting with Iwata. They designed the Wii U from a position of comfort, thinking that since they dominated so thoroughly with the Wii that they could just put out another gimmicky controller and that's all they had to do.

This is the Nintendo that thought one of the Wii U's top priorities should be keeping its electricity consumption low. This is the Nintendo that made sure its Wii U dev teams were so insulated from the outside world that they had no idea how far Sony & Microsoft's online infrastructures had developed, and the one who didn't have an efficient system in place for working with Western Wii U developers (source for the previous few statements (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2014-secret-developers-wii-u-the-inside-story)).

It's nice to think of bold and risky games Nintendo could have had in the Wii U's early days, but that wasn't the Nintendo of 2012. Hell, they wouldn't have had the resources to put into those types of games anyway, since IIRC they were still putting all their resources into saving the 3DS around then.

replace the entire arrogant & incompetent Nintendo leadership, starting with Iwata. They designed the Wii U from a position of comfort, thinking that since they dominated so thoroughly with the Wii that they could just put out another gimmicky controller and that's all they had to do.

This is the Nintendo that thought one of the Wii U's top priorities should be keeping its electricity consumption low. This is the Nintendo that made sure its Wii U dev teams were so insulated from the outside world that they had no idea how far Sony & Microsoft's online infrastructures had developed, and the one who didn't have an efficient system in place for working with Western Wii U developers (source for the previous few statements (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2014-secret-developers-wii-u-the-inside-story)).

"Stop! St-o-o-o-op, he's already dead!"

. . . .
That may be precisely the wrong "The Simpsons" reference to use.

You don't need to remind me of the Wii U and Nintendo's numerous shortcomings. Also, I suspect that applies to a majority of this forum's attendance.

Post by: michaelbaysuperfan616 on January 04, 2016, 10:15:20 AM: You can usually get a feel for how well a console will do when you look at the pre-release hype/chatter. Wii had a lot of hype but it also had a lot of confusion, people were just unsure what to think. Wii U had no hype, it was a dud at launch because everyone outside ultra die hard Nintendo fans took one look at it and rolled their eyes. If it had some amazing first party Nintendo game at launch so what, Game Cube had that, so did N64 having the greatest game of all time at launch means nothing if you have to wait six months to get a follow up lackluster piece of slop or some mediocre game that gets over hyped by the fans but ignored by the larger masses. Wii U had anti-hype going in, it needed a lot more than just some AAA blockbuster mega hit to get the ball rolling because even a big AAA blockbuster mega hit by Nintendo means nothing to EA, Activision, and Ubisoft. especially when the userbase is front loaded with people who really don't care about those types of games. What you need is a console that people take one look at and do NOT have to settle or sit back and agonize over how the missing features will affect their enjoyment of the machine. If GC had just played DVD's from the start and maybe looked more like a traditional game console there wouldn't have been a stigma with it and despite how amazing it was it NEVER shook the stigma. Wii had the same stigma but it had a new market in retirement centers to cash in on, the types of customers who buy a machine like that once in a lifetime and then keep it until it breaks then they stuff it in a shoebox in the attic.

Maybe Wii had a large install base but it also had a huge chunk of the non-gamers snatching them up. Wii U had to appeal to the traditional gamer and it failed to do so falling hard to the ultra loyal Nintendo fan and then when that failed it went all in on Nostalgia and when that failed they finally rolled the dice with Spaltoon, so far the only real gamble software wise that actually paid off. Everything else from Mario Kart, Smash, to DKC, those were a given. Even the Zelda games we can always count on them bringing in the Zelda gamers, but are they really enough anymore when most of them seem to find satisfaction in the handheld space and hate on the console offerings?

Post by: Triforce Hermit on January 04, 2016, 11:01:17 AM: Coming from a giant Zelda fan (my #1 game franchise without debate), personally I've always enjoyed Link's console adventure far more then the handhelds one. It's just that Skyward Sword was a dud. And almost every single Zelda game is on handheld now aside from three of the console ones. Not so much the Zelda fans are comfortable on handheld, that is just where they have been stuck.

That is kind of the whole problem, for the last few generations the consoles offerings have all, not just Zelda here, been varying degrees of disappointment whereas the handhelds get the games gamers are asking for, the Wii U was the first time they got both games and somehow it was still a dud so its not really so easy to pinpoint the "one" thing that is hurting Wii U so much as running in circles trying to figure out what could have been done differently.

GC was the same way, a lot of the console games were either crap or just token efforts but the games people wanted were either on GBA or DS. And I seem to recall that before WW HD that game was pretty hated for a long time too.

Post by: Triforce Hermit on January 04, 2016, 01:42:43 PM: Wind Waker was disliked because of artstyle (disagree, but fair enough), tedious sailing (disagree, but fair enough), and the triforce collecting (tedious, but rupee gathering was not as bad as people make it seem). They fixed 2 of these points in the HD and the artstyle just grew on people overtime. But yeah it was hated.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on January 27, 2016, 05:10:52 PM: Japan has never been that enamored with the Zelda series and most Musou games on the 3DS haven't been big sellers. So it's not that surprising really.

It's the best-selling Wii U game in Japan, as if that actually means anything.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on February 01, 2016, 03:08:17 PM: They just dropped a patch to the game late January and another major patch is planned to release soon bringing the game up to the current console standard of 1.8.8/TS31. Their desire to continue support of the game is a good sign they are happy with sales.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: michaelbaysuperfan616 on February 01, 2016, 03:35:09 PM: Cool, I was worried it would flop and then all those Nintendo themes would get canceled because the main reason I would get it, aside from the offtv play, is for the Nintendo stuff. I wonder if it supports Amiibo and if they will start making Minecraft Amiibo soon.

Outselling Splatoon on the Japan eShop, last I heard on the internet hear-say.

It's domestic success could influence Nintendo Co. Ltd. in some fashion.

Japan likes Minecraft too that they just ate up the Minecraft-inspired Dragon Quest Builders. From tweets that I've read, it's sort of a Minecraft for older JRPG players where there is more direction and goals introduced. Mario Tennis come in at 3rd and Splatoon is finally knocked out of the top ten.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on February 03, 2016, 07:59:43 PM: Splatoon has joined the ranks of Dragon Quest and Monster Hunter where they don't fall off charts due to lagging interest, but because everyone already owns the game in the country.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on February 03, 2016, 10:39:58 PM: What that game has done in Japan is just astonishing. It's been popular everywhere, but seemingly the most so there, in a country that has never been all that interested in its genre.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on February 04, 2016, 12:00:47 AM: It took three releases of a game in the biggest franchise in the country in a genre that's on the rise to knock Splatoon out of the top 10. (That and Mario Tennis, so there's clearly no accounting for taste.)

Post by: Ian Sane on February 05, 2016, 06:04:10 PM: Last gen Japanese devs had a little phase where they were trying to make "Western-style" games to sell to Western gamers. In theory the idea made some sense in that the North America audience is the biggest and the console market has shrunk in Japan. The big flaw was that part of what Western gamers like about Japanese games was that they had a distinct style different from North American or European games. Plus Western devs don't have to "guess" what a Western-style game is like, they just make them and a Japanese company is usually not going to get it quite right. So really we were just getting Western-style games that don't feel quite right.

But what if Nintendo has stumbled onto a similar idea. They took a Western genre and made a clearly Japanese game of it which appealed to Japanese gamers. Meanwhile it appealed to the West as well as most good Japanese games that aren't based around majong or oogling jailbait tend to do. So could this work again if Nintendo tried their own take on a different Western genre? There is a Western style of RPG and PC birthed genres like RTS or tycoon games and the big open-world adventure genre trailblazed by GTA. Splatoon is sort of Nintendo's take on a multiplayer focused FPS so what would their take of GTA be? It doesn't have to Mario killing hookers as they've clearly demonstrated they can separate the appeal of the gameplay from the mature themes.

And is this the approach to rebuild the Japanese game market? Maybe Japanese gamers are just waiting for something new? The genres of Japanese game development are pretty set in stone these days. Yeah you can say the same for America but for the Japanese those clichés are new experiences for them.

Post by: michaelbaysuperfan616 on February 08, 2016, 10:17:43 AM: Maybe Ian has it backwards maybe the reason Japanese companies were so successful was they were it for so long there just was no alternative from 1985 till 2005 Japanese game consoles dominated the entire world, western consoles floundered and flopped. Maybe the industry as a whole was just waiting for Xbox to come along and create a market that would give western developers a chance to get their games out there. Maybe gamers were just getting tired of the anime themed cyborgs that dominated Japan and were waiting for a Renaissance of western development and now Japanese developers are right where they belong, floundering in their own market because gamers grew tired of the same old thing. Eventually we might, as a whole, get tired of what the western developers are doing too, but I doubt it because American's tend to be pretty hung up on big explosions lately and if you dig into the culture, 9/11 changed us to a point where we kind of collectively needed to see "our guys" win for a change.

I read somewhere else that Wii U is actually having supply shortages in Japan and this explains the low sales numbers this week. I wonder if that's true or just PR B.S.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on February 11, 2016, 01:44:25 PM: With a mere 64,713 XB1 owners how does any game make a profit? The maximum sales a game can get is 64,713 and any game today selling only that would be considered a massive flop. I know that those games have releases in Europe and North America to give them a worldwide profit but their is a cost in translating the game into Japanese as I'm guessing most of those games were developed in the West with English as the native language. How is that justified with such low figures?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: nickmitch on February 11, 2016, 03:54:44 PM: One answer could be MS footing the bill on localizations to keep software releases coming out in the region. But I thought MS gave up on Japan a long time ago. Either way, skimping on things like voice acting might be getting them by.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on February 11, 2016, 07:09:58 PM: Well we have companies like XSeed who have ways to cheaply localize games for the West and they turn a profit. Perhaps there is a similar deal in the reverse? Also, a lot of Japanese understand some English so they may not worry about translating and localizing all that much.

Post by: michaelbaysuperfan616 on February 12, 2016, 12:22:23 AM: How do we know those games are even getting localized? Is it possible one of the reasons Xbox is failing in Japan is because Microsoft won't localize games and thus Japanese gamers are limited to either buying games that don't require knowing English, very few probably exist, or that the console is only selling to those who are proficient enough in English to not be bothered?

Also Xbox pretty much started as an offshoot of the gaming PC, was Windows PC's ever popular in Japan? Or more importantly are the franchises that were most popular on PC that drove the sales of the Xbox even popular in Japan?

Big publishers usually do a good job of localizing things and including multiple language options. I don't assume Microsoft to be any different with even it's Xbox One exclusive games.

We assume, but that is assuming they cared enough to do so. Maybe they aren't dubbing them though what if all they are doing is providing Japanese sub titles? While that would count as technically localizing, it might only be minimal effort. I can only assume finding someone in Japan who actually owns an Xbox One is going to be difficult for a site this small so all we have are assumptions then.

Fire Emblem Fates sells 300,000 copies in the US in it's first 3 days, making it the best US launch for the Fire Emblem and a 5 times stronger launch than Awakening which presumably sold 60,000 copies in it's first 3 days. Out of the two versions Birthright sold the best but Conquest still "came close behind".

Good news, teitoku! The oft-delayed and seemingly-underwhelming Vita adaption of the Kantai Collection browser game has sailed to the top of the charts! Maybe the more interesting Sega arcade game will get a home port. Project Setsuna is the Square Enix game made by the new Tokyo RPG Factory. The game was teased in Square Enix's E3 2015 presentation and fully revealed during TGS 2015.

Congrats to Fire Emblem Fates getting a rocket start in North America! I hope to get my Special Edition soon.

Nintendo of Europe's twitter account has tweeted that Tomodachi Life has sold 2 million copies in Europe, since December 2015 we know it's sold 4.89 million worldwide and 1.8 million of those were in Japan, so roughly guesstimating this is how it sold in each region.

Best-Selling Physical Games in US for February 2016:

The order of the platforms in parentheses corresponds to sales

1. Far Cry Primal (PS4, Xbox One)
2. Call of Duty: Black Ops III (Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3, PC)
3. Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3, PC)
4. Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 (PS4, Xbox One)
5. NBA 2K16 (PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3)
6. Lego Marvel Avengers (PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii U, PS3, 3DS, PlayStation Vita)
7. Street Fighter V (PS4)
8. Minecraft (Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4, PS3)
9. Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright (3DS)
10. Fallout 4 (PS4, Xbox One, PC)

As noted on Nintendo World Report (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/42256/nintendo-sales-panic-february-2016-us-npd-group-results), the combine SKUs of Fates would place it in the third sport. Fates has sold 400k on physical and digital.

Post by: broodwars on March 11, 2016, 10:23:31 AM: Sounds like a down month in general (though typical for February) if ~400K would place combined Fates in #3. Seriously, though, who is still buying GTA 5 at this point? :Q
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on March 11, 2016, 10:29:11 AM: People turn 17 every month.

Apparently the PS4 sold 400,000 consoles this month with the biggest releases being Far Cry Primal and Naruto (believe it!). And I guess a lot of people take the opportunity to update KIRBY'S EPIC YARN when they do.

Post by: supermario2k on April 07, 2016, 12:24:17 PM: I am curious how PS4 is doing compared to Wii U. Does anyone know where Wii U was in Japan at this same point in it's life? I kind of get the impression PS4 is doing better world wide but I keep hearing it's doing lousy in Japan even compared to Wii U, is that true?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Enner on April 07, 2016, 03:13:42 PM: PS4 had a rough time in Japan at the beginning, but now it is building momentum that has it tracking above sales of the Wii U.

I know that, I was just wondering if at this same point in it's life if Wii U was doing better or worse than PS4 is doing right now, in Japan at least. But this thread goes on for miles so I didn't know where to start.

PS4 came out about a year after the Wii U. If we look at the last year to date for Wii U and the year to date this year for PS4, you can compare where they are at. So PS4 this year is currently at 382,680 and Wii U last year at this time was at 126,035. I'd say the Wii U was doing a lot worse than the PS4 is now. PS4 got a slow start and is starting to pick up steam. Wii U actually had a decent start in Japan and then fell apart. The only thing that kept it afloat really has been Splatoon and you could maybe say Mario Maker.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: supermario2k on April 11, 2016, 11:01:29 AM: I meant, PS4 is 2 years and 4 months old right now, or somewhere close to that, where was Wii U when it was 2 years and 4 months old, or whatever but it's okay I think I got the gist of it, PS4 is doing better than Wii U was so I think that tells me what I was wanting to know, thanks Louieturkey.

1. The Division (PS4, XB1, PC)
2. Far Cry Primal (PS4, XB1, PC)
3. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD (NWU)
4. Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, XB1, 360, PS3, PC)
5. EA Sports UFC 2 (PS4, XB1)
6. MLB 16: The Show (PS4, PS3)
7. Pokken Tournament (NWU)

9. Call of Duty: Black Ops III (XB1, PS4, 360, PS3, PC)
10. Minecraft (360, PS4, XB1, PS3)

Twilight Princess HD does nicely as Ubi Soft takes the top two slots. Pokken Tournament places in 7th and would be 4th in the single SKU count.

NAKAMA! Oh, and Star Fox Zero was released last week. But school girls with guns were able to put a bullet in to the fox to come out ahead of the Star Fox Zero + Star Fox Guard combo SKU.

Another interesting tidbit from the investors meeting.
The Pokemon virtual console games released for the 20th anniversary have sold over 1.5 million. It also sounds as if Sun and Moon is not planned for a simultaneous worldwide release.
Quote
Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, launching in winter 2016 (holiday 2016 in the U.S. and late 2016 in Europe).
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on April 28, 2016, 09:52:53 AM: That's different terminology for the same thing. Winter 2016 in JP = holiday 2016 in NA = late 2016 in Europe/Australia.

Kirby and his Robobot top the charts last week with a nice 144k. Siliconera (http://www.siliconera.com/2016/05/06/week-sales-kirby-planet-robobot-makes-debut-along-powerful-pro-yakyu-2016/) notes that is about 70k short of Triple Deluxe's debut of 214k.

Also, baseball! And the Wii U is back in the five figures.

Post by: Shaymin on May 12, 2016, 11:45:06 PM: NPD preview: Nobody wants to talk about hardware. In software: Star Fox Zero 5th overall in single-SKU or 10th in combined, Bravely Second 9th single SKU and Pokken 10th.

Pokken probably passed Street Fighter V as far as physical US copies goes. No numbers for that either, so we don't know for sure.

Post by: Luigi Dude on May 13, 2016, 12:28:53 AM: Considering all the controversy, Star Fox did pretty good. It also deputed high on the charts in Europe it's first week as well so the Western sales should make up for the Japanese sales. I've been playing the game recently and it's very obvious it had a low budget as well so it'll probably end up being profitable for them in the end.

So yeah, unlike what some people were saying Zero isn't going to kill the series. Now what they do in next installment is up for debate, but Star Fox lives to fight another day.

We'll see. For all we know, 10th place on the NPDs could mean 100,000...or it could mean significantly less. Judging by the PR spin, it wasn't a spectacularly good month for software or hardware, so ranking is definitely relative. We'll have to wait for the actual numbers to leak on the usual sites to know for sure.

I'm happy to see the actual best mascot game released last month take the Silver this month, though. That Ratchet reboot is excellent.

Those are basically the same numbers Tokyo Mirage Sessions got during its first two weeks and the general consensus here is that it was a pretty big failure.

It might not click immediately-- it varies on folks' comfort with motion controls and the dual screen approach-- but I overall loved the game. Got all 70 medals! :D

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Oedo on June 09, 2016, 10:48:04 PM: According to Nintendo the 3DS "family of systems" moved past the 60 million units sold mark. Going by the number they gave us at the end of the fiscal year (58.85 million), that would be put them at over one million units sold for April and May. That seems pretty decent as far as this time of the year goes.

I'm guessing it should reach the 2 million mark by now....I mean it has to! considering how it sold so damn quickly in Japan and US alone.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: TOPHATANT123 on June 27, 2016, 03:54:45 PM: As of March 2016 (before it released in Europe) there were a total of 1.84 million copies sold across digital and physical. I'd like to think they've sold at least 160 thousand copies across the whole of Europe and Australia, but you'd think they'd have announced it by now if it had. It's possible they're saving up good news for the shareholders meeting that takes place on the 29th June.

Post by: Louieturkey on July 01, 2016, 03:19:06 PM: Even Minecraft on Wii U can get a decent start. Will it have legs like the Vita version? Probably not.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: TOPHATANT123 on July 01, 2016, 04:49:51 PM: I'd like to imagine Umbrella Corps is similar to Lost Reavers in that it's a project that was used to wet the feet of the next generation of Capcom programmers, artists and network people. If so I hold no ill will against it.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Socar on July 02, 2016, 03:53:31 PM: Has Awakening or Kid Icarus Uprising reached the 2 million mark by now?

I mean, I know they are old titles but still....more sales means more hope for those series right?

Also, how has Planet Robobot done compared to Triple Deluxe?

GUPURI. Cards rule the roost last week. Splatoon had a new bundle.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on July 15, 2016, 02:29:19 PM: I was wondering if the spike to Splatoon was a new bundle. I'm guessing it includes the new amiibo figures. How soon after the NX launch do we think a new Splatoon game will be released?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread

Yo-kai Watch 3 tops the charts, twitter users have noted that it is half of Yo-kai Watch 2's debut. It's followed by the 3rd Trails in the Sky game.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Oedo on July 21, 2016, 01:09:13 AM: When I saw the numbers earlier that did seem somewhat light for Yo-Kai Watch 3 (which is crazy to say about a game that sold over 600,000 units in a number of days), but I didn't realize it was that big a drop off from Yo-Kai Watch 2. Looking at the old numbers and dates I'm guessing at least some of it is explained by the fact that Yo-Kai Watch 2's first "week" included four days of sales since it was released on a Thursday, while Yo-Kai Watch 3's first week includes just two days of sales with it releasing on a Saturday. Even accounting for that it seems like a legitimate drop though.

By first Christmas. At the latest. (If it's not a launch title for the new handheld.)
Aw man, that'd be sweet. If you could boot up and play a few quick rounds of Splatoon wherever you happen to be that has wifi? I want that! Who doesn't want that?

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on July 21, 2016, 09:04:45 PM: NPD top 10, with Wii U/3DS games bolded:

1) Overwatch
2) GTAV
3) Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens
4) Doom (2016)
5) Mirror's Edge Catalyst
6) Uncharted 4
7) NBA 2k16
8) Call of Duty: Black Ops 3
9) Destiny: The Taken King
10) Minecraft

Notes:
- NPD has added PSN/XBLA sales from Activision, EA, Ubisoft, Warner, Take 2, Capcom, SquareEnix and Deep Silver. To compensate, we no longer get platform listings.
- Kirby: Planet Robobot was the 4th best selling single SKU of the month, but sold below what Minecraft did combined, 3DS sales up 39% compared to last June
- Tokyo Mirage Sessions (sharp)FE did about 50,000

Etrian Odyssey V had it's wish granted and took the top sales spot last week. And look at Kirby just hanging out there in 8th. Little guy has been comfy staying in the top 20 for so long.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Oedo on August 12, 2016, 03:32:29 PM: It sounds like the 3DS was the best selling platform in the U.S. for the month of July. Being the top selling platform in July doesn't mean nearly the same thing as being the top seller in the later months, of course, but between the $150 New 3DS bundle dropping this month, Pokemon Sun and Moon dropping in November, and the general momentum from Pokemon Go, it seems like the 3DS could be in for a fairly big second half of the year overall. Depending on how they choose to bundle or release special hardware to coincide with the Sun and Moon launch, the 3DS could really go big during the holiday season.

I guess Pokemon GO is doing its job like Nintendo hoped it would. Now we need that Fire Emblem GO game to be released so it can spur more FE sales.

Post by: Luigi Dude on September 01, 2016, 12:58:48 AM: Not really surprising considering Metroid isn't popular in Japan and this game doesn't even star Samus, so it's not like the hardcore Nintendo fans over their who jerk off to her porn have any reason to pick this up either. The only thing that might have made Japanese audience interested is the chibi artystyle but even that had a very generic western look to it instead of a real anime chibi look. Not only that but it's a chibi look that usually appeals to kids, but the game itself is a FPS which is more popular with older audiences.

The game literally had no appeal to the Japanese market. Yeah it probably won't do too well in the West but at least there's enough of a Metroid fanbase and kids in the West being more open to FPS that could keep it from being a complete bomb over here.

Post by: Louieturkey on September 01, 2016, 12:52:53 PM: I'm guessing Sony announced their 9/7 press event too early as the PS4 seems to be in very short supply. My guess is there will be one more week like that and then it'll just to above 50k in sales the next week with the Slim being released.

Next week should be similar or down for PS4, then the Slim and (bigger deal) Persona 5 will blow the doors off.

I think the low numbers this week are because of the PS4 Slim which is coming out next week.

Ah, good point. That should boost PS4 sales, probably easily pushing it over Wii U sales. Good for them.

2) No Man's Sky (508k physical only)
3) Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (120k+)
4) GTAV (154k)
5) Overwatch
6) Rainbow Six: Siege
7) Black Ops 3 (61k unbundled, 197k overall)
:cool; Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens
9) Minecraft
10) Destiny: The Taken King

XB1 best selling console: 274.8k, PS4 160k, Wii U <23k, 3DS <149k
3DS up from last year because of Pokemon Go, but halo effect fading.
The 2016 GOTY did about 1/1000 of what its position deserves.

Post-apocalyptic animal ears take the top spot. The PlayStation 4's lifetime-to-date sales in Japan has surpassed the Wii U's.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on September 28, 2016, 12:12:52 PM: While I'm not at all surprised that the PS4 eventually out-sold the Wii U in Japan, I am surprised that it took this long. The Wii U is (supposedly) less than a year away from getting replaced. It only had a year head start but managed to hold on to the lead until it essentially stopped being supported. I expected it to do a lot worse and figured the PS4 would beat it years ago.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on September 28, 2016, 01:31:30 PM: Actually it had a bit more than a year head start as the PS4 released in Japan in February 2014 and November 2013 in the US and Europe.

I actually suspected it would take a while. Japan is mobile/handheld country now with a heavier focus on the former. I hope the NX, whatever it is (haha), somehow helps.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Oedo on October 13, 2016, 12:43:54 PM: I can't tell if that's good or bad for Monster Hunter Stories. It makes sense that it wouldn't sell nearly as well as the mainline entries (given the target demographic and how it's a significant departure from the gameplay of the mainline games) and I'm sure Capcom didn't expect it to, but it still sort of feels like a Monster Hunter spin-off should do better than that in Japan. Either way, I guess this is one of those games whose failure or success will be determined by how well it does over a longer period of time.

Post by: Shaymin on October 13, 2016, 07:01:44 PM: For what it's worth, Capcom isn't expecting it to clear a million sales this fiscal year.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: supermario2k on October 19, 2016, 12:44:55 AM: I thought Capcom was for sale or going out of business, I am pretty sure I read it somewhere but now I can't remember where so it might have been BS.

Japan's inner Kirito is unleashed as Hollow Realization, the latest Sword Art Online video game, takes the top. It leaves World of Final Fantasy in its wake. Battlefield 1 get a good hold as it places above the new arrivals of Berserk Musou and Titanfall 2.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on November 03, 2016, 03:44:39 PM: For some reason I didn't hear about World of Final Fantasy until it released. What kind of game is it? Is it similar to that phone game, All the Bravest or whatever?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on November 03, 2016, 06:07:20 PM: It's a monster raising game (think Pokémon) with Final Fantasy characters and fanservice.

It also has a really the-irritating localization quirk that made me want to the-smack someone upside the-head.

The continued success of Sword Art Online anything confounds me.

It is the perfect marriages of power fantasy, visual novel harem, and MMORPG meta lingo. And then it executes with enough competence to grab and hold a fan base. It is not too surprising that the franchise is enjoying so much success.

Pokemon X and Y - 1.87 million
Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire - 1.51 million
Pokemon Sun and Moon - 1.89 million

Pretty darn good. I'm also curious to see what the numbers from North America and Europe will look like.

We won't have numbers for that until next month, but apparently GameStop said it was their most preordered game in at least the last five years.

So are those X/Y sales lifetime sales, or also just the launch? Because those are in the same ballpark and I kinda expected Sun/Moon to obliterate the previous records. The Gen 3 remakes doing lesser makes sense to me, they're 'just' remakes, reviewed less well and they're based on one of the weaker regions too (imo).

Sure seemed to move decent number of PS4 consoles, though.

The last Final Fantasy game to sell like XV did in its opening week in Japan? Final Fantasy V.

Which btw, came out in 1992.

A combination of a moribund console market in Japan and (probably) fan resentment following certain other releases = less than impressive sales.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on December 09, 2016, 03:39:57 PM: Just something interesting to note about Pokemon Sun and Moon and its closest competition this month, Call of Duty Infinite Warfare.

We know Pokemon is at ~3.6m in the Americas after 12 days. The NPD period ended on the 26th, so 9 days of Pokemon sale. If we assume most of the sales are frontloaded, let's say 75% of those 3.6 were tracked by NPD (physical, US) which means 2.7m.

CNBC is reporting that Infinite Warfare was down over half from last year (BO3). That was about 4.8m. Other analysts with access to the data are saying you have to quadruple it to get to Modern Warfare 3 (the best seller in the series) and that was just shy of 9m. So we're looking at 2.3 - 2.4m for Infinite Warfare.

On a unit basis, there's a better than average chance that Nintendo had the best selling game of November in the US. The NPD chart we're getting next week, however, tracks things differently - they base it on revenue. And since Infinite Warfare was $60 at launch, with a $80 edition that a lot of people bought for the Modern Warfare remaster, and Activision's digital sales on PSN/XBL count toward the revenue, it'll probably be IW 1, Pokemon 2.

Quote
Early signs for the Mario game were positive as it topped download rankings in Britain, Japan, Germany and Australia.

But some analysts are concerned about the $9.99 price tag - £7.99 in the UK - to access the full version of the game and that Android users will not be able to buy it until later.

Did the stockholders want a lower price so they'd make... less money? :moonface:

Were they caught off guard until today about the app's price? :moonface:

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: KeyBilly on December 16, 2016, 04:13:56 PM: Most of the games that I play on mobile are not free-to-play and they are all a better value for the content. If it wasn't Mario, there would be zero chance of me buying a game like this for the price. But, it's Mario, and I understand that Nintendo wants to set as high a precedent for price as possible. Iwata was concerned about undervaluing games in the mobile space and hurting the market.

SuperData updated its projections for Super Mario Run today, saying it now expects the game to bring in between $12 million and $15 million in its first month. That's down significantly from the company previous first-month forecast of $60 million.

Nobody can get a straight answer on the total sales:

Quote
According to data from Apptopia, Super Mario Run saw 2,850,000 downloads in its first day on the App Store, ... Rival firm App Annie puts the download figures much higher, saying Mario saw 3.5 million downloads just in the U.S. within the first 14 hours, and 10 million total downloads worldwide on Dec. 15th, its launch day.

Sensor Tower is reporting that the app has seen more than 5 million worldwide downloads on day one.

Numbers from other outlets are still coming in.*

Haha that's a pretty amusing statistic. Out of curiosity I went to look up the lifetime sales of the current X-Box sales, but wikipedia just says they are "over 10 million" with the latest source from 2014. Apparantly Microsoft doesn't announce sales anymore. It says estimates are between 25-30 million, buuuuuut....

*dons console war hat*

....there's a very small possibility that it actually sold less than Wii U!!!! *adjusts tinfoil* Clearly Microsoft are just feeding these estimates themselves when in fact nobody has bought a new X-Box for 2 years! *digs bunker* There's very obviously an anti-Nintendo bias in THE MEDIA CONGLOMERATES! *extreme coupons supplies*

Still weird to see it selling at all in Japan, allegedly the Wii U has been revoked from retailers in the US by Nintendo.

Is there more to this than just what the one guy on NeoGaf said?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on December 29, 2016, 04:58:38 PM: Go look for a Wii U at a retail store (only used ones at GameStop) - I haven't seen any in weeks, and it certainly isn't due to interest in the console.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp?st=wii+u+console&_dyncharset=UTF-8&_dynSessConf=&id=pcat17071&type=page&sc=Global&cp=1&nrp=&sp=&qp=&list=n&af=true&iht=y&usc=All+Categories&ks=960&keys=keys

Sorry for the massive link, but that's Best Buy not having them available online. No BB within 250 miles has them either. Walmart does not have them for sale online either, nor does Target (try to add one to your cart) and Amazon only has resellers and used consoles. It's definitely been recalled.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: King of Twitch on December 30, 2016, 10:29:43 PM: Nothing in my area on target or bb either. Baffling.

Here's another example from June 2013 where they were "rebalancing" stock. Is that what they're doing now? http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/consoles/nintendo-reportedly-recalling-8gb-wii-u-basic-following-e3-1156825
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on December 30, 2016, 11:05:50 PM: No it's gone.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: King of Twitch on December 30, 2016, 11:57:47 PM: Don't they want to make some more sales? Isn't 3 more months of sales better than 0? Is this some newfangled form of... pre-emptive forced scarcity to build the hype train?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on December 31, 2016, 12:20:23 AM: I think it's better just to kill it now in preparation for only having one console to push. The only game left in production from Nintendo is Zelda anyway, right? There have been rumors that the Wii U version is getting canceled too (might not be true).
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on December 31, 2016, 01:11:06 AM: I really doubt the Wii U version of Zelda will be canceled. It's not worth the bad PR.. It'll come out at least a month after the Switch version with no marketing or press backing, but it's going to come out.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on December 31, 2016, 10:56:11 AM: Or they could make everyone happy and pack both games together.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Soren on December 31, 2016, 11:42:16 AM: I honestly think this is just an issue of many stores having extremely low stock on Wii U systems and people just buying a Wii U because "screw it, it's the Holiday season". My local Best Buy serves a city of over 300k, and they've never had more than 3-4 Wii U systems on shelves. This could very much be a case of they sold those off and didn't bother adding more. Hell, finding a 3DS isn't a picnic either.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on January 01, 2017, 03:25:00 PM: Yeah, I imagine there was very little Wii U stock in stores, and it isn't going to be replaced with more stock since it's already discontinued. I think Nintendo even made a statement to the effect that if you want a Wii U, the batch currently in stores is the last of it. Everything sells around the holidays, especially if a store was sold out of the other systems. I'd need more proof of a recall to believe that.

Yeah I'm curious too what would actually constitute good sales? Like sure it's heavily dependent upon the development budget for a title, relative to the platform's popularity and how long the platform has been in the market etc. But something like PoochPooch, how much would Nintendo hope for it to sell?

It's a down-port I guess, albeit with some extra content, a new title and on a much more popular platform (an ageing one perhaps). But the original sold like what, a million units over just 13m Wii U's? Would they expect to match that, or maybe get to 25-50% of those sales numbers? I have no idea, mind, just curious.

I thought the numbers for Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World looked to be a bit light as well, but it seems to be selling in line with Nintendo's expectations; apparently the 40,000 or so units it sold in its first week was 80% of its initial shipment. Looking back at the Wii U game, it wasn't a big seller in Japan either (it only managed to clear 100,000 units sold before losing momentum). What's going to make or break the game is the overseas sales, like the original.

It's tough to say. It reached 1.37 million on Wii U which is lower than some of the Yoshi games before it. However, Yoshi's New Island on 3DS didn't clear 1 million from what I can find, so I'm not so sure how well Woolly World will do even though the game was much better received than New Island. 3DS sales appear to be slowing down as well.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on March 08, 2017, 12:09:45 AM: Guess the Switch is doing pretty well to start I guess. (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-03-08/nintendo-switch-breaks-nintendo-2-day-sales-record-in-americas/.113104)
Quote
New York Times reporter Nick Wingfield reported on Twitter on Monday that Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aimé said in an interview that the Nintendo Switch has exceeded Nintendo's first two-day sales records for a console in the Americas. Nintendo's Wii console held the previous record.

According to Wingfield, Fils-Aimé also said that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has become the best-selling standalone launch title in the Americas in Nintendo's history. The Super Mario 64 game for the Nintendo 64 held the previous record.

Famitsu reported on Tuesday that the Nintendo Switch sold an estimated 330,637 units in Japan in the first three days of the system's release. Famitsu also reported that the The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Nintendo Switch and Wii U game sold an estimated 193,060 copies between March 3 and March 5. That number does not include download sales. The game is the Nintendo Switch's current top-selling title in Japan.

The device shipped in Japan, the United States, Canada, major European countries, Hong Kong, and other territories on March 3. The console is priced at 29,980 yen in Japan, and US$299.99 in North America. Launch titles include I Am Setsuna, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and 1-2-Switch.

Nintendo's Wii U console sold an estimated 308,570 units in its first two days of release in Japan in December 2012. The console sold 694,370 units in its first five weeks in Japan and 890,000 units in its first six weeks in the United States.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Soren on March 08, 2017, 08:43:07 AM: The record numbers are very positive, but the real test will come after this launch period when we start to hit a lull and the Zelda experience wears off. Very very cautious optimism.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on March 08, 2017, 09:12:42 AM: That's why Arms and Mario Kart weren't launch titles. Nintendo is purposely spacing things out to try and avoid too much of a lull, which was a huge problem with both Wii U and 3DS.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Soren on March 08, 2017, 09:30:16 AM: I feel like Deluxe will have a hard time matching the sales pace or buzz of the original. There's some really good potential for ARMS though if Nintendo plays it right.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: nickmitch on March 08, 2017, 01:09:58 PM: I wonder if this news reflects popularity/interest in the console or improvements in Nintendo's supply chain management? The console is still selling as fast as they're making them, so I agree that we should wait and see how the buzz is after the launch window.

Deluxe sales will depend on how many people buying the Switch owned a Wii U. If many of these Switch buyers are 3DS owners that skipped the Wii U then Deluxe sales should be huge considering it's been over a generation since Mario Kart 7 was released and that game sold better then Mario Kart 8. And if it's attracting gamer's that haven't owned a Nintendo device since the Wii, it should be even greater considering how much of a monster Mario Kart Wii was.

Post by: Order.RSS on March 10, 2017, 10:12:27 AM: Hey Enner am I reading these right, did Japan sell through +300k Switches with 'only' just over half of those customers also getting Zelda? Or are these sales to retailers?

I guess some people got theirs with 1-2 Switch, Dragon Quest Heroes, Bomberman or even Puyo Puyo Tetris instead? Would expect many people to get several games though, so did some just get Switches without games on them? Seems odd to me.

Wonder how these sales look in the West too, I've been seeing commercials for that Horizon Zero Dawn game e v e r y w h e r e so if they're this close in Japan, could that game top Zelda in its first week?

I believe, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, that Media Create numbers do not include eShop sales numbers so would explain the number of games sold being lower than you might expect.

Post by: Phil on March 11, 2017, 06:56:37 PM: Apparently, the Switch sold through 95% of its initial stock at launch in Japan according to the savvy folks at NeoGAF, so there shouldn't be worry if the numbers next week are way lower.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Oedo on March 23, 2017, 04:40:23 PM: I'm surprised to see Monster Hunter XX come in that far below previous entries, but I think a considerable drop was expected. The writing is on the wall for everybody; not only is this not Monster Hunter 5, it's the second version of a game that already heavily leveraged older content from the series, on a console whose successor may have launched a few weeks ago. At this point, even Capcom is barely trying to hide the fact that they're already working on bringing the series to a new platform. (https://twitter.com/mochi_wsj/status/842871386527821824)
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Order.RSS on March 24, 2017, 08:27:08 AM: 1-2 Switch well past the 100k mark seems pretty good to me? Also enjoy seeing Bomberman in these charts - I hope they can work something out to have him in the next Smash Bros. Not sure if 50k sales is good for the return of such a dormant franchise, but hey.

Also just a question but didn't Japan also have Disgaea 5 on launch for Switch? That hasn't been in any of these charts (yet), gotta assume they were hoping for more. :(
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on March 24, 2017, 10:56:45 AM: Disgaea 5 struggled badly in Japan on its first release as well, I wonder if Nippon Ichi under-shipped it dramatically on Switch as a result.

Overseas sales are going to make/break D5 Complete.

No new releases as Monster Hunter XX and the Nintendo Switch top the charts.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on April 01, 2017, 02:47:34 PM: Imagine what would happen if Double Cross was ON the Switch! Its happening, just a matter of them getting those 3DS sales as well. The 3U release was staggered as well, with the 3DS title coming out in Japan close to a year or so before the Wii U version (and both versions in the West).
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on April 01, 2017, 02:50:37 PM: I would think they'd make another version of Monster Hunter for the Switch, especially if MHXX is selling below the average for the series. But I guess you never know.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on April 01, 2017, 02:55:40 PM: I'm sure they will eventually. I'm just going by precedent (Wii U/3DS) as well as the comments, hints, and signs that Capcom/Devs have put out. And on the flip side, if it is selling less, putting it on Switch as an easy/quick port would help them eek some extra bucks out of the game. It took them a very short amount of time to get their game engine running on Switch, and the assets would easily port over too. It would also be an extra incentive for Westerners to "double-dip" if they bought Generations already, since we have been less receptive to MonHun's iterative nature.

Post by: Order.RSS on April 13, 2017, 05:52:22 AM: Breath of the Wild could still crack the 100k mark on Wii U with a week or two more of similar sales, neat. :) Even if it is getting outsold almost four to one by the Switch version.

A comparison of the Switch and PS4's first 7 weeks.

(https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--rRRTARBJ--/c_fit,fl_progressive,q_80,w_636/tkx87nmfnzkv3xkgxwd1.png)

Switch and PS4 held steady the first two weeks, but Switch is outperforming PS4's pace since then. Granted, the PS4 was able to get out of that initial rut and is currently selling on average 20-30k per week. So it's a marathon, not a sprint.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on April 20, 2017, 09:00:16 PM: The Switch is still in the "selling out as soon as they come in" stage which I think the PS4 got out of a couple of weeks into its Japanese life.

Also, we have NPDs (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/44531/nintendo-sales-panic-march-2017-us-npd-group-results) for March. 1-2 Switch sold about 172k in the US, Bomberman did slightly less, and Skylanders on Switch got outsold by friggin' Binding of Isaac.

Post by: KeyBilly on April 21, 2017, 12:44:23 PM: Third party games made a killing in March. I am embarrassed to admit that I haven't even heard of the top selling game. I think I tune out Tom Clancy games like I do banner ads.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Oedo on April 22, 2017, 02:32:54 PM: In a bit of interesting game specific sales news, Bravely Second: End Layer has sold over 700,000 units worldwide (https://twitter.com/BDFF_OFFICIAL/status/855816134271971328). That's more than I was expecting, since there was a big drop off in sales from Default to Second in Japan. Seems like the overseas numbers weren't as greatly affected.

Hopefully this means we'll get a proper third game in the series at some point!

Post by: Oedo on April 27, 2017, 04:11:36 PM: Seems like Nintendo is making sure that there a lot of Switch units available in North America to go along with the release of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe tomorrow. Hopefully they managed to send out a big shipment in Japan too. I'm glad to hear that it's selling out in Japan and consistently in the 40,000-50,000 range every week, but I wanna see it put up some bigger numbers!

Please tell me this is actually subtitled "Konami the Best", that's amazing. My favourite film of the year was Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales [DISNEY DA BEST UNIVERSAL SUX].

The only new release last week is the Attack on Titan visual novel. Mario Kart 8D is still on top. NeoGAF posits that the Switch is still suffering from supply shortages.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on May 17, 2017, 12:21:04 PM: Switch 288k in April in the US, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 550k including digital in two days (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/44645/nintendo-sales-panic-april-2017-us-npd-group-results)

And yeah, the Switch is still constrained. Apparently one of the suppliers (Japan Supply) is having some issues?

GTAV is ridiculous. It's about to become the 3rd highest selling game of all time.

What are the highest selling games it's competing with? I imagine Pokémon Red/Blue, Tetris, Wii Sports, Call of Duty and maybe GTA San Andreas?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Soren on June 23, 2017, 09:36:08 AM: Tetris, Minecraft and Wii Sports in that order.

Post by: Order.RSS on June 24, 2017, 08:07:31 AM: Huh I always forget about Minecraft, thank Soren! For the longest time I was convinced it was a free download game, but I guess not if they managed to sell so many. Kinda bizarre to think I've never played it, or heck even seen it IRL. Different demographic I guess.

The crazy thing is, the next highest selling game (Super Mario Bros.) sold have as many units as GTAV (40 million vs 80 million). 40 million is, for all intents and purposes, a **** ton of games. Also 21/50 of those games were published by Nintendo, and another 5 are Pokémon games. Skyrim could potentially move past NSMB if it does well on Switch.

Post by: ShyGuy on July 20, 2017, 06:53:58 AM: Hm, I thought Ever Oasis would be popular in Japan.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Order.RSS on July 20, 2017, 09:00:07 AM: Did they really release Pikmin and Ever Oasis in the same week? That seems misguided no, even if you're only mining the hardcore Nintendo audience, they're probably gonna pick the established brand over the new wildcard. Putting out a new RPG against the Final Fantasy juggernaut just reeks of poor decisionmaking imo, at least Pikmin is proper counter-programming to FF.

The other exclusive was Arms for the Switch. What’s especially impressive here is that it sold that well without including any digital sales. Nintendo separately confirmed that its wacky fighter surpassed 256,000 copies sold physically and digitally in June. Mario Kart 8: Deluxe and Zelda: Breath of the Wild sold 180,000 and 145,000 during that same period, respectively.

This shows that Nintendo fans are still buying a ton of software for their newly acquired Switch devices.

“Arms for the Nintendo Switch debuts at No. 5 in the best-seller charts for the month, giving the publisher, Nintendo, three of the month’s top 10 best sellers,” said Piscatella.

Make way for the squid kids. PS4 crosses 5 million. I guess Fate/EXTELLA Switch at 10k isn't too awful for a port?

Post by: BranDonk Kong on July 26, 2017, 08:46:35 PM: Holy ****! 98,999 that's pretty incredible. Hopefully 3rd parties start bringing their A-game, Nintendo already has 4 million+ sellers on their hands.

Post by: ShyGuy on July 27, 2017, 07:19:51 PM: For posterity, here is the Fiscal 1st quarter 2017 results:
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/45048/nintendo-releases-first-quarter-fiscal-results

Hardware sales totals:
Switch: 1.97m in the quarter, 4.7m since launch.
3DS: 950k in the quarter, 67m to date
No changes in hardware projections from Nintendo.

Software sales totals:
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: 3.54m copies
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: 1.16m copies just of the Switch version, 3.92m Switch copies sold to date
ARMS: 1.16m copies
Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia: "Strong sales" but under 1m worldwide

Overall, it's been a strong year for Nintendo, and I think the arrival of Mario Odyssey will keep it going through the end of the year.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Caterkiller on August 17, 2017, 12:36:28 AM: I wonder how much Switch would be selling without supply issues. With those crazy lottery lines in Japan I imagine it will be selling strongly for some time.

What are people expecting? Completely surpassing Wii U's numbers by the end of the first year?

Oh yeah one other thing about these sales that I have to give credit to Nintendo for. How many times since the launch of the Gamecube did we hear about Nintendo making sure there would be no droughts? Then every single time the system would launch and we would go months with barely anything noteworthy.

With Switch I feel like they've totally come through with this 1 major release a month thing. I know some people aren't feeling the enhanced ports like Pokken or Mario Kart Deluxe but boy those things filling in the gaps are so wonderful for me and looks to be pretty wonderful as a whole. I have no idea how long they can keep this up especially when they run out of ports but I suppose if 3rd parties finally jump in that could help.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on August 17, 2017, 12:44:31 PM: Filling release gaps with ports is something the Switch can get away with largely because the Wii U was so unsuccessful that hardly anyone played those games when they were new. It's an unintentional benefit of following up a flop with a hit. It also benefits from the fact that games today have less of a visual difference between generations - the PS4 and XB1 fill their release schedule with "remasters" all the time too. If the Gamecube tried to fill gaps with N64 ports it would have been laughed at - the games would have looked ridiculously out-of-date without a major overhaul.

It is the console that never ends. It just goes on and on, my friend. Some people started playing it not knowing what it was and they'll continue playing it forever just because this is the console that never ends. It just goes on and on, my friend, etc.

Nicely done, Splatoon 2.

Maybe this means Nintendo will start releasing more games in the summer now that they've seen there can be sales success by going so.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on August 23, 2017, 02:24:42 PM: Well Monster Hunter is out this week so I'd imagine they were holding back quite a few units for that games launch. But yeah they've probably blown through the majority of their Q2 stock in Japan so after Monster Hunter, the system will be back into the 20-30k range each week until it gets another bump for Fire Emblem Warriors.

Post by: Mop it up on September 06, 2017, 01:14:57 PM: I sure hope Capcom doesn't consider this a failed test, as MHXX is a late port of a rehash of a greatest-hits rehash. Even Japan has its limits on those, so they shouldn't have expected too much of it. Plus, MHWorld isn't that far off, either.

Post by: Luigi Dude on September 07, 2017, 03:32:31 PM: Looks like Nintendo is doing a much better job of stocking Switches in stock in Japan. I was worried sales would drop to the 20k range again after Monster Hunter week, but they still got around 50k the week after. Now they might get to that range this week and next, but with Pokken and Fire Emblem Warriors coming out later this month, I imagine Nintendo should have another big shipment for those games releases as well. Then of course in October I'd imagine they'll have a massive shipment for Mario.

Hopefully they been able to get a sizable increase in the West during this time as well. July NPD showed us that they only slightly increased the American Switch shipments while Japan got a much bigger increase for Splatoon which they managed to keep pretty steady outside of the week before Monster Hunter. Hopefully the upcoming NPD leaks for August show a noticeable increase for Switch here as well.

Post by: Shaymin on October 04, 2017, 07:29:58 PM: I kind of wonder if ToCS 3 is a canary in the coal mine for Monster Hunter World. Both had sizable portable fanbases drop dramatically in the move to console only.

Post by: Stratos on October 04, 2017, 09:05:32 PM: I'm not normally bitter and vindictive with these things, but I kinda hope it is. Mostly because I'm still a little butt hurt that they either cancelled or postponed a localization for XX because of this game.

Well, if you want to draw comparisons, the PS4 sold a million units in a day when it launched, and it's currently at over 60 million after 4 years.

The Wii's 1st 6 month sales were pure supply constraints, constraints that seem more severe than what's currently going on with Switch.

As it stands, it looks like the Switch may be veering closer to the Xbone's sales, which are about half the PS4's sales.

Between 21 and 49 million? I'm thinking between 30 something and 60 something million lifetime (including revisions) That would put it between the N64 and the NES.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Khushrenada on October 19, 2017, 10:48:12 PM: I think the true test for the Switch will probably be how the Bethesda titles sell on it. If they sell well enough that other third parties feel it is worth putting their games on the system or Bethesda is happy and keeps supporting the system then that could go a long way in boosting Switch's sales as public perception for the console gives people confidence it will have a lot more of the games they like besides just Nintendo titles. If those sales are deemed too low or Bethesda announces they don't plan to release any future titles on the Switch then that could lead to a lot of cooling off of the public's interest in the Switch.

It's doing good so far with a good launch and word of mouth with Zelda, Nintendo has kept their word and has released a lot of titles for it over these past few months and now they have another big one Mario Odyssey to give it another high profile boost over the holidays. If the Switch can pass the Bethesda test as well then I think it should be able to get to N64 levels or higher.

If the Switch does stumble with sales for the Bethesda games, it still has one more way to keep things on track and hopefully make the system still look viable to third parties and that is the mainline Pokémon game coming for it. There's a good chance that is next year's big holiday Switch title. The Pokémon company has been talking about Ultra Sun and Moon recently and that it is the last game they are releasing on the 3DS. It's clear their focus is elsewhere since they are basically just reusing a lot of assets from last year's Sun and Moon in order to get a title out this year. This probably would have been the time for a Diamond and Pearl remake but that would require a lot more development time. Ultra Sun and Moon speeds up the development giving them two years that they can mostly be working on a Switch title. It will be interesting to see how the Pokémon game could affect Switch sales as well.

The Wii's 1st 6 month sales were pure supply constraints, constraints that seem more severe than what's currently going on with Switch.

This is 100% false bullshit. The Wii was averaging around 300-400k while selling out in North America most months on NPD it's first year, while the Switch has been selling around 200k each month sold out. The only reason the Switch and Wii are as close is because Nintendo shipped a lot more Switch at launch then Wii had at its launch, but many of that launch supply for Switch at launch was at the cost of the stock they originally had planned for the coming months. The average monthly supply of Switch units has been half of what they were able to supply with the Wii.

Plus if we're already going to start talking about potential lifetime sales, then why is the Wii the only system to compare it to when we also have the more recent 3DS that is a better comparison for the current gaming climate. The Switch is selling at a faster rate then the 3DS was it's first year and has a much stronger lineup, especially in the West, and this is without a huge price cut that the 3DS needed to save it's ass. That same 3DS is currently at 67 million units worldwide.

Seriously, there's no debate people, the Switch will easily pass the 70 million mark during it's lifetime. If the 3DS could get through a **** launch that required a huge price cut, and some pretty large droughts throughout its lifespan and still be on track to hitting 70 million the Switch will easily surpass it. Hell, with all the hype and momentum the Switch has going into the holiday, the fact the Switch will be the only system Nintendo supports come the end of 2018 and much better third party support especially from the West I wouldn't be surprised if the Switch easily surpassed the 100 million mark by the end of it's life.

And before some people laugh and act like that can never happen, I always love how these same people acting like a Nintendo system hitting the 100 million mark is some impossible task that the Wii only did because of its cultural phenomenon status, and then forget the DS which was out during that same time and never had anywhere close to the same kind of media coverage managed to sell over 150 million units, well over 50 million more then the Wii. Considering the Switch is a hybrid which also makes it a handheld as well, the Wii isn't the only system that it can be compared and when compared to the DS first year, the Switch is well above which it was doing at this time as well.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Khushrenada on October 20, 2017, 12:20:44 AM: The only caveat I have about comparing the Switch to the DS, 3DS is that they have had revisions and different versions released. Moreover, it's not unusual for a person to own a couple of them. I've got 2 DS systems and 2 3DS systems and I'm contemplating buying a third 3DS (though I'd probably ditch one of them if I did that.) Whereas I've only owned one console when it gets released. One Wii. One Wii U. I'd be very surprised to find myself buying a second system. Although some people have talked about having multiple ones in their homes so that they and their significant other can have one, I'm not sure how viable that will be for a lot of people. A family with three kids might be able to scrounge up enough or buy used two or three 3DS systems for their kids but they probably aren't going to buy three Switches. I'm not sure how this hybrid system will affect sales since it is the priciest handheld Nintendo has released.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on October 20, 2017, 02:03:43 AM: I was watching a video Jeremy Parish made about the SNES Classic and he pointed out that the only Nintendo systems since the N64 that he was able to just walk into a store around launch and buy one were the Gamecube, Wii U and 3DS. The 3DS recovered but the other two never did (and imagine if Nintendo hadn't been able to save the 3DS? What trouble would Nintendo have been in if both platforms were flops?)

You couldn't find a Switch in stores for six months. That's a good sign. Nintendo doesn't have a track record of flops that were hot items at launch. Look at the Wii U in the same time frame - if you wanted one you would just go buy one and third parties were already bailing out. The Switch is kicking ass in comparison. And the Switch hasn't even had a Christmas season yet. That will be the big indicator.

I also am very impressed by the sellouts because this is coming after the Wii U which was a frightening bomb for Nintendo. It looked like Nintendo was in big trouble and their rep was severely damaged. But the Switch was selling out. I was afraid no one was going to buy it! This is a big bounce back for Nintendo. At the very least their reputation was vastly improved in really less than a year.

This gen I see the PS4 as the console of choice, the XB1 as an irrelevant dud, and the Switch as the 3DS replacement. Yes, it costs more than handhelds used to but handhelds have changed their target audience. Casual videogame play on the go is handled by phones and tablets - dedicated handheld videogame systems are for hardcore gamers that need something gaming-specific. That audience will pay more for a specialized device. The kid market will also gravitate towards the Switch because of Pokemon.

And yeah, as someone said, Pokemon is the ultimate ace in the hole. That's what ultimately would have saved the Gamecube and Wii U. For whatever reason, and I don't know if it's Gamefreak or the Pokemon Company or what, but proper Pokemon games are handheld-only. It's Nintendo's ultimate killer app that would sell any system but they kept it handheld-exclusive. Well now the console Pokemon is happening because the Switch is going to be the only platform they have.

I can guarantee you the Switch will get similar revisions throughout it's life. With this being their only system going forward, no way they don't milk it for all it's worth. A smaller and more portable friendly version with better battery life, a handheld only one that they can sell at a cheaper price like the 2DS, and even a more powerful version that makes no sacrifices while in handheld mode anymore.

Any kind of revision you can think of will probably happen.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on October 20, 2017, 07:53:48 PM: The PS4 and XB1 both have revisions and they're strictly consoles. It's clear that ticky tacky upgrades to hardware is something the gaming industry wants consumers to accept and embrace. Whether or not this works in the long run remains to be seen but the trend has already been started and it's very compatible with Nintendo's past practices with their handhelds. At the very least you have to expect Nintendo to try some sort of Switch revision because the idea is up their alley and the ground has already been broken for trying it with consoles and handhelds.

If it has sold 7.63 then I've got to think the NA attach rate is higher than 2 million.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 30, 2017, 08:55:45 PM: This was as of September. They sold 1 million within the first month, so that's 6.63 million afterwards, so roughly 1.1 million consoles per month. That would put them at about 8.75 million right now (the 7.63 million is through September) - so they're probably at around 2.5 million in the US right now (at a minimum, I'd say). They're just under 2 million in Japan, so that would mean 5 million or so everywhere that isn't the US or Japan...I imagine US number have actually probably crossed 3 million at this point, based on worldwide totals and Japan. 14 million by the end of the year is Nintendo's forecast. So it looks like 10 months of Switch = more than Wii U lifetime sales. I don't think Sony has anything to worry about, but if the Xbox One X doesn't do anything for Microsoft, then it looks like Nintendo could be at number two for "generation" within a couple years, if they can keep it up. Xbox One has apparently flat-lined at around 30 million consoles, while Sony is going to hit 65 million pretty soon.

2 million copies of Super Mario Odyssey in the first three days is incredible. 3D Mario has never been as big of a seller as the 2D games, but this one's off to a great start.

It's really crazy that's those sales are only in October. Usually Mario games that are released in November at least double their sales in December. Considering this game still has the November and December it should have a pretty huge holiday.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on November 16, 2017, 11:56:36 PM: Numbers seem...off. I speak only for my own experience, but the midnight Mario Odyssey launch was also the midnight Assassin's Creed launch and the midnight Wolfenstein 2 launch. At the store I went to, only one copy of Assassin's Creed was sold and about 35 copies of Mario Odyssey. Granted there are waaaaaay more PS4s out there right now than Switches, and games do sell for more than a 5-minute window...but I'd like to see the actual numbers.

It's worth noting that Evil Within 2 & Wolfenstein 2 were also #s 12 & 13, respectively. Not only does that really bother me as someone who really likes EW2, but one of these games is getting a Switch port & the other possibly could as well. If those games bombed, though, I wouldn't count on those games being ported.

Correct on both counts. The "no digital" rule also applies to Bethesda of the big six 3rd parties, and Sony publishes PSN rankings monthly (https://blog.us.playstation.com/2017/11/07/playstation-store-octobers-top-downloads-2/).

Post by: ShyGuy on November 20, 2017, 09:51:06 PM: Lego Marvel Super Heroes 1 was well regarded, I've only played the demoes for Pokken, but it didn't grab me.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Order.RSS on November 21, 2017, 09:56:41 AM: I've played the original release of Pokkén a bit, not the new version. It's a bit barebones, in the sense that the "story mode" is very repetitive (beat these 8 guys, move up a league, rinse & repeat, with some Mewtwo stuff sprinkled in between).

Your other modes are 1v1 against local player or computer, a training mode, online battles (I think the Switch version also does 2v2 team battles? Could be wrong!), and a quite extensive but boring avatar customisation feature.

Online I found mostly dominated by people who wipe the floor with you in just a few combos before you get your third hit in.
That said, it's very easy to pick up since just mashing buttons will pull off any number of flashy moves. If your kid is interested enough to even learn the moves they'll find a pretty competent fighter underneath the flashy exterior too.

I'd probably ask whether your child doesn't mind doing a lot of the same stuff over and over, is into avatar customisation, and maybe how many of the Pokémon in the game (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pokkén_Tournament#Characters) they like. The selection is decent on Switch, with 21 characters (2 of which are reskins with different moves) and some unusual ones like Suicune and Chandelure which break the mold of bipedal fighters.

If there's a demo on Switch, try that option with your kid maybe. I can't give it a full recommendation outright, but at the same I realise Pokkén was pretty much the dream sequel to N64's Pokémon Stadium for me and all my childhood friends, so maybe a child would really love it.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on November 21, 2017, 06:00:40 PM: I ordered Marvel Super Heroes 2, but I'm not against picking up Pokken Tourney DX as well in the near future.
So I appreciate the input. LEGO Marvel seems more like something I may want to play with her though than a Pokemon game... since I've never played a Pokemon game before.

I'm gonna take her to a store demo again soon as there are a ton more games on it now than last time I saw one.

my previous pic would be updated w/ Skyrim and that Lego Marvel game. I think that's enough for a Switchmas Starter Pack.

Post by: Luigi Dude on November 29, 2017, 03:39:39 PM: The holidays are coming.

If the Switch is doing 145k in the end of November, I wouldn't be surprised if we get several 200k weeks in December or even higher.

Damn if this holds up the Switch version might be able to get around 800k by the end of the year. Combined with the Wii U version which was around 130k before it dropped of the charts, Breath of the Wild could manage to cross the 1 million mark in Japan early next year, which would be the first time a Zelda has done that since Ocarina of Time.

I'd bet the farm they have a new Smash Bros and Animal Crossing out next year which will push the Switch over the PS4 in Japan by the end of 2018. Smash Bros 3DS did over 2 million and Animal Crossing New Leaf over 4 million, so a Switch version of both will be huge, especially for Animal Crossing which hasn't had a new installment in 5 years now so the hype for a new installment next year in Japan is going to be insane.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on December 12, 2017, 09:10:50 PM: Over 10 million sold so far (worldwide). 50%+ attach rate for Zelda, MK8D and Odyssey. 25%+ attach rate for Spla2n.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on December 12, 2017, 10:25:02 PM: Source on those is a Reggie statement to Variety, which leads me to believe those figures are NA (possibly US) specific. Spla2n was at 3.6m shipped WW as of the end of September.

New Yokai Watch Busters game out last week. Also, Nintendo Switch had a real bumper of a week.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on December 21, 2017, 06:51:25 AM: Damn...Switch is potentially on track to eclipse PS4 sales in Japan with the next year or so. Wii U will be surpassed within a few more weeks.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on December 21, 2017, 11:27:39 PM: If the Switch did over 200k last week then it's guaranteed to do the same thing again this week and could have a chance of being even higher since the week before Christmas always has the highest sales for Nintendo systems. If they can get around 300k for this week and get at least 150k for next week then the Switch should surpass the Wii U's total by the end of the year.

Plus Nintendo's own games continue to mostly have solid legs. Even Arms and Pokken are holding on pretty good for the holidays.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on December 22, 2017, 12:03:25 AM: All a matter of how many they can get into the country, quite frankly.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on December 22, 2017, 09:42:47 PM: I saw a ton (honestly probably 20 or so) of them at Target earlier today. They must be restocking as soon as they sell, because it's apparently still selling like crazy in the US. My local Beat Buy had dozens on Black Friday and for a day or so afterwards, but they seem to have sold out now.

Post by: Mop it up on December 23, 2017, 01:20:46 PM: Sales of Wii U have increased the past couple of weeks. It's finally making a comeback!

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 07, 2018, 06:22:38 PM: Wow.... Nintendo is killing it in Japan. Land of the Rising Switch.

Nintendo owns the Top 5 (literally all Nintendo published titles)
Nintendo owns 9 of the Top 10 (8 of those 9 from Nintendo)
Nintendo owns 12 of the Top 15 (11 of those 12 from Nintendo)
Nintendo owns 17 of the Top 20 (15 of those 17 from Nintendo)
Nintendo owns 21 of the Top 25 (The 4 additions are all 3rd Party)
Nintendo owns 22 of the Top 30 (the +1 being another 3rd party)

This is both impressive for Nintendo, but a little worrying as 3rd parties ain't eating like Big N
but I don't know if that's because of selection or quality, just glancing at this weeks chart.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 11, 2018, 10:43:58 AM: Apparently Switch has sold almost 1M consoles in France alone (911k)
this has passed Wii U and is close to passing XB1

Quote from: Resetera (source is subscription site in French)
Switch consoles sold in 2017: 911k (much above expectations)
In comparison, WII sold 703k in 10 months and PS4 650k also in 10 months.
459k Switch consoles sold in November-December
Should reach 1 million at the end of February, as much as the PS4 in 1 year.
507k 3DS sold in 2017
4.8 million games sold in 2017
Super mario Odyssey and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe are both > 500k. Could have been more for Odyssey but there were stock shortages.
Zelda Botw = 410k sold on Switch
Mario + Rabbids = 150k
Third party softwares represent 26% of the games (not specified if switch only or 3DS games are also included in this number) sold in france.

These were the sales numbers of consoles back in March 2017

also in related news, supposedly Japanese retailers cannot place new orders for 1st party Switch games, as their is a game shortage....
https://nintendosoup.com/japans-nintendo-switch-game-shortage-become-much-serious/
Quote
It seems things have become more serious than we initially thought. Japanese video game retailer GEO, which has 1200 outlets nationwide, says Nintendo has completely ran out of certain first party software titles (Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, 1-2 Switch, and a couple more) across all of its distribution centers in Japan. Retailers aren’t able to order any stock as Nintendo doesn’t have them on hand.

Looks like Japan better embrace that digital download.
....and if that happens, can we expect the price of SD Cards to drop more quickly?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Order.RSS on January 11, 2018, 02:31:59 PM: Is France traditionally a big market for Nintendo, or is this news specifically because it is surprising?
I'm surprised to hear Switch being so close to Xbox 1, but not sure if it means the Switch is a runaway success there, or if the Xbox hasn't done nearly as well as expected.

It'd be interesting to see how European countries differ from each other. I imagine Germany being big on driving games like Forza and Gran Turismo, Italy too perhaps. Whereas I'd say that the U.K. would be more into Fifa/Pro Evo sports titles. But France? I think artsy indie titles and stylised cartoony graphics would appear to the French... but yes that's based on nothing but uninformed stereotyping. Don't mean to offend anyone, just taking guesses.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on January 11, 2018, 04:43:29 PM: France tends to be fascinated by Japan and vice versa, which leads to things like Yuji Hori going to anime expos in Paris. It's probably Nintendo's strongest European market.

Post by: Shaymin on January 26, 2018, 10:32:10 PM: The Western version of Monster Hunter World has Japanese text, and the PC version is coming out in the fall for some reason, so the One X version of World is the highest fidelity right now.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on January 31, 2018, 09:26:18 AM: Switch has already outsold the Wii U globally, with ease. 14.86 million consoles as of 12/31 (less than 10 months) vs 13.56 (over 5 years). Software sales at nearly 53 million.
https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/finance/hard_soft/index.html
Other tidbits - Mario Odyssey has sold over 9 million copies (has outsold SW Battlefront 2 on PS4, Xbone, and PC combined).
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sold 8 million copies.
Zelda sold 7 million copies
Splatoon 2 sold million copies

If they can keep the momentum going, Switch will outsell Xbox One within the next year and a half or so.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on January 31, 2018, 02:48:19 PM: The best selling 3D Mario is currently Galaxy 1 at 12.76 million copies. Mario Odyssey is easily going to surpass that number, probably by the end of 2018. It'll be interesting to see just how high it can go in the end. It's kind of funny when you think about it, for years Nintendo thought making 3D Mario more linear like the 2D games was the answer for greater accessibility. I mean this was kind of true since Galaxy 1 ended up selling a million more then Mario 64, but Odyssey is going to end up blowing past all of them.

Hell, it's the same thing with Zelda as well. After Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask they thought gaming was getting too complicated for people so made Zelda games for the next decade more linear with increased handholding. Well now with Breath of the Wild they've done the complete opposite with it being completely non-linear with literally no handholding, and it's already the 2nd best selling Zelda with close to 8 million copies sold if you combine the Switch and Wii U version sales together. By the end of 2018 it'll probably be over 10 million which will be the first time in history a Zelda game has broke that mark. By the time it stops selling they'll be a huge gap between Breath of the Wild and any other Zelda before it.

So rather ironic that in order to achieve the results they wanted, they just had to do the opposite of what they thought.

Post by: NWR_insanolord on January 31, 2018, 03:54:52 PM: I don't think it necessarily means people prefer the series to be the way they are now. I think just being as highly acclaimed as they are, feeling fresh, and being on in-demand hardware combined to get them to where they are. I think after a few years they could pull the same trick by going back to the way they were before if the games are of the same quality and Switch 2 or whatever is selling like hotcakes.

I think it's the practice a lot of companies do where they look at who's NOT buying their product and assume that they can modify their product to attract them and the existing customerbase will stick around.

Mario is a more accessible series than Zelda so all I can think there is that the huge sales of the NSMB games on the DS and Wii were due to the casual audience getting back into Mario as a nostalgia kick. That works for more dedicated gamers, too. NSMB was pretty cool when we hadn't had 2D Mario in over 10 years but seems overly simplistic to be a regular thing, particularly at the the cost of proper 3D Mario. NSMB Wii came out among the Galaxy games. No one knew then that 3D Mario was going to be dormant for a while and NSMB would become the norm. Super Mario 3D Land/World to me is a middleground that doesn't please either group. It's too complicated compared to 2D Mario and too simplistic compared to the full 3D games. Though Odyssey could be doing something similar to NSMB where it uses a design that hasn't been seen for a while so it's getting the same "I haven't played a Mario like that in a while" appeal.

Zelda however is not really that accessible of a series. Yeah compared to some other games it is but by it's very nature it's a complicated series involving puzzle-solving, exploration and non-linear gameplay. I remember with both A Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time getting people I knew to try it out and they quickly lost interest because the game was much more complicated than the linear action games or sports titles they usually play. So trying to make Zelda accessible and linear is missing the point. To get it to the point that those turned off by Zelda's complications would like it it would really not play like Zelda anymore and the less the series plays like Zelda the less interested actual Zelda fans will be. There is a Zelda audience and it is fairly large and they will buy games that have a certain level of complicated and ambitious design. They aren't interested in things being overly simple, linear or formulaic.

You can attempt to grow an audience but you can't take the old audience for granted as you do it.

So following this trend Nintendo is going to make Paper Mario an RPG again and suddenly it's sales will be through the roof! ;)

Post by: Luigi Dude on February 02, 2018, 11:42:22 AM: It's still pretty impressive since the X-com series is non-existent in Japan so there isn't an audience for this type of game, plus the Rabbids were never popular in Japan either.

Plus it's doing better then the last Mario and Luigi for 3DS did in Japan, so it's certainly hitting something with the Mario RPG crowd the most recent games haven't.

Maybe it's like Splatoon where it's a genre that's predominantly Western that the Japanese audience just needs a Japanese company like Nintendo to tweak it to their liking.

If MHW is not planned for the $witch, and the delay isn't to add those extra features unique to Switch, then I can only assume it's because Capcom has been bankrolled by $ony Corp.

It's got Mario in it, that's all they need. Plus Nintendo was involved in the development process so I'm sure they had some suggestions that would help make the game more appealing to a wider audience, which included Japan as well.

I believe I shared this once before, but the rumors are Sony gave a money hat to Capcom with the one caveat of "no Switch version". This rumor broke before the game (or the un-localized XX Switch title) was announced. The second part of that rumor stated that Capcom then went into a panic because the Switch proceeded to explode. So there was an alleged Switch game going into development by the Monster Hunter Portable team that would be considered the true Monster Hunter 5.

Now some of that seemed like it had fan bias, but then the announcement of XX on Switch hit followed quickly by the reveal of World AND that there we no plans to localize XX.

And a lot of signs did point to Capcom cooking something up for Switch. Capcom is notorious for releasing the same MonHun game multiple times with expanded content. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a Switch version of World (Monster Hunter World G/Ultimate) that circumvents the Sony deal because it is technically a new game.

Though really, I just want them to localize XX and take their time building up a new Switch version from the ground up.

Post by: Enner on February 04, 2018, 02:17:01 AM: Even with just a brief time with Monster Hunter World, I have no interest in seeing Monster Hunter XX (Switch) being localized. The changes Capcom made with World were long over due for the series and are what I am looking for after severely dropping off playing Monster Hunter Generations (3DS).

Hopefully Capcom has some special Monster Hunter thing being cooked for Switch. I'm worried that it is far off.

Post by: Khushrenada on February 08, 2018, 01:38:28 PM: Wow. Splatoon 2 is outselling Mario Odyssey. The Splatoon series is really taking off in Japan. First time, I've gone through the chart in awhile so it may not be a fresh observation but it surprised me just now going through this. I'm also surprised to see XC2 rather low in selling at the moment. Especially since XC2 went a bit more anime in its style this time around. Yet, it doesn't seem to be getting much love in Japan. AC:New Leaf. Man, that game is incredible. It just keeps selling in Japan.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on February 08, 2018, 08:55:35 PM: Look at Splatoon 2's sales compared to last week - 18 fewer copies this week (0% change), that's awesome.

Well XC2 is selling slightly better then the previous ones in Japan but that has more to do with the Switch being more popular then the Wii and Wii U were when those games hit. Of course its Western sales are much higher which is why it's the first Xenoblade to cross the million mark so I imagine Nintendo is overall happy with its performance.

Of course you do have to wonder if its sales could have been even higher if they didn't go full weebo on this one. Just being on the Switch alone was going to expose the series to a wider audience, but making it look like the FBI would arrest you for buying it probably scared off quite a few sales as well.

Hopefully they don't do what they did with Fire Emblem and double down on the perverted aspects thinking that's what made the series more popular, when things like Casual mode and improved production values did way more to increase that series appeal then Otaku jerk off bait

Post by: Khushrenada on February 09, 2018, 01:19:37 AM: The XC1 didn't cross the million mark worldwide? I remember that game getting a lot of attention in the PAL and AUS areas before it finally did make it to the West where it basically sold out everyone and was hard to find. I would have thought that game passed the million mark easily with all the Wiis out there and acclaim that it got.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on February 09, 2018, 01:40:29 AM: I would imagine the limited sales of XC1 more had to do with the print being a limited run than due to a lack of interest. They had no intention of making a second print of XC1.

I mean, it may have at this point thanks to virtual console... But I doubt it. According to wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenoblade_Chronicles#Sales), XC1 launched in Japan at 80k sales, and came close to 200k by the end of 2013. Sales estimates for the west appear to put it (slightly?) higher than Japan, but that could still refer to anywhere from half a million upwards.
Add at least another 150k from the n3DS version (but also added cost of having Monster Games port it, add 3D, etc.)... Yeah it would've had to sell pretty well still on Wii U virtual console to pass the 1 million mark.

I think in North America, particularly the United States, it being an understocked Gamestop exclusive probably gave the impression of it selling really well. But maybe it really just was a lower print run. Haven't checked to see how it's faring nowadays in the 2nd hand market, but for a couple of years it would regularly pass hands at well above the MSRP.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 15, 2018, 02:12:48 AM: Now if MHW was dropped day and date on the Switch as well, do you think it would sell nearly this well on both?
or is it best for Capcom to drop it on PS4 first, and then drop the late port on Switch in 4 month to capitalize on double dippers?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on February 15, 2018, 04:05:30 AM: I genuinely believe (or irrationally hope) something Monster Hunter related will be on the Switch soon. The old rumors claimed the Monster Hunter Portable team was working on an alternative title for Switch. We will surely hear something by E3, whether that is Double Cross localization this summer, a port of World, or a new title.

I haven't even seen MHWorld, but what about it would make it not scalable to Switch? Why would it need a lesser, or more portable specialized version?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on February 15, 2018, 02:27:47 PM: The only thing holding it back would be a lack of optimized code or a refusal to reduce the advanced graphics down a notch for performance. Doom and Wolfenstein prove the Switch can handle these high graphic games, but you need a competent team to port it and there are some sacrifices that have to be made.

It could be that their code is so wildly un-optimized that no one could hope to get it running in an acceptable state on the system.

Dragon Ball Fighter Z plus Xenoverse, and a number of Evergreen titles, including the Switch top 3 cluster.

Were the sales of Xenoverse, which released in 2015 the result of Grandma picking up the wrong game for little Jimmy?

"Here you go little Jimmy. Here's your Dragons Ball game"
"But Grandma! This came out in 2015! I already own this!"
"But the young man at the store said this was the only Dragons Balls game they had in stock..."

Post by: Oedo on March 13, 2018, 12:21:59 PM: Apparently they're bringing back the Splatoon 2 Switch bundle in Japan this week, with extra stuff similar to the Splatoon 2 Starter Edition in North America, so Switch will almost certainly break out from the 40-50,000 range it's been in for the last little while with next Wednesday's numbers (although maybe the Nintendo Direct and Smash Bros. hype will help it do that in tomorrow's numbers already).

Congrats to Capcom, their moneyhat reached number one. Nice to see the Bayo 2 re-release made it to the big dance, and I wonder how many of those NBA 2K18 sales were on the Switch?

Was not expecting the new Kirby to still top the charts.

Kirby is huge in the Japanese market. Back on the DS, both Squeak Squad and Super Star Ultra managed over a million each in Japan alone. Then there's Return to Dreamland and Triple Deluxe which managed over 700k in Japan each and even Planet Robobot managed over 500k there.

Considering how popular the Switch is right now and this Kirby is released early in the systems lifespan, I'd say it's guaranteed to at least end up around Return to Dreamland and Triple Deluxe range with the potential to maybe hit the million mark as well.

He should be twice as big as regular Pikachu, just like the amiibo.

(A) Way Out didn't do so hot. Papa EA gonna shoot somebody!
Reportedly, the game sold around or more than million copies and exceeded EA's lifetime expectations for the title. So it looks like EA's happy.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: nickmitch on April 25, 2018, 01:33:54 PM: Pretty sweet numbers for Labo. I wonder if Nintendo will do some kind of promotion in a month or so to get everyone who bought the variety pack to try the robot one. The extra price and time commitment to building the thing might've put some people off buying it in favor of the variety pack.

I want to take a day to do more of the builds, so we'll see when we have a weekend free.

...yes, people are buying the Variety Kit. The Robot Kit not so much either in Japan or NA.

I thought there was a thread but it must have just been discussed in Talkback only when Labo was first announced. There is nothing in the Console Forum section. Feel free to start such a thread.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on May 23, 2018, 08:03:27 AM: Making #4 in April doesn't exactly equate to selling a lot of games. The Walmart nearby still has every intital Labo kit in stock, minus possibly one variety kit.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on May 23, 2018, 12:30:03 PM: I'm not surprised to see the Variety Kit selling better than the Robot Kit, it's what I figured would happen. It seems to have a wider appeal due to its, uh, variety.

If you add in the Wii U number it's already past it. But yes a million seller on Switch alone in Japan would be well-deserved.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on May 24, 2018, 09:19:29 AM: These charts don't show digital for the Switch or Wii U so when you combine it all, it's probably closer to 1.2 million by now. This means it's outsold Link to the Past which did over 1.1 million in Japan. So right now it's probably the 4th best selling Zelda in Japan, behind only Ocarina of Time which did 1.4 million and the NES games which both did 1.6 million.

Depending on the legs these next few years it might have a chance to surpass them all, which is pretty crazy when you think about it. A big reason Nintendo changed the series into a more linear direction with Wind Waker is because they thought the series was too complicated for Japanese audiences, even though most of the games in the series at that time were million sellers already in Japan. The popularity then started to fall in Japan after that and now 20 years later when they go the opposite direction, the series regains its popularity again in Japan and could have a chance of being more popular then ever. All they had to do was literally the opposite of what they had been this whole time.

I would argue that Zelda's complexity is the franchise's hook. This is the series where you play the individual notes on the Ocarina because it's more fun then just selecting a song from a menu. So, yeah, moving away from the core element that makes the series popular in the first place and then watching to sales fall only for them to rise back up when you reintroduce it makes perfect sense. The original Zelda was arguably the most complicated and deep NES game there was at the time of its release. Those that wanted linear gameplay were playing Super Mario Bros and Mega Man.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: segagamersteph on May 24, 2018, 04:44:38 PM: Does the Switch have a chance of passing the PS4 lifetime sales in Japan? If it doesn't does that deflate the argument Japan has abandoned consoles for handhelds argument? Or does the Switch being a hybrid break the rules and no matter how well it does it won't change the narrative?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Evan_B on May 24, 2018, 08:24:58 PM: I think if the Switch outsells the PS4, it should definitely cause some reconsideration about the importance of power and its role when discussing portability. Japan is a portable country. When I lived there, I brought my 3DS everywhere, and I got Streetpass hits in numbers that you would only see at Nintendo-specific events, maybe certain conventions. Every day. If the Switch is going to outsell the PS4, it is going to be because it is portable. But, that also brings up the notion that even a portable device can have relatively impressive tech and a high price level as long as it has enough to justify that notion. Like, the Switch has built-in co-op capabilities. It can also function as a television-based device. Some might argue that the Vita had a lot of the same potential as the Switch, and that's true- it did. But it also had a lot of things wrong with it that negatively impacted its sales- in almost every region except Japan. It couldn't function as well in other markets because it very rarely had a true landmark hit- and even when it did, that game was ported to their home console (I'm talking about Gravity Rush) or had a console version that was arguably superior. Nintendo still has the power of their IP backing them, and they've been quick to capitalize on the recent success and buzz of said IP.

But yes, whereas Vita's library and memory issues were its Achilles' Heel, Nintendo seems to be avoiding that. Seems to be, of course. There's no doubt the Switch had one of the most impressive launch years for a Nintendo product ever- hell, we might be able to extend that comparison to other consoles, too- but it is important that they maintain the momentum. Now, Pokemon and Smash Bros. are going to be able to do that. If they hold off on Fire Emblem and announce an Animal Crossing title, that might make their 2019 good, too. But it does largely depend on how hot they can keep their hot new thing, especially with the daunting announcement of a potential PS5 on the horizon.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on May 24, 2018, 09:47:36 PM: Switch can outsell PS4 this year if they keep it up. As soon as Pokémon is released, that's when Switch takes over, if it hasn't by that point.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on May 24, 2018, 10:04:32 PM: There's not really much left to debate in Japan. The Switch sold 4 million systems in one year and is now only 2.5 million behind the PS4. Nintendo still has yet to release Animal Crossing, Pokemon, 2D Mario and Smash Bros which are bigger in Japan then anything else they've released on the Switch so far.

Assuming Smash Bros and Pokemon both come out this year, the Switch will surpass the PS4 by the end of this year in Japan. Even if it doesn't do it by the end of December, it'll easily pass it come Spring the way current sales are going. Yeah I doubt Sony cares since they've reclaimed the West from Microsoft which is all they cared about, but when it comes to Japan, it's basically going to be a literal Nintendo Land for the foreseeable future. Unless Sony is willing to make the PS5 a hybrid as well, there's nothing they can do to be competitive in Japan anymore. Of course even if the PS5 is a hybrid, as the DS and 3DS show, Nintendo still has the edge when it comes to IP's that the Japanese audience care about.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on May 25, 2018, 01:47:27 PM: It's pretty easy to sum up the brilliance of the Switch. Japan likes portables, the West likes consoles. The Switch is both and gives both markets the product they want.

I think the PS4 will still survive well as a high end console for the Western market. But the Xbox brand is screwed. Sony and MS have such similar products there really is no reason for the two of them to co-exist. The PS3 survived because it could fill the HD console niche in Japan and the Xbox 360 couldn't. But without being the high end console of choice in the West what role does the Xbox have? During the Cube/PS2/Xbox era consoles had enough exclusives that they all had a reason to exist. That's not the case now.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on May 25, 2018, 06:45:41 PM: Thats true. Looking at the non-Nintendo games I am interested in, they are all on PS4. Anything big on XBox is also available on PS4 aside from Halo, and I don't think that will be as much of a draw in the future as it was in previous gens. Its a shooter in an ocean of multiplatform shooters.

Really, the only positive draw XBox has right now is their openness to cross-system play, and that just further means I don't need to get an XBox1.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on May 26, 2018, 07:11:44 PM: Microsoft has never been shy at trying new things to innovate their system. I think they'll keep trying. They will probably have the superior hardware but as long as Sony doesn't get full of themselves again and think they can pull a PS3 again they will stay ahead in the west. Nintendo never worries about what the other companies are doing. They just do their thing and hope others will join them.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: segagamersteph on May 26, 2018, 10:21:53 PM: Microsoft needs to keep the Xbox brand alive for the sake of protecting PC gaming. The synergy between the two platforms is more valuable to them than the actual hardware sales. There isn't currently a true viable alternative to PC gaming in that market but that doesn't stop other companies from trying. They can't afford to lose one of the few things keeping Windows relevant.

Also, Cross Tag Battle came out last week.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Khushrenada on June 07, 2018, 03:35:00 AM: There it is! BotW Switch physical finally crosses the million seller mark. Wow.

It doesn't look like Labo is going to be taking off in Japan at it's current mark and rate of sales.

How high can Splatoon 2 sales go?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Evan_B on June 07, 2018, 08:29:37 AM: I think Labo needs to be a little bit more robust as a line, and that Nintendo kind of blew their load early with the first two kits. If they had released them and whatever kits they have planned for the holiday season (let's be honest, they're going to have kits for the holiday season), they could have generated a bit more momentum.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on June 07, 2018, 12:30:34 PM: Do we know how Labo is selling in North America? My local Walmart's Switch section is jammed to the gills with it. Looks like they've sold like two of them.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: nickmitch on June 07, 2018, 12:57:38 PM: They're stacking up at my local Target as well.

I wonder if it was too early to unleash Labo on people. It's more geared to kids, and I don't think the Switch it quite at "buy for my young kid" level yet.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on June 07, 2018, 04:45:38 PM: Nintendo is hoping Labo will be a slow burn. When Brain Training was first released in Japan, it didn't lite up the sales at first but after months when word of mouth got around it eventually exploded long after it's first release. This is what lead to them deciding to release it in the rest of the world.

The Variety Kit has at least sold somewhat decent according to American and Japanese charts so depending on how kids and families are talking about it to others, sales might improve in the coming months. I don't know anyone with it so I have no idea how the target audience is reacting to it.

It's Octopath's week!
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Order.RSS on July 19, 2018, 01:22:40 PM: Those Captain Toad debuts at 41k and 14k respectively don't seem too great, but on Wii U it only sold 155k after 7 months in Japan according to Wiki. In the USA that version did 250k in its first month alone, but they managed to get it out for holiday season 2014. In Europe and Australia they missed that.

Great number for Octopath, especially since it's apparantly facing shortages at retail too.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on July 19, 2018, 08:49:45 PM: Allegedly they didn't ship enough copies of Captain Toad and it's sold out in a bunch of places in Japan.

or is there just not a good flow of new PS4 games coming out?

Post by: BranDonk Kong on August 02, 2018, 01:20:53 PM: You can see it's outsold PS4 by about 40% this year...still got a way to go if they want to surpass the LTD.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: NWR_insanolord on August 02, 2018, 01:26:05 PM: Japan's been a lot more focused on handhelds for a long time now, and so Nintendo releasing a portable console was huge in Japan.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: broodwars on August 02, 2018, 03:11:30 PM: It's also worth noting that the PS4 also hasn't really had a big Japan-centric game this year outside of Valkyria Chronicles 4. Last year, the PS4 had tons of them, but Japan isn't really the region for God of War or Detroit: Become Human.

Well, a small, little game series that Japan seldom pays attention to called Monster Hunter had a release that was launched this past January in Japan. I don't think it did anything to sales this year, though. :-\

Forgot that came out this year in Japan, mostly because it's not very good. :P

I noticed that. anticipating the day Nintendo is back on top of the market again.
I don't check in here often any more, but seeing Switch up YTD and catching up quickly on LTD is pretty exciting.

Japan's been a lot more focused on handhelds for a long time now, and so Nintendo releasing a portable console was huge in Japan.

I figured it would be. Wii U was a half born idea, Switch is the full evolution of it, so I'm not surprised it's taken off like it has.
Had the Wii U tablet doubled as a portable, it might've sold better. Tech just wasn't quite there to be affordable yet.

That's kinda what I was wondering. Is the Switch killing the PS4 sales, or is the Switch just capitalizing on the PS4 not really having any major new games out. sounds like it might be a combo of both.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on August 03, 2018, 03:23:00 PM: Valkyria Chronicles 4 actually didn't seem to increase sales of PS4 hardware, (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=18481.msg934695#msg934695) but Monster Hunter World did give the PS4 hardware a nice boost back in its first couple of weeks of release. (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=18481.msg932238#msg932238) However, it wasn't as much as Switch was selling in December.

It seems clear the Switch will end up having sold more simply due to being a handheld, but the PS4 has put up respectable numbers for a home console in Japan.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on August 03, 2018, 04:09:52 PM: So any idea what the US, EUR and WW console sales numbers are looking like?

Where does Switch fall in the worldwide market share?
What does this mean for PS5? PS4portable?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on August 03, 2018, 09:53:00 PM: For the same period in which the Switch shipped 17.9 million, the PS4 shipped 19 million (60 million after fiscal 2017, 79m as of end of March). Where the Switch did 1.88m this April->June, the PS4 did about 3m.

North America, Sony's been the best selling platform this year, though Switch has been close. Europe is Sony territory through and through, especially this gen. Japan, well, you see the numbers there.

Whether Sony does something portable or not next gen really will depend on if they care about Japan or not. Considering the PS4 launched in Japan last and it's only gotten worse for consoles, you can pretty much pen in the PS5 as another TV console.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on August 04, 2018, 01:10:04 AM: So PS5 /XBnone is business as usual, and meanwhile, Nintendo will be trying to deliver us a Portable "PS4.25" that plays Nintendo games?

I like where this is headed.
The Dedicated Home Console vs the Portable Home Console

The musou fanbase I think is mostly on the PS4 because it can have more mooks on screen to slice.

Post by: Stratos on October 05, 2018, 12:03:25 PM: Plus Switch already has Fire Emblem and Hyrule Warriors, I'm sure that dampened sales of the Switch versions.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on October 10, 2018, 10:00:57 PM: No Wangnumber or Numberwang yet? What's going on here?! Japan - Super Mario Party was #1 with 142,868 copies. 12 Switch games in the top 20, 1 3DS, and 7 PS4. 45,762 Switch consoles sold this week. Switch LTD in Japan is now 5,179,052 - PS4 is at 7,150,153 (1,971,101 console gap and closing). The biggest winner is Xbox One though, selling 989 consoles vs 75 last week (1318.67% consoles sold compared to the previous week).

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Order.RSS on November 04, 2018, 03:17:33 PM: I'm assuming that list doesn't take the Spider-Man 2018 game into account yet on PS4? Got the impression that one is a huge hit. I don't know how much we can really gleam from these top 10 lists to be honest, like it basically says 'popular franchises are indeed popular'.

Bit more shooting on the Xbox, bit more sports over at PS4. I hadn't realised how much bigger NBA sales are compared to FIFA and Madden, I suppose basketball is the only one of those sports popular in both Europe and North America.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on November 04, 2018, 03:24:21 PM: Yeah that's as-of September. It will be in the top when October's sales are reported...but unless it surpasses CODAW, it will get bumped off the list by Red Dead Redemption 2.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on November 30, 2018, 12:55:52 PM: The PS4 gap continues to close - of these sales keep up (they won't), Nintendo will take the lead within a couple of months (which is extremely impressive considering the PS4 has outsold the PS3 in Japan by around one million units so far).

I have to admit, every time I see the "PSV" I'm like "wtf Japan already has PlayStation 5?!" for like half a second. Microsoft should be happy with the over 500% increase in Xbox One X sales, and the...literally increase of 1 for regular Xbone.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on November 30, 2018, 09:30:37 PM: If anything, December should see the gap shrink even more b/c Smash on top of the usual December boost for Nintendo consoles.

Sony will pull back after New Year's Day, but then normal service resumes...

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on December 12, 2018, 01:19:45 PM: Already overtook PS Vita

Is Switch performing anything close to this in other territories?
next milestone to chase is 3DS launch aligned in Japan.

Anyone have those figures? How does Switch compare to 3DS if they were launch aligned?
or at least during the same months of the same years from launch?

1 more week like this, and Switch would have DOUBLED the PS4 YTD (in Japan)
and then there is still 1 more week left in the year after that.

I wonder what the US/NA, EUR YTD numbers look like

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 11, 2019, 01:07:11 AM: So switch doubled up PS4 in Japan in 2018
and then in less than the 1st 2 weeks of 2019, it's only 500k behind, and averaging 240k+ units a week in the last 2 weeks of 2018 .... had to of sold 110k+ units in the first week of 2019 since the reporting seems to be about 3 days behind.

Very impressive.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on January 11, 2019, 01:38:22 PM: So Switch is at 688,850 behind PS4 in Japan right now. Side note: PS4 has (quite easily) outsold PS3 and Xbox 360 now (91.6 million PS4s sold), and looks like it will surpass PlayStation and Wii within the next several months. It has absolutely mopped the floor with Xbox One, even if you don't count Japan at all (2.34x as many consoles sold) - and Switch will most likely pass up Xbox One at some point this year globally.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on January 15, 2019, 10:10:10 PM: I have no idea how well the Switch is selling in regions other than Japan right now - but if it has increased at the same ratio worldwide as it has since September 30 in Japan, then it would be at roughly 31 million sold worldwide right now. I imagine it's probably closer to somewhere around 29 million worldwide.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Louieturkey on January 30, 2019, 07:46:32 PM: Not even two blockbuster games could help PS4 topple Switch. They pretty much tied for the week. Unless you’re you go by XB1 numbers. Then it trounced it.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: ShyGuy on January 31, 2019, 09:06:33 PM: So, the Switch is up to 32.28 million so far. Almost beats the Nintendo 64, and is gunning for the Xbox One* numbers

*alleged
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on February 01, 2019, 08:50:50 PM: They've sold another 1 million in Japan since these numbers were announced. I bet they hit the original 20 million or come *extremely* close. Also, Switch will surpass Xbox One lifetime sales quite easily this year. It's likely already passed N64 lifetime at this point.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on February 02, 2019, 09:06:33 AM: Oh I take that back, I didn't realize the last 2 weeks were down so much...ok so they've sold nearly 500,000 in Japan since then (assuming another ~50k this week). There could potentially be a shortage in Japan but I would really doubt it given their previous forecast.

Both Smash Bros and Splatoon 2 are ever green enough to eventually do it... or will it just be the next mainline Pokemon game?

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 20, 2019, 02:18:35 PM: With Switch being 444k away from passing the PS3
how many weeks at this current pace till it happens?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: nickmitch on February 20, 2019, 04:33:44 PM: If the current sales difference of 46,247 units holds, the gap would close in about 9.6 weeks.

The 3 week average pushes it closer to 10-11 weeks. This assumes a steady flow and no major releases, hardware shortages or revisions, or I guess new bundles.

It doesn't really have to move many units. Any slight boost it gives the system would push it over since it's so close already. It's kinda funny, when you think about it.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Ian Sane on March 21, 2019, 01:37:08 PM: I remember years ago looking at the PS4 totals catching up the Wii U. It was a strong demonstration of the Wii U's struggles as the gap from its year head start closed.

I would never have assumed that the tables would turn and we'd be seeing the Wii U successor do the same thing to the PS4, which had a head start of over three years and looked like the slam dunk winner of this generation. The PS4 looked like it was going to have PS1/PS2 level dominance at the time and yet its become more a SNES/Genesis kind of fight.

Unless you just see the Switch as the usual dominant Nintendo handheld and the PS4 is the dominant console and this is more like the PS2/GBA timeframe where both systems were dominant but weren't really competing with each other. I don't see it that way though. It made sense to buy a separate console and handheld because they had different purposes. Since the Switch works as both from a purpose-based perspective you only need to buy it alone. Obviously each system has its exclusives but if that's your priority the XB1 is a necessary purchase as well. The Switch's design as a hybrid means that it potentially eats into PS4 sales so unlike a traditional Nintendo handheld it's a direct competitor.

Yep, and that's been a big selling point for me. I'm getting close, in fact, to have already purchased more Switch games than both the Wii U and 3DS combined... part of that is due to apathy for the 3DS, though. I love the freedom the Switch offers.

On note of the numbers.... I just want them to keep going until Smash Bros crosses 3 million in Japan.

Also, congrats to Splatoon 2 for being the first Switch game in Japan to hit 3 million... although how did it jump up so much? Last week it was 29,277 copies away from it.

Last week was Media Create numbers, while this week is Famitsu numbers. Famitsu always had Splatoon 2 numbers higher the Media Create did. Media Create no longer post its numbers to the public so we have to use Famitsu who's numbers for certain games are different.

It really doesn't make sense that it hasn't even been announced. Rockstar ported L.A. Noire to the damn thing, but not their best selling game ever.

If I remember correctly, Rockstar has a feud with Nintendo going back to the GameCube/GBA days, so it doesn't surprise me that they aren't porting one of their own games to the Switch.

Any more details on this? A search didn't turn up anything on a feud between them.

Looking past that era, we did get Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars on the DS... but that was a decade ago.

I think it has something to do with what happened to Body Harvest on the N64. Reddit seems to have something on it.

Post by: Ian Sane on May 16, 2019, 01:47:49 PM: Three years ago when Nintendo was floundering with the Wii U and the PS4 looked like it was going to cruise into being this gen's market leader if you told me the Wii U successor would overtake the PS4 in sales I would have thought you were nuts. This is like a sports team finishing last place in the league and not getting the number one draft pick because they traded away their first round pick winning the championship only a few seasons later.

The morale of the story is that Nintendo has always had the talent to make the games people want to buy. It's usually a matter of them not making the hardware people want to buy usually by lacking industry standard features and focusing on gimmicks with limited practical usage. A controller with a big touchscreen was not a concept that most people would give a damn about - a console that also works as a portable is. The secret to succeeding in the console market is to make great games and not get cute with the basic design of the hardware and hope that developers and customers will "please understand" obvious deficiencies.

The secret to succeeding in the console market is to make great games and not get cute with the basic design of the hardware and hope that developers and customers will "please understand" obvious deficiencies.

The 3DS showed that Nintendo games were still popular with the mainstream public. Hell, Fire Emblem managed to become bigger then ever on the 3DS, despite it being a niche series before. The Wii U was just the perfect shitstorm of everything going wrong. Price was too high, the name and design made some think it was just another Wii add on, marketing was just horrible, and it's big flagship launch title had a cheaper 3DS version released just 3 months earlier.

Of course I still say the last one was the biggest issue for the Wii U. So many of it's biggest games already had 3DS versions released before them. Nintendo was asking people to buy 2 systems with the same games, and when one is cheaper then the other and its games are coming out first, who's going to spend an extra $300 to buy what they already own? Yeah the hardcore will know the difference between NSMB 2 and U, 3D Land and World, Smash Bros For 3DS and Wii U, but nobody else cares. And then when the 3DS also has major series like Pokemon and Animal Crossing and the Wii U has no counterpart for them, it's no surprise why the 3DS was the main Nintendo system for the majority of the world last gen. By the time the Wii U actually got unique titles to finally stand out like Splatoon and Mario Maker, it was way too late.

Of course you have to remember this is Japan as well. As soon as it was announced the Switch was a hybrid it was guaranteed it was going to surpass the PS4 over there. The way Japans society is, a portable device is always going to have a major advantage to a home console only. It was always a matter of when it would pass instead of if over there. That's the thing to remember, the Switch isn't just the Wii U successor, it's also the 3DS successor.

That's the thing to remember, the Switch isn't just the Wii U successor, it's also the 3DS successor.

Yeah this is vital in understanding how to read these sales reports. Worldwide, Switch sales are behind PS4 at a 3-to-1 ratio. There's just no denying that Sony are on an absolute roll with PS4, they're rapidly closing the gap to Wii and even the PS1 lifetime sales - with a device that still regularly retails for 300$.
Heck, Switch hasn't even overtaken Xbox One's estimated lifetime sales yet with about 5 million to split the difference. And this is a market where Xbox One is routinely regarded as a big loser. Now granted, they're fast catching up, but I suppose one could argue that Switch is effectively replacing 2 devices on its own.

I'm not going to be a downer here, but one advantage of splitting home consoles and handhelds, is that one branch can prop up the other. GB/GBC kept Nintendo afloat while N64 was floundering, GBA even more so when GameCube didn't fly off shelves, 3DS kept them alive while Wii U was a moneysink. Now with a single device (Switch) and only a modest presence on phones, if Switch 2 tanks, they have a lot less cushion to fall back on besides 'the Nintendo war chest' (I believe this is why they're diversifying into film, theme parks, etc.)
Now, I think they've justifiably identified that Nintendo's home consoles are risky ventures, while in the handheld space they are yet unbeaten. Combined with the Japanese market conditions, consolidating both branches is the right move if they can produce desirable handhelds. Just hope it won't prove to be a single point of failure in the future.

I think that's a good point in that Nintendo pretty much has all their eggs in one basket now. But I also will argue that before they were spreading themselves too thin. For example I truly believe the Gamecube could have easily been saved if they had released a proper Pokemon console game on it, like not Colosseum but a console version of the "main" handheld series. It was the most obvious killer app but Nintendo has always insisted on the main Pokemon series being on their handheld. That's not the case now with everything in on the same system. Luigi Dude's point about similar games showing up on the 3DS first also won't apply to the Switch business model. Nintendo has often had to support their consoles almost by themselves. They were never that good at it, mostly because it would be hard for any company to be prolific enough to do that properly, but by the time they were making HD games on the Wii U it was clear that the dev times were too long for half their manpower to fill a release schedule. If they get back to that situation at least now they have 100% of their dev teams on board.

And of course in the age of smart phones the strictly-handheld gaming system was not going to be a viable product anymore. They were going to get squeezed out of the handheld market anyway so they found a way to establish a niche in the gaming system market without having the exact same type of product as their competitors. If they still used the same business model I figure the console wouldn't get anywhere because of the Wii U's reputation and the handheld would get creamed by phones regardless of how good a product it was.

Eat gods on the go with God Eater 3 on Switch
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on July 20, 2019, 11:06:18 AM: Switch is gaming for a 1M unit lead YTD in the next 2 weeks at this pace.

what do we predict the LTD lead will look like come Jan 1 2020?
The Switch Lite will be tracked separately, but how well do you expect it to do in Japan?
NSL will surely be the final nail in the 3DS and PSV coffins. But will the NSL go on to do 3DS like numbers making the NSW one of the most successful handhelds/consoles ever?

Post by: pokepal148 on August 18, 2019, 05:05:24 PM: Did DQ5 get a reprint or something? WTF?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Order.RSS on August 18, 2019, 05:38:18 PM: There's a new movie out in Japan called Dragon Quest: Your Story which is apparantly based on DQ5. I guess there were 1857 yet unsold copies still out there which moved this week??

Here's the trailer. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANB1TBs6RRA)

Post by: pokepal148 on August 18, 2019, 09:47:46 PM: Rumor has it that Nintendo stopped manufacturing DS cartridges back in 2016 but it's possible that Square Enix made an order for another batch of DQ5 cartridges before that happened, or it's possible that they got Nintendo to make another batch of cartridges anyways.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Order.RSS on September 14, 2019, 11:24:57 AM: Seems kinda early to drop the Olympics 2020 game, no? The Mario & Sonic one is out in November and that's already early too, right? Maybe they're hoping it'll catch a second wind next July, but I don't understand this move.
Are people really hyped up year-round for the Olympics? I usually pay zero attention to it until like, the day before the Opening Ceremony, if that. And I love the Olympics! They're adding skateboarding this year!
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on September 14, 2019, 01:32:39 PM: They've always done that with the releases of the Olympics games. I guess they figure it's better to try for the sales of the holiday before the Olympics rather than the holiday after it.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on September 20, 2019, 02:06:44 AM: How many weeks till the 1 Million unit lead?

and considering the status of the Switch in Japan.... why wasn't MH: Frozen also released on the NSW?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on September 20, 2019, 11:55:02 AM: Because it was an expansion to an already released game. I'm confident that the next title will be on Switch, it could be a port of the entire Monster Hunter World or a new game. I'm hoping for a new game more in line with the older titles, and that was the rumor just before World was announced: High-end consoles would be getting a revamped and streamlined experience (Monster Hunter World) and the team behind the Monster Hunter Portable series was making a Switch exclusive game with more traditional conventions.

As nice an a port of World/Iceborn would be, I'm hoping for a new game made from the ground up for Switch.

Post by: pokepal148 on September 20, 2019, 01:17:42 PM: I don't think even Panic Button could get World running on the Switch.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on September 21, 2019, 04:20:00 PM: I'm sure they could do it. Its more a matter of why they should bother if Capcom is making a different one for Switch.

Million unit lead by next week.
10 Million sold by.... end of Nov?

Post by: nickmitch on October 10, 2019, 11:37:43 PM: Pokemon will be out by then, so 10M LTD sounds pretty reasonable. The boost from the Lite release will be fading in time for Pokemon and a restock.

Interesting how Lite sales went down and original Switch sales went up during Dragon Quest week.

I imagine since this is an enhanced port, it's appealing to the more hardcore fans that would probably be willing to pay more to have the option for TV play. The audience that would be more likely to buy the Lite probably doesn't feel the need to rebuy a game they already got for the 3DS.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on October 18, 2019, 01:37:54 AM: But think about the week after, when all those poor displaced people saw a bunch of other displaced people huddled around each other playing 4 player Mario Kart.... in the shelter, with no electricity. And other sitting off to the side illuminated by the soft glow of the NSW screen while they played DQXI silently in the dark.

*and for the record.... I have no idea of the effects of this "super typhoon" on the shores of Japan, so forgive my ignorance.

Post by: nickmitch on December 01, 2019, 08:23:19 PM: Stocking Ring Fit Adventure seems like an exercise in futility. It's got significantly larger than normal packaging and may or may not be niche. Could do anywhere from Labo numbers to Wii Fit numbers.

Does anyone know of how to get sales stats specific to Canada? I've always found that Canadians are bigger Nintendo gamers, but it's difficult to find any info to prove this. Usually it's bundled with the US sales.

Not really to be honest, but some quick pointers you might already know about:
-NPD Group (https://www.npdgroup.ca/wps/portal/npd/ca/industry-expertise/video-games/) has a Canadian division. Looks like a small outfit though, and like paywalled. But seems like your best bet?
- Statista (https://www.statista.com/outlook/203/108/video-games/canada) has a bunch of stuff hidden behind a paywall, so can't speak to its veracity or quality. Statista is one of those companies who specialise in the kind of graphics you'll usually see on Business Insider and so on.
- Found a couple of fun background pieces on the Canadian market, like this 2007 report (http://canadiangaming.ca/industry-data/) on industry trends in dollars, this 2015 interview with the Nintendo of Canada general manager (https://www.canadianbusiness.com/technology-news/nintendo-canada-gm-pierre-paul-trepanier-interview/), or this overly cheery PDF from the Entertainment Software Association of Canada (http://theesa.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/ESAC18_BookletEN.pdf) which I think might be calling some of us boomers? I'm definitely offended by somehow.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 06, 2020, 09:22:40 AM: Switch has hit pretty close to the halfway mark of the 3DS

what was both of their release dates? Just checking to see if it's on track to catch the 3DS in the same time frame or not.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Khushrenada on February 06, 2020, 10:23:46 AM: 3DS would have been around late Feb. / March 2011.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 06, 2020, 10:56:01 AM: Switch came out in....?

Where was the 3DS at this point in it's life span?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on February 06, 2020, 12:02:23 PM: Switch released March 3rd 2017. It's going to eclipse the 3DS in less than half the time the 3DS was around at the rate it is going.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on February 06, 2020, 12:48:32 PM: With Animal Crossing coming out soon, the Switch is almost guaranteed to surpass the 3DS. Animal Crossing was the biggest 3DS title in Japan and came out earlier in it's life as well. Nintendo's own data shows Animal Crossing is there most popular franchise when it comes to appealing to woman.

So next month the system is getting the long awaited sequel to the 3DS most popular title, and one that appeals to half the population more then any other franchise. Even if the Switch was tracking behind the 3DS at this point in it's life, it's about to completely destroy that after Animal Crossing comes out.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Shaymin on February 06, 2020, 08:17:58 PM: The only thing that might stop that is the fact that Japanese Switch shipments are slowed because of coronavirus (the Chinese production facilities are shut down right now).

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 21, 2020, 01:37:34 AM: Next week the Switch hits half the units sold of the 3DS

I find it stunning that any game that is capable of being released on the switch (which is likely 90% of them) isn't released on the switch.
The difference between the PS4 and the Switch is almost half of the formers total unit count in Japan and rapidly growing. That's HUGE.

They have released Fe and Unravel which are pretty "Nintendo" as far as EA games go. One obvious missing port is Plants Vs. Zombies.

Animal Crossing has arrived.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Khushrenada on March 25, 2020, 01:09:11 PM: I read a comment from another site that the Switch has now surpassed Wii Console sales in Japan this week. Can anyone confirm if that is true?

Also, New Horizons obliterated New Leaf's opening sales and this is just physical only. No idea how many copies were sold digitally for New Horizons.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on March 25, 2020, 01:15:03 PM: That and I wouldn't be surprised if digital sales will spike because of virus concerns. A lot easier to get your games from home now that shops are closing, Amazon has a month-long shipping wait, and no one wants to catch the virus.

Don't think so yet, if I'm reading this pdf from NCL (https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/library/historical_data/pdf/consolidated_sales_e1603.pdf) correctly they're saying Wii sold 12.75m lifetime in Japan. Numbers are from 2016, was Wii completely phased out by then?

Do we have a read on average digital sale percentages in Japan? I think Pokémon BlackWhite hold the launch week record there with around 2.5m, could Animal Crossing have quietly surpassed it?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Khushrenada on March 25, 2020, 01:55:08 PM: It looks like it was phased out. When you look at the hardware sales for Japan, 2015 shows 0 (which has been rounded up to the closest 10,000 so sales were low) and 2016 has a - mark indicating no sales or nothing being counted. With Switch about to launch in 2017, it probably was phased out at that point. With Switch at 12.8m now compared to Wii's 12.75 final listing, it would seem to verify Switch has now outsold Wii in Japan.

Post by: nickmitch on March 25, 2020, 02:53:33 PM: We might not know the digital sales until Nintendo releases it's year-end results, so it could be a while. They could always announce something like that whenever they want, however.

It's been that way for a while now. New Leaf was by far the best selling 3DS game in Japan. It'll be interesting to see if it can do it in the West as well.

It should easily surpass that. The way sales are going the Switch should be at least 16 million by the end of this year in Japan. Considering popular Nintendo systems get at least 6 years before a successor and the PS5 will be a non-factor in Japan, it's hard to imagine the Switch suddenly crashing in sales after 2020.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 25, 2020, 06:29:29 PM: Damn, almost 400k in a random week in March... or is there a holiday?
That Quarantine Prep Lockdown got Nintendo Switch on the rise. LOL

Honestly, I just bought AC and Nintendo Online for my daughter just this morning.
So I wonder what the NDP will end up looking like for March.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on March 25, 2020, 08:15:37 PM: I imagine there was some form of a sales spike due to the news that Switch stock would dry up for the foreseeable future due to the pandemic causing production issues in China. I almost ran out and grabbed another two weeks back for my sisters upcoming birthday, but she elected for a different gift option (probably because she knows she can use mine anytime she wants :P ).
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: nickmitch on March 25, 2020, 10:41:38 PM: Yeah, I think Nintendo might be selling through their inventory within the next week, assuming they haven't already, and won't be able to fully restock for a while. This is probably screwing up their internal sales projections as well as their ability to schedule releases (probably the reason we haven't gotten a Direct yet).
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 26, 2020, 02:11:25 AM: Apparently China is opening back up for business since they apparently got their **** under control now.

So if the rest of the world will be in panic, maybe Nintendo can continue getting shipment so they can keep flippin' switches.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 03, 2020, 11:28:32 AM: Nintendo is in Xmas session in Japan right now.
I hear the Switch is virtually sold out everywhere in the world and being scalped at high prices right now.

Certain games are on high price resells too, like the switch fitness game that normally cost about $100 going for $300 during quarantine.

Wish I bought some Nintendo stock about a week ago.

Post by: Stratos on April 03, 2020, 12:06:39 PM: Not that much of a difference in the stock price currently. The jump appears to have been in early March. Damn, it dropped hard on March 9th.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 03, 2020, 02:08:43 PM: Good time to buy?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: nickmitch on April 05, 2020, 06:13:50 PM: Maybe? The financials should be out in a week or two, so that would move the needle on the price. Would depend on how you expect the price to move based on the financials.

Post by: Shaymin on April 23, 2020, 08:00:08 PM: Animal Crossing has now passed Sword / Shield and is going to take down Smash probably next week. Mind boggling.

The Trials of Mana remake comes behind New Horizons
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Order.RSS on May 02, 2020, 02:39:45 PM: Three weeks straight of Animal Crossing moving 283k-292k units. Could it be Nintendo is shipping 300k copies every week and they sell out in many places? The past 2 weeks sales on AC have dropped only 1-2% week-over-week. Wonder if it's just very steady demand (people jumping on when their friends do), or if this is the current supply limit.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on May 04, 2020, 01:17:14 PM: It could also be tied to Switch system sales, since the systems are selling out, not many people are going to buy a game for a system they do not own yet.

Seems like a bit of a soft launch for Xenoblade? I don't really know the Covid situation for Japan, are there many shop closures/stay-at-home orders in effect?

Hmmm I went back and looked at Xenoblade's original Japanese launch on the Wii and actually this Definitive edition's numbers match it pretty well. Apparently the original game sold around 80,000 units during its launch week as well.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Mop it up on June 13, 2020, 03:48:53 PM: Yeah, this is pretty typical numbers for the series. The original on Wii was 83,000 its first week, and Xenoblade 2 was 97,000 its first week.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Order.RSS on June 13, 2020, 07:42:31 PM: Huh, thanks for checking y'all. I was under the impression Xeno 2 moved like 2 million worldwide, so I figured the launches would be higher.
I have the original on virtual console, but if handheld performance on the remake is decent I may consider that if I find a deal on it.

It did but the majority of those sales were from the West. The lifetime sales of Xenoblade 2 only did over 300k in Japan. Despite the critical acclaim the Xenoblade series has never really taken off in Japan, which is quite funny when the original almost ended up Japan only.

22.4 Million world-wide since launch. Astronomical numbers, especially if that's just physical copies. It's already the second-best selling software on Switch, past BOTW and Smash Bros., and trailing Mario Kart 8DX by some 4.4 million units.

If Mario Kart 8DX keeps selling, and you combine its sales with the Wii U version, it could outsell Mario Kart Wii one day.

The number is direct from Nintendo, not a third-party like NPD, so 22.4m includes both retail and digital. I think they also mentioned that about half of those were digital sales.

Post by: Kairon on August 07, 2020, 07:59:23 PM: I love the fact that Animal Crossing is a contender to possibly outsell Mario Kart 8 DX.

I am also taking Animal Crossing's success as evidence that Nintendo should find some courage and push a Style Savvy sequel on the Switch.

The Pikmin 3 rerelease comes out on top, followed by the SMT 3: Nocturne rereleases.

Hmmm that's disappointing RE: Shin Megami Tensei 3, I have that one pencilled into next year's budget. Thanks for the heads up, will look into the complaints.

A new model can breath a lot of life into the console. The new consoles may make it tough though.

The new consoles are dead in Japan and will have no impact on the Switch. Sony has completely abandoned Japan for the West and isn't even remotely trying to regain any ground in that country. Japan has truly become Nintendo Land at this point and unless Sony creates a handheld PS5, nothing is stopping the Switch momentum over there.

The Switch only needs another 7 million to surpass the 3DS in Japan. With Monster Hunter coming, the Switch is guaranteed to have another strong year in Japan. If they sell anything close to what they did this year, they'll have the gap down to close to 2 million by the end of 2021. Unless the second half of 2021 is a complete wastland which I find hard to believe since so many Nintendo studio's haven't released anything in 3 or more years now, it's hard to imagine the system performing noticeable worse this upcoming year.

At this point, the Switch will easily surpass the 3DS lifetime sales in Japan. The only question at this point is if it can catch the original DS which will be the much harder number to hit. That will be the one that depends on how long they support the system and will need some new models to extend the life.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on January 07, 2021, 01:16:54 AM: The only thing that can kill the Switch's momentum is the Switch. If the new iteration makes the jump from DS -> 3DS and is counted differently it may never catch it since they are clearly moving to a more iterative model. That or all future iterations of Switch are counted as the same system from a numbers point of view and nothing will ever be able to match it.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 08, 2021, 12:30:10 PM: So the PS5 just FLOPPED Hard in Japan, huh?

Was it the $500 price tag? the size of the unit being practically a 50% slimmer Midsize PC? extremely supply constrained...?
Or is the fact that the Switch is Portable, pocketable, graphically "good enough", and cheaper, just too hard to compete with?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on January 08, 2021, 03:39:33 PM: It's unfathomable to think the PS5 flopped THAT hard in Japan... I'm trying to assume that they really are that supply-constrained (just like they are all over the world?) and that they are also prioritizing other markets.

I know the Japan console market has fallen FAR in priority and significance due to their gaming population's transition to mobile as well as the growing dominance of the major NA and EU markets, but it IS still quite encouraging to see Nintendo having a strong presence there.

This is the main reason. Even though home consoles aren't as popular as handhelds the Wii U was selling better at this point in its life then the PS5 in Japan. The Playstation 5 is no different then an Xbox to them now. The current lineup is mostly Western style games, so what are they suppose to buy?

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 21, 2021, 07:07:15 AM: The race is on!!
Can the NSW hit 20M units sold, before the PS5 sells 400k?
in other words, can NSW sell 2.17M units before PS5 can sell 123k units?

PS5 will have to average at least 11k or more for the next 11 or so weeks
NSW will have to average atleast 167k in sales for the next 13 or so weeks

I'm giving Sony an edge on here. If you want to even it out, bump PS5 to 420k units, both around 13 weeks at around current sales figures. Although I guess a real milestone for PS5 woulda been 500k units sold, but that would take too long... something like 21weeks unless sales actually pick up, which I could assume will happen with PS4 sales slowing down like they are.
(The Real Race = 20M v 500k, place your bets!!!).

Ooooo. I like it. I'll add a poll.

I'm also going with yes. Come on, Nintendo! Release a Direct with hot titles and drive up demand!

Your Poll is incorrect.

The Swtich is aiming to hit 20 Million Units Sold, not 2 Million

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on January 22, 2021, 12:29:08 AM: If it was 20 million before 500k I would say yes. Monster Hunter Rise will be huge over there and probably give the Switch a 300k week at release and several over 150k weeks after. But 20 million before 400k like the poll is for could be tough. Mario 3D World is kind of a wild card since there's already been a 3D Mario released on the Switch, but this game is a different kind of 3D Mario. Is there still a large Mario audience that hasn't bought the Switch yet?

If there is then I think 20 million before 400k is possible but if not, it'll probably fall a few weeks short.

I know it's pretty supply-constrained in the west, but those Japan numbers are really bad and make me think it's something more than Sony just shifting more units to western markets and worrying about Japan when they can get big software releases for that market.

I checked Amazon Japan and they are currently sold out of PS5's. I am not sure about physical retail locations.

While far from scientific, I personally assume that if certain things aren't on Amazon, they're probably in limited stock. I'm kind of stuck assuming that Sony is shipping units to other markets and de-prioritizing Japan. 280K out of the what 3.5M units sold being in Japan feels like a pretty low percentage. Too low to say that's not by design.

I don't think the Switch will hit 20 million before the PS4 hits 400,000. But that's not the real race.

I should've factored that the Switch wasn't gonna maintain such high numbers, and the the PS5 was gonna increase as the PS4 fades... 2M vs 500k probably would've been a better race (that PS5 will still win, bcuz as at current numbers we're talkin 17wks vs 10wks)
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Khushrenada on February 01, 2021, 10:13:51 AM: I was betting on PS5 shortages continuing giving Switch the edge as it has plenty of stock for big sales. Switch pulled off an unusual January feat with having more sales the second week than the first (and the third was higher than the second) in Japan. But it seems there may be more PS5 stock finally reaching Japan which could change the amount sold per week and let it win this little race.

Momotaro Dentetsu has finally abdicated the top spot on the charts. How many weeks straight was that?

It was 11 weeks. I believe it was the most consectutive weeks at number one in 20 years (since Pokemon Gold and Silver?).

The most weeks at number one since game launch:

18 weeks - Super Mario World (November 21, 1990)
11 weeks - Super Mario Bros. 3 (October 23, 1988) - could be up to 20 weeks as data is incomplete.
10 weeks - Final Fantasy V (December 12, 1992)

And it's a sad day as the PS5 has finally caught up to the WonderSwan.

Post by: M.K.Ultra on March 04, 2021, 05:37:49 PM: The Switch did not hit 20 million sold before the PS5 sold 400k in Japan. It was fun watching. Who has another sales race challenge for these two?

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 09, 2021, 10:02:43 AM: It's been extended to 20M v 750k
#movingthegoalpost

I didn't do the math to see how that plays out at current numbers, but 🤷🏿‍♂️

Even better.
Who can guess the closest to the number of PS5 sold when NSW crosses 20M sold?

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Khushrenada on April 08, 2021, 05:05:29 PM: I finally figured out a new poll for us to vote on. Just in case the question doesn't quite make sense, here's the scenario we are voting on. It seems highly likely that total Switch sales will reach 20,500,000 systems sold. Meanwhile, PS5 game sales have been rather abysmal in Japan. I don't think any PS5 games has charted in the Top Twenty games sold in any week since the PS5 launched. Thus, the question and race here is whether users think that Switch sales will hit that 20.5 million mark before any PS5 game manages to rank anywhere in the Top Ten sales at any time during that stretch. A PS4 title does not count even if that title was released on both PS4 and PS5 since the sales chart will list the title separate for both systems. It has to be the sales only for the PS5 version.

All clear or need more clarification? If clear, then place your bets. If not, ask away and I will see if I can better explain it.

Resident Evil 8 comes out in one month and the main series entries still sell hundreds of thousands in Japan. Considering the spikes in hardware sales the PS5 has been getting I have to imagine many have been buying the system in anticipation of that game. Even though there's still a PS4 version, if the PS5 version can't do more then 10k to get in the top 10, I'd really have to wonder just what people are even buying the system for over there. Or if like 90% of PS5 owners are digital only in Japan.

So I'll have to vote no since I don't see the Switch getting an extra 1.3 million units in the next 4 weeks in Japan.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Khushrenada on April 08, 2021, 11:46:07 PM: Oooooo. Spicy! I didn't realize RE:8 was coming out so soon. Never really paid much attention to that franchise. That could possibly be the first big title to galvanize PS5 owners looking to buy something for their system. Yet, the game is also coming out on PS4 so maybe that will slow down potential PS5 sales. Still, with no version coming for the Switch, it would seem that there would be enough sales for the PS5 version to crack the top ten as the only viable ways to play it would be the Sony systems or PC and Japan doesn't seem to cover PC sales in these weekly numbers. I already voted after I created the poll so I'm locked in with Switch winning but now we've got a future date to look forward to that could determine the winners of this poll. And if RE:8 somehow does fail to crack the top ten then this could be a big upset win.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 08, 2021, 11:57:51 PM: I was just gonna ask, well before I place a bet.... I need to know what the PS5 and Switch release schedule looks like for the next 2-3 months.

RE8 is a big release. One I assume is not making it's way to Switch, certainly not any time soon, if ever.

I may have to bet on PS5 this time, as I lost the last bet we set up. Lol

Resi Eight is at the top as Capcom continues to have a very good year.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: M.K.Ultra on May 13, 2021, 06:22:51 PM: Well that settles it. With RE Village in the top ten for PS5 and the Switch shy of 20M we have a clear winner. If you said "No" in the poll above consider yourself a winner!

XBS and 3DS are still neck and neck for the year.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on May 14, 2021, 12:28:56 AM: I clicked the thread, saw the poll, voted... and then scrolled down and saw it was already decided as RE had already come out.... does that still count?

Quiet week as Mario Golf maintains the top spot.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Order.RSS on July 09, 2021, 10:05:16 AM: Japan is starting to look like a very difficult market for Playstation 4 & 5 currently.
Final Fantasy 7 Intergrade, Ratchet & Clank, Guilty Gear Strive, Scarlet Nexus, Winning Post 9, Biomutant, Legend of Nayuta, and the Ninja Gaiden Collection all dropped out of the top 10 within a week.

Since April 4th only Resident Evil 8 spent 5 weeks in the top 10, and nothing besides NieR Replicant and Samurai Warriors 5 has held on for more than 2 weeks.
All of these games (besides Resident Evil) have been outsold by Miitopia, which itself isn't exactly hanging with the usual Switch Big Boys club. Not saying there aren't any Switch games which chart once and never again (Caligula2, Atelier, Famicom Detective Club, etc.), so maybe the evergreen Switch games are just overperforming?

Wonder if other factors are at play too, like hardware shortages? The higher prices of Playstation games? Moves towards digital? Various lockdown measures? All of the above?

I think also in general the current climate for the Japan console market is heavily in Nintendo's favor. I think Nintendo's solidifying most of the remaining local Japanese developer niche support for that market, and doesn't Japan generally just have one big clear winner per console gen usually anyways? Also, the Japanese console market has been famously "dying" for years now, and the PS5 is very much a traditional console compared to the hybrid switch. I think PC is finally making some inroads to Japan (heck, Sony is even publishing their games on PC now right?), and Sony's own focus might be veering more to the bigger super profitable western markets for their console as Japan's market may not offer them a similar opportunity due to it's smaller scale.

Individually I mean, Miitopia does not outsell them all combined. Miitopia sits around 179k, Resident Evil Village on PS4 is at 179k too, but it has another 50k sales on PS5.
The rest of these PS4/PS5 games all sit below 179k: Samurai Warriors 5 at ~66k, Scarlet Nexus at 31k, FF7R Intergrade at ~21k, Ratchet and Clank at ~15k, etc.

Looking into the PS5 hardware sales, they fluctuate week by week, but oscillate roughly between 15 and 20k every week (with some spikes both ways). So maybe they're just supply constrained and selling out every week.
If 15-20k people buy the system every week with 1-2 games each, PS5 software sales just aren't going to spike high enough (yet?) to compete with these Switch evergreen titles which consistently move ~10k weekly for months on end. Might partially explain why a lot of PS5 games trend once upon release and then scatter below the top 10.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Kairon on July 17, 2021, 04:46:22 PM: The PS5 isn't leading in Japan, but apparently launch-aligned globally it's slightly outpacing the PS4, which is a pretty good place to be, right? With the Switch also a launch-aligned sales rival with the PS4, I'm interested how the PS5 will compare to Switch historical sales as it gets more time on the market, and how long the Switch can continue this pace before it sees a decline.

When will the Switch peak hardware sales be? Did it happen already in 2021? Will it be 2022 or 2023? Or is it less a single year peak with following drop, and instead maybe more of a 2 or three year sustained plateau?

Post by: Kairon on July 29, 2021, 07:02:48 PM: So let's say that the Switch "owns" the majority of the Japan console market for the next couple years, minus a couple PS5 diehards due to unique offerings on Sony's platform. How useful is that to Nintendo is terms of garnering third-party dev support?

As we already see, very useful. Nintendo pretty much gets majority of niche and more Japan focused third party titles now and that will just continue. The only exclusives Sony has are the games trying to be Hollywood AAA titles that are aimed more at the West.

This is why we've seen a major shift these last few years that wont change since third parties that cant afford to make a Western AAA style game have to make games for Switch since Sony literally left Japan and the Switch is the only viable system over there.

Minecraft is back on top as 30 Switch games fill the chart.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on August 14, 2021, 12:53:35 AM: It should be noted that this is the first time since 1988 that the entire Top 30 has been from one system. That was with the Famicom which is the last time Nintendo also only had one system. Of course this fact will probably lose important soon when every week starts looking like this.

We used to joke all the time about Japan being Nintendo Land during the Wii/DS era, but Sony still had a strong presence with the PSP during that time. Technically, now Japan is officially Nintendo Land.

Was this another all Switch top 30?
It was! In spot 30 there is Mario Maker 2 selling 3,580 copies. There are almost a million PS5's and no PS5 game can sell better than that?!
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on August 20, 2021, 05:33:34 PM: And to think 2 weeks ago I was gonna suggest another race.

Switch to 21M v PS5 to 1M

But it didn't seem fair.... Looks like switch may just win this one after all.

Post by: Louieturkey on August 21, 2021, 11:22:39 AM: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe looks to pass 4 million by next week or the week after. I think the regular version was the highest selling Wii U game so it’s done well for itself.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on October 16, 2021, 08:18:00 AM: Those Metroid numbers are great when you consider how unpopular the series has been for a long time in Japan. Over 86k is already higher then the lifetime totals to pretty much every Metroid game since Fusion which did over 150k there. So when you include digital sales, Dread has to be over 100k in Japan which might put it on track to eventually surpass Fusion sales as well.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Khushrenada on December 23, 2021, 04:45:00 PM: Redonkulous numbers. 1 game with over 7,000,000 sold, 3 games with over 4,000,000 sold, 4 games with over 2,000,000 sold although 1 of them (Ring Fit) is just about to cross the 3,000,000 mark.

Surpassing the 3DS is the next thing on Switch's To-Do List so it's time for a new poll! I'd have won the last one if it hadn't been for Resident Evil 8. It was the first and only PS5 game to finally appear in the top ten before Switch hit that 20.5 million mark and it dropped out of the top ten the next week. Thanks a lot, Capcom!! That's why I didn't buy Monster Hunter Rise!

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Khushrenada on February 06, 2022, 10:32:28 PM: Well, well, Switch is almost just about a million behind 3DS sales. But it has still been selling a bit better than I anticipated. I chose May as the month it would surpass the 3DS but it could be April if it keeps selling at this pace.

Still Arceus.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Luigi Dude on February 17, 2022, 04:56:31 PM: The fact Switch sales are higher this week then the last 2 weeks, shows that Nintendo is indeed being hit by supply chain issues as well. The fact the launch of Arceus was 99k, the week after was 92k, now it's jumped to 118k, despite no other major releases this week pretty much confirms they selling as many as they can ship each week.

When Nintendo says the Switch still has a lot of life in it, they aren't lying. At it's current rate it's less then 300k behind last years sales which were already a monster for most of the year. Now 2021 ended up selling around 300k less then 2020, but 2020 also had a mega hit with Animal Crossing, something 2021 didn't have that was comparable. That still gave the system sale of 5.3 million in 2021, so if this year has a similar performance, that's sill around 5 million units sold in Japan this year. Of course look at the legs Arceus is having, and the first 3D Kirby could be huge next month since Kirby has had several games that can do over 1 million in Japan alone, so a big jump in the series could spark some major sales as well.

Plus can't forget Splatoon 3 this summer, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Switch might even have the chance to not only come close but even surpass last years sales, depending on how the supply chain issues keep going this year.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 08, 2022, 08:39:49 PM: Looks like time for another countdown.

How many weeks till Switch Passes 3DS for the King of Japan title in most units sold?
It needs 678,342 to take the lead.

How many weeks do you guess? 6? 7? 10?

I'm gonna guess ..9.. weeks. So it will be the 2nd week of May.

I hope so! That's the month I chose for the poll and I was the only one to have selected it. I suppose I could open the poll again but then it will just be a bunch of other users trying to jump on my coattails to victory....

As for your countdown for how many weeks it will take, I find it hard to disagree with your guess but I'll take the chance and go with 8 weeks. With Kirby soon to release and Switch Sports at the end of April then I'll take the chance that those two releases are able to give the Switch a couple sales bumps and help the system beat the 3DS as we just get into May.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: M.K.Ultra on April 21, 2022, 06:20:53 PM: Switch should surpass 3DS in Japan in 2 weeks. The folks who said April and May in the poll should both consider themselves winners.

Last week was Golden Week in Japan, a week-long series of holidays. So it will take so time for the numbers to come in. However, Golden Week also means some massive shopping and sales sprees. With the current Famitsu sales estimate, the Switch's LTD in Japan should have overtaken the 3DS's hardware LTD sales in Japan.

EDIT: Estimate replaced with reported numbers.

Switch Sports at the top for the third week in a row.

Post by: Mop it up on May 22, 2022, 09:34:55 PM: Xbox outsold PlayStation in Japan?! DOOOOOOOOMED!

When was the last time that's happened, if it ever did?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Khushrenada on May 22, 2022, 11:52:06 PM: Forget Switch Sports, this is the real story here!

XBS - 6,225
PS5 - 2,693

What a drop in numbers:

PS5 last week - 24,889
PS5 this week - 2,693

Considering some of those titles at the bottom sell like 1,000 and some copies to just make it into the top 30, maybe an XBox will make it onto the Top 30 now. It's certainly sold enough systems to do so. ;)

I guess we'll be seeing a whole lot of games getting cancelled for PS5 development as the public shows they do not want the system. :smug:
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Khushrenada on May 22, 2022, 11:59:05 PM: Also, congrats to whoever selected April as the month the Switch would surpass the 3DS. I selected May. While the week it happened was from April 25 - May 1 and just barely includes May, I'm going to chalk it up to April as the winner since it likely surpassed the 3DS total sometime during that week before the last day of May 1.

Sadly, when I first put up the poll, I had tried to guess what the figures might be per week and thought May would be the best spot as I was banking on it happening the first or second week of May. A few days later, I noticed I had April selected as my choice. I was confused how I did that so I took advantage of my poll powers to quickly correct my choice to May. If only I'd left things alone and been optimistic of the Switch getting there by the end of April! :'(

Of course, we didn't know about Switch Sports being announced and coming out near the end of April at the time the poll was created. If I had then I'd have been more confident in choosing that month. I think my guess of May would have worked had that game not been released.

When is PS5 price hike happening in Japan?

Post by: nickmitch on September 09, 2022, 12:53:02 PM: I think it's already in effect, but I'm not sure. I don't think the Sony announcement came with an as-of date like the Oculus announcement did.

Considering Splatoon 2 is over 4 million in Japan, the third game will at least deput with over a million, maybe even close to 2 million. I'll predict we'll see about 1.7 million on the physical charts next week.

IGN posted the following based on a GamesRadar report
"Splatoon 3 is off to an incredibly hot start in Japan as the game has sold 3.45 million copies in just three days, outpacing huge Nintendo Switch titles including Animal Crossing"

I'm really interested in what the hardware sales are going to look like. The Switch hardware these last few weeks was already up over what it was last year at this time. If just the hype was causing a spike I want to see what the real deal is doing.

I have to imagine quite a few new players are jumping in with this game. With these team based multi-player focused games, when they become several years old they're more intimating for new players to join. So with a new installment, it makes it much easier for people who were interested in the previous game but didn't buy it to jump in this time.

The 3.45m figure was total sales of physical plus digital, while Famitsu tracks only physical sales. So this current figure of 2.4m is physical sales only.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Khushrenada on January 17, 2023, 10:59:21 AM: Alright. You wanted another sales poll competition, you got another sales poll competition. Last year, the Japanese sales charts saw the top 30 software sold all belong to one console, the Nintendo Switch. Something that hadn't happened in like 30 years. Not only did it happen once, it happened multiple times.

The question is.... will it happen again in 2023? And if so, how many times? You've got 30 days to choose an option. Hurry and place your bets and we'll see how this year plays out. Although there is also the temptation to wait a bit and see what happens during this 30 day period to see if it happens at any point. Just don't wait too long and miss the cutoff.

I voted for 7 months in the poll. There's gotta be some PlayStation games that get in the charts with enough frequency against the aging Switch, right?

Post by: Khushrenada on January 23, 2023, 08:59:37 PM: Ooooo. This seems to have been a popular poll. 8 votes already. These days that's a big vote turnout for the old NWR electoral college.

That's what I'm thinking. Like, the PS5 software situation sometimes feels pretty sparse / dire like Wii U levels as it still hardly has much exclusive software and it feels like long gaps in between when a game releases for the system. Or maybe it just feels like that because of the Switch putting such a chokehold on the chart. Still, a lot of games get released for both Switch and a PS system so a PS4 or PS5 game will likely chart then even if it drops off after a week or two. As long as some third parties keep staying multiplatform then it will be hard to pull off the 30 for 30. Plus, there's over 2,000,000 PS5 systems in Japan now. When is that going to start translating into some PS5 games having some legs? The 30th position just sold 1,640 copies. That's not a lot of software to be sold to make the chart. Which makes it all the worse for PS5 with it being unable to clear that low bar and have Nintendo take all 30 spots.

I've been meaning to check and see how many times Nintendo did pull off the Top 30 year but maybe someone here knows that answer already....?

Quiet week as the PlayStation 5 sells through another 93k systems to Switch's 55k.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 13, 2023, 12:31:08 PM: What is pushing PS5 sales so high the last 2 weeks?
I don't see any games in the top 10.... So is there anticipation for something coming?
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Enner on February 13, 2023, 02:10:05 PM: The members on the Install Base forums are asking the same question. With this many systems, it can't be any heavy scalping.

Thinking on it, a PlayStation 5 is the prettiest and best way to play the Free-to-play game Genshin Impact without investing in a high-spec computer. The same goes for Apex Legends. Also, we might see some strong Hogwarts Legacy sales next week.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Stratos on February 14, 2023, 02:46:19 AM: Maybe the sales could have always been this good if it weren't for the persistent chip shortages in previous years?

The wizard game makes a big splash to the top, as expected when I noticed all the JPN corporate vtubers I subscribe to started streaming the game.

Post by: Khushrenada on February 21, 2023, 08:58:11 PM: For the first time, a PS5 game finally takes the number one spot on the Media Crate sales chart.

It's game over for Nintendo now. Switch is doomed just like everyone said.

Post by: M.K.Ultra on February 23, 2023, 11:19:54 AM: Universal Studios Japan has a Harry Potter area just like the ones in the states so I was thinking that IP was popular there. I wonder how well PSVR 2 will do over in Japan ???

How about them Bustafellows?! And Drainus for Switch!
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Khushrenada on June 04, 2023, 09:56:32 PM: Ugh! Looks like Sony plays spoiler was the correct answer with the way the charts have been. So close to 30 the past two weeks. But that PS4 version of Hogwarts Legacy may keep a Sony game in the top 30 for awhile particularly with the Switch version not happening until November now. I bet if it had been PS5 only then we'd have seen the charts hit 30 out of 30 for Switch by now.

Pikmin 4 debuts at 400K. Switch expected to pass 30 million next week.

Post by: Khushrenada on July 30, 2023, 07:09:11 PM: Pikmin 4 has already outsold FFXVI in Japan.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Caterkiller on July 31, 2023, 05:54:58 PM: Nintendo's sales really are something this generation. Pikmin outselling a mainline Final Fantasy in Japan in it's first week is not something any of us could have imagined back in the day.

I haven't played Pikmin 4 yet as I'm waiting to finish my first(and probably only) run of Tears of the Kingdom. From what I understand about Pikmin 4 though is that it's a bit more open then the first 3 games. I assume that means sand box like or more open ended challenges? I've not read a single review but thats what I hear.

I'm super mega happy with Nintendo's franchises going for a bigger and grander approach lately. Mario, Zelda and Pokemon are finally doing what I've been wanting them to do for ages and while not perfect it seems to be paying off big time. Kirby's 3D approach feels like the old dated corridor 3D platform style but since it's Kirby's first 3D game I'm glad it's here at all. Smash has embraced all of it's history of characters and most of it's stages and that's equivalent to open world Zelda to me.

I know a lot of people don't like the new direction of a lot of Nintendo games but this is the kind of stuff I've wanted for ages. I want it bigger and grander. I can play 3D World in Odyssey and I can play Ocarina of Time in Tears of the Kingdom. I can't play Odyssey in 3D World and I can't play Totk in OoT. I can't imagine too many people look at it that way but the sales this generation speak for themselves.

It also helps that cute is in I suppose. Maybe it's because I'm near 40 and not on the school yard but when is the last time I heard the word Kiddy? Especially when you've got grown aspirin adults running around with Nick Toons all across their shirts.

In 1998, Ocarina of Time was Tears of the Kingdom. The first time I played it I thought it was the most grand ambitious game in the world. You actually play the notes on your ocarina! You can ride a horse! You plant seeds in the past and they grow in the future! But then for a while it was like Nintendo decided that Zelda wasn't going to expand much beyond that, which made no sense to me. I think back to the NES and SNES and us kids tended to regard videogames as an abstraction of a concept that you couldn't quite do with the hardware of the time but as time went on you got closer to it. I liken it to how the graphics in a game would be all pixelated but the characters on the box would be a detailed drawing. My assumption at the time was the box was what it was all supposed to look like, it just couldn't be done so you had to have a pixel art version to convey the general idea.

So I didn't see the old Zelda games as some template to follow but more that they were trying to take the concept of a fantasy world where you travel the land and save the world and put it in videogame form. So Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom just feels like the series getting closer to fulfilling that concept. To keep it to some pre-sized bottle and say "Zelda goes no further than this" just makes no sense.

My assumption at the time was the box was what it was all supposed to look like, it just couldn't be done so you had to have a pixel art version to convey the general idea.

I remember you talking about this topic years ago and it always stuck with me. I more or less thought and felt the same just never put it into words. The disconnect between the art and the games really became apparent with the Gamecube. As much as I loved Wind Waker that's when I noticed that these 3D worlds don't seem as grand or "real" as even Zelda 2. In Adventure of Link I remember coming across these towns with people every where walking around and it just made it feel like a functioning society. If the game matched the art it would probably be like watching a scene from a cartoon.

With Wind Waker, Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword there were these superficial means to make the world seem vast. Lot's of empty and mostly boring space in-between the towns, sky islands, ocean, etc but the destinations themselves never seemed to evolve beyond these tiny little locals that made each game seem dated even back then.

Seeing the homes of the Rito in WW and Zora in TP always broke the immersion for me. Why do they live in these little holes? Why do the vast majority of towns feel so cramped and unlivable? I never expected an open world or even knew what that really was back then but games like Grand Theft Auto 3 had me wondering why Zelda was consistently stuck with us exploring little theme parks title after title.

With BotW and TotK the Zelda series feels genuinely epic again and the world has gladly taken notice. Zelda is a sales juggernaut now.

Post by: Luigi Dude on August 01, 2023, 07:07:46 PM: It's not so much Nintendo stopped being ambitious, it's just they thought people preferred the dungeons and puzzles in the 3D games more then the exploration. That's why each game got more and more linear but the dungeons got bigger with more impressive set pieces through out. Something like Skyward Sword is insanely ambitious for what it was doing, an adventure game filled with motion controlled gameplay and the overworld being one giant dungeon.

This is why even to this day, there are no other 3D games with area's like the dungeons in Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword. Nintendo was pushing the limits with interactivity in large environments and how the gameplay in one area effected the next. This is why when I finally played Okami for the first time 2 years ago, it was a massive disappointment. Seriously, this is the game people had been declaring secretly the best Zelda for years? The dungeons in Okami are all a bad joke compared to any of the 3D Zelda. Even Wind Waker which has some of the weakest dungeons in Zelda, is still lightyears ahead of the crap Okami tries to pass as a dungeon. From a design standpoint, what Nintendo was doing with the dungeons was far beyond what the rest of the industry was making not only at the time, but even to this day.

It's just when another fantasy based adventure game called Skyrim came out at the same time and does over 20 million more in the same holiday season, Nintendo released that what the larger gaming audiences want was difference then what they thought. Before Skyrim, each new Zelda game sold comparable or better then other popular fantasy based games at the time. After Skyrim created such a huge gap, it finally made things pretty clear to Nintendo how to properly grow the series to a larger audience.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Caterkiller on August 02, 2023, 07:34:45 AM: Oh is that right? That makes sense as it was the dungeons and puzzle solving that I originally did like the most. Today I certainly value the complex dungeons as much as I always did but as seeking them out became more linear the series grew stale for me.

Still it's interesting to read that Nintendo's dungeon and puzzle concepts were so far ahead of everyone else's. I don't play much of anything else to know that first hand but what's interesting about that is how bored I became of Zelda puzzles beginning with the Wind Waker and lasting until Twilight Princess.

Naturally Oot and MM's puzzles threw Jr High School Caterkiller for a loop. Link's Awakening for 2nd grade me was like trying to learn a new language lol. I'm sure they were absolutely the most complex puzzle systems for a time as that stuff used stump the ship out of me. By Wind Waker I remember being able to walk into a room and darn near with a single glance I understood exactly what needed to be done. I was conditioned to solve the puzzles before I even saw them. So the simpler puzzles of Wind Waker were a let down but over all the game was very enjoyable at the time.

Twilight Princesses dungeons and puzzles are given so much praise but even then I just knew the answer to everything right away. Push a block, light a torch, guide the water this way and that. It's interesting to hear they were so complex compared to the wider industry but man to this day I find most of them so formulaic I could never bring myself to do a 2nd play through.

Skyward Sword changed all that though. Those puzzles were so fresh and delightful for me. I really enjoyed those motion controls as well because thats what made so many of the puzzles so interesting. Of course those controls turned some people off after the motion craze died down. However I say the over all presentation was just as much of a turn off. Dated graphics, no voice acting(for better or worse) and a super linear, hand holdy progression system.

Now that Zelda is as open as it once was on the NES, has a smidge of voice acting and an art style that doesn't feel super dated gives it more of a premium vibe. It's no wonder this has resonated with audiences. Then for puzzle lovers like me all that stasis and ultra hand stuff littered about the world in small doses was just what the doctor ordered.

The massive audience doesn't seem to come for the complex dungeons alone. Giving people the open air surrounding the story and puzzles seems to be a massively winning formula for now. Zelda has a premium look again.

Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Khushrenada on December 07, 2023, 08:02:28 AM: Well, we are coming up to the end of the year and it is looking like the correct answer for the poll was that Sony plays spoiler and there is no Nintendomination of the charts this year after all with a 30 out of 30 run. Color me surprised. There were a couple times it was so close too. With about one month left to go for reporting, it's looking like my guess of it happening 4 times is about to proven incorrect. Whoever voted for it happening once may still have a shot but Playstation keeps getting more releases every couple weeks to pop up the charts and then quickly work their way down in time for the next release to show up and repeat this cycle to prevent an all Switch reign.

The Mario vs Donkey Kong remake lands at the top of the sales charts.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: Dinar87 on March 04, 2024, 11:58:32 AM: As a Fire Emblem fan, I hope the sales of Engage do not get much higher than the current 1.61 million copies sold. Intelligent Systems needs to learn the reason Fire Emblem is not extremely niche like most SRPGs is because of 3 things...

1. Waifus
2. Good stories and characters
3. Games are high quality

Outside of (maybe) the gameplay, Engage has very little of all 3; the art style is the worst in the series, the graphics aren't much better, frame rate is still 30fps, very bad story and writing, soundtrack is mediocre and forgettable like a lot of recent nintendo games, nostalgia pandering.....

PLEASE I.S.!!! MAKE ANOTHER GAME LIKE THREE HOUSES!!!!!! >:( >:( >:(

Will the administration set up a new poll please :D

I've thought about it but I can't really think of any new sales question right now. Do you have an idea? I suppose there's the question of if you think Switch could surpass PS2 total hardware sales by the end of the year but that's about all I can come up with.
Title: Re: Official Sales Thread
Post by: M.K.Ultra on March 06, 2024, 09:19:33 AM: Switch and PS5 are sort of close in sales for YTD and last YTD. How about which one sells more this year or how many months will the switch outsell the PS5? The 3DS is still on there, so there could be something about the final time it is listed or final sales numbers for it?
