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.

...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?

Of course buying 3 games every month is tough, which is why each game caters to the different audiences.

Third parties whose games sold 15,000 units will have the proper perspective I'm sure.

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.

Kairon · « **Reply #257 on:** January 03, 2007, 07:13:23 AM »

In Japan, games have a shelf life of two weeks because hardcore gamers beat them that fast and that resell them in droves to used game stores.

Excepting, of course... non-games.

LOL there's about 200K japernese who didn't see Zelda as a worthy purchase.

Miyamoto was right when he said this was the last console Zelda we'll see of its kind. SALES PROVE TEH PHAIL

Requiem · « **Reply #259 on:** January 03, 2007, 07:38:46 AM »

Well maybe for the Japanese, however, if the US didn't get WiiSports as a pack-in, how many of yall would of bought it BEFORE Zelda and BEFORE even trying it out.

segagamer12 · « **Reply #260 on:** January 03, 2007, 09:05:15 AM »

even after trying it out if it wasnt a pack in I would not have paid for it. Not full price. But thats just me.

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.

Luigi Dude · « **Reply #266 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.

Requiem · « **Reply #267 on:** January 04, 2007, 11:53:13 AM »

Haha....Wow...

For a minute there, I completely forgot how cheap it was to develop for the Wii.

Another crushing blow to Sony!

SixthAngel · « **Reply #268 on:** January 04, 2007, 03:23:53 PM »

I think its funny that the same people who said the Wii wouldn't do well are now saying that they don't think it will have legs. 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.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #269 on:** January 04, 2007, 03:54:39 PM »

I complained about the pack in but now I'm a true believer: Sports was the best thing to happen to the Wii.

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...

Kairon · « **Reply #270 on:** January 05, 2007, 08:20:45 AM »

Gonintendo is reporting through gamefront.de that Enterbrain is claiming more than a million Wiis sold in Japan... but I don't know if this is total up till now or just 2006 numbers.

Likewise, early Neogaf discussions about the latest Famitsu news claim suggest, despite the lack of any numbers at all, that the Wii also broke a million in 2006.

18 of the top 20 games were all on Nintendo systems. Now that is what I call true domination.

NPD Estimates are in and Wii sold more than 360??

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.

News:

Poll

Will Nintendo pull off another 30 for 30 in Japan sales this year and, if so, how many times?
