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.

Media Create Harware Feb 12th - 18th:
Hardware - This Week | Last Week | YTD | LTD
1. NDS - 136,999 | 201,298 | 1,241,148 | 15,246,827
2. WII - 63,618 | 78,550 | 667,096 | 1,586,739
3. PSP - 34,505 | 32,175 | 337,618 | 4,869,747
4. PS3 - 20,676 | 23,431 | 199,410 | 656,968
5. PS2 - 16,192 | 16,033 | 165,629 | 20,320,488
6. 360 - 5,210 | 4,811 | 57,827 | 322,529
7. GBA - 1,836 | 1,900 | 20,545 | 15,318,624
8. NGC - 347 | 383 | 3,806 | 4,173,274

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.

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?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #703 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.

Can someone please translate this sentence into something a simpleminded person such as I can understand. Referring to the things such as MC's, LTD's, and NPD's. Thanks.

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!

The Wii is selling like there's a leprauchan (sp?) inside of it and there's arguing going on.

Let's trash the mess that is PS3, they are trying to turn us against each other with their tactics of high treason! I think Kairon is a Sony spy.

Dun dun dun!

An oversite on my part, I'm often reading two or more different things inbetween/during postings. I was looking at the Japanese LTD and the WW LTD estimates during that post. Sorry

Kind of related to that, anyone care to lay an opinion down on the credibility of nextgenwars.com versus vgcharts.com? I realize both are hardly dead on with their figures, with both being more of a "around here" type of source, but do people prefer one over the other for a particular reason?

Its okay, it happens to me a lot! I'mspeaking one phrase then halfway through change my mind and finish with another phrase. Hence: Kill 'em all + Shoot 'em up = KILL EM UP!

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.

That is most impressive for a PSP game. What is it anyway? A pokemon like game? I wonder how long it will be up there. I wouldn't think it will have very long legs due to the smaller userbase.

Poll

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