April 23rd - May 6th 2007 (2 Week) Japan Sales

Nintendo DS Lite - 541,094
Nintendo Wii - 203,842
Sony PSP - 69,032
Sony PS2 - 27,399
Sony PS3 - 25,765
XBOX 360 - 6,367

Sales lead for the Wii is around 8:1 now. The DS Lite is on pace to sell a million units in one month; unbelievable. PS3 sales are stagnant.

------------------------------------------------

March 26th - April 22nd 2007 (4 Week) Japan Sales

Nintendo DS - 496,426
Nintendo Wii - 257,620
Sony PSP - 124,889
Sony PS2 - 56,291
Sony PS3 - 54,357
XBOX 360 - 12,059

Keep in mind that the price for the PS3 in Japan is the lowest anywhere in the world (almost half what the Europeans pay). The month began with a 4:1 sales lead by the Wii over the PS3; the latest week, the Wii outsold the PS3 7:1. Microsoft is a non-factor, and the PS2 is still somewhat popular (although the Japanese have largely abandoned it unlike the US).

-------------------------------------------------------------------

March 2007 US Sales

Nintendo DS - 508,000
Playstation 2 - 280,000
Nintendo Wii - 259,000
XBOX 360 - 199,000
PSP - 180,000
Nintendo Game Boy Advance - 148,000
Playstation 3 - 130,000
Nintendo Gamecube - 22,000

God Of War II leads to another strong month for PS2 sales. Long term, how is Sony going to dig themselves out of this next-generation rut? Price cuts?

-------------------------------------------------------------------

February 2007 US Sales

Nintendo DS - 485,000
Nintendo Wii - 335,000
Playstation 2 - 295,000
XBOX 360 - 228,000
PSP - 176,000
Playstation 3 - 127,000

Sony bet the farm on the PS3, the supposed future of the company's gaming division. If the numbers for February don't tell them something is very wrong, I'm not sure what will.

Meanwhile, Nintendo leased another printing press from the US Treasury because they can't print money fast enough.

January 2007 US Sales

Nintendo Wii - 436,000
Playstation 2 - 299,000
XBOX 360 - 294,000
Playstation 3 - 244,000
Nintendo DS - 239,000
PSP - 211,000

The far and away winner...Nintendo Wii. It has definitely shown its staying power after the holiday season ended, more so than any other console.

Sony execs should be hitting the panic button now.

EDIT:

The ass kicking is even more apparent in Japan.

You mean 'per month'. And the price point helps.

That is where Nintendo market research paid off. Sony was pompous enough to believe their name alone would make people shell out $500+ in droves for their console. Now their product sits on store shelves waiting for buyers.
 
This is per month, the fact that the PS2 is out selling the PS3 is a huge slap in the nuts to Sony.
 
I have been trying for weeks and still can't get my hands on the Wii at any major retailer (I don't feel like paying extra on ebay)...

While I have seen PS3's in stock almost everywhere...

Yea, comparing $130 console with a great library to $599 console is really fair. If you put it that way, well, PS2 outselling Xbox 360 is a huge slap in the nuts to MS. Sheesh, people just love to bash Sony don't they?

Actually those are great numbers for PS3 considering its library is crap at the moment. LOL@OP declaring PS3 a flop. How short-sighted that comment is.

HAHA
 
Unless you want Blu-Ray and a few exclusive PS3 games, I really don't see why you would shell out the extra $$$ over a 360 and/or Wii.

Thanks for proving my point. I would suggest that in your senior year of HS, pay attention to your "intro" to econ. Specifically to the concept of supply and demand. :thumbsup:
