Nintendo estimated to have sold more than 600,000 Wii consoles at launch

VioletFluid disse:
Por acaso lembro-me de ler num site qualquer que é bem menor do que 1 jogo por consola, devido a grande compra que se efectuou das PS3 ser para vender no ebay, ou seja, foram adquiridas sem qualquer jogo.

Não está assim tão mau:
Enterbrain, publisher of Famitsu, has revealed the the tie-in ratio of software to PlayStation 3 sales is 0.98 – less than one game per console.

Isto para o Japão.

Na América:
Wii Game Sales Twice That Of PS3

On average, 3 Wii games were sold for every console, compared with 1.5 for each PS3.

Não muda o facto de que muitas consolas foram compradas para posterior venda, muitas com jogo até; na América em particular, havia lojas que só faziam pré-orders na condição de as pessoas comprarem 1 a 2 jogos para a consola (nessa mesma loja).
 
Nintendo don’t crow about the Wii: Microsoft is talking price wars
Posted on November 28th, 2006 by John Pospisil

Last week was very telling time for the video console industry in the US, with Nintendo making a concerted effort to make sure its new Wii video console made a big impact. And it did. But even as Nintendo congratulates itself on a job well done, Microsoft is already talking about price wars.

(...)

Robbie Back, Microsoft’s current President of Entertainment and Devices at Microsoft told the San Jose Mercury News, Microsoft is in a position to rmake life really difficult for Sony and Nintendo:

“Because we were out there first, we have a bigger installed base of consoles,” he said. ”We can drive down the manufacturing curve sooner and faster. And because we designed a box that was fundamentally easier to manage on costs, we’re going to have that advantage.”

Back also made the observation that what’s important over the life cycle of a console is “who has the cost advantage, who can price most effectively?”

So while it’s good news that Wii may have won an early battle (though MSN did issue a questionable report that Xbox was actually the biggest selling console this past Thanksgiving weekend), both Sony and Nintendo still have a long way to go, particularly with a competitor as big and as ugly as Microsoft.

Price drops?

No fim do dia a caixa "facil de gerir custos" é vendida a prejuizo, a questão é que a Microsoft pode tê-lo à vontade de forma a torná-lo mais competitivo.

EDIT:

Blog do Matt Casamassina (director wii.ign)
5. Wii sales are off to an amazing start. Nintendo blasted through 600,000 units in a week and would have sold more if there were more units in store shelves. As it stands, every new allocation of units that hits retail promptly sells out. Obviously, Sony cannot hope to compete with these numbers because it simply cannot muster up enough PS3s to match Nintendo's supply. But even if it could, for the first time ever, I'm convinced that Wii would still outsell PS3. The momentum has shifted, at least for the time being -- and Wii is the hot item. Sony can't seem to buy good press and Nintendo can't shed it. Meanwhile, everybody who plays Wii loves it and I'm noticing that a wave is building. I stopped by a GameStop the other day to see if they had Wii component cables, which they didn't. I asked how Wii and PS3 were selling and the manager said, "Well, we're sold out of both, but nowadays we get 20 people calling about Wii for every single call we get about PS3." I remember when GameCube launched and I think I would have fallen over if any store manager said something like that back then.

Não fiz nenhuma conta errada.. Simplesmente peguei no total de vendas de jogos PS3 que vinha numa notícia que apareceu uma semana depois de a PS3 entrar no mercado (os tais 75000).
É claro que entretanto se venderam mais e os números mudaram, mas por acaso até é mais justo comparar os números para uma semana de vida em cada uma das consolas.
Neste momento devem estar vendidos uns 3-4 twilight princess por cada jogo PS3, o que não deixa de ser uma comparação "interessante".

Não tem nada a ver com problemas de tradução e se o zero tivesse feito um post de pessoa crescida eu já teria esclarecido isto mais cedo.
 
Japan's Nintendo's Wii game console sells out on first day

OSAKA, Japan (XFN-ASIA) - Nintendo Co Ltd rolled out its new video game console, the Wii, Saturday, prompting thousands of enthusiasts to line up for hours in front of electronics stores across the country before they opened, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported.
The newspaper, without identifying any sources, said in a report in its online edition over the weekend that nearly 400,000 machines had been sold the first day, with many places running out of stock by around noon here Saturday.
Yodobashi Camera Co distributed 1,500 tickets to people waiting at its Akihabara outlet in Tokyo the night before, indicating that the store had sold all its consoles even before it opened Saturday morning.
Similarly, online bookseller Amazon (nasdaq: AMZN - news - people ) Japan ***** took orders for the Wii on Nov 17, before the machine was released, and its entire allocation was quickly snapped up.
Nintendo (other-otc: NTDOY.PK - news - people ) shipped nearly 400,000 consoles, about four times as many as Sony (nyse: SNE - news - people ) Computer Entertainment Inc did for its first shipment of PlayStation 3 machines, but it failed to meet the strong demand, the Nikkei said.

Wii pre-orders reach 30,000 in Australia
Matt Martin 10:14 04/12/2006

PAL region to get units December 7th

Australian consumers have racked up over 30,000 pre-orders of the Nintendo Wii ahead of the console launch later this week.

"We expect demand will outweigh supply and that there will be a few more 'sickies' than usual on Thursday," said Nintendo of Australia spokesperson Vispi Bhopti, speaking to the Herald Sun.

The 30,000 figure is also the amount of Xbox 360's sold in the region in the first four days of launch, which made the Microsoft console the fastest-selling ever for the PAL territory.

Nintendo's new home console launches across Europe this Friday, December 8th.

Impressionante, dado que a Austrália costuma ser um péssimo território para a Nintendo.
 
Alguem sabe quantas mais ou menos vêm para Portugal? Eu sei que é muito dificil ter acesso a esta informação mas alguem que tenha pelo menos uma estimativa?


Já agora, em relação as vendas da gamecube em igual periodo de tempo como se está a dar a Wii? Muito melhor? Melhor? Pior?

Não sei quantas vêem para Portugal, mas se encontrar esses dados meto-os aqui. (ou se alguém os encontrar)

Em comparação com a Gamecube... a Wii tá a vender muito melhor, com muito mais procura e quantidades/unidades muito superiores.

Eis o que encontrei:
THERE'S NOTHING SQUARE ABOUT NINTENDO'S GAMECUBE
- Launched today across Australia

"NINTENDO GAMECUBE launched across Australia today in the wake of overwhelming consumer interest prompting record pre-launch orders.
More than 10,000 NINTENDO GAMECUBEs were reserved with a deposit pre-paid in the lead-up to today's launch, as eager video gaming gurus ensured they did not miss out. "

"Nintendo Australia forecasts sales of 50,000 NINTENDO GAMECUBE units in May alone, with sales of more than 200,000 expected in 2002 following reports from leading retail outlets of 'unbelievable' consumer demand."

News: Nintendo breaking records!
Posted by Gerben - May 9th 2002 10:00


New details have arrised on Gamecubes recent launch over here, and believe me, records have been broken.

We recently reported that 75,000 Gamecubes were sold in the UK in the first 2 days. This gives Gamecube the best-selling launch ever in the UK.

Though figures for Europe as a whole haven`t been announced, it is thought that nearly all of the 500,000 consoles allotted have been sold, which would make it the best-selling launch in Europe ever.

O stock anunciado na altura na altura do lançamento foram 1,1 milhões de consolas para a América, e 1,4 milhões para o japão em 2001. Totalizando 2,5 milhões de consolas em Q4 2001, de notar que a consola saiu mais cedo (em Novembro).

A Wii está a ser apontada para mais de 4 milhões de consolas em Q4 2006.

A consola só saiu em Maio de 2002 na Europa e Austrália. No Reino unido haviam 60,000 unidades pre-encomendadas. Na Alemanha foram vendidas cerca de 50,000 consolas num dia, o total de consolas vendidas no lançamento da Gamecube na Europa foram 400/500 mil unidades. (sendo a consola mais rápida a vender na Europa até à DS sair)
 
Wii Sports Number One in Japan
US, December 4, 2006

Sales totals for the first two days following the Wii's Japanese launch on 12/2 are in. Media Create, by way of Japanese gaming site Game Site EG, reports that the Wii sold 350,358 units over its first two days.

It shouldn't be much of a surprise given the focus of Nintendo's advertising campaign, but Wii Sports was the number one selling game over the two day period, coming in at 176,167 units. Number two was Hajimete no Wii, aka Wii Play. The simple game collection that comes bundled with a second Wiimote sold 175,297 units.

Are you shocked to find that Zelda wasn't the biggest Wii title in Japan? The long awaited revival of realistic Link placed third over the two day period, selling 139,011 units.

Here's how the other launch titles sold:

4. Wario: Smooth Moves (Nintendo, 63,954)
5. Super Swing Golf (Tecmo, 16,908)
6. Ennichi no Tatsujin (Bandai Namco, 10,763)
7. Red Steel (Ubisoft, 9,392)
8. SD Gundam Scad Hammers (Bandai Namco, 9,226)
9. Tamagotchi Pika Pikai Daitouryou (Bandai Namco, 8,042)
10. Elebits (Konami, 5,791)
11. Super Monkey Ball (Sega, 4,423)
12. Crayon Shin Chan (Banpresto, 4,248)
13. Trauma Center (Atlus, 4,107)
14. Kororinpa (Hudson, 2,416)
15. Necro-Nesia (Spike, 1,934)
16. Wing Island (Hudson, 800)

Wii software sold a total of 631,480 units, resulting in a hardware to software tie ratio of 1.80.

While the ratio is much higher than the below 1 ratio that the PS3 faced, Nintendo managed to account of most of the software sales. Heavily advertised titles like Tamagotchi, Elebits and Crayon Shin Chan did not manage to cross the 10,000 mark. For Bandai Namco, this could be a bit disappointing, considering that the first DS Tamagotchi game sold a million units.

Nintendo has promised to ship a million Wii systems to Japan by the end of the year. The Japanese market will also see some big first party titles in a couple of weeks, including Pokemon Battle Revolution. The system and the Nintendo software should sell well, but the big question is how third parties will fare on the typically first party friendly Nintendo hardware.

Parece que a Nintendo no japão acertou em cheio nas "Touch Generations" criadas na DS. :)
 
Eu pensava que o SuperSmash brothers ou lá o que é(aquele de pancadaria, com uma data de personagens), tambem vinha nesta remessa dos primeiros jogos...

Esse tambem é um jogo a comprar aqui para casa :P
