Yeah, good for Nintendo, really, but will these GOD DAMN JAPAN SALES CHARTS STOP GETTING POSTED?

THEY'RE REPRODUCING LIKE RATS

[steviebomb]

Seriously though...good for Ninty, but who really cares?

6:1
5:1
4:1

...and now

3:1

The mag-lev cometh.

Xbox360 = 3,305 (hang in there little buddy) =P

[Razzy]

Yeah really, If they partied when it was 3:1 what did the do when it was 6:1? Orgasm in the street?

[DiLeCtioN]

wii is huge

[Razzy]

It's actually the smallest console ;)

[XxZxX]

at least the number become smaller and smaller

[BubblesDAVERAGE]

The wii is starting to fall off..

[heroman711]

i doubt it. when super smash comes out the numbers will probably be back up there but then again when metal gear solid 4 and final fantasy 13 come out it will be a completely different story

At least PS3 is rising. Last time it was 4 to 1. And remember that Wii has all of its big games like Mario and Zelda while PS3 is yet to get its FFXIII, MGS4, GT5 and others.

[xaphanze]

wii is gay

[unsunghero28]

Ladies and gentlemen, the Wii flamer.

Apparently there has to be one in every post.

[ItsDubC]

Is Wii demand still exceeding supply in Japan? If so, then the Wii selling 3:1 to PS3 vs 4:1 previously would indicate that either Wii production is slowing, PS3 demand is rising, or a combination of both.

[Maddens Raiders]

that's an interesting perspetive DubC. I got two disagrees for the same logic.

Check that 4 disagrees.lol _Bots are a sour crew.

PS3 sales in the report last week? I guess that means Sony's situation is improving over in Japan.

[kn]

It might be that they are shift consoles around different regions to meet demand. It might be better to look at PS3 vs. Wii sales on global basis over the year. I think you can get historical data on vgchartz.

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

Like 3 weeks ago it was 6:1?

[djt23]

Mario Party 8 is unstoppable 9 week come on can some stop it
