[kaching]

Given the traditional game purchases that consumers seem to buy with PSP (NFS:UR, Untold Legends, Twisted Metal, Ridger Racer) are so low, I'd now be looking at the 180k-200k range.

I'd think that the bulk of the sales to MC3: Dub & Coded Arms were to existing owners, and without those, PSP sales would only be ~380k. I'll normalize it to 430k or so, because some of those would have bought another game if not those. That would still be a drop of 2/3's of the normal PSP sales.

I would think that MC3UB would be considered a legitimate alternative to NFS:UR as much in the eyes of new PSP buyers as existing owners and Coded Arms being the first FPS for the PSP would probably appeal as much to new buyers as well. So I don't know that I'd normalize it as low as you're going.

 

[fresquito]

That's what will happen.

This year for the DS echoes 2002 GC almost perfectly (except with FAR more games for people to ignore).

I´m not that sure it will. There´s a huge difference, and it´s that NDS will have big support from japanese companies, since it´s doing very well in Japan. I see NDS regaining some terrain in the States after holiday season, due to big names, online plan and japanese support. It´s not the same case than with GC, which had no support to begin with, nor in the States, neither in Japan.

Anyway, time will tell.

Oh no, it does not echo 2002 GC. For one thing, decent GC games in the first half of the year, (ED and RE) didn't really fit in with the target userbase. The DS at least has had a few games like Kirby and Wario that very much fit in with the userbase. Also the GC was in 3rd place, whereas at the moment the GBA is 1st, DS 2nd and the psp 3rd in terms of userbase. It's very much a pitched battle right now.

To be honest, looking at the sales for both systems, it seems to me that both systems will inevitibly be treated with the same disdain as the GBA and GC by 3rd party publishers. The psp will continue to get ports from western developers with Japanese support falling away. The DS will get budget crap like the GBA has been getting, although Japanese support shouild be strong. Besides all that though:

The dogs are coming!

[Guy LeDouche]

:lol :lol Oh, Capcom.

Think anything like the "Gamecube 5" will happen next-gen?

 

[MrDaravon]

Did we ever get Atelier Iris numbers from last month at all? Come on ;____;.

RE4 is doing quite nicely. Should hit 600K by the end of the year if not earlier.

God of War LTD: 591,989

 

[Mashing]

Mario 64 is nearly 1/3 of all DS sales. Dammn. That speaks for the pathetic-ness of Nintendo of America right there. This supposedly 'innovative' platform is being pushed by a basic 3D 10 year old port platformer. The nice thing about the PSP software sales is it seems like everyone is getting a piece of the action.

I still stick with my 190K PSP prediction!

All that says to me is that the New Super Mario Bros game is going to sell like gangbusters.

Edit: Man, Nintendo's catalog sales are sick.

Not sure. It depends on how much Nintendo will pay out to Capcom, but I'd bet on a big, fat, "no".

[donny2112]

What the heck? How does a GBA game called "Disney Princess," released over 2 years ago (April 2003) suddenly sell over 40,000 copies?

You weren't paying attention.

March 2005: 49787
April 2005: 28896
May 2005: 25135
June 2005: 30576
July 2005: 41383

It's probably a budget title. Maybe $10?

I'm really surprised at Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town. It's been selling about 8K every month since March. The new version sold about 11K in its first week of release.

 

[Lindsay]

A nice respectable start for the "Girl" Harvest Moon games. ^_^ I question the point of their release though unless that other GC HM game won't be making it stateside?

Thanks as always Bunkum!

 

[jamesinclair]

The cell shaded GC Harvest Moon game is out in Japan already?

I had forgotten about that...

And just as a point of curiosity, but do you guys prefer lists by dollars or units?
Im a fan of units personally.

Actually its really weird.. its 14.99 at gamestop.. We always seem to sell out of them.. god only knows why..

Units, unless dollars really is a better indicatior of how a game did.

AWWW YEAH so close this month!!! Whoooo

I bought a copy, should be here this week.

 

[AniHawk]

Oh Ani XD You're slightly less funny but not nearly as annoying as Drinky.

Hey, I was around for the GC in 2002. It wasn't pretty. I see the same exact thing happening to the DS, and I called it a while ago.

 

[Hero]

Boring month.

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Mmm....legs for Katamari Damacy and Star Ocean 3 as well....

I want Atelier Iris figures!! T_T (thx a lot anyway guys xd)

 

[westical]

What are the hardware numbers? I have $5 I've earmarked for something in particular courtesy of Hero. I bet a fiver that XBOX will outsell GC for the remainder of this year, regardless of a new Zelda.

Chances are looking good now.

 

[u_neek]

Where is Atelier Iris?

And how much is Star Ocean 3 at?

 

[Cheerilee]

N64 LEGEND ZELDA:MAJORA'S $30 4

Why is Majora's Mask $7.50, and why did someone buy four copies of it? (Actually, that second question doesn't need an answer.)

PS GRANDIA $91 9

*cries*

 

[Frankfurter]

First of all: Thanks Bunkum

The DS really has a problem altough I still think we should wait for Nintendogs and Advance Wars in August. They perfectly present what the DS is capable of and they can sell a ton of systems(or atleast Nintendogs, not sure how good AW on GBA did). If I look throw the lists there are only two(perhaps three/four, if you count Wario Ware and Yoshi) already released games that do this(Kirby and Meteos), one obviously isn't successful enough to really sell systems and the other is a puzzler(although I thought Meteos would sell more) and they tend to not sell that much units.

Edit: I have to mention that PSP's software sales aren't that good, also. MC3 and Coded Arms did REALLY good(and I don't understand why ) but all the other games took a quite big bump this month(about 30-50%) and if this would continue(not by that much, but perhaps by another 20-30% in August) than PSP will probably lose another ~20% software sales(as there is only one game released and MC3 and Coded Arms will of course not sell as much units as in their second/first* month).

* Coded Arms was released quite early in the month, wasn't it?

 

[bycha]

Thx, Bunkum.

Let's just wait for Nintendogs. I wonder how will they perform. 150000-200000? More?

 

[AniHawk]

Nintendogs wont do nearly as well as people want it to.

 

[GoutPatrol]

Nintendogs wont do nearly as well as people want it to.

But we can dream can't we?

 

[bud]

Does anyone have the LTD for MGS3?

thx.

The drop this month isn't as big as you make it out to be since June was 5 weeks and July was 4 weeks (a 20% decline in the number of days).

 

[Manjimaru]

Does anyone have an excel file with LTD of all current generation titles ?

 

[Frankfurter]

Nintendogs wont do nearly as well as people want it to.

I really don't want to say that it will definitely sell like billions( ) of units, but just look at amazon.com and see how it performs(right now it is at positions 8, 19 and 37!). Of course that's only a small sign, but it is a sign(and than of course look at this Wedbush Review thing where they said that Madden NFL and Nintendogs are gonna drive the sales of August).

 

[thestopsign]

I asked one of the store managers at my Gamecrazy a few days ago how many copies of Nintendogs were pre-ordered. He said there were 6 people. This isn't one of the bigger ones either. I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendogs sells around 120,000 in it's first month then sell about 150,000 in it's second month. Advance Wars might sell around 35,000 or a little less. Then Madden will sell over 50,000. I don't think Pac n' Roll is going to sell all that much.

The only game coming out for the PSP is Death Jr. I have a feeling that it isn't going to sell all that well. But it might hit 30k-35k. Midnight Club and Coded arms will both sell another 40k. Then I can see the rest of the games taking a hit in sales again. The total software sales might be around 400k. While the DS will up to 450k-500k. The DS hardware will be up around 150k. With the PSP declining to around 150k also.

 

[sprsk]

Nintendogs isnt attracting gamers, thats why there arent any preorders.

 

[Miburou]

Does anyone have the LTD for MGS3?

thx.

933,577 + 19,359 = 952,936

 

[jamesinclair]

Why on earth arent we seeing hardware?


I think Advance Wars will do well, the GBA games sold well enough. A nice start of 60,000 Id say. It will only push hardware to the hardcore though.

As for Nintendogs, Im saying 25,000, 45,000 and 55,000 (the three versions) for a total of 125,000.

Then for September, I see them totaling 95,000. IE: Small drop. Id imagine theyd do less in October, and then go up in November with a spike in December.

Why on earth arent we seeing hardware?

Quote.Also I wonder why bunkum has only access to software numbers?Doesn't NPD release both numbers at the same time?

Because NPD releases separate reports for hardware and software (and I'm pretty sure there's a third for accessories) and he doesn't have access to the hardware report.

All clear thanks

Somebody has to have access. Imagine the long term consequences if nobody knows the true hardware sales for July 2005.

I believe you are missing some important facts. Nintendogs will only be on sale for 4-6 days of the August NPD report, and September is a 5-week month.

The 125K seems reasonable for August, but with more than 5 times the number of days on the market in September + the DS price drop, Nintendogs should not see a decrease in September. Rather, it should have a sizeable increase in September.

Then tell sonycowboy to stop being so tight with his source.
