[explodet]

Wario > Mario
Now with numbers!

 

[Deku Tree]

Nice sales for Tales of Rebirth. NOW LOCALIZE IT FOR THE US MARKET plz NAMCO!

 

[krypt0nian]

Sawaru kicking Plumber ass!

 

[Memles]

Wait...did Acid launch in this period?

 

[AniHawk]

MGS 3 will be a million seller before the end of the year, and all was good.

Wait...did Acid launch in this period?

Launched and tanked.

 

[Razoric]

Hell yes... go MGS3!

 

[jett]

AWESOME MGS3!! MGS3 IS AWESOME!!

Americans, LEARN from the japanese, and buy this freaking game.

 

[GSG Flash]

Launched and tanked.

Thank God, maybe that'll teach em not to release a fucking metal gear card game.

 

[Odnetnin]

Wario > Mario
Now with numbers!

mini games > minigames?

so Mario Party 6's numbers are finally up and running? Nintendo must have been worried that first day/week.

and Capcom's up to EXE5 now? Milk kings.

 

[cvxfreak]

Go Pokemon Emerald!

I think Pokemon Emerald > Fire Red > Leaf Green in terms of sales.

 

[cja]

Why haven't you posted the hw numbers yet CVX? I can do the honours if you want

 

[Sho Nuff]

AWESOME MGS3!! MGS3 IS AWESOME!!

Americans, LEARN from the japanese, and buy this freaking game.

"I ain't buyin somethin called 'Snake Eater.' Sounds queer."

 

[djtiesto]

Wow, aside from a Pachislot game this is proof why the Japanese game buying public is so much better than the American one

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Thank God, maybe that'll teach em not to release a fucking metal gear card game.

At the same time as MGS3?!? Do they expect different?

Also, that's hilarious, Sho. :lol

 

[AniHawk]

LOOK! A BEAR!

Those hardware numbers aren't from Enterbrain

Quick and dirty:
11 Jungle Beat GC 46K
12 Gundam PS2 46K
13 Yoshi GBA 45K
14 Super Robot Wars GC 36K
15 Pokemon Dash DS 35K
16 Power Pro Baseball 11 PS2 34K
17 Naruto 3 GC 31K
18 Everybodys Golf PSP 31K
19 Latest Namco Drum Outing 29K
20 Ridge Racers PSP 27K

JB not the complete and utter flop first day sales indicated.

 

[Odnetnin]

PS2: 166k
DS: 143k
GBASP: 67k
GC: 59k
PSP: 47k
GBA: 2.6k
PSOne: 1.8k
Xbox: 1.6k

PSP numbers are a tad low. They still having problems getting product out? I'm going to assume that any supply = sold.

DS = oh gawd. Monster. DS + GBASP = Oh GAWD![/B

5 months and they would combined have sold a million.

GC got a healthy xmas boost too.

 

[Mama Smurf]

JB not the complete and utter flop first day sales indicated.

I guess....but I think we're only removing "and utter". It's still a complete flop.

 

[cvxfreak]

Actually, #15 is Pokemon Dash, not Emerald.

 

[krypt0nian]

Haaaardware?

that's nice. it went from 3k to 46? and number 11? Wow. That's cool. Is that RRPSP LTD sales?

 

[AniHawk]

that's nice. it went from 3k to 46? and number 11? Wow. That's cool. Is that RRPSP LTD sales?

RRPSP and Hot Shots PSP are both about 100k-110k.

Lol, thanks, said it was q&d.

 

[jiggle]

Enterbrain Sales Data: 6 - 12 Dec
PSP Ridge Racers Namco 60,000 60,000 N/A

 

[mashoutposse]

PSP numbers are a tad low. They still having problems getting product out? I'm going to assume that any supply = sold.

PSP was released on 12/12, so that was the rest of the launch week shipment. So that's about 210k; presumably everything that was shipped.

 

[nubbe]

I sure hope EXE5 has some nice legs and hit 300-400k before EXE5 v1.0a comes.
And I would love to see some info on EXE for DS :/

 

[AniHawk]

PSP was released on 12/12, so that was the rest of the launch week shipment. So that's about 210k; presumably everything that was shipped.

They were also shipping an additional 100k for every week for the rest of the month, so by these numbers, the number supplied to retailers should be about 300k.

 

[krypt0nian]

Where did those non-enterbrain #'s come from?

 

[Mrbob]

They were also shipping an additional 100k for every week for the rest of the month, so by these numbers, the number supplied to retailers should be about 300k.

But if you have been reading the official PSP thread it looks like the 2nd shipment hasn't made it out yet.

MGS3 overachieving in Japan and underachieving in NA. Although I do feel MGS3 is due for a big boost in sales in December for NA!

LOOK! A BEAR!

:lol

really quick and dirty twenty-one to thirty.

21 R&C 3 PS2 25K
22 MG:A PSP 24K
23 Wario Turnaround thingy GBA 21K
24 Bandai's white witch RPG PSP 21K

Haaaardware?

From the same source as CVX is using DS 220K, PS2 124K, GBA 88K, PSP 81K, GC 54K.

 

[cvxfreak]

EDIT: Thanks.

 

[krypt0nian]

So far we have either:

PS2: 166k
DS: 143k
GBASP: 67k
GC: 59k
PSP: 47k
GBA: 2.6k
PSOne: 1.8k
Xbox: 1.6k

or

DS 220K
PS2 124K
GBA 88K
PSP 81K
GC 54K



Can anyone clear this up?

 

[monkeyrun]

looks like DS is taking over GBA quite nicely

 

[soundwave05]

Interesting.

In Japan it looks like the DS is eating into GBA SP sales, while in the US, GBA SP hasn't slowed down.

Maybe it's kind of a similar situation to the PSOne and the PS2, here in the US the PSOne still sold for a while even with the PS2 around, but in Japan, everyone just bought a PS2.

The source (linked to at game-science.com) is:

in Japanese but it doesn't matter, scroll down until you see the list of platforms PS2 12.4, GC 5.4, GBASP 8.8, PSP 8.1, DS 22. Now which does this list look most like.

I would call it more of a nibble if the second numbers are to believed...and it's still not much of a drop even with the first.

 

[soundwave05]

Usually towards the end of the year with the Japanese gift giving season, GBA SP numbers are around 100k+ though or roughly equal to what the PS2 is selling.

 

[monkeyrun]

if the second set's correct .. PSP's eating into PS2's sales... :lol

 

[Doogdogg]

Thanks for the numbers. And CVX, that's one fugly icon. I liked the drugged up Oprah pic.

 

[Memles]

Usually towards the end of the year with the Japanese gift giving season, GBA SP numbers are around 100k+ though or roughly equal to what the PS2 is selling.

And still being at 70% at that with two new handheld systems releasing is pretty impressive, and if it's 80% that's even better. Talk to me when it drops to 20 or 30.

Thanks, cja. Having the source handy is a good thing.

 

[jenov4]

You go MGS3! Does this mean MGS4 will come out in Japan first? Because it's selling more over there?

 

[Doogdogg]

Sell more in US overal. oops

Also, games usally sells 60-70% of its power in the first week, usally, for big games in Japan.

 

[soundwave05]

Looks like a nice holiday season all around in Japan though.

Sony, Nintendo, Konami, Square-Enix, Namco, etc. have to be all pretty satisfied with those kinds of numbers.

Or maybe seeing monthly numbers combining before and after launch, compared to seeing weekly data covering a broader time period is hard to compare?

 

[cvxfreak]

Still, you people gotta admit that with the PSP and DS around, GBASP sales are still very impressive.

 

[Deku Tree]

11 GC Donkey Kong Jungle Beat Nintendo 46,000 46,000 N/A

Here's hoping this title has legs so Nintendo gives us more of it (and a much longer game next time)!

 

[soundwave05]

Anyone have GBA SP's numbers from last year at this point (weekly?).

Because generally IIRC GBA usually is doing 100-150k a week as the year end shopping rush ramps up in Japan (generally 1:1 with the PS2 if not better).
