[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Goemon is a more or less dead franchise, Advance Wars didn't do good on the GBA(so it was clear that it would sell bad), Rockman Exe is - as far as I know - only some kind of port with a useless second/touch screen, Naruto's and Power Pocket Koushien's numbers are ok for me. Full Metal Alchemist perhaps more or less bombed, I don't know(although if I remember it correct, it got scores of about 28 or sth.).
Overall the DS is selling great and first and third party software does the same.

That is actually a good defense (I agree btw), bashing psp is not

 

[Rock_Man]

Naruto RPG and Pocket Koushien never got 200k on GBA iirc.

Power Pro Kun Pocket 5 (GBA) did over 230k in 2003 and Naruto RPG (GBA) over 130k in 2004. Also, Fullmetal Alchemist: Meisou no Rondo (GBA) sold more than 130k last year.

As I said, Full Metal Alchemist DS is a very average game(the GBA game most likely wasn't; and it was of course released with a hardware basis of ~15m), Naruto RPG 2 will most likely sell about 100k, I would say that's ok if you compare the hw basis. If the predecessor sold that well, Power Pocket Koushien's numbers of course are a bit low. On the other hand, I really see no chance for DS software of selling much better in the last month. It already had a very, very good weekly tie ratio and the average handheld owner just doesn't buy 10 games a generation.

 

[Rock_Man]

Yes, but the tie ratio was very high because of the brain training non games. What did the kids buy?

 

[gamewhooper]

What did the kids buy?

Mushi Kings

 

[cvxfreak]

You seem to have so much invested, though, CVX. What's that about?

This is what you get when you're slow at fighting jetlag.

 

[Jonnyram]

Koushien doesn't seem to be that similar to the Pocket-Kun games though. I don't think there's any of the minigames, for starters.

Naruto 3 DS, meanwhile, is up to about 186k total. I also checked my latest Famitsu spreadsheet, and it seems that Wario and Mario 64 DS have been consistently selling 3000 copies each week for the past n weeks, so I hope that clears things up for you. Naruto RPG 2 is around 60k now.

 

[Mrbob]

I stated in the other thread those inflated numbers looked like shipped numbers. Do I get a cookie?

Not until the numbers for this week are released next week.

 

[jgkspsx]

Naruto 3 DS, meanwhile, is up to about 1806k total.

Two million?!
(You meant 180.6, right? Or 18.06...

 

[Socreges]

2) Quite a few people (like me) are waiting for the PSP version to decide which one to get.

I really doubt that made much difference.

 

[dark10x]

1.) Grandia 2
2.) Grandia Xrteme (or whatever it was called)

Those are my reasons for laughing at G3 bombing. I find it is much deserved.

And I only laughed once. And that was mostly at PKMN which is a series I tend to um..love.

Yeah, f*ck them for trying to turn the series around. They deserve failure when they pour their heart and souls into making something as good as G3.

 

[Sindou_Hikaru20]

When come the Hardware sales are coming out?

 

[Fuzzy]

When came the Hardware sales are coming out?

In about 2-2.5 hours.

 

[Dragona Akehi]

Yeah, f*ck them for trying to turn the series around. They deserve failure when they pour their heart and souls into making something as good as G3.

Replace the Grandia team and the Dragon Quarter team and it's much more true/painful. I'm sure Grandia III will still do well-- 100 000 is nothing to sneeze at these days in Japanese charts.

Oh and her opinion sucks. Grandia Xtreme = great and while II is a huge disappointment, it's still better than [insert Square RPG] here.

Why the hell don't the numbers show up on the official site?

 

[cvxfreak]

I wonder that too.

 

[Rock_Man]

Is that a prediction??

 

[Flakster99]

Real deal. Heidern doesn't bullshit with numbers.

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

Wow ... before JSS and red ds.. and DS wtf pwned?

 

[mj1108]

God only knows how well the DS will do with next week's #'s... I remember someone predicting the DS would crack 50k with JSS when in fact it doesn't need it to do it..

Woah almost 50k! and this is before JSS?!

 

[rod]

wait for GTA.

 

[heidern]

Is that a prediction??

Yes, yes it is. Seeing as how my predictions have been fairly close the past few weeks I thought I'd predict with hardcore accuracy this time.

Real deal. Heidern doesn't bullshit with numbers.

Sorry to disappoint. Unfortunately Ani has inspired/gotten to me.
But actually, those aren't bullshit numbers. Those are 100% bona fide real numbers, they are the actual numbers I'm predicting. heh. But I do have a real number for you. Total hardware sales were ~122,000 for the week between all platforms a 10.4% increase over last week according to Dengeki. And wow, I seriously didn't realise I actually have a good reputation on GAF, a videogame messageboard in the internet.
