Not even a comment?

Well, ok, I'll comment on this chart.

Well kids. Here we have a chart. And Nintendo is beating the crap out of the competition.

Have a nice day!

On a serious note, it's nice to see Jump Super stars has legs, WE also has legs... maybe there's hope for the PSP fans after all? ;)
 
Screwbreaker only at #20? That's unfortunate, it was released just recently, right? :/
Did Famitsu review it yet?
 
Tamagotchi seems to have really good legs.

Btw. we haven't got the daily charts for the 22th, have we (important for the new games like Gundam)?

Screw Breaker [Drill Dozer] (GBA, Nintendo): 8 / 9 / 8 / 8 - (33/40)

Nice score, sad to see it being overlooked with people buying a re-re-release of a 20 year old game instead. :|
 
No wonder Nintendo stick to the tried and tested franchises - It is rare for them that a new franchise (Screwbreaker) performs well at the box office.

Brain Training and Nintendogs say hi.

It's just hard to create a game that appeals to a lot of people. You gotta satisfy everyone with different games that won't perform well.

It's doubly sad given it's GF's first non-Pokemon game in about a decade. Plus it looks fucking fantatsic. :(
 
People need to buy Screwbreaker! I'm getting into it now and it's pretty darn fun! It started off a bit slow as they introduced the play mechanics to you. But once you get into it it's really great.

Yeah, that makes it even more sad. From what I played before it seemed like a really cool and enjoyable game. I guess this means the chance of seeing another non-Pokemon game from GF is even smaller than it was before. :|

Is it possible that it sold out on day one?
Click to expand...

Yeah, maybe I'm being a bit too dramatic...guess we'll see soon enough. But #20 doesn't feel promising at least.
 
i agree, screwbreaker looks excellent! but its sales are :(

Just curious here, but would the chart be much different if we also had a monthly chart? It seems like Nintendo kicks ass during weekly/daily charts, but at the end of the month its still likely that more PS2 games will be in the monthly top ten than we realise.

Meaning this is all fun and everything, but in the grand scheme of things, its not the full picture is it.

I have no idea how that would even begin to make sense.

For example in August a monthly top 10 has 5 PS2 titles, 4 DS titles and one GBA title.

I know, because I use weekly sales to calculate a Japan top 10, starting from August.
 
Good to see DS sales still going strong. It's also impressive to see so many PSP titles in the top 20

I have a feeling the this weeks numbers show DS ahead again.

I was under the assumption that these charts were constructed and provided from a legitimate and official source, reflecting the performance of game sales in Japan. What you're proposing is that someone should arrange an unofficial "monthly" chart based on the data gathered by the daily/weeky ones, for the sole purpose of giving the "full picture."

It doesn't make sense.
 
I can't believe a game I was playing 20 years ago is number 1 in the charts. I'm actually not upset over it, i'm kinda glad that people can still appreciate games that I liked as a kid.

Screw Breaker was a good bit of fun at E3. Definitely a shame it's selling so poorly there.. can't imagine it'll do all that well in the US either.

Most recent ones have done well Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Nintendogs, Brain Training....
 
What do you mean it doesnt make sense? Don't you guys have the ability to think straight or what?

I ask because in an issue of Gamesmaster (UK mag) it has Japans sales chart for the month and it was very different from the story told in these daily/weekly charts.
certainly nowhere near the same level of Nintendo dominance (in the top ten at least). If you can't figure that out you need to review your perception of sales figures.

One game can spend 1 week in the top 5 and sell 150,000 whilst one can spend 3 weeks in the top 5 and sell significantly less.

Another example, on any given Thursday a game might be released and sell 200,000 on its first day and for the rest of the week it can be sold out, and still top the weekly chart despite having zero presence for 6 days.

*sigh*

How on earth does that not make sense?

The concept itself makes sense. I just don't see the point, when you have a more accurate break-down of sales and rank on a daily and weekly basis. Do the math based on the media create numbers that are released every week, if it pleases you.

We don´t follow the daily charts to get accuracy. We use them to get sales information as early as possible. Some of us just can´t wait for Media Create.
 
So, it doesn't seem like the PSP got much momentum from last week sales considering the new PSP titles are pretty low on the charts. I don't understand how the DS/GBA games have much more staying power than the PSP titles. Might have something to do with Sony's strategy of an all in one device.

Final judgement will be passed this wednesday.
 
GBA Super Robot Taisen J (Banpresto) jumped up a few slots randomly...

New shipment?

Who published Scerwbreaker? Nintendo or Pokemon Company (I realsie the money ends up at the same place, but Im just curious).

It was my fault for making a stupid statement. Of course, the idea makes sense. I meant that in this specific case, it doesn't make sense that the monthly charts would be much different. All the DS games seem to sell at a fairly consistent level. For the most part, there are no huge climbers or droppers.

I wish I could say that Screw Breaker will preform better internationally but I just don't see that happening.

It seems as if the PSP didn't get any momentum at all. No old titles climbing up significantly (into the top 20 charts for example) and the new titles in this week don't seem to do better than you should expect.
 
I possess a monthly chart for Japan for several of the last month, and it's top 100. I can confirm that Nintendo's dominance does indeed stick in those charts as they do on these. Unfortunately, I can't give them away, nor can I disclose which source these charts are from.

Hmm, just curious as to how much no. 100 sells? Also, what's the oldest title in the top 100, if you can tell us that is.
 
In case anyone cares, here are the Japanese and US charts that the latest (November) Issue of Gamesmaster shows.No dates or whatever, just a top ten slotted in.

Japan

1. Winning Eleven - PS2
2. Grandia III - PS2
3. Pokemon XD - GC
4. Summon Night Exstacy - PS2
5. Dai-3-ji Super Robot Taisen Alpha - PS2
6. Armored Core: Last Raven - PS2
7. Bleach - PS2
8. Yawaraka Atamajuku (Brain Training - DS
9. Mushiking - GBA
10. Power PRo Koushien - DS

Of course these could be too old and before the DS dominance really kicked in. Just saw Brain Training and Mushiking sitting quite low and started wondering.

US

1. Nintendogs: Chihuaha (??!!) - DS
2. Madden - Multiformat
3. Nintendogs: Dachs - DS
4. Nintendogs: Lab - DS
5. World of Warcraft - PC
6. Sims 2 Nightlife - PC
7. Dungeon Seige 2 - PC
8. Advance Wars: Dual Strike - DS
9. Half Life 2
10. Battlefield 2

Didn't know Nintendogs numbers were so good, 3 of the top 4 slots would be very impressive....but could also be inaccurate I guess, certainly different from the NPD numbers we've seen so far.

Either way, its worth noting how Nintendo's performance is represented by the UK's best selling multi-format magazine as its likely to represent much of the nations response to Nintendo and the DS.

That said the UK gaming scene disgusts me. The top 5 games in the Uk this issue were: Brian Lara Cricket (58%), Madagascar (56%), Fantastic 4 (60%), Juiced (80%) and Cricket 2005 (57%).

The land where crap like The Incredibles, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory games actually sell. :(
 
Did someone demand monthly sales? Well here's what Famitsu had as sales covering 1-28 August:

1 PS2 World Soccer Winning Eleven 9 Konami 814,797
2 DS Jump Superstars Nintendo 293,350
3 PS2 Tales of Legendia Namco 242,003
4 PS2 Grandia III Square Enix 198,455
5 DS Gentle Brain Training Nintendo 177,535
6 GC Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness Pokemon 166,751
7 PS2 Naruto: Uzumaki Ninden Bandai 140,315
8 PS2 Summon Night EX Thesis Banpresto 131,577
9 DS Brain Training Nintendo 128,741
10 PS2 Gundam Seed Destiny: Generation of C.E. Bandai 123,943

Total for all games in Top 30 for the month:
DS 789,300
ps2 2,368,800
psp 16,800

Obviously the analysis is skewed by the fact that the ps2 has had over 5 years to build up a userbase of over 15 million.

Oh, and as for the daily sales, looks like Tamagotchi is gonna keep pushing the DS this week. Also looks like there's been a huge drop off for Winning Eleven. It's below Soft Brain Training which nets around 25K week. We don't have Thurday data, but I'd predict DS sales around 55-60K with psp between 40-50K.

Wow, are you sure that isn't 160,000? Because 16k is very little.

This could have something to do with the abundance of second hand copies on the market. DCharlie saw a bunch on sale as early as the day of release!

PSP must be wrong.
My numbers:
PS2 2348211 65.3%
DS 784057 21.8%
GC 231058 6.4%
GBA 122147 3.4%
PSP 108255 3.0%

6,409 copies for the month in August. The highest was WE9 PS2 at a little above 810K. The oldest title is also from 2002, but I figure you can easily guess what that is.
