Yoshi's out? Impressions?

Some of the Japan GAFers didn't really like it, but others have had fun with it.

You sure that is not yesterday?

[cvxfreak]

I think their date might be correct, although their system is still very confusing. I'll try to get things straightened out.

 

[Kon Tiki]

Well if you follow the Yahoo's dates, the PSP's launch matches up.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Artoon? ARTOON?!

Fucking hell.

[cvxfreak]

Yep, these indeed are the 12/13 charts. Sorry about that.

 

[StephaneC]

/041215/ on the page name and 12/13 on the chart ^^

 

[cvxfreak]

Yeah, I guess the dates they post the charts go up too, but I wish they'd put them off to the bottom corner or something.

PSP's insall base is smaller than NDS, but the soft sales match...

You gotta wonder if people are buying Yoshi no Banyuuin Ryoku or Rockman EXE 5 with a DS...

[Broshnat]

Why the hell are Pachislot games so popular???

Looks like this one is going to outsell Gundam!!

 

[jenov4]

That Minna No Golf game must be realy popular in Japan. Selling more than Ridge Racers! WOW!

 

[Kseutron]

wasn't namco planning to sell 300.000 ridge racers for psp launch? i wonder if it will make it

 

[Idiot Member]

Minna no Golf has always been more popular than Ridge Racer.

No Ridge Racer game has ever sold over a million copies in Japan, where as every offline Minna No Golf has sold well over a milion, the first selling over 2 million.

They shipped 300,000 for the launch. And magically, with a consistently growing userbase, they will eventually sell them all.

Not sure if these are correct.

 

[Mrbob]

Poor Lumines. It even got outsold by Mahjong Fight Club!

 

[Deg]

DS is doing very well.

 

[mumu]

So DS > PSP? It seems puzzle games are really unpopular in JP, first Zoo Keeper bombed horribly and now Lumines. How did Mr Driller DS do?

 

[Kon Tiki]

So DS > PSP?

Well NDS moved more in seven days than PSP did in one day.

 

[MASB]

I'm surprised Vampire Chronicles bombed in comparison to Ridge Racers and Golf. The DS did pretty well really. Sure, the PSP was only out for a day, but considering the lines, I would imagine they sold all or almost all that was avaliable. Though if that's true, some of those software figures aren't encouraging. But the long holiday season may cure that. DS software sales held up better than I thought they would for the most part.
