I want to hear all 32 000 play in an orchestra peice.

[Gahiggidy] That's 8 good guys. [/Gahiggidy]

:lol I was just thinking about how it would have been cool to have this game's system set up in my electronic music class last year. Only a about 3 or 4 copies of the game needed for the whole class to play. That would have been interesting. Especially since you can create your own music to be played in the game as well. It would have make an interesting teaching tool.

Heh. I'm glad people are actually checking this game out. It could probably clear 100k it's first month?? Pretty good sales for a niche game like this. I wish they would hurry and bring this over.

 

[AniHawk]

Mario Party aint doin' so hot. Wonder if it'll hit 500,000 this year.

Looks like people picked up a DS for just one game or none.

Where did Wario Ware 2 go? Fall off that quickly?

 

[Chibbi Brady]

Last I saw it was around the 250k mark, I expect it'll pick up a little bit in the coming weeks. Hopefully Minish Cap will as well, it deserves much better.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

Where did Wario Ware 2 go? Fall off that quickly?

Well, it did face a bit of tough competition from... more Wario Ware.

EDIT: But seriously, of course things look funky at the top 10 with a system launch. If the DS disappeared, we'd only be looking at the top 5.

 

[Soul4ger]

Isn't that 27K still more than like eight of Sega's last ten releases in Japan?

 

[jiggle]

Not Shining Tears or that Fist of the North Star game at least.

Japanese people can be so retarded sometimes...

 

[Kon Tiki]

Well, execpt for the number of titles, which makes for a higher tie in ratio.

 

[Jonnyram]

That's hardly fair. I was in line for the GBA launch and this was sold out by the time I got to the front of the queue. After that, it was sold out in every shop I visited and I couldn't get it for about three weeks after launch. Demand was way underestimated.

Wow, that's actually really interesting. I don't recall any of the recent CV games doing well in Japan. Was it because of low shipment numbers, entirely? I know Castlevania isn't as important in Japan as it is in the US, but does Konami generally underestimate its popularity?

 

[Unison]

Konami of Japan can be so retarded sometimes.

yeah ... and 8 of those are xbox games lol :lol

anyways ... the "I can die for you" (something like that) game's sold out at my local target store.
