Wow, an arcade game so popular among girls that it's at the top of the reervation charts...
Wasn't someone from Famitsu estimating this would be Sega's second million seller in Japan (After Virtua Fighter 2)?

I said that!

and i didn't change my mind

 

[Frankfurter]

No PS3 games in the top 10 isn't that much surprising, but it's still pretty desastrous. Any word on new PS3 shipments this week?

There are two in the top ten.

EDIT: My mistake, didn't see the new numbers on the previous page.

it's sad when a system launch only makes a slight bleep on the chart and then disappears for all eternity

Pretty much. PS3 has bombed big time

I had said that Sony had to wait some weeks more before to lauch the machine. They have BIG problems with the producton.

 

[mariok]

Pokémon going strong.
How many units has ps3 sold?

 

[cw_sasuke]

7/10. The trend continues.

Nintendo third party 2007.

lol

 

[donny2112]

Well, GBASP and GBM tend to sell a hundred times better than the original model GBA, so GBA as a family would still be well represented without the dozen of the original model each week.

I don't think Media-Create would drop one without dropping all three. That'd be like dropping the regular DS sales from the charts. It's not big in itself, but it's part of something much larger on a weekly basis.

 

[Arsenal]

I wish I could go back in time and tell everyone on this board that the DS was going to easily outsell the PS3 in Japan.

Buy some Nintedo Stock while you are back there.

This article says there are already over 1 million pre orders for this game. WTH!?

Hah ****ing crazy.

because having 80k ps3s sitting in a warehouse is a lot smarter than delaying it...

 

[king zell]

[slaughterking]

Not up yet.

On Raftel.

AHUAHUAHUAHUAHUA

 

[apujanata]

maybe M-create is having a day off ?
Or maybe they are double checking the software sales, since there are some figures they find hard to believe ?

 

[Chris Michael]

[Joe Molotov]

Media Create closed early for Thanksgiving. We'll have the numbers on Monday.

Nooooooo.

Are you serious Joe?

 

[Barf_the_Mog]

Are you serious Joe?

Of course he's not. Does Wal-Mart shut down for Chinese new year?

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Japan does shut down for Annual Gift Man Day though.

Pokemon FireRed & LeafGreen are still on the chart. DAMN.

 

[MrDaravon]

I suspect that Media-Create will drop at least the Xbox at the end of this year. The GBA is still having decent selling releases (FFV, Rhythm Tengoku, coming FFVI) for it, so I could see it hanging on a while. GameCube might also be dropped, though.

IIRC FFVI is the LAST GBA game coming out in Japan (barring any re-releases at least), and Zelda GC is the LAST GC game. I'd expect them to drop GBA by the end of December/January, and GC sometime very early next year (February/March).

For a second, I read that as 342,000 PS3's, but then I realized where that extra 3 was coming from. :lol

ff3 still in the top 25

The PSP's just bowing out graciously before dying its horrible horrible death sometime next year.

 

[Barf_the_Mog]

Why does the PSP keep dropping?!?! god, the Japanese don't even deserve it anymore. jesus h. tap dancing christ.

 

[AniHawk]

Why does the PSP keep dropping?!?!

A combination of no games + DS + no games.

no I don't want it to die
give it software to nourish it back to health

 

[Joe Molotov]

If the Xbox 360 has one really good week, it could actually beat the PSP once.

 

[AniHawk]

Sony needed to have had people on that shit at last E3 at the latest. The system is too far gone now.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

The PSP needs someone like Segata Sanshiro to save it.

dammit now the PSP is looking like it was a delay tactic for the PS3

 

[Barf_the_Mog]

No, wrong Anihawk. The PSP is still in direct competition with the DS in North America and I assume it's doing better in Europe, too. It's just Japan, and their fetish for games that would have been great a decade ago that's keeping the system down.

A stopgap solution, if you will.

GBA SP was raping the PSP here in North America, Sony needs to save this sexy machine, I will never trust them if they don't try to save it.

PSP does well but not well enough

The PSP hardware is selling decently in NA right now. Maybe Xboxish levels from 2002 or so. The software is selling ****ing terribly though, and that's where the real problem is, and that's why the system will be on life support sometime in '07 if things don't pick up dramatically for whatever reason soon (and I highly doubt they will).

 

[Barf_the_Mog]

Look, I have a DS and love the hell out of it, but even I can see that PSP is the superior system. Its games are diverse, graphics sweet, and functionality unrivaled. The screen is vibrant and just the perfect size for portability; what is the deal with two screens anyway? Most DS games seem almost hampered by two screens, save for such titles like Brain Age and....Brain Age.

So, now it's less of "Nuh-uh! The PSP isn't dying!" and more of "Well I like it better regardless!"

Interesting.

You want us to believe that its not selling software even with this great position you have pointed out?
