GT5P is doing outstanding. I wonder why sales have surged like this recently. It's not in any of the current bundles as far as I know.
Maybe with this economy being as poor as it is people can't afford new cars so they settle for the relatively inexpensive treat.

01. [PSP] Dissidia Final Fantasy (Square Enix) - 44,000 / 801,000
Not gonna make it to 1m at this rate unless it shows legs at 10-15k.
04. [PSP] Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G, PSP the Best (Capcom) - 32,000 / 292,000
2,452k + 292k = 2,744k
09. [PS3] White Knight Chronicles (SCE) - 25,000 / 301,000
Rogue Galaxy launched 20 days earlier in December and it was at 319k as of 2005 end, selling 37k in all 2006. WKC had worse 1st and 3rd week but better 2nd, so far they both had sold 300k as of their third week.
12. [NDS] Phantasy Star Zero (Sega) - 19,000 / 160,000
200k first day shipment was way too high, no wonder if you see its price collapsing.
13. [PS2] Gundam Musou 2 (Bandai Namco) - 17,000 / 179,000
16. [PS3] Gundam Musou 2 (Bandai Namco) - 15,000 / 256,000
Turnover! What a difference with Media Create btw, MC has PS2 at 212k and PS3 at 282k. 50k between the two trackers...
17. [NDS] Professor Layton and the Last Time Travel (Level 5) - 15,000 / 686,000
Layton 2 was at 714k as of 1/14 last year, so far, incredibly similar performance.
18. [NDS] Power Pro Kun Pocket 11 (Konami) - 14,000 / 144,000
144k as of 1/11, last year version was at 215k as of 1/14 and selling 7k but it launched 12 days earlier than this year edition.
20. [PS3] Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (Konami) - 11,000 / 335,000
Ahead of 2008 but not by much, 2008 was at 275k as of February. But the PS2 edition was at like 600k and 2009 hasn't been released yet.
21. [NDS] Tales of Hearts: Anime Movie & CG Movie (Bandai Namco) - 11,000 / 212,000
Right at the TOW, TOS-R, TOI numbers. TOE 250k at sight. Lets see how TOW2 fares later this month.
23. [PSP] Musou Orochi: Maou Sairin (Koei) - 10,000 / 143,000
Two things about this one, heavy difference with MC (167k) and its above first Musou Orochi already despite starting slower holidays helped it quite a bit (MO1 PSP 136k).

Since October every barebones 80GB SKU had GT5P in it, but SCEJ already launched GT5P-less 80GB SKUs (not only barebones but LBP or PES2009 bundles). SCEJ doesn't have the GT5P boxes on their website, so I suppose they aren't shipping more of them.Zen said:

Problem is for most of the year the average of PS3 isn't bigger than 10-15k.

Can we get the Xbox 360 LTD in Japan? It's gotta be hitting close to a milli right? This the first time it sunk below 10k in like 5 months right?

Yup, the return of first day numbers after a two week break. Naruto PS3, Fallout 3 PS3, GRID PS360, Castlevania Wii, Mario Tennis Wii, DS Uranai Seikatsu from Nintendo and Devil Survivor DS from Atlus!Paracelsus said:

Dont expect too much. Yakuza and Demons Souls should push more PS3's, added to that the Resi 5 PS3 bundle. Bam.

Stand-alone? No. But they should count those bundled with the PS3 hardware, but not separately though.neojubei said:

i'm surprised WKC has hung in there for so long. it should be close to being in the top 10 selling PS3 games in JP right?

Actually it already should be in the top 5. Dunno if it will it make into the top 3, but it looks doubtful (DW6:356k)

That's too bad. It would have been like Final Fantasy XIII numbers preview.Kurosaki Ichigo said:
PhanterLotus, this:
must be a ds game.
And quoting donny from last week' thread:
LanceStern, is that you?
Now selling 200k-300k is BAD for a non-Monster Hunter/non-blockbuster game in Japan?
Okay, tell that to Namco, Capcom, Marvelous, From Software, Konami,... when their wii games sell less than 40k and only two/three third party wii games have sold 200k+
I'm just surprised when I read people saying: "bah Fragile is going to bomb badly but hey, it doesn't matters".
So my question is why don't you think that the multiple third party core bombas will affect the future potential for the Wii and why are you so close minded when we are talking about the present/future potential for the psp.
The thing is, the first two years the third parties were doing better on the psp than they are doing on the wii now.

Capcom and Namco both have multiple successes on the Wii.
Marvelous..well we've only really had Rune Factory Frontier as a judge.
From..Tenchu was disappointing, no doubt.
Konami..LOL..what Konami game should have done well in Japan? Dewey's Adventure?
Spiegel said:
I'll grant you the second PowerPro game- that was definitely a disappointment.
But I wasn't even responding to your whole 200K and above argument- your previous post made it seem like those companies are only seeing bombs on the Wii. That's definitely not the case. Especially for Namco.

Not actually that important
So it's now a given AC:Wild World will be Japan's next 5 millions seller 
I'm curious to hear what some of the more in-the-know sales agers think about the fact that Nintendo still hasn't released a new color or even a bundle for the Wii yet.
Obviously it's still doing well enough in Japan - fairly easily besting the PS3 and 360 each week - but it's certainly not pulling the kinds of numbers it used to - or the kinds of numbers the DSi and PSP do.
Is it because of the situation in the rest of the world - i.e. they've diverted stock from Japan to NA and Europe and overall still can't make enough to meet demand - or are they just biding their time (waiting until MHG or MH3 are released, for instance).
They didn't wait this long to release new colors for the DS, did they?

Good question. Hardware sales were down in 08 and at least for the first half look to be down as well. Wii Sports Resort is the only software we know about coming out relatively soon that could boost numbers again.
I would think they would start to be more agressive in Japan given the slower sales, but we'll see.

They really should make the online for these games free. Other games do it, so I don't see why they couldn't.

He never said "they can only realistically aspire to a horrible awful 200-300K". It's just a fact that after more than four years, the type of software that's managed to break that barrier fits a very narrow profile.Spiegel said:
Wii's got a different situation. After two years the types of genre that break that barrier are wide. Fighters, racers, paltformers, sports, party games. However, the publisher spread that's managed to do so is pretty thin.
JoshuaJSlone said:
It's so thin than only Nintendo, Square-Enix (Dragon Quest) and a Taiko game have managed to break that barrier.
All of these nintendo games on WIDE genres have something in common: Mario is in the title, or the game is based on the Mario/nintendo's best selling franchises universe or it's a Wii _ game. So it's not that wide
Yeah, third parties only have to be Nintendo and everything will be fine!
And I have to say that it's a stupid barrier. 300k? Why? We all laughed at LanceStern sometime ago because of something similar.
It would be easier for me if I ask you what game released on the psp do you think that had to break that barrier but hasn't make it.

*taken from the previous week's Media Create thread, i am posting here instead of bumping th old thread*
I am sorry for the missunderstanding!
Ye, i think i missread one of your earlier post. I thought you said that the publisher would take note on how Final Fantasy XIII would sell, but i now see that you said that they would notice, not that they would take note. That is why i asked what they would take note of regarding the sales of FFXIII, except on how many copies that were sold, if there were anything special that the publisher would take note of around the FFXIII sales compared to any other game. FFXIII is perhaps one one the biggest game (big as in "a big title") in Japan in this generation though, so publishers might take extra notes on FFXIII comapred to other gamesJokeropia said:

that's awesome! I'll be playing that until the end of time~
Someone from Japan just came to visit me and my friends in Portland, and she brought her DS with just Animal Crossing and Dragon Quest IV~ She has great taste ^o^
edit: oh! And good for Wagamama! Let's all hope we can have a Wagamama someday~

Yes, the 360 will hit a million lifetime in about two months, if you go by Famitsu numbers. If you go by Media-Create numbers it will take another month or so after that. (As per usual disclaimers, neither is "more correct", they're just different.)Revelations said:
