I've been playing the first Radiant Mythology since Saturday. Is Japan really that fond of dungeon crawlers, or is the Tales of fanservice really enough to push it through?
Nevertheless, it is quite nice to see it RM2 beating Echoes of Time for morbid reasons.

Past Tales of the World games sold between 100-120k on the gba, and other fanservice Tales games like Tales of Fandom were not selling much compared to the main ones on PS(2). I think it indeed comes from the type of game that is close to MH, psp fans are into dungeon crawl games and with multiplayer prefered. ToW1&2 and PSP benefited from MH's success. 300k is a given now, Spiegel was right.
I'm really astounded by Demon's Souls performance @_@ I thought it was sent to die.
SFIV is doing well compared to other fighting games, but do you guys think that capcom might have expected/wanted more? Only they were cautious with the first shipment?

why such a massive discrepency between famitsu and MC on mario & luigi, i know they're different trackers and they do vary but thats nearly 30,000 difference
Tenchu bombed badly
Main entries:
Tales of Legendia (PS2) -> 242k - 51k - 19k
Tales of Symphonia (GC) -> 183k - 50k - 21k
Tales of the Abbys (PS2) -> 368k - 72k - 39k
Tales of the World2:
210k-45k-23k
ToTW2 is going to sell 100k+ more at least than the recent Tales (360, Wii, Ds, PSP). You shouldn't be shocked because a Tales game is dropping like Tales games do

*looks at early HW numbers*
HOLY CRAP! We might see HW crossover over the next 2 weeks! First the 360 next week for SO4 and PS3 the week after for Yakuza 3.
What a horrible month for Wii. :lol

Is the DS version still full price? After that 300k shipment?Vinnk said:

Is that a 90% sell through rate for M&L3 in Famitsu's numbers? If so, why such a low shipment? Nintendo really underestimated its demand!

there's no chance of a price cut before april otherwise it'll mess up their financial projections

I'm not sure whether this is sarcasm or not, but judging by your post history it probably isn't, so...
20k vs 13k opening weeks is a "notable" difference and worth holding up as an example of how the system doesn't sell "hardcore" games? Seriously?
Perhaps since that's around 8-10k lower than the opening week for Shinobi Taizen it's an indication that the hardcore market on the PSP is shrinking? Or perhaps it's a relatively small difference and - together with slumping figures on PSP and PS2, plus poor figures on DS and 360 - suggests that the problem is with the series rather than the platform?

It was, when both of your first week shipments sell out almost immediately, even when you'd didn't advertise the game a lick or really seem to care about it. you know that it was basically sent to die, and were amazed by the fact it stood there in the fire looking rather content.
I think the bigger thing to note is why the bloody is 365 Days of Magic still selling?
Talk about random games with legs.

It's 8,390 yen! I, for one, refuse to pay such an outrageous price.
dreamcastmaster said:
There are still several PS3 copies in my city (and 2 Xbox 360 copies). But I wasn't there on Thursday so I don't know how many they had to start with.
I'm not sure if these copies are a restock or that it didn't sell out here. Anyone in the other cities have any idea?
Opiate said:
Err..are you being serious? Both numbers are so low any attempt at analysis seems like statistical noise.
If it did 1K on Wii and 2k on PSP would we be saying it did significantly better because it doubled the Wii version?
jj984jj said:
That's why I think it could have some sort of impact, at least short term. Monster Hunter will be the first major core PS2/non Nintendo franchise to go to Wii. There should be a lot of potential Wii buyers in that group.

Comparing Capcom to Nintendo in terms of mascots popularity in Japan is like comparing the Moon to the Sun in size. He said fighters need to adapt. I said it isnt the gameplay that creates the popularity. What, all you gotta do to make a successful fighter is have collection of the most bankable characters in the industry?

Okay but Japanese don't base the value of the prices on exchange rate. Someone was making the exact same argument 8 months ago back when the yen was 130 to the dollar about how absurdly cheap games are nowadays in Japan and thus they should be selling more.

If it were just the characters, I don't think Brawl would have sold more than Melee. The novelty would get old, not be renewed.
If the game didn't have licensed characters it'd sell less, but trying to say that Smash's success comes solely from the licenses is foolish. Jump Super Stars, Dissidia, Super Robot Wars, Capcom VS... All those series use various licensed proprieties, but don't sell as well as Smash.

Final Fantasy sells more than most of the main games from series represented in Smash - besides Mario and Pokemon - but Pokemon console spin offs and 3d Mario games currently don't even approach FF's sales. Dissidia sold less than any main Final Fantasy even though it had characters from almost every single numbered game.

Not yet. They look ridiculous with only 7 points. Soon, though. Hell, maybe this week when hardware is released. Did you see my multiple YOYs for DS v PSP? It's easy to do one for a single year vs. a single year (with only two systems). Doing multiple years for multiple systems becomes hard on the eye. I'll probably stick to the 09 vs 08. I
Also, great reference. I've tried to roll back on the snarky charts since then.

Finally a good looking top ten (i.e. less Nintendo).
