Numbers are up on sinobi blog ->

SSBB - 800k (holy shit)
DMC4 - 210k (PS3) 40k (360)
Haruhi PS2 - 100k
Tales of Destiny - 97k
Disgaiea 3 - 56k
Assassin Creed - 37k

Top 3 - I was close.

Smash destroys everything. Good DMC4 numbers - number 3 must have restored the franchise's reputation.

 

[Totobeni]

wow Disgaea 3 @ # 6 good news

 

[PuppetMaster]

Edit: beaten!

[Frillen]

[HolyCheck]

Edit: beaten!

lol! bit off there on smash!

[Threi]

Here are your orders men!

SSBB>#2-10 Combined

PS Family > N + MS Family


get to it.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Those Smash Bros numbers are genuinely interesting. Let's briefly remember the sequence of data we have about Smash Bros:

1) ~600k retailer pre-orders
2) Nintendo claims they'll only be filling 25% of retailer pre-orders
3) Nintendo reverses claim, claims they'll be able to fill a decent percentage
4) 500k day one on just shy of 600k shipment
5) 800k week one

Interesting, hey? So either the initial number on retailer pre-orders was too low (if so, holy shit!) or Nintendo is so dedicated to the game that they managed to restock enough to hit all the preorders AND go beyond (if so, holy shit!)

 

[Rancid Mildew]

Smash had a tremendous opening. It definitely deserves it considering all the effort and work that went into it.

Also, I'm very happy DMC4 is doing so damn well. DMC3 was the best in the series in my opinion so this one will probably be even more awesome.

 

[Loudninja]

So, what was DMC3 first week sales?

 

[Stormbringer]

Corrected the Haruhi PS2 number (113k instead of 100k, which was the first day number)

In addition, Smash Bros sell-through is apparently 95%...

Also :

Wii - 100k

 

[Loudninja]

Corrected the Haruhi PS2 number (113k instead of 100k)

Also :

Wii - 100k

No other HW numbers?

 

[marc^o^]

What was the last console game to have such an opening?

Wow, insane for Smash. If it gets restocked again it will hit a million this week.

Wii hardware..I suspected it wouldn't receive too much of a bump, honestly.

 

[f@luS]

DMC 4 : 250K 1st week ?

Maybe it can reach 500K in japan.

That would be awesome , and overall i think it will sell almost 50-50 between 360 and PS3

(here come the prediction)


DMC 4 :
JPN : PS3 =330 k X360 = 80k
USA : PS3 = 350k X360 = 500k
EU : PS3 = 420K X360 : 320k


Total :
PS3 = 1.1M 360 : 900k




/sorry

 

[test_account]

What was the last console game to have such an opening?

I dont know about the last, but Dragon Quest 8 for PS2 did 2.236.881 the first week. Is that the highest first week ever?

EDIT: Yoboman seems to be right that Final Fantasy XII was the last console game to do more. It sold 1.840.397 the first week.

 

[Stormbringer]

No other HW numbers?

Oh, didn't see these :

PS3 - 36k
X360 - 5800

 

[Yoboman]

What was the last console game to have such an opening?

Wii Fit? For a real game, could've been as far back as FFXII

 

[Loudninja]

Oh, didn't see these :

PS3 - 36k
X360 - 5800

Thanks

 

[schuelma]

Oh, didn't see these :

PS3 - 36k
X360 - 5800

Wow..lower than I thought.

 

[Frillen]

Oh, didn't see these :

PS3 - 36k
X360 - 5800

Wow, no bump for the PS3.

 

[Zombie James]

Three PS3 games in the top six? That seems... odd for Japan. How much of a hardware boost do you think this is going to bring?

edit: Nevermind, hahaha.

[Threi]

Look above

 

[Rolf NB]

Wow..lower than I thought.

Me too. Weren't there supposed to be DMC4 bundles though? Maybe they aren't counted towards this number.

They are.

 

[slaughterking]

I miss our regular Famitsu leak. D:

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

I miss our regular Famitsu leak. D:

RIP 2-year-old FAX

 

[schuelma]

I miss our regular Famitsu leak. D:

Yeah...we need the top 30!

 

[puck1337]

So I guess that's how the 3rd party publishers landed up having problems securing optical media from Nintendo...

 

[Phife Dawg]

Those are big, big Smash numbers. DMC is also doing great numbers. Hardware is pretty much as expected, not a big boost for either systems.

 

[Darji]

Wow..lower than I thought.

dont forget its famitsu theire PS3 figures are normally lower than the ones from media create.

Not this again

According to Gamedaily, you cant trust sinobi numbers though..

 

[Pureauthor]

Wow. Pretty good numbers all around.

 

[Rolf NB]

They are.

Well that's weird. Why so low?

 

[Loudninja]

No system had a huge big boost this week.

 

[Frillen]

Well that's weird. Why so low?

Because most DMC fans already owned the PS3?

 

[Dascu]

Anyone got some numbers for the previous Disgaeas? Fantastic numbers for SSBB and DMC4 did pretty solid as well.

 

[botticus]

Well that's weird. Why so low?

Much like the Wii only getting a 20k bump from a game that opened at 800k, I think we can safely say that for the majority of consumers this week, if they wanted the games they had the system already.

 

[test_account]

Lower system boost for PS3 and Wii than i expected. Considering the game releases i expected them to be bigger. Pretty good software numbers though, especially SSBB That game did amazing sales the first week!

 

[Grecco]

Awesome Smash numbers.

 

[Mrbob]

Wow, no bump for the PS3.

Needs the Colbert bump.

 

[Elios83]

Not this again

He speaks the truth though, last week PS3 was at 29k (Famitsu) and 34k (Media Create).
This week it's 36k Famitsu (so it's a +24% bump) and if the ratio stays the same MC should put it at 40k.
BTW I expected a bigger jump for both PS3 and Wii but the most important thing is having software selling well =)

He speaks the truth for the last 2-3 weeks. This week or the next week or a week after that, they will reverse.

Yes it can happen of course but MC has been tracking PS3 higher than Famitsu and Wii lower for quite a period now.

 

[djtiesto]

Go Brawl! This game is gonna be absolutely massive when it hits here, too.

 

[tanod]

Maybe it can reach 500K in japan.

The "theorem of videogame retail" pretty much guarantees 500k for DMC4.

25% of sales in the first week
25% of sales in the rest of first month
50% of sales during the rest of the game's life on retail shelves.

 

[test_account]

Yesterday i mean i read something about that SSBB sold 700k within the first 4 hours, but now i cant find it. Anyone knows anything more about this?
