[CorwinB]

Not true. Brad Pitt and Britney Spears were huge in Japan.

Isn't that because japanese people are smaller on average, though ?

 

[cvxfreak]

Not that Amazon is a great barometer of game sales in Japan, but 360 is at #56 and the 60GB PS3 is at #84.

Cause Burger King sucks dude. And aren't there BK games on the 360... ? :lol

Anyway that's a topic for another thread, not a Media Create thread.

Or course those Japanese willing to buy a foreign console would be more willing to buy from a foreign-owned website. Using the West-invented internet!

I do wonder how they sleep at night after betraying their country like that.

All the Japanese people I know are 6'5

So much ownage in CVX's McDonalds/Michael Jackson post it hurts.

I wish it was mandatory that Gaf members visit Japan once in their lives before posting bullshit from the top of their heads MC threads.

i love the way every week media create threads always veer of the course into something completely unrelated, and this week its burker king and louis vitton. christ

Is your American Burger King different from our Singaporean Burger King or something? Because the Mushroom Swiss Double rocks.

Welcome to GAF, sasimirobot. Assuming you are the same poster as the one with the same id in gameFAQs.

FYI, CVX's has visited Japan at least three times (AFAIK), and he has visited Jonnyram (you do remember him, right) ?
I know that CVX does not have a girlfriend yet, so you must pardon his ignorance that LV (and other expensive lady bag brand) are not from US.

CVX, you pick the ugliest MJ picture you can find, right ?

you joking right? my original post had nothing to do with dissn CVX, in fact I think he is aware of who I am as a poster and person. I have been on GAF for what...4 years or so...but yes I still post on the JapanGF board once in a blue moon.

Good to see Sales threads alive and kickn these days (love the new formats/charts/gifs/etc..), it was getting really stale there for a moment.

Where are software's numbers ?

 

[Forgotten Ancient]

Where are software's numbers ?

Software: Usually Wednesday Evening (Eastern Standard Time)
Hardware: Usually Thursday Evening (Eastern Standard Time)

There are usually leaks to both that are sometimes close, sometimes spot on, and sometimes way off that come out prior... Just remember:
Wednesday=Software
Thursday=Hardware

 

[the thoroughbred]

I don't mind if a thread gets derailed, as long as everyone is on board. I guess it keeps discussion going until fresh news is released, prolong the thread. There are way too many threads made every day anyway.

But I reckon, somebody has to ask where are the numbers every Wednesday, just because they can't be bothered to go all the way to the toilet to take their piss, so they got to do it on someone here.

If someone had the numbers, they would have been posted. If not wait, till they get released. Its that simple.

So stop ****ing asking where are the ****ing numbers every ****ing week.

Had to get that of my chest, its been another dry Valentine's day. Now got get some balls to ask out a girl, who works in town. Who would've thought getting some sex would be this hard for a guy that looks as good as me.

I want to believe it deserves those sales and more.

*closes eyes and hopes*

 

[marc^o^]

1st spot <50K. Slow week if confirmed.

Pretty much. Kind of disappointed. But it's nice for Sony. They have their first PS3 °1 spot.

 

[mckmas8808]

A number one game only sold 50,000 units? Is that some kind of record low?

Before the advent of the DS, this would have been considered a good week. :lol

Far from it but it's certainly lower than the average 1st spots sales.

Certainly in recent history. Maybe a preDS week managed to sink that low, although I do remember a couple of very low weeks, even with the DS around.

Feb, especially the start, is a very slow retail month in Japan.

 

[jesusraz]

And so Dragon Quest Monsters disappears again due to low stock...

too low

 

[typhonsentra]

You're too low on the PS3 prediction methinks. I think it'll be around 30k.

 

[Magicpaint]

Wow, really slow week.

DQM is flip-flop, I wonder if people will care when they restock it next. VF5's start is decent, at least it could crawl to 100K.

 

[Pureauthor]

I suppose I'm the only guy here that cares about Luminous Arc's placing.

 

[VietBitter]

Wii hardware sales probably dipped to 50-60k it seems, PS3 should remain around 20k mark.

 

[NintendosBooger]

Wow, really slow week.

DQM is flip-flop, I wonder if people will care when they restock it next. VF5's start is decent, at least it could crawl to 100K.

Why wouldn't they care? The last time it played the same disappearing act, it emerged right back in the top 10 on a subsequent week once stores restocked.

 

[Christian]

Why wouldn't they care?

Because people will only wait so long before they give up/move on to a new game. Saw it happen with FFIII.

 

[Axord]

Why wouldn't they care?

1. Demand is filled at some point.
2. The longer the time from launch, the greater the chance that continuing demand is filled by the used games market.

 

[flipping_heck]

I suppose I'm the only guy here that cares about Luminous Arc's placing.

30k isn't too bad, considering their shipment is pretty low iirc, it sold like 20k (50% of shipment) on first day.

 

[NintendosBooger]

Guys, you're preaching to the choir here. The game will reappear in the top 10 once stores are restocked. I have no doubt about that.

 

[Roders5]

Are the ds and wii still sold out in japan or are we seeing the maximum sales possible at the minute?

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

I don't see VF5 selling more than 60k first week, and then dropping off the top ten after that. So there's my VF5 prediction.

Also I think your PS2 numbers are way too high. The PS2 marketshare is (finally) getting eaten by the Wii, DS and perhaps PSP.

So if Sinobi's numbers are accurate (which they usually are) I OVERRATED VF5?

Waits for the "Wait for Gundam Musou" mantras to start.
