how so

Very low overall sales.
The charts are ruled by sequels to established franchises and licensed products of dubious quality. This stuff manages to hang in there while at the same time, Japan is a very tough crowd for new IPs now, apparently (*sobs at Archaic Sealed Heat et al*).
Very low overall sales.
Very low overall sales.

I'm ready for Super Mario Galaxy tearing up the charts.

 

[PistolGrip]

Hardware sales should be low all around. Is Rachet and Clank releasing in Japan anytime soon?

i dont think it makes any different in Japan

Its sells alright and should provide a bump, not a huge one but a bump mix with new price would do nicely I think.

 

[castle007]

I love how in the japan, Ratchet's eyes are 10 times bigger :lol

Random question: Does anyone know the gap in hardware between the PS2 and Dreamcast when it was discontinued?

The same day as Musou 5 and the 40GB PS3.

Nintendo's made sure to launch Mario & Sonic that week though.

I've got all but one week of its Famitsu data, so I could tell you the approximate difference at an arbitrary time. But when you say dicontinued, do you mean when they stopped listing weekly sales, or when they announced the end of Dreamcast, or when they actually ceased production, or when?

 

[Lightning]

n00b question. What is Musou 5?

 

[Narag]

n00b question. What is Musou 5?

Dynasty Warriors 6, right?

 

[Lightning]

Dynasty Warriors 6, right?

Ah, that sounds better, I thought DW6 was launching on Nov22 in Japan though?

 

[jj984jj]

Ah, that sounds better, I thought DW6 was launching on Nov22 in Japan though?

Nope, the 11th, and there will be a bundle just like there was for Gundam Musou.

When they announced the end of DC.

[Barf_the_Mog]

Why can't people be bothered to give the english name of the series on an english-speaking forum?

Perhaps because we are discussing Japanese games with their Japanese release dates. Just a guess here.

[SPEA]

Is the Wii supply constrained or does it just not have the demand like it does in the US?

Am I craycray or is everything up this week?

 

[Bebpo]

Why did PS3 go up? I thought there weren't any new PS3 games?

 

[fistfulofmetal]

I think it's because It's Begun...

 

[donny2112]

Option B.

Why did PS3 go up? I thought there weren't any new PS3 games?

Price drop officially took effect.

 

[mepaco]

Why did PS3 go up? I thought there weren't any new PS3 games?

Price drop? Not much of a bump for the price drop, but I guess it was smaller in Japan than anywhere else.

 

[Frillen]

Why did PS3 go up? I thought there weren't any new PS3 games?

Price cut was last week.

 

[sprsk]

Why did PS3 go up? I thought there weren't any new PS3 games?

People slowly realizing it was cheaper. Most likely people from the internets buying it.

 

[Bebpo]

I thought the 40gig model at the cheaper price was nov.11 with the dual shock & dynasty warriors?

People slowly realizing it was cheaper. Most likely people from the internets buying it.

So they dropped the price of the current models? Same price as the upcoming 40gig?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Why did PS3 go up? I thought there weren't any new PS3 games?

Price drop maybe in effect? Otherwise nice jump considering the lack of games.

 

[Frillen]

I thought the 40gig model at the cheaper price was nov.11 with the dual shock & dynasty warriors?

Nope, according to an official Sony PR the price cut was put into effect last week.

Streams etc etc. Panther where's your graph?

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

Go! Go! Streams Crossing! Go!

 

[donny2112]

Been a while since I've gotten to do this.

YTD / LTD:

DS: 5,727,345 / 19,733,024
PSP: 2,066,468 / 6,598,597

DS '07 vs. DS '06: -411,285
PSP '07 vs. PSP '06: +642,628


WII: 2,760,765 / 3,680,408
PS3: 752,426 / 1,209,984
360: 161,508 / 426,210

 

[ccbfan]

Hmm the PSP is holding on a lot better than I thought.

I thought for it would be under 50k but its almost at 60k. Less than a 1k drop from last week. Any new releases I forgot about or is it actually stablizing?

 

[Ether_Snake]

K old sales numbers cause I'm lazy.

 

[Vinnk]

Streams crossing? Really? With Galaxy about to launch the PS3 will outsell the Wii?
Really?

[lupin23rd]

Wii is roughly 3 x PS3 LTD, which is roughtly 3 x 360 YTD.

Good news on PS3 rising

Spoiler

and 360 dropping

if those numbers are true.

Are Eye of Judgement and Imabikisou out next week? I thought they'd be somewhere in the charts this week if they were out, even if wasn't top 10

Spoiler

since they aren't Dewy

.

By the way, was everyone really high on ASH? I took a look at a few screenshots and thought it looked kinda shitty. Maybe it plays better, I haven't taken it for a spin obviously, but I dunno, was being a Mistwalker fanboy part of the terms of service here? I wasn't feeling it.

I didn't feel Layton either, but for the dude commenting that Japan doesn't like new IPs, I guess that one would be a good counter-argument.

 

[mabuza]

wow ive never seen the ps3 this close to the wii before

 

[AniHawk]

I wonder if there are people who don't get the "cross the streams" reference and simply are going along with the group.

 

[Bebpo]

Streams crossing? Really? With Galaxy about to launch the PS3 will outsell the Wii?
Really?

Will be interesting to see. The Wii will most certainly skyrocket next week and the PS3 will do about the same as this week probably.

But then the week after when the 40gig + new controller + Japan seller DW launches, who knows how much PS3 could go up and who knows where Wii hardware will be 2nd week of Mario.

I doubt PS3 will pass it, but stranger things have happened.

 

[Cheesemeister]

Just set them right next to each other. It's not that hard.

 

[womfalcs3]

The GT demo is responsible.
