Seriously what the fuck is this. RECOUNT EVERY SOLD UNIT :lol
Later I'll update the DBZ PS2 comparison and probably will add another for Gundam PSP, Kyotaro DS...maybe a Wii and PSP comparison too, because they really didn't match lately.

Only the UK/ChartTrack capture pretty much all of the games sold in their respective countries - which is why their data isn't free. So you either have discrepancies and public data, or accuracy and private data.

I would also think that the jp trackers are less accurate(but not significant enough to render them useless like ********) since they have to track more indy retailers on a weekly basis.nli10 said:

That's it, I've had enough, you bastards were supposed to buy Zack and Wiki, instead it gets outsold by an Arcade port from 2004, WTF is this shit? Also undeserved Bomba for EoJ, shame.

I forgot Bladestorm 360, 3000 units :/
(Made a quick mistake taking Hitman as Wii but its PS2 as it said at first)
Imabikisou sell through is just 20% (so the first shipment was 75k). Not looking good.
EDIT: Made another mistake...Dungeon Maker is DS not PSP.

It has done 140% the first one figures, so very good!Durante said:

-- Great
-- Meh, but not too surprising
-- Very disappointing hopefully whatever sales it garners fall within Capcoms projections and justify a sequel
-- Sheesh very bad. Any reason for this, as it looked like a reasonably good DDR title

About FFTA2...sinobi comments that FFT PSP did 120k first day but since A2 is a new title, it is expected to do better in the weekend. I think he also says that the sell through is so-so.
First week figures for FFT PSP is 170k. For FFTA GBA 225k (no first day numbers for this one).

Think about it this way guys, Zack and Wiki is set to probably x10 dewys first week! (Besides I reckon its going to outsell its shipment on its first week..probably?? about 10k) (sorry about the initial statement)
Ghost Squad did alright..it was afterall just a port.
Now DDR Hottest Party is bomba!

Hehe, thats one way to spin it i guess
But anyway, the shipment for Z&W was only 10k? If so, Capcom doesnt have much faith in Wii then.Btw, no tracking for these 3 Wii games or were they delayed?

Why do they even bother making it then?
The game looks great and it looks like it had great potential to sell many copies. And the Capcom ship only 10k? (if true of course). Seems wierd to me.titiklabingapat

i suspect it was a way to familiarise themselves with the Wii and Wiimote hardware.
Thry probably also deemed it profitable enough since it probably didn't cost that much. Capcom being experimental with low risks, i would say and that's a very good thing.

we saw them treat Phoenix Wright:AA the same in the West. what's going to be interesting is to see how much demand holds up over time and if the game gets restocked. word of mouth should give this one SOME legs.test_account said:Why do they even bother making it then?

Wow, those are incredibly poor number for Zack & Wiki. I assumed that after the gaming drought, a decent game would fare bette. What next? SMG at 9000?

It might be that they made a game like this to get familiar with the Wii controller, but i dont think its the main reason. If it was, then they could just make a mini game collection or something that would take less time and be more cheap to make.
Z&W is not just a shovelware game, it seems they have put some time and effort into it. If they didnt have faith in the products they were making i dont see why they would make it. I belive that Capcom thought this would be a great hit to be honest. As said, they game looks to have great potetinal in selling many copies.
However, this is only 1st day sales, i'll wait for the full week numbers. It might be somewhere between 15-20k. I dont know exactly how much that was expected from this game in terms of sales, but from what i've read and the hype i've seen i would think it would sell more atleast. This is also just Japan, it might do much better in the west and some/much profit could be made

Its called creative freedom, Japanese publishers actually trust there developers and let them do as they please. Thats why the Japanese companies are much better with hardware like the Wii and DS.

re: 10k initial shipments for Zack & Wiki.

No...if they expected it to sell they would've shipped more to retailers. Retailers only ever take orders from the really important games like Mario or Dragon Quest.

Well what you believe is wrong because the developer himself said he didn't believe it would sell much. Only after IGN's buy Zack and Wiki campaign had they hope that it would do well in the US.
