Some obvious things...
· First week PS3 outsells Wii
· PS3 breaks 50k again, last time it was the first week of year 2007
· Musou 5 could have outsold Mingol5 first week even though 1 vs 4 days of sales (Mingol5 - 175,750)
· PS3 beats PSP again, last time it was 3rd December 2006 week (6th PS3 week)
Nice numbers for Musou, Castlevania, Mario Party DS...Galaxy keeps underperforming and Ratchet bombs heavily :/

why "bombs" ? i thought that ratchet was small in Japan.. How many copies did sell the last ps2 ratchet game ?
So the 65k number for PS3 which was supposedly based on early famitsu numbers was kinda bullshit, eh? Either that or someone is dyslexic. 56k is quite nice though.
I expect SMG will have great legs, and has a couple of 100k weeks left in it before the end of the year (due partly to a WiiFit hardware-driving trickle down).

A 70% decline is a heck of a drop!
Unfortunately, SMG sales could be the subject of broad over estimation, for Japan, which is a real shame. It could end up doing what most traditional/hardcore content is doing on this new generation, selling less than the previous instalment. However, I think it's still too early to right it off yet, with the busiest time of the year looming, we'll know by mid Jan.
Developers wanting to sell games in Japan have been foolish not recognising the shift in tastes with major resources, but it's still sad to see the decline in hardcore content happening.
Wii Sports is still selling well, which is great. The Japanese really do seem to want simpler, unique experiences for their home consoles (that can only be played in the home). Hopefully Wii Fit can be a huge success (and another amazing EAD game) and encourage more people to play all kinds of gaming on home systems, because if it doesn't I can't see anything else doing it in the immediate future.
Very good boost for PS3, especially %. Though Ratchet looks like its had it in Japan, which isn't surprising.
Excellent Mario Party DS sales, very impressive increase from its 90K first day. Also, great to see MKDS back in the top 10

Solid sales all around.
Fools kept thinking that SMG was going to do another 200,000 the past week, which was pretty dumb to hope for in the first place. Glad to see Musou still kicking ass, as it is a great series.

Discussable. It doesn't really matter if the PS3 sell 56k this week, but then fall like a rock the following week, which most likely will happen (it happens to every console who gets a new SKU). I predict the PS3 at 30k-40 the week after this. I would say 56k is decent, but the following weeks will be more telling.
Was the 40GB and Musou released on Saturday or Sunday?
Also, damn, disappointing performance by Galaxy. We can only hope for word of mouth and a hefty holiday boost.

How what? How you should have anticipated the bad SMG sales? Because it's first week sales were horrible too. And it just happens very rarely that a game sells more in later weeks than its launch week. Most of those occur on the DS, which is a magical selling machine that defies all logic and rules established in the gaming industry.EktorPR said:
Wow that pretty pathetic for SMG's 2nd week.
At this point its bombed first day, first week, and now 2nd week. I do not like these trends. Even worse is that it did nothing for increasing Wii hardware considering sales are normally picking up now anyways as we head toward the holiday season. That means there is still no hardcore fanbase for the Wii in japan which mean hardcore games will continue to fail which mean no more hardcore games for the Wii. Which sucks since PS3 (it had a good week but considering the circumstances it should have had a good week, lets see if this lasts) is failing as is the 360.
Good new for Castlevania though considering it sold out. Maybe we'll see another classicvania on the PSP.

People need to stop with the uber high expectations.
Just because you want it to sell millions in Japan doesn't make it so. Just because a game is on Wii doesn't mean that it is guaranteed to be a sales smash. Big Brain Academy sold millions on DS but only about 200,000 on Wii.
SMG will likely get around 750,000.

And thus begins the first wave of Nintendo fan bitter tears over SMG. :lolEktorPR said:
Sorry had to do it even though my heart goes out for SMG. Damn travesty if you ask me but far from being the first quality Japanese game to get shafted because of this new handheld gaming trend in Japan.
You know it's fucking sad when a SPINOFF Mario game sells more than a REAL Mario game. :lol

Wait for real contestants like DMC4, GT5, FFXIII and MGS4. Those will show that console gaming is up and alive.Dahbomb said:Correct me if I am wrong but aren't those R&C numbers 1st day sales? Even then they appear to be really on the low side.
But yeah megatons all around... PS3 whooping Wii, selling over 50K and DW6 > SMG. SMG bomba, R&C bomba... console gaming in Japan bomba. :lol

Very disappointing numbers for Super Mario Galaxy. At this point, the only hope for the title is that it proves to have good, long legs & gets a major holiday boost, but even then it will be a hell of a slog to even match Super Mario Sunshine. Im not inclined to panic or leap to conclusions as some other posters are, but it is a worrying sign.
