[Furoba]

You have to be kidding me.

There is nothing new out.

 

[jesusraz]

And then there's General Knowledge Training out in October, which should do decent numbers through to Christmas...

 

[lochnesssnowman]

Is the DS trend dieing a little in Japan?

6 games in the top 10.
14 in the top 20.
19 in the top 30.

Yeah, DS is on its knees in Japan.

Yeah, DS is on its knees in Japan.

Unless it has 11 games in the top 10 then it is dying. Deal with it people.

Nice to see FFIII still going pretty strong. So since these sales (17th), FFIII will have 10 days of freedom before Pokét0n is unleashed. I hope it will sell over 100k in this time.

 

[charlequin]

you have a good time with it, you buy it expensive accessories etc

and when the relationship goes sour, it stops doing it in certain positions, and gets cranky

:lol

 

[jarrod]

Poor Namco... guess it's time they gave Rave Racer DS for WFC a shot.

 

[Error]

Jesus I need ot poll the mods on banning people with those *DF avatars. You might as well go outside wearing shirts that say "I am a manchild, this shirt is proof of how pathetic I am" all in capital letters on XXXL size t-shirts.

yes yes yes those avatars are ****ing annoying, I cant believe that Sony fans are actually worse than Nintendo fans now.

****... 360 dipping below 1k now? And wow at the PS2 jump.

DSL doing awesome as usual.

 

[bud]

Do mc's numbers always end up higher or lower than Famitsu's numbers?

 

[DefectiveReject]

Hello you lovely people, I think deez are what some folk were after:

AH
HE/SHE put DSL at the bottom so that i'd have to read all the numbers. DAMN YOU.

I also fixed the numbers for next week.

 

[slaughterking]

Half a million. Yay, that sounds nice. Haaaalf a million. This should come true.

 

[ethelred]

Famitsu data, up to Sep 3, 2006 :
Rune Factory Harvest Moon 58,388
Rhythm Tengoku 101,860
Mario Basketball 3 on 3 264,259

Tomorrow we might get the latest Famitsu data (up to Sep 10, 2006).

Cheers for that.

The RF numbers are slightly disappointing as I thought it had passed 75,000 by now. Assuming it doesn’t bounce up again, we’re probably looking at lifetime sales of <100,000 – do we have any indication of whether that would be deemed a success by the publisher?

Bear in mind, that Famitsu data is up to September 3rd -- it's almost a month old.

Both Rhythm Tengoku and Hoops are doing well, though. It seems like Hoops could achieve something in excess of 300,000 yet which is pretty impressive for a handheld Mario Sports title, and 100,000+ for a quirky title like Tengoku is great – especially when it appears that it’s been by word-of-mouth rather than any great marketing push.

Both are doing very well. Hoops will absolutely pass 300k -- Media Create had it at 288,136 last week.

 

[cvxfreak]

Japanese gamers are waiting for the 360 Core Pack.

[Jiggy]

That'd be two weeks from now.

Guess I can't trust Famitsu anymore...

Nothing beats Animal Crossing

 

[Moor-Angol]

Guess I can't trust Famitsu anymore...

Nothing beats Animal Crossing

maybe AC will resist another week, still 14k above

 

[Aurora]

Gamecube is catching up to 360.

 

[castle007]

[slaughterking]

I'll wait for the MC HW numbers. ;/

 

[Moor-Angol]

Tingle last week had a big drop, probably it's sold-out cause i remember someone said first shipment was 80k units...
if not sold-out it's like FF3, high demand cannot be satisfied by lower weekly stocks

Hey! Where'd you find those?

 

[davepoobond]

I'll wait for the MC HW numbers. ;/

me too =p

 

[Stumpokapow]

Every hour the DS sells one week's worth of XBox 360 sales. Every hour the XBox 360 sells 5 units. One unit per 12 minutes. You can see the tumbleweeds go by.

 

[mj1108]

It's all mixed up! Put it in the right order!

Those are Famitsu -- not Media Create

 

[Ngeist]

****... 360 dipping below 1k now?

I'm guessing some shortages :lol

 

[CorwinB]

I'm guessing some shortages :lol

Either they have finally managed to sell through the initial shipment, or people are busy waiting for the Core Pack.

 

[PantherLotus]

I'm going to need a graph of the full year of DS vs. PSP sales (JPN) for me to be able to grasp the current trend.

Thanks in advance

 

[Joe Molotov]

I'm guessing some shortages :lol

Shortages of customers.

 

[cvxfreak]

I'll wait for the MC HW numbers. ;/

Why the sad smiley?

It's not like Famitsu is outrageously wrong or anything; these provide a good indicator as to what sales were.

 

[slaughterking]

Why the sad smiley?

That's my attitude. ;/

 

[Oblivion]

Man, this thread is much more entertaining than last week's.

 

[Foil]

****... 360 dipping below 1k now?

They were too busy voting on internet polls.

 

[Fuzzy]

Man, this thread is much more entertaining than last week's.

Hardly anyone bothered with last week's because of the Nintendo news.
