[Satter]

597,000 new? Is that a record????

 

[user friendly]

2 PS2 games in top 5

 

[corez]

Mario Galaxy out of top 10

 

[jvalioli]

597,000 new? Is that a record????

For what?

 

[GhostSeed]

Hang in there Galaxy.

 

[AceBandage]

There's only one game in the top ten that isn't new...

 

[kassatsu]

SMG did worse than numbers in famitsu :x At least Idol Dogs didn't beat it.

 

[jj984jj]

DQIV

SMG did worse than numbers in famitsu :x

MC tracks Rockman separately, but yeah it's a bit lower.

 

[grandjedi6]

Super Mario Galaxy NO!!!!

 

[Evenball]

Mario galaxy out of the top 10

 

[Chumly]

Dam i hate not getting numbers past 10

 

[PantherLotus]

So they like soccer. HMMM.

 

[Evlar]

I'm kinda surprised FFXI is up that high. I mean, I'm surprised the PS2 version is up that high. It's only compatible with pre-PSTwo systems and the backwards compatible PS3s, and I would have expected some of the long-time players to have moved on to PC by now.

 

[Game-Biz]

Hey...Mario & Sonic ain't doin' that bad...

 

[PantherLotus]

HOLY SHIT 600K???

 

[Satter]

For what?

For a DS/third party game?

 

[USC-fan]

wow SMG....

Never thought it would do this bad.

 

[schuelma]

Hmm..judging by where Wii Sports is...my not so bold prediction- Wii outsells PS3 in hardware.

 

[FrankT]

Hang in there Galaxy.

bOMBA

 

[Insane Metal]

Ouch @ Mario Galaxy :O

And NDS owns 17 in the top 30, that´s insane...

Also, 600k for DQ DS omfg

140k for WE PS3, great number!

PS3 is starting to get better in JP.

 

[Kyoufu]

HOLY SHIT 600K???

Only a portion of what DQIX will do in it's first week...

 

[jj984jj]

For a DS/third party game?

Dragon Quest Monsters Joker did a bit better in its first week during the last week of December, but this is doing better than any other S-E game released this year though.

 

[WrathOfOtaibah]

In before elaborate SMG spinning

600,000 for DQIV is impressive.

 

[Kittonwy]

I'm pleasantly surprised PS3 WE sold so well, the typical Playstation owners might just be starting to pick up the machine... maybe.

 

[B.K.]

That's the lowest amount a Dragon Quest has ever sold in the first week, isn't it?

 

[Anth]

Well, the top 10 is pretty strong this week, so Galaxy isn't doing that badly ... aw, who am I kidding.

Wtf Japan, seriously. Hopefully Smash won't suffer the same fate.

 

[Evlar]

wow SMG....

Never thought it would do this bad.

It may have only slipped by 10% and be out of the top ten. Unless there's a huge gap between #10 and #11 this is actually encouraging news.

 

[Raw64life]

DQIV should have sold at least 3 billion more copies, but still a good start. Now bring this to America.

Assuming SMG sold 35k it would be at exactly 400k.

 

[Lightning]

Hmm... Super Mario Galaxy gone from top 10. DQIV sales are expected, I expect 12-1.4mil in Japan for the title.

Musou 5 losing it's legs, please keep selling!

WE08 better be restocked Konami so that supply is not strained for next weeks sales, if that is indeed what happened.

Overall, very close to Famitsu so I expect the hardware to be very close as well.


Not releated to this thread, but does anyone have the lifetime sales of all the main Final Fantasy games?

 

[Rlan]

Is that FFXI expansion the lowest beginning Final Fantasy Product ever?

 

[Jasoncheng]

NDS - 17
WII - 6
PS2 - 3
PS3 - 2
360 - 2

PSP:0?

 

[schuelma]

I hate to stop all the OH MY GAWWWWD GALAXY IS DOOMED POSTS, but this week it actually held up pretty well, numbers wise.

 

[Y2Kev]

NICE job DQ!

Why would you want such a shit game to continue selling?

 

[PantherLotus]

I don't think there's a way to spin this other than to point to actual predictions on a per-poster basis.

"Oh yeah, -->> I <<-- thought it would continue the trend of 3D marios, rather than the NSMB route, and here's my prediction to prove it: (nonexistant link)"




The real question now is:
If you were Iwata, would you let Shiggy and Co. spend another 3-4 years and 15-25 million developing the next 3D mario?

 

[schuelma]

Why not? It's the fastest selling Mario game ever in the U.S. Worldwide it will be just fine.

 

[reilo]

Shit games need loving, too

Sure, unless they keep all the dirty foreign money in a separate vault. And then burn it.

 

[Oblivion]

SMG out of the top 10? That didn't last too long at all.

Spoiler

More like Super Mario Supernova, am I right?

Spoiler

 

[Guled]

WOW at DQIV
NOOO at SMG

 

[Lightning]

Why would you want such a shit game to continue selling?

Did you not enjoy it?

 

[Grecco]

The real question now is:
If you were Iwata, would you let Shiggy and Co. spend another 3-4 years and 15-25 million developing the next 3D mario?

Its going to sell in the US so obviously yes.

If Japan alone was the reason they continued making the Zelda and Mario games as they do, things would be very different.

 

[Kastrioti]

The real question now is:
If you were Iwata, would you let Shiggy and Co. spend another 3-4 years and 15-25 million developing the next 3D mario?

SMG will sell 4 Million worldwide at the least when all is said and done.

Why would Nintendo not develop another Mario?

 

[Defuser]

Very nice numbers for DQIV.

 

[sprsk]

Did you not enjoy it?

No. Game is garbage. Total disgrace to the Musou series.

Supernova implies it exploded at one point. This is more like a dud firework fizzing out

No. Game is garbage. Total disgrace to the Musou series.

That sucks... I was totally looking forward to the US release.... DAMN.
