That could realistically push the number to about 2K.
Yeah too bad for locoroco, I think many might've thought that it would sell better than the first one, just like Namaikida and Patapon 2.Kurosaki Ichigo said:
But I'm more suprised with Yakyuu Spirits' numbers. This looks really really bad.
Isn't the Yakyuu series one of Konami's flagship titles for Japan?
Doesn't look too good.

I soo want this game. D:
:lol I always thought LocoRoco 2 on PSP was a waste of time and money , Tsutomu Kouno is very good Director with great new and fresh ideas , putting him on PSP game instead of full platform game on PS3 was pure stupid move from SCEJ .
now they should port LocoRoco 2 to PS3 720p and use sixaxis to tilt the world put it on Playstation Store in NA and Europe and at least make some money this way .
hell fucking no
Pro Yakyuu Spirits 5 Kanzenban is the realistic baseball game from Konami not that chibi superbaseball game Pawapuro
this is Yakyuu Spirits 5
the big baseball game from Konami is Jikkyo Powerful Pro Yakyu / Powerpro , there is no PS3 version for it yet .

Based on the latest Famitsu hardware numbers...
PSP comparisons: After 207 weeks, PSP is where PS2 was at 154.6 weeks (February 13, 2003), where DS was at 92.0 weeks (September 3, 2006), and where GBA was at 140.2 weeks (November 24, 2003).
X360 comparisons: After 155 weeks, X360 is where GCN was at 15.1 weeks (December 24, 2001), where PS3 was at 19.7 weeks (March 23, 2007), and where Wii was at 4.1 weeks (December 25, 2006).
PS3 comparisons: After 107 weeks, PS3 is where PS2 was at 23.9 weeks (August 12, 2000), where PSP was at 54.6 weeks (December 22, 2005), where GCN was at 109.3 weeks (October 14, 2003), and where Wii was at 25.9 weeks (May 26, 2007).
Wii comparisons: After 104 weeks, Wii is where GBA was at 91.0 weeks (December 15, 2002), where DS was at 71.4 weeks (April 12, 2006), where PS2 was at 101.0 weeks (February 3, 2002), and where PSP was at 156.6 weeks (December 6, 2007).
DSi comparisons: After 4 weeks, DSi is where GBASP was at 5.8 weeks (March 22, 2003), where GBM was at 23.6 weeks (February 23, 2006), and where DSL was at 4.4 weeks (March 29, 2006).
Based on the latest Media Create hardware numbers...
DS vs PSP: Weekly shares of 67.4 / 32.6 bring total shares to 69.0 / 31.0. If DS stopped selling and PSP continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 242.7 weeks (July 27, 2013).
X360 vs PS3: Weekly shares of 24.6 / 75.4 bring total shares to 24.0 / 76.0. If PS3 stopped selling and X360 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 148.1 weeks (October 3, 2011).
PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares of 41.2 / 58.8 bring total shares to 25.9 / 74.1. If Wii stopped selling and PS3 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 131.3 weeks (June 7, 2011).
Week over week, there's really no constant pattern to the changes. PS3 doubling is the biggest obvious difference this week.
Software stuff later.

It should be possible to get one with that shows 0 values, I think it's just the way I "worded" my request. Rather than saying "For every week, find the number of titles from Platform X in the top 10.", I said "Find all the times games from this system were in the top 10, then group them by week."donny2112 said:

Kirby Super Star Ultra Deluxe (3265) continues its double-weeking streak. Its first week was bigger than any other modern Kirby's two week total. Its two week total was bigger than any other modern Kirby's four week total. Its third week total is now bigger than any other modern Kirby's six week total. It's doubtful this can be maintained; it would need to sell 290K copies next week to match Squeak Squad's weeks 7 & 8.
Animal Crossing City Folk (3281) doesn't have quite the first week number of Wild World (95), but since it had fewer days on the market in its first week it may have been more successful for that smaller time period. In the case of this image it gives its line segment a slightly steeper appearance. Also worth noting that this is the third biggest first week for a Wii game, behind Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario Kart Wii.

Great performance for Kirby, cheers for the graph JJ, appreciated.
Nobody interested in the 31-50 list anymore? People used to jump at getting it translated...And Panther, I thought you were going to keep a track of the DSL and DSi numbers separately? It would be good to have accurate totals for the two.
Anyway, here's 31-50:
31.) Mega Man Star Force 3: Black Aces (NDS, Capcom)
32.) Kyotaro Nishimura DS Suspense Series 2 (NDS, Tecmo)
33.) Shinsengumi Bakumatsu (NDS, D3Publisher)
34.) World Soccer Winning Eleven 2009 (360, Konami)
35.) Rhythm of Life w/ Pedometer (NDS, Nintendo)
36.) Family Ski & Snowboard (Wii, Namco Bandai)
37.) Inazuma Eleven (NDS, Level-5)
38.) Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3, Capcom)
39.) Far Cry 2 (360, Ubisoft)
40.) Wii Play (Wii, Nintendo)
41.) Shiren the Wanderer DS 2: Magic Castle in the Desert (NDS, SEGA)
42.) Mario Kart DS (NDS, Nintendo)
43.) Diet Shape Wii Boxing! (Wii, Rocket Company)
44.) Prinny (PSP, Nippon Ichi)
45.) Junjou Romanchika (Limited Edition) (PS2, Marvelous)
46.) Mega Man Star Force 3: Red Joker (NDS, Capcom)
47.) Power Management Convenience Store (NDS, Nippon Ichi)
48.) Taiko no Tatsujin DS: Seven Island Adventure (NDS, Namco Bandai)
49.) Moe Moe War 2: Deluxe (PSP, SystemSoft Alpha)
50.) Resistance 2 (PS3, SCE)

I find it really peculiar how rhythm tengoku, which had nothing going for it in terms of publicity and promotion manages to do what Wii music should have.
Its like we are in a tangent timeline, like somthing from Donny Darko. Maybe we are. What with the politics, Obama and the financial plight.
I hope it finds its stride, because its a great Christmas gift.

JoshuaJSlone said:
Tried that already, and it still left the 0 weeks off. COUNT should return 0 as a valid value, so I figure it's probably a setting on the database itself. I even tried an IF block on the SELECT string to replace the 0 value with the word "zero," and it left it off. :/
jesusraz said:
I have the DSi at 538,177 through this week. From the weekly numbers, I have the DSL at 17,153,189. There should be an adjustment of -4 on the total to the DS hardware, but I don't recall how it is separated between DS and DSL.

Cheers for the slight correction. I gave up totally on the DS/DSL split ages ago, so when DS was basically '0' each week I was more than happy to just plump those two together.donny2112 said:
Since DSL is still selling well, though, I'm keen to keep track of the DSi and DSL totals. Hopefully Panther, or whomever takes on the role of thread starter over the next few weeks, takes this up.
By the way, who reckons there will be quite a leap in DSL sales when Rhythm Tengoku GBA is re-released?
Dash Kappei
Not actually that important
jesusraz said:
I think everybody and their dogs have a DsLite in Japan at this point, that was the whole point of releasing the DSi.
Nope, I don't think we'll se a big leap in sales, the usual fluctuations plus something minor like +3/5k maybe.

Hmm, well I'm just thinking that when the DSi launched there appeared to be very low DSL stock, but now Nintendo's balancing things more the DSL has jumped back up (people keep thanking Pokémon fans...but I'm sure that's not the sole reason), and I expect it to go up even more in the run-up to Christmas.Dash Kappei said:

Not sure about the database settings. Since they're set on a server basis and I can't change them, it's something to work around rather than directly change anyway. Let me see if I can do an improved one that will show 0 weeks. Of course it will still be missing the periods where Famitsu combines two weeks into one and I don't consider those rankings as being the weekly ranks for either week, but hey.donny2112 said:
Here's one for PSP. I basically had it take my previous version and join it to a list of all weeks found in SoftwareWeekly. Weeks without any in the Top 10 don't show 0, but are null. Since it shows every week in the table that includes ones from years before the platform's release, but it'd be easy enough to specify a more appropriate time period.

I hacked it to be just for the weeks with a PSP game listed and to display zeroes instead of null.

3. DSi vs. DSL:
4. @ jesusraz: Trying to figure out the best way to show DS vs. DSi data while being able to use my current set-up for charting purposes. I think what I'll do from now on will be including the separate DSi Total underneath the main hardware totals box. That could be used to subtract from the DS+ totals from above.
Here's how I will present the data in the future: I will still include DSi data in the DS+ hardware set (DS+DSL+DSi), but I will include the DSi totals as a separate line at the bottom. Here is how this week's would look:

If they wanted LR2 to sell, they probably would have marketed it in some way, shape, or form. I have seen no TV ads, no point-of-purchase displays, and perhaps most shockingly, no ads in Famitsu. They did infinity times more advertising for Patapon 2. It's weird as hell.

I'm not expecting anything spectacular, but something like 75k in the first week would be really solid. Though, besides GAF hype, I have no real measure of what the buzz around it is like in Japan. I'm guessing that it was a fairly popular arcade game, so some of that should transfer over to the Wii platform. We'll see this Friday, I guess.

Note that PS3 has only had one week over 80K yet. One week above 100K would be unprecedented. Two would be... double unprecedented.pseudocaesar said:

I think it has to do more with Layton 1 having been out in the market for longer. The difference between Village and Box is not that much, considering the time frame between the two.

Looking at them after similar time periods... the last number I have for Layton 2 is mid-2008, about seven months after launch: 819K. Seven months after Layton 1's launch would be September 2007. I don't have a number for then, but in early July it was 594K and by late November 683K. So Layton 2 is ahead for the same age.Regulus Tera said:
However, it's almost inevitable that later games in a series will be more front-loaded. The first time around it's an unknown quantity that people may only get after hearing positive impressions, but the next time around they know whether or not they want to get it much sooner. So if we look at how sales increased relative to the first week number, Layton 1 clearly appears to have bigger growth.
This image is also evidence that when I added in the ability to show legs by treating all first weeks equally, I didn't check what happened when a week of unknown total (saved as 0) is run across. :lol

Actually, the performance of these two series is very similar. This year's PowerPro 15 did about 250k on the charts between PS2 and Wii (200k PS2, 50k Wii). This year's Pro Baseball did 275k between PS2 and PS3 (180k PS2, 90k PS3).Totobeni said:
The low numbers for the title this week are due to its being an expansion (note the Kanzenban subtitle) and not a full game. At 10k first day it'll likely hit about 20k first week and 40k lifetime, which is about in the range of the PowerPro spinoffs which feature MLB players.
PowerPro does have a series of popular portable versions on PSP, though, so I guess it's a bit more successful as a brand.

Its a no show going by brand strength, Pawapuro is old as hell, has sold like hotcakes forever, releases on lots of systems yearly and also had expansions.Liabe Brave said:
Its 'had' though, this year there will be no Ketteiban December release, and I think its the first year without this since 1997 or even before! PS2 edition has been losing steam on all its versions and the Wii versions are also going down and they weren't near PS2 numbers to begin with.
Pawapuro has been moving to DS/PSP, specially with the latest ones, Pawapuro Pocket 11 DS hits on 12/18 and will probably sell like hotcakes again (274k last year). PSP Pawapuro Portable 3 has done 275k this year too.
Pro Yakyuu Spirits on the other hand is fairly new (if I'm not missing anything). PS2-exclusive yearly releases since 2004, peaking this year with the PS2 doing 200k and the PS3 version doing 90k (last year they were 197k and 69k, previously only on PS2 and way lower numbers).
This is the first Spirits expansion for December.

Yeah, I was a doofus to forget the DS versions, since that's essentially the mainline portable ones (they're numbered in sequence with the GBA games); the PSP series is the subsidiary version.Kurosaki Ichigo said:
Though the Spirits name started in 2004, I believe Konami started the series in 2001. It was called Pro Baseball Japan at first, then Pure Pro Baseball. Still, it's a youngster compared to Power Pro, which began in 1994.Kurosaki Ichigo said:
Overall Pro Spirits is really a good example of Konami building a brand (or milking it, depending on your viewpoint). Once solid PS2 sales were established, in 2006 they added a 360 version. That bombed, but in 2007 they replaced it with a PS3 version (about 75k). This year as the PS3 base version improved (nearly 100k), they added a Kanzenban for it, which is doing only slightly worse than the PS2 version. (To be fair, though, it looks like the PS2 one will underperform last year's.)
