Pretty big drop for the PS3, it should go up with the release of GT5P but I expected the numbers to be more stable at the beginning of December.
We don't have anything to judge this by, but I guess most sales of a series with mass appeal like GT will still come in via retailers.
30k after a price drop, a new colour and during the busiest shopping season of the year would definetly be bad.Busaiku said:Next week is GT5right? I think sales for the PS3 could stabilize around 30k, given upcoming releases. Which isn't bad at all.
That will depend on your allignment. If the BR sales are disappointing a lot of people will pull the "I bet it sold most on PSN"-card.test_account said:

Out of Dragon quest:swords, I don't remember a third party game that has passed 200K LTD.
you want those games to get near that in their first week...
Mystery Dungeon is a popular series in Japan though, and one launching in holidays should be even popular.
Capcom sold 110k Umbrella Chronicles first week (and then fucked up by not shipping more!). Im sure We Love Golf will sell over 100k first week.
My Mystery Dungeon prediction is my weakest prediction though..

lol at Wii-PSP, MC sure likes to cross streams (they were quite apart in Famitsu). Poor PSP, I remember one very similar to this one with DS, you know, the last week PSP was above DS by Famitsu but MC closed them by a similar amount to this week Wii-PSP, around 86k it was iirc.
Oh about the Famitsu Top30, where is Mario Party 8? #19 in MC, not in top30 in Famitsu for that week :lol

Looks like the Wii and DS sales are back to the way they were before the slump, PS3 (Though it has dropped significantly) is a bit higher too!

The Wii and PS3 aren't the main systems in Japan. The DS is. The Wii is sorta the GBA except with a smaller presence on the software charts.

This is the holiday season. To be honest, I'm a little surprised to see PS3 sales go down week over week by that much.
Phife Dawg said:
Price drop and new colour were a month ago..it has gotten more mileage out of that than a lot of people might have thought pre-pricedrop.
Holidays - sure, but Wii is only just about getting back to 'pre-slump' non-holiday numbers (apparently?)..so it may not be the rising tide for all boats as one might have thought.
All that said, I'd like to see PS3 doing better, but at least it's still not back to pre-pricedrop numbers.

sinobi.ameblo.jp in case you want to follow it yourself. Babelfish / Google Trans do not do a good job, so you'll want to verify key phrases or words manually before acting on them.

Kind of low MnGP first day numbers. But I guess it's a series that gathers most of it's sales not on the first day, it'll have good legs.
NMH's numbers are not bad, expected worse. Uncharted's numbers were expected, no?
Sure Wii has sold insanely well during usual slow months but I wasn't talking about Wii in my post anyways. Wii's numbers are certainly not spectacular but over 70k is a pretty healthy number.
Sure PS3 does better since before the price drop but I think we can all agree that PS3 pulled pathetic numbers before, it's still tracking behind the GAMECUBE.
What's the use of comparing the systems at totally different points in their lifecycle?

Ceramic white wasn't a month ago. Price drop for the old models was more than a month ago.gofreak said:

Wii comparisons: At 53 weeks, Wii is where GCN was at 226.9 weeks (January 13, 2006), where GBA was at 39.8 weeks (December 21, 2001), where DS was at 53.0 weeks (December 3, 2005), where PS2 was at 62.9 weeks (May 12, 2001), and where PSP was at 91.2 weeks (September 4, 2006).Parmenides said:

I'm glad ToI seems well received as measured by the shipment. Even though I think that is what you would expect a Tales game to sell at least, even if it would have been a horrible one like Tempest again.

Why is 10K fot the first day for VF5 on 360 = EL Bomba. Everyone knows that the 360 doesn't have a great user base in Japan. Plus it is not like PS3 version set the world on fire either. What did that do 50K?
No More Heroes and Silent Hill 0 did no better on thier first day, but where is the El Bomba on those games?

Why, exactly?
Phife Dawg said:
Well, I'm talking relatively, obviously. One could as easily say that Wii's numbers are relatively disappointing given that it's supposed to be the holidays (vs prior non holiday numbers), as could say the same about PS3 and the holidays (and price drops and colours etc.). In absolute terms I wouldn't say they're unhealthy, obviously.
Or maybe you could say every week, barring the last few, have been the holidays for Wii
Also ceramic white was out Nov 11, IIRC, which is virtually a month ago now (4 weeks).

Heh.
I just don't understand the high expectations for a game like No More Heroes. Yes, it looks like great fun & deserves good sales, but it's a niche title from a niche developer that has had little-to-no marketing.
10k on day one is reasonable, and already takes it over the lifetime sales of Killer 7 on the GameCube and about halfway to the lifetime sales of the same game on the PS2, IIRC.
