powerless or are they? o_O
Oh, this reminds me. I just bought FF III the other day and am totally impressed - one of the few RPGs I can really dig. I don't see it in the Japanese charts anymore. Is it deader than dead now?

you are changing the argument, if I understand you correctly.
I wasn't talking about opinions or predictions about the future of the PS3 in the japanese market. I was addressing forum members "demanding" PS3 software in the software list in the first post, the media create of THIS exact week. We all knew the PS3 would have no titles in the top 20 of this week and yet people act like its a surprise and the megaton of the holidays. It's annoying, if you ask me.

Shouldn't it be sort of worrying or troubling that the PS3 doesn't though?
I'm fairly sure PS2 had at least one title in the top 30 at launch.
It's definitely not a GOOD thing for Sony, no matter how you spin it. Even if it isn't a surprise, it deserves to be commented on.

Doax not int he top 30. No legs.
pol's voice said:
you are right, I am not trying to spin it. PS3 is in what seems a swamp, moving everything ( HW, SW and Peripherals ) at a very.....slow......untroubled..........comfortable........ pace.
I sure wanted them to fall from 1st place but I don't want sony/PS to disappear. It would be unhealthy for the indrusty.
on other things:
when was the last time a PSP 3rd party exclusive was announced in japan?? I know there are titles coming (FFVII:CC, etc.) , I mean an announcement about a game made from the ground up for PSP. which one was the last one ? Any info?

I dunno - it would probably sell better in the US than Japan. I think last week it sold 40,000 copies or so, and 30th this week is probably what, 3000? So figure it might hit 50,000 total there.
That said, I don't think we are going to see it in the US. Sony doesn't seem inclined to bring over RPGs and I doubt any of the 3rd party companies will be doing PSP games by next year.

Pretty much. That game's never coming back up unless it drops in price.

It was at about 860k a few weeks ago. Maaaybe it's up to 900k. it's floating between 7 to 10 k a week I think. If we get top 50 data, I'd think it'd be just below Jeanne d'arc.

You forgot DS. Hopefully they won't make us wait too long for that port of JEANNE D'ARC.

PSP first 3 weeks:

DS first 3 weeks:

It was basically Q1 2005 where PSP outsold DS. During 11 weeks of being in the lead, PSP outsold DS by 204,336.
Considering that things are usually only available for 3 days on their first week, and that if it really came close to selling out the 3rd day sales would probably be negligible, I don't think this makes much difference.Xeke said:

Just let them think that it's a period of sales of one week, and then next week the second week sales will suddenly seem huge!Xeke said:

I'm tired of seeing people saying its the end for New Super Mario Bros. and ANimal Crossing.
PLEASE look at how #10 is at 60,000 units, meaning NSMB and ACWW guranteed did MORE than they did last week, and have even surprisingly pulled back ahead of Brain Age 2 (at least surprising for ACWW).
Will ACWW once again show that it OWNS the holidays as it did that fateful last year that cememnted DS's strangehold on the market?
If Pokemon Pearl sells 20,000 units more than NSMB this week, Pokemon D/P will be the DS's top selling game. If not, New Super Mario Bros. will be (excellent ^_^) if it sells 20k more than Brain Age 2. How will this play out?
I'm really sad for Zelda TP sales, even though I know it's Japan, and two days, and short Wii stock, and it's also on GCN. I've just cheered myself up

Awesome start for ToD! 270k out of 280k first shipment! Go Tales, Go (although I guess next week it will be gone)
Surprising to see FFVI selling as good as FFV, I thought FFVI would get more love. Nice Summon Night 4 sales, surpasses the start of Extasy although lower than SN3.
Love & Berry dissapoints again, I told you last week guys...that 800k first shipment is quite a lot. I guess it'll have legs and meet that, maybe it really was necessary to put that amount because of the card reader. Jump otoh has a really good second week.
Surprised to see Ryu Ga Gotoku still above 16k at least, its total plus what the first edition sold should be really near 500k already. Bodes well for the sequel next week.
Prediction time: I think PS2 > PSP > PS3 this week.

Could also be that the parents of the 6 year old girls getting this game didn't want to wade through all the Wii lines. Expect a big boost as xmas and new years approach. And I think I heard somewhere that there wasn't going to be any new card readers till next year, so the 800k has to last all holiday. It might not be enough.

regarding the 360... i think its reasonable to believe that 360 is bombing in japan because its a north american product.
why people don´t say that? is there any study on how well western companies fare in japan? is coke/general motors/nike a sucess or a flop? maybe a study like that would help us understand xbox in japan.
i think this argument is valid. it boggles my mind that japanese games can be sucesfull worldwide, but western games just don´t make in japan. even when they are very similar in style, the western game bombs (god of war) while the japanese sell a lot (DMC). i think crash bandicoot is the only western title i can think of that sold really well in japan... anybody else with better examples in this subject?
----------------------------
about PS3... i kind of root for sony because i really like their 1st party software... i wasen´t worried a few months back... but now... things are just terrible. they can´t continue to ship 30k consoles a week... european launch? another disappointment? there´s a saying in life that only time heals. i bet sony would really like to fast foward to june/july 2007. this start of gen has been brutal for then

Wrong. And besides, it's only tracking 2 days since launch and people don't buy 5 games on launch day.

Doubt it. Sales numbers for DSL and DS games actually went up...it's just that the top 6 games this week all sold over 100k and are NEW

I wanna bet all of Neogaf's Nintendo fanboys ejaculated reading this thread
I am more interested to hear comments from Sony however. Knowing their marketing (read: spinning) team, that would be good for a laugh.
