Comparison of SMS and SMG hardware bumps. Two weeks before to two weeks after.
It hasn't been this strong since 2001.Dragona Akehi said:

Based on hardware bases at time of release (estimating for the extra weeks in the US), the Japanese SMG attach rate after 4 days was 6.9%, and after 11 days was 8.9%. The US SMG attach rate after 7 days was ~9.3%. US is ahead, but not by a mile.sprocket said:
EDIT: Fixed Japanese day count.
Made this thingy of what I think Ghost Squad will sell. You guys can tell me if its a way off prediction or pretty fair prediction.
This is what I hope it sells but im not considering any sort oh Holiday bump.
Im also prediction Umbrella Chronicles to surpass 250k and make its way to 300k.

Who said this and when?
The one thing that can be agreed upon when it comes to Japan is that every console that has lead worldwide in hardware sold has also lead in Japan.
Wow, that was poorly worded. Someone rephrase that for me.

Yeah, I remember an interview (I'll try to track it down) where one member of the team explained that he got terrible motion sickness from a lot of games, and whenever they tweaked the camera or anything like that, they'd bring him in and sit him in front of it for five minutes. If he started feeling sick, they left it as it was before, and if he felt fine, they'd continue with the changes.
This is really a funny and unpredictable generation :lol It will be interesting to see sales during the upcoming weeks. Wii will have Wiifit, PS3 has Winning Eleven this week and GT5 Prologue in the second week of December.
If I'm not mistaking the japanese Xstmas season tipically starts the second week of December and ends in the second week of January, doesn't it? In that case we'll see sales going up for every platform soon.
IMO all the platforms expect 360 will do well this year in Japan.
Next year will be more interesting, PS3 has DMC4, Disgae3 and what else in January? Wii?

I was being sarcastic, but it's been brought up once in a while this past year. At least in MC-threads, post PS3-launch.
* Japanese devs can't compete with western devs in the graphix-department (xept when it comes to p@rty-games hurr hurr)
* Not a big market (|B<| <-- (Darth Vader says no.)
* R3al gaming is dead there anyway

A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...

It's odd, most 3d games don't bother me, but I was rather disoriented by it. I don't get nauseous, but there's definitely some vertigo.

You know what I don't understand? Why doesn't Nintendo make a 2D Mario for the Wii?
I see no reason why not. It'll be cheap to make, and will sell tons.
And it could represent a return of a dead genre to consoles. 2D Platforming.
Edit - It could even be 3D, but just played like a 2D platformer.

You mean the RPG?
Nintendo generally don't do things that would cannibalize another platform.ComputerNerd said:
The reason they haven't made a "real" Pokemon RPG for consoles.
While it doesn't look like it would harm DS at all, Pokemon on consoles probably wouldn't have harmed GB/C/A either. Meh, Nintendo logic..

Yeah, Super Paper Mario isn't even close to what I was thinking about.
I was thinking about a traditional Mario 2D (or 3D but played like 2D) platformer.
Super Paper Mario was an RPG, had TONS upon TONS upon TONS of text, and the patforming parts were off and weird. It was a mix of 2D and 3D.
New Super Mario Brothers showed that 2D platforming still has a place in the market.
Funny how things can change in just 3 weeks.
Galaxy didn't put Wii way up high again.
Galaxy didn't push as much software as we thought at least for now
Xbox360 outsold PS3 (for a week)
PS3 outsold Wii twice in a row
Oh well, in 2 weeks Wii Fit and 1 week later (?) GT5P so it should be interesting

Has anyone started to question Wii being a fad? I never thought I would say that, but looking at Japan, maybe Wii was a fad....in Japan.

Oh god no. Just look at that charted posted a few pages back that showed the PS2 numbers in November throughout the years.
They all started November around where the Wii is at, and picked up only in the last week (in one case, it was the last two weeks).

Orrrrrrrrrr Wii in Japan has a more casual audience that is under-interested in core game experiences and over-interested in party games and non-gamer-targeted software... as some of us have been suggesting for a while now.

Maybe, maybe not.
RE:UC is doing very well, and RE4 did well.
DQ:Swords did well
Fire Emblem and Paper Mario are going to do better than their GC predecessors.
I agree there are some definite examples of your hypothesis, but there are also examples tentatively pointing the other way.

3D platformers just don't do that well in Japan. Even Mario 64, the grand master of 3D platformers, and also the best selling one ever, sold what was it? 1.6 million in Japan?
Out of over 10 million worldwide. If I recall, even the US bought over 5 million Mario 64's.
I think Mario 64 is the only 3D platformer to ever sell over a million in Japan.

when does Trauma Center 2 come out in Japan and will it chart? or is it one of those strange Japanese games made specifically for the North American market? much Like Cooking Mama DS has turned into in the UK...

I think one or two of the PS Crash games might have as well, but I'm not sure. But if not then just Mario 64 and the DS version.ComputerNerd said:
