I seem to keep reading this line more and more recently :\

that's great news. Keep us in touch.Jonnyram said:Anecdotal sales news:
Biohazard UC Zapper bundle is sold out everywhere I went at lunchtime :O
Maybe it could do quite well. I even saw some poor fool fondling a Ghost Squad Zapper bundle while holding individual BH:UC in the other hand. But his intelligence finally got the better of him and he put both back on the shelf. Will check my local store tonight. They usually have shitloads more than other stores.
Famitsu has its predecessor and it starting out very similarly. If DBZBT3 has legs like DBZBT2, it could be surprisingly high by the time we see it again.Stumpokapow said:and occasionally bombs (Dewey, Zack and Wiki, DBZBT3).
schuelma said:Ok, so our next fun debate will commence Friday morning for 1st day RE:UC sales.
What are we expecting? What would represent a positive for Nintendo?
Any news on Heavenly Sword? That released today in Japan.Jonnyram said:Anecdotal sales news:

Hero said:I'll reserve judgment on Mario Galaxy's performance until after the Japanese holiday season. I have a feeling that a lot of people are waiting for the holiday shopping to pick it up for the younger and casual crowd. I'm also certain that Wii Fit will boost Mario's numbers.
We usually get the 1st days from sinobi's blog around Friday.Lobster said:I take back what I said about Galaxy in last weeks thread Instead I agree with everyone in that thread.
Will we get UC first day numbers? Im really interested in the sales of that game.

Mario Galaxy boosted Wii Sports and Wii plays numbers. They appeal to different crowds.

Wii: 30,000
PS3: 40,000
This thread will get ugly tomorrow

davepoobond said:you keep telling yourself that
and i bet the PS3 will be JUST under Wii. But Wii will increase by a couple of thousand, so PS3 will end up having nearly 40,000 anyway.
Lobster said:Not by a lot but it definitely boosted the numbers. Wii Play got boosted more then Wii Sports.
davepoobond said:it didn't boost any numbers. Wii Sports and Wii Play have been doing those numbers for the past 3 months. The only reason Wii Sports charted in the top 10 is outside the top 3 or 4, the games are getting crappy ass sales
NO U!!HAL_Laboratory said:Maybe we're the ones that are fucked up.
Don't apologize!Lobster said:ok. I believe you. Sorry.
Preliminary numbers have put PS3 at 56k and Wii at 36K round about. The same numbers had exact numbers for DW6 and SMG sales... so I guess they are credible.davepoobond said:and i bet the PS3 will be JUST under Wii.

Vinnk said:Ok, I will do a "Vinnk's Village" report this week. What should I look for?
I will check B:UC for sure and PS3, anything else?

Close. This is Non-Gundam Musou.perfectchaos007 said:So basically the PS3 boost was gundam + pricedrop + White PS3?
Numbers were posted already. No one but die-hard Sony fans expected this to sell gangbusters but even with realistically low expectations these numbers are disappointing.Tideas said:do ratchet games really do that well in Japan? I thought 13k is pretty good for a first week
MC threads are slowly turning into NPD threads .msdstc said:it's guaranteed to that's something I'd bet my account on this game will sell more than a half mill worldwide, it's such a joke this guy is just trolling the shit outta ps3
dude seriously you're one of the biggest fanboys I've ever seen you really have an anger towards sony for some reason.
lets say this... dynasty warriors 5 released 2005, ps2 has an extremely well established user base, sells 900k
ps3 dynasty warriors 6 comes out, so far it starts out at 190k, almost a quarter of the sales, now by the end of it's life time after the holidays and sales it'll wind up with probably about 50% of the ps2 sales... in 2005 there was probably 10 times as many ps2s as ps3s for the record in Japan.
oh yah and by your logic Mr. fanboy, mario galaxy isn't just a bomb, it's a fucking travesty.
edit- by the way, I'm one of those galaxy sales come next week I have nothing against the wii. I admit my bias towards sony I just hate blind fanboyism this guy is a raging fanboy.
It was Musou, the price drop for the old PS3s was already in effect, though you could argue that the introduction of the cheaper 40G is another price drop.perfectchaos007 said:So basically the PS3 boost was gundam + pricedrop + White PS3?
