Wow, what a rebound for the Wii. I guess Wii Fit actually did make a difference.

Cue "The gap is closing!" press release.perfectchaos007 said:
I'm not a fan of JRPGs but from what I understand the Mysterious Dungeons series is basically an old-school dungeon crawler. So just because they added that yellow bird thing it's sad if it was to sell better than other games? Or did they water down the play mechanics? And if so, how?reilo said:

Wow at the Wii. It seems the slow down is over.
Animal Crossing WW is back it seems. And Wario Ware Wii too.Cheesemeister said:

It has at least a game in the top 10 (Minna no Golf 2) and 5 games in the top 50. Always poor software's sales in comparison to the performance of the hardware.

Xbox 360 had Lost Odyssey released. I dont think the numbers would have gone up to ~8k if it wasnt for this game, but who knows
Mithos Yggdrasill said:
It hasn't been out of the top 50 and this is it's lowest rank yet though sales probably were higher than the previous week. It will be very surprising if it leaves the top 50 during the holiday. It should have a huge boost, but the current position (#46) is much worse than I would have predicted a month ago. Same goes for More Brain Age.

Yeah most of the DS non-games are starting to die, it's going to be interesting to see what Nintendo is going to bring out in 2008. Brain Training 3 seems to be a sure candidate.

All Wii games minus Chocobo are doing terrible, at least in those first day sales.
Wtf...only 40k We Love Golf shipment? Thats some nice support there Capcom..Why didn't you advertise it???
The Chocobo sales were alright..but I was way off expecting over 100k.. :\
I guess Wii third party are just relying on other regions now. Japan is saying no to Japanese centric games...

What the hell has happened to consoles in Japan? When the PS2 finally dies off will the console software market go with it?
Much to ponder... so little time... pretentiousness wearing thin...

I don't think they'll disappear, but mainline Tales and DQ going DS are likely only the beginning of a larger handheld pilgrammage.Lobster said:

Looking at those Wii first day numbers in the midst of the holiday, this does seem true more then ever. Either that or Japan only loves Nintendo.Defuser said:

It might sink in more if MH3 and FFXIII "bomb".BishopLamont said:

I don't think they will bomb, Japanese still love their proven million selling franchises. It's the relatively weaker ones that seem to suffer the most.Thunder Monkey said:
I don't think console gaming is dead, but console gaming has to change if it wants to survive in Japan. Wii Fit is successful because it's only something you can do at home, similar to why Animal Crossing DS was such a big hit because it makes sense to play it on the go instead of at home.
GT4P opened with ~220K in its first week, GT5P should have ~75K on the chart, I'd guess at least 150K total including downloads. This is about expected from a declining franchise, for opening. Through retail the game looks unlikely to come close to the 1 million or so copies GT4P managed.
Chocobo MD sold decently, ~50K for the week, could manage 100K total, maybe more. Nights, SCL, We Love Golf all bombed, which isn't surprising.
And I think it says Wii Fit has been restocked, and it's back in stock (and at no.1) at Amazon Japan. Nintendo seems to be handling this one nicely.
Nintendo has a good chance of holding onto great sales in Japan over the coming months with their current line-up and SSBB, Wii Music and MKWii in early 2008. What I think could happen is a DS type effect, as we're already starting to see. Wii Sports, Wii Fit, SMG and Wii Music, MKWii, SSBB, could combine into consistent system sellers.
I think the Japanese home market is in Nintendo's hands, if they can continue delivering compelling, Wii Sports/Fit level quality sw, they could continue to have huge, PS2 type, success.
Similar to what has happened with DS, Nintendo's direction could bring about a reinvigoration of all kinds of gaming on home consoles in Japan, which would be good for everyone.

Well, there was the whole, 'home console gaming is dying', sensationalist/reactionary theory. It's still early, but hopefully home console gaming is fine, and in fact thriving, all it needed was Wii Fit, i.e. more new, innovative games unique to the strengths of home systems. Console gaming as definied by some of the hardcore is still in trouble, but you can't have everything, at least not immediately, especially after the way (all) developers treated the market with endless sequels with minor improvements.Defuser said:

Nights and We Love Golf is taking advantage of the Wiimote yet it still fails to garner decent sales, I mean if Wii Sports is selling, why won't We Love Golf? One would think We Love Golf would appeal more to the Wii audience more then Chocobo, yet sales shows otherwise. Well we'll see how much it goes on for the rest of the week and see it's legs to come to any conclusions.

Without numbers of downloads we can't give an accurate opinion of the sales of GT5P
(besides is cheaper via download if I'm not in a mistake)
Very poor third party soft sales on wii
And the "mistery" again: psp, sony would be release new colors every week :lol
spwolf said:they expected 250k GT5P to be sold and then made 150k copies.
So they expected to sell 100k+ online. I think they'll do it..anyone who owns a Ps3 in Japan will obviously see it online..it being downloadable online gives it the most potential of selling out of the "prologues"
