I do not expect huge seller for FE, I am hoping for FE to be better than FE:pOR. If FE Wii can get 90K, it is already above my expectation, but still below my hope (which is 100K first week).

It's on a far smaller userbase, remember.

Not to mention that given sales, a significant portion of the userbase isn't exactly the hardcore gamer group.

The highest First Week sales for PSP so far is 149K (for SD Gundam G Generation Portable), which mean MPH2 accomplishment is very, very good.

If Prof. Layton started off around ~48,000 on its first day and Fire Emblem GoD is at ~50,000, then depending on the level of first week stock it could in all likelihood hit 100,000 by the end of the week with ease...no?

I am crossing my finger. Please, made it above 100K for first week.

MHP sold 500k while Fire Emblem, Naruto, and Sim City all bombed? I guess this must mean Japan has proven that it's just not interested in games anymore, or something.

Well, ethelred, it's not on the DS or the Wii, so obviously it can't be a non-game even though it's going to be a million-seller. It's good news for real gamers :p

I wonder how they'd go about making a Monster Hunter Portable 3rd when the console game is going to PS3 this time.

I think given that it's clear the series is more popular on a handheld, they'd just start making PSP-exclusive editions.

thracia 776 came in 1999 man seriously it sold a lot considering it came so late in the SNES life

Sword of Seals sold a lot but then again that was in the gba a much healthy platform.

PoR actually did pretty poorly and I think at the end of the day GoD could surpass it

I think tho, looking at those FE sales the series should move to handhelds since it sells more there.

I admit a DS Fire Emblem in 2d would be very hot but I guess FE10 was already in development for the cube so moving it to Wii made more sense than putting it on DS. I expect FE11 to be on DS.

I still can't believe that Nintendo released a game for the SNES when it was already more than halfway into the N64's lifespan (hell, it was pretty much the last really good year for the system before it started winding down in 2000).

Wii comparisons: At 12 weeks, Wii has passed what GameCube sold in 54 weeks; yep, past a year now. It's still only where DS was after about 6 weeks, though. It's where PS2 was at 11.4 weeks; it got a bit closer to PS2 this week than last.

PS3 comparisons: Hard to say it without sounding ugly, but at 15 weeks PS3 is where PS2 was 1 day into its second week, or where GameCube was at 14.2 weeks.

If Wii stopped selling and PS3 continued at this rate, it would catch up December 29, 2007. If "the flip" happened and PS3 started doing 63K each week to Wii's 20K, it would catch up July 19, 2007.

At this week's rates, DS and PS2 meet up December 8, 2007 at 21.0 million units apiece.

Really great. It is just incredible how well is the Wii selling in Japan.

Er wow, I mean good wow.

I won't ever predict again taking note of retailers orders :lol

Good for Fire Emblem too (I'm sure it'll be ~100k for the week). Very bad for Naruto as expected and deserved.

Highest first day sales ever for a psp game?
Click to expand...

Definitely. At this point, we can say that it is possible to make good sales on PSP in Japan, if great games come out. The fact that MHP2 is selling so well is clear: since the PSP came out, it sold decently on the hardware's front, but very bad on the software's side. So, when a great game comes out, the probabilities that it sells well is high. It really reminds me the N64 (well, a little bit worse in software's sales): only few big sellers, but when a AAA game come out, it sells a lot.

The problem is that I don't see others big games like MHP2 for the PSP that will come out in the short-medium term, exactly like the N64. And trust me if I say that the PS3 will follow the same path.

Yeah, it's a crazy ammount. Pretty bizarre, 10% attach rate on day 1.

I've only played the PS2 games, and I thought they sucked. Crappy dungeon crawlers with boring graphics.

u said , a lot " for a psp game" .... :)
Click to expand...

Then what ? The best first week for a PSP game was less then 200k. Then MHP2 came out and sold 500k: it is a lot, because all past games sold a lot less then that (in the first day). So, it is frankly damn good in general, but even more for a PSP game, because it will be the first million seller for the console. That's the point, don't take my words so literally.

500k day 1 sales? Unless selling purely to the already established market, I really think this is the PSPs best chance to crack 100k outside of a holiday.

When was the last time that happened?

You have to wonder whether Capcom would ever consider testing the water with a Monster Hunter spin-off for DS. Surely they wouldn't have much to lose as it would hardly water down the userbase that much.

Oh wow, if 500k is correct Johnnyram is 9879875 times better at guessing than I am. That's already higher than my prediction :(

New prediction:

MHP:500.1k
PSP: 10,577,080
DS: 199,999

Why? Just look at the sales of other Fire Emblem games, check out the post showing how Prof. Layton went from 48,000 on day one to 130,000 when the charts went live, plus also consider how decent the legs of Zelda and WarioWare have been, with both looking to cross 400,000 in a short time.

Fire Emblem GoD could possibly hit 250,000 in total...

Gyakuten Saiban 4 could be big. Maybe not platinum big, but it's high on Amazon Jpn's best seller list (number 2) and there's still a way to go until it's released.

I never expected FE to be a breakout success, but that doesn't mean I can't be sad that it isn't. 250k isn't terrible, but I was hoping the popularity of the Wii would drive up sales a bit higher. They should've released a DS version first!

Zelda hasn't really had legs. It's stayed in the top 50, but I think you're being a little generous. The 400k sales were pretty front-loaded in the first couple weeks of its lifecycle.

I can't even compare FE to Warioware.

Being that it's a direct sequel/extension of Path of Radiance, I think that also limits sales a bit.
