BTW, best third party first week sales on a "next gen" handheld.

Well it's pretty good for a dead system, at any rate.

 

[Oblivion]

Didn't NSMB sold 900,000 on it's first week?

Non-games don't count.

 

[Tabris]

Well it's pretty good for a dead system, at any rate.

Yeah, it definitely did beat a non-gamer system for best third party sales in the first week... you know, at any rate.

By the way, this is me not taking you seriousely

 

[Vinnk]

It's unfair because these two game are aiming at different audience.

Yup. DS owners and PSP owners.

 

[cvxfreak]

It's a great record, but DQIX is going to demolish it. So cherish the record for the next few months.

:lol That was some major ownage back when Love and Berry was released.

I will!

 

[Jokeropia]

Didn't NSMB sold 900,000 on it's first week?

And Pokemon as mentioned sold 1.6 million. They're both first party, however.

 

[Dragona Akehi]

So Tabris, where've you been for the past little while? Media Create threads are never the same without you.

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

I can't believe Naruto came within 3k of VF5's first week...

Well, that aside, great numbers all around. Gotta be a lot of happy campers at the game companies in Japan this week.

 

[sphinx]

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker is at spot eight...

sorry, I suppose I am a little sleepy.

Zelda

eh, yes, it's true.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Non-games don't count.

Oh Snap!

seriously what is this Sega Dreamcast joke I don't get it?

 

[AniHawk]

People take me seriously?

 

[Fio]

Now only first week numbers matters. :lol

 

[xsarien]

People take me seriously?

I don't!

 

[Hcoregamer00]

PSYCHO CHICKS WIN BY LANDSLIDE, KA NA, KA NA?!

It's true, psycho chicks are hot.

Spoiler

In anime, not real life

 

[Jammy]

Naruto Wii will outsell Virtua Fighter 5 in the long run (or short run, actually), sadly. I give it three more weeks.

 

[Cruceh]

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker is at spot eight...

Is DQMJ still supply-constrained?
Anyway, nice sales for MHP2

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

Yeah, the userbase difference essentially ensures it. Still kind of weird to think about.

 

[Grecco]

People take me seriously?

I do


Anyways. I wonder if Sega will decide to port over PSO on the PSP soon to see if they can copy some of Capcoms success.

 

[Yamauchi]

Best third party sales in a week. :lol They'll go for anything, won't they?

Also, it's nice that 4 Wii titles are in the Top 10. The new generation has finally arrived in Japan.

 

[sphinx]

will people just quit with the stupid 3rd party vs 1st party software sales arguments?

Good games that have good marketing and appeal SELL BIG on ANY console, regardless of the publisher.

Square Enix has a couple million sellers, Namco-Bandai has at least 1 on the DS.

The fact that DS has like 15 million sellers and PSP only 2 only proves that DS is a more viable platform if you want big sales, period. There's no way to spin that.

[Raw64life]

Fast foward to December 2007...

 

[Dragona Akehi]

Hmmm.

Don't push yourself, Tabris! You need to pace yourself here.

 

[duderon]

:lol :lol :lol @ Tabris back in a Media Create thread right when MHP2 is on top of the charts

 

[Vic]

Anyone have the numbers for Kirby Squeak Squad?

 

[Hcoregamer00]

Anyways. I wonder if Sega will decide to port over PSO on the PSP soon to see if they can copy some of Capcoms success.

And charge $15 a month.

No thanks.

 

[AniHawk]

Hmmm.

Well I guess we could start going to "who has more third party million sellers," but that would be just silly. Million sellers aren't games.

Are you new to this place?

 

[Oblivion]

Hmmm.

Remember guys, this is a sprint, not a marathon.

 

[NintendosBooger]

Jesus, Nintendo. If you keep owning the top 10, some company is going to nail you with an anti-trust suit. Share some more of those spots, goodness!

 

[Defuser]

15 million sellers of non games AMIRITE?

 

[fresquito]

15 million sellers of non games AMIRITE?

Could it be otherwise?

 

[A Human Becoming]

FE sales aren't bad. Will it have legs though?

 

[Hcoregamer00]

15 million sellers of non games AMIRITE?

Japan is dead, America is the last bastion of true games.

Europe has Singstar and that buzzing game, they are almost there too.

Spoiler

Am I getting close to Fanboy Level?

 

[Mrbob]

:lol :lol :lol @ Tabris back in a Media Create thread right when MHP2 is on top of the charts

Planned perfectly!

 

[Oblivion]

Planned perfectly!

Those years of patience were well worth it.

 

[d[-_-]b]

omg
Wii is matching PS2 in games on top 30 is it a sign, tune in next week on another episode of MC Sales.

 

[Hcoregamer00]

How long will it take before the PS2 finds out about it's evil twin?

We all win

 

[Monk]

Has there really been any real big third party games on the DS that is not a remake or side game?

 

[Finn]

This is my first MC thread, and I feel like I should revel in all its fanboy glory.

And now that I'm done doing that, good to see Wii having four titles up in the top 10, along with a few DS games as well. No surprise, of course, but still good to see.

Amazing for MPH2, though we'll have to see if it has legs. I'd reckon that it'll reach million seller status in either a week or two.

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

Has there really been any real big third party games on the DS that is not a remake or side game?

Tamagotchi, if that counts. Love and Berry. But really, under those qualifications there hasn't even been a real big any-party PSP game that meets the criteria. This industry is the master of the sequelitis.

 

[TheGreatDave]

Has there really been any real big third party games on the DS that is not a remake or side game?

Tamagotchi? And I dunno if Love & Berry counts.

[davepoobond]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!













whoooooooooo!

 

[PiccoloCube]

oh no pokemon is almost outside top 30

ABANDON SHIP!!!!!!!!

 

[Durante]

I said wow, not so much at MHP but rather at Higurashi. Does anyone know how well the PC game(s) sold?

 

[phez]

woo crackdown! go next-gen!

 

[Hcoregamer00]

Tamagotchi? And I dunno if Love & Berry counts.

*edit* Segata - Thunder thief

It counts because it is the first console version of the arcade game.

 

[cvxfreak]

oh no pokemon is almost outside top 30

ABANDON SHIP!!!!!!!!

It's in the top 10 combined.
