Actually, that's kinda disappointing.

Unless that's all they shipped.

Disappointing? Explain.



And it says there's an 80% sell through, so it's more or less "all they shipped".

 

[donny2112]

so I assume the famitsu one is the more reliable using joshuas tool when comparing something to game cube..

are there any other systems where that's the case?
just to be sure for future usage

Use Famitsu for everything released before the DS.

Here's the correct GCN vs. PS3 graph.

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Are there any other 1st day numbers?

Right now there aren't. I suppose sinobi will update later with other titles numbers (gundam 00 or geass come to mind).

 

[sprsk]

It's the sequel to the best selling game of the year, a game you pretty much see being played everywhere you go.

I was expecting 800-1mill.

They didn´t ship that many you know.

I can´t wait *lol*

 

[test_account]

The Gamecube's starting date in the Media Create version is off (2002-12-30 vs 2001-09-10 in the Famitsu graph). I.e. the Media Create graph is missing GC's first three and a half months, including all holiday sales.

I did copy/paste the launch dates for both PS3 and GC from the list on this:

http://joshuajamesslone.name/wiki/t...+Japanese+Hardware+Sales+Line+Graph+Generator

So i dont know why the GC date changed. Maybe thats the first data for GC from Media Create. Thanks for pointing out that Media Create is missing some GC data since i was actually suprised that the GC never crossed the PS3 line in the 75 week LTD i checked. I was sure that PS3 and GC was closer, but it makes sense if Media Create is missing several of months of data

 

[Pachael]

RIP Sakura Taisen.

The writing's been on the wall since ST4, so no surprise at this.
I doubt that difference alone would have helped anything.

Franchise died with the Dreamcast :<
Great run though

 

[verplant]

So basically Wii outsold the 360 68:1 this week.

62,404 : 1,407

=> 44:1

 

[Verve]

Use Famitsu for everything released before the 360.

Here's the correct GCN vs. PS3 graph.

thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

 

[Defuser]

Monster unleashed

First day sales
PSP Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G - 670,000

MHP2 did 512k first day, so this is PSP biggest seller ever on first day.

652k were normal editions, 17k Hunter's Packs.

Impressive 80% sell through too.

:O :O :O :O :O :O :O

It's the sequel to the best selling game of the year, a game you pretty much see being played everywhere you go.

I was expecting 800-1mill.

No. It's a expansion.

 

[farnham]

It's the semi sequel to the second best selling game of the year, a game you pretty much see being played everywhere you go.

I was expecting 800-1mill.

fixed

 

[Minsc]

Capcom, once again proves they're able to market across all the different systems better than any other developer. Other third parties should just throw in the towel, that or take some notes.

[Dascu]

PSP Umihara Kawase Portable - 1,800 (20k shipment)

Even if the game is really buggy, this is just sad.

Edit: Raiden Fighters Aces sold the same as Castle of Shikigami III, no? Seems like there's a small, but solid shmup fanbase on the 360.

im wondering if Mario Kart Wii will outsell the second week of MHP2G


edit : MKWii is comming out in the third week of MHP2G... lol

 

[Pureauthor]

Hm, aside from MHPG2, pretty poor sales all around.

 

[farnham]

there was nothing big really... i guess no.1 will be MHPG2 No. 2 will be battonage.. No. 3 to 5 Wii fit or Deca Sporta or Brawl and then some random DS games

 

[Rolf NB]

Hm, aside from MHPG2, pretty poor sales all around.

Slumpy time of the year. Looking over the sales numbers in the top ten, it's about the same as a year ago, software-wise. Hardware-wise, PS3 continues to be shitty, PSP came alive, DS slowed down. These changes have been apparent for a while however.

 

[Laguna]

there was nothing big really... i guess no.1 will be MHPG2 No. 2 will be battonage.. No. 3 to 5 Wii fit or Deca Sporta or Brawl and then some random DS games

Next weeks Top5 may look more like this.

1.MH2G
2.PkmB
3.Gundam00
4.WiiFit
5.Brawl

 

[near]

Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G looks sooooo sexy, hopefully Capcom will localize it once it exceeds 900k.

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

Jesus Christ on a cracker MHP is huuuuge.

 

[Orgen]

45./00. [WII] Mario Strikers Charged (Nintendo)

uh? Price drop?

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

uh? Price drop?

Not that I've noticed.

 

[mabuza]

capcom have stumbled on a goldmine. insane

 

[picsou]

monster hunter 3 on psp before wii ?

 

[slaughterking]

Because Capcom just now noticed MHP is a huge seller on PSP?

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

monster hunter 3 on psp before wii ?

That would be foolish. Always bleed the smaller audience first. Standard rule of thumb.

 

[BuzzJive]

Seems all Wii releases didn't make it (4 titles) while all X360 ones did (3).

Well - those awesome Wii games are kinda competing against the WiiWare launch too...

 

[Spiegel]

Is there a how to play MHP faq or something like that?

Because I tried to play two times not knowing what to do and didn't like it. But for everyone it seems like it's an awesome franchise.

 

[donny2112]

PS2/PSP Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch - Lost Colors - 14,000 (70% sell through)

Is that 14K combined or 14K each? The DS game sold 16K its first week last October.

 

[Nocebo]

Your illegal download didn't come with a manual?

 

[Psychotext]

So I guess the PSP is going to be pretty impressive in the next figures. Anyone taking guesses?

 

[neojubei]

capcom have stumbled on a goldmine. insane

Looks that way. i really should buy monster hunter portable 2.

 

[Stumpokapow]

So I guess the PSP is going to be pretty impressive in the next figures. Anyone taking guesses?

80k-90k. I genuinely can't imagine there'll be a large hardware bump TBQH.

 

[donny2112]

So I guess the PSP is going to be pretty impressive in the next figures. Anyone taking guesses?

100-150K

PSP bumped from 35K to 100K when MHP2 was released.

 

[Souldriver]

Your illegal download didn't come with a manual?

Oh snap!

 

[Spiegel]

Your illegal download didn't come with a manual?

Yeah

The legal copy I tried came with a manual but few times read manuals because I rarely need them.

Anyway thanks for the tip

I knew the basic things to do but for me that wasn't fun so it will be that I was doing something wrong

 

[Linkin Parker]

I'm going to Tsutaya tomorrow to get Winning Eleven: PLay Maker and Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword and I was wondering if Dark Sector is worth getting on the way ?? From it's sales it looks good.

 

[yurinka]

monster hunter 3 on psp before wii ?

Yes, I think the Wii game will be a port of the PSP. This would avoid major changes in the game engine (it's not the same to move from PS2/PSP to Wii than to move from PS2/PSP to PS3), so they would save a lot of money.

As I remember, there are some ports in Wii of PSP/PS2 games, and any PSP/PS2 port of Wii games. I think it's the reason of why Capcom shifted MH3 from PS3 to Wii.

To Capcom, doesn't matter if the game in Wii is a port with a few changes. See their sales in games like RE4 Wii edition (even being a port of the previous gen is the #1 in third party sales for Wii).

So they port a game because its common for developer to port psp/ps2 games to wii and the other way around? Great resoning! 5/5

:lol

Ouch..

 

[neojubei]

100k-205k range.

 

[Hesemonni]

.jpeg / .avi or it didn't happen.

 

[cvxfreak]

sp0rsk, Capcom expected 900K, so this is an excellent start. The game's bound to have really long legs, too.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the game had bigger first day sales than Brawl, right?

 

[Rolf NB]

Next weeks Top5 may look more like this.

1.MH2G
2.PkmB
3.Gundam00
4.WiiFit
5.Brawl

Damn you and your filthy acronyms! For a while there I thought I had missed the massively earth-melting announcement of Pikmin Brawl.

 

[Souldriver]

I just noticed there's a second Sim City DS out, and it charted pretty high. Going from the official site, it seems to be a about building cities in different era's/civilizations.

How many copies did the first SC DS sell in its first week?

 

[kottila]

Seems all Wii releases didn't make it (4 titles) while all X360 ones did (3).

:lol

Ouch..

The 360 releases sold a staggering total of 9000, so neither side has anything to be proud of.

 

[schuelma]

I believe so

Really interested to see if any of this enthusiasm translates to MH3 Wii or whether most of the audience will just sit it out until the inevitable PSP version.

 

[yurinka]

First day sales
PSP Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G - 670,000 (80% sell through)

mmm...maybe the 1st day sales record of this gen?

sp0rsk, Capcom expected 900K, so this is an excellent start. The game's bound to have really long legs, too.

The higher I remember was Brawl with 500,000. Capcom expected 900K for the entire game life or only for the first week? Source?

BTW there's a ranking with the best 1st day (not 1st week) sales somewhere? I found some 1st week sales numbers for DS, but not first day.

 

[kswiston]

sp0rsk, Capcom expected 900K, so this is an excellent start. The game's bound to have really long legs, too.

Brawl's first day was reported to be 500k.

Based off the 80% sell through number, I guess Capcom shipped 850k units of MHP2G. It should end up selling close to that in its first week without a second shipment, maybe a little higher with a second shipment. Either way, they are going to be pretty close to their 900k goal in Week 1.

Is this going to be the PSPs second or third million seller?
