So, not quite. Off by about 45,000. Unless enishi added one too many zeros.

I didn't know it sold 50k, honestly it's strange cause you can find at low price in Akihabara (i spent 7 euros for a brand new copy in a small shop under the Yamanote Line rail, and usually at that price, around 1000yen, you find games that bombed) and it never appeared in any chart, first half 2006 included.
Anyway, Enishi could be right, i'm talking based only on Famitsu data we have.

Green shouldn't be labelled "Holdback for Paper Mario", it should be "Holdback for Golden Week". But yeah, the number differential is understandable, Nintendo is having trouble meeting demand, but demand does slow down after the year-end holiday period and Nintendo is shipping what they anticipate to sell in the after-holiday period and any extra consoles they produce beyond those numbers get thrown into a bin to be brought out for the second-biggest consumer holiday in Japan.elostyle said:Assuming Wii sellout reports are still true, I'm guessing the following.
Red: Sellthrough of inventory built up before launch.
Blue: Normal shipment rate.
Green: Hold back for paper mario etc?
Thanks Josh

I'm posting this in the MC thread since it was really out of place in a goofy console analogy thread.
If I were Nintendo, the thing I'd be most worried about is that it's only tripled PS3's sales 9 out of its 15 weeks on the market.Ynos Yrros said:
it'll be interesting to see if those missing Wii appear this weekend in the UK to combat the PS3 launch, or whether they save them for a week or so after to reclaim the charts. It'd be funny to outsell the PS3 on its first week - but I don't think they have a AAA Wii title lined up

It has been said before, golden week seems to be what the hold back for inventory in Japan.
It is one of the top shopping days of the year in that country. Not to mention everyone is on vacation so they could easily spend time waiting in line for a Wii
or a ds

Oh, and Nintendo owns Japan for free, what else is new?
On a somewhat related note: According to gamefront Level 5 announced it has shipped 500,000 units of Layton Kyouju no Fushigi na Machi.
Great number but I find this kind of strange as they have sold only 266,017 units up to 11. March and we thought it was heavly supply constraint.
Maybe some japanese Gaffer can confirm this announcement?

Yoshi's Island has strong sexy legs. In fact, most of the top ten shows DS-style longevity, including MHP2 for the PSP which almost certainly burst the 1-million barrier. Only two new games. Wii Sports ranks rather high which spells good news for Wii hardware sales this week. On the other hand, no sign of Sonic in the top ten. Eventually something beyond Wii Sports+Play will have to start selling well... Right?
EDIT: Actually, looking at last week's numbers again, MHP2 may still be a few tens of thousands short of going platinum.

Twilight Princess - 400,000+
WarioWare: Smooth Moves - 300,000+
Pokemon Battle Revolution - 200,000+
...not on the scale of Wii Sports/Play, but all three of those titles saw respectable sales considering userbase, their position as launch/near launch titles etc.
Third-party sales have been less impressive, though a number of them ran into the Sports/Play/Zelda/Wario/Pokemon combo and suffered accordingly.

I'm not expecting 3rd party titles for the Wii to crack the media create top 10 and stay there for at least another few months.
It's only been happening with some consistency recently on the DS, and that was after 3rd parties all but wrote off the handheld, saw the monumental sales and shifted development back to the platform. Everything for the Wii is typically an old franchise with traditionally moderate sales (i.e: Sonic), instead of titles tailor made with the systems ease of use in mind, or huge can't miss franchises.
I fully expect the first third party title with consistent legs in Japan to be Dragon Quest Swords.

Yoshi has great legs. It is sure that it will reach the million. Wii has had a bigger shipment this week. The PSP has finally his first (and last ?) million-seller !

Mojipittan did very good on the weekend (first day sales were so-so). Go Namco
Gundam Musou and SRTW drop as expected, DQM Joker disappears but god knows why when we're talking about SE...nice to see that Level-5 has been able to produce a good amount of Layton copies. Then again, I may repeat myself but Level-5 has to do a budget version of Layton 1 two weeks before Layton 2 is released (at about 2800Y).

I don't think so. Sudoku may be popular, but who would want to play Sudoku on a big screen?Kenka said:
BT Sudoku is great bc you can play it on the go.
Sonic only selling 10.000 is quite a bummer for me, even factoring in that Sonic isn't all that popular in Japan etc. As an old Sega fanboy I can't really help it.

Monster Hunter Portable 3 will become million-seller when (and if, don't forget we're talking about Capcom) will be announced. What about FF, don't expect a million. After all, it is not a regular, new, Final Fantasy.

Well, it's true. Sales of Crystal Chronicles and Dirge of Cerberus could be added to each other, and they'd still be less than a million. Hell, FF III is a regular FF on a hot system, and it took half a year to reach 1 million.davepoobond said:

Really?
I have been avoiding the PSP for a while and I got to admit that Crisis Core may be the game that will get me to buy it. While it isn't a "main" final fantasy, it looks to be a great Japanese RPG.
We love anything final fantasy, just look at that crap on a stick Dirge of Cerebus and the PS2 sales of it in Japan and the USA.

Ok, ok. It is the fourth title of the Compilation of FFVII. What I mean, is that, simply, is not a regular Final Fantasy iteration (i.e. Final Fantasy XIII). Then, remember that it is oriented action-RPG. Will it sell well ? Sure. Will it so as well as a original (traditional, regular...., well, you have understood !) Final Fantasy ? No, of course !

Yoshi ANOTHER potential million seller?
Jeez, Nintendo, this isn't even fair any more. You develop platinum/diamond sellers like it's going out of style! Are you even trying?
