Shovelware sells better on the PSP?
Tabris said:
If it's the same exact game, why would anyone buy it on a system that is technically weaker but which compensates for the lowered technical specifications by providing unique features that are not being taken advantage of due to the two games being... yes, you guessed it, the same exact game?
Just sayin'.
Maybe you can't really prove the viability of third party sales on a platform by highlighting identical sub-20k sales for identical games, one of which was not designed for the system it's being released on! Maybe? You think, Tab?

Somehow I get the feeling the DS one would make more of a profit...
But frankly, the fact that a Fist of the North Star game sold better by 101 units on the PSP isn't exactly much to boast about.
nsmb sales are just amazing!
interestingly, there's a bit about it in the always entertaining 4cr podcast (15mins 45 secs in):
http://www.4colorrebellion.com/archives/2006/08/14/4cr-podcast-0814/
vinnk talks about how japan is in the middle of a full mario and nintendo revival helped by nsmb. he says several years ago you could buy old famicom smb carts for under a dollar but not now they've risen to over $20 and stores can't keep them in stock.
nostalgia is huge and could really help wii with the virtual console alone. a smb vc pack could be a big selling point.

Tabris said:The PSP. And there, is where it can be considered competition. It'll get there eventually
Hah.
In all seriousness, though, I just wish it was something other than Gundam that was selling this well. I wish we could've seen sales like this for Monster Kingdom, or Brave Story -- or, even though a lot of critics have panned it, Loco Roco, as a reward for style and innovation.
Hopefully this little boomlet the PSP has going right now will last long enough to carry Jeanne d'Arc towards some nice sales... though, unfortunately, I doubt that's going to happen.
If it took this long to have a second week with software sales over 500K and even longer to finally get a title at #1 on the charts since launch, I don't see how PSP will ever get to the point where it is considered competition to the DS in Japan, unless the DS slows down tremendously from here on in (and with FFIII launching next week I don't see that happening either). The PSP might not be a failure, but it still is far from a level to compete with the DS over there and is at a point where it cannot catch up.Tabris said:The PSP.

Sorry for the double post.
jesusraz said:That is just ridiculous...BUT, just think how well FFIII is going to do if it is currently above them all!
If Square Enix can get more stock out, anyone reckon we could be seeing a 600,000-700,000 first week? With Rune Factory scraping in at ~50,000 units?
I think that'd be beyond amazing for both, but I don't see it as feasible for either one of them. Unfortunately, I'm more expecting 50k LTD for Rune Factory -- forget that for first week. And I can't see FFIII launching anywhere near that high, even though I expect it to be quite a successful seller overall.

DS at 170,000 and a huge upsurge in software. This in a week of no new releases for the system.
And Pokemon isn't out yet
In the interest of keeping Kia and Link to the Past and ethelred's tempers at bay, I will NOT mention how it makes little sense that the DS version of FOTNS did not outsell the PSP version, with no excuse as to why it did not sell more other than the 3rd party argument.
Nope I definitely won't mention that.
ANyways, those New Super Mario Bros. sales are AMAZING. There's nothing left to say about it. And btw, has there ever been a system that has sold over 130,000 for so many consecutive weeks? Shouldn't the DSLite hardware have slwoed down BY NOW? It truly is a phenomenon fueled by Brain Power, Animals (both talking ones and dogs), and none other than the phenomenon himself: Mario.

it's incredible that DS hardware and software sales are so good throughout the summer months. The results from 2006 are going to be the best year a console has ever seen in Japan - shortages in December are almost inevitable but I wouldn't be surprised if nearly 1m units are sold in a December week.
pretty interesting

It couild be done. But there'll be shortages. They're producing 2.2 million Lites month or something like that. Sounds like a lot, but they're selling about 130.000-140.000 a week in Europe, 120.000 a week in America, and a 170.000 or something in Japan. That's over 420.000 Lite's sold every single week, which means they have almost none left every month. They'll have to drastically increase production if they want so sell more than they're doing right now. :lolMrSardonic said:
