well, judging from the DS, and NSMB sales, whether or not Mario sells to the old demographic or not, it could well (and i'm not talking super paper mario here) sell the kinds of figures that wii sports did.bud said:
10 average ps3 owners buy in total 10 third party game between them (so far), where as ten average wii owner only buys about 4 wii games between.
but then the wii is outselling the ps3 at a rate of about 3 to 1, meaning that the market for 3rd party games is bigger on the wii, despite being a smaller percentage of the userbase.
numbers are fun!

Well, this thread sucks. It's just not the same when everybody's faking it.

Sales threads generally get boring once a trend has been established. Only large fluctuations will ever cause these threads to jump up again. That, or a new line of systems.

Makes me wonder where the die hard Sony fans will go. Considering it's selling badly across all regions. As the latest UK sales show.
It's good news for me though. If it sells bad enough hopefully it will get a good price drop. Once that happens I'm buying Motor Storm and new pants.

New Zealand sales are the only thing that really matter.

I'd take that as proof that Nintendo owners don't buy shit, just because it's third party. Those that argue that Nintendo owners buy mainly Nintendo games seem to forget how lackluster most of the third party efforts were for the past two generations on Nintendo consoles.
This is the worst m-create thread in years. 75% of the posts are sarcastic posts like "Nintendo doomed" and "Nintnedo going thirdparty". I'm so ****ing tired of those posts. Yeah, I know you're being sarcastic but they're still irritating as frell!
Anyway, next week should be interesting:
- PW4
- Mario vs. Donkey Kong
- Big Wii shipment

It's great to see the PS2 finally living up to its potential. Hopefully Sony will gear future systems, like the PS3 and possibly a handheld, as low-cost, high-value systems to take advantage of their growing marketshare.

That might be where the PS4 is heading, if of course things continue going as they are.

3rd parties all across the board have decided to work together to try their hand at the famed "DS Training" series. It's called "Manufacturing Training" DS, and it's aimed at all companies who have severe supply issues. Within this innovative game, there are solutions towards manufacturing and distribution for hours of fun and fantastic play. Also rumored to be multi-player, the gamer will have to seek partners out to increase production. Since all third parties are working on this new and innovative title, it is expected to finish in about a month or two.

The PS2's software sales, of course. The PS2 is apparently becoming a major player in this generation's console war because it's a low-priced, high-value console. My above post was (obviously) tongue-in-cheek (see the part about the PS2 "gaining" market share?), but there was a point in there. Japanese consumers aren't willing to buy a hyper-expensive console. Sony's priced themselves out of the console market with the PS3, and I think the bump in PS2 game sales bear that out - even the Sony loyalists who are still hungry for software aren't switching to the more expensive model.

WE DS is nearly 170k and considering WE10 PSP did 120k (and WE9 PSP did 240k), we can say WE DS really did good even if Konami really put small efforts making it...

I have the data already loaded up, I just need to figure out a nice way of presenting it if people want it.
True. I wonder how WEDS did worldwide actually, it must've cleaned up in Europe?Moor-Angol said:
Tempest sold 170k iirc, which isn't bad considering it's probably an upgraded mobile project they handed off to Dimps. Not great considering they shipped like 300k, but that's Scamco for ya. :lol

March tracking ended April 7.Cooter said:
I look forward to Vinnk's sales report to see if he found any Wiis in his town this week. There were two last week. Supply is already catching up with demand is parts of Europe (at least Spain), and we could be looking at the beginnings of that here with Japan. Hopefully this supposed "big" Golden Week shipment that is a constant excuse for semi-lower weekly sales turns out to be correct, and there'll be a huge number sold around that time. We'll then see if that makes any difference on finding the Wii, in general, in Japan.
at Pokemon dropping off like it has in Japan. It'll probably do < 5.5 million combined, which isn't the "return to Pokemon glory" that some were expecting. It's still better than Ruby/Sapphire, though, IIRC.
I really hope Layton makes it to the U.S.

I agree. Infact, why are only the front covers of the boxarts shown? I think the back cover should be displayed too, it's only fair.
We should also start sticking Famitsu reviews next to the games in there, too, so we can analyze Japanese buying habits vs. the quality of the game.
Also, the first post should not only include prices, but should include links to import the games. Afterall we've been given the boxarts, the website links, and soon the price, so we might as well make each Media Create sales thread a weekly Import topic! Yeah! Buy the latest, hottest games from Japan!

It's actually tough to say what'll happen to Pokemon from here on out. D/P was the first time the games were released in late September instead of late November, so I think combined they're holding up quite well. I'm surprised NSMB seems to have gone ahead of them again, but they're still sticking ahead of Mario Kart DS, which sold an extra million or so without being in the top 10 for the majority of the time, IIRC.
I think there's a good chance of D/P selling over 100K again during the next holiday season, too.
