Can't believe they're back in the game now, especially since PKMN dropped off the top 30 completely! And WTF?! @ Mario vs DK2 and YIDS, how can they keep on going?
Can't wait for the numbers!

well, i think Super Paper Mario is a 'real game' and that is selling well. japan didn't bite off on zelda for whatever reason, but they are biting off on super paper mario which is a 'real game'.Mithos Yggdrasill said:

I was talking only about Japan. Definitely there is a huge difference between Japan and Americas. Even with Twilight Princess, this difference came out clearly. Poor sales in Japan, but very good in USA. Probably this is related to the different audiences.

Zelda has seen diminishing returns for years. The series itself has been more of an American property, and is doing blisteringly well here.

Yeah, but the N64 (and even the Gamecube) was in a better position in America. In Japan the N64 didn't sold SO better then the Gamecube (5+ millions vs. 4 millions). And this is the first time since the SNES that Nintendo has fully recovered the japanese market. And this is the first time that the japanese market is so much important for Nintendo (in terms of % market share in the world).
So, what I mean is that the situation is much more favorable for Mario Galaxy in Japan. But I understand your point: in USA, Mario has sold a lot even on the N64 and on Gamecube. Probably because here the Mario franchine is (was ?) a lot stronger. Well, proportionally to the hardware's sales, Super Mario 64 has sold pretty good in Japan too... In USA the sales were bigger, becaue the hardware sold was also a lot more...
Well, it is a combination of factors at the end. But I remain optimistic on Mario Galaxy's sales in Japan.

BBA looks to be a similar phenomenon like Brain Training and Brain Age before it....

I still don't think BBA is going to do that great on the Wii.
I could be wrong, though.

So, Layton 500k, surely, surely it should be translated for that, awesome sales, well done Level 5, SPM going on nicely, not likely I know, but I so hope that reaches non-game status in Japan, might silence a few critics, and BBA rolling along, cruical month ahead though, will it manage DS style stubborn top 10-20 clinging, or will it drop like a stone, place your bets.
Mithos Yggdrasill said:
Ah, I see your point now. I didn't really know how well N64 and GC sold in Japan, I just assumed they were similar to America. It just looked to me that Japan didn't like the 3d Mario... This fall will definitely be an interesting time for both NPD and Media Create threads!

What an unfortunate week for the wii to be supply constrained.. 80k in golden week while it did 100k+ the week prior? They could of easily done another 100k+.
Wasted opportunity considering software took a huge boost.

I have the same impression. We have to think that Brain Training has had a low start because it still hadn't the repuation now has. Brain Training 2 surfed on this reputation and sold a lot more quickly. BBA Wii should have surfed in a similar way to Brain Training 2 (perhaps something less then Brain Training 2 because it is not on the DS).
So, I don't think that BBA will sell more then a half-million. This week is up overall because ALL is up due to the Golden Week. But who knows ? Perhaps it'll have great legs...
Eteric Rice said:
I think you may be wrong, as BBA is more about competition than Brain Age, and competition is such an important part of the Wii. I mean I don't have any trouble getting my wife to play bowling with me, and we don't have to whip out our 2 DS's to play. We just turn on the Wii for a battle of the minds... I can't wait till this comes out (hopefully at a budget price, although looking at the pricing of Cooking Mama...) and have my parents or mother and father-in-law go at it...
It's going to be glorious!:lol

Does anybody have an entire cumulative list of first party ds and wii sales? ranked? I know someone does
Mithos Yggdrasill said:
But would the "real" games be selling more if Wii Sports or the DS non-games never existed?
Going by the trolls' logic, the non-games and Wii Sports don't appeal to "true" gamers, thus they shouldn't eat the mat00r games sales. If that's so, the "real" games would be selling as much as they are today.

Wii comparisons: At 22 weeks, Wii is where GameCube was at 96.3 weeks (July 15, 2003), where DS was at 22.5 weeks (May 4, 2005), where PS2 was at 20.2 weeks (July 17, 2000), and where PSP was at 52.5 weeks (December 7, 2005).
PS3 comparisons: At 25 weeks, PS3 is where PS2 was at 3.0 weeks (March 19, 2000), where PSP was at 10.4 weeks (February 16, 2005), where GCN was at 15.5 weeks (December 26, 2001), and where Wii was at 4.4 weeks (December 26, 2006).
PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares are 11.1 / 88.9. Like last week and the week before it's another near-record for Wii's share, but still slightly below launch week. Total shares are now 27.5 / 72.5. If Wii stops selling and PS3 continues at this rate, it catches up in 110.1 weeks (June 8, 2009). If "the flip" occurred, it would take PS3 15.7 weeks to catch up (August 16, 2007).
PS2 vs DS: At this week's rates, PS2 and DS meet up in 15.8 weeks (August 17, 2007) at 20.66 million apiece.
DS+DSL passes 2.5 million 3 weeks sooner than last year.
SM64 and SMS sales were lower in Japan, yeah, but I don't think the ratio of sales to hardware was much different. SM64DS I really haven't been following in the US, but in Japan it's beyond 1 million.
PS3 comparisons: At 25 weeks, PS3 is where PS2 was at 3.0 weeks (March 19, 2000), where PSP was at 10.4 weeks (February 16, 2005), where GCN was at 15.5 weeks (December 26, 2001), and where Wii was at 4.4 weeks (December 26, 2006).

Sure, but financially it would be easier for Wii to reach $100 than for PS3 to reach $300.birdchili said:

I just think Big Brain Academy was more of a handheld game. It'll do fine, but I just don't think it's going to sell a million. Maybe half a million?
I think Wii Health, and Wii Music will be the ones that sell.
I do wish Nintendo would release a compilation of traditional board games (Chess, Checkers, etc) with online for the Wii. I bet that would do pretty well.

It completely boggles the mind what the hell is going on with Japan. In every single way, from every point of view, it's a utter and total victory for Nintendo.
- DS is still on fire. Its still supply constrained!?!!
- Wii really showing strength. It's about clear now it's following the steps of it's handheld sister.
- Mario = back.
- BBA showing legs, also similar to it's DS counterparts
- Mii games are the new hotness.
- The whole top 10 consists out of Titles for Nintendo platforms (and I suspect the rest of the top 50 is also Nintendominated)
- The million sellers just keep on going and going and going and going, the won't fukcing die!
- And -not so good for gamers, all the better for Nintendo- there is no competition anymore. Sony am dead, Xbox never lived.
HOLY SNAPPLECAKES!
I know I'm stating the obvious, but at this point it's just completely absurd. It's not funny anymore. Thank god Sony and MS got Europe and the US to rely on, or I'd be seriously worried.

Even though Nintendo doesn't own the US and Europe, they still have a nice share of them.
I'm not worried about the competition for the Wii/ DS, but for the third parties. I want to see them start pushing their best on the systems, now.

glad to heard people isn't stupid anymore
Now, this weeks numbers will be a confirmation of we thought would happen. Wii is going to follow the DS path. Wii Sports, Wii PLay, Big Brain Wii, and Super Paper Mario are going to handle the system greatly until Super Mario Galaxy. And just wait for more games.
I see RE4 Wii Edition getting over the 500K soon. It's going to be the first hardcore game really hitting the casual market due to the pointer function of the game, and also due to Capcom's perfect campaign.
I can't wait to see Xmas 2K7 sales. Wii is going to be great, and DS with DQIX will skyrocket the japanese industry.

This is true and false at the same time. True because games like Brain Training and Wii Sports are really selling overall to who's never played games before. So, it is a different audience and we know this simply from the sales.
But we know also that Wii and DS are affecting somehow the PS3 and the PSP. This cannot be denied (we can discuss on the dimension of this contrast). There is a set of intersection between the consoles and the proof is that in many cases people made a choice between the two systems: these people are in that set. For example, a lot of Gaffers are included in that section.
The interesting thing is that the majority of the hardcore are potentially DS or Wii buyers and so they are comprised in the intersection. But who that has never played hardly will go in the intersection because it should buy a hardcore machine.
In other words, the system is hardly bijective.

The real question now is how much does SE charge Sony for FFXIII exclusivity. The stakes are pretty high for SE, because releasing FFXIII on a floundering PS3 could see the franchise lose relevance because of poor sales.
The moneyhats must be huge.

Hot damn! Everything got a huge boost. NSMB almost doubling its sales after being out for a year. SPM and BBA both have great legs and should finish with strong sales. Good to hear that Layton passed the inevitable 500k, and GS should do the same in a few weeks.
I know this may sound crazy, but nothing is out of the question when it comes to software sales anymore. Can NSMB pass the original Super Mario in sales? Isnt it only like 2 million away?

Super Mario Bros. sold 6.81 millions (not sure, something similar) in Japan. At this point...I think it is unlikely, but not impossible.
super funk said:
44 weeks away, given that it sells at least 46000 copies every week and that it's 2000'000 units behind SMB.
I'm betting it'll have topped SMB by the time DS2 is announced, but not by a very wide margin. This game seems to get a boost whenever there's a major software sale going on.
