Golden Week is gonna be huge. Nintendo has Super Paper Mario, Big Brain Academy Wii, Final Fantasy XII: Revenants Wings, Panel de Pon DS, International Daredemo Asobi Taizen. I'm worried about how SPM and PdP will do, but they're all potential big-sellers. What does Sony have, if anything at all?

In what way exactly are pokemon sales worrying? Haven't they sold over 5m?

Seriously, I'm just going to add the update times to the OP from now on.
You should add a link to one of them internet countdowns. That will spare you of all the timezone conversions as well
So, great first week for Capcop and Phoenix Wright, Nice little start for MvDK2, First time in ages that I have seen both Wii Sports and Wii Play in top 5, 80k for the week before Golden week, also, great legs on Yoshi, and please please please localise Prof.Layton, it has surely earned it by now, Nintendo, make it so.
N.B I thought it would be next month before we see it, but <10k week for PS3? if so, Sony can forget about Japan, they have screwed up big time there, and the next couple of months will be carnage for them.

Holy shit. If true, I can see it going sub-10k very soon and staying there. Drop-off for the PSP back down to pre-Monster Hunter levels as well, IIRC.

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
NPD and Japan today. This is one hell of a day.

And it is only going to get better when there is more supply. The sky is the limit :lol .
I truly am starting to feel a little sorry for Sony now. I'm sure things will pick up for them in the second half of the year.
Otherwise many heads will roll (or many Seppuku). They will have to hide all the swords.

They all seem about right. Looks all over for PS3 in Japan.

It's a 5 week month so the PS3 should do better than last month regardless of what Motorstorm can do for the system.
Holy crap at those Japanese numbers if true though. That talk about the 360 outselling the PS3 in Japan, might just be more plausible than people thought. Could you imagine the meltdown on GAF? :lol

Um... yeah, even without the unconfirmed numbers out...
PS3's dead in Japan.

been saying this a lot... march is traditionally a slower month in america for hardware sales in the us than february, even considering that it's a five week month. so if the ps3 does the same as last month, that is actually suggesting a bit of an improvement compared to previous trends.jimbo said:
i remember when i thought the ps3 would mix things up a bit in the japanese charts.

130k/4 = 32,500 per week
130k/5= 26,000 per week
I don't know about an improvement, but yeah, it just wouldn's show a further decline other than that affected by typical slow March sales. Perfectly possible since there has to be a point where the PS3 stabilizes.
right?
Anyway, we should get back on topic, this is about Japan and this belongs in the NPD thread.

How many people live in Japan again? It stops selling 20 million(to account for old blind people and kids under 7) short of that. By then, DS2 will be selling even faster. :lol
Damn I was going to go to sleep and just wait and see the threads later but under 12,000 is just too crazy.

schuelma said:Just FYI- the attach rate of Wii Sports is usually about 55% give or take a bit.
I think it's time to bust out the chart again:
Wii Sports has been selling aroundabout the 65.5% mark in relation to Wii hardware since the start of the year (prior to that, Wii Sports itself was supply-constrained). The weekly attach rate varies depending on supply of Wii hardware, increasing slightly in weeks with lower hardware sales. This can be best described as the result of existing Wii owners accounting for a larger proportion of Wii Sports buyers. This number itself declines slightly from week to week.
Based on current trends and Wii Sports software sales, we should see Wii hardware sales of 68,085 this week. Similar post-gundabump trends for PS3 put its sales at 13,759 for the week.
On a side note, if I'm not mistaken Wii Sports has just outsold Smash Bros. Melee's LTD (SSBM being the highest selling Gamecube game). Quite an impressive feat, given that Wii's been out for a mere 20 weeks, compared to 4+ years for GC before support was pulled.

I'll raise to that, games can look beautiful in 480p and I like my systems to be affordable, too.
