From Famitsu, first week sales :
Mario Party 6 (GCN) : 96,707
Mario Party 7 (GCN) : 81,626
Hot Shots Golf Portable (Minna No Golf Portable) (PSP) : 66,079
From Moor Angol's website of Famitsu sales :
Minna No Golf 3 (PS2) : 272.758

If MP8 can be first (above MNG5), then it confirm that PS3 are dead (in Japan).

I'm glad they used the pacing, music and scenes they used in that last trailer that everyone on GAF loved. Does that mean that SE reads GAF?king zell said:

but I don't think it has much to do with the timing of its release but the concept.
Konami must realise, it is nintendo and ONLY nintendo the company that can sell millions and millions of units of a colorful, family friendly game (megaman aside). I am not sure why is that but that's the way the cookie crumbles.
from 3rd parties, people expect the badass stylish concepts we have been getting since the PS1 ( MGS, SH, Castlevania(?), etc. ). I personally think a Metal Gear spin-off based around the wiimote would be more succesful than Dewy and Eletits but Konami is firmly convinced that those titles with that thematic do not belong in the wii, go figure.
Capcom, on the other hand, is starting to make alot of sense since next-gen arrived, surprisingly. They will test the waters with opposite titles: RE: UC <-> Z&W. Now, watch RE outsell Z&W. Even if RE wasn´t a stablished franchise, I'd bet it would still outsell it. In any case, performance of those titles is crucial to decide what kind of support is the Wii going to receive from capcom. If both sell very well, then happy capcom planning a RE5 remake specifically for wii wouldn't be out of the question, not sure how but its possible.

Don't let CVXFREAK see your comment re RE5. You might get his hope up
Why would　he care, he has all systems not just a Wii. Although he might be happy at the prospect of having one more potential version to buy, he's not like most of the Wii only owners in here begging for a port. He'll probably have both the 360 and PS3 versions at release.

CVX pretty explicitly doesn't want RE5 on the Wii and thinks the people that do are pretty fanboyish, actually -- he thinks they should buy the systems RE5 is being released for, based on what he's said in the past.

Well, just going by worldwide shipments and assuming it didn't take much longer than that to sell with PS2 being pretty hot, looks like ~13 months. March 6, 2000 Japanese launch, and then these are two figures given for March 2001:vanguardian1 said:
2001/03/23 10.04 million units (Japan: 4.65 million/ USA: 2.76 million/ Europe: 2.63 million)
2001/03/31 10.61 million units (Japan: 4.75 million/ USA: 3.01 million/ Europe: 2.85 million)

You know I've come to the conclusion that a lot of people have me on ignore, but for those that don't, here's a small list of the FAMOUS FIVE of the Nintendo DS:
Pokemon DP has been dropping, and if this can continue for a year or two, mario will finally get the #1 crown he rightfully deserves. Brain Age 2 is also a tricky game, getting some awesome boosts randomly.
Surprisingly, Pokemon has the smallest legs of them all, and it seems Mario Kart is the most consistent after Mario Bros. Animal Crossing always = awesome

Thank you. Holy crap, I didn't know that Hot Shots was such a big seller in Japan...Number 4 outsold both Gran Turismo 4 and Metal Gears 2 and 3 and is the 11th best selling PS2 game! :0
The release of Hot Shots on 7/26 will carry great, great significance...much more than I originally thought.

We'll know exactly if the series was a huge seller because it was a system seller or if it was a big seller because of the PS2's overwhelming install base.nextgeneration said:

Thanks for the comparison, LanceStern.
Since I never saw charts and numbers pre-DS, I'm guessing a steady 20k a week is phenomenal.

Oh, Im not doubting its popularity. But is it popular enough to move a $400system on a sustained basis? We'll see in a few weeks.

I think MP8 has few chances to get #1 spot, Minna no Golf 5 will sell at least 200k on first week, and i don't think Mario Party brand is strong enought to reach those sales
July 26 will be hot, many realeses, and i bet Gundam 0079 for Wii will easily reach 100k in few weeks (if not at launch)

Is there waggle in MNG5 at all?
LanceStern said:
Essentially NSMB gets a boost whenever 'gamer' titles are launched and BT2 gets a boost whenever 'casual' titles are launched. Both fluctuate according to hardware attach rates and have natural overlap though.
NSMBs main enemies are the big 1st party gamer titles (and FFIII which caused the biggest % drop if I remember right), BT2 has very little competition.
I did a graph of NSMB sales to illustrate this but that too was largely ignored

I wonder if that will happen to Wii Sports. It already happened on Golden Week, with a disproportionate attach rate for the title even though other titles were also present. The only difference would be that Wii Sports would be a hybrid of both casual and hardcore(it might be simplistic, but there is still a "game" under the non-game label. It's a compilation of sports games after all).

This interview isnt that old and since the game is out in about 3 weeks i doubt they had time to add any Sixaxis functions. I guess it can be added in an update tho.

That kinda sucks. They missed a pretty golden opportunity to sabotage Wii Sports and showcase to everyone that the PS3 has waggle too.
I tried my cousin's PS2 controller and did some golfing swings and it wasn't that bad.

I kind of understand that, but I've played up to 54 holes in Super Swing Golf, and unless the sixaxis is much, much heavier than the Wiimote, I don't forsee it being a problem. Of course, Mingol 5 probably won't be as frustrating as SSG can sometimes be. I mean, seriously, who needs rubberband AI in a golf game?
