:lol Good Job.

 

[titiklabingapat]

The Wii Sports and Wii Play icons are awesome :lol

 

[MasterMFauli]

:lol Good Job.

Why not quoting it 2 times? *sigh*

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Awesome charts

I want one for Tales series :x

 

[Wollan]

Ratchet did really well it seems. Should be interesting to R&CF later this year.

 

[speedpop]

I love the little scale descriptions :lol

 

[titiklabingapat]

Awesome charts

I want one for Tales series :x

Yes please. Do one for FF, DQ and Nintendo training games too.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Yes please. Do one for FF, DQ and Nintendo training games too.

FF games (I was never happy with this one, so I'll just let you click it)

 

[Haunted]

good job with the charts.

 

[TheGreatDave]

I expect Nintendo to have charts similar to those in all future press releases.

 

[Buffy4ever]

Is it Folk Souls at 19 or Ninja Gaiden?

19 is Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas (Ubi Soft)

 

[Buffy4ever]

I'm not sure. What turned things around for the Saturn?

nothing turned things around for the Saturn. it was a boom in the US and EU. Did the Saturn beat the N64 in Japan? I think the only reason the Saturn had so many games in japan is that it was a CD system and the N64 was a cart system.

 

[jepense]

Nice. I spotted one error though: you have English training numbers for Brain training.
Also, the NSMB Mario looks small compared to the others, you could try scaling the figures according to their area instead of height. (But that's just nitpicking.)

 

[MrSardonic]

Pokemon D/P has done pretty well compared to the other Pokemon games considering it's just 2 games rather than 3 games.

You rule on so many levels it's going to be hard to find more kingdoms for you.

 

[castle007]

wow, great Zelda numbers

 

[John Harker]

FF games (I was never happy with this one, so I'll just let you click it)

I didn't realize so many of them were so close.
Good to see once the International Zodiac version of FF12 is released, it should move up 2-3 spaces on that chart. Well deserved.

Do you have a NA version of that charT?

 

[Chris Michael]

FF games (I was never happy with this one, so I'll just let you click it)

Huh, I always thought FFVIII outsold FFVII in Japan.

 

[AdmiralViscen]

Is that a low opening for Ratchet?

Where did Layton wind up topping off?

Shocked at DK Shit (edit: actually doing well).


I can't believe how angry and uncomfortable page 3 is.


edit again: Why did Link's Awakening do so poorly in Japan? Super Mario Land proves that older Game Boy games that were originally NES series can do just as well as their console brethren. Weird.

 

[Pureauthor]

The best part about those graphs are the Y-axis. Good job.

 

[Defuser]

Huh, I always thought FFVIII outsold FFVII in Japan.

You didn't factor the International,Platinum,[insert] version.etc

 

[Hcoregamer00]

07./00. [PS2] Tales of Fandom, Vol. 2: Luke Version (Bandai-Namco) - 34,000 / NEW
08./00. [PS2] Tales of Fandom, Vol. 2: Tia Version (Bandai-Namco) - 30,000 / NEW

I have no more faith in Japan if the Tear version is outsold by the Luke version.

I wanna see if the first two PWs are doing decently.

Phoenix Wright? Speaking of that, I would like to know how both games are selling in the USA.

PM me if possible.

 

[evilromero]

Well, despite the lukewarm response I'm still looking forward to DK Bongo Blast. But judging from the early impressions it sounds as if it worked ten times better with the actual bongos.

"Atrocious DK 64 ???" I found it a great game. Not as good as the three DK Country, but still good. But I agree that since Rareware, the series has gone to waste. Jungle Beat was great, but too short and quite frankly I hated the Bongos.

I thought Jungle Beat saved the series from mediocrity. I don't think there was a game as tight or knee-deep in combo-oriented gameplay on the system. Great boss battles, brilliant level design (and I mean that- just watch someone who can combo all the way through a level without touching the ground) and fantastic visuals bring the whole thing together. I would far prefer a sequel to JB than a standard 3D platformer. We get plenty of those already.

 

[SouthernDragon]

Just started playing through TP (my second LoZ after WW) and I'm at the Water Temple.

Those sales sadden me. : ( Midna and Link look so small.

 

[Rancid Mildew]

It's nice that TP is the third best selling next generation game.

 

[Chris Michael]

Wii Sports/Play are the only next gen games that have exceeded 1 million in Japan? wow...

 

[donny2112]

Wii is the only next gen console that have exceeded 1 million in Japan? wow...

Fixed.

http://images.stumpnet.net/mario/mario_history.png

Why are you still using ioi's numbers for the Mario chart?

Edit:
... and Mario Kart DS and possibly others?

 

[SRG01]

... Wow. Pokemon outsold NSMB? Is this a subtle hint for me to re-enter the Pokemon scene? :lol

 

[WildArms]

... Wow. Pokemon outsold NSMB? Is this a subtle hint for me to re-enter the Pokemon scene? :lol

You mean to say... you don't have Diamond or Pearl? O_O

 

[SRG01]

You mean to say... you don't have Diamond or Pearl? O_O

I don't even have an NDS! :lol

 

[Pureauthor]

I don't even have an NDS! :lol

I'd have typed up a response sooner, but I was playing Ouendan 2 on my DS.

Buy a DS, man.

 

[Pureauthor]

I don't even have an NDS! :lol

And BTW, once you get a DS, buy Ouendan. And EBA. And Ouendan 2.

 

[donny2112]

I'd have typed up a response sooner, but I was playing Ouendan 2 on my DS.

Buy a DS, man.

So nice, you had to say it twice. Obligatory, "Ouendan 2 rocks!"

 

[CoolTrick]

Those Pokemon numbers have to be off. The Pokemon series never saw any big dropoffs, but they definitely didn't all sell within 200,000 to 300,000 units of each other.

 

[jetjevons]

Japanese market rejection of next gen continues.

 

[cvxfreak]

Diamond/Pearl and Ruby/Sapphire are actually less than 250K away from each other IIRC.

 

[Pureauthor]

Japanese market rejection of next gen continues.

Leaving aside the ridiculous notion that Wii isn't next-gen:

You've got it the wrong way round. Next-gen has rejected Japan.

 

[jetjevons]

the ridiculous notion that Wii isn't next-gen:
.

Not so ridiculous IMO.

 

[farnham]

Japanese market rejection of next gen continues.

Yeah but the numbers look similar in NA and in Europe.. just saying

 

[Pureauthor]

Not so ridiculous IMO.

Yeah, the problem here is your opinion counts for nothing.

 

[jetjevons]

Yeah, the problem here is your opinion counts for nothing.

And yours does?

 

[YourMaster]

It pains me to see where mysterious dungeon would have been if it was on the Zelda chart!

 

[Xeke]

Not so ridiculous IMO.

Generations are time periods. They have nothing to do with power

 

[Draft]

And yours does?

Of course. He's on the winning team.

 

[kisakiproject]

Whats coming next week? How come we don't have one of those.

Also go Phantom Hourglass go!

 

[jetjevons]

Generations are time periods. They have nothing to do with power

That's not what I meant by next-gen. Yes, that's the literal interpretation but I assume the term 'next-gen' as is generally used in the gaming media to mean the next round of power comparable/price-relative/market-competitive consoles.

I'm not trying to be derogatory to the Wii. I love my Wii.

 

[SouthernDragon]

What is next-gen?

The next generation of machines.

What was the previous generation of machines?

PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube.

What's the current generation of machines?

The Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3.

So, it follows that if Xbox -> 360, PS2 -> PS3, GC -> Wii, and 360 and PS3 are next-gen:

Then the Wii is next-gen.

 

[Cheesemeister]

Pokemon Mysterious Dungeon outsold Ocarina of Time.

Perhaps a combined franchise chart would put things in perspective.

 

[ghstwrld]

Do the bongos work with the DK game?
