How the heck is that BAD for IAWW?
- New IP
- New Artstyle
- Risky new Gameplay
And it did almost 100k (round 77k) it's first week. Don't tell me that's bad, that's a great first start, and if it's a quality title it will spread by word of mouth.
What's very good as well is Taiko sales, but I'm very
for Animal Crossing. It's never been out of the Top 30 before and I don't want it to start.
HANG IN THERE CHAMP!!!

Let me follow your lead AniAniHawk said:There's no earthly way of knowing, which direction we are going. There's no knowing where we're rowing -- or which way the river's flowing. Is it raining? Is it snowing? Is a hurricane a-blowing? Not a speck of light is showing, so the danger must be growing. Are the fires of hell a-glowing? Is the grisly reaper mowing? YES, THE DANGER MUST BE GROWING, FOR THE ROWERS KEEP ON ROWING, AND THEY'RE CERTAINLY NOT SHOWING ANY SIGNS THAT THEY ARE SLOWING!
WOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
MP8 - best the franchise has ever done. Too bad the series is shit.
MNG5 - pretty disappointing, but that's pretty much what you should expect from PS3 these days. The top selling game in Japan for the thing might hit 500k, but it'll have to have insane legs to join its predecessors (excluding the PSP release)
Taiko - Where the **** did this come from
Wonderful World - stick to ports and remakes SE. Nobody wants original games from you
GTALCS - You kinda forget this series is popular in Japan. Then you remember it's even more popular on far more successful systems.
Gundam - failure
ESIV - pretty good, all things considered. It might even beat Blue Dragon!! THAT WOULD BE GREAT!!!
Phantom Hourglass - hang in there, little buddy
Baseball sequel 14 - okay i guess
Wii Sports - it will never die.

GO Wii! Keep beating the PS3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.- on The Mario Party 8 vs Minna no Golf 5 incident
I had some crazy expectations for Minna no Golf based on 2 things: Vinnk reported that Sony was pushing the game and the bundle REALLY hard. It was the first game on the PS3's existence to receive that kind of treatment and that fact that japanese love their minna no golf.
Japanese had to choose between 2 ways of thinking:
1.- " PS3 is expensive but I love MnG so much, I'd buy the console "
2.- " I love MnG, pity it appears on a console I am not going to buy "
Sadly, the numbers show it was the 2nd sentence the one that reflects the way of thinking in Japan. Yes, the game sold "well" and bundles might sell some units but the fact the MnG5 broke the flawless chain of better 1st week sales with each iteration of the franchise speaks for itself. There is no positive spin to the fact that your " GAME #4" sold like 430k in its first week and your " GAME #5" sells 152k on the same time. Regardless of different consoles, and different userbases.
as for Mario party 8?
MP8's number is exactly the number Mng5 should have reached and viceversa.

I think it is bad because the sales will make squareenix look at it and stick with not making new IP's and just go on the FF milkfest. I hope it has legs and surprises us in the end.
Kinda like how Gyakuten Saiban 4 sold 455,000 copies for the first quarter sales, when it dissapeared from the top ten with 320,000.

It's a Wonderful World sold about 80,000 units in its first week, only about 40% of the initial shipment, garnering only modest lines. Many shops still have the limited edition hardware bundle. Prices started to drop on Monday.

OUCH, and price drops NEVER happen in Japan.
They are as stingy as Nintendo.
