1- no, it's not normal, especially 2 days after the official release...
2- it's still priced normal (and i mean on japanese shops, anyway, today i'll take a look at both FF12i and IaWW prices)
honestly i don't consider IaWW a disappointment in sales, it was shipped on friday, so 1 day less than other games.
I wonder why people says "WOW" @ Taiko DS sales and says "bomba!" @ IaWW sales when they are similar and Taiko was 4 days on the shelves...
If IaWW really had low sales, it shouldn't be discounted after few days as FF12i ? Think about it, please

I don't think there's any way to not make Moku's avatar seem like a horribly compressed mess while still being able to read the words.

Yeah, here's the big TSR logo
I want both circles sized the same, then I want the T, S-Dragon and R lassoed out and overlaid on the Wii gif so I can use that for an avatar.

On the one hand I feel a bit silly correcting the original creator, buuut I can do better than that in use of space, ratio, and size.moku said:

Uh guys, good for a joke and all, but remember those SDF/XDF/etc avatar meme that kinda got banned? Yeah.

The DS logo should say "It prints money" instead.

Mmm, I don't know if this is a simple one but...Vinnk said:
Could you check PSP prices to see if retailers have slashed its price since Sony put it 'open price'? I've been wondering why PSP continues to be over 30k weekly when it has been lower most of the year and there is a revision coming in a month.
Btw Moor-Angol, Taiko DS did far better than IaWW.
Taiko DS
IaWW
Sadly for Taiko, Namco screwed up again and the game had to be recalled and I'm sure they haven't restocked it yet. Another missed opportunity from Bandai Namco.
Btw, SEGA announced San Goku Shi 2 DS...I wonder what are they waiting for to announce Love and Berry 2...or Namco to announce Tamagotchi 3? Easy sales they are going to lose if they don't make it before Christmas.

Man, I was on vgcharz and....uh...I got a trojan. Good think McAfee took care of it for me. That'll teach me to never go back to vgcharz ( even out of curiosity )

Yes, i confirm there was a big price drop to FF12i, in Akihabara i saw many shops selling it at 5.800yen, while big shops as Yodobashi still have at 6.100yen (10% off from original price)
cvxfreak, if you want to "taste" the japanese market just go to Yodobashi Akiba... today there was around 20 minutes queue to cashers

FF12i is 5800yen with taxes, the same price i saw in some shops. I didn't go to current-gen floor in Super Potato, just stayed on retrogame floor. It's incredible how many games can be stored in such a small place

Anyone want to start putting down bets on when the Wii passes the PSP? I'm thinking that it'll probably happen around April or May of next year.

LOL. You forgot the PSP.
The PSP one should say "It's ridge racer! RIIIDGE RAAAACER!

Napkin math:
Wii beats PSP by 35k per week and is 2 million back. 2 million divided by 35k = 57 weeks. So it would pass around August/September of next year assuming the Wii sits at 65k a week and the PSP at 30k.

Yes, but a much more thorough model would have to factor in christmas bumps which assume proportionality to the weekly sales ratio. In other words every november could be counted as two weeks and every december week as 4.
A better estimate (but still very rudimentary) would be that wii passes PSP in 41 weeks.
Edit; Also, when Nintendo finally gets another factory working on wii production, sales will also go up. This might be included into the model to make the number more like 25-30 weeks.

FFXII Int is back at 15% discount in amazon (15% is the normal discount on every game).
I guess either SE is making some calls or demand is there just waiting for quick price collapse.
