That's actually a good explanation. It's not that out of the realm of possibility that little changed from last week.

I'm taking both with a good pinch of salt until creamsugar can confirm/correct.

Those hw and MP8 numbers seem more reasonable, though PS3 seems high. With MnG5 dropping in sales it would be unusual for PS3 to have an increase over last week unless it's catching up with an inaccuracy in a previous week.

It is a spinoff, actually -- it's not like FFX-2 where the core gameplay mechanics were left intact.

The only core mechanic left the same in X-2 was walking around. Menu, battle system, and gaining of abilities were replaced.

Er, there were differences, sure, but the core gameplay was intact. They were both traditional menu-based RPGs. I didn't think switching from turn-based back to standard FF-ATB was that big a deal within the context of the two games.

The whole thing with putting a "2" in the name also helped at pretty clearly establishing it as a sequel (not that that's strictly required).

Assuming this new set of numbers is correct, could ~63k be the level Wii stabilizes at? Very strong stabilization point if so. Hopefully it also allows Nintendo and retailers to stock up a decent amount for the holidays.

As for software, highly impressive Mario Party sales. Going for a million?

Sinobi confirmed the software numbers but no hardware leaks yet.

Or maybe it's just my cache.

I hope so. doing over a million would make it the best-selling one in the series.


Too many different HW numbers floating around, waiting for someone reliable to post them. :)

Thanks. creamsugar's hw numbers seem too high for the sw sales.

I expected Wii and PS3 sales to be lower. Wii because sales were lower than expected when MP8 was launched and there looked like there was a decline/lower re-stabilising going on, and PS3 because there is still very little sw and what there is, isn't selling too well.

Sony seems to be in a PSP level problem with sw sales on PS3.

At the Sony awards for sw sales (1 million = Platinum, 500K = Gold) just after PSP they added a new 300K category for the system, maybe they'll add a new one for PS3 sw sales of 250K ;)

But didn't the PS3 sell 22k in last week's Famitsu figures? So if the second set of numbers we have is the correct one, then the PS3 actually went up 2k. That's not very logical considered Minna no Golf's decreased number, compared to last week.

trends suck, dont they? follow the trends of past 2 months with Wii and PS3 sales... from 90k to.... and from 8k to....

That being said, Wii should pick up in Sept, so there shouldnt be more than 2 weeks more of 6xk sales, unless ...

All menu-based battle systems are equivalent? Pffffft. X-2 kept the core gameplay of X as much as X kept the core gameplay of IX.

Actually, Media Create sales for the week of June 4th-10th (2 months ago) put's Wii at 64k. The sales spiked with the release of Dragon Quest Swords.

Yep, core gameplay remained intact.

I honestly didn't think what I was suggesting was so novel -- that it's pretty easy to classify traditional RPGs as superficially similar to one another gameplay-wise. They all share some basic gameplay features which is kinda sorta why they're classified together within that subgenre. I don't think Wind Waker is 100% identical to Ocarina of Time but we can pretty clearly see how it falls within the main series based on gameplay where Four Swords Adventures does not.

FFX-2 maintained the same gameplay subgenre (traditional RPG to traditional RPG) of its predecessor where Crisis Core went from traditional RPG to action RPG and Revenant Wings went from... whatever XII was to real time strategy-styled RPG.

You dont't really know what "trend" means, do you? Wii was never at 90k except during spikes, in May/June it hovered around 60-65k. Likewise, PS3's increase is part of a spike and cannot be called a trend.

I think we're being different levels of strict. I'd consider "core gameplay" to go deeper than what subgenre a game is in. The Sphere Grid and FFT-like battle timing were what I consider FFX's key features that differentiate it from other FF games or RPGs in general. By going with a quicker ATB battle system and a version of the job system used on a fixed party, FFX-2's gameplay was closer to Final Fantasy V than Final Fantasy X.

I see what your original point was, though:
FFX-2 maintained the same gameplay subgenre (traditional RPG to traditional RPG) of its predecessor where Crisis Core went from traditional RPG to action RPG and Revenant Wings went from... whatever XII was to real time strategy-styled RPG.

Wastes hours checking old Famitsu software data, but that's why we love him.
So are those the real hardware numbers? I'd be shocked if those PS3 numbers were correct, but if so, good news for Sony (relatively speaking).

And wow at MP8..looks like a million seller to me.
