Media Create Sales: 8/13 - 8/19

It's in the grey figures at the top... graph should probably drop Mario RPG though imo as (1) it's a divergent, outsourced spinoff in a different genre and (2) none of the later Mario RPGs seem to be included. It's like randomly having Mario Kart 64 or Mario Party 4 in there or something.Jirotrom said:
There's a few other games that could be added though (provided figures are available) ... Super Mario USA (FC), Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land (GB), Wario Land (VB), Super Mario: Yoshi Island (SFC), Yoshi Story (N64), Wario Land 2 (GB/C), Wario Land 3 (GBC), Wario Land 4 (GBA), Luigi's Mansion (GC), Wario World (GC), Famicom Mini SMB2 (GBA), Yoshi Topsy-Turvy (GBA), Yoshi Touch 'n Go (DS) and Super Paper Mario (Wii).

So are we to only count niche titles or sudoku games for the Wii? Maybe I misunderstood you, but it sounds like you're saying it's absurd to compare 3rd party titles that sell well on the Wii versus third party titles that sell well on the PS3.
I've always liked mj1108. 
For those talking about "crazy Japan" having increases for Mario Party 8, Zelda, Minna no Golf 5, etc., it was a holiday last week. It was the same holiday that made us have two Media-Create threads this week. All of those games should either 1) return to normal or 2) continue on their previous trend in next week's sales figures.
Some of those numbers are from you-know-where. It might be a good idea to ask Moor-Angol or some of the other historical Japan sales trackers (e.g. ethelred, cvxfreak) to "correct" the numbers.
Super Mario 64 DS only crossed 1 million this year according to Famitsu.
Edit:
Super Mario Sunshine sold 690,596 through March 31, 2003. Some older Top 500 books could be a big help in this regard.

I :lol at FFXII International
Was FFXII really that unpopular that its International version bombed harder than any other International version?

My source for all the graphs I do is:
1) Dalthien's next gen thread or Dalthien's portable thread; Dalthien prefers Famitsu but uses MC for more recent info.
2) Any data not listed in those threads, I got from Moor Angol's old site; I am unsure if he has changed any of the legacy numbers on his new site, but if he has I'll update my graphs to that stuff eventually.
3) An extreme minority of data I have comes from a thread that Square2005 posted about an updated list of million sellers in Japan.
4) I have mixed-tracker data that I've picked up from reputable posters like donny and ethelred when they've posted info in the threads. I can't speak for all of their sources, but I know at least some of their data comes from Moor Angol.
I've never knowingly taken numbers from there. I believe some of the Mario numbers I copied verbatim from the old Mario sales graph; if those were ioisoft numbers I'll be sure to fix them with my next update.

FF12 sold almost the exact sale number as FF10, 5 years later and after next gen systems were already out. I'd say that's pretty impressive.

ethelred said:
Yea, I was just commenting to the first point of what I quoted: the game itself didnt bomb at all. FF10 by far will outself FF12, but at launch FF12 didn't underperform. The Intl and UH releases of FF10 obviously makes that watermark unreachable by 12 since it seems the Intl version of FF12 bombed, but one can argue that by now the audiance as simply moved on - and even beat and completed the sequal - so it may not be completely a testament to how the game was initially received, just that the audiance has lost interest in the title and/or only play nongames now.

Brand names like the Ford Mustang, Chevy Corvette, Apple, and IBM have seen great times and terrible times, but still live on. Some, like IBM, have left an industry they helped to create and gone into something totally different. They are highly respected in the financial consulting industry right now.
My point is that if Sony totally looses this gen they won't need to drop the Playstation name. They are fantastic at spinning hype. At least they were. They could probably do it again.
EDIT While Apple and IBM aren't brand names, they are names heavily associated with the products they've produced.

Basing things on a very small number of weeks is goofy in an spwolf kind of way. But 40 weeks is something a bit more, and if you've got an example of things not turning out the way the first 40 weeks suggest, I'd be interested. The only one that comes to mind is when Saturn and PS1 both started off slow and similar for 2 years until PS1 started getting the big big games.Nolan. said:

The old Mario sales graph was made when ioi's numbers were still being posted around, and I believe the initial version of that graph was purely ioi numbers. Also for some older data, he was the only source. I'm hoping that the historical Famitsu trackers here can help clear that up, though.
For ioi's older numbers, the dead giveaway is that they end in multiples of 250. He's stopped that now, though.

Some updated Famitsu numbers.

GBA Famicom Mini Super Mario Brothers 1,254,381 (20061231)

NDS Super Mario 64 DS 1,042,322 (20070701)Also, thanks for being willing to replace the numbers!

This Nintendo domination is really boring. And see Mario Party 8 at the top AND Twilight Princess only slighty above 500k is cruel.

These are based on Square2005's japanese million sellers list and FFXII sales do NOT include international edition; not updated since I made it:
I'll update it when FFXII:IE dies from the charts
lol in a few weeks)Unfortunately it's not as easy to make a nice looking chart when you have such divergent art styles and in retrospect I think the dropshadowing was a poor move visually.
But this one's a strategy RPG. I had hopes.tehbear said:
Oh well. As long as it's still a quality game and gets a US release, I'll buy it, at least. Really enjoyed Wild ARMs 1 in its time (though I find it far too slow today)--even chose to play it over FFVII, and that happened before I'd even gotten far enough into FFVII to realize that it wasn't another FFVI.
