Yeah, please pm me your e-mail address. Couldn't really wait to get your hands on latest Famitsu figure, heh ?
Some appetizer for you, games that did not show up in the previous week list (If I am not mistaken) :
Code:
咲かせて！ ちびロボ！【任天堂】 18089 : LTD 13万4506
Pokemon Diamond & Pearl 18424 : LTD 528万3004Pokemon Diamond and Pearl are soon going to zip past Pokemon Ruby & Saphire in a few weeks as the highest LTD game in my own database (which is not complete). Current Ruby & Saphire is 5,337,045, up to 31-Dec-06 (I haven't check yet whether Ruby & Saphire show up in 2006 Top 500, since I have not finished compiling it yet).

I believe it dropped in the US - at least with bundles it did.

I can tell you that right now. There are many copies to be found, t is not rare in any way. But one importnt thing is that there are more used copies than new ones. And those used copies are usually quite a bit cheaper at this point. There is little reason to pick up a new copy. Still, many casual gamers buy games not from game shops but just from department stores (which don't sell used games) so it has the potential to crawl to the million point but it's probably gonna be pretty close.
As for Zelda: PH, there are also many copies on shelves both new and used. But I feel confident that this title will surpass the 1 million point. Word of mouth is still selling this game. As people discover how to interact with it they must have a copy of thir own. It is attracting new zelda fans.

No sinobi or famitsu Top 10 yet?
I'm curious about where FF:CC RoF capped off for the week.

Holiday is over?
But for some reason, the numbers still look a bit lower than normal?
FF:CC @ 206k isn't bad at all. It could probably reach 500k if it has CoM-like legs. We'll see how well word of mouth carries it.
GS3 had a good showing too. Was that budget priced like GS2?

Anyone remember the name of that "blue ocean" guy? I really want to know what he says about all this right now.

Sure looks like holidays over...most systems going quite down (all but PS2?). FFCC had a 240k shipment so over 200k sell through is really good. Now its time for SE to restock it...
Btw, I saw a Top30 chart that looks like a 2-week-combined Famitsu one...is this the one some of you were talking about (donny, joshua...)? Also hardware combined I think...

judging by the high numbers in the USA and Europe at the moment, i think supply is being diverted elsewhere.
USA probably had some extra units shipped to go with MP3
and Europe probably has all the DS units for Pokemon and BT2
206k is a nice start for Ring of Fates. It beat out the first week of sales for the original game, and it was a solid sell-through percent of the shipment (82%).
GS3's first week sales are huge compared to GS2 DS's. Hell, GS3 DS sold almost as much first week as the GBA original did.

GS3 65,000
Deserves every last one of those sales and a whole lot more. The game is fantastic. (Well, except from the typo riddled english translation. Hopefully AA4 - when it comes over - isn't as rushed.)

SM2 Mushouden also did pretty well, just a little less (190k vs 176k) than Sengoku Musou Mushouden despite SM selling over 1m (SM2 just over 500k) and SM2 having a Empires version too (SM didn't). Good starts for the important titles last week.ethelred said:

If Wii hits 50k does that mean that units really were diverted to the U.S. ?
Kurosaki Ichigo said:
BladeStorm scored very well in Famitsu and from what little bit of what I played of the demo, it seemed fun but I had no idea what I was doing or how to play since it was all in Japanese.
I would definitely say so. Nintendo's production numbers are moving upwards and there wouldn't be any other reason why Japan would get such a small amount, besides the small percentage drop that every system experienced post-holiday.TheKingsCrown said:
Not during July like Pachter suggested, but it's possible. Wii was sold out on Amazon.co.jp for the last few weeks (including the 8/20 - 8/26 period of these preliminary numbers) after having been available for a number of weeks prior. It recently (just one or two days ago) became available again.TheKingsCrown said:
There's no site like iTrackr for Japan, is there?

I can never tell when youre doing your Anihawk impression anymore, but assuming youre being serious, how do you get to that conclusion from a single week of lower-than-usual numbers?
Diverting to the US would make sense and be a good strategy. Japan is won at this point, all Nintendo is doing is the sales-age equivalent of running up the score. 50k is plenty.
With more units going to the US they could have the lead in 12 months with a good holiday showing. That would be bigger in the grand scheme of things.

I think this is partially to do with Nintendo knowing this would be a slow week (or somehow, when Nintendo under ships, the market shrinks, including for non-Nintendo consoles).
Wii's market share across all systems excluding GBA/GC last week was 25.57%. This week, it's 22.59%, which isn't much difference. I think Nintendo want to sustain a minimum weekly hardware market share in Japan and are shipping accordingly - less on typically slow weeks, more big weeks. So Nintendo can ship about 50k some weeks, sustain a good hardware market share, and then have more units for other regions which may be strategically more important. The is to ship just enough units in Japan, and the rest to Other and NA.
