Is that a subtle way of saying "Zelda Wii = cel-shaded"?

I hope so

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

Why wouldn't Zelda sell over a million? It's only been out for, what, two months? It'll get there, I bet by the end of this year.

Yeah, we just won't see it happen on the MC chart.

 

[cvxfreak]

Nintendo can easily cel-shade the next Wii Zelda. It's not like their position in the console wars is on the line like it was with Wind Waker and the GameCube.

Yeah, and I think the cel-shaded style is more timeless than the more "realistic" Twilight Princess. It might not be able to eclipse the HD visuals of the other systems, but it can set itself apart with its style. Kinda like SMG.

 

[Haunted]

Rooting for PH and MP8, very nice to see them sell so well.

HOLY FUCKING CRAP at Wii Sports reaching 2 million... just wow.

There are definitely better ways to have fun with friends.

True. When's Strikers Charged out in Japan?

 

[Sir Alemeth]

I personally LOVED the cel-shaded graphics in WW, Zelda Wii in it would be awesome...just....rework Link's model. Seriously, I loved every other characters' models EXCEPT Link's...

 

[AlternativeUlster]

Looking at the WiiSports 2 million mark, I don't understand why Japan just didn't bundle it with the Wii and sell it for $50 more. I doubt any Japanese people would go, "No fucking way" and then they would walk over and pick up a 360.

 

[Lobster]

Go DQS (still in top 30) and holy shit at MP8. Definite million seller for Wii.

 

[Frillen]

I'm predicting MKDS = 3 million, New SMB = 6 million, ACWW = 4.5 million (absolute minimum), Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/the inevitable third version = 7.5 million, and Brain Age 2 = 5.5 million.

>_>

I think ACWW is betwen 4.4 Mill and 4.5 Mill right now. Why should it stop selling at 4.5 Mill?

 

[Sho Nuff]

Hooray for crappy games selling lots of copies

 

[BishopLamont]

MP8 has great legs.

I am not sure if Zelda will reach a million but I really want it to.

And lol at Wii Sports reaching exactly 2 million..

They're rounded numbers, Wii Sports didn't reach exactly 2 million.

...Unless it did, wait till MC numbers come out.

Early numbers for the win.

 

[Talamius]

If nothing else MnG has allowed the PS3 to gain a slight foothold in weekly hardware sales. For that alone it should be considered a success.

Japan still belongs to Nintendo though.

 

[plagiarize]

golf bump wasn't a joke after all. impressive.

 

[Endgegner]

When is Oblivion PS3 released? I think it's gonna be interesting how it will do perform, given that the X360 version did really well for a western rpg. I wonder if the far bigger userbase will translate into great sales or if the PS3 crowd is much less into western developed software.

 

[Elios83]

When is Oblivion PS3 released?

Mid September if my memory doesn't fail.
Next week it's Baldestorm's turn.

 

[Stumpokapow]

golf bump wasn't a joke after all. impressive.

That will all depend if next week is 18k, continuing the -3k trend, or 21k, holding steady at a new sales point.

 

[Fuzzy]

Xbox 360 LTD = 399,936

So close.

I thought that was weird too. What's weirder is that they are number 28 while combined. Last week Diamond and Pearl were 24 and 28 respectively. So i'm going to guess that it's actually Diamond that's 28 and Pearl is between 31 and 35. Assuming this is really media create.

You're right. Diamond = 28 and Pearl = 32.

 

[donny2112]

Looking at the WiiSports 2 million mark, I don't understand why Japan just didn't bundle it with the Wii and sell it for $50 more.

To prove the point that Wii Sports is an actual system seller and not just a throw away pack-in. That and they had already stated that the system would be 25,000 Yen.

 

[mclem]

That will all depend if next week is 18k, continuing the -3k trend, or 21k, holding steady at a new sales point.

Either way, it's not tailed off as rapidly as the previous bumps, although it does seem that MnG is the only game that's selling well. If some other big title can give it another boost soon, things might start looking decidededly better.

Hang on.

Some other big title... soon.

Um.

Oh dear.

 

[Blablurn]

another 20k weekend for PS3! I appreciate that! There is still hope for next gen.

 

[plagiarize]

That will all depend if next week is 18k, continuing the -3k trend, or 21k, holding steady at a new sales point.

no, i think it's impressive that sales are still this high after the release of one game. even if that trend continues, it's had much more of an effect on the hardware than any other PS3 game, and stayed in the top ten for longer.

 

[Frillen]

I seriously thought the PS3 would decrease to below 13k again after just two or three weeks after Minna no Golf 5 came out. But I was obviously wrong.

Wii went up to 65k. I think it's going to sell between 60k-75k on avrage per week for the next few months.

 

[lo zaffo]

Is that a subtle way of saying "Zelda Wii = cel-shaded"?

No Wii (cel-shaded) Zelda, please. Try a different thing. More Zelda on NintendoDs, please.

[Fuzzy]

Was there a PS3 Gundam bundle the same way there's one for MnG?

 

[Frillen]

minna no legs
or should it be minna have legs? i honestly do not know

Decent legs. But one of the biggest reason why it has decent legs is because it doesn't have ANY competition.

 

[Magicpaint]

Was there a PS3 Gundam bundle the same way there's one for MnG?

Yeah.

 

[Fuzzy]

Yeah.

Thanks.


BTW the MC notes says that the previous DS Gundam game (May 2005) sold 53K in the first week. They attribute the increase to the fact that the DS install base is a little bigger now.

 

[kay]

There was no games after Gundam Musou's release, not until Ninja Gaiden really. April 1st, Pro Baseball Spirits was it, then June 14 for Sigma, Madden doesn't count. Pachislot Sengoku Musou (not a big deal) was pushed back to September but at least Bladestorm is a month after a game release this time around.

i wonder if Tetris and Mario Kart long legs are due to online mode

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

I would love to see a mix of the "Mature" and Cel-Shaded styles. I don't see why they have to be mutually exclusive.

A game in Wind Waker style that had the atmosphere of Majora's Mask could quite possibly be my favourite Zelda ever.
