I thought Monster Hunter 3 was also due in June.
Am I just mistaken?

Grimmy said:Oh right. Yeah, tha's a pretty big title.
I actually tried to look it up but the release date is still a vague Summer 2009. I can'timagine it coming next month though... Probably August, but in my reply I'm counting only until end of July.
And that's a plus.markatisu said:On the MH side you are left with a slightly upgraded port of a really old game that cannot work with the standard Wii controls that most people have :lol
Vinci said:The same as they're doing now: Advent Children on Blu-Ray. When I said 'align,' I meant in terms of removing the demos and placing it as product vs. product. The two products of these items are Advent Children and MH G. Anyone stating that AC wouldn't push the PS3's sales, in and of itself, is kidding themselves. The demo is icing to the cake.

Right, because their strategy was working. One shouldn't let one's mouth write checks their ass can't cash.
And don't flip this around to a "who could know that Wii Music would bomb" thing. The fact that Wii Music fails to deliver on a desirable expanded-market premise the way that Wii Sports and Wii Fit do was clear to plenty of people the day they announced it. They just fucked up and their software strategy is 100% dependent on every single expanded-market idea they have being solid-gold genius, when clearly they can really only deliver like 75% solid-gold genius. :lol
Isn't this series much stronger on portables now? IIRC the PSP one sold over 200k last year, and NDS is even higher?Kurosaki Ichigo said:Took 3 entries on Wii to finally beat the only GC one, released in 2006 which sure wasn't GC strongest time. PS2 returns to #2 numbers but still far away from the first one.
This is the sub series from the American league though. There isn't an equivalent on portables so to speak but yeah, both the PSP and DS sub series are now bigger than anything on consoles.Fafalada said:Isn't this series much stronger on portables now?

It's not that they're more accepted, we just tend to use them because they're released (officially) first. All trackers are considered more or less equal.jeremy1456 said:Media Create numbers are generally more accepted 'round these parts though.

Not exactly hits, but after City Folk and through the Famitsu week starting April 6 they've got 5 charting new Wii releases that sum up to over 400K. Not a good half for a Nintendo, but I'm sure we could find a publisher or two wishing they could do that on any platform. Sony's two PS3 games in the same period (White Knight Chronicles and Demon's Souls) have done as well, though.Stumpokapow said:okay but that was still almost six months ago. they have not released ANYYYYTHING since then.
JoshuaJSlone said:Based on the latest Famitsu hardware numbers...
PS3 comparisons: After 128 weeks, PS3 is where PS2 was at 43.9 weeks (December 30, 2000), where PSP was at 65.8 weeks (March 1, 2006), where GCN was at 120.9 weeks (January 3, 2004), and where Wii was at 34.1 weeks (July 23, 2007).
Note that the big PS3 week did push it into GCN 2004 territory, but it hasn't yet caught up to GameCube.
Christmas. Gamecube launched earlier in the year, so the seasons don't line up in that graph.pseudocaesar said:Did the Gamecube get a price cut to get that huge climb at the point where it last overtook the PS3?
markatisu said:Famitsu also has been tracking the Wii at more stable levels (still shit sales), Media-Create is where the biggest decline was seen on a more consistent basis.
So I guess things are finally back to normal if only by 1k in Famitsu :lol
Yep. Here's one that shows weekly sales and aligns by calendar date, so GCN is all alone for a bit at the beginning:bcn-ron said:Christmas. Gamecube launched earlier in the year, so the seasons don't line up in that graph.

How so? If i am not mistaken, it was earlier planed by Capcom and known that MH3 was going to be released this summer some timeLaguna said:Capcom, great move to announce MH3s release date in this weeks Famitsu. :lol They really know how to kill sales of their own games by announcing their stuff to early.

Pretty stable sales, it has been around the 7-8k range for 3 weeks in a row now if i am not mistaken. I read that the game got a price drop already, but still, seems like stable sales anywaybttb said:19. [WII] Deca Sports 2 (Hudson) - 7,600 / 32,000

DarkMehm said:Historically Golden Week was never a big week. It just tends to be overrated on the internet. This isn't a holiday where lots of gifts and presents are bought.
cvxfreak said:Yeah, Capcom announcing RE5's release date over half a year early really hurt it.
At this rate it should easily hit the half million mark by the time its sequel arrives in October. With such strong, prolonged sales surely Nintendo has ear-marked this for a future release, even if it's just in Europe.bttb said:23. [NDS] Inazuma Eleven (Level 5) - 6,400 / 341,000

donny2112 said:Then maybe it's just when big games tend to be released that push it up. Looking at the yearly charts, it's pretty easy to see where Golden Week is based on hardware bumps for past years. This year? I may need to make a note. :lol
