Regulus Tera said:Wow. New Super Mario Bros. Wii already sold better than all 3D Marios. Why the fuck did it take so long for a 2D Mario to appear on a console again?
AniHawk said:That top three is nuts.
AniHawk said:For a while, the world was convinced 3D gaming made everything else obsolete. This gen, you're seeing pretty much everyone abandon that line of thinking. Even Sony, who hated 2D the most, had two LBP games made.
C4Lukins said:I would say install base plays a factor in it plus general popularity of the platform, but I do not see all that much general surprise in this thread to begin with.
1.) The install base is pretty similar to when FFX came out...V_Arnold said:There is this thing called difference in installed hardware base, you know. PS2 around that time was 5,2-5,4, while PS3 is at least 20% lower now.
C4Lukins said:What are the totals for PS3 hardware in Japan? That attach ratio for FF13 must be off the charts.
And because I do not want to trudge through the official thread, what is the consensus on FF13 compared to X, X-2, and XII?

I agree that the install base rationalization is close to irrelevant.grandjedi6 said:Install base, pfft.
farnham said:Hardware Numbers from Ruliweb via 2ch... dunno if trustworthy
Onesimos said:The total sales difference between the two games is around 156K. If New Super Mario Bros. Wii manages to outsell Friend Collection by at least 156K next week, it will bypass the latter game's total sales.
Wii Million Sellers:
WII - Wii Fit - 3,538,570
WII - Wii Sports - 3,528,473
WII - Wii Play - 2,697,416
WII - Mario Kart Wii - 2,370,000
Since it passed Super Smash Bros. Brawl's total sales, the next Wii milestone is Mario Kart Wii and after that the "Wii Family."
Thinking about it, it is quite funny that the best-selling Wii games in Japan have "Wii" in their titles! :lol
Unless they are Dengeki they are fake.farnham said:Hardware Numbers from Ruliweb via 2ch... dunno if trustworthy
grandjedi6 said:1.) The install base is pretty similar to when FFX came out...
2.) But on that note, since when the hell does install base matter in these situations? Install base and specific game sales do not increase at the same rate as tastes diversify as the console base grows. Additionally, a franchise like Final Fantasy is likely to drag its audience to whatever console it goes to, no matter what the technical install base may be. Also, since an install base really says nothing about the market size for a particular game, its likely, if not frequent, that a game will sell insane amounts even if its on a small install base. For example, the Xbox only had an install base of 20 million-ish at the time, yet Halo 2 went on to be one of the best selling game of that generation.
Install base, pfft.

I just saw these numbers are from that drill blog. These will be the Media Create numbers, add or substract a few units (like PS3).
slaughterking said:Inazuma turns out to become the most successful Level 5 IP. The first game already sold well, but who would've thought the second one would do that much better? First we laughed at Hino because his 800k expectation was kinda insane. Than we scratched our heads only a week ago, because the game apparently shipped one million copies, which left three hundred thousand unsold copies in store. And today we see that it may need another shipment in maybe 2 months from now. It's really amazing and shows that Level 5, as a third party publisher, is unchallenged when it comes to understanding the Japanese market.
But the 13th FF game is not doing bad either.

Chris1964 said:Yesterday.
I honestly don't think Sony expected it to sell at all in Japan, mostly because digital downloads tend to struggle to sell in Japan (on PS3, 360, etc.). I think their main goal was to see how a digital download only device would fare in the west (mostly as a test platform) and see if Japan might bite (although unlikely). That's one reason for the PSP Go's higher pricetag, use it as a test (because we all know Sony still plans a PSP 4000) to decide if PSP2 should go that same route. Because if Sony made PSP2 a digital download only device and saw PSP Go type numbers (after investing a lot of money into new hardware), they'd be in pretty big trouble. I just think it shows they'll stick with physical media for PSP2.Onesimos said:If the 2ch numbers are true (even though they are estimates), then the PSP Go's numbers are quite pathetic and we need to ask: What was Sony thinking of selling a download-only handheld system? The older DS Lite is selling 4x the PSP Go's total.

Cygnus X-1 said:Cannot stop being surprised about how a 2D Mario can sell. Simply astonishing.
AniHawk said:You're not the only one. I know there are a couple of threads full of doubters, but I don't know which threads those were in particular. I always thought the familiarity of a 2D Mario plus local multiplayer, which is what the Wii's success is partly built upon, would lead to really high sales.

Anyway, I just wandered which team of Nintendo developed Tomodachi collection. Since it's Mii-based, it is just another hit of Miyamoto.
Shikamaru Ninja said:It's by Yoshio Sakamoto's Software Planning & Development Group No. 1 (aka Nintendo R&D1 but a lot smaller than the old team). Which marks the second million seller new IP they created. They also developed Rhythm Heaven (GBA/DS).
