Possibly. Since I don't live in Japan I'm just relaying what's being said by those there. We'll have to wait for this week's numbers to see if there was any effect on FFXIII.kpop100 said:I think the effect of used copied at this point is being overestimated. We are probably talking a swing of 1-2k in sales at best in next weeks numbers. In a month or so new sales may hit the skids because of the amount of used copies.
First four weeks (week - sales - drop):

38 132,667 (-71.8%)

Sage00 said:NSMBW is insane. If this game survives the usual Nintendo post-holiday drop then they don't even need a Q1 lineup.
Moor-Angol said:probably the biggest bomba for a nintendo game...
schuelma said:Iwata is that you?
gerg said:I don't know why it couldn't be true, at least from a hardware perspective.
I think people overestimate the importance of having different software in any given period. All you need is something to attract people to consistently buy your console - if it happens to be one title instead of five, so be it.
In terms of (re)igniting the Wii's software market, then I agree that multiple, various titles are necessary.
schuelma said:I wasn't necessarily disagreeing with him and said much the same thing yesterday I believe. Just making a little joke that Iwata's attitude towards Q1 seems to be similar.
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.
Going by MC data, ranking of the weeks 51:Sage00 said:That's a very good point. How do total hardware sales this week compare to historical highs? The power of all markets old and new, core and casual, existing as one, beautiful. :'(

How many bundles have they shipped anyway? Can't remember we got information about that.John Harker said:How many ToG hardware bundles were there? Surely those have sold out?
Ah ok, so there is a new record this week of numbers of Wii titles who charted in one single week in the Media Create Top 50 list, nice Thanks for the info!donny2112 said:This week. The previous record was 15 from Dec 8-14, 2008.

49. / 12. [360] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Square Enix)
charlequin said:Used copies are already affecting sales, because we're already in the second week. We go through this with every major Japanese RPG. FFXIII is not going to be immune to this effect in any way; if it varies from the norm, it would absolutely be in seeing heavier used traffic due to the high price.
Is it pronounced how I think it is pronounced?:lol40. / 00. [NDS] Poupee Girl DS (Alvion)
DMeisterJ said:Holy crap at Graces. ick.
It's really shocking to see a 360 game drop like a rock on its second week.Onesimos said:Ouch! It fell 37 slots from its debut week, the biggest drop this week. It was really top-loaded.

This year is a little strange. Next week will be equal or a little bigger from this and the first week of 2010 will be equal to these or slightly smaller. So don't get surprised if Mario goes up again.schuelma said:I keep forgetting- is next week the biggest software week or was it this week?

Just average between MC, Famitsu, and Dengeki.Onesimos said:I wonder which tracker to trust: Media Create or Famitsu?
charlequin said:So it's funny to me that on the one hand kpop100 was 100% correct and the PS3 did indeed outsell the Wii by more than 30k this week, and on the other hand the Wii way overshot my own expectations and certainly those of many other predictors and, I think we can safely say, would've outsold the PS3 if the Lightning bundle had as limited as we originally thought.
I can't get over how ridiculous NSMBW is doing. Even as someone who was a pretty relentless advocate for it from early on and insisted it would be a big hit against many naysayers, if someone had told me it'd be blowing launch-aligned numbers for NSMB DS out of the water I'd have said they were crazy. :lol
Yeah, but the game is not hurt. It was a low cliff. More of a mound, really.Nuclear Muffin said:Wow, Graces fell off a cliff. FF13 and NSMB Wii have just utterly crushed it! (Love how NSMBWii punches SM64 out of the way and shoots a fireball up SMAS' arse on the chart BTW, nice attention to detail! :lol)
