Is it more or does Golden Week just not help at all regardless?

Yeah, this will be very interesting to see...let's see what happens. And after a horrid year of large year over year sales decline of wii, wii is finishing off the year very strong. It's gone from a disastrous 64% year over year decline and will probably finish somewhere a little above 30% year over year decline.

Media create has the albatross of reporting more Gamecubes sold in Japan than Nintendo actually shipped. I don't think Famitsu has anything quite so egregious an error in their history yet. But then, the only other tracker error I can recall at the moment is the one in Europe (Chart Track in the UK, I think?) this year that boldly reported 360 hardware sales far above Wii sales and later much more quietly redacted their numbers.
But both Famitsu's and MC's numbers are just estimates in the end, so I'm not at all surprised to see such a variance from a dramatically large week-to-week change.

Yeah, not having the brand name and possibly being released in a non-cartridge format likely means that DDP's sales were substantially lower than any of the Marios.
(July '87, by the way, was the release date in Japan, for those who don't want to click)

Being a big holiday I would've thought sales would rise higher...maybe I'm expecting too much from GW.

Nah. I'm thinking more like Crystal Bearers. Or Mario & Sonic Winter and Taiko 2 are a few more on Wii that have decent sales, but are probably missing our expectations more than Graces.Bel Marduk said:

Well, I don't like to get to precisely defining things like "flop", but its first years certainly weren't its best. The big change came at about the time of PSP-2000/Crisis Core. Monster Hunter fever seemed to still be stewing at this time; the first one had released to decent numbers and great legs, but it was a few more months until the second one hit in a big way.Rocksteady33 said:

Anyone got an updated comparsion between New Super Mario Bros DS/Wii weekly sales?
Edit: Nevermind, it's on a previous page.
So it hits 2 million. Still, how likely will it hit 4-5 million? And how does it compare to Mario Kart DS/Wii?

I was just late to mention it then (meant to mention it in last weeks thread)
Didn't notice the previous one was updated.

September. And it was still charting in the Top 15 of Famitsu's point rankings over two months later.

Well, at least Graces will have worldwide sales to help meet and surpass its budget.... that is assuming Namco actually does localize it (likely-ish) and assuming that they don't completely fuck it up (poor Europe).

Famitsu Software Stuff
At two weeks, NSMB Wii (3803) is where DS NSMB (241) was at three weeks.
Tales of Graces starts off worse than ToS: Dawn of the New World and the PS3 Vesperia port, though it does start somewhat better than the last two new mothership releases, X360's Vesperia and DS's Hearts.
Famitsu Software Pie: Wii takes a second week on top, though DS rises to second.
Wii: 42.7
DS: 26.0
PSP: 16.0
PS3: 9.5
X360: 3.8
PS2: 2.1
Other: 0.1

Do any Japanese trackers release revenue data? I assume NSMBW and FFXIII are selling for a higher ASP than previous versions, and thus their performance might look even better.
Even an RRP comparison might be interesting. NSMBW might be in the top 5 Mario games right now by revenue.

Even if GT5 sales will be poor, they will be more than many of the games released for Wii in the next 3 months...

I was thinking more on how Wii titles fare against their DS counterparts. Namely how well did MK Wii did against MK DS in weekly sales, and will NSMB Wii having similar pacing or have a better chance of matching a large percentage of the DS version's sales.

PAL regions got it a whole year after the US release! (So did TOV, we only got it back in August this year in 2009!)
I wouldn't knock Tales of Graces. New Super Mario Bros. and the holidays gave the Wii a massive push. I don't remember seeing that many Wii games in the top 50 ever honestly. I'm suprised Monster Hunter 3 didn't rear its head. Must've been entirely frontloaded... that's a bit of a shame.

Japanese sales age is interesting again. It could be because of the new releases/holiday, but it's still interesting none the less

Right now, I really just hope that Spirit Tracks will not bomb. And by that, I mean that LTD should at least be 500k. At least.
