NSMBWii should hit 4m in March

 

[Shadowlink]

I wonder if BBS will reach 1 million.

Nice NSBW sales! Hopefully a New Super Mario World announcement in the future.

Nice NSBW sales! Hopefully a New Super Mario World announcement in the future.

It will probably end up with 800-900k, like Dissidia and KH1.

 

[KTallguy]

Been playing this all week, it's GODLY.

Kentoushi: Gladiator Begins (Acquire)

It's basically a retooling/remake of the PS2 game ("Coliseum: Road to Freedom" in the US), gets rid of all the bullshit annoying stuff and adds better progression, makes the combat more intuitive, adds a non-annoying system where you develop relationships with the different Coliseum owners. God this game is so fun and the combat is so brutal.

Go download the demo off of PSN

 

[SlipperySlope]

A light gun game got decent sales?

 

[Chris1964]

Holidays boost finally ended this week. It lasted a little longer than usually.

Poor Last Window.

 

[MattyGrovesOrMe]

Darkside Chronicles' launch is down 10000 units from its predecessor:

Media Create Sales 11/12/2007 - 11/18/2007

02./00. [WII] Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles (Capcom) - 82,637 / NEW

RE: UC dropped to 14th in its second week, and totalled 178,000 in its first six weeks.

 

[Tashi]

Wow New Super Mario Bros Wii is a monster

 

[RustyNails]

What are the numbers for FF XIII this week?

 

[Souldriver]

Not exactly 100k for RE. And Friends collection did drop by half, as I suggested.
I'm not calling victory though, since it wasn't really a prediction on my part, just some skepticism towards the deduction of hard numbers going from the position of the titles in the top 10.


How big are the chances that Spirit Tracks inches its way to Phantom Hourglass numbers? And NSMBW keeps on going. A 13% drop.

 

[ClearCELL]

What are the numbers for FF XIII this week?

Around 20k

 

[MattyGrovesOrMe]

For shits and giggles:

New Super Mario Bros. DS Position on chart the week RE: UC launched in 2007: 23

New Super Mario Bros. DS Position on chart the week RE: DC launched in 2010: 16

 

[EXGN]

Wow, really surprised Operation Flashpoint beat out Batman. I thought Batman woulda done pretty well in Japan, actually...

 

[RustyNails]

Around 20k

Is this in alignment with previous Final Fantasy installments? I'm kinda interested in knowing how it compared to 12 and 10.

 

[GDGF]

New Super Mario Bros. DS Position on chart the week RE: UC launched in 2007: 23

That's amazing, once and if the third one comes out NSMB DS will be at 28

Awesome. Thanks

Pretty good on Square for selling so many units on PS3, which has a lesser installed base than what PS2 had when FF12 released.

 

[confuziz]

Nice hold for NSMBWii

It will easily become the best selling Wii game in Japan..probably within a few months.

RE: DS numbers are not that bad really, wonder if it can reach 200k as well.

 

[AniHawk]

Well, ST has hit a million worldwide, but it's doing really poorly compared to the previous installment.

 

[BorkBork]

Nooo Hotel Dusk 2! I think the original did quite well, did it not?

 

[duckroll]

It's just a little slow...

Spoiler

just like the frigging train!

Nooo Hotel Dusk 2! I think the original did quite well, did it not?

Yeah, opened at 61k, did over 200k lifetime. This is doing much worse.

 

[LINK.AGE76]

61k first week I believe.

It was first shown in October 2005 as part of the usual trailer reels from Nintendo's Japan conferences. Sorta like Soma Bringer, Disaster, Reginleiv, etc. There weren't any actual details until E3 2006 in May. Eventually the game was released in Jan 2007. It wasn't a sudden announcement -> release, but I don't think it had a ton of marketing or anything either.

Edit: No comparison with KH DS?

December Holiday season.

Hey cvxfreak, I think you need to go out and buy 50k worth of DSC. That should make for an impressive bump next week.

 

[LINK.AGE76]

PSP should be on top in the hardware department as well as next week. DS will take it once DQ6r comes out.

 

[lupin23rd]

Operation Flashpoint sold more than Batman?

 

[duckroll]

December Holiday season.

And Dissidia had 2 more days of sales.

Hey cvxfreak, I think you need to go out and buy 50k worth of DSC. That should make for an impressive bump next week.

[BowieZ]

Is there ANY way NSMBW can post 167K a week average for the next 6 weeks?

There's no, like, Golden Weeks in Feb are there?

Oh, well, hitting 4 million by the end of March is still insane.

 

[cvxfreak]

Do you think it'll sell well?

I hope so! RE re-releases always do decently at minimum.

But if it doesn't, then I shall spam the MC threads telling everyone how people are just buying it on PSN and XBL. Please don't ban me! :lol

Damn, how far have Tekken's fortunes fallen? It doesn't seem so long ago that it was the premier 3d fighting game, now... 100k on PS3 isn't horrible but its not great either, but 25k opening on PSP is grim.

Or people don't want to play a serious fighting game on a portable system.

 

[Vilix]

With NSMBWii only being down 13% from last week shows staying power. It could even be pushing considerable hardware. I'm curious if the Wii is still supply from Christmas. Was it ever?
