I think they are ok, but I was expecting a bit more..remember with this type of game usually the LTD doesn't get all that much higher. Not a bomb or anything, but I think it could have performed better.

I was only scanning through these numbers, but I only now realized that NSMB has almost sold 6 million in Japan alone... That is insane! I hope NSMBWii will have similar legs, its the better game of the two. Maybe there will even be another push when Galaxy 2 is released.

listen to the mad man
EoE 360 doing 25k indicates that the audience that existed for 360 exclusive RPGs have by and large bought PS3s (probably on the back of FF13). EoE 360 not causing a hardware spike means that anyone who is buying a platform for the express purpose of playing an RPG at this point is going to buy the PS3.
Neither of these facts should surprise anyone, of course.

Just as we switch the prediction league to M-Create, the early Famitsu leak comes back but not entirely (rest of top30 + new releases missing). We should threaten to use Dengeki next, maybe we get first day sales back.
Number-wise, I think EOE is a bit disappointing. Being multiplatform certainly seems to help it match many other new IPs LTDs on these systems with the 1st week only:
End of Eternity 134k (110k PS3, 24k 360)
The Last Remnant 135k (360 LTD)
Eternal Sonata 124k (70k 360 LTD, 53k PS3 LTD)
Infinite Undiscovery 114k (360 LTD)
Lost Odyssey 110k (360 LTD)
Doesn't match (established franchises) SO4 or TOV-PS3 first week though. I thought it could do the former, which was just 166k. The 360 version pales with other titles where it got a (timed or not) exclusive, 24k is pretty average. The PS3 version being just half of what the TOV port did 1st week isn't stellar either.
Ar Tonelico 3 on the other hand looks like it sticked to its userbase (pun intended). Right between AT1 and AT2 (57k and 68k) respective first week.

I said as much last week. The decline was even sharper than I anticipated.onken said:
The reason I participated in the guessing game for the first time, and with 65k I came quite close. I had a bit of hope that it might actually outsell part 2, which it failed to, but it's still a very respectable number.
I got very close on DQ as well (900k), but I overestimated EoE a bit, particularly on 360 -- I mostly went with a gut feeling of a bit less than what others were predicting at the time.

The PS3 staying below 30K for this week surely isn't a good sign for how it's going to sell this year.

Decent sales for EoE, expected a lot more esp from the ps3 version. Maybe its was too westernised (guns, art, color palette) for the japanese audience. Not much in terms of hardware bump for the ps3 too. Also, didn't the last rebellion and MAG release this week? Wonder how those 2 titles did.
Won't be the first time they did something that stupid, its Sega after all.Chris1964 said:

This article apparently says "Sengoku 3 managed to broaden the users (more players than the previous series)". and this was said by the head of Omega Force.

If it follows the typical front-loaded sales pattern for games of its type, perhaps "mouth to mouth" is unintentionally apt...

Anyway, what happened to the Famitsu numbers from like last week or so? Wasn't it like two or three weeks ago when SW3 was at 240,000?

The translation I saw earlier painted it as more a broadening of the demographic rather than an increase in the number of players which tends to make more sense, especially given the way the game was being advertised.

I just read a rumor on a banned Nintendo site that Nintendo will reveal new hardware at this years GDC. The rumor comes from a supposed worker from a major publisher.
The rumor is actually from here: http://www.videogamer.com/news/devs_already_working_on_new_nintendo_platform.htmlLINK.AGE76 said:

Sega was looking for easy money without even thinking of worlwide sales, they should have stuck with the PS3.
At this point would it be an insane decision to do a Wii port for the western market?

*no big point until we get the numbers confirmed, oh well*Bebpo said:
I thought EOE disadvantage (being a new IP) would just counter those games disadvantages (not hitting both platforms simultaneously or being a late port). But in the end, it seems it hit EOE quite harder.
Lets remember here for a non-fucked-consoles-generation reference that Radiata Stories sold 190k first week.
*safely ignore this post if legit numbers tell a different story*

The DS successor maybe but no chance in hell will the Wii's successor even be mentioned.Taurus said:
To be fair, Zelda has to be released in 2010 according to Aonuma, Spirit Tracks was actually pushed forward so that there wouldn't be two Zelda launches in a single year. After Zelda is out all known Wii EAD projects have launched. In fact, I don't think there's a single game for Wii in development that is set for release in 2011.BishopLamont said:

Given Nintendo's level of secrecy, I think that any sort of release this year would involve an announcement at GDC. Anyone else would give 3rd parties a year to a year and a half to prepare software. I don't get the feeling that they'd be very keen on providing info to 3rd parties ahead of time with the way the internet likes leaks and rumors anymore.Nirolak said:

It would sell better on Wii than PSP in NA, but I don't think greatly so. Certainly not enough to cover the effort of porting it, I'd think.Jim Gazoline said:
Honestly if they were going to port it anywhere for NA, the wisest course of action would be to "port" it to PSN for PS3.
Cosmonaut X said:
It's a comment on the audience. He said that "even though at 250k we sold only half of the previous entry, I feel that we have captured many new users in the process".
Basically he's just damage controlling for low sales, and it doesn't indicate that they are either happy about it, or that it is a good thing on its own.
