Media Create Sales: Week 15, 2012 (Apr 09 - Apr 15)

 

[schuelma]

Yay for Fire Emblem!

 

[Sammy Samusu]

05./06. [3DS] Monster Hunter 3G # <ACT> (Capcom) {2011.12.10} (¥5.800) - 13.069 / 1.403.296 (-13%)

Oh oh oh oh oh.

 

[Kazerei]

Huge win for Fire Emblem Awakening. Previous FE games have opened <150k

 

[Sadist]

Holy crap at Fire Emblem

 

[liger05]

So the vita had stabalised at 10k? That machine is practically dead now.

 

[Krev]

8K barrier is the new 10K barrier.

 

[cw_sasuke]

EPIC Fire Emblem sales
Vita vs. Wii for the next weeks should be entertaining.

 

[AniHawk]

that is a fantastic start for fire emblem. wow.

 

[slaughterking]

Sweet, sweet Fire Emblem numbers. Really happy to see it doing so well.

Other than that it looks like the PSP may go below 10k too in the coming weeks. Well, after Golden Week.

 

[Salvadora]

Surprised by SM3DL, It seems to be holding better than I expected. Great Fire Emblem number.

 

[Erethian]

Huge win for Fire Emblem Awakening. Previous FE games have opened <150k

A lot of them have had LTD sales of around 250k, too.

 

[Kacho]

Fire Emblem...on fire.

 

[Tenbatsu]

MH3G 1.4million! Yeah!

 

[Dead Prince]

will wait for ____ won't save the Vita.

 

[Cygnus X-1]

Fantastic Fire Emblem opening. I expected a bit more from 3DS hardware, but it's not disappointing by any means.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Pretty abysmal sales outside of Fire Emblem.

 

[BurntPork]

Wow. FE is amazing, but CoP and 3DS hardware could have been higher...

Edit: 3DS will cross 1.5 million YTD next week! :O

 

[Jindujun]

holy crap! those are some great numbers for fire emblem

 

[massoluk]

| PSV | 8.206 | 8.250
| WII | 7.025 | 6.837

Can it be? Can the streams cross?

 

[rouken]

go fire emblem

and the top 10 dominated by 3ds games. lol

 

[Metallix87]

GREAT first week for Fire Emblem, but everything else looks weak. Makes some sense, as we approach Golden Week. I was hoping for a slightly better start for Code of Princess, though.

 

[jman2050]

Vita vs Wii the new PS3 vs GBA?

 

[Cheesemeister]

It passed Kid Icarus without even trying? Dang.

 

[Bruno MB]

01./00. [3DS] Fire Emblem: Awakening # <SLG> (Nintendo) {2012.04.19} (¥4.800) - 242.600 / NEW[

Amazing figures for this new entry.

It has sold in its first week what both Fire Emblem: New Shadow Dragons and the Blade of Light and Fire Emblem: Shin Monshou no Nazo: Hero of Light and Shadow sold on NDS during their lifetime.

 

[marc^o^]

I called it for FE, the game looks too good not to sell well.

 

[Krev]

Going forward, Fire Emblem looks to be a premiere Nintendo franchise once again. Great to see.

 

[BadWolf]

Vita, I want to believe but...

 

[cw_sasuke]

| PSV | 8.206 | 8.250
| WII | 7.025 | 6.837

Can it be? Can the streams cross?

Mario Party 9 is comin - so yes.

 

[Divvy]

Fantastic sales for Fire Emblem. Can't wait to play it.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Wow at Vita.

Are we yet at the threshold for the return of comedy 'shops and GIFs?

 

[Nibel]

Spoiler

JK! Sorry but I had to :lol

 

[frankie_baby]

| PSV | 8.206 | 8.250
| WII | 7.025 | 6.837

Can it be? Can the streams cross?

With golden week and mario party 9 next week there's a good chance

 

[slaughterking]

Fantastic Fire Emblem opening. I expected a bit more from 3DS hardware, but it's not disappointing by any means.

If Nintendo really sold 30k of the bundle through their online store there's like no way MC was tracking them seeing how the rise is only 20k.

 

[Diablos54]

Great opening for Fire Emblem, hopefully it'll have the legs to break 400k, maybe even 500k. Vita seems to have stabilized at around 8k, let's see what Golden Week does for its sales. Being outsold 10-1 isn't good though.

And Vita vs. Wii is the new GBA vs. PS3!

 

[saichi]

EPIC Fire Emblem sales
Vita vs. Wii for the next weeks should be entertaining.

for the next 2 weeks, Wii will probably win one of them

 

[Tenbatsu]

19K gamers support Nishimura's art

 

[zroid]

Not as much of a hardware boost for 3DS as I expected, but still good. Great numbers for Fire Emblem... awful numbers for everything else -_-

Golden Week cometh

 

[rouken]

Going forward, Fire Emblem looks to be a premiere Nintendo franchise once again. Great to see.

and i hope nintendo follows it up with an announcement of advance wars 3d.

 

[Kyoufu]

Should have called it PSP2 in Japan for the extra 2k sales per week.

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

Fire Emblem laying the smack down.

Vita has re-stabilized at 8k. Can it continue to beat the Wii? Stay tuned.

 

[muu]

If Nintendo really sold 30k of the bundle through their online store there's like no way MC was tracking them seeing how the rise is only 20k.

Mc usually specifically says if their numbers includes bundles and such. Since there's no mention of that they may not have included whatever numbers Nintendo sold themselves. Maybe we will get details on this on Friday when media create updates their own page.

19/04/12 [3DS] Fire Emblem: Awakening - 242.600 / NEW

Second best opening for the series since it is likely that Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem debuted higher.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

I think a pretty interesting developing story is Super Mario Land 3D consistently selling better then Mario Kart 7. All current signs point to SML3D becoming one of the huge evergreen titles that the Wii and DS saw, even though it is mainly a 3D Mario. But will New Super Mario Bros 3DS eat into SML3D's numbers, and is it really smart to release another Mario so soon with the first one still selling so well?

We shall see.

 

[electroplankton]

Awakening already one of the best-selling entry in the series?

Code of Princess is nice, by the way.

 

[Moor-Angol]

At least Vita sold more than the Virtual Boy

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Hmm, was happy to see CoP at number 2, but those numbers are lower than I expected.

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

Great first week for fire emblem.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

So nice to see that there is still a thriving market for a quality SRPG.

 

[BishopLamont]

Sweet, sweet Fire Emblem numbers. Really happy to see it doing so well.

Other than that it looks like the PSP may go below 10k too in the coming weeks. Well, after Golden Week.

Yeah with all the focus on Vita and 3DS, PSP's drop week after week has gone unnoticed. That Sony hardware is shrinking fast.

We shall see.

The hardware sales gained from NSMB 2 far outweighs any software sales lost by it. Nintendo wants to put the Vita to rest asap. They have the Wii-U to focus and need all the third party support they can get on the 3DS. With that said, I don't think NSMB 2 will eat into SML3D sales that much, they're different enough to sell side by side, and its more likely that both games will compliment each other rather than cannibalize each others sales.
