They are pushing Rocket Slime 3 in a rather large way, A huge problem I see with 3ds 3rd party games right now is that a majority of them seem to be targeted at the elementary/middle school group, whereas that group really hasn't been able to afford a 3ds yet.

The PS3 has sold almost 7 million in Japan,and it's starting to bear fruits.The good thing is that third parties have taken notes.dili said:
Several niche games on PSP.Japanese third parties are flocking back to Sony's home consoles.walking fiend said:
FF XIII-2,MGS HD Collection,PES 2012,Ni no Kuni,...will appear in the coming months.
Comgnet reflected the downfall of the Wii two years ago,so you better take it seriously.

I think DQX will outsell all of those games on that chart, yet it's nowhere to be seen, therefore I don't know how seriously I can take that chart. Is there any precedence for using it?

Zelda is down a lot because they had not restocked until sometime this week.
PSP beat 3DS is expected. PSP is getting lots of games whereas 3DS is starting slow.
Earth Seeker must have been a stealth launch there D:

This is probably the best place for this type of news, as its the thread I've posted in for 4+ years- I became a father Monday night- a beautiful baby girl.
Apologies if its a bit OT, but to bring it somewhat into the gaming realm, her name is Mackenzie, and everyone is already calling her Little Mac.

It is the preorder ranking of games at one chain of stores in Japan. It cannot be used to come to reliable conclusions about actual sales except in the very generalest sense. i.e. If it's got hundreds of Comgnet preorders, then it shouldn't sell under 10K or something like that. It's completely accurate for what it is (preorder rankings for one chain of stores) but breaks down when trying to apply it to MC/Famitsu sales numbers.
And, of course, as preorders gear more toward the hardcore, these lists gear more towards the hardcore and can leave out casual/mainstream titles that can sell really well, like a Dragon Quest X, if it's even available for preorder at Comgnet, yet.

Awesome! Congratulations!
Little Mac.
Captain MacKenzie Calhoun from the Star Trek: New Frontier series. Goes by Mac, mostly.
Though, you were probably referring to the Punch-Out reference.
Good numbers for Gust and Meruru but still not the highest PS3 debut for a Gust game is it? I seem to remember AT:3 being right up at 100k for the opening week although I could be mistaken.
Shame there's such a lag between Japan getting the Atelier series and when we in the States get them. I enjoyed Rorona and will be looking forward to Totori whenever it finally hits.
Who's the team behind that Bleach game? I see SCE as the publisher and I know NIS is bringing it to the US later in the year and I wonder what expectations were for that one. Sub 25k seems pretty bad.

Well Bleach did better than some of the more recent ones which is good, go Ichigo. Since its coming to the west it could become the best selling Bleach game yet.

Congratulations, now get your priorities straight and stop fathering and post more on GAF.
DQX should have no problems gonna topping COMGNET with huge numbers. Excluding Versus XIII, which has been there for god knows how many years, games appear on COMGNET closer to the release; we don't even have a logo for DQX yet (do we?).
And congrats, Schuelma! It was almost 2 years ago the last time someone went off-topic like that. Time flies.

Really, 360 development has to be really cheap for these devs to keep on supporting it exclusively. Besides Steins Gate, the 360 has been on decline with regards to the niche stuff.
Makes me wonder how much longer will the devs can put up with this before they'll have to join the dark side. lol

I think we'll have to wait for TGS to see what the Vita launch lineup is going to look like in Japan.

honestly, PSVita's Japanese sales success is academic at this point based on features and price point, dual retail/digital sales strategy and following the current trend of leadership set by PSP.
If you don't think PSVita is going to bring back the Japanese market, then you are essentially saying you expect it to die because Wii U sure isn't going to do it, and PS4 will be a long time coming and probably priced higher than Japanese mass market adoption for several years after launch.

No it isn't.
Your basing it's success on irreverent things, software moves hardware. Vita has had no software announced that will move any hardware, passed the early adopters, in Japan. IF at TGS we see some viable software then you can come and spout this, but not till then.
I've copy and pasted Chris's work into the OP, so that omissions (such as the fabled hardware charts), and some slight errors have now been corrected.
These past 3 weeks have really been an eye opener as to how much effort Chris puts into these threads. It's a lot, and I don't even do half of the stuff he does.
In the future if I'm given the opportunity to make another one of these threads, I'll try harder to get as much of it as I can. I do understand the disappointment when you come off of Chris's elaborate posts, onto a more bare bones replacement.
Well, to be honest the launch software isn't exactly repugnant to Japanese audiences. There's Ridge Racer (which hasn't been confirmed for launch), Hot Shots Golf, and Dynasty Warriors. All three of those games were also launch titles for the PSP, and sold pretty well. That's just software we know of, as like you mention, there's TGS and I imagine a bunch of stuff will be announced during the lead up, and the event itself.
Whoa, congratulations!
If they keep calling her Little Mac, you'll need to teach her the lore of Punchout!

Vita's 3rd party launch window software is basically what 3DS already had too, minus Layton. Essentially the whole argument on Vita's Japanese success hinges on PSP being popular at the moment, as if we've learned nothing from SFC/N64, PS2/PS3 and DS/3DS.

A lot of people more on the sales-age side than the console warriors side started changing their tune after the official lineup was revealled. I think most assumed a lot of the games anounced would've been coming out sooner instead of slamming the holiday season with tons of titles like they are doing now. Granted the 3DS still underperformed to what a lot of Sales-agers were expecting.klee123 said:
As for Vita, I think it will be fine for the holiday season but I don't know how it will do after that as it's already been said I don't think there is a very compelling software lineup that will ignite the charts on fire so far.

Right, expectations were sky high and look what happened. The Japanese by large didn't want a $250 handheld with Ridge Racer, Street Fighter, PES and Musou, despite how insanely popular it's predecessor was.klee123 said:

Rorona is kind of a clunker but the large leaps in polish I see in videos for Totori and especially Meruru is pretty great for a small studio like that. It's really impressive.
I'm a shameless nut for the gather/craft/time management affair, so I'm really glad they're seeing some good success.
