It's getting enough now to lift it up and separate it from the pack.

It was not.test_account said:Wasnt Dark Souls released for Xbox 360 in Japan?
When would it end? Early 2012?Vinnk said:I'm worried that after this initial push up, the sales will sag again.
C_H_T said:Dark Souls is PS3-exclusive in Japan.
Ah ok, i didnt know that. Thanks for the infoRoad said:It was not.
Beaten...
Vinnk said:I would hate to make you melt...
But yes. I'm thinking of reviving it.
The kid is finally old enough to let me have some free time (when she's sleeping). I am slowly getting back into things. Went to TGS this year. Making some new gaming videos. Vinnk's Village is the next step. I just have to remember how I did it...
Sorry to derail the topics at hand: "BE vs AE" and "Should the MC thread titles be more Wacky?" but here is my report for this week:
"Vinnk's Village" Anecdotal Report
My system is getting pretty good but it still takes a long time to visit all these stores, I was unable to get to Yamada Denki this week. It is the farthest from my house and I had to teach a night class last evening.
This week I was asked to look for: Wii, DS lite, FF12:RW, One Piece, Big Brain Academy, Super Paper Mario, Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War, and Ouendan 2. I went Thursday May 17th, 2007:

Yamada Denki
N/A
TOTALS:
Wii: Sold out
DS Lite: 3
FF12: RW 35
FFT: LW 22
One Piece: 29
Ouendan 2: 3
NOTES:
1. For the second week in a row, there is not a single Wii system to be found in my town (unless Yamada Denki had some).
2. DS lite is still hard to find, but can still be found with a bit of searching.
3. One Piece is not supply constrained. It is found at every store in great numbers. The first shipment may have sold out but the second shipment has met or surpassed demand.
4. I was counting BBA and SPM at the first few stores but then it became obvious to me that neither title is supply constrained in the least. They are both selling well and it seems Nintendo anticipated that well, as they are both plentiful.
5. FF12: RW is not supply constrained and has never been supply constrained. And now that used copies are appearing at most stores I will make the prediction that it never will be supply constrained. However it is still selling at a respectable rate.
6. FFT: LW was available in every store except the porn shop.
7. Ouendan might be supply constrained, or it might be like the first Ouendan game, where some stores just never ordered any to begin with.
8. The shops are starting to realize that I am coming in every week on the same day. At one shop the owner met me at the door and said Sorry, sir, we dont have any Wii today. I wonder if he thinks I am still looking to buy one and have just been unsuccessful for the last few months.
9. Sad news, Old Reliable (The PS3 at Famicom Dojo) was sold yesterday. A long time customer of Hiros came in and bought it along with the two Gundam games. Now there is just a big empty space on the store shelf, and a big empty space in my heart.
Kenka said:Yay also for Pervert Strip Fight.
Saiyar said:So all it needed was a handfull of titties.
FINALFANTASYDOG said:If I could change one thing with Sales age is that it seems to mainly focus on the top 5 or things that people from the west would find odd, instead of interesting sub-trends / niches in sales.
Subjects like
- Why has Bandai Namco become the no.1 third party publisher, discussion of their sales strategy?
-The surprising stabilization and growth of Otome game sales?
-The power of the anime effect when does it work, when doesn't it?
-Is there an suspense adventure game revival or is the stien's gate's effect due to the anime?(Dunamis's sales suggest the later)
-What is the breaking point for Musou game seemingly coming out every 2 weeks, yet still selling well.. etc etc
-Even topics like things that are popular on Nico Nico/the web world how does that transcribe to actual sales etc
The pricedrop also probably helped quite a bit. I wonder how the 3DS would have sold if it didnt get the pricedrop, but still got all these games. Unfortunately we will never know it, but i'm still curious about it. But great reat 3DS sales regardless thoughSaiyar said:So all it needed was a handfull of titles.
Mpl90 said:Do you remember now?
Vinnk said:Woah. Nostalgia.
Yeah, I could do that again. Maybe with fewer stores though. Not as much free time these days.
[Freebie: Wii is no longer supply contrained]

Pink will be released in October, so for at least one week it won'tDid not expect that 3DS bump at all. It'll probably fall into the 40-55K range during October due to the software drought, but none of that will matter come November.

I think we all said it in the day we knew the 3DS existed; 3D boobs > everything.Mrbob said:Who knew Pervert Strip Fight was the true killer app 3DS needed?!?! Remember this day in history, people!
Wow at Dark Souls. How much does the game fall off next week? Even so, those are huge week 1 sales.

vareon said:I'm really interested in the bolded subject. What made you think so?
That settles it. Investors WANT 3DS to die. There's no denying it anymore. It's not even hyperbole.marc^o^ said:Meanwhile, Nintendo lost 6% at the stock market today.
It would have to outsell the iPhone.Kenka said:What 3DS linked event could possibly make the stock market rocket ? I guess high sales around the world of course but what other news could inflect it ? More functionalities or price drop in games ? Is there any future event that may be very likely and would adjust the stock market direction sky ?
something that Nintendo doesn't expect. Short term investors are interested in fast profit, but Nintendo themselves predicted low profits for this fiscal year, so unless something happens that exceeds their expectations, this probably won't change.What 3DS linked event could possibly make the stock market rocket ? I guess high sales around the world of course but what other news could inflect it ? More functionalities or price drop in games ? Is there any future event that may be very likely and would adjust the stock market direction sky ?
Because 3DS sells well. There is slimmer chance that Nintendo goes 3rd party and releases a pokemon iOS.marc^o^ said:Meanwhile, Nintendo lost 6% at the stock market today.

Jackano said:A futur event? We just had the 3DS conference. Next is January and/or the GDC for Wii U.
Meanwhile, good 3DS/DS/Wii (there is still Skyward Sword to drive it) during holiday season will take care of the stock value.
Ah, of course. They're jumping ship because they think iPhone 5 will be the nail in the the 3DS's coffin.east of eastside said:6% drop is in response to iphone 5 announcement date not 3DS sales.
It isn't. It also isn't relevant to any announcement targeted at gamers, as proven by the the stock dropping the day of the 3DS conference, but before any announcements happened.enishi said:Because 3DS sells well. There is slimmer chance that Nintendo goes 3rd party and releases a pokemon iOS.
But given the worldwide collapse in stock market, stock price might not be too relevant to any real sales performance at the moment...
