It has to be over 9000.

 

[mclem]

It has to be over 9000.

If the drop rate is consistent with the past few weeks, it won't be. But then, it's got to level off at some point...

 

[Celine]

It has to be over 9000.

*I see what you did there*

 

[frostbyte]

so around when will get week 10 numbers?

 

[The Emperor]

In around an hour and a half for Famitsu.

4 more hours for media create.

 

[bigtroyjon]

Does Japan do daylight savings time and if they do is it on the same schedule as the US? I'm guessing no, so that means it's an hour later this week for those of us in the US?

 

[Erethian]

Japan doesn't observe DST, so it's 45 minutes until the Famitsu top 10 is put up and then 2 hours after that Media Create goes up on 4Gamer.

 

[Kenka]

In around an hour and a half for Famitsu.

4 more hours for media create.

If I don't get wrong, it's half an hour for Famitsu, three hours and a half for MC.

Basically.

It will be interesting to see Musou and Theatrhythm's hold this week. I wonder if Musou can pull a wonder and stay above of Project Miraj and Gundamu.

 

[Rock_Man]

It did.

 

[slaughterking]

OP Musou is still on top, Miku is second and Snake Eater 3D is on 5.

Wow.

That's worth attention.

Can't access the link for some reason.

Eh, I fear Hatsune Miku did poorly, since it's second to One Piece, which should have had a big fall compared to last week, IMHO. Let's see what happens, then.

The chart, from 5th to 10th, reminds me of the old DS 2007 times :lol

 

[Kenka]

Harvest Moon down to 10k-ish figures. Gundam not so hot, to say the least.

 

[Gianni Merryman]

Can't access the link for some reason.

You just have to copy and paste the web address IIRC, for some reason those Famitsu links don't work if you just click on them.

 

[Ragus]

MGS ranked 5th? I'm suprised.

 

[cw_sasuke]

7 3DS titles in the top 10 - not bad.
I wonder how much OP and Miku sold.

 

[jett]

Bomb eater

Seems the MGS fanbase isn't on the 3DS.

 

[BassForever]

Bomb eater

Seems the MGS fanbase isn't on the 3DS.

Considering people here thought it wouldn't even chart I don't think you can call it a bomb.

 

[Erethian]

If Miku is somewhere around 90-100k that'd be a decent result, since the first Project Diva did 101k.

From there it'd have to show good legs.

Edit: As for Snake Eater 3D, the HD collection did 58,864 and there's no way it was ever going to get anywhere close to those sorts of sales.

 

[Luigiv]

Exact opposite of my reaction. How did this game get 5th?

 

[cw_sasuke]

Bomb eater

I dont think thats the reason at all ;-)

 

[slaughterking]

Looks like Snake Eater did around ~20k which is actually pretty solid for what it is. That's 1/3 of what the HD Collection did. Not that this game has any right right to do well...

 

[D_prOdigy]

Exact opposite of my reaction. How did this game get 5th?

If the Holy Trinity is keeping its figure trend, we must be looking at about 20k for MGS. Which would boringly be neither a laughable bomb nor a pleasant surprise.

 

[jonno394]

Seems the MGS fanbase isn't on the 3DS.

Well the MGS fanbase probably bought the HD versions for cheaper like everyone else has done worldwide......

edit - I wonder if RE:R and Theatrhythm are in the top 20??

 

[Kazerei]

OP Musou is still on top, Miku is second and Snake Eater 3D is on 5.

http://www.famitsu.com/news/201203/14011534.html

Hmm. I'm guessing One Piece Musou is under 100k, while the trinity is holding at just above 15k. Maybe. So disappointment for Hatsune Miku, possibly for SF X Tekken and Snake Eater 3D too.

 

[BassForever]

Harvest Moon is at the bottom of the trinity, wonder if next week it'll drop off or if it'll continue to float with the trinity as a game with legs.

 

[Aostia]

Bomb eater

Seems the MGS fanbase isn't on the 3DS.

it could even be better than excpected from many gaffers in the past weeks

 

[slaughterking]

Girls RPG probably didn't even crack 10k or did just barely.

 

[Chris1964]

Famitsu says Hatsune Miku is a close second, 1 and 2 must be at 100k range.

 

[Dragon]

Considering people here thought it wouldn't even chart I don't think you can call it a bomb.

I don't see any numbers for it. It could still be a 'bomba' depending on expectations versus reality.

 

[Kazerei]

Girls RPG probably didn't even crack 10k or did just barely.

I forgot about that game lol. Level-5 am cry.

 

[jonno394]

Girls RPG probably didn't even crack 10k or did just barely.

Theoretically the most it could've done is around 15k seeing as the trinity is usually around 15-20k and i'm expecting Harvest Moon did somewhere in this region too.

 

[Aostia]

Famitsu says Hatsune Miku is a close second, 1 and 2 must be at 100k range.

Well, this should be a very positive result for both games, in my opinion.

Harvest Moon is at the bottom of the trinity, wonder if next week it'll drop off or if it'll continue to float with the trinity as a game with legs.

Well, I think that the "trinity" is the trinity for one reason. I saw a lot of people hoping for similar legs for Revelation, and now for HM. Honestly, I think that people are misjudging the "importance" of the different brands.

 

[Erethian]

I forgot about that game lol. Level-5 am cry.

Duckroll's crying too.

Tears of joy.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

I don't know why people think that 10k is good but bellow is horrible, I think that anything bellow 15k is very bad :/

That's because you're an android, and recognize that as falling below the psychological barrier of binary 100000000000000.

 

[BassForever]

Well, I think that the "trinity" is the trinity for one reason. I saw a lot of people hoping for similar legs for Revelation, and now for HM. Honestly, I think that people are misjudging the "importance" of the different brands.

Eventually another title will pop up to either join the Trinity or kick one of them off

 

[jonno394]

Eventually another title will pop up to either join the Trinity or kick one of them off

2D Mario or Monster Hunter 4 are the most likely.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Apparently One Piece and Miku are very close to each other. One Piece sold out last week and demand is still high, I can see both selling 100k+. We will see!

EDIT: What Chris said.

 

[frankie_baby]

2D Mario or Monster Hunter 4 are the most likely.

Perhaps sooner than that, maybe oni training or animal crossing

 

[jonno394]

Perhaps sooner than that, maybe oni training or animal crossing

I'm hoping it's Kid Icarus to be honest. Animal Crossing probably won't be out till end of 2012/2013 unfortunately

 

[BishopLamont]

Hardware sales should be hot this week.

 

[frankie_baby]

I'm hoping it's Kid Icarus to be honest. Animal Crossing probably won't be out till end of 2012/2013 unfortunately

If the word of mouth is truely brilliant it'll have a shot at it we shall see in the next few weeks
I'd expect animal crossing sooner maybe september

 

[BassForever]

Hardware sales should be hot this week.

It'll spark a hot debate if/when Vita is sub 10k that's for sure

 

[frankie_baby]

Hardware sales should be hot this week.

For 3ds and possibly the ps3 (it'll drop but we'll see how much), everyting else not so hot

 

[Gianni Merryman]

2D Mario or Monster Hunter 4 are the most likely.

Those two games do not have a release date yet, instead in the near future some games with a good sales potential are coming out: Kid Icarus(that may exceed expectations), Animal crossing, Kingdom hearts 3D, Dragon quest monsters, Tomodatchi collection.

 

[grimshawish]

Hardware sales should be hot this week.

Is there a specific reason for us to expect this?

Also on MGS its still crap sales, and money/time would have been better spent on something that would sell more. But its better than expected - which is a good sign for the 3DS generally.

Those two games do not have a release date yet, instead in the near future some games with a good sales potential are coming out: Kid Icarus(that may exceed expectations), Animal crossing, Kingdom hearts 3D, Dragon quest monsters, Tomodatchi collection.

Maybe am naive, but everything about Icarus makes me think its going to very very big.

 

[John Dunbar]

i was wrong last week, but this week i have a good feeling that vita will pull up a bit, maybe topping 11k.
