Lost Planet 2, UFC Undisputed 2010, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Wii Sports Resort and Just Dance will also make an appearance.Cant0na said:
To be honest, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Alan Wake miss the Top 10 next month.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
MH Tri better of sold over 100k.
Hiltz said:
Definitely not. Alan Wake, SMG2, Blur x2 Split secondx2 and RDRx2 are going to be competing to chart. Fat chance in hell.
Apparently SSFIV PS3 did 140k, so MH3 is under 140k for the month.
People have had 4 chances to buy MH3, I'm not sure why people were so sure that advertising would switch around the lack of popularity that it had in the west. I would think that Demon's Souls and Heavy Rain charting with no advertising in America would have proven how useless it is. Look at how much EA spent on Dante's Inferno Super Bowl ad and how it didn't do anything for the game (Game has only sold 1 mil to retail across all territories apparently). People set themselves up for this disappointment.

Because it sold 65k less that the same month last year? because it's selling less and less every month?
It's obviously the PSP needs something, and software isn't what it needs....
PSP hardware sales are shitty, PSP software sales are shitty.Sony needs to change the strategy, needs a new handheld that could compete with DS and iPhone, who seems the main reason why PSP is losing a lot of the slice of the pie.

I don't think Alan Wake will make the Top 5. Mario x 2, Pokemon x 2 and Red Dead for the Top 5 most likely.

Why are we calling for the demise of the PSP again? To me, the thing just keeps on trucking. It gets little to no advertisement, there's barely any games released for it now (seriously, this year we have, what, LittleBigPlanet and....?), and yet here it is selling 65k somehow.
Freakin' miracle if you ask me.

I'd say those numbers are pretty darn solid actually... especially given SSF4's lack of presence on the Top 20 Xbox LIVE charts.Giolon said:

What's the rush?
3DS isn't out yet, Sony still has tons of PSPs available for sale; why kill the hardware? Just to kill it?

NPD Guy: "Hey, we have a problem where people treat zgchartz as a legitimate source because we don't provide almost any numbers."
Other NPD Guy: "Let's chop out the numbers for 6-10. That'll show them!"

NPD only reports numbers on the top 5 now? Fuck that noise!

Don't get me wrong, I think LP2's a piece of crap. But it's getting solid advertising, has the Gears tie-in and the entire month of May to move product. X360 SKU will get some sales love. It's not Bionic Commando.Jtyettis said:

Because the last thing Sony needs is get late to the party, if not a new hardware at least an appropaite revision that change significatly the actual PSP...

Since the original sold FAR better in its debut month.
Capcom still thinks its 1994 and people are dying to get milked.
B-Rad Lascelle said:
Eh, I still think it's going to crap out and I loved the first one. Just too much to compete with this month. It might hit the top 10, but I still kind of doubt it.
charlequin said:
Weird move is weird. I can understand holding the numbers but not the other part.
B-Rad Lascelle said:
lost planet wont be in the top 5. that demo was terrible and turned alot of people off + terrible reviews
didnt know ufc was next month, that'll definitely be there. and Alanwake is not doing less than 100k dude. :lol it might not be the top game of the month but its top 3, or top 5 worst case scenario

Puh-lease.
Wii fanboys have been absolutely deafening in their assertion that the key to third party hardcore game success on the Wii was to release mainline titles with big development budgets and blanket advertising.
Every single third party game that's bombed has been supposedly due to "retarded publishers that don't understand the market releasing half-assed, insulting games with no marketing".
MHTri's performance would suggest that perhaps the situation is far more hopeless than they'd dare admit.

That's still no excuse to kill the PSP.
The PS3's 4 years old, and the PS2's still going. The only entity that thinks its dead is NPD apparently.

It's a shooter available on 360 with decent marketing. Unless the bad word of mouth spreads rapidly, it has a month to make the top 10. The odds of it making the top 10 are pretty good.

Or Monster Hunter is a game with very very limited appeal to Western audiences. There is a reason Capcom's initial expectations were to ship 500K outside Japan*
*Again, we should wait for numbers before discussing this. It could have done 125K for all we know which would be pretty good given the history of the series.
