what about making it more restrictive and bounding both ends (i.e. between 100 and 200k first weeks)?

Doesn't take much change to the query, but let's see about the results...Clever Pun said:
Games available for 3-4 days their first week, which sold 100-200K that first week, and which have a known week two total: 198
Average first week for these games: 139,196
Average second week LTD for these games: 182,907
Average improvement from week one to week two: 31.4%
Games available for 1-2 days their first week, which sold 100-200K that first week, and which have a known week two total: 7
Average first week for these games: 153,264
Average second week LTD for these games: 212,600
Average improvement from week one to week two: 38.7%
Interesting to note that of those 7 games, 1 was a PS2 launch game, and 3 were Wii launch games. I'll give the next 100K lot a go, though there are endless possibilities:
Games available for 3-4 days their first week, which sold 200-300K that first week, and which have a known week two total: 56
Average first week for these games: 236,646
Average second week LTD for these games: 314,490
Average improvement from week one to week two: 32.9%
Games available for 1-2 days their first week, which sold 200-300K that first week, and which have a known week two total: 6
Average first week for these games: 256,520
Average second week LTD for these games: 367,713
Average improvement from week one to week two: 43.4%
It does seem like that upper bound is making a difference; the percentage changes are greater this way. However, that might be something that's more the case with these "smaller" launches. Without trying out a bunch of ranges it's hard to get the big picture.

That would also put it near or over the top as the best 3rd party Wii game in history (I think Taiko has that now with 550-570k) after 48 hours :lol
Hopefully Capcom learned, they lost imho quite a few sales running out of the CC Bundle (since the CC is required to play MHG) early on
If only we had breakdowns, there were 3 SKU's right (CC Pro, Standalone, and Wii Hardware) and then the CC Pro were broken down into Black and White, not to mention all the special SKU's Capcom themselves sold (E-Capcom, and a few others)
I think they've got ample stock of the controller bundles this time. But I think it's a good point brought up -- there hasn't seemed to be all that much interest in the standalone MH3.
Makes me wonder if Nintendo, if they don't want to drop the price of the Wii, should start making the CC Pro a standard inclusion with the system at some point in the future.

But the draw is to the bundles, if there has just been a MH3 that used the CC that would be one thing.
Almost everyone I know wanted either the Wii Bundle or the CC Pro Bundle, even though I bought the MHG CC Bundle (and own 2 CC's already) I still want the MH3 Black CC Bundle.
Not sure how much that will hurt overall sales, you are right it is not like the MHG debacle where the CC was required and so nobody was buying the standalone.

Hmm. I wonder how fast they'd be able to replenish the bundle stock?

Just 1st day / 1st week, no LTD because it seems pointless since I don't think we'll remember any of this whenever we get some LTDs on the titles
Code:
Title 1st Day 1st Week
[PS2] SD Gundam G Generation Wars 140k 195k
[PSP] Tales of VS 110k 170k
[360] MagnaCarta II 60k 80k
[PS2] Kamen Rider: Climax Heroes 40k 60k
[NDS] Irodzuki Tingle no Koi no Balloon Trip 20k 50k
[PS2] J-League Winning Eleven 2009 20k 40k
[NDS] Blood of Bahamut 20k 30k
[WII] SD Gundam G Generation Wars 20k 30kguess we really aren't getting MH3 sales numbers today, didn't we get even MHG Wii early? maybe the sales aren't noteworthy either way (not really high, and not la bomba)...
sorry, I haven't really paid much attention to that Gundam game, but why such a skew between the PS2 and Wii
?

It's what you spoiler tagged. Personally, I'm hopeful that Monster Hunter 3 will bring in more PS2 traditional gamers that would make the split between PS2:Wii something a little less lopsided than 195:30.

I don't think a U.S. date has been set yet, either.
idlewild_ said:
Like I said earlier in the thread, because of the Saturday release we probably won't get 1st day numbers- we'll get the numbers for the week. We should get them before Wednesday since its (presumably) such a big release.
Famitsu: DSi tops 3 million, DS tops 27 million
As of August 2, DSi sales were 3,062,920 units.
http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/1226433_1124.html
As of July 19, DSi sales were 2,908,736 units
For the week of July 20 - July 26, according to the famitsu leak DSi sales were 81,000 units
So, for the week of July 27 - August 2 DSi has sold about 71,000 units

So I was browsing SCEJ extremely big release list and noticed that Gran Turismo Portable has a definite date, and its not the same as the PSP Go. Unless I got it wrong, it was supposed to be launching at the same date, wasn't it?
http://www.jp.playstation.com/scej/title/list/list_pre.html
PSP Go launches October 1st along side Minna no Sukkiri (2980Y UMD, 2380Y DD), so really cheap.
Gran Turismo Portable comes a week after that, October 8th, at 5480Y on UMD and 4400Y for the digital download.
SCEJ ambitious release plans also has Bleach Soul Carnival 2 on PSP and a grand total of 4 titles for PS3, with only one dated, Uncharted 2 on October 15th at 5980Y (same price as the original).

Oops, I thought it was news. Still good I think for SMT and GT to miss 10/1.jj984jj said:Yeah it's been set for a while now. Poor SMT: Strange Journey.
10/1 currently has PSP Go, Minna no Sukkiri, Wii Fit Plus, Inazuma Eleven 2, Musou MultiRaid Special, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Blue Dragon DS....
I've marked 8/6, 9/17 and 10/1 in my calendar so far. Great sales stuff :lol
That's not really what I'm implying, no. It was more of a joke but GTcw_sasuke said:
should still be #1 by a fair margin. I never would've noticed if I wasn't looking for it a month ago, it's sort of weird how they set it so stealthy.Kurosaki Ichigo said:

Oh, my bad. Its Oct 1st in Europe, NA and Asian countries, but not in Japan :/swerve said:
Damn, disregard anything else I said then, Nov 1st for PSP Go alongside nothing right now.
We don't really know anything about November yet. Samurai Musou 3 is probably the biggest title slated for November and we still haven't seen any media on it. :lol
There's minor titles like Battle Spirits and Summon Night X from Bandai-Namco and Hexyz Force from Atlus/Sting as well, but I don't doubt that November is still pretty up in the air right now, especially for DS and PSP.

I'm pretty confident that New Super Mario Bros. will be released in late November, and if I remember correctly Winning Eleven is coming out in November as well. Other than that it looks like developers are trying to pack everything into December.

Ninokuni is supposed to come out in December... but it doesn't have a solid release date... and you're right, pretty much no games have solid release dates. That seems weird, normally we would know what the holiday schedule looks like a little better by now.
onken said:
The numbers will come out tomorrow, as usual. If people expect that, then they won't be disappointed when this thread is bumped without numbers. Besides, whenever the numbers for MH3 are posted, I'm sure there'll be a separate thread made to "wow"/:lol at them (and probably both).

I'm gonna predict sales of 700k for FW. I have a good feeling about the lineups.

It was reported that Monster Hunter 3's first shipment was over 1 million copies, correct? Does anyone know how much "over" is? Is it something like 1,000,001 copies (i doubt that, but hey, it is still over 1 million hehe ) or something like 1.1 million copies or something?

I'm guessing something like 50K or 100K over a million, but nothing concrete was ever disclosed.

Ok, pity that the shipment number werent more accurate :\ But i would guess that Capcom would at least have been a bit more specific about the shipment numbers if they shipped quite many copies over 1 million copies. So i would also guess something like 50K or 100K copies over 1 million copies myselfschuelma said:
boiled goose
good with gravy
do people just want the black CC pro or do they really lack a classic controller?
Most ppl I know have at least one CC.

How was the sale split between the MHG bundle and the standalone version?markatisu said:
Unfortunately i dont know the answer to your question, but regarding the black CC pro, is this being sold seperately as well, or is it only available in the Monster Hunter 3 bundle? Or does the MH3 hardware bundle also include a black colored CC pro?amtentori said:
test_account said:
If I remember correctly the initial shipment of of MHG was 120k for Bundles and 90k for standalone. It sold close to 100% (3/4 I think Day 1) of the bundles and 2/3 of the standalones.
The CC Pro is sold separately as well as inside a MH3 bundle (just as MHG had a CC Bundle)

AFAIK, this is the breakdown:
- Monster Hunter Tri + Wii hardware bundle (includes console, game, Wii remote/nunchuk and CC Pro, all in black)
- Monster Hunter Tri + CC Pro bundle (black)
- Monster Hunter Tri + CC Pro bundle (white)
- Monster Hunter Tri
The CC Pro is also available in black or white as a standalone, so if the bundles are sold out then you can make up your own bundle.
It seems like Nintendo and Capcom have gone all out to make sure that if you want the game and CC Pro you'll be able to get it in one of several configurations, hopefully avoiding the problem they had with MHG Wii.

Ok, thanks for the infomarkatisu said:
It seems that the CC bundle of MHG Wii sold the most, but 90k sold of the standalone version isnt really that bad, is it? markatisu said:
Ok, nice to hear that the CC Pro is for sale seperately as wellCosmonaut X said:
And i think it is cool to see that Monster Hunter 3 got good support when it comes to bundles, since i like bundles. I would prefer the Monster Hunter 3 bundle with the CC Pro controller because of the "special" box instead of buying a standalone copy of MH3 and then a separate CC Pro controller though, since that special box is cooler to own for collection purposes, at least in my opinion Thanks for the info to the both of you! I saw in the "Monster Hunter 3 lines" (or something like that) thread here on NeoGAF that one guy had a small and separate Monster Hunter 3 box. Is is the box that contains the statue? And what this Game, CD, Concert DVD, and statue something that were included seperately, or was all of this stuff inside one Special (or Limited) Edition box?markatisu said:
