They look plausible. A first week of 25k or so for Zangeki (quite likely on those first day numbers) is what a few people have suggested, and a first shipment of 20k for Madworld is entirely believable.

Random comparison update. With the past month added into Garaph, I wondered if Mario Kart Wii (2854) had yet fallen behind Mario Kart DS (214). However, it seems the holiday bump has pushed that back. As of the latest included numbers Wii is 90K ahead of DS at the same age, up from the 33K ahead it was a month before. However, with holiday bump over it's back to losing ground at a few thousand a week. So now I'd say MK Wii has a couple more months of safe lead, before MK DS reaches its own 2007 holiday bump.

I can't be the only one that giggles anytime I'm shown a graph of MKDS sales over time.

I think "shine" might be the wrong word to use, especially for Mad World. I do think the Reginleiv number if true is a somewhat respectable start and if it behaves like many 1st party games it could wind up with a respectable LTD in the end.
Sacred 2 did much better than I expected. I wasn't even aware that it is still coming to Japan, I played it in 2008. Deserved though -- if the game on consoles is even close in quality to the PC version. The relative success is maybe also partly because the aesthetics of the game, particularly in terms of character models, are actually closer to JRPGs and quite unlike most WRPGs.
Madworld at 5k is really "better than expected"?

We are talking about the PSP Go, on its own -- not judging Sony's overall PSP strategy, but specifically discussing the PSP Go and why it is ten pounds of fail in a five-pound failsack.
You brought up the question of why people who complained about the UMD didn't love the Go, and I explained it. A new PSP customer has two options now: they can buy a 3000, and have the option of "buses" or "taxis" for every game they buy -- or they can buy a Go, spend more money, and be locked into "taxis" only. As a result, for someone who complained about the UMD, the Go does not offer any benefit -- it removes the UMD but does not add anything (related to buying games) that is not already available on the PSP-3000 which has literally 100% of the online DD functionality of the Go.
When people complained about the UMD, what they wanted was some combination of methods to reduce its drawbacks (which Sony has done to a small degree, but which CFW was much more successful at) and/or for the next full Sony portable platform to replace it with a less crappy physical medium (which we don't know about yet), or maybe even for Sony to give them a DD-only PSP at a significant price break to make up for the loss of functionality (lolz).
Here's another analogy. Lots of people have complained about the voice chat on PS3 because it doesn't work between different games. If Sony released a new optional firmware update that could remove voice-chat altogether, would you ask why people were complaining that the voice chat they didn't like had been made removable?
Nope. I only hope platforms succeed when they are succeeding on the back of good, pro-consumer business decisions, because otherwise their success will encourage bad choices on the part of the hardware manufacturers.

What "damaged" the Star Ocean series was the fact that word of mouth on the game was toxic, coming off of a previous entry that had already damaged the credibility of the series. Tales seems to have recovered just fine from its brief flirtation with Xbox exclusivity.

I think this is a really important point. I prefer to buy my games via DD, but I already have a PSP 3000 and a few UMDs. Sony has given me no reason at all to buy a new, more expensive PSP. In fact, they've given me a reason not to, since there's no way to play my UMD games on it.
In addition, while I prefer DD games, I still buy the occasional UMD. If it's the same price, and the DD doesn't give me the
One of the reasons Apple has been so successful with the ipod is that they keep giving existing owners reasons to upgrade, and they don't give them reasons to stand pat. Sony hasn't been able to figure that out.

Wouldn't this make it one of their best Western localization openings?
If it is, I wonder if their marketing is actually getting better (since both Madworld and Sacred 2 seem to be doing better than expected) or if there's just more people interested in the types of titles they publish now.

Oblivion did 45K on 360, and Colin McRae Rally did 38K on PS1 from a brief look at Spike game openings. I'm guessing which are Western localizations, though. Their biggest debut (in my database) is Way of the Samurai 2 at 114K on PS2.

If those numbers are right, Sacred 2 did really well on the 360 for some reason.
Even though New Super Mario Bros. Wii has fallen one slot to #4, I had to wonder how long it will stay in the Top 10. Its total sales in Japan is around 3.3 million and if it stays in the Top 10 list longer it will eventually reach 4 million and replace Super Mario Land.
Tomodachi Collection not yet falling out of the Top 10 is quite remarkable for a game that was released last July. How long has it been there? Seven months?
And behold how the mighty has fallen! Final Fantasy XIII is falling like a rock and soon out of the Top 50. It is unlikely it will reach three million copies very soon.
