Whoa slooow week. Interesting that FF will become the best selling in the series though. Also interesting that Inazuma is already plummeting - I hope the Anime etc. will spark some life. Afrika is holding up better than I thought, maybe it can even crawl its way to 100k. Certainly not something they imagined when they first tooted its horn but considering how the project came along after the reveal it's not a catastrophe at least.
Even in this slow week RT amazes.
Oh and do we have the sell-through percentage for Blue Dragon? That would be interesting.

After seeing these numbers for both Dragon Quest remakes I wonder what this team will do after DQ6r is released. SQEX would be insane to let this cashcow go, the only question will be if they go back to remaking the first Dargon Quest games or rather go straight to DQ7. There were also hints that there may be a new installment in the DQM series. I think that the DQ francise alone will generate at least 4 new million sellers for NDS. (with 6,9, likely another remake and a new Monster installment)
It will be funny if there will be also a Monster Hunter DS next year if PS0 succedes :lol

I think WRT Layton, both Layton 1 and 2 should get bumps when Layton 3 is released, but I don't think either will hit a million without a budget rerelease to help them move. I just don't think there's enough stock out there to make it to a million and I can't imagine L1 is still in print.

Stumpokapow suggested a software group for million sellers. So I did that, as well as smaller groups for multi-million sellers.
1+ million
2+ million
3+ million
4+ million
5+ million
You'll notice that the images say stuff like "1-PERC-2B million" instead of "1+ million". Looks like an unintentional side-effect of the "forum friendly" URLs that I'll need to fix sooner or later.
Also note that though there's no way to manipulate it directly at the group pages, ordering results by something other than sales from greatest to least is a hidden possibility. Copying the "&orderby=" part of a search result URL will work, but considering the talk has been about how many different systems have, the relevant thing to append to any of the above URLs would be &orderby=Platform
These just have the SKUs that have currently reached these milestones by the data included in the database. So if there are some that would if we combined rereleases, or that are sitting at 980K and have probably passed since we last saw them, they're out of luck.

So Fatal Frame 4 has done better than the others, yes? That's good (for Tecmo and for FF fans like meeeee). How about this Afrika business-- doing better than expected? Kind of want to see it in America, not that it really matters how it does in Japan.

Well we have no way of telling what expectations were, but the initial shipment was 35k and it's about the become the best-selling installment in the series despite seriously recall-worthy glitching issues, so I'd say, yeah, that's good.
Sinobi reported that initial sellthrough was brisk and given that the game isn't getting a Euro release and might not get a US release, I'd say that's a sign Sony had no sales faith in it. So on the whole I'd say it's better than most of us were expecting whether or not it ends up profitable.
Continuing Mistwalker's rich tradition of profitable, publisher-pleasing games :lol :lol

No system over 50k, omg, calling out JJS, when was the last time this happened? On the same day as the LHC thing, must be related
Surprised by Wii getting a 5k bump, going by last week difference between trackers it looks like Famitsu (was way off and) is trying to correct its error. It'll be interesting to see MC numbers for this week.

Yup so once again gaf over-reacts calling both of those a bomb when the 1st week sales came out
This "evergreen" concept is really starting to take hold, slow and steady I guess
WarioLand could pass 100k if it stays in the Top 30 for 2-3 more weeks, and Fatal Frame might even get to 70k before leaving
Go Fire Emblem!!

All weeks where no system is over 50k, and the number sold by the highest system. 2006-02-20 was the last week when that happened.
Data was as follows:
Code:
2006-02-20 DS 39373
2006-02-20 PSP 35865
2006-02-20 PS2 25295
2006-02-20 GBASP 7334
2006-02-20 GBM 4079
2006-02-20 GCN 1508
2006-02-20 X360 10822006-02-06 also had this happen, and was additionally around the 30th worst week of all time. The worst week of all time was 2000-11-20 when, :lol :lol all systems collectively sold only 40k.

Well, I think most were pleasantly surprised at the performance of FFIV actually, given the bug reports and issues other series have had transitioning from PS2 to Wii, but it has been a very pleasant surprise to see it hold on in the charts long enough to (imminently) become the best-performing entry in the series.
WL has shown impressive staying-power, but there's no getting away from the fact that is has not performed as well as previous entries in the series (even the pretty naff Kaizou Wario did better) and it's reasonable to view it as a bit of a disappointment, even if some GAFers overreacted.

I really don't think that's a fair analysis.
Fatal Frame's first week sales were deemed good and in-line with the series by virtually everyone whose posts I bother to read in these threads. The only argument about FF4 being a bomb was that 60k for a console game is a bomb. And that's true by far and large--FF games are clearly not cash cows. However within the accepted expectations for the series, it did well, and GAF recognized that.
WLS is still a bomb. Wario World GCN sold 150k. Wario Master of Disguise sold 300k. Both of those were SUBSTANTIAL falls from Wario Land 4's 500k as well as the cheap-to-produce less-risky 500k+ obtained by every WarioWare (except GCN which did 400k). If WLS was a risk, I don't see how the worst sales in series history could be considered a reward.
That it managed to use legs to avoid cratering and potential climb itself up to GCN-level software sales is not a success.

erm i very highly doubt this. the 360 isn't going to resume sales at 20k+ per week.

blu said:
It will be tracked in NA, but the odds of anyone without an NPD subscription seeing the sales are 0%; it won't make the DS top 10 for any month (a barrier set normally from 40k-80k or so), so even assuming we have a very data-rich month where we deduce all the top 10 figures per console, you still won't see the figures.

Well said, ToV, not a new IP by tri-Ace.
Kagari said:
I'm pretty sure I listed a combination of 4 different things that are happening tomorrow, the biggest of which is price drop, not just IU. And I also didn't say anything about it catching the Wii. I said selling more than the Wii as in for the week.
Let's recap one more time:
1. Official price drop similar to that of the US starting 9/11 in Japan.
2. RE-stocking. It's been sold out since TOV.
3. Infinite Undiscovery
4. Left-over demand for people that couldn't get a 360 for TOV because of low supplies.
These 4 things I believe will cause a bigger increase than TOV did. That's just my opinion, but I don't think it's out of the question that it can do better this week than TOV week.
Jonnyram said:
Sure you could add those together, but not entirely because surely there should have been some people that would have bought the 360, for reasons other than TOV, and couldn't find any.
And who can say how many more people wanted one FOR ToV but ran into supply problems. Those that didn't get one then, could still buy one now at a new low price.
Definitely. The interesting thing is, the sales were increasing weekly up to the release of Tales, thanks to the RPG announcements (and advertising campaign), then Tales came out and it hit the limit, hardware stopped shipping and sales dropped. There must be a lot of leftover momentum from back then, but the question is when those people will return to make their purchase. It would be foolish to think they'll all buy it straight away, but there is a chance, I guess. IU should have plenty of pulling power too. Reviews have been decent in Japan, so I see it selling similar numbers to Eternal Sonata at least.

Stumpa I agree with you about Fatal Frame IV not being a bomb and being recognized as such, BUT, how much sales would WLS have to sustain through extended legs to not be considered such?
1. Do the initial sales of a game (its first month) automatically determine if the game is a bomb?
2. What about games that follow a different model, where the majority of its sales happened AFTER the initial sell out (its first month), or even a game that eventually matches its first month of sales through extended legs, like Wii Sports, Wii Fit, or Mario Kart? Assuming I'm not talking about those megasales games, but a game like WLS, where it eventually may reach its series historical figures (450k?), at what point can we say it was not a bomb after all?

It IS pretty much out of the question though, and while you have outlined your reasoning not a single one of your points is strong enough.
1. The Xbox 360 has had several price drops already, they did very little.
2. Reports have come in about tons of used systems being available, it seems gamers didn't want to hold onto the system after beating TOV.
3. Infinite Undiscovery is a new IP, and not one that's receiving heavy advertising.
4. Read point 2.
