[Jaruru]

Rhythm Tengoku!!! back to #2, very impressive
Band Bros in top 10
DQ V keeps selling. 1.125M already

[Rpgmonkey]

Did DQV beat IV yet?

[Jasoncheng]

Did DQV beat IV yet?

No

DQ4 1200000+

[vareon]

Inazumaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[theultimo]

WOW @ Phantasy Star

Its MHP2 all over again.

[duckroll]

WOW @ Phantasy Star Its MHP2 all over again.

I don't think it's quite there yet. It's going to maybe barely beat Crisis Core at this rate, which would be great, but not quite MHP-level yet, much less MHP2-level.

[Meier]

WOW @ Phantasy Star Its MHP2 all over again.

One might have said that after the first week... it's showing some legs, but it clearly is not going to have the longevity of MHP.

[schuelma]

Did we get shipment numbers on Inazuma Eleven??

That is a very underwhelming number.

[PantherLotus]

WOW @ Phantasy Star Its MHP2 all over again.

It has quite a ways to go man. I think it will probably top out around 700k lifetime.

A few weeks ago:

[BishopLamont]

Inazuma :(

Hope it has long legs.

[Olaeh]

Go IE!!

I'm still amazed at Wii fit's consistent 30k week after week.

[Osuwari]

so, has Mario Kart Wii beaten SSBB already?

also, is MKW close to passing MK64?

[Rpgmonkey]

No DQ4 1200000+

Pretty close at least. :/

Man at Sigma Harmonics...

[sphinx]

I do not understand Wii fit selling that much.

O.k, it's first party with huge marketing campaign... but just that. 2500000+ is too much.

really weird.

It looks a lot less fun than Brain Training which was in itself the oddest ball of all japanese DS million sellers.

[jman2050]

It appeals to the masses.

[vareon]

I'm surprised Crisis Core didn't reach 1 million in Japan.

Also Sigma Harmonics got beaten by HaruToki was unforgivable >:I

I believe you misunderstand why these games are selling the way they are selling.

Not that they are not fun, but that's not the main reason the consumers are buying them like crazy.

[PantherLotus]

so, has Mario Kart Wii beaten Wii Fit already?

;)

No. Not even close, yet. Regarding your other question, I may do a MK chart this week. That might be fun.

Last Week's:






Any other software chart requests that would be relevant this week? Does anybody care about the Winning Eleven series?

[Tenbatsu]

DSL　57000
PSP　46000
Wii　29000
PS3　8300
PS2　7800
360　3800

[schuelma]

Huh? If you go by Famitsu, it should overtake SSBB this week or next.

[sphinx]

you mean people buy Brain training to be less stupid and Wii fit to burn fat?

I don't think those reasons are more important than "having fun" in the minds of casuals.

[PantherLotus]

:o

i thought he said wii fit.

[jman2050]

[Pachael]

Yeah, Phantasy Star Portable will probably inch towards 700k lifetime, which is still pretty good for Sega considering that its past titles on the PSP haven't done well at all.

[icecream]

...I'm hoping it's just because Memories Off 6 only got four days of the week to do sales that it did as low as it did.

Otherwise I don't think we're going to see another MO :(

[Regulus Tera]

you mean people buy Brain training to be less stupid and Wii fit to burn fat? I don't think those reasons are more important than "having fun" in the minds of casuals.

As someone who bought both Wii Fit and Big Brain Academy, I disagree. :/

These games are selling because they fulfill a job almost no other games in the market try to tackle, which is improving one's life. Whether they succeed or not is irrelevant, since it's the perception of what they do what makes them sell.

[Fafalada]

I don't think it's quite there yet. It's going to maybe barely beat Crisis Core at this rate, which would be great, but not quite MHP-level yet

That would be better then MHP then - last I checked MHP didn't break 700k until it got budget re-releases.

[king zell]

3. [NDS] Inazuma Eleven (Level 5) (41,000) / NEW

why !! is it because the release date (being later than the other new games) ? or lack of hype ?

[Nocebo]

you mean people buy Brain training to be less stupid and Wii fit to burn fat? I don't think those reasons are more important than "having fun" in the minds of casuals.

I don't think you understand the minds of casuals as you don't understand why wiifit is selling so much. Actually it is obvious you don't understand their minds.

[Regulus Tera]

DSL　57000 PSP　46000 Wii　29000 PS3　8300 PS2　7800 360　3800

Are those Famitsu numbers?

I really love how Rhythm Tengoku Gold and other games have pushed the DSL back on top.

[Farnack]

1. [PS2]

PS2 am alive.

[Busaiku]

I'm surprised Crisis Core didn't reach 1 million in Japan. Also Sigma Harmonics got beaten by HaruToki was unforgivable >:I

But lots of girls own DSes.

[sprsk]

Lack of hype methinks. I have a feeling advertising is low key until the anime starts.

[cvxfreak]

I don't think it's quite there yet. It's going to maybe barely beat Crisis Core at this rate, which would be great, but not quite MHP-level yet, much less MHP2-level.

Seems akin to the first MHP I say. Maybe a re-release will push it over a million. :)

[jibblypop]

Great Rhythm Tengoku sales... bring this game to North America!! I want to try it so bad!

[Regulus Tera]

17. Wario Land: Shake It

Wario is hanging there! Yes!

[Olaeh]

30. GC Mario Superstar Baseball

wtf? the GCN game?

[Aaron Strife]

17. Wii Wario Land: Shake It

30. GC Mario Superstar Baseball

...O_o

[cvxfreak]

wtf? the GCN game?

Yeah, that's weird... even the release info matches the GC game.

[Olaeh]

Perhaps the Wii version spurred sales? That doesn't seem right though, for it to chart higher than the Wii game. Was there a bonus for having the GCN game save data for the Wii game?

[Aaron Strife]

Lower price maybe? I remember Professor Layton got a sales boost when the sequel came out, although it didn't overtake it.

[Segata Sanshiro]

More like... more like Inazuma Eleven Copies Sold, right, right?

I'm here all week, folks.

[shidoshi]

I really love how Rhythm Tengoku Gold and other games have pushed the DSL back on top.

But according to some on here, the DS is on its last legs, and Nintendo needs to hurry up and replace it.

Great Rhythm Tengoku sales... bring this game to North America!! I want to try it so bad!

Get the import version, since the US version will no doubt be different in a number of ways.

[PantherLotus]

Well segata I thought it was funny but I don't want to be the only one laughing y'know?

[BishopLamont]

57k on one of the slowest weeks for the DS. Crazy.

More like... more like Inazuma Eleven Copies Sold, right, right? I'm here all week, folks.

:(

[davepoobond]

lol a gamecube game made the charts.

that must have been like 300 sales. what a low week.

[schuelma]

DSL　57000 PSP　46000 Wii　29000 PS3　8300 PS2　7800 360　3800

What is this- Famitsu numbers?

[zoku88]

I'm sure Inazuma 11 deserves 100K+ sales first week! >:(
