[eatyobeans]

How high is Rhythm Tengoku going to go before its crazy legs start slowing?

And when will Nintendo release this game in the west?

[Rpgmonkey]

The reaction to ES 360 probably really hurt ES PS3, huh.

Pokemon got there fast.

[zoku88]

WTH at the pokemon pic

[phez]

Requesting ES numbers for the 360 for comparison :p

ES bomba.

23. [NDS] Taiko Drum Master 2: The Seven Island Adventure (Namco Bandai)

is anyone else surprised by this in the least? It's been up there for awhile and is hanging with Animal Crossing and NSMBros.~

Can't wait to try it out ^^

[Slurmer]

I think it is somewhat important to note that ES reportedly shipped less than 50k units.

[sankao]

I hope ES does well on the PS3 and heralds an era of abundant multiplatform HD JRPG. I just wish there was an engine on the market to build them quickly and efficiently (kind of like the infinity engine for CRPG back in the day), because UE3 doesn't seem to cut it.

[gtj1092]

This is GAF there will be hyperbole, outlandish statements and sadly gloating. Because we all expected a fully priced year old port of a bomb would somehow not bomb.

[Ike]

I thought Dragonball DS would do much better.

[Firestorm]

So first week Trusty Bell was better on 360 than PS3? I see. I wonder how the crowd that's been saying PS3 versions of 360 games will do substantially better will react.

28. [360] Tales of Vesperia (Namco Bandai)

Hanging in there =D

[Slurmer]

I'm just glad I got here early.

Unfortunately the PS3 fans do have a couple of cards to play in regards to Trusty Bell.

1. The game was crap
2. It came out a year after the XBOX 360 version

If Vesperia ever got a PS3 release, at least we can't argue number 1.

[icecream]

Because we all expected a fully priced year old port of a bomb would somehow not bomb.

It's not bombing. It's half the 360 LTD on only the first week.

[jibblypop]

Wow jibblypop...I'm not even going to quote that.

I'm surprised that pic got removed! The person above me said people were crazy for pokemon so all I did was was google image search "crazy pokemon". too much for GAF!

either way those sales are nuts. I cant wait to try that game.

[viciouskillersquirrel]

Oh man, I am seriously going to need to import myself a copy of Rhythm Tengoku Gold.

[PROOP]

I thought Dragonball DS would do much better.

Me too. I it had quite the display at Bic Camera Fukuoka. Has anyone picked it up, impressions?

[vareon]

Whoa Pokemon obliterated everything. Japan can't get enough of Pokemon it seems.

[The Faceless Master]

dragonbomb ds?

afrika & tov still hangin' in there!

True...

It could catch up to/surpass the 360 version with a little more time.

[viciouskillersquirrel]

Clicky:

Delicious. More DS music games is a good thing.

[donny2112]

dragonbomb ds?

Slightly better than the last DS Dragon Ball game.

NDS Dragon Ball Z: Harukanaru Goku Legend - 62K 1st week, 151K LTD

Edit:
Based on the 1st week percentages for all PS3 games selling 34K and above their first week, I think the best PS3 Trusty Bell can hope to do is to slightly surpass the 360 version (e.g. < 10K difference). It'll probably end up at or just below the 360 total, though.

[ElFly]

True... It could catch up to/surpass the 360 version with a little more time.

Unless it surpasses it by far, it's still a bomb.

[HK-47]

PL, I think you should add donny and Stumpy to the contributors section since they have give LC a bunch of data and charts. If they allow it of course

[PantherLotus]

PL, I think you should add donny and Stumpy to the contributors section since they have give LC a bunch of data and charts. If they allow it of course.

Agreed, but both declined for lack of time. Please note that any time charts outside the scope of LC are used they are cited and sourced. If anybody changes their mind (if only to get a mention without having to contribute weekly), I'd absolutely be for that.

I think the "contributors" are those that post entries in the blog.

20. [PSP] Monster Hunter Portable 2 G (SEGA)

If only that was true.

[harSon]

It's not bombing. It's half the 360 LTD on only the first week.

... and 10k less then the 360 versions first week, although Playstation 3 games do seem to have better legs then most 360 games.
