[jj984jj]

Atlus was robbed! Famitsu has Devil Survivor on top. :(

[Y2Kev]

So what's the fashion game like?

[Private Hoffman]

Another slow week.

What's up with GT5:P getting back up there in the charts?

[Rlan]

Wow at Fallout still in the top 10. Moreso the westerners in Japan, or are Japan actually quite interested in the game?

[jj984jj]

It just came out on PS3.

[VOOK]

Fuck yeah the GameCube's still got it!

[polg]

Fuck yeah the GameCube's still got it!

[cvxfreak]

PS2 ports bomb, GC ports do well on Wii

Maybe Sega should experiment with Dreamcast ports!

[Tmac]

The playstation 3 seems to have a promissing year start this time round in japan.

7 titles on top 30, and some strong titles in pre-order (street fighter, resident evil, yakusa 3 and so on).

Let's see.

[TelemachusD]

Is this the first time PS3 titles have outnumbered Wii titles in the top 30 (7 PS3 vs. 6 Wii)? It's certainly not a regular occurrence.

[Grimmy]

Wah...? 7 PS3 titles on the list???
Momentum!

(or not)

[shykyoichi]

Go Devil Survivor!!! Get localized too...

[schuelma]

The playstation 3 seems to have a promissing year start this time round in japan. 7 titles on top 30, and some strong titles in pre-order (street fighter, resident evil, yakusa 3 and so on). Let's see.

And yet hardware sales are down compared to last year (we already have Famitsu numbers). If those games were accompanied by a price cut I would agree that they could get some momentum.

[sprsk]

I'm actually quite surprised by MT.

Wagamama Tengoku still holding strong.

MH2 out of no where, wtf. Though maybe this can be attributed to DFF.

I had no idea Devil Survivor even came out last week.

[XiaNaphryz]

Crazy Taxi Wii using the wheel?

[jakncoke]

03. [PS3] Naruto: Narutimate Storm (Namco Bandai) 44,000 / NEW

Is this good y/n?

[vareon]

What is Uranai Seikatsu?
Also, any J-Gaffers playing the Mario Tennis? I'm curious about how the new controls work.

[kpop100]

Wah...? 7 PS3 titles on the list??? Momentum! (or not)

and 6 Wii titles. The shift is on

[DJ Crimson]

It's not even a whole month yet. :l

It did. You'll be quite addicted if you like fuse your monsters for an infinite number of times.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Is this good y/n?

First week sales for the PS2 games:
Narutimate Hero 1: 125,000
2: 224,000
3: 194,000
Accel: 75,000
Accel 2: 94,000

So, not great, and certainly nothing compared to the series former strength, but given its on the PS3, it's not horrible.

[donny2112]

Crazy Taxi Wii using the wheel?

This ... is a wonderful idea. The courses would have to be modified to work with non-hairtrigger turns, but that seems like it could work. They already have Crazy Taxi on the GameCube so ... Wii de Asobu: Crazy Taxi!

And yet hardware sales are down compared to last year (we already have Famitsu numbers).

To be fair, everything is down save the 360. The PS3 is not alone ...

[schuelma]

Yes, very true. Who knows how low Wii will get..

[donny2112]

Who knows how low Wii will get..

Wait for ... :(

[Sage00]

Yes, very true. Who knows how low Wii will get..

No lower than Nintendo want it to get. They've given themselves a massive price buffer for situations like this, along with keeping every trick in the book unused (colors, bundles, etc).

[Metal Gear?!]

How'd Samba do in Japan?

[donny2112]

How'd Samba do in Japan?

1) Not a Dreamcast port.
2) 1600. Original sold 25K first week over 8 years previous.

03. [PS3] Naruto: Narutimate Storm (Namco Bandai) 44,000 / NEW

You gotta wonder why do they even bother with the PS3

[Hive]

28. Animal Crossing: Wild World <---- still charting after all these years ^^

And Go Go Wagamama!

Kurosaki Ichigo pointed out that there seems to be some discrepancy between that blog's numbers and MC's numbers. Notice #1 and #2 according to the blog and the top two in PantherLotus's post, for example. Too bad, too. They were definitely legit, but they're either modifying the numbers themselves or MC is feeding them tagged data. :(

9/10 are transposed as well.

[Jonnyram]

Maybe another source?

[donny2112]

The blog's numbers from last week didn't match Dengeki, and the blog's numbers from this week don't match Famitsu. :/

[bttb]

"Taiko no Tatsujin DS" series (2 titles) ships 1 million in Japan.
- Taiko no Tatsujin DS = 500k
- Meccha! Taiko no Tatsujin DS = 520k

"Taiko no Tatsujin" series (14 titles) ships 4 million in Japan.

[Drkirby]

Kirby has dropped out of the top 10, noooooooooooo ;-;

[AniHawk]

Crazy Taxi Wii using the wheel?

For the love of god, YES

[Angelus Errare]

Damn WKC dropped like whoa. Probably won't even be on the top 30 next week. It had a good run though. (I was kinda hoping for 400k)

[viciouskillersquirrel]

Who do you think are buying the Wii Play on Wii games? Non-Gamecube-owning Wii owners? Otakore Nintendo fans?

[Bebpo]

03. [PS3] Naruto: Narutimate Storm (Namco Bandai) 44,000 / NEW You gotta wonder why do they even bother with the PS3

Well the game was made for the American Naruto audience and takes place at the start of the series where Japanese fans currently have NO INTEREST in playing right now.

The sequel that coves the later/current manga should sell at least around 100kish.

[jakncoke]

26. [PS3] Race Driver Grid (Codemasters)

Talk about taking forever getting there.

[shykyoichi]

Who do you think are buying the Wii Play on Wii games? Non-Gamecube-owning Wii owners? Otakore Nintendo fans?

The ones who throw their remotes to their tvs.

[donny2112]

Who do you think are buying the Wii Play on Wii games?

Wii owners. You're tag is updated.

[viciouskillersquirrel]

Wii owners. You're tag is updated.

Oh hey! So it is.

I'm just wondering how the rereleases are being pushed and to whom. Are they made primarily for people who didn't play them last gen or are they being sold to double-dippers?

[donny2112]

I'm just wondering how the rereleases are being pushed and to whom. Are they made primarily for people who didn't play them last gen or are they being sold to double-dippers?

Anyone who will buy them. ;) Pikmin has the added effect of building interest in the third game. Mario Tennis is taking the Wii Tennis controls and expanding it into a full game. Why program a new game when a modified old game will do? DK:JB just seems wrong without the bongos. :(

[lyre]

While it's rare to see the publisher on the list, Atlus is spelled with a 'u'. Also their jp web page: http://www.atlus.co.jp/

[t3nmilez]

Yeah, Taiko Wii hanging in there!

Such a shame that DDR couldn't get the rebirth that Taiko got on the Wii.

[MidnightScott]

It was me, I bought all of those copies of Play-on-Wii: Mario Tennis GC just to piss off the hardcore ^_^

I'm actually looking forward to the other Play-on-Wii games since I never owned any of them for my Gamecube, plus they are only $30 each so why not? =D

Anyway, noooo Kirby ;-;...but Kirby did well in Japan so it's good to here. Now where the hell is Kirby Wii, Nintendo? Gimme it now ¬¬

[Linkzg]

what is Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Spec III?
