[AniHawk]

that about does it for mario in japan.

[Nirolak]

01. / 01. [WII] Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Nintendo) - 105.000 / 445.000 (-69%)

Interesting, this is essentially the exact same percentage drop as Super Mario Galaxy 1.

[MisterHero]

I really should read up on Medabots DS

I really liked the anime and would want a game like the show :lol

[Yoboman]

Interesting, this is essentially the exact same percentage drop as Super Mario Galaxy 1.

Wow it's like the same audience is buying it

[Y2Kev]

Stop buying lp2

[Moor-Angol]

Metal Bomba Solid PSP is still in top10 despite is a bomba (for someone)

/ironic

[Chris1964]

Media Create Galaxy second week

[WII] Super Mario Galaxy (Nintendo) - 74.457 / 325.042

Galaxy was at 431.627 5 weeks after its release.

[BowieZ]

New Super Mario Bros. Wii is FINALLY out of the Top 10!

how long til it overtakes SMG2?

[Nirolak]

Wow it's like the same audience is buying it

It's a significantly higher starting number though.

[Freezie KO]

Clearly Nintendo needs to release more "How to love good games" on DVD.

[A Twisty Fluken]

Is this the first time NSMB Wii has dropped out of the 10 since its release?

[AFreak]

Don't know if it'll reach 1 million.

[Rocksteady33]

Media Create Galaxy second week [WII] Super Mario Galaxy (Nintendo) - 74.457 / 325.042 Galaxy was at 431.627 5 weeks after its release.

But if I'm not mistaken Galaxy 1 had a rebirth of some sort due to new marketing during the holiday rush and pushed it to ~1 million. I don't see this happening with Galaxy 2.

[Nirolak]

Stop buying lp2

Fear not, this is the only place on Earth people are buying it.

[Metroid Killer]

But if I'm not mistaken Galaxy 1 had a rebirth of some sort due to new marketing during the holiday rush and pushed it to ~1 million. I don't see this happening with Galaxy 2.

Yeah if I remember correctly(I'm sure we'll get those numbers posted soon), after Galaxy dropped down to 20-30k~ the holidays started and pushed it back up to 100k. I don't see that happening for Galaxy 2 either, but we never know which kinda legs it'll have compared to the original, perhaps the many more Mario players will boost the legs slightly more.

[cvxfreak]

Galaxy 2 had the same drop as Peace Walker (68-69%), for reference.

[m3k]

Wow it's like the same audience is buying it

you have the best tag/picture combo ever

go souths :lol

Or...more games that are played in 2D. :D

[farnham]

so smg 2 is outselling it smg 1 at this point (even if not by much)

thats great:D

[Cosmonaut X]

so smg 2 is outselling it smg 1 at this point (even if not by much) thats great:D

Well, I'd hold off on celebrating until we see how it performs in the next week or two. There's still a reasonable chance that we're going to see a bigger opening week and first month, but a faster collapse after that and the game could still end up under SMG's LTD by a fair bit.

I'm hopeful that this won't be the case, but I don't think it's unprecedented for a sequel to open better and still end up below its predecessor's LTD.

[Metalmurphy]

Stop buying lp2

Why? It's a great game, and now that it got patched, it's even better.

[Sammy Samusu]

Seems like SMG2 is out of stock on Amazon, new shipment 12/06.

[cvxfreak]

Seems like SMG2 is out of stock on Amazon, new shipment 12/06.

Not sold out in actual stores in the Tokyo area, though.

[donny2112]

01. / 01. [WII] Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Nintendo) - 105.000 / 445.000 (-69%)

This drops two "very"s from my post last thread, but this is still a disappointing drop for SMG2.

Numerically, it almost exactly matches Sunshine's second week, but dropping from a higher point. Sunshine hung around the Top 30 until November selling ~260K after its second week before dropping off the Top 30. Galaxy hung around the Top 30 until February selling ~540K after its second week before dropping off the Top 30.

But if I'm not mistaken Galaxy 1 had a rebirth of some sort due to new marketing during the holiday rush and pushed it to ~1 million. I don't see this happening with Galaxy 2.

Exactly.

I don't think it's unprecedented for a sequel to open better and still end up below its predecessor's LTD.

Yakuza 3 is an example.

And I want this to not bomb too hard.

[Cygnus X-1]

That's very disappointing. I really wonder where are the 10 millions dudes who bought a Wii in Japan.

[Shirokun]

I really wonder where are the 10 millions dudes who bought a Wii in Japan.

Still playing Wii Sports, bro.

[Vinci]

That's very disappointing. I really wonder where are the 10 millions dudes who bought a Wii in Japan.

Playing NSMB Wii or DQ IX.

[JoshuaJSlone]

Time for crazy-too-far extrapolation. :)

SMG started its holiday bounce on its sixth week. No reason to believe SMG2 will have the same, but if it continues the percentage increase from the first two weeks through week five, it would be at 600K by then.

Since we can't count on a Galaxy comparison past that point, maybe we move to Sunshine. After week five Sunshine gained an additional 50% before we stopped hearing about it. If Galaxy 2 did the same, that would put it around 900K.

[donny2112]

If Galaxy 2 did the same, that would put it around 900K.

... And set the new record for worst legs of a mainline Mario platformer. After these second week sales, that's looking more likely. :/

[farnham]

Xenoblade hits Japan (this week biggest release) http://www.true-gaming.net/home/11386 Just Cause 2 from SE http://www.true-gaming.net/home/11401

are you sure xenoblade is bigger then just cause 2 ?

[Takao]

Medabots DS :(

[cvxfreak]

There was little reason for anyone to expect a miraculous or even out of character performance for SMG2.

[velvet_nitemare]

are you sure xenoblade is bigger then just cause 2 ?

I would assume so. Xenoblade is a JRPG, and JC is a mid-tier western franchise.

[Sohter.Nura]

That's very disappointing. I really wonder where are the 10 millions dudes who bought a Wii in Japan.

I gotta admit, I haven't touched my Wii console in probably a couple of months, and I've ALWAYS been a Wii fanboy X_X

But then again, living again with the waifu probably doesn't help my gaming habits :P

[Oblivion]

that about does it for mario in japan.
