Media Create Sales: Week 27, 2011 (Jul 04 - Jul 10)

[VOOK]

3DS doubled just because of Starfox?

Maybe all it needs IS just games.

[xero273]

3DS doubled just because of Starfox? Maybe all it needs IS just games.

new color - red 3ds

[PdotMichael]

3DS doubled just because of Starfox? Maybe all it needs IS just games.

new color

[darkside31337]

3DS doubled just because of Starfox? Maybe all it needs IS just games.

New Color. Way more important than Starfox.

[gerg]

3DS doubled just because of Starfox? Maybe all it needs IS just games.

There was the red colour system, too, remember.

Edit: Wow, beaten badly.

[VOOK]

Ah right forgot! More colours then!

[Sennorin]

good week for 3DS. Now keep a stream of interesting releases, Nintendo.

Also, someone please post a bunch of past StarFox-games´ sales to compare with the 3DS-remake pls

[Mpl90]

Oh God,VOOK quoted in four posts, and every post with the same responses :lol
3DS, with the red, is... ON FIRE!YEEEEAAAAH!!!

For StarFox

[GCN] Star Fox Adventures (Nintendo) - 133.871 / 259.067 / 51,67% 27/09/02
[GCN] Star Fox Assault (Nintendo) - 79.786 / 195.407 / 40,83% 24/02/05
[N64] Star Fox 64 (Nintendo) - 75.595 / 565.222 / 13,37% 27/04/97
[NDS] Star Fox Command (Nintendo) - 27.425 / 93.973 / 29,18% 03/08/06

[Sammy Samusu]

11. / 17. [NDS] Pokemon Black / White (Pokemon Co.) {2010-09-18} - 10.951 / 5.238.287

That's all.

[crimzonflame]

Whats considered a 'good' sales number for a western developed game?

[Meier]

Wow, poor Star Fox. Nintendo needs Mario 3DS and Animal Crossing out stat.

[PdotMichael]

good week for 3DS. Now keep a stream of interesting releases, Nintendo.

hmmm, i don't see any "interesting" games till September with Devil Survivor: Over Clock

[Magicpaint]

Pokemon Black/White. Dem legs.

[pharmboy044]

Now all Nintendo has to do is release a 3DS with a new color each week and they'll never have to worry about 3DS sales. :P

[electroplankton]

hmmm, i don't see any "interesting" games till September with Devil Survivor: Over Clock

Super Pokémon Scramble, Zelda still selling.

[Mpl90]

hmmm, i don't see any "interesting" games till September with Devil Survivor: Over Clock

Pokemon in one week, my friend.
Be ready for something... interesting

[GloomyHitsuji]

Hmm... nice number for 3DS, hope it can keep it up.

[AAK]

Wow never knew Infamous 2 was localized for Japan. Looks like it didn't do too well... (checks google images) Ah.... maybe this is why:

[Magicpaint]

Hmm... nice number for 3DS, hope it can keep it up.

Best not hope for that. Gonna sink back to sub-30k next week.

[Hero of Legend]

Pokemon in one week, my friend. Be ready for something... interesting

Did Pokemon Dash even do that well? So Ambrella spin-offs even do respectable numbers for the franchise? I think the other spin-offs like Ranger and Dungeon do quite good, but still.

[Takao]

Infamous 2 did okay I guess for a Dragon Ball Z rated game.

Hmm... nice number for 3DS, hope it can keep it up.

It won't.

[onipex]

Well a new color every week should do the trick.

[The_Darkest_Red]

Wow never knew Infamous 2 was localized for Japan. Looks like it didn't do too well... (checks google images) Ah.... maybe this is why:

It's better than the US cover (which, admittedly, isn't saying much).

[M3d10n]

Well a new color every week should do the trick.

3DS Pantone series.

[idlewild_]

It's better than the US cover (which, admittedly, isn't saying much).

i think he means the cero z rating

[matmanx1]

3DS had a monster hardware week with the new color. Starfox itself did not have a great opening although that's sort of to be expected with it being another remake. 3DS needs games that are actually developed for the system specifically before sales really take off.

[electroplankton]

Did Pokemon Dash even do that well? So Ambrella spin-offs even do respectable numbers for the franchise? I think the other spin-offs like Ranger and Dungeon do quite good, but still.

Dash did 350k on DS in 2 years.

[onken]

3DS should get a new color every week!

Wow never knew Infamous 2 was localized for Japan. Looks like it didn't do too well... (checks google images) Ah.... maybe this is why: [IMG]http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/image_full_width/hash/c6/58/c658d84e6ac84489b0a792e4d55715e9.jpg[IMG]

Considerable improvement over the first game though.

[outunderthestars]

Wow, poor Star Fox. Nintendo needs Mario 3DS and Animal Crossing out stat.

Nintendo needs 3DS games that aren't N64 ports...

[RurouniZel]

Inazuma Eleven Strikers did better than I expected. I was figuring somewhere around 50K.

[slaughterking]

08. / 07. [3DS] The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (Nintendo) {2011-06-16} - 15.636 / 256.374 (+4%) 10. / 06. [PSP] Danball Senki (Level 5) {2011-06-16} - 12.085 / 256.875 (-24%)

Now within 501 units of each other. This is the best thing Sales Age achieved all year. :p

[Takao]

Nintendo needs 3DS games that aren't N64 ports...

In which case Animal Crossing isn't going to help at all.

[Kinan]

If PS3 and Wii will continue to sell like this week, then the YTD difference will exceed half a million at the end of the year.

[king zell]

Inazuma Eleven Strikers did better than I expected. I was figuring somewhere around 50K.

yeah also it was released later on the week not like the other games

[Phoenician_Viking]

PS3 | 23.322

PS3 is doing well, and no significant software release.

[M3d10n]

Now I noticed Little Battler disappeared form the top 20. Zelda wins?

[RurouniZel]

Now I noticed Little Battler disappeared form the top 20. Zelda wins?

Number 10

[°°ToMmY°°]

Now I noticed Little Battler disappeared form the top 20. Zelda wins?

You should look in the top10, then.

[SaintZ]

Go OoT! Also, Tales of The Abyss is completely gone, sad :(

[Dedication Through Light]

Wow never knew Infamous 2 was localized for Japan. Looks like it didn't do too well... (checks google images) Ah.... maybe this is why: [IMG]http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/image_full_width/hash/c6/58/c658d84e6ac84489b0a792e4d55715e9.jpg[/G]

Didnt do too well? I thought it did better than the first?

Anyway, UnchainRexx has such a huge difference on PSP and 3DS, wow.

[mentalfloss]

In which case Animal Crossing isn't going to help at all.

Good bump for 3DS.

If it can hold around 20-25k per week it should be just fine.

[Huff]

The Japanese really do like their different colored gaming machines.

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Disappointing numbers for Taiko DX. I know each version has been selling less and less, whether it be on PSP, DS or Wii but that seems poor. Anyone have the numbers for the last DS and Wii ones to hand for comparison?

[Sammy Samusu]

yeah also it was released later on the week not like the other games

You are right, the game was released on Saturday. :o

[walking fiend]

[Takao]

Disappointing numbers for Taiko DX. I know each version has been selling less and less, whether it be on PSP, DS or Wii but that seems poor. Anyone have the numbers for the last DS and Wii ones to hand for comparison?

First week:

[NDS] Taiko Drum Master DS: The 7 Island Adventure (Bandai Namco) - 60,250
[NDS] Taiko Drum Master DS (Bandai Namco) - 93,909

[PSP] Taiko Drum Master Portable 2 (Bandai Namco) - 12,370
[PSP] Taiko Drum Master Portable (Namco) - 17,436

[WII] Taiko Drum Master Wii (Bandai Namco) - 105,941
[WII] Taiko Drum Master Wii 2 (Bandai Namco) - 28,282

I have no clue if there are more of these outside of the PS2 entries.

[lunchwithyuzo]

Taiko DX and (especially) Inazuma Strikers did way better than I expected. Starfox did way worse though. The rest is about what I pictured.

Hopefully Starfox doesn't deep six further N64 remakes. I still want Majora's Mask and F-Zero X + eXpansion Set!

[AranhaHunter]

If PS3 and Wii will continue to sell like this week, then the YTD difference will exceed half a million at the end of the year.

It will depend on a couple of factors:

If DQX drops this year or Wii has an actual Y5,000 price drop then all bets are off.

[hosannainexcelsis]

Anyway, UnchainRexx has such a huge difference on PSP and 3DS, wow.

Given that the 3DS version is a quick and dirty inferior port, I'm not surprised at all.

Taiko no Tatsujin seems to have done pretty well for itself, conisdering past entries.
