It is what it says it is. Wii Sports Resort bundled with a Remote Plus instead of a Motion Plus attachment.

Next week 3DS will be the Wii of some weeks ago :lol
However,Zelda holds greatly,especially considering the low performance of the 3DS.
So,it will probably be one of the titles that will have a major rebounce thanks to the Price Kill week

Agreed. I wouldn't be surprised if we also saw Nintendogs, Layton and One Piece re-entering the charts when the drop hits.

ouch for 3DS..

Post price drop announcement weeks, it was to be expected.

I can't wait for BurntPork "doomed!" posts though, always makes me laugh.

I'm more surprised about the Psp bumb though, were there that many people waiting for Queen's Gate?

3DS is heading to sub 10k numbers next week although I expected this already from this week.

Saturday and Sunday take the lion piece of sales though considering nothing was released at Thursday.

Zelda needs to GTFO of the top 20, so that we can observe our glorious Hino-driven kids robot RPG legacy. But it probably won't because of Iwata's loose pockets.

Speaking of which, the anime has been getting great ratings lately.

These two, in this order, will have the most important gain from the drop.
Nintendogs has been able to do almost 7k (Famitsu's numbers) when the 3DS did 47k due to the new colour,so... if the console obtains to do something like 100k,we could see it at 15k,and Layton almost at 10.
Other titles that will probably rise are One Piece,yes... but also RE and Tales of could rise.
Hell,even Sengoku Musou could jump...

Not this week.

Actually yes, don't believe what the people in the other thread said. Announcement was 4 days before the end of the week tracked in this thread.

It shall be 7.

@Alrus: I'm not an idiot. I'm a bit concerned about the fact that DSi sales weren't affected, but that's it.

It doesn't happen normally, but I can very well picture Nintendo and Level-5 starting new advertising campaigns for Nintendogs respectively Layton if the 3DS post-price-cut sales are great.

Especially Level-5 has a great interest in a good-selling Layton 5 that sets a decent foundation for the last game of the second trilogy. The current LTD of Layton 5 are limiting the sales potential of Layton 6 somewhat.

The weekly sales of the DSi and DSi LL are so low that I'm pretty sure that they are selling to a very specific audience that either just wants a cheap handheld and isn't in the know about recent industry news or that the customers are people who specificially want a DSi/LL.

A possible reason DSi/XL sales weren't really affected could be that a lot of people who are buying the systems this late in their lifespan wouldn't be the first to jump on a new system, or be aware of the price cut.

Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Makes it 4 days out of 7 in my book. Most of the 16k 3DS's this week were sold from Monday to Wednesday, I bet.

It's the last hurrah in Japan. After this, it will finally be able to rest in peace. It will be remembered by some as one of the greatest we've ever seen, by GAF and gaming journalism as poison, and by your mother as an overpriced exercise DVD.

I think games with heavy female or kid audiences will benefit the most. It might help stuff like Tales or Musou too, but I don't expect to see them make top 20.

It's got a few more hurrahs left (DQ Collection, Kirby, Itadaki Street, Zelda SS, Mario Part 9, DQX). Some stuff like Epic Mickey, Basara 3 Utage or Just Dance could surprise too.

Makes you wonder how well the console could have done if Nintendo hadn't treated it like shit. It seems like only 1 software hit was needed to get back to PS3 level sales. The short lifespan of the Wii was written in the stars for years now, but Nintendo didn't really do much to fight against it.

Still the weirdest aspect of this generation: Nintendo stomping everyone out of the gate, but the Sony platforms slowly chugging along and even reviving a bit after the Nintendo platforms have fizzled out.

I'm looking forward to the 3DS sales. The horrendous lows followed up by an (expected) peak will be entertaining.

Why would you buy a 3DS before pricecut?
