Media Create Sales: Week 30, 2012 (Jul 23 - Jul 29)

[VOOK]

Awwwwww sheeeeet.

[metalslimer]

Continuing on with the NSMB2 discussion what was the DS userbase when NSMB released? Although I still don't think userbase is the big issue here. Oh by the way Wii sales are really surprisingly good.

[schuelma]

DQX sales at 420K on Famitsu.

[Pranay_]

dat WII Bump

[Tenki]

Wow at Wii sales.

[Sammy Samusu]

*waiting for Famitsu chart*

[Brazil]

Nice, DQX.

[stilgar]

Dat Nintendo Pacman

[massoluk]

So there are people in Japan that didn't have the Wii yet.

[MasterSheen]

Wii is alive!
Vita is dead!
3DS kicking butt!

[schuelma]

If Nintendo was still supporting the Wii I wonder if it could get close to Vita's YTD sales.

[Opus Angelorum]

Good second week for 3DS XL as well.

[Kyoufu]

That's high for an MMO.

[Canis lupus]

DQX is considered nice?

[Mpl90]

04./07. [3DS] Tohoku Daigaku Karei Igaku Kenkyuusho - Kawashima Ryuuta Kyouju Kanshuu - Mono Sugoku Nou o Kitaeru 5-Funkan no Oni Training <HOB> (Nintendo) {2012.07.28} (¥3.800) - 31.792 / 72.064 (-21%)

Interesting.

[RurouniZel]

Wow at that Wii bump! :O

[Thoraxes]

3DS sales above 100k.

DQX will depend on subs, but still a good for a Wii MMO I suppose.

Wii bumpage.

P4 Arena will pass 150k.

NSMB2 didn't break that hard on followup sales.

[Fabrik]

Ouch for Dragon Quest X and New Super Mario Bros. 2.

But it's deserved. even as a Mario fan, NSMB2 doesn't excite me.

[schuelma]

DQX is considered nice?

For an MMO I think so. Also remember the Wii U version will be out at some point and I bet SE will get a decent amount of double dippers. They might get to a million copies sold+ sub fees.

[King Beyond the wall]

04./07. [3DS] Tohoku Daigaku Karei Igaku Kenkyuusho - Kawashima Ryuuta Kyouju Kanshuu - Mono Sugoku Nou o Kitaeru 5-Funkan no Oni Training <HOB> (Nintendo) {2012.07.28} (¥3.800) - 31.792 / 72.064 (-21%) Interesting.

And so it begins...

[BadWolf]

Damn, overall Nintendo hardware numbers destroying Sony's.

[Foshy]

If Nintendo was still supporting the Wii I wonder if it could get close to Vita's YTD sales.

Now what if Sony was supporting the Vita?

[Wazzim]

3DS sales are ridiculous even though there is no big release, damn.

PSV | 9.038

Done deal.

[metalslimer]

Ouch for Dragon Quest X and New Super Mario Bros. 2. But it's deserved. even as a Mario fan, NSMB2 doesn't excite me.

I agree NSMB2 sales are either

A) really disappointing
B) there are lot of downloads off the E-shop
C) Obon will do something?

But DQX's sales are good.

Also DQX will be the most profitable DQ of all time when it's all said and done. Nintendo is likely to take care of the Wii U version if it ever comes stateside.

I wonder of they'll release quarterly sub numbers like Activision and EA.

I'm going to say yes if they're good and no if they're not.

[Smiles and Cries]

*waiting for Famitsu chart*

yeah I am switching side due to the DQX counts wide margins

[Coppertracks]

Indeed. As good as it (probably) is, it's a standard sequel and not what we really expect from Nintendo.

If it had been a New Super Mario World (which probably wouldn't have taken much more development) I wonder if the sales would have been higher?

[schuelma]

Now what if Sony was supporting the Vita?

snap a dap

[Frillen]

Dragon Quest Monsters seems to have sold around 10k for quite a few weeks now. Could it hit 1 Million?

[BassForever]

Vita back below 10k on both trackers :/

[M.I.S.]

Japan really loves its Dragon Quests.

Nice to see a Wii-vival (sorry!).

[Opus Angelorum]

Now what if Sony was supporting the Vita?

Ouch.

I don't get the ouch for DQ ?

What is dead may never die

[metalslimer]

I guess we'll see when New Super Mario Bros U comes out how the brand is really doing but this could signal Nintendo was wrong when they said they didn't need to change 2d Mario because they were giving people what they expected.

[TEJ]

Isn't this, like, really bad for a mainline dragon quest title?

[Man God]

I don't get the ouch for DQ ?

Blah blah blah, DQ IX sold 4 million, etc, etc.

[DGRE]

A couple really interesting things to note:

3DS - The LL truly hasn't replaced the OG 3DS in the eyes of consumers at this point. It truly is a new SKU that people are excited about, with OG 3DS holding firmly around 42k. It will be interesting to see where the LL settles and if it just becomes a permanent bump in 3DS total sales.

Wii - Obviously the bump is huge. The Wii COULD be on track to have a bigger year in 2012 than 2011. It really hangs on when the Wii U releases. If the Wii falls back to around 10k per week after this it would need about 8 weeks to surpass last year's total. Amazing.

[stilgar]

Blah blah blah, DQ IX sold 4 million, etc, etc.

Oh. Ouch indeed.

[StreetsAhead]

3DS will hit 7 million in the next two weeks baring a shock drop.

Vita may not hit a million until end of year holidays, and even then who knows how big a bump it'll get.

[miksar]

Can someone compare FF10/FF12 first weeks with FF11?

[metalslimer]

Isn't this, like, really bad for a mainline dragon quest title?

It's good for an MMO. It' s already outsold FF11's LTD. Comparing it to a mainline DQ is not really possible.

[Nirolak]

Isn't this, like, really bad for a mainline dragon quest title?

It's an MMO, I don't feel the normal 2+ million is feasible.

That's why what they report for sub numbers (or in lieu, dead silence) will be important.

[lunchwithyuzo]

I wonder of they'll release quarterly sub numbers like Activision and EA. I'm going to say yes if they're good and no if they're not.

Did they release quarterly sub sales for FFXI (good) or FFXIV (bad)?

[Canis lupus]

For an MMO I think so. Also remember the Wii U version will be out at some point and I bet SE will get a decent amount of double dippers. They might get to a million copies sold+ sub fees.

I forgot it had a WiiU version coming up. How much did FFXI sell in Japan?

[schuelma]

DQX= good I think, and bodes pretty well for the Wii U version.

NSMB2-Hmm..I hesitate to say too much given the long legged nature of 2D mario, but I think this is disappointing. NSMB U sales will be interesting.

[fabricated backlash]

Well what do you know, releasing blockbuster games will still sell old hardware? Colour me surprised.

I still think that Oni Training will remain a huge bomb unless they lower the price considerably. Should've been a 6 bucks eshop release.

[allan-bh]

I expected more, but 367k is nice for an online Dragon Quest.

[Opus Angelorum]

Double post.
