On a sadder note, we never got the top 500 from last year did we?

last year's book actually had a top 1000, but no we haven't got it yet :/

96. [PS3] Demon Souls [PS3 The Best] (SCE) - 49,730

cool.

what's the total sale of Demon's Souls original version in Japan?

what's the total sale of Demon's Souls original version in Japan?

159k, so a little over 200k with the BEST reprint

 

[Canova]

159k, so a little over 200k with the BEST reprint

not bad.

I hope Sony takes notice

Demon's Souls is one game that deserves a sequel

Wow even the top ten seem low. How did games in Japan sell in the early 2000s when the PS2 was the most popular?

The top ten isn't the problem here. During the PS2 era, maybe one or two games a year sold over a million. They were typically Final Fantasy, Pokemon or Winning Eleven. Once the DS was introduced you can start getting into years that had upwards of ten million sellers, which is really unheard of.

2007: 9
2006: 10
2005: 3
2004: 6
2003: 4
2002: 3
2001: 4
2000: 5

The real problem I see in this chart is that the bottom end seems unusually low and there is a quick drop off from the top ten. A very telling sign of economic troubles in my mind, people are only buying the big games they know they want.

It's really hard to argue against your one (1) unreleased game.

The 1st and 2nd parts of my post were unrelated.

Hope dies last.

Well PSP seems pretty healthy, lol.

Wow where is SEGA?!

 

[Lagspike_exe]

not bad.

200k in Japan alone with healthy world wide sales should be enough for a sequel.

6. PlayStation 2 - 53,216 / 21,856,978

I have 21,856,726. cvx if you still have the Famitsu magazine of January with 2009 top 100 can you check the YTD/LTD of PS2?

I don't have it anymore, sorry.

Here's what I posted in the NeoGAF Famitsu 2009 Top 100 Sales Chart Thread.

PS2: 255,960 [21,803,762]

21,803,762 + 53,216 = 21,856,978

33. [WII] Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles (Konami) - 138,610

hmmmm. Even in Famitsu?

 

[Sammy Samusu]

65. [WII] Monster Hunter Tri - 73,141 / 1,041,174

Nice.

8)

It may reach 1.1M, also, why not release the Best Price edition?

71. [WII] Samurai Warriors 3 (Koei Tecmo) - 65,345 / 277,715

Pretty good imo.

 

[donny2112]

Thanks, cvxfreak!

Hope dies last.

Worst case: We buy it ourselves in a few months.

Then you agree that third-parties dropped the ball on Wii. Lack of releases typically leads to lack of sales for those non-existent releases.

Thanks that puts things in perspective.

I hate how japanese groups tend to count rereleases as seperate numbers.

6. [PSP] Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker (Capcom) - 727,823

This is a joke you are pulling, right OP? Famitsu didn't screw that up, did they?

 

[Goron2000]

Why do all the Resident Evil games say they're from Konami?

Yeah, the OP or where he got the list from is doing that dumb joke. Its only funny when it relates to castlevania anyway.

 

[Busaiku]

So somewhere down the road, NSMB will cross 6 million and SSBB will reach 2 when all is said and done. Really impressive.

Not that far down.
New Super Mario Bros will probably do it by the end of this year, or maybe early next year.
Super Smash Bros Brawl should definitely do it by the end of this year.

I'm not one to participate in sales threads but I wanted to say I appreciated the chuckle as I skimmed down the list
