I wouldn't be surprised to see a bunch of older games like Flash Focus, Layton, Cooking Navi, etc creeping up towards a million by the time we get another update.Captain Smoker said:Rythm Tengoku should the 23th million seller on the NDS.
Dragon Quest VI and Dragon Quest IX should be million sellers too = 25 million sellers
I wonder if the DS is going to overtake the SNES (= 28 million sellers). ^^

Laguna said:After seeing these numbers for both Dragon Quest remakes I wonder what this team will do after DQ6r is released. SQEX would be insane to let this cashcow go, the only question will be if they go back to remaking the first Dargon Quest games or rather go straight to DQ7. There were also hints that there may be a new installment in the DQM series. I think that the DQ francise alone will generate at least 4 new million sellers for NDS. (with 6,9, likely another remake and a new Monster installment)
Y2Kev said:So Fatal Frame 4 has done better than the others, yes? That's good (for Tecmo and for FF fans like meeeee).
How about this Afrika business-- doing better than expected? Kind of want to see it in America, not that it really matters how it does in Japan.

Hcoregamer00 said:Wait...what?
This may be crazy talk, but what is your justification that the 360 would outsell the Wii?

jimbo said:Well if ToV by itself can sell 24,000 Xboxes in one week...and sell the thing out....
....price drop + IU+ re-stocking + whatver left over demand there may still be for ToV all hitting the same day-tomorrow-should AT LEAST do the same.
Stumpokapow said:I really don't think that's a fair analysis.
Fatal Frame's first week sales were deemed good and in-line with the series by virtually everyone whose posts I bother to read in these threads. The only argument about FF4 being a bomb was that 60k for a console game is a bomb. And that's true by far and large--FF games are clearly not cash cows. However within the accepted expectations for the series, it did well, and GAF recognized that.
WLS is still a bomb. Wario World GCN sold 150k. Wario Master of Disguise sold 300k. Both of those were SUBSTANTIAL falls from Wario Land 4's 500k as well as the cheap-to-produce less-risky 500k+ obtained by every WarioWare (except GCN which did 400k). If WLS was a risk, I don't see how the worst sales in series history could be considered a reward.
That it managed to use legs to avoid cratering and potential climb itself up to GCN-level software sales is not a success.
Kagari said:You think a new IP will do as well as a Tales game? And there's no way it'll catch the Wii.
Jonnyram said:^ 2 and 4 are pretty much the same argument, but I do agree with you that 360 should sell pretty well this week. I see it passing the PS3 without a problem, but the big issue is whether it'll outsell Wii for the week.
Jonnyram said:Definitely. The interesting thing is, the sales were increasing weekly up to the release of Tales, thanks to the RPG announcements (and advertising campaign), then Tales came out and it hit the limit, hardware stopped shipping and sales dropped. There must be a lot of leftover momentum from back then, but the question is when those people will return to make their purchase. It would be foolish to think they'll all buy it straight away, but there is a chance, I guess. IU should have plenty of pulling power too. Reviews have been decent in Japan, so I see it selling similar numbers to Eternal Sonata at least.
jimbo said:Where are the new numbers for this week?
JoshuaJSlone said:Stumpokapow suggested a software group for million sellers. So I did that, as well as smaller groups for multi-million sellers.
1+ million
2+ million
3+ million
4+ million
5+ million
AranhaHunter said:Is this only for games after PS2? I know there are some PSX, SNES and NES games that sold over a mil.
jimbo said:I'm pretty sure I listed a combination of 4 different things that are happening tomorrow, the biggest of which is price drop, not just IU. And I also didn't say anything about it catching the Wii. I said selling more than the Wii as in for the week.
Let's recap one more time:
1. Official price drop similar to that of the US starting 9/11 in Japan.
2. RE-stocking. It's been sold out since TOV.
3. Infinite Undiscovery
4. Left-over demand for people that couldn't get a 360 for TOV because of low supplies.
These 4 things I believe will cause a bigger increase than TOV did. That's just my opinion, but I don't think it's out of the question that it can do better this week than TOV week.
Reports have come in
