LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
You should hope for more than that, considering previous hardware bumps haven't lasted more than a few weeks really. The holidays coming up may help a bit though.kallisto76 said:

Depends on what you hope. If you hope it'll stay at 35k+ then you're up for a pretty big disappointment, consider there's nothing this week to keep the momentum going. I expect the PS3 to fall down to somewhere between 20k-25k next week.
EDIT: SEEMS LIKE THE M-CREATE SITE IS SHOWING GRAN TURISMO SPEC III IN THE TOP 10 AT #7.
Strange.

Nice, though I guess PSP will win this year's YTD, what with Dissidia coming out next month.

Not so much against Wii Music personally, as I am against Nintendo's current direction with the Wii. Lazy, and anything they do do is outnumbered by absolute shit. Since this is a sales thread, I can only wish poor sales on Nintendo, and hope they release games a little more often which I enjoy. Greedy, sure, but it's time for a change imo, and if sales numbers will help support that, all the better.

I read an article that said Nintendo shipped 200k units for the fist days. 170k were sold in two days (as you can see in this mc sales) and its outsold by now. Thursday or Friday should arrive another 100k units (if the article´s right).

In Japan? I think that is pretty much a safe bet at this point, but who knowsShadyMilkman said:
With funny, do you mean that is funny to see people's reaction like you mentioned 1-2 weeks ago or so when you said that you hoped that LBP will bomb? Honestly i dont think you will see too much of an reactions from people if Wii Music outsells LBP, atleast not in Japan. Wii is really popular, and Wii Music will probably sell millions of copies worldwide (not sure how much Wii Music will end up selling when it is all said and done in Japan though). LBP also seems really popular, but LBP is on the PS3, which is less popular system compared to the Wii. Personally i wouldnt exactly be suprised if Wii Music outsells LBP.ShadyMilkman said:
If you want fun, wouldnt it be more fun to see that the next i.e Animal Crossing game ending up selling like 50k in total in Japan?
I think you will have much more reaction from people then (if that is what you mean with funny) compared to if ("when") Wii Music outsells LBP.BishopLamont

Pretty much, it's fine to root for a game, but to ask for it's demise is pretty sad, especially when the people mocking it isn't even the games target audience.Cheez-It said:
That depends toally on how much Nintendo can ship, as we can see from the first week that the DSi is in demand.Regulus Tera said:
schuelma said:
pretty much , Samurai 3 won't do any thing at all , since Tenchu 4 ( bigger Franchise than Way of the Samurai ) did like +16K only on the Wii ( bigger userbase , better software performance than PS3 ) so , poor Acquire
I hope Acquire forget all about Tenchu and Samurai and start to make casual games and budget JRPGs on DSi and Wii starting next year .
Regulus Tera said:
I might think that the market for Dissidia is already there within the PSP owners (MHP2G players). Dissidia is a FF fan-service game, but it won't ship 2M, hopefully will see 1M in Japan, but how many units is SE expecting to sell?
After all it is just an spin-off, so I don't think it will be to the level of the DS remakes, but mostly with the TA/2 and CC games.
It might help sell some more PSP units, but Chrono Trigger is coming out just in 2 (or 3) more weeks, so the DSi might as well level up things with the PSP, hard call, but if you ask me, I see CT more of a system seller than Dissidia.

You might as well stop coming to these threads, because that's not going to happen for a very long time. Nintendo creates new multi-million selling IPs on whim and for every title that fails to hit that mark by some divine curse, the Big N pumps out 3 more successful ones to make up for it 4 times over.

Say what you will about their direction but they are not lazy developers. They have released more games in the first two years of the Wii's lifespan than any other previous console, all while supporting the DS more than any other Nintendo handheld. Oh and all of the Wii series of games has had ample time in development (Wii Music has been in development for over two years!) they are not simply shat out.

Wii Music sold around 23,000 units this week, bringing its total to roughly 164,000. At this rate, going into the festive period, it could very well hover around the 15,000-20,000 each week with ease, before getting a big boost at the end of December/early Jan. If it flies past 500,000 I seriously don't see it as being a disappointment at all.
Even now, actually, although it may be slightly underwhelming compared to the other entires into the 'Wii' range, its sales are not that miserable.
By the way, it's sad to see both Tenchu 4 and Castlevania: OoE dropping so quickly...

Why? That sort of comment strikes me as really odd. There are people out there really loving Wii Music, plus it's helping to make Nintendo more money that may very well go on to funding something like the new Zelda or Mario project. So why would you want it to crash and burn?TunaLover said:
The expectations of many on here and journalists around the world? Or are you going off Miyamoto's recent words, saying it's been hard to sell the game to people, yet actual sales so far have not been too bad?HK-47 said:
HK-47 said:
Did Nintendo said a number of what they expected to sell of Wii Music, either as in Japan or globally?
Because development costs probably have already been covered with those units from the first week. I don't see Wii Music being more expensive to develop than Wii Fit, or what Wii Sports 2 (with the MotionPlus accesory) cost to develop.
It indeed might not meet Nintendo's expectations, but I don't think they were expecting to sell 2M in Japan or 5M worldwide, Miyamoto has always been rather conservative in his interviews about it.

Dissidia won't help much. DSi sold what it shipped. Retailers are expecting to have 1.2-1.5 million shipped by the end of the year.
PS3 did much better than I was expecting, and I think I had the highest posted expectations of the regular posters. :lol It could have a shot to be ahead of Wii next week, too, but I think 15-20K is more likely. 360 should have a minor bump next week, but PS3 should still be higher.
Wii: How many weeks until Animal Crossing?
PSP: Less than expected decrease, which is a good sign for keeping up sales.
DSi: Sold what it shipped.
DSL: Continued, expected, slide
We now have numbers for the Top 11 games this week.

I'm still very surprised Nintendo has yet to localise this yet. I realise it would need a rather hefty revamp, á la Cooking Guide, but with such massive sales in Japan it still perplexes me why a Western version hasn't happened yet...Same goes for the Wii version (although comparatively it was a disaster in sales terms - still probably turned a nice profit though!)donny2112 said:
I was quite frustrated wit NoE's handling of Toshio Iwai's funky little DS game, since there was quite a lot of initial hype built up thanks to interest from DJs...then after NoA left it as retail-only, it eventually limped out into European stores without any publicity at all :-( Opportunity missed!
Nintendo's already said another 100,000 have been shipped this week, so including the ~20,000 that have been sold, but didn't make it in time for the M-C update, it should be another easy No.1 for the DSi next week.DSi sold what it shipped. Retailers are expecting to have 1.2-1.5 million shipped by the end of the year.
Indeed we do: 11.) Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (PSP The Best) (PSP, Capcom) - 26,000 | NEWWe now have numbers for the Top 11 games this week.
jesusraz said:
Because the WiiTittle has been too much successful so far, Nintendo could just relying on WiiTittles. Douche bags executives in NoA loves Wii casual line, so far they're focusing on WiiTittle while other great tittles got the shaft. I think that bad sales for a game in the WiiLine is good for game library balance.
EDIT if anything, WiiMusic doing strongly well Wiifit level could turn resources in WiiMusic 2, so the funding other tittles thing is a little tricky.

Yea, the first year was great, no problems from me. I really was emphasizing the lately when I wrote that. Given all the money Nintendo is making, they really could be doing so much more. Sort of how I feel with WoW. The amount of money being earned seems to be disproportionate to the product you are getting compared to other titles.
That said, the lazy part really just stems towards my frustration with Animal Crossing, it's like they waited 5 years simply to release the game again with almost no changes. It's more of a Capcom move really :lol
Psychotext said:
No I'm saying that he doesn't really believe LBP should of sold better than those two games. That if his standard for game sales was based only off user base size and not the IP or genre then he would then have to apply the same standard when talking about Wii game sales. But he doesn't because if he did every week he would be making the same statement about Wii games sales which usually under perform the userbase.
