i read that it will sell better 2nd week...ehm.. 2nd month... ehm... 2nd year...
Whats interesting is that Nintendo is being stubborn about it and is still going with big marketing campaign for it, at least here in Europe... They probably dont want to offend the great one....

It's also entirely possible they bought heavy advertising well in advance.spwolf said:i read that it will sell better 2nd week...ehm.. 2nd month... ehm... 2nd year...

I'm rather surprised at Wii Music's poor sales both here and abroad. I knew that it wouldn't do as good as the other games but I don't think anyone saw the coming of an outright bomb.
I hope this means that Nintendo will stop leaning heavily on Miyamoto; it's kind of sapping their creativity and hurting their core games in my opinion. I think, and pray, that discovering what they should have known from the beginning -- that there is a limit to the profitability and possibilities of the Wii**** series-- can finally trigger this.

As of the Famitsu numbers from two weeks prior to these numbers that are in Garaph, Wii Music is right in the middle sales-wise for Nintendo-published games this year. Well, not counting any that failed to chart.

Poor LBP. Still, the PS3 seems to be doing a lot more solidly now.
Quick death of the DS-Lite is surprising though, unless everyone ran out of stock or didn't discount.

How is Ace Combat 6 back in the top 30?
Isn't the game packaged with the 360?

budget re-release
Just for some perspective, last years numbers for 11/12-11/18:
1. NDS - 76,084 | 78,884 | 6,037,183 | 20,042,862
2. PSP - 65,609 | 58,964 | 2,310,547 | 6,842,676
3. PS3 - 39,178 | 55,924 | 883,746 | 1,341,304
4. WII - 36,230 | 34,546 | 2,896,660 | 3,816,303
5. PS2 - 8,855 | 9,043 | 667,628 | 20,822,487
6. 360 - 6,525 | 5,817 | 195,241 | 459,943
7. GBA - 262 | 923 | 50,165 | 15,348,244
8. NGC - 38 | 69 | 10,341 | 4,179,809
Obviously PS3 was coming off the price drop, but it still shows they are probably going to lose ground this holiday compared to last year. (as will Wii most likely).

You mean 100k LTD? If so, i think LBP will get there. The christmas season is comming soon. LBP needs to sell about 5k each week for the rest of this year to reach 100k this year. And that is just counting to the end of this year. I dont think that its impossible for LBP to reach 100k LTDjakncoke said:21. Little Big Planet (PS3) 8.600 [72.000]
100k was a nice dream to have

I think it will probably get there eventually, but I doubt we'll see it happen. I expect it to be out of the top 30 pretty quickly.

Ye, i think that as well, especially now that when the christmas season is comming up. It was sort of like this with Time Crisis 4 for the PS3 if i remember correctly. We didnt get any numbers for Time Crisis 4 before the Famitsu and/or the Media Create top 500 list for 2007 was released. Time Crisis 4 for the PS3 was released 24th December 2007, so i guess that the other games sold more which resulted in that Time Crisis 4 was getting relatively far down on the Top 30 and Top 50 list that we didnt get any first week numbers.schuelma said:
I think it will be the same with LBP, we will have to wait for the Famitsu and/or the Media Create top 500 list for 2008 before we will eventually see if LBP is over 100k or not

How come Famitsu and MC numbers differ so much this time? That's more than double the MC number.
And if we see the PS2 and 360, the difference at most is 700.
Anyway good numbers for the PS3 and with 2 games on the top 5. By Famitsu, totaling to 6 games on the top 30. The PS3 should be able to keep the momentum until past Q1 of next year this way.
In the mean time looking forward to the Wii next week with AC, will people get tired of getting ports of old games or will they eat it up?
And I hope Chrono Trigger will do great. anyone know of SE's expectations? Is 500k in the first month too low/high?

Sony has already shipped ~130k of LBP, don't you guys remember every one of my posts? For shame :/

Nah. We'll know before then. IGN posting a Top 20 for PS3. Monthly charts. Something. If it crosses 100K this year, we'll see it somewhere.

I doubt it. I've seen bigger ads for the loli-witch molesting game.

I didnt forget (if you were refering to me), i did remember that the LBP shipment was around 130k somewhere (i think i knew this because of the post you made earlierKurosaki Ichigo said:
). I just replied to jakncoke's post and said that i think that LBP might sell about 100k Ah ok, i didnt know that.

Thans for the info! I'd love to be a fly on the wall at NOJ HQ right now. You *know* they weren't expecting Wii Music to be ignored by the same masses who bought Wii Sports, Play and Fit like they were going out of style. Sure, they've probably known for a while that Wii Music might be a tough sell, but I have a hard time imagining they thought it would be as tough as it has been.
Then again, if AC Wii puts up good numbers next week (and the weeks leading up to the holidays), all might be forgiven/forgotten.
I'm actually feeling a bit gun shy when it comes to AC Wii, though. I think if it was a completely new and updated product it would easily sell truckloads like Mario Kart Wii has. Given that it's just a slight upgrade from the DS version (in terms of content), I'm skeptical, though.
Thankfully (for NOJ), they can always fall back on the DSi, RTG, Pokemon and the Girls Mode game no matter what happens to Wii Music and AC Wii

Great numbers for the best Kirby game (Canvas Curse deserved better though, the not-so-good Squeak Squad outsold it 3:1)
Waganama Fashion will have the legs, not so much the Pedometer game, which is dying fast.

For starters, the GC version of AC did 641,300 units, obviously with a much lower user base.
Taking another game in the Wii, coming from a huge franchise in the DS (and GB) although a different type of game is Pokemon Battle Revolution which did 332,892 units, and the same could be seen with the GC games.
This just helps to see how some console games won't do as good as the portable versions, although the original games are on consoles (N64 and GC), of course not as popular as the DS, but at least 1M units shouldn't be so far from reality.
The real test for the Wii and Nintendo casual approach will be next year when Wii Sports 2 is released, if the game follow the steps of the original game, then Nintendo won't have to worry about changing their busines model for a while longer.
