Hmmm, after thinking about it more, I think it might be a struggle for Last Ranker to even hit 50k in the first week. An opening week of 25-35k is not out of the question... Why is it all looking so pessimistic now? :(

It wasn't looking much better before, just right now you can see its only #16 on amazon.co.jp PSP-only chart, its not (and its never been I think) on comgnet top20 preordered titles...and its launching on the same day as three other big PSP games: Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu 2010, Momotarou Dentetsu Tag Match and Naruto Shippuden: Kizuna Drive.

Funnily enough, long-delayed, not-as-good-looking, Image Epoch's Fate/Extra releases just a week later and its looking much better positioned to do good.

Yeah, I expect Fate/Extra is do over 50k easily. There's more interest in it among the otaku consumers, and there's a limited edition with a Figma which should secure a good number of preorders. It's going to be pretty amazing if a crappy licensed MMV Fate dungeon RPG shitfest outsells a Capcom RPG with pretty good production values and some big names in the staff. It's certainly looking that way though. :(

Click to expand...

Media Create is one of three services tracking the sales of games in Japan. They release weekly data and so there's a thread each week. Listed are the top 30 games. We get numbers from Media-Create for the top 10, and rankings for the top 30.

01. / 02. [WII] Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Nintendo) - 53.000 / 572.000 (-28%)
Click to expand...

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is #1 in Japan for this week. Last week it was #2. It's on the Wii. It's published by Nintendo. It sold 53,000 copies this week. The total sales are now 572,000. Weekly sales are down 28% from last week.

02. / 00. [NDS] Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective (Capcom) - 24.000 / NEW
Click to expand...

Ghost Trick is #2 in Japan for this week. It is a new release. It's on the DS and published by Capcom.

What else is there to know?

Glad to see Xenoblade break the 100k mark.
Super Mario Galaxy is going pretty well. I will be interesting to see if it can pass the 1000k mark without a holiday boost.

2nd week: 04. / 01. [PS3] Final Fantasy XIII (Square Enix) - 188.511 / 1.690.475 (-87%)

Edit: also duckroll time to take back the 35K prediction for MHF! Game store blogs seem to have close to across the board being sold out,Konami's initial shipment to wholesales was sold out(extra shipment over the weekend). My little town 2 of 3 of the game stores haev it sold out,

Although the game should have close to zero legs.

The anime is based on an older game, it's a visual-novel/dating-sim for girls.

It's looking less and less likely for Galaxy 2 to catch up to Galaxy 1. It'll be a little while longer before it meets Sunshine's 800K LTD, too.

Yeah, unless there's some amazing stabilising going on next week, it seems that it's going to end up somewhere between Sunshine and Galaxy when it finally stops selling (note: not when it drops off the charts). Not bad, but it would have been nice to see it match or exceed SMG, as it certainly seems to deserve the sales.

Agreed. The game can still stabilize, but it's going to have to sell for a long time rather than sell for a medium period but have higher sales each week. Galaxy 2 has now just caught up to MH3's first two days. That really puts some perspective into its ability to meet Galaxy 1.

Maybe you guys missed the discussion in the last thread, but only about half of the Trauma series games ever see the Top 30. It's possible this is the biggest opening the series has seen.

Oh, I know how terribly the games do in Japan. But the game is so much more than the Trauma Center games, and should have appealed way more to Japanese gamers. It's pretty sad. I can't wait to see how it underperforms in North America. :|

The games keep getting made, so it has to sell somewhere.
I think Second Opinion might still be Atlus USA's best selling game, but it might've been beaten by Demon's Souls now.

''Well'' is a very soft description.

I was impressed from Honda (for a Japanese player). First time I saw a Japan game in this world cup. Anyone knows what's his team?

Early price drops spread the effect out. That said, I thought the new colors would be more popular. Looks like 3DS hype is going to have it's toll on DS sales even this early.
