It's 5 years after the PS3 launched, Team ICO's first game will be an HD Collection of their PS2 games

Team ICO isn't even developing this btw, it's outsourced to an American 3rd party.

So, I though Star Fox could do a bit better than half of the debut of the original, but seeing these charts (behind Puyo Puyo ) it doesn't seem the case

 

[BadWolf]

Noire fell like a rock.

Glad to see Taiko Drum Master do well.

 

[cw_sasuke]

This rounds goes to OoT 3D....

Puyo Puyo games on DS sell quite well though...

 

[allan-bh]

TOP 10 this week should be the best in months.

 

[weeaboo]

Looking forward to Inazuma Eleven Strikers numbers, I wonder if the franchise does well in a non-portable system.

I tought SF could open with something like 40-45k
Now, it'll be lucky to be at 30k...and that wouldn't be so bad...but 40-45k would have been the perfect debut in my opinion

 

[Takao]

I wonder if Famitsu, and Media Create will agree with Zelda and not LBX staying in the top 10, haha.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Its a low-effort spin-off.....this cant be compared to the full-size rpgs on (3)DS + its on Wii....lol

See MC saying that LBX is in top10,and Zelda in 15th position.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

3. [Wii] Inazuma Eleven Strikers
4. [PSP] Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu 2011

 

[Chris1964]

Famitsu says Taiko is a close second.

I'll be offline again, since this is a big software week someone better start the new thread if you don't want to wait 4 hours.

 

[confuziz]

I expect Inazuma to be above 100k.

Great week for 3DS! Zelda is quite steady now.

 

[Jonnyram]

^ wow at 3DS

Yeah, pretty low considering there was a new colour ;P

 

[gerg]

^ wow at 3DS

A new colour was launched alongside Star Fox 64 3D. Expect sales to return again to their regular levels from next week.

 

[Grimmy]

So the new 3DS color helped it alot. Alas next week it will drop like a rock
But it does help Zelda win over Little Battlers this week!
Scariest thing is the ratio of Unchain Blade Rexx. PSP: 18,256. 3DS: 5592. Yikes.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Starfox bomba

 

[Father_Brain]

Scariest thing is the ratio of Unchain Blade Rexx. PSP: 18,256. 3DS: 5592. Yikes.

Is that really that alarming, considering the difference in user bases?

 

[electroplankton]

Scariest thing is the ratio of Unchain Blade Rexx. PSP: 18,256. 3DS: 5592. Yikes.

Actually the ratio between the two versions is pretty good for 3DS; we have seen in the past that many multi games (e.g. Wii-PS2) had lower ratio. Considering the fact that PSP has a momentum in Japan now, I expected higher numbers for this version, and lower for the 3DS one.

 

[MikeE21286]

Yeah, pretty low considering there was a new colour ;P

argh. forgot about the new color

 

[madmaxx350]

PSPgo still doing its "reaching the hearts and mind of all Japanese gamers" thing. What a week!

 

[allan-bh]

I expected more for Inazuma Eleven and Star Fox.

3DS hardware is nice.

 

[electroplankton]

Starfox bomba

Higher than the debut of the DS one, which ended to sell almost 100k.

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

The Taiko PSP comparison is nuts:
[PSP] Taiko Drum Master Portable (Namco) {2005.08.04} - 17.436 / 83.378
[PSP] Taiko Drum Master Portable 2 (Bandai Namco) {2006.09.07} - 12.370 / 221.179
[PSP] Taiko Drum Master Portable DX (Bandai Namco) {2011.07.14} - 80,215 / NEW

Although the 2nd one LTD at 221k while Famitsu stopped at 59k still tops it. I wonder if Dengeki could give a LTD update this week given the new one.

 

[test_account]

Seems like LA Noire will have a very hard time selling out it's first shipment. The price will probably drop big during the next few weeks.

Unless Wii Play Motion have huge legs, it will sell a lot less than what Wii Play did (around 2.8 million). I guess that one of the reasons why Wii Play sold so good was because of the included Wii controller and now a lot of Wii owners already have controllers.

Curious to see if Namco will give PSP another Taiko this holiday, or if they'll announce the usual Wii one.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Wii seems to have got out of the big slump. Sales still aren't great but definitely better than the 7-9k of the last few months.

 

[electroplankton]

Curious to see if Namco will give PSP another Taiko this holiday, or if they'll announce the usual Wii one.

Or perhaps a 3DS one.

 

[Sennorin]

Yeah, pretty low considering there was a new colour ;P

Well, the 3DS *did* need something to get higher sales, and that will be true for the future as well. Let´s hope Nintendo gets the message, aka "good offerings result in good sales".

 

[Father_Brain]

Actually the ratio between the two versions is pretty good for 3DS; we have seen in the past that many multi games (e.g. Wii-PS2) had lower ratio. Considering the fact that PSP has a momentum in Japan now, I expected higher numbers for this version, and lower for the 3DS one.

Yeah, it did 30% of PSP numbers on a platform with a much smaller percentage of PSP's user base. That's not bad, though if I were a niche J-publisher, I'd probably wait until after the holidays to try releasing anything like this as a 3DS exclusive.
