So DS outsold the PSP by ~7000 units this week. that would mean PSP held its YTD advantage over DS.
So unless next week is counted for 2010 totals, PSP clinched Japan's best selling console of 2010. Congrats PSP!!!

I hope the good sales for Ni no Kuni in Japan will warrant a western release soon enough. Would love to see the PS3 version come here as well!

So much for PS3 > Wii this year. :lol
And PSP > DS might not happen depending on this week. :lol

PSP was the best selling console of 2010 in Japan. That is unless the week of 12/27/10-1/02/11 counts and DS sells about 20,000 more than PSP

Why wouldn't next week count? There are 52 weeks in a year.
perfectchaos007 said:
I'm not sure if this is the official criteria or not, but a week is counted into the year it has more days fall on.
December 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31 are all in 2010.
Only January 1 and 2 are in 2011.
Therefore, I would count next week (this week in reality) as part of 2010. Not sure if the trackers will see it that way, but that's how I would do it.

...and there's this very good and much simpler point too. :lol

It doesnt really matter honestly. DS > PSP this week, let PSP have 2010, DS has broken every record, and is literally on its way out the door. For it to just barely lose 2010 on the back of PSP's MH release when the DS is about to be replaced isn't really that big a deal tbh.

have you seen Sony PR in the US recently? it's so sad it's pathetic. They need to take this as a huge victory and run with it. "SONY WINS JAPAN IN 2010!!!" their headline should be no less sensationalist than that.

As far as I can tell, Japanese PR is never that immature.

Last year was 53 weeks though, if I'm not mistaken from media Create. So this year would be 51 to make up for last year.
Again, I could be mistaken, but I thought 09 had an extra week of tracking.

Nintendomination once again for Christmas. It shocks me that it's 2010 and there were still people on GAF who doubted it would happen (or, probably more accurately, hoped that it wouldn't happen).
Still can't believe what a beast MH is.

There's an extra 1.25 days in every year, so every 5-6 years will have 53 weeks.

Mario VS DK and Mario Sports Mix constantly surprise me with how well they keep holding on. Kirby bump seems to be sustaining too!
MH3P is well on its way to becoming the best-selling third-party game in Japan ever, isn't it? Another 700k-800k away from DQIX IIRC. Should be really easily doable with 1-2 weeks left of holidayish numbers and then whatever time is left until MHP3G hits.
And I'm surprised DKCR numbers actually went up that much considering what they were.. If it's doing this well in Japan, it might end up with a WW LTD of about 4-5m.

Wouldn't that make it Retro Studios' best-selling game?
Nirolak said:
I guess it depends on how much money sony and big n are willing to spend to secure the ip for their next systems. MHP 3 could sell for another 2 years with re-releases than they could release MHP 4 in 2012 for 3DS and/or PSP 2.

This is the scenario I'm imagining.cw_sasuke said:
Though, given that Sony has everything to lose and Nintendo doesn't have that much to gain, I'm expecting Sony to be willing to cough up whatever it takes, including literally paying the entire development and marketing budget of the game.
Nirolak said:
IMO the PSP has around 1 more year left in Japan, regardless of 3DS/PSP2. So I doubt they would miss the opportunity to release an MHP3G. Plus, big IPs have come out after the next-gen machine has been launched before, like God of War II. With such a large MH-ready userbase wanting more content, it would seem like a natural to me. Then they can take some time to work on a true next-gen MHP4 for 3DS and/or PSP2.
I imagine there might be an attempt to get a MHP3 on the 3DS as well. Partly because Nintendo did a lot of work for the Wii game outside of Japan, and partly because everyone wants in on the "LOL it's the third game and it's three-dee, get it?" as seen with Kingdom Hearts 3D, MGS3(D), and Paper Mario 3D.
