I knew there was a reason I liked the Russians. Good taste in women and handhelds.

If those numbers are correct, Russia is a ridiculously small market for videogames. 142 million inhabitants and fewer systems sold than Sweden with only 9 million?

January 2010

Little help from bttb needed, if possible. =P

Heavy Rain was launched on week 8. If that was February's last week, its total up to week 10 is 137,000.

Also, the post on 2ch has some LTDs, but for WFP, for instance, it doesn't match the added monthly figures (1,049k x 1,147k). Is Famitsu now informing that or has the person who posted the info added it wrongly (or got the LTD from somewhere else)?

Thanks.

Am I the only one who feels that NSMB Wii is somewhat underperforming in the UK? Maybe it's too early to judge...

NSMB Wii has sold a minimum of 730k in the UK - only 25 games this generation have broken 600k, only 11 have broken 1m - and it sold more in February than in January. The UK, and Europe in general, has never been a particularly good territory for Nintendo historically - it's been Sony and Sega before it for the most part until the Wii - and I would guess that 730k is not a kick in the face off being more than the Gamecube or N64 reached in total install base in the UK. I'd say it's doing fine :)

TV adverts over easter will see it continue to do just fine. Still not finished it yet!!

It's an untapped market. China is an even smaller market considering it's size and population.

eastern europe has a lot lower average pay than western europe, and yet, we pay more for games and consoles.

if average pay is 300-400 Euros per month, then you can hardly expect someone to spend 350-400 Euros on PS3 or 360.

Not to mention paying 70-75 Euros per game. Thats simply not going to happen.

There are a lot of gamers there though, mostly on PC. People are not used to paying for games, so even if PC games are relatively affordable with efforts to lower down their price compared to western europe, it is still easier to simply download the game. Same goes for movies/cd's. It is part of the culture/heritage where you could not purchase such work before at all and you would always get it on black market.

Article estimated 17 million "gaming capable" pc's in russia.

Yep, Microsoft bought the exclusive advertising rights for it. I'm quite surprised the split wasn't in favour of Microsoft as well. Looks like brand loyalty does matter after all.

Don't forget that the Ps3 version is better. Could also be a reason why that version is selling better.

I havnt tried either the PS3 version or the Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy 13, so i cant say which version that is the best from my own experience, but all the PS3 VS Xbox 360 version comparision of FF13 that i have seen said that the PS3 version looked better. Maybe there isnt a huge difference between how the PS3 and the Xbox 360 version looks, but i have read that there is some noticeable differences at least. Or were these impressions/comparsions from an earlier build of the Xbox 360 version of FF13 and not from the final build?

Surprisingly close split for FF13 360 vs. PS3. If the 360 version is selling that well, Square's gotta be feeling pretty good about the decision to put it there. Didn't really think a JRPG could sell that well on 360.

Oh, when he posted at the time I thought he had put the months for 2009, not 2010. Must read slower haha.

Famitsu does not provide LTD figures. The 2ch post has added extrapolated 2009 figures to non-extrapolated 2010 monthly figures.

I should have thought of it.

Thanks, donny and bttb. =)

I guess you can say it is underperforming compared to Japan and US. In these countries, NSMBWii is ahead of WSR and WFP:

JAPAN:
1. NSMBWii ~3.5 millon
2. WSR ~1.8 million
3. WFP ~1.7 million

US:
1. NSMBWii ~5.4 million
2. WSR ~5.1 million
3. WFP ~4.2 million

UK:
1. WSR ~1.7 million
2. WFP ~ 1.2 million
3. NSMBWii ~0.8 million

It says the game has sold (to retailers, I assume, because the number is beastly) 618.000 units across Spain and Portugal.

That seems... wrong.

I don't think even PES could ship that much first week there.

Yeah, but at least part of Russia is geographically close to Scandinavia. Still, maybe I shouldn't think of it as a western country in terms of development and culture.

FFXIII did quite well but it would have been more accurate with some more numbers. I'm not surprised seeing the xbox 360 version this close with the exclusive adverts and pimping rights it has. You'd almost think it's an xbox 360 exclusive here. Brand loyalty was strong enough or the comparison version has reached a lot of gamers to affect their decision?
Click to expand...

Hell, I bought my PS3 because of FFXIII. Now I decided to honor that decision.

I've just played the Heavy Rain demo this morning, it's a lot better than I thought it'd be, the fight is quite exhilarating! Might go purchase it.

Also I don't watch much tv, so I'm not really understanding exclusive advertising rights for microsoft on ff13? so sony weren't allowed to advertise it on tv? in newspapers? on posters? or are we just talking about that ff13 360 package?

That's debatable. China is already a bigger market then US in terms of PC gaming revenue, it's a bit hard to call that small anymore.

is it really? Or is it because we know of some subscription numbers in china, but not in usa?

I am sure China is bigger than most countries if all revenues are properly calculated in.

In Spain ads for Final Fantasy XIII were 360 only too.

I've seen PS3 branded ones too. The same ad for both, CG-only, Leona Lewis singing, 360 one showing its bundle at the end.

Its done on a country basis. For example UK must be getting an insane Just Dance promotion, but here it only had ads in December, and its never been on the monthly top10 (its been #8 in December, >#10 in January, and #6 in February in the Wii-only monthly top10).
