This round is yours, Nintex.
However, what a bump!
its cheaper but I would put it on word of mouth the game and the multi-player are broad and fantastic.Nirolak said:Is there some kind of huge sale on Dirt 3 or are sales just rather low?
I mean, the game came out at the end of May.
Nuclear Muffin said:1 days worth of sales since the price drop and Zelda would be the first game to experience the bump...
Spiegel said:Was Saturday a holiday in UK?
Nuclear Muffin said:Nope, just a normal Saturday. Nintex is kinda jumping to conclusions here.
it doesn't sell that much to installed based. it sold 300K in two week and then 80K in a month (npd data).Rhindle said:That math doesn't follow. If say half of OoT weekly sales were going to the installed base and half to new buyers, then a 60% increase translates into about a 2x increase in weekly hardware sales.
I'll give it the benefit of teh doubt since it is only 2 days of sales, but still seems weak.

Spiegel said:Then the new price was in effect for two days, which is the typical amount of days for new releases.
Ridge Racer is better than both Pilotwings and Nintendogs, there's a ton of content there and it's certainly a game I'd label 'good'.walking fiend said:3. games aren't really that good and clearly show theirs being launch game; Ridge Racer having no online? WTF!
Elios83 said:It probably means that hardware sales doubled, so maybe not the response NIntendo was hoping for but it's a slow period for gaming sales.
As Iwata said 3DS fate will be decided during the next holyday season.
Maybe they can retry the core push in 2012 with Heroes of Ruin, Kid Icarus, Resident Evil: Revelations and all launching in the first half to create a compelling line-up of games for the core audience. Going by these really early reports it seems that the pricedrop had a bigger impact in Japan which is not a surprise considering they are ahead by couple of 'good' games(Layton, Star Fox, Abyss).
Oh and NoE should release the eShop cards, those are still not available it seems.
I believe for those interested in Ridge Racer, lack of online shows itself more than lack of content for those who are interested in Pilotwings.[Nintex] said:Ridge Racer is better than both Pilotwings and Nintendogs, there's a ton of content there and it's certainly a game I'd label 'good'.
Nintendo needs Mario Kart and Mario but those won't come out untill november/december. This would've worked much better if Mario Kart launched along with the pricedrop just like how OOT should've been available when the system launched. As for the more 'core-ish' approach they seem to have completely given up on it in 2011 given the lack of interest from Nintendo's side in games like Kid Icarus and games already out like Dead or Alive and Street Fighter. Which is why I don't get NOA's ads and NoE is doing this as well... they're advertising games like Metal Gear Solid and Mario Kart that are still months out. Right now they should focus on the titles that people can buy in stores. Sellling systems on 'potential' doesn't work, it didn't work for the GameCube or the PS3 and it won't work for the 3DS.

As far as I know the supermarkets are included, charttrack cover something like 95% of the marketJoeTheBlow said:The supermarkets had the best deals on games, and systems, by a very VERY long way. I don't know if Charttrack includes them.
Anyway, the price drop was from Friday, when was the cutoff? Maybe next weeks chart will be more informative.

3DS software is too expensive.Sho_Nuff82 said:Zelda is up 60%, outselling the closest 3ds title 5:1, and it's still sitting behind call of juarez. Okay.
walking fiend said:efore.
What's more interesting, is that till now the installed base seems to be more inclined toward a core game, rather than casual stuff.
Nintendo titles have assaulted the top 10, as niche 9/10 Wii-exclusive Xenoblade Chronicles turned up in seventh place.

Good to see that there's still some sanity left in this world!
