Actually another interesting question is whether Demon's Souls can break 100K lifetime without a Best of reissue.
40K debut // 40K
22K second week // 62K
15K third week // 78K
If it continues on this path it'll definitely reach 90K units, and the last 10K will be painful to reach.
I think 100K units is still a bomba in terms of cost-profit returns for next-gen games. I REALLY want to know what Sony and From Software were thinking when they did this.

harSon said:Demon's Soul probably sold more units in its 3rd week then Ninja Blade has in its life time
What happened to all the posters who were supposedly excited about it though? I recall the reveal thread with the FMV that some posters claimed/argued were in-game. Not a whimper after the bomba.

The producer was thinking he's King's Field fan and wanted a new one. So he went to FS and had them work on a game that's similar to it. It's not like it had a massive budget or even a huge marketing campaign.

Mario & Luigi RPG 3 (3432) has a much bigger first week than either of its predecessors. However, it probably can't remain this much ahead. Since it's not a holiday release it probably won't have the huge week 2 of December release Partners in Time (212) or the big weeks 6 & 7 of November release Superstar Saga (1150).
Among my records for releases on PS2-and-later systems, PS3 Street Fighter IV has the best Street Fighter first week, narrowly beating out PS2 launch title Street Fighter EX 3. Of course, if you add in the X360 Street Fighter IV, it becomes a little less narrow. PS3 SF IV also beats out the known totals for all the Street Fighter releases since EX3.

Street Fighter games since 1996 with higher first weeks:
PS1 Street Fighter Zero 2 - 350K (539K)
PS1 Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha - 108K (204K)
PS1 Street Fighter Alpha 3 - 271K (504K)
SAT Street Fighter Zero 2 - 181K (310K)
SAT X-Men vs. Street Fighter - 98K (194K)
Street Fighter Zero on PS1 and SAT probably did, too, but I don't trust the weekly calculated totals that far back. The SAT version did get to 291K LTD, though.

It'll be just about on par with week 2 of PiT on week 2, so it should beat it eventually. SSS will be a hard one to pass though. It'll depend on how much of a boost Golden week gives it.JoshuaJSlone said:Mario & Luigi RPG 3 (3432) has a much bigger first week than either of its predecessors.

First Week (LTD %)
GBA Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - 64K (14.5%)
NDS Mario & Luigi 2 - 133K (31.9%)
NDS Mario & Luigi RPG 3!!! - 220K
I don't think the first week for Mario & Luigi 3 will be > 50% of the LTD total, based on 1) Mario games, 2) Nintendo games, and 3) this particular series. If the first week total is 50% of the LTD, it would still be the best-selling of the three.

Yeah I agree with you, but as JJS mentioned we gotta take into account the timing of the previous releases, but it shouldn't have a big impact on the LTD. Software sales in general aren't as great also, so that's another hurdle it's got to pass. I'm happy the series has become bigger, I've always wondered why it hasn't sold more since it's such a well polished series and has Mario and RPG rolled into one. Hopefully this gives Nintendo incentive to team up with SE again for a new Mario RPG collaboration.donny2112 said:

it's on the 360 so people don't go out of their way to champion it?
that being said i'm 99% sure demon's souls is the better game (i'm loving it) but by the same token i'm 99% sure ninja blade is at least a solid and fun game (i might grab it when it hits 3000y or so).

Is Yakuza 3 the only HD console game that have sold more compared to the previous games in a serie? At least when it comes to 3rd party release.Spiegel said:

Not in Japan. No way. Unlike in the US, MGS2 is did not outsell all other games in the series by leaps and bounds. In Japan, MGS1 sold the least, and MGS2 and 3 sold about the same amount (under a million). MGS4 has sold about as much as MGS1 did, maybe more by now, but it still falls short of MGS2 and 3.

Yakuza games usually have long legs, we'll see how far Yakuza 3 will last. It's certainly an impressive first week number.
EDIT
Ah, beaten

Do your figures include the re-releases for each of MGS, MGS2 and MGS3?
MGS4 has not had its re-release, if it will ever have one.
Spiegel said:
Whoah. "Best editions" are just priced lower right, without any additional content?
That adds up to
Yakuza 1 - 130K First Week | 829K LTD (with best edition)
Yakuza 2 - 282K First Week | 775K LTD (with best edition)
Yakuza K - 178K First Week | 270K LTD
Yakuza 3 - 357K First Week | ??
