I thought Monster Hunter 3 was also due in June.

Am I just mistaken?

I actually tried to look it up but the release date is still a vague Summer 2009. I can'timagine it coming next month though... Probably August, but in my reply I'm counting only until end of July.

On the MH side you are left with a slightly upgraded port of a really old game that cannot work with the standard Wii controls that most people have :lol

And that's a plus.

The same as they're doing now: Advent Children on Blu-Ray. When I said 'align,' I meant in terms of removing the demos and placing it as product vs. product. The two products of these items are Advent Children and MH G. Anyone stating that AC wouldn't push the PS3's sales, in and of itself, is kidding themselves. The demo is icing to the cake.

Only gamers, specificially followers of FF intricacies, hard-core JRPG buffs you might call them, care about Advent Children. The movie has no appeal to a general audience. It doesn't even have proper character exposition or even a summary explanation of prior events in its world. It assumes you know who Cloud, Tifa, Sephiroth etc are. It's a movie that's bought by fans of FF, just like the demo is something only fans of FF would buy.

FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUmitsu :/

I'll post sinobi comparisons but since it uses those Famitsu numbers its a bit less interesting than it should...remember some of these new titles could have an extra day of sales because of their release date:

Dragon Ball on DS - First week comparisons:
December 2005: "Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2" - 42,000
March 2007: "Dragon Ball Z: Harukanaru Densetsu" - 62,000
September 2008: "Dragon Ball DS" - 88,000
April 2009: "Dragon Ball Kai: Saiyajin Raishuu" - 101,000

Shin Megami Tensei - First week comparisons:
January 2005: PS2 "DIGITAL DEVIL SAGA 2" - 55,000
March 2006: PS2 "Devil Summoner: Kuzunoha Raidou" - 56,000
July 2006: PS2 "Persona 3" - 127,000
April 2007: PS2 "Persona 3 Fes" 105,000
July 2008: PS2 "Persona 4" - 212,000
July 2008: PS2 "Devil Summoner: Kuzunoha Raidou 2" - 77,000
January 2009: DS "Megami Ibunroku: Devil Survivor" - 57,000
April 2009: PSP "Persona" - 95,000

Wario - First week comparisons:
March 2003: GBA "Made in Wario" - 100,000
October 2004: GBA "Made in Wario Twisted" - 108,000
December 2004: DS "Made in Wario Touched" - 118,000
December 2006: Wii "Odoru Made in Wario" - 63,000
April 2009: DS "Made in Ore" - 79,000

Now Pawapuro Major League 2009 (#4) comparison is more interesting since the numbers match pretty well between the different trackers. First week comparison for every Major League title to follow (Famitsu data as usual):

Code:

&#12288;&#9660;&#12288;Pawapuro Major League  	06.05.11  	PS2  	97,208

&#12288;&#9660;&#12288;Pawapuro Major League 4 	09.04.29 	Wii 	17,000

Took 3 entries on Wii to finally beat the only GC one, released in 2006 which sure wasn't GC strongest time. PS2 returns to #2 numbers but still far away from the first one.

Right, because their strategy was working. One shouldn't let one's mouth write checks their ass can't cash.

And don't flip this around to a "who could know that Wii Music would bomb" thing. The fact that Wii Music fails to deliver on a desirable expanded-market premise the way that Wii Sports and Wii Fit do was clear to plenty of people the day they announced it. They just fucked up and their software strategy is 100% dependent on every single expanded-market idea they have being solid-gold genius, when clearly they can really only deliver like 75% solid-gold genius. :lol

I know it's late, but I agree. I know personally, Wii Music was the very first "Wii" series game where I instantly thought "pass" and didn't even come close to reconsidering, and i'm a pretty open minded gamer.

Isn't this series much stronger on portables now? IIRC the PSP one sold over 200k last year, and NDS is even higher?

Fafalada said:

This is the sub series from the American league though. There isn't an equivalent on portables so to speak but yeah, both the PSP and DS sub series are now bigger than anything on consoles.

Pawapuro [Number] - its the main series, 15-years old, just on consoles (SNES, N64, PS2, Wii), this year they scrapped the number (15) for the first time in favor of 2009 on PS2 and NEXT on Wii, also moving its release from July to March. Future not too bright right now.

Pawapuro Baseball Ketteiban - December re-release for the main entries, just on consoles as well. In 2008 it was dropped for the first time in a really long time.

Pawapuro Portable - PSP sub series, 3 entries so far, the latest one did >300k surpassing all DS/GBA games and the latest entry (14) from the main series on PS2. Highest right now.

Pawapuro Major League - American league, only on consoles (PS2, GC, Wii), 4 entries with the latest '2009' one, that scrapped using 4.

Pawapuro [Year] - PSX entries were yearly numbered, N64 got the numbered ones but this sub-series so to speak sold the best for Pawapuro ever (Pawapuro 99 did >750k). It also had Ketteiban releases on December.

Pawapuro Kun Pocket - GB/GBA/DS sub series, very often on the 200-300k range, 10th on DS did the best ever for this sub series with 275k, 11th on DS was already released and its still selling (we saw it not long ago) at about 225k now.

It's not that they're more accepted, we just tend to use them because they're released (officially) first. All trackers are considered more or less equal.

Famitsu also has been tracking the Wii at more stable levels (still shit sales), Media-Create is where the biggest decline was seen on a more consistent basis.

So I guess things are finally back to normal if only by 1k in Famitsu :lol

okay but that was still almost six months ago. they have not released ANYYYYTHING since then.

Not exactly hits, but after City Folk and through the Famitsu week starting April 6 they've got 5 charting new Wii releases that sum up to over 400K. Not a good half for a Nintendo, but I'm sure we could find a publisher or two wishing they could do that on any platform. Sony's two PS3 games in the same period (White Knight Chronicles and Demon's Souls) have done as well, though.

Based on the latest Famitsu hardware numbers...
PSP comparisons: After 228 weeks, PSP is where PS2 was at 180.8 weeks (August 16, 2003), where DS was at 99.9 weeks (October 28, 2006), and where GBA was at 154.0 weeks (February 29, 2004).

X360 comparisons: After 176 weeks, X360 is where GCN was at 16.7 weeks (January 4, 2002), where PS3 was at 37.0 weeks (July 22, 2007), and where Wii was at 5.2 weeks (January 1, 2007).

PS3 comparisons: After 128 weeks, PS3 is where PS2 was at 43.9 weeks (December 30, 2000), where PSP was at 65.8 weeks (March 1, 2006), where GCN was at 120.9 weeks (January 3, 2004), and where Wii was at 34.1 weeks (July 23, 2007).

Note that the big PS3 week did push it into GCN 2004 territory, but it hasn't yet caught up to GameCube.

Wii comparisons: After 125 weeks, Wii is where GBA was at 95.4 weeks (January 15, 2003), where DS was at 76.5 weeks (May 17, 2006), where PS2 was at 114.3 weeks (May 7, 2002), and where PSP was at 163.1 weeks (January 20, 2008).

DSi comparisons: After 25 weeks, DSi is where GBASP was at 44.7 weeks (December 19, 2003) and where DSL was at 14.5 weeks (June 7, 2006).

Famitsu Software Stuff

A few sequels fail to do much this week.

Well, the latest Pokémon Mystery Dungeon is really a third version rather than a sequel, but whatever it is it doesn't start off anywhere near as well.

Deca Sporta 2 (3502) is a sequel, and has a first week about 1/8 of the first game (2823).

Mario & Luigi RPG 3 (3432) remains in the top 5. This is its first week below 20K, though.

Taiko no Tatsujin Wii passes 500K.

The Valkyria Chronicles BEST rerelease does even better this week.

3498+-+Valkyria+Chronicles+%28PlayStation+3+The+Best%29+-+PS3

Some of the top 30 was below 4,000 this week. The last time that happened was the week of October 13, 2008. It was actually pretty common from April through October last year, though prior to that it had't happened since 2006.

Famitsu Software Pie note: DS had over 50% of software sales this week. Though it is usually on top, this is the first time it's had over half since November.

Taiko is a creepy monster, it will reach 700k at the very least :x

Blimey - I hadn't realised quite how much Inazuma had sold. That's a pretty nice number, and I'll be interested to see if it results in better upfront sales for the sequel.

Then maybe it's just when big games tend to be released that push it up. Looking at the yearly charts, it's pretty easy to see where Golden Week is based on hardware bumps for past years. This year? I may need to make a note. :lol

Here's a chart showing the PS2 vs. WII MHG numbers directly.

They should have waited some weeks since MHG seems to sell decent right now. And I doubt giving a fix releasedate for MH3 will help MHGs sales. Thats all I´m saying.

At this rate it should easily hit the half million mark by the time its sequel arrives in October. With such strong, prolonged sales surely Nintendo has ear-marked this for a future release, even if it's just in Europe.

Who are the upcoming brides to be? I guess DQ, GT, and no idea if there is anyone interested in the 360. It may just have to hope the PS2 dies from old age to win by default. The PS3 seems to have the most honeymoons in its future.

16. [PS3] Killzone 2 (SCE) - 7,900 / 66,000

Go go.

Nintendo will be the big winner in the next few months:
June: WiiSports Resort
July: Dragon Quest 9
August: Monster Hunter 3 Tri
September: Pokemon Gold/Silver

So basically, when there is no new software released or any new games have already dry up, the charts show the normal movement of slow-burners, mostly on Nintendo consoles.

Well, WiiFit had a 35% increase

Ok, so maybe it was that nobody released any compelling new games this year, so only old games got a minor bump. :lol

They actuallly gave the month? I thought it was just Fall. September makes sense, though, as I think that's when Diamond/Pearl and Mystery Dungeon 2 were launched.

Historically Golden Week was never a big week. It just tends to be overrated on the internet. This isn't a holiday where lots of gifts and presents are bought.

it's great that you're an expert in japanese culture, but game sales factually have spiked the last several golden weeks. whether that's a result of better announcement timing or something intrinsic to golden week doesn't really matter--we're used to sales spiking and they didn't this year.

Then maybe it's just when big games tend to be released that push it up. Looking at the yearly charts, it's pretty easy to see where Golden Week is based on hardware bumps for past years. This year? I may need to make a note. :lol

This is 2005's Golden Week:

System: Aktuell Vorwoche +/- Veränderung [Gesamt 05]

NDS: 67'836 (64'247) + 3'589 [808'420]
PS2: 38'629 (40'471) - 1'842 [867'453]
PSP: 33'981 (38'778) - 4'797 [820'635]
GSP: 22'633 (14'616) + 8'017 [302'671]
GCN: 5'655 (6'125) - 470 [105'229]
GBA: 431 (448) - 17 [10'025]
Xbox: 169 (271) - 102 [6'917]

2004:

GSP: 61'087 (43'700) + 17'400 [1'147'000]
PS2: 52'281 (45'000) + 7'300 [1'142'400]
GCN: 9'416 (5'800) + 3'600 [347'600]
GBA: 4'501 (3'500) + 1'000 [130'500]

In 2006 the DS had a huge bump, but that was because Nintendo shipped much more than the weeks before. The rest had normal 20-30% bumps like almost every year:

Nintendo DS Lite 225.835 168.809 1.222.381
Nintendo DS 42.695 8.051 818.519
PSP 40.884 32.323 682.606
PlayStation2 29.837 25.763 559.816
Game Boy Advance SP 8.225 11.044 120.083
Game Boy Micro 5.034 18.390 85.501
Xbox 360 2.845 3.990 44.124
Gamecube 1.126 1.106 45.880

2007:

Nintendo DS Lite 285.123 255.971 2.886.428
Wii 101.320 102.522 1.452.072
PSP 35.172 33.860 839.395
PlayStation2 14.815 12.584 324.604
PlayStation3 12.974 12.791 417.056
Xbox 360 3.205 3.162 93.550
Gamecube 394 167 6.763
Game Boy Micro 340 630 18.350

This years bump is pretty much normal.

@stumpokapow: I just presented facts, where are yours?

markatisu · May 13, 2009

MHG should finally be ~100% of that bad 1st shipment. Hopefully Capcom learned that the Starter Pak or something similar is what everyone wanted

From the looks of this weeks Famitsu issue they have because they have some sort of special edition of MH3 coming out

Wastes hours checking old Famitsu software data, but that's why we love him.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
