Japanese video game daily sales numbers?

While E3 has caught the attention-span of everyone, let's not forget the overseas war between the two handhelds that has not been updated since last week.

Where are the daily numbers? Weekly numbers?
 
Ouch, according to Dengeki, hardware sales fell to 86,000 this week. If we say the little guys(GBA, GC) sold 16,000 between them, that leaves only 70,000 for the big 3. In other words, the DS, ps2 and psp averaged a miserly 23,000 each. Looks like someone is going to feel some pain. I'd wager the ps2 held out at 30,000 what with it having the top game, and being the monster that it is. That would mean the DS and psp averaged around 20K each. Whatever the case, there probably will be some major damage control going on from somewhere.

Technically Nintendogs was the top selling game again AFAICS (All be it in 3 version)

IMO it looks like DS will probably be the top selling system again, with PS2 second and PSP third.
 
First post in the thread is wrong, Nintendogs total was 31K. 12K for Shiba, the other two between 9-10K. So actually equal first. Your point still stands, DS software was again strong with both Wario and Mario outselling Hotshots, and of course the top DS games doing really well.

Regardind the GBA/GC numbers, I could see the GC as low as 3-4K. With the GBA, its been averaging 14K recently and was a whole 22K last week. Hence around 11-12K doesn't seem too unrealistic. It definitely won't fall to 5-6K levels, hence worst case I see is 12K between them.

Still, that puts the average at less than 25K for the main systems. my prediction, 28K, 24K, 22K for the ps2, DS and psp respectively.
 
Last week was a dead week... there's very little point in even discussing it.
The DS and PSP were only 1000 apart, and there were very few new games. Front Mission Online is just about the only new thing that got released last week, and that didn't sell as well as Nobunaga Online or MinGol Online. Thanks to the huge sales over Golden Week, we'll probably have a lull period for a couple of weeks or more.

Little point in discussing it eh? You know, if you'd have just said the PSP outsold the DS by 1000 units for the week, this thread would have exploded. Heh.

Slow week, and DS just edges out PSP.

I saw PS2 and immediately read that as PSP.

Wow. That was a terrible weak all-around. GC's gonna be pulling Xbox numbers soon.

9. DS Nintendogs: Chihuahua & Friends - 7,941
10. PSP Derby Time - 5,904

Another 28,373 for the puppies.
 
Media Create about sales this week:
Sales of the top 100 titles totaled 286,614 units, 49.63% of last week's total and 36.31% of the weekly average. The period immediately following Golden Week saw a decline in customers, and as such, sales hit a record low. Until now, the lowest recorded sales figure was 297,843 units for Week 3, October 2001. This week's figure was indeed the worst to be seen in roughly three and a half years.

"What about systems? Has the DS finally overtaken the PSP?"

Where have you been?
I think he meant for the YTD total and the answer is no.

YTD / LTD
DS - 835,003 / 2,330,599
PSP - 846,073 / 1,328,325
DS Lead - 1,002,274

AniHawk and I differ by 100 on the DS LTD but I'm pretty sure I'm correct. Can someone else double check?

NA version will be online, unlike it's JPN counterpart.

Cool thanx for the info, that's another DS game I will be getting now. Megadrive multiplayer bomberman was the best, I can't resist an online one.

NA sales +1.
That's not guaranteed. All that's been announced is "an" online Bomberman, not that the US version of Bomberman will be online.
