Systems can be a success even against much bigger opposition. PSP's biggest problem is that they banked on it with home console-like upfront losses and home console-like budgets, but are getting the usual handheld tie ratios.Akia said:
Wow, lots of numbers this week eh, neo. Thanks for posting them.
I'm disappointed that 360 didn't sell more hardware this week with so many new games out. I guess a lot of them are really hardcore titles that will sell to existing owners... still, it is ahead of GBASP, GBM, GC, and GBA all in one week
It's obvious that the DS is the only thing that matters in Japan right now (and PSP to a lesser extent).
So now we look to 28 Sept as the next possible spike, I guess.

Next spike in X360 sales or DS?Jonnyram said:Wow, lots of numbers this week eh, neo. Thanks for posting them.

If you talk about DS then I think on 2 Sept Nintendo will release DS Lite Black, amirite?

If we're talking about spikes in DS sales, I'd look more to August (Final Fantasy III) first, then September.
Anyway, generalized comments about all the sales stuff Neo's provided:
-While I understand it's all unconfirmed and unofficial, I really wish new threads would get created for these numbers. I mean, they haven't been wrong yet, and it's just weird to -- every week now -- hold our new conversation in last week's thread so that the new thread, when it is created, is just dead.
-Awesome continued selling for Persona 3. Compared to the other games in the various Megaten-related series, it's doing quite well.
-Digimon Story is selling quite well. It looks like, aside from a few blips, RPGs on the system are starting to pick up moe steam. Also: Children of Mana has passed Sword of Mana in sales, and Mario & Luigi 2 is now only about 40k behind Superstar Saga. Naruto RPG 3 should sell about the same as Naruto RPG 2 (which outsold Naruto RPG on the GBA).
-Very nice continued sales for Loco Roco, Project Hacker. and Megaman ZX. All three of these games should pass 100k. Great to see that for an experimental game like Loco Roco; great to see Project Hacker doing comparably to the last graphic adventure game for the DS (Another Code), demonstrating that there's a real market for these games there; great for ZX, which will be outselling the last game in its series by a good margin.
-Very, very nice launch week for Mario Basket. Like I said before, this puts its first week sales only about 30k behind those of Mario Tennis on the GBA, so it'll be way, way outselling the recent games in the series. This is most likely exceeding Square Enix's expectations... good to see them get another hit. Also, its 110k is higher than Children of Mana's 103k, so if it can maintain comparable longevity, we're probably looking at another 300k seller for Square Enix.
-Ouch for Mushi 2! :lol Everyone had been saying "Mushi DS was just a port, wait for Mushi 2 to see some really good sales," but I think the kiddos are just tired of beatle tournaments now!

look at the awful software sales
thanks neo!
tamagotchi's off to a great start and mario 3 on 3 has sold well. the cooking software has continued good numbers, nearly 200k already is great. pokémon ranger has sold very well, looks like it will end up over 700k. also, mph sales are impressive, heading to 100k for a fps in japan is surprising.
nice spike for the psp this week, but like many have said the software sales are still poor. maybe gng will help, it sounds good.
according to gamefront famitsu's chart for 24-30 july looks like this:
1. (NEW) Tamagotchi no Puchi Puchi Omisecchi Gohi-Kini (NDS, Bandai Namco)
2. (NEW) Sengoku Basara 2 (PS2, Capcom)
3. ( 3 ) New Super Mario Bros. (NDS, Nintendo)
4. (NEW) Mario Basket 3 on 3 (NDS, Nintendo)
5. (NEW) Kamaitachi no Yoru 3 (PS2, Sega)
6. ( 2 ) Shaberu! DS Oryouri Navi (NDS, Nintendo)
7. ( 3 ) Kahashima Ryuuta Kyouju Kanshuu: Motto Nou o Kitaeru Otona DS Training (NDS, Nintendo)
8. (NEW) Derby Stallion P (PSP, Enterbrain)
9. ( 4 ) Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu 13 (PS2, Konami)
10.(NEW) Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix Max (PS2, Bandai Namco)

No faith in FFIII?
Barf_the_Mog
powerless or are they? o_O
People will be crushed when FF III sales get released. No, It won't sell over 500k units in its first week....it won't even sell over 300k (1st week). Jonnyram is right in not mentioning any spike in August.
cvxfreak said:No faith in FFIII?
At this point.. let's just say I am really, really eager to see how FFIII does. I'm still betting on slightly over a million total, but it'll be good to finally see that play out.
It's been an article of faith for a long while now that FFIII is the holy grail of third party DS "real games" -- aside from being the keystone of future Square Enix support. There's a lot riding on the game, and there have been so, so many predictions about how it'll fare, I'm at the point where I really just want to get to the finishing line on it to see how it does.
Barf_the_Mog said:
Well, stockholders at both Square Enix and Nintendo had high expectations for it -- both were actually concerned there wouldn't be enough DSL supply for the game's demand. And Square Enix and Nintendo executives both had high expectations. And now, going by the retailer preorders, retailers in Japan have pretty high expectations, too (450k retailer preorders is a lot).
So I don't expect to be crushed, and I think we will see a spike in August. Exactly how big is yet to be determined, but 300k in its first week is a more than reasonable figure.

Very interesting. If this is due to LocoRoco, I'm a little surprised considering that picture showing the drastic price drop in Japan. Maybe all the LocoRoco advertising had a side effect of reminding Japan "Hey! The PSP is still here!"
I'm a little dissappointed that this seems to be dropping. Hopefully, it'll pick up again.

The regular DS has seemed to get some new influx every 3-4 weeks. If so, we should see this go up again in the next two weeks.

Can we expect the same apologetic post after FF3's release that you gave after NSMB's release?
Barf_the_Mog said:*sigh*
I kept putting you guys down for expecting such huge numbers. I predicted sub-300k numbers for its first week and told anyone who was predicting more that they were setting themsselves up for disappointment.
Barf_the_Mog
powerless or are they? o_O
GreenGlowingGoo said:
No. In the FF III prediction thread I've already given a reasonable guess of almost 1 million units sold. The reason I apologized over NSMB was because I was completely off the mark. I don't think I will be this time.... Okay, if the game looks like it will sell over 2 million units THEN I will apologize.

I'm thinking there's a good chance it wont sell 500k copies because there's only going to be 450k at retail. Maybe people will break down the doors to Square Enix's production facilities?

Most of the games sales here disgust me. Like Bomberman, CoM, Crash, MuSHIKING etc. But otherwise, they are at least starting to pick up (b^.^)b

Too bad it'll get cancelled out when your prediction that FFIII will barely sell more than CoM in its first week falls through.

I knew it'd be LttP to show up
Well I've been right other times (a lot of other times), just not on this board. I will admit though I do worry that my FFIII prediction might be debunked, especially after that one thread about 450,000 preorders.
Then again we'll wait and see. Until then, I WAS RIGHT *dances like a little kid*. And I was right about those 3rd party sales, struggling legs for 3rd party games (Crash, Hacker, ZX, Naruto) and crap. However they are starting to get some OK sales considering their budget and advertisements.
