Hahah how can Pocket Station have sold at a faster rate the PSP? That's horrid! Honestly, I'm suprised pocket station ever sold that much.... Did it have any use other then that random thing in FFVIII? That's the only time I heard of it. :-/

It was more or less like a memory card, and priced around the same (launch price was 3000 yen = US $25-30). I'm guessing most people also bought it either along with FFVIII (the game came out just a couple of weeks after Pocketstation) or simply as a memory card since it was only used with a handful of titles (Metal Gear Solid Integral and Street Fighter Zero 3 being the most notable ones). So yeah, it's a silly and pointless comparison.

Woah, there are 5 3rd Party DS games up there. I think this fall will be more of a 3rd Party one than last year. It starts at the end of July when Mushiking DS and Tamagotchi 2, both might sell over 500k. In August there is Final Fantasy 3, over a million is possible. Then for the rest of the fall there is Tales of the Tempest, Gyukaten Saiben, Rock Man ZR (or what ever the next Battle network game is), and then there is Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker. Pheonix Wright should sell over 200,000. Tales of the Tempest should sell 300,000-500,000. Rockman ZR should sell 500,000-700,000. Dragon Quest Monsters could sell near a million.

You're right. Weird, GameFront's usually more reliable than that!

Yeah, there should be a nice number of third party hits coming up, led by FF3 and Tamagotchi 2. DQ Monsters should be a huge smash.

I think, however, that Mushking and Tales of the Tempest are going to disappointingly underperform, though. And while GS4 and Rebirth ZN will probably pull in decent numbers, I'm afraid they'll probably still sell less than their GBA counterparts, which is also disappointing. And there are going to be a lot of third party DS bombs coming up... I think a lot of games like Rune Factory, Shiren's Mysterious Dungeon,

Personally, I'm just desperately hoping for good numbers from Yggdrasil Labyrinth and Archaic Sealed Heat.

Ok. So you people who are in the know, are these more or less than expected for each game?

Here are the latest entry for each series (I'm using Rockman Zero for Rockman ZX)

317,357 Tekken 5 (Namco) (3/31/05) - through Dec 25/05
10,949 Tekken 5 (PlayStation 2 the Best) (Namco) (11/2/05) - through Nov 27/05

256,412 Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Bose (Namco) (6/24/04) - through Jan 2/05

65,341 Rockman Zero 4 (Mega Man Zero 4) (Capcom) (4/21/05) - through June 26/05


Based on these, Rockman ZX and Xenosaga seem to holding up the best in terms of their predecessors, however, Rockman Zero was a GBA title, whereas Tekken and Xenosaga were both PS2 titles.

I'm not in the know, but X2 sold 250k so X3 start sounds very solid. Tekken 5 did little over 300k so for a portable version it doesn't sound as a bad start.
Rockman ZX start sounds good, Zero was on a decline from 230k to 75k on GBA, so the start is good and it should have legs just like Zero.

There'll definitely be a big drop for Xenosaga Episode III compared to Episode II, though. Its sales are going to plummet next week.

Looking at those Zero numbers, this is a very, very good start for ZX, I'd say. It'll probably end up with first week sales comparable to Zero 3, which means it's reversed a downward trend... definitely a promising sign. If it holds longer legs than the Zero games did (thanks to the random and unpredictable DS Effect), then it may end up doing way better, too.

Nothing compared to 440k -> 250k. With 90k on release date, 150k is very likely, and 200k not out of reach when all is said.

Oh, yeah, I'm not saying it'll be a total sales disaster, or that the drop will be as severe as I to II. I'm just saying I think there is definitely going to be a very noticable drop between II and III. I don't think it'll hit 200k, personally.

Archie said:
Well I guess third parties do perform better on the PSP. Cue 5+ more pages!

Seriously.

Mega Man ZX: 25k
Irregular Hunter X: 12k

I think IHX will catch up to ZX in no time flat.

Wow.
New Super Mario Bros beat out all the new games...
And it looks like Tekken DR didn't really get much besides the first day sales.
And Rockman ZX got slightly more, but still not very impressive.

I don't think so... I'd say ZX's numbers are good. It didn't go quite as high as Zero 3, but it was considerably higher than the first week sales for Zero 4. I'd consider that an impressive turnaround given that the series' sales have been in a downward spirla since the first game.


NDS New SMB - 134568
Amazing. It just keeps steamrolling over everything. Is this game going to say #1 until FF3?

PS2 Xenosaga III - 123847
Good launch. Higher than I expected -- not really such a big drop from Episode II's launch sales. I still hold to my prediction that the game's going to absolutely plummet next week, though.

Mega-ouch for Brave Story, and continued disappointment over Magical Vacation 2's performance. :(

Oh whoops, I only looked at the bolded numbers from your post about the other Zero games. But now I realize those are the LTD's yes?
In which case, yeah it is actually performing strongly.

Wowzer NSMB. Thats like 2.2million now?
Seems like its only drop 20k-ish units from previous week with every chart release in the past weeks.
Next week looks to be about 110k I guess.

Not bad for Tekken: DR.

And MARIO IS GOING TO STOP SELLING AFTER THE FIRST WEEK, LOOK AT ALL THE USED COPIES AVAILABLE.

Wait, no.

The nerdiest nerd of all the nerds in nerdland
in about 6 weeks time the DS could have three 3 million sellers already - NSMB, ACWW, BT2 o_0

But perhaps those games will slow slightly once FFIII hits...and Pokemon. Jeez, DS is going to have the best hardware and software year Japan has ever seen.

This game is almost 4 months in the chart (out on 23rd March) and is going to sell over 100k, but anyone noticed...

it's a 3rd party game and is selling more than the 1st party game for PSP, Kazuo

I love you neo.

When was the last time the DS was UNDER 100,000 units, and on top of that, when was the last time it was under 100,000 without shortages?

Just insane numbers for DS/NSMB.

Quite some momentum the psp got there, a couple grand more each week! Although, DSL still selling at production capacity o_O

Granted, this was in a week where there were shortage, I think, but the sales of the week 8. to 14. of may, the sales were;

Rockman ZX is a non-game. It's a game selling well on the DS, therefore making it a non-game, and it doesn't count as being a third party success.

Since shortages started at the beginning of January you'd have to go back to 11/14-11/20 2005 (65,341) for a <100K week.

Well, X3 and RZX seems to be consistent with 1st day sales but wtf...<50k for Tekken when 50k was 1st day? Taking both as true, it means Tekken is totally sold out or what?

Brave Story numbers are really poor...but its the movie already out?
