[sixteen-bit]

Is Mass Effect fully localized in Japanese or are there English voices?

thats one way to spin the numbers :lol

You should have a bright future in Redmond.

 

[lo zaffo]

I don't know why Winning Eleven 2009 can't sell to Wii's 8 millions homes. It is a Wiimote enabled game after all.

 

[Drkirby]

Heh, looks like the DS passed the PS2 in Japan a while ago.

 

[shykyoichi]

Love the format.

[rockman zx]

Go Valkyria.

 

[Sage00]

That seems pretty awful for Growlanser to be honest. I realise it's only a PS1 port and it doesn't have the brand recognition of something like Persona, but I still expected more. All the PS2 games opened at 40-70k.

Still not sure if the Made in Ore "bomba" comments were justified (compared to other Made in Wario games). On one hand, it seems to be holding it's place in the charts firm and probably will do for a long while. But is it only making it because the charts are so low, or is the reason it is low because everything is down including itself, and would it retain its position in any case?

Famitsu had the game at 30k

And...

[PSP] Growlanser (Atlus) - 30k
Pretty good too, healthy weekend unlike Persona and barely down from the last main entry, updated code rehash ahead:

[The_lascar]

27 254 in first week for the last Growlanser PS2. (Media Create)

 

[Sage00]

Famitsu had the game at 30k

And...

I half expected PSP to turn around the franchises falling sales, rather than sell less than the 6th PS2 game. I suppose that's down to it being a port rather than a new game though, maybe I was being too harsh.

 

[NetMapel]

That Powerful Pro Baseball Major League 2009... is that MLB Power Pro 2009 ? If so, when is it coming out in North America ? I have the 2007 and 2008 version and loved the game. Are they gonna be making a yearly edition of that game like all the EA sports games now ?

 

[Johann]

Is Mass Effect fully localized in Japanese or are there English voices?

If I'm looking at the right video, it looks like it's English voice-overs.

 

[Spiegel]

Also the game is ~1000Y more expensive (6090Y) than your usual psp game (~5040Y).

Persona sells for 5229Y and includes the game soundtrack

 

[Rapping Granny]

Like the new look, much easier on the eyes.

Am I reading it wrong or is the PS3 really outselling the Wii so far this year?

 

[sixteen-bit]

If I'm looking at the right video, it looks like it's English voice-overs.

I figured. Probably not worth the investment otherwise.

 

[batbeg]

Yay! 3000 copies of Takt of Magic! Bring that shit on over Nintendo, like you always do!

Spoiler

For some sort of reference, does anyone have LostMagic's numbers?

 

[Jackano]

C'est ton moment de gloire Oscar! Un thread officiel sur GAF! Bravo! :lol


Oh, and this week sucks.

 

[donny2112]

I'm surprised no one picked up on this, yet.

Wii > PS3 + 360

Spoiler

crap > worse crap + worser crap

 

[BishopLamont]

These sales + first day sales are all so depressing. Only the DS and PSP is putting up somewhat of a fight.

 

[SilverLunar]

WII Tact of Magic (Nintendo) - 3,000 (15%)

This has "bomb" written all over it, there is pretty much no hype, no media coverage, and no advertising as far as i see, it will never get localized too (maybe in EU but it is faretched)

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=15501772&postcount=67 :lol

 

[jeremy1456]

Looks like Wii is back to outselling PS3 again.

In a month that YTD lead will be completely gone.

 

[Sadist]

Damn you for releasing Winning Eleven Wii so late Konami. It's one of the best sport games I've played this gen. Show it more love damnit.

 

[charlequin]

God, the Japanese market is brutal right now. 41k for the top game? It wasn't that long ago that we were getting 41k for the #10 slot.

 

[d[-_-]b]

Another boring week.

KH, WSR, MH3 and DQIX can't come soon enough



No?

WSR?

 

[Vinci]

WSR?

Wii Sports Resort.

 

[batbeg]

WSR?

Wii Sports Resort.

 

[Jokeropia]

PS2 LTD is ~21.5 million, not ~25 million.

 

[Moor-Angol]

NDS Ora ga Omae o Mamoru (Idea Factory) - 1,000 (20%)

Ore...

gamefaqs translations suck

 

[*Guaraná]

depressing numbers allover the lace...

 

[shykyoichi]

I think no one is going outside. Swine Flu.

 

[Acosta]

Wii keeps being a graveyard for bombs, it´s pretty clear the traditional videogames public is not here.

The home console market is totally dead in general, really depressing. My hopes of seeing some kind of reactivation leaded by any system are near to zero. I'll follow with interest the MH3 tri sales and the reaction to a redesigned and probably cheaper ps3 combined with FFXIII (I guess both factors will be close in time), but I'm pessimistic on both fields.

 

[gantz85]

I think no one is going outside. Swine Flu.

The funniest thing is if they're staying at home they could've been playing their games more often... :lol As it stands they can't go outside to buy them.. :lol

 

[bycha]

Valkyria and Demon's Souls sales will be pretty good with this kinda legs.

 

[swerve]

I hope Takt of Magic starts getting the word-of-mouth sales it deserves (I'll be doing my bit). A really nice, polished and unique game.

Everything is a graveyard for bombs right now. No need to single out the Wii.

 

[lo zaffo]

I agree, but being Wii the leading platform, it has more responsibility. Blue ocean prophecy is killing a lot of business: Chun soft's Shiren 3 and 428, Konami's Winning Eleven, every jRPG up until now, significant part of 1st party offer. I share Acosta's pessimism.

 

[Shouta]

Well, it's a PS1 port with a lot of stuff story content added. But honestly, wasn't expecting it to sell all that much on the first week or two. The games themselves do pretty well overall though.

 

[cvxfreak]

Sales-Age is dying along with Japanese sales. :lol

This summer can't get here soon enough. (Wii Sports Resort, DQIX, MH3, Pokemon GS remakes)

 

[Acosta]

Everything is a graveyard for bombs right now. No need to single out the Wii.

Wii is the leader platform, so yes, I "need" to single out that. Bigger userbase, bigger responsability on the state of things.

 

[kswiston]

What is the next significant release (for any platform) worth caring about? Low numbers, few worthwhile releases, and unexciting Friday numbers have really killed these threads.

At least backlogs the world over are being given a chance to shrink.
