That might be a bit of a stretch. This week's 10 game sold ~50k copies. Not saying it can't, but a top 20 spot would be more in line. Of course I'd actually love for it to do even better, catch on, move even more hardware.....but that shall remain just a dream.

Hopefully Zelda will continue to sell throughout the Wii's lifetime.
In any case, I'm sure Nintendo is still quite happy with Zelda's performance in NA and Europe. I bet they expected it to do worse in Japan with its darker art style and increased difficulty. In any case, it's still too early to say it will do worse than WW.

Nintendo will go third party. Nintendo employees will get bored of dominating the market and Miyamoto-san will be more relaxed in his old age and will stop throwing chairs around. And they will need to go third party for a bit of entertainment to bring morale back up.

He doesn't throw chairs. He throws tea tables.Parl said:
It depends on how well #10 does, and how many of the hardware bundles continue to move (assuming the 80k includes them). I can see another 20k hardware bundles moving next week. Add in 10k more software copies and it's possible. But since the #10 game sold 55k this week, it's not likely. I'd say a drop to #15 is next. I just hope it hangs on the top 30 for a few weeks, moving the balance of those bundles.jimbo said:

You are correct. Deffinitely this doesn't boast confidence. That's why I always believed if BD was going to be huge it was going to be the type of game that takes time for it to catch on. So we'll see.
However I still would like some definite confirmation on whether or not this is 80k including the bundle or is this without the bundle? Or was that 80k number including the bundle first day sales only and this 80k number software only for the whole week a mere coincidence?
It is kind of strange that the game would take that kind of a drop in just one day.
And I think Sega will be another winner this holiday season
Love and Berry - 550k now and I think it will hit a million before summer 2007
Yakaza (The Best) - 200k for a Best-Price title, it is nearly FF, DQ level
Yakaza 2 - 270k first week, we may see 500k for its LTD
And Fushigi no Dungeon Fuurai no Siren is released today. It has decent pre-order number, should do at least 150-200k.
Sega should be very happy about this.

Although I don't think Sonic will pass 50k (360 and PS3 combined)

I do not think this really paints Zelda or blue dragon (next week) in a bad light.
Then numbers of consoles just are not as high for the 360 and Wii (and PS3 for that matter) and it does make a difference.
Hell for BD that is a large percentage of total 360s in Japan, same with Zelda.

He uphends tea tables, but he throws chairs when things aren't going right. I read it in an old interview he had with he old official Ninty mag in the UK from several years ago.
Nintendo NEED this S-class motivational and entertainment value; Miyamoto-san's chair throwing and aggressive influences will become subdued within the decade. EAD will die if they don't go third party.

You are right though, top 10.

Why the **** is Gundamn #1? Who buys these games, there hasn't been a good one since PS1.
[zelda spin]from what we know from Famitsu numbers, zelda only dropped around 5 percentage points in tie-ratio. the significant drop in all three titles (sports, play, zelda) can be attributed to less than 33% of last week's Wii shipment being shipped this week (or two weeks ago being shipped last week.. you know what I mean)[/zelda spin]
but seriously though. considering there are only ~450K Wiis in japan according to MC and Zelda has sold through to around 180K of those, that ain't too bad.

I think Zelda will see pretty consistent numbers as more Wii consoles get released. It did have a quicker drop off than I expected.

I was thinking the same thing, compared to other RPGs isn't that pretty low for a first week of sales considering the drop most RPGs have?IJoel said:
Hmm... another perspective is that, assuming 50K were sold to the existing userbase of under 200K units, well, it's a big success since it's more than 25% of the userbase in just 4 days.
I'd say the gauge of BD's success will be the weekly Xbox 360 sales and whether it'll be enough to keep the interest in the console alive, as time goes by.

BD 70k day one isnt for sure though is it? If it only sold 10 in 3 days it might not even sell 20k next week. Still it has the biggest opening of any 360 game in japan and will be #1 one on the platform. Its increased the RPG fanbase decently enough that Trusty Bel, infinite Undiscovery and Lost Odessy should do even better.
