I am not sure those Smash Bros. numbers are accurate. Go check on how Zelda and Mario Galaxy did on their first way to get more accurate representation on how Smash did.

I'm happy that the three games releasing in this period that I most wanted to do well all did well, instead of a certain one of them murdering Tales and Haruhi.

(Incidentally, I'm guessing that out of the PSP, PS2, and Wii Haruhi games, none are/will be worth playing--though I'd love to be wrong--but I'd still like them to do well to prove that there's enough of a market to make the idea of developing more cost-intensive, worthwhile game projects down the line seem less risky. I know, I know. It's pretty optimistic thinking.)

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

Eight hundred and twenty thousand. I had to check twice to make sure I read that correctly.

How large was the DS userbase when NSMB was released? What were NSMB's first week numbers? I think the two launches are comparable events.

 

[CurseoftheGods]

Those SSB:B numbers are... not good.

[Lightning]

Hmm... decent sales for DMC4 PS3 version. Next week will be interesting to see if it has legs or will just fade away. Prostreet on the PS3 outsold the PS2 version? I lol'd.

 

[jett]

DMC4 :rawk

ah nvm I shouldnt critique others. ethel's a good guy

Someone forward this thread to Kyle orland. He needs a reality check

:lol Fantastic numbers for Smash. March 9 seems so far away.

They're not really comparable because the demand for Brawl is unknown.

It had a 95% sell-through, which means people were going on Easter-Egg hunts just to find it.

The sell through question was asked in the previous thread, but no answer was given. If NSMB had a similar sell-through, then that would make them more comparable I guess.

I'm still curious to your questions answers though

 

[Raw64life]

Brawl is on pace to outsell Melee, which was the best selling Gamecube game ever in Japan, by the end of the month.

Also, good numbers for DMC4, which I've spent the last couple of hours playing.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Yikes at those SSBB numbers.

 

[schuelma]

Why don't we stop putting words into ethelreds mouth. I'm sure he can speak for himself.

ugh who is that anime girl with the PS controller and why do I see avaitars of her all on this board

 

[Kintaro]

Good stuff for DMC4 and Disgaea 3 How much have previous Disgaea titles sold?

 

[Rezbit]

Holy Moly at Smash!

Also, gogo DMC4, PS3 and 360!

 

[Rancid Mildew]

Awesome. Out of all the sequels to the GCN 1st party titles on the Wii, Smash sports the most improvements and added features and now it looks like it will also experience the larger sales bumps.

 

[kassatsu]

How did Assassin's Creed do first week for the 360?

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

ugh who is that anime girl with the PS controller and why do I see avaitars of her all on this board

I would also like to know this. I've seen avatars, signatures and PSP themes all featuring this particular anime girl all over the net. Is this a popular anime? Why does it have such a fervent following?

 

[Captain Pants]

I think it is very cool that there are only two handheld games in the top ten this week. Console games making a comeback in Japan would be a welcome sight.

 

[Dragona Akehi]

Smash outsells the rest of the Top Ten combined.

 

[Snaku]

I guess this is Nintendo's "final smash."

 

[Ike]

Great numbers all around.

 

[DiddyBop]

afterschool boy bomba. they need to release it in NA now to make a profit....well,at least thats what i hope.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I think Smash has already outsold Galaxy.

 

[Kintaro]

I would also like to know this. I've seen avatars, signatures and PSP themes all featuring this particular anime girl all over the net. Is this a popular anime? Why does it have such a fervent following?

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is the name of the series. The girl is Haruhi herself. 13 episode series based on a series of light novels. Yes, it's a popular show. Why? It caters to many segments of the Otaku crowd with good animation and catchy segments and sequences (such as the dance at the end of each episode). It's an above average anime series IMO.

 

[reilo]

Well, that's it for Nintendo for 08 after Smash, no?

Spoiler

I KID YOU DON'T PUNCH ME

 

[HK-47]

Haruhi Suzumiya, the title character of the anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Very popular

 

[Ether_Snake]

How did Assassin's Creed do first week for the 360?

Twice that number. Around 45,000.

Hurahi Suzumiya from the anime series The Melancholy of Hurahi Suzumiya.

Basically its a series that takes all the anime clichés and turns them into jokes.

Edit: Beaten twice over

oh and it's very popular....

Yes and largely because of this, respectively.

You mean it's one of the best animes ever.

Yea just found it.

08./00. [360] Assassin's Creed (Ubi Soft) - 40,811 / NEW

 

[OliveJuice]

Nintendo should have shipped a little more. Smash could have done a million. It's already at 95% sell through.

except at the same time it's not exactly untrue

 

[C4Lukins]

Japan is even starting to buy PS3 games that they would not touch on the 360. Great for Devil May Cry. I am really enjoying the game so far.

Edit: Nevermind. I did not realize Assassins was already released on 360.

 

[Christine]

No doubt. I dont even know why Namco made their own board, though I doubt Nintendo would be generous enough to allow Bamco to pack the Balace Board with FS...even though that makes sense

No, not really. Right now demand for the Wii Fit package is such that sacrificing balance boards to sell to Namco just isn't reasonable. They haven't even launched outside Japan - they need to stockpile units for that as well.

Yeah mind explainin' that one?

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, huh? Sounds kind of emo. Judging from the fact that she's wearing a Japanese schoolgirl uniform, would I be right in saying that the series chronicles this girl's love life, trials and tribulations against the backdrop of her high school?

Why is it so popular among English speakers?

 

[Wollan]

The wait for August begins. Pal Wii :*(

Great week for Nintendo.

Not quite, it starts out like that and then gets very weird.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

What game holds the record for best selling PS3 game upon release? Was it Hot Shot Golf? Did DMC4 beat that?
