Haha, oh wow.

I knew I was repeating that line a bit too much. But there were just so many dumb arguments...
Anyway, I noticed that I hadn't yet actually commented on the sales in this thread, so I might as well do it now - Solid performances all around, nice on Smash. Definite million-seller, probable multi-million seller.
Haruhi Suzumiya (the character) is demonspawn, and the anime itself is above average
Very disappointed with sales for Houkago Shounen(Afterschool Boy). Was hoping for a debut as good as Game Center CX. I am guessing the already slim chances of localization are down to zero now.
Hopefully Time Hollow fares better.
The revitalization of Adventure games need to continue.

What was the last game to debut in Japan over 500k in a non-system-launch week?
We've also seen the reverse though... and we've seen 360 games outsell PS3 counterparts and vice versa. I'm not really sure Sikigami III sales are a great basis for a potential Wii DMC's sales potential though. :loliidesuyo said:
I agree generally with DMC actually, I figure had DMC4 been on Wii instead, it'd probably have done similarly to the PS3 version (200k-ish). Unless it was also on PS2 too, then it'd have sold like the 360 release. :lol

dmc4 was a huge hitter for 360 and ps3 (too bad capcom didnt make a wii version)
haruhi has a hardcore following
disgea has a hardcore following
tales has a hardcore following
so yeah outside of assassins creed and ssbb not beeing not so much of a system seller there is no surprise here
family ski is actually kinda surprising.. sold much better then i thought it would
AshStrife said:
yeah sad about that one.. looked much like a layton rip off to me.. but it could have been big.. konami just does not get the DS market somehow.. (yet they have some awesome games on the DS)

Saying that would be a little more impressive if Nintendo titles didn't have ~61.3% of the Top 10 sales, ~54% alone from Brawl. But it's still a nice change, even if it doesn't last.
Edit: Last week Nintendo titles' sales only made up ~55% of the Top 10 sales, so this week is actually an increase in their control, despite losing # of spots.

Well, if they weren't hesitant before, AC ought to scare a few people away from western games for good.

SSBB to sell more then Halo 3, confirmed.

Are you importing AB? I'm curious as to if it turned out being any good. No one has posted a thread yet, so I assume most of the actual jGaffers aren't picking it up just yet.
domokunrox said:
Depends on North American sales. At this point, Halo 3 should eventually pass 6M in the United States and 10M worldwide. Brawl could top 10M worldwide, but it needs at least 4-5M in North America to do so. North America was by far the biggest market for the past two smash titles. I think that will hold true for Brawl as well.
kswiston said:
both games will be big on the long run but I am expecting Smash Bros to have better legs (more sales per month, worldwide) as the generation continues its course.
With the rest of the world, beside USA and UK, not giving a shit about xbox or halo, Smash bros will invariably turn out to be the better seller when all is said and done.

If you can find someone else on GAF who's even more constantly, inescapably bitter than you are, I'll give you a cookie.
Redd said:
What do Halo's actual worldwide sales look like now? Given the immense difference between the GC and Wii, and taking this Japanese launch as relatively indicative, I expect SSBB to do something like 9 million worldwide when all is said and done.

Super Smash Bros: B will do more than 10 million worldwide. It's not even a question.
charlequin said:
Microsoft stated that Halo 3 was at 8.1M worldwide as of about a month ago. We know from the NPD numbers that just under 5M of that was from United States. Figure another 400K or so from Canada, <100k from Japan, and the rest from Europe, Australia etc. Lifetime sales will definitely be above 9M, and probably above 10M.

kswiston said:
The 8.1 was shipped, due.
Stumpokapow said:
Also, doesn't a game like Halo typically sell enormously in its first month or two and then drop pretty significantly sales-wise? I mean, it seems like it would continue selling vast numbers if the system continued selling well but if its sales slow down ...
I mean, I'm guessing. For all I know, Halo will sell 20 million before all is said and done. Just doesn't seem like it has the momentum to carry it to 10 million anytime soon.
NintendosBooger said:
If that happens(hopefully) since it should have long legs with an online mode can we finally put to rest that only casual or waggle like games sell on the Wii. Seriously the Smash series is a pretty deep game. Sure you can go in and just push one button and do decently against other novice gamers, but line up against a pro and your ass is grass.
Redd said:
Does the game in any way, shape, or form relate even remotely to Nintendo? Even a little bit? Even if it's just being made by some guy that at one point liked to play Nintendo games? Has its lead designer ever heard of Nintendo, in fact?
Then it's a casual game.
[And yes, I know the answers to all those questions, but I'm making a point that anything even minutely connected to Nintendo will automatically be labeled however naysayers want to help them maintain their worldview. Remember how many people saw the 3rd party sales during Christmas and were like, "Wait, I thought 3rd party games don't sell on the Wii?!" and were legitimately surprised?]

Cookie him up, then, because ethelred responded two posts later.charlequin said:
About AC sales, as Kurosaki Ichigo pointed out there's quite a big discrepancy between Famitsu and M-C; the former has it outselling the 360 version, the latter has it falling far short. Since we all agree that neither tracker is worse, just different, the truth is probably that the game sold about as well on both platforms. The absolute numbers are nothing to crow about, but I'm sure they'll make profit over localization and shipping costs. It's a very limited win for Ubisoft, but still a W. (Contrast it with Rally Revo to get a good baseline for "bomb".)

GO SMASH GO!
Galaxy seems to be ending in Japan.
Actually, in terms of catalog sales, Halo 1-2 tended to have Nintendo-like legs (still moving 30-50k monthly in the USA even years after release). Also figure that 360's doing better than Xbox 1 and Halo 3 shipments are already around where Halo 2 finished... and I'd say things look pretty good for Halo 3.Vinci said:
Smash Brawl is in a nice position too though, and I think it's going to gain over Melee basically in all territories (especially Europe). Wii's status and popularity brings up the sales potential of it's AAA games hugely, in a way N64 and GC never could really, and Brawl looks well placed to capitalize on that imo.
