Did you guys have the same expectations for Viva Pinata? Why would you be sad about LBP? Be sad for the company that didn't make a game that the Japanese market wanted.
It's actually doing pretty well.D-Pad said:Nooooooooooooooooo.gif ... This isn't gonna pick up, is it.
Famitsu has it debuting at 15k at #15 (MC had it at #13) for last week.
Marvelous expects 56k for the FY, and with these legs, it seems like it could exceed that, maybe within a month.

At some point someone is going to have to subtly compare the bomb of Wii Music and the bomb of LBP.

If the 360 hardware is to believed (and I think it should, given the accuracy of the other listings), the jump in X360 hardware is due to the new value bundle in Japan - For 29,800 yen, you get a lot of extras including Beautiful Katamari and Ace Combat 6.
Such an increase would kill 2 birds with 1 stone: Explaining the major drop MC reported for the X36 last week (dropped 1,500 units on the week, whilst it had stayed in the 7-8k area for over a month), and the massive rise this week to 12k.
Microsoft is a week away from having their best year in Japan ever. Which is amazing, given the fact that in June, they were well behind 2007's pace (around 50,000 units).
They've certainly had their best 2nd half ever by a long shot.

That PS3 top 10 is based on famitsu data per garaph up through 10-20, I think. So GT5P would be on there, but not any million sellers.

What is the original Layton's LTD? Or the second one for that matter? Is it possible with the release of the third coming up it could push either one over a million units?

I know, it sucks watching good games bomb (Okami and VF5 come to mind). The Japanese market seems very unpredictable outside of handhelds.

~880k and ~820k Famitsu. The first got ~200k additional sales after the release of the second.

Square Enix = 80% chance of success
Second placed console + established IP = 50% chance of success
New IP = 10% chance of success
The Japanese market is traditionally very trend-driven. If something becomes popular there, it does so very quickly.

Too bad for LBP. If it had been called Mario Planet and was on the Wii, it'd sell over a million copies

Superior Mario Galaxy would like to have a word with you.Private Hoffman said:
Western made platformers have done pretty well in the past. The Banjo games did excellently, as have the Ratchet games in the past few years. LBP is a "dead genre" console game exclusive to PS3. Considering it was sent to die, it's doing pretty well.OldJadedGamer said:
