[Gek54]

How have PSone sales been in the US?

 

[Gchaime]

Does anyone else find it interesting that Capcom both published GTA and True Crime? Because i do.

 

[king zell]

wow @ Mario Tennis

I think 185,701 is very good for a start

this is even better than Pikmin 2 (161,930) and Paper Mario 2 (137,750) first week

 

[Mashing]

it's not a surprise... great multiplayer games do well on GC in Japan. MP6 is going to sell great. I wouldn't be suprised to see it do a million.

 

[Deg]

multiplayer games do well on GC. SSBM and MKDD are the top two selling games. MP5 did extremely well too.

 

[ManDudeChild]

You might want to compare those total figures to last week.

 

[Culex]

GC hardware sales nearly doubled. 6k is still horrid, but at least Mario Tennis helped.

 

[Jacobi]

Yeah go Gamecube ! But it didn't help Hardware's sales

 

[LowTecky]

Well it did increase by about 100%, despite that only being 3000 extra units.

 

[Jacobi]

PSOne's sales increased too by 100 %, but that doesn't help much

 

[heidern]

Sales for everything are pretty horrible. In fact, those ps2 numbers and other console numbers are horrible. The GBA is owning Japan with around 55% of total hardware sales. When the DS and psp hit the handheld marketshare will totally DOMINATE. It's gonna be great seeing Kens face when the ps2 gets superceded by the psp. In fact I think Drinky's gonna be shattered too. I think its gonna be time to campaign for a one handheld future soon. **** the consoles.

W.t.f. is True Crime doing in a top 10 of most sold games in Japan?

GTA did respectively in Japan, so it shouldn't be too much of a surprise.

Plus 16,000 copies sold is nothing to call home about.

Well, it is a surprise to me I really hadn't expected to see a mediocre GTA clone show up on a list like this. No matter if it is just a weekly list. Interesting.

 

[Chibbi Brady]

Excellent sales for Mario Tennis. It could end up shifting quite a lot, possibly even 700-800k. It all depends on whether or not the game was released too early to still be in the minds of people come buying season. Things just tend to disappear after a few weeks in Japan.

 

[TheGreenGiant]

W.t.f. is True Crime doing in a top 10 of most sold games in Japan?

maybe its that Pan-asian lead character.

Capcom also published The Getaway in Japan as well. Oh the deception!
