the recent PSP hardware sales spike is indeed impressive

the new model did a lot to the PSP

but still its a little to late and the DS is still selling similar numbers... its just that the DS already passed (or is about to pass) PS2 numbers which is the highest numbers of consoles sold in Japan ever.. in other words everyone that wanted DS already got one..

and its not translating into software sales

which is puzzling to me..

man the PSP right now has a great software library...

Only Summoners Lineage (<15k first week), rest did better. 2nd worst ever is Fandom Vol1 at 45,354 thus why I'm not if ToR PSP is 2nd or 3rd. Anyway, pretty bad numbers by themselves and really horrible weekend sales (7k? :lol), like AC FA PS3 btw.

Wow, I can't believe the DS has outsold the PS2 by a million units already. Now all it needs to do is outsell the Game Boy + Game Boy Color combo to become the best selling games machine of all time in Japan.

...hey, remember when the media said this thing would crash and burn?!

Rebirth seems kinda low too. How did Batonnage do compared to Ranger?

Jesus Ninja Gaiden bombed something fierce.

Bangai-O didn't sell much after day one, either. Doesn't shock me, I saw many second-hand copies in Akihabara on Monday. I think people are turning the game over fast.

Why count Game Boy and Game Boy Color as the same system? Most people look at the two as completely different system, where Color is the successor to the Game Boy.

Another one bites the dust, (Lance's) 300k PS3 magic barrier in effect.

Pretty horrible weekend numbers for many titles...Pokemon and Deca Sporta on the other hand expanded greatly to their already very good first day numbers, I wonder whats the word of mouth with Deca Sporta (thought it'd be bad seeing famitsu review and amazon 2-out-of-5 stars rating).

PD: no picsou, its not good sorry :/
 
Wow, the battle for the YTD top spot is tight

1. Wii 944,254
2. NDS 926,177

If the Famitsu numbers for this week are correct PSP will gain 10k on NDS and move up to 2nd place.

Yeah, I was about to say I'm definitely revising my LTD prediction for Yakuza way down from 400k.

Code:
Game	Week 1	Week 2	Week 3	Total
Yakuza 1	129,863	57,974	44,813	232,650
Yakuza 3	177,000	43,000	19,000	239,000
With the first one crawling its way to 350k, I don't think this one will make it.

Maybe, but the last time this was brought up we had a pretty lengthy conversation about the two being combined or not so I played safe. Besides if it beats the two combined, there's absolutely no way to argue that! (from my understanding it's already outsold either of them singularly)

Actually, Nintendo routinely combines them and considers them one platform. I wouldn't personally though, they have different chipsets... it's like considering SMS/GG or GC/Wii one platform in my eyes.

Wii Play could be out of top30 (cause rounded numbers always miss 1 or 2 spots) for the first time since its release...

Common Sense Wii bombed pretty well despite Nintendo efforts.

MHP2 total is wrong, previous total was 1669000, thus with last week numbers it should be 1,677,000. I wonder if it'll reach Mario Kart 64 (1,711,661), biggest seller ever on a 2nd (or worse) position console.

That explains alot. All videos i´ve seen so far made me lough. It looked just too bad. All Ys games are mediocre but the DS versions looked like complete failure.

Next week PSP may even take the top spot, thanks to MH2G and new "PSPcolour+MH2G" bundle.

Deca Sports has good legs it seems. SimCity DS 2 will likely be one of EA's biggest success in Japan.
Tales of Rebirth, Ninja Gaiden and Bangai-O-Spirits disappoint. (Ninja Gaiden in particular: WTF is wrong with you Japan??)

Akihabara!? I knew you were teaching in Japan, and I knew you were doing it to take a break from the rat race over here rather than bank some cash... but living in Tokyo... I hope your Sega severance cheque is enough to supplement your teaching income.

Weekend sales = week-long sales - first day (pre-weekend) sales.

Oi, no worries friend. I don't live in Tokyo, I'm about an hour and a half train ride outside of it in Koga. But I go into Tokyo every couple of weeks to stay sane.

So after the latest media create numbers the situation will be something like this:

PS3 1,980k
Wii Fit 1,750k

Any guesses when the streams are going to cross?

Yes, as a matter of fact. I laid out a math bomb on the first page of the thread.--although inexplicably I used the wrong numbers. I'll re-write now:

Stumpokapow said:
The difference between the two right now is about 250k. The PS3 grows at 20k a week. Wii Fit currently grows at 40k a week. So [the ps3 does not miraculously rise], Wii Fit will pass the PS3 in around early July at about 2.2 million units sold each.

If Wii Fit drops to 30k and the PS3 stays around 20k, then Wii Fit will pass the PS3 around October at around 2.4 million units each.

Wii Sports first dropped to below 20k at ~week 40 of its release, which is around when Wii Sales collapsed for a few months. It then followed a period of being in the teens until the Christmas when it had a spurt of weeks that looked like 26k, 41k, 68k, 108k, 94k, 126k, 41k, 31k, 27k, 22k... and since then has settled back into the teens.

Assuming Wii Fit holds up as well as Wii Sports did, it will pass the PS3 this summer. If the Wii undergoes a summer sales collapse, Wii Fit will similarly decline and passing may be tougher. The software spike around Christmas will be harder than the hardware spike, however, so even assuming a summer Wii sales collapse, it's possible the Christmas bump will even out sales such that the drought never happened in relative terms.

Ninja Gaiden DS is the biggest bomba ever if we consider pre-release hype, developer pedigree, and IP popularity.

I am sorry for Tecmo and Itagaki, there is nothing positive that can be said about those numbers.

Are we waiting on the translations of 21, 24, 26 or are they just not available?

And it's good to see Time Hollow opening up well after a slow first day. I know someone already said it's been listed on an Aus release list, but a strong performance in Japan can only help matters! :)

By the way, that Pokémon Ranger start seems stronger than the first game...or is it my imagination? Anyone care to confirm, please?

By Famitsu numbers, PSP YTD is almost 200k lower than by Media Create numbers, while Wii and DS are both higher. Media Create seem to have overtracked PSP and Famitsu seem to have undertracked it, and they both might be adjusting for it now.

Boggles my mind that this many people liked the first one enough to buy the second. Especially when, unlike the first one, they're not even giving away anything new for the real-and-good Pokemon games.

NDS Time Hollow: Ubawareta Kako o Motomete - 14k - 12k - 26k
Not too shabby.

Tales of Rebirth didn´t do well. It seems that it´s the worst Tales of first week debut on PSP - (and maybe overall? - looking at Famitsu first week sales - 45k first week)

Maybe it will do better if they do a USA release.

Who am I kidding, this game will never get out of Japan.
