It'll get more exciting when we get hardware numbers, then first day numbers for stuff like BBA and FFXII:RW.

BBA? Big Brain Academy - Wii?

 

[Saitou]

People, stop requesting bans. Haven't you ever been told to be careful what you wish for?


Not much to say about these numbers, other than @FF1 re-re-re-re-remake sales.
I'll be back in full on gloating mood when HW settles in.

BBA? Big Brain Academy - Wii?

Yes.

 

[AdmiralViscen]

That's bad for FF1 remake?

 

[kisakiproject]

SPM will probably do 300-500k ltd depending on legs. Not bad. Should have sold mor,e but its a game. FF PSP sold 48.5k holy crap, it will never stop selling.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

The crazy thing is they could probably do that if they wanted to.

Heh. Well, if they release FF 1-6 individually, they each sell as well as the originals, and each of those purchases is with a new PSP... it could get close to DS.

 

[Link]

That's bad for FF1 remake?

I'd say that's pretty good.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

I think SPM will outsell the other PM games because of its platformer slant, but I don't think it'll crack a million. Maybe 700k-ish.

Go go Layton, MHP2 and Mario Kart!

I think Square made their development budget and then some with FF PSP.

 

[AniHawk]

That's bad for FF1 remake?

Well it's good for a PSP game.

 

[Deku]

That's bad for FF1 remake?

Retail orders was 100k for FF1 PSP. A 45k opening week pretty much guarantees there won't be reprints of this game unless it has strong legs and FF games usually has its sales frontloaded. It's a modest success given its likely low production budget.

 

[mj1108]

Well it's good for a PSP game.

I'm not sure if that's either the bright side of looking at it or just flat out sad?

 

[Deku]

I'm not the first to point this out.

AniHawk
Cranky. Very cranky.
Rather sarcastic to boot.

On the other hand it means SE was right on target with their shipment. They're pleased.

45% sell through of stock (retailers ordered 100k) is decent. Nothing too pleasing though.

:lol :lol :lol :lol

Awesome. I like. Very pukey.

It's Dragmire's.

Why is the avatar puking.

Why is the avatar puking.

It's vomiting with rage.

 

[Deku]

:lol

 

[Saitou]

Why is the avatar puking.

You had to be there.

I'd say that's pretty good.

Too good. Honestly, I love FF1 and all... but there's a limit to these kind of things.

Fate Stay Night did AMAZINGLY well for a freaking text novel. When the heck was the last time a text adventure sold almost 150k opening week?

Yes.

The "true" beginning of Wii domination?

EDIT: You beat my edit.

Beginning?

 

[Juwanna Peezadis]

The beginning of Wii domination?

Beginning of? Continued, maybe.

 

[Dark Ninja]

and wow Big Brain is coming out already this should be intersting

 

[bgassassin]

Beginning?

I said it in reference to BBA being the first non-game for the Wii. Unless people want to say Wii Sports and Play are included in the non-game genre.

 

[Eteric Rice]

Big Brain won't sell amazingly well on the Wii. Trust me, it's not meant for a console.

Wii Health, on the other hand...

This is how I feel. BBA will probably put up solid numbers, but I'm not expecting it to do gangbusters like it did on the DS. I'm gonna go with 200k - 300k.

I give it 500K based on name alone.

 

[Eteric Rice]

GET READY HERE COMES THE CROW! WHOOOOOOO WHOOOOO!

I'm gonna say under 600,000 world wide.

I wouldn't complain if it did sell, though.

As a pessimist, you're either proven right or pleasantly surprised.

 

[Linkup]

04./00. [NDS] Nodame Cantabile (Bandai-Namco) - 50,785 / NEW

Nice sells though it probably won't ever come to the US.

Animal Crossing is gone and mkds is still up there, cool. Guessing SE did about 200k on their KH2 rerelease. 80k for hardware.

 

[Terrell]

I said it in reference to BBA being the first non-game for the Wii. Unless people want to say Wii Sports and Play are included in the non-game genre.

They've both sold over a million units, and they're games released for Nintendo hardware... doesn't that automatically classify them as non-games?

 

[Xisiqomelir]

K*taku ganked you again, Cheesemeister.

 

[bgassassin]

LOL. I guess they have qualified to non-game status.

I'm gonna say under 600,000 world wide.

I wouldn't complain if it did sell, though.

Worldwide? I think it'll do better than that.

Due to the Wii supply constraints, I think it will sell decent numbers for a good period of time which would cause it to eventually pass at least 500k in Japan.

Sports has around a 70% tie in ratio and Play is about 55%. With 2M Wiis in Japan, 500k is only 25%. I think that should be easy to obtain.

As a pessimist, you're either proven right or pleasantly surprised.

I know what you mean as I tend to take a wait-and-see approach most of the time. I feel pretty confident about BBA's sales though.

I can't think of any to have done so.

 

[KINGMOKU]

K*taku ganked you again, Cheesemeister.

Are you sure they got it from cheese? Or did they just get it from where Cheese got them?

If they just rip them from here, action must be taken. must be taken.

 

[Eteric Rice]

Got damn it you reminded me that that's coming out in two months.

Cannot wait...

 

[Cheesemeister]

K*taku ganked you again, Cheesemeister.

Whenever the next software chart is posted after Golden Week, I'm totally going to give a shout-out to Mr. McWhertor at the top of the post. :lol

Reading this week's chart, I can't believe how jealous I am of the Japanese access to language training DS software. I wanna learn Kanji, too!

 

[KevinRo]

I am curious to see how Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings (Square-Enix) does next week since spinoffs don't sell that well.

I'm betting it'll do around 65k first week.

 

[Xisiqomelir]

Well, I'm basing this on the fact that http://eg.nttpub.co.jp/ranking.html lists new title sales as "WTD/WTD", not "WTD/NEW", and that the English title translations all look like Cheese's.

 

[apujanata]

OK

360 2000
PS3 9999 (lolz)
PS2 10000
PSP 25000
Wii 62500
DS 125000

GAF explode. Hardcore gamer died around the world. X360 S/W and H/W took a very sudden drop, worldwide. Same thing happen to PS3. Only Wii and DS survive, since they do not depend on hardcore gamers.
