One day the PS3 is going to lose to the PS2 and I want to be there to see it.
Compared to 30k after two weeks for the first game. I look forward to BthWii.polluar said:6. Totsugeki!! Famicom Wars VS (Wii) : about 16k (total about 41k)
I think that have already happend if i'm not mistaken, that PS2 sold more than PS3 one week (it that is what you mean).Pureauthor said:One day the PS3 is going to lose to the PS2 and I want to be there to see it.
So that you can play them?duckroll said:Nintendo RPGs on the DS are such a failure they should just stop making them. I don't see the point of making games when you refuse to market them at all and just let them bomb. Fuck you Nintendo.
Yea, its getting kind of ridiculous. They better not pull this crap when Golden Sun 3 comes out.duckroll said:Nintendo RPGs on the DS are such a failure they should just stop making them.

Well the shipments went from 200k -> 80k -> 40k so Nintendo has been bringing this on them-selves. Soma Bringer did get a second shipment though.jarrod said:Yikes!

Now Nintendo is probably trying to recoup thier losses with these rpgs in NA. Hopefully NA won't dissapoint/jj984jj said:Well the shipments went from 200k -> 80k -> 40k so Nintendo has been bringing this on them-selves. Soma Bringer did get a second shipment though.

well MK Wii looks like its having pretty strong legs so far.kswiston said:We'll see about Mario Kart, but my gut feeling is that MKWii won't quite be at 2M by the end of the year either.

Yeah SB avoided price collapse... but then it only sold ~50k 1st week. It actually did about as well as Heracles proportionately, so this one might outsell it's first shipment too...duckroll said:Actually, Soma Bringer did pretty well. It sold more than what was initially shipped, the price didn't drop or collapse in retail, and the preorder CD was in really high demand. ASH and Heracles on the other hand will never ever sell out their initial shipment, which is a sign of total and utter failure.
Yeah I know, but Nintendo brought it on them-selves with their new marketing strategy. There weren't even any pages of this in Famitsu the week it was reviewed, all they did was the touch-jp/Creator's Voice/Nintendo Channel stuff way too close to launch. :\duckroll said:Nintendo doesn't determine the shipments. Initial shipments are how many copies stores and distributors are ordering based on preorders and hype. The steadily dropping shipments just means that retailers are less and less interested in carrying first party RPGs on the DS, and their customers are preordering less and less. Even based on the orders and such, Soma Bringer is the only one that actually sold to the initial expectations.
kswiston said:What is the next big title to launch in Japan? MGS4?
As things stand, I'm going to predict a 300k opening for MGS4, and a 450-500k LTD. I think this is going to beat out HSG5 for the best selling PS3 game to date, but the PS3 is doing so miserably that MGS4 won't come close to the numbers posted by its predecessors. North America, and Especially Europe, should pick up some of the sales slack though. I fully expect MGS4 to top the Worldwide Sales of MGS3 by a good measure. The 7M that MGS1 and MGS2 sold may be out of reach though (again due to poorer PS3 sales in most areas). I'll go with 5M Worldwide for now.

Vinci said:I think it's one of those PlayStation core games that people bought the system already for, knowing it would come out for it later.
Vinci said:I'm still having a hard time imagining MGS4 performing to the PS3's benefit so much. I'd say that the PS3 sales go up maybe 20,000 units at most. I think it's one of those PlayStation core games that people bought the system already for, knowing it would come out for it later.

Hammer24 said:I think so too, but on the other hand limited edition hardware usually sells pretty good.
So I´d say a 40k bump is to be expected (read: 40k plus whatever it did the previous week).

Vinci said:Yeah, but buying another PS3 isn't quite the same as going, "Hey, a new DS Lite color!" There's a significant cash amount to be dropped for a PS3 in the first place.
PSP: 54.000
PS3: 8.100

Hammer24 said:Sure - but isn´t the audience that already bought a PS3 not the very same that snatches up another one for the LE?
I agree that the MGS4 bundle is probably not expanding the market for the PS3, but the enthusiasts will surely buy them. (I´m really interested in a "Vinnk´s Village" when the bundle hits!)
80-100k enthusiasts though? C'mon... even 40k is pushing it for MGS4 launch.Hammer24 said:Sure - but isn´t the audience that already bought a PS3 not the very same that snatches up another one for the LE?
