for N64, MK64 sold more than SSB.

maybe MKDD's shortcomings dragged it down.

At least both outsold Mario Party 8... but I think that's because people know a MP9 is coming =P.

Or maybe Melee was just that much better.

Also: The Wii Wheel is going to beat Brawl, which is to say that any Wii game from Nintendo featuring a peripheral is going to be hard to fucking top.

relatively speaking compared to other PS3 titles? Isn't this the first time a PS3's stayed in the top 30 for 3 weeks in a row?

Probably not.

I still think the fact that the PSP can only manage 1 title in the top 30 is pretty telling. The thing is a Monster Hunter/Media Playing machine.

Yeah, its pretty telling that the whole bunch of new PSP games getting released every week debut outside Top30.

Oh, wait.

Dont worry. I'm sure Brawl will win out WW in the end.

that will happen only if MKWii fails to put comparable numbers to SSBB in the US in the long run.

Lifetime, I think MK Wii will top Brawl. The Wheel is friendly enough to lure in the blue ocean crowd in a way that no other MK title has ever done.

EDIT: Not to mention it has the best online component on the Wii IMO, which should appeal to the traditional gamers out there.

Right. Poor software sales led to less support which led to fewer releases.

Indeed, actually we can't blame anyone here. It's been like 30 months like that for PSP, then it suddenly fires up in hardware, but no one is taking the system seriously anymore. We could say right now that PSP is unproven territory for a regular software lineup. Bad news for Sony is that such lineup is very unlikely to show up this late in its life despite the good hardware news.

Fixed, 'cause I think that's all this has proved or all we can actually assume about the system at this point.

Which is exactly why the PS3 and 360 are, for all intents and purposes, dead in Japan. They'll follow the same pattern as the PSP (assuming hardware sales ever pick up). Though I don't think PSP is unproven for software, new games seem to sell pretty respectably when they're rarely released, but in the eyes of the publishers it's a failure, and that's all that matters.

Kinda irks me, because it's basically forcing game development to go backwards...

Thanks for the numbers :) Fairly good sales all around except PS3 and Xbox 360 (PS2 is like 8 years old so for its still selling is pretty good in my opinion).

Actually the Namco leak showed they were doubling their PSP titles (14 for the fiscal year) because of the PSP hardware surge. So publishers might give the PSP another shot because of the great HW numbers it's been doing. But who knows if Japanese gamers will want
to pay for
those new games.

Yeah, but you've had an average of 80-90k people picking up the system each week for months now. Surely they'd be able to get enough catalog sales to have more than 3 titles in the top 50? 30-50 aren't selling much.

It's already hard enough in the U.S to have games that didn't sell at the start to be kept in stock after its first shipment liquidation. Well its a tons harder in Japan. When a game dies in Japan it dies. Store forget about it and people do too. Those backlog means nothing if store don't stock them.

New PSP software have been doing well since the slim and arguably third party software on the PSP have been doing the best among the current gen systems since the slim.

Also it takes time to companies to starting hoping back on the PSP wagon. We already seen how long its been taking third parties for the Wii? I expect more games announced soon. Hopefully Sony would get off their lazy ass and supports their own handheld cause they have been the most disappointing of all.

Is Panther still banned? If so, for how long?

I hope it wasn't a permaban. I never really thought he went over the line on anything and felt he was an asset to Neogaf in general. I really miss his graphs.

Its doing well but its no DS c2006.

The PS3 died in Japan already which is a bigger turnaround than anywhere considering the PS2/GC last gen.

I think he ment in the near and/or distant future, that developers might release more games for the PSP. But i think i know what you mean though, the PSP software is still low now eventhough the hardware is higher.

First day sales

PSP Bleach: Heat the Soul 5 - 20.000
NDS Luminous Arc 2 - 20.000 (60k shipment)
WII Totsugeki!! Famicom Wars VS - 12.000
360 The Darkness - 2.000 (30% sell through)
PS2 Aoishiro LE - 2.000 (40% sell through)
PSP Ikuze! Gen-San: Yuuyake Daiku Monogatari - 1.000

Both Bleach and Luminous Arc improve very slighty their previous entries openings, it seems the first LA value crumbled so the shipment this time is smaller.

Sony should've had 8ing working on a PS3 Bleach instead. There was really no need for 5 on PSP. :lol
