Last year, Golden Week ended on a Tuesday. This year, it ended on a Wednesday. I don't know if that's why there were numbers last year, but if so I wouldn't count on getting new numbers this week.

That's Famitsu, and with the leaks, separated weekly Top 20s, and monthly Top 20, we can usually get the sales for all Top 30 games each week with some being rounded. I've never seen Media-Create combine two weeks, though. They just release two sets of data in the same week.

Well at least that way we will get both weeks of Golden Week correct?

We should at some point. Nothing yet, though.

Persona took a pretty sharp drop.Grimmy said:
It's still a good percentage of the shipment, but after its first 2 days, it fell a lot faster than I would've though.
Dragonball Kai's had better legs, but it also had a really big shipment. Anyone know if prices fell for it?
Power Pro's actually done pretty well, given its shipment numbers.
The PS2 version already sold through its inital shipment, and is probably well into its 2nd.
The Wii version has almost sold through its initial shipment.

Seems like some people haven't moved onto the current gen.

Shipment might be universal (I don't know where Famitsu gets shipment data), but the first day could still be different between the two trackers meaning that Media Create might have a lower recorded first day and longer tail through the weekend and as you say, "It's still a good percentage of the shipment". Best to wait for Famitsu numbers.
I think the Wii is officially in the crapper in Japan. :lol

No bump for the start of Golden Week for a Nintendo system = really bad.
Edit:
Can anyone in Japan tell us if the week off from work started on April 29th or if it was this week?

Everything's in the crapper - pretty low all round for Golden Week unless I'm mistaken.
donny2112 said:
Well its going up I suppose, two weeks of increases in MC would be an achievement given how MC had it dropping far deeper and more often then Famitsu :lol
Maybe now Nintendo will let us know the other games in WSR and a release date for Japan, I mean there is pretty much nothing left
I always thought the 2nd week of Golden Week was bigger for Wii because its kids/families day or something

Most people are already back to work from the GW holiday, 4/30-5/3. Some lucky asses have through this weekend off.
I was at a Sofmap today, completely anecdotal of course but you could have built a small house with the stack of used Wiis for sale. And you could have built a small add-on for that house with the amount of copies of Wii Music clogging the bargain bin.

I'm now a sales-ager since 2003 and every year the Golden Week gets overrated. I remember years where there was almost no increase during that week (2005?).
That kind of increases (~20-30%) is pretty much normal, much more can't be expected. Also what 2nd week? Do you mean the two days that are tracked on the next charts?

It did get a bump though, and everything didn't increase that much either.donny2112 said:
PSP - +8k
DSi - +12k
PS3 - +0k
WII - +3k
360 - +0k
PS2 - +1k
Golden Week is pretty big for sales-age, it's just that this year the economy is in the shitter.kpop100 said:

IMO, it wouldn't have affected things that much.markatisu said:
Iwata's aware of the Wii's situation in Japan, but a bunch of news articles pinpoint to him being more concerned about growth in the Western markets.
I smell a potential repeat of the DS, which was most successful in Japan for a few years (with weekly sales surpassing monthly US sales for awhile, even) before its accelerated growth led to a perceived huge drop off.
While Japan's too small to ever support Nintendo's bottom line by itself (this ain't the 1980s), I think beginning next year, the potential for growth in NA and Europe will be smaller than that of Japan percentage-wise. I see monthly Wii sales eventually dropping by a bit during normal months, offset by a rise in Japanese sales. This is assuming Nintendo becomes more aggressive in Japan and starts reasserting itself. Being outsold by the PS3 might be the wake up call they needed.
On the other hand, awesome for the PS3. I knew last year that the PS3's best days were ahead of it, and I was right. I think I have the posts to prove it in last year's threads, too.

One should also remember that Japan has a recent experience with a shitty economy with the bubble bursting in the '90s. They already know how to budget for it.BishopLamont said:

spwolf said:you mean months ago?
seriosly, PS3 games were released quite a while ago... with MHG + Golden Week, Wii should have jumped over PS3 easily.
I still think the string of titles that started in Feb. up until a few weeks ago is still holding them over, plus the FFXIII demo, hell even Killzone 2 while not a blockbuster still pushed a few copies.
I wouldn't underestimate the effect of some big name PS1 games releasing on PSN either. FFVII, Grandia and a host of others.

The FF13 demo sold double what MH G did and was released one week before.
FFXIII had a console bundle as well, and FF's always been strong on consoles. The passion of the console FF fanbase can easily explain that as well. MH seems to lack that in comparison.
Monster Hunter G isn't really the type of game that should sell systems on its own, even with a demo. I think it's bulk of sales are going to Nintendo gamers who never played the series on the PS2 or PSP before. Monster Hunter 3 on the other hand will be huge.

Thw Wii lost momentum because Nintendo hasn't released a new hit title since WiiFit. Wiimusic didn't help (which is a pitty) and Animal Crossing is complete crap when it comes to new features. Believe it or not, Nintendo (and maybe Capcom) is the only publisher right now who can save Japan. I expect a very stong second half from them.

No, handheld sales are down from ludicrous historic highs to only hanging out in the low end of PS2-range sales each week. The DS is outselling all three home consoles combined this week and PSP isn't that far behind.
