That's very far from Level 5's target.

How many new Jrpg IPs sold + 500K this Gen ? IE 1 also started slow, if Hino expcted it to be a million seller maybe they should have released it last year before announcing the ps3 version....

 

[Chris1964]

Since we won't get numbers.

Next week's releases

[WII] Ultimate Shooting Collection 2 (Milestone) {30/12/10}
[PS2] Kaeru Batake de Tsukamete: Natsu Senbokuryou Sansen (Takuyo) {28/12/10}

This is nice, was not expecting the excuses to flow in this quickly. Been a good year, MHP3 doing very well and there being two bomb of the year contenders in the last few months of 2010. GT5 has got the crown so far, Ni no Kuni is threatening to take the spot.

Not meeting expectation = Bad sales in general ?
If so than i guess im wrong, i never expected Ninokuni to sell a million easy, especially after IE3 performance or the general DS 3rd party game performance in that last months.

 

[deathkiller]

So Castlevania: Lords of Shadow didn't enter in the top 10? That's disappointing even by Japan's Castlevania standards.

Considering that the tenth place title could have sold in excess of 50k, there's still a chance that CV:LoS could have done OK - even, say, a 35k/15k split between the PS3/360 would have placed it ahead of all recent Igavanias, I think.

WOW

モンスターハンターポータブル 3rd カプコン 10/12/01 581,543 3,161,801

Crazy... By end of the year it will have met Capcom's 3.6 million expectations!

And PSP is still above the DS...impressive.

 

[Cosmonaut X]

DKCR takes off - 152k second week :lol

EDIT:

...and a 74k second week for Ni No Kuni - not looking good.

Kirby clears 300k, and I think 500k lifetime is looking reasonably safe.

And 27k first week for the PS3 version of CV: LoS puts it over all recent CV releases (more so including whatever the 360 version ended up doing) but not significantly so.

 

[Bebpo]

Ni no kuni drop wasn't too bad. Will probably hit about 400-450k lifetime. Doubt it will sell out the first 600k shipment unless they are selling them at 900yen price collapse.

Gundam Musou 3 is kind of low opening. I thought it'd be closer to 250kish.

Not really since it's just two months until the 3DS.

Fuck, I just realized it's just two months!

Edit: Wii YTD > PS3 YTD.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

GT5 is off the top 20 it seems. Oh well, sad to see it go.

MHP3 is a beast. That's got to be one of the best 3rd weeks ever. Wii, why is it selling so much? PS3 should be selling more.


That's it from me.

 

[Takao]

GT5 has sold out most of its shipment, and likely will. Its number is low due to the amount of time the game was in development, but it's not really a bomba king.

 

[jett]

guess ninokuni won't be the next big L5 franchise.

 

[Fularu]

WOW at GT5 already out of the top 20

 

[Laguna]

With Tales of Graces PS3 out off Top20 it looks like it will sell considerably worse than ToVPS3.

 

[gogogow]

Gundam Musou 3 is kind of low opening. I thought it'd be closer to 250kish.

It actually opened higher than the first 2 games. 14k higher than the first and 24k higher than the 2nd one. But I doubt it will reach 320k-ish ltd like the first 2 did.

 

[Xater]

guess ninokuni won't be the next big L5 franchise.

I am more wondering what the not really great Japanese sales mean for a western release.

What was its LTD before it fell?

Edit: Wii YTD > PS3 YTD.

Errrr yes it is, considering how much it was behind the DS before MHP3rd. Looks likely now that the PSP will outsell the DS this year.

Personally i dont think that the 3DS affects the DS sales that much this holiday. The DS did afterall sell about 148k this week (well, last week). Last year in the same week, the DS sold about 183k, so the drop isnt that big The 3DS might affect the sales a bit, i agree with that, but i think that it's more about that the DS is starting to show it's age (still selling very strong though).

MHP3 might have something to do with why it's selling so well...

 

[Spiegel]

ToVPS3 sold <20k in the third week

The cut off for the Top20 is 22k

 

[Laguna]

What was its LTD before it fell?

Don´t know. But I remember that Chris or someone else stated that ToVps3 sold about 390k LTD some weeks ago.

@Spiegel
I know. Let´s wait for the Top50 first.

 

[test_account]

MHP3 might have something to do with why it's selling so well...

But isnt it impressive that one game in particular can boost the hardware sales of a system that much? The reason for why system sells so well is usually because of the software, if it is 1 particular game or several of games =)

[Spiegel]

It seems MHP3 is going to destroy MHP2G and DQIX and become the best selling third party game ever.

 

[Laguna]

Paracleus, maybe.

But isnt it impressive that one game in particular can boost the hardware sales of a system that much? The reason for why system sells so well is usually because of the software, if it is 1 particular game or several of games.

Monster Hunter became for the PSP what Pokemon was for the GB in 1996.

Wii 99,681
PS3 49,515
I honestly didn´t expect such a turnaround.

 

[ULTROS!]

Hmm... Ninokuni might reach 300k by the end of the year.

Kinda expected 500k though, oh well. Maybe it's because NDS peeps are shifting their focus on the 3DS?

Edit: According to AndriaSang, FFXIII 360 missed out on the top 20, meaning it sold below Mario Kart Wii (22,579).

 

[Grimmy]

So you just answered your own original comment then.

Did I even ask a question? No. You chose to answer a question no one asked.

Yep, that seem to be the case indeed

 

[Souldriver]

What's the LTD for DQIX. Is it a sure fact that MHP3 will surpass it?



In any case, the MH phenomena is very impressive. Damn!

 

[Kenka]

What an abnormal amount of copies sold. Where will this thing stop ? It will catch up with Friends Collection in no time and may even kick Pokémon's ass.

What's the LTD for DQIX. Is it a sure fact that MHP3 will surpass it?



In any case, the MH phenomena is very impressive. Damn!

It's not entirely certain. But DQ IX's LTD is about 4.2 M. MHP3 may blow it right on time on Jan, 1st though.

Happens every year, and will probably occur again in 2011.

Even when Wii is being outsold by PS3 in the months leading up to Christmas the Wii always does better during the holidays overall.

I still didn´t expect PS3 to remain that flat with GT5 and ToG in December.

 

[MemoirsofMimi]

Are there supply issues with Super Mario Collection? That's a rather steep drop for a game that was showing great legs.

 

[jeremy1456]

That's true.

What surprised me was that NSMBWii had more of an affect on Wii sales than FFXIII did on those of the PS3 last year.
