NSMBW: Within margin of error.
Wii Fit: I'd guess in order to stay in the Top Ten ;).

hm, does anyone know how popular the SNES Lufia-games were back in the days? this seems kinda disappointing to me.

Nice little debut for Borderlands. I'm surprised MGS published it, making it a 360 exclusive in Japan.


But where's Resonance of Fate? =(

Released in Jan. 28th. Last known totals (Famitsu):

PS3 - 172,000
360 - 37,000


For what is worth, Wii hardware for this week should be 28,029 (Famitsu), barely up from last week (27,253).

Wait, did Heavy Rain completely drop off the charts after one week?!
I assume no restock from its fairly modest initial shipment.

Edit: Damn, nevermind. That's unfortunate.

Surprisingly good openings for KB and SRW.

We can't really say it's really a good opening for SRW. It's down from the first entry, and if it takes a sharp drop next week then it'll be in decline like most other franchises. When you start declining after the first entry didn't even reach 150k, that's not a good sign...

Hmm... I didn't realise that the Wii was already selling under 30k a week according to Famitsu.

NSMB Wii sales are barely up and Wii sales are barely up. It doesn't surprise me.

Statistical noise.

Biohazard 5 Alternative Edition sales remind of Biohazard Director's Cut from the PSone era. The sales are very similar so far.

Biohazard Director's Cut (1997/09/25):
Week 1 - 144,349
Week 2 - 44,820
Week 3 - 28,853
LTD - 514,122

The major difference is that the original Biohazard had already sold 1 Million units, making the ratio between the Director's Cut and the original release smaller than it is for Biohazard 5 and Alternative Edition. I don't expect Alternative Edition to sell anywhere near Director's Cut (until a budget release), but it's still remarkable how well it's selling.

There are also 16 new releases in the top 30 alone. It really isn't surprising Heavy Rain is not in the top 30 (being an western game etc.). A 76% drop second week is pretty common (Famitsu).

It's not exactly like that this week

Everyone's Recommendation Selection launched with 7 good quality titles
Wii went up a bit
NSMBW went up a bit (according to Media Create)

Yeah I know, but the PS3 version was 18th last week and 12th the week before. I expected it still to be in the top 30 this week. =\ I guess they ran out of stock?

Yeah I know, but the PS3 version was 18th last week and 12th the week before. I expected it still to be in the top 30 this week. =\ I guess they ran out of stock?
RPGs aren't the kind of titles that keep selling for ever in Japan.

Famitsu up to previous week

[PS3] Resonance of Fate (Sega) - 125.868 / 125.868 / 80,00%
[PS3] Resonance of Fate (Sega) - 28.665 / 154.533 / 88,70%
[PS3] Resonance of Fate (Sega) - 12.171 / 166.704 / 93,00%
[PS3] Resonance of Fate (Sega) - 5.700 / 172.400 / 95,00%

Only one game from the Everyone's Recommendation Selection in the top 30...
I guess its too early to tell if it sells or not for a platinum collection, but I was hoping for a little bit more steam behind the sales... Many good games that deserved better sales when they released.

Muramasa and One Piece had high first week sales for budget re-releases. Generally many titles from Everyone's Recommendation Selection had good openings.

It's not exactly like that this week

Everyone's Recommendation Selection launched with 7 good quality titles
Wii went up a bit
NSMBW went up a bit (according to Media Create)

Reading comprehension FTW! : P

In any case, I don't think that the gains are significant enough to draw any conclusions from. Statistical noise.

Biohazard 5 Alternative Edition sales remind of Biohazard Director's Cut from the PSone era. The sales are very similar so far.

Biohazard Director's Cut (1997/09/25):
Week 1 - 144,349
Week 2 - 44,820
Week 3 - 28,853
LTD - 514,122

The major difference is that the original Biohazard had already sold 1 Million units, making the ratio between the Director's Cut and the original release smaller than it is for Biohazard 5 and Alternative Edition. I don't expect Alternative Edition to sell anywhere near Director's Cut (until a budget release), but it's still remarkable how well it's selling.

RE tearing it up. At least we know that RE6 will have a good chance globally(outside of the US and Europe)

We can't really say it's really a good opening for SRW. It's down from the first entry, and if it takes a sharp drop next week then it'll be in decline like most other franchises. When you start declining after the first entry didn't even reach 150k, that's not a good sign...

Well ok it's not fantastic, but I had a feeling it would do worse for some reason.

Not that this is going to be some awesome success, but I think Reginleiv might meet ducky's 50K prediction. Right now the supply is 42K , so one or two more smaller shipments and it will probably get there.

noooooooooooooooo my prediiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiction

Really though, I'm glad it got good word of mouth. Maybe if Nintendo had actually supported it at retail it may have even gone to 75-100k.

I was hoping it would do that in one week, not one month! :(

how PS3's SO4 is doing in comparison to XBOX360 version.. i think it launched with much lower first week than XBOX360's first week.. but is it catching up?
 

duckroll

It's not going to catch up, but it has sold half of what the 360 one did so far. It'll likely crawl to 150k or so due to heavy discounting attributed to a big initial shipment and low actual demand.

Sandlot should just feel lucky Nintendo actually released it! That's more than Nintendo is usually doing these days in Japan.
 
Hmm, total no-show by EA's Cel-da esque Shonen Kininden Tsumuji for DS.
Figures, as when I went to two stores in Shibuya on Sunday looking for it, neither of them carried it.

Welp, it's pretty clear that no one wants a real-time Lufia game. Even if that's what Neverlandco is making these days. :/
The thing is, if all S-E wanted to do was cash-in on the fan nostalgia without really pushing a relaunch of the brand, why didn't they just have some other developer make a more faithful remake? It makes no sense to me what they did here.

"Turn-based RPGs aren't fresh anymore," or something like that.
