Interesting. 360 is selling higher so far week to week from last year. Maybe Blue Dragon did have a small effect. It might even beat the original Xbox's LTD this year if it doesn't go below 4000 a week.

I don't think you can lay it at the feet of Blue Dragon. 360 has been consistently getting more Japanese oriented titles since Blue Dragon released. At most, Blue Dragon raised visibility of what was coming. Microsoft may actually <gasp> be doing something right this time around.

Atlus sucks for not shipping enough copies of Sekaiju missed opportunity there. seems like they a) understimated demand for the game b) didnt care much for it and just wanted to get an engine running for future games (SMT?) and Sekaiju was basically just a 'test' of how good the engine is or something

theory B is pure speculation and it's not true (plz dont flame me)

I had a sterling insight upon seeing the first day numbers, but apparently I've forgotten what it was.

Anyway, 1 year anniversary of itprintsmoney! Woo!

I don't think I am. We know there were issues with getting FFIII carts made. We've now learned from Sinobi that there's only going to be... what, one shipment of DQMJ in February, and that'll be in the middle of the month? That's due to cart problems, too. And now we have Atlus, apologizing on its website for underestimating demand but saying it can't get the carts out.

It does seem to be a very real problem here that I think needs to be corrected, because it strikes me as more serious than an inability to provide a consistently high amount of hardware.

Well, Nintendo really need to increase their production capacity, for both Wii and DS. I think some of the problem is because Nintendo is too cautious, and don't want to take the risk of getting another "we stopped production because of inventory flooding" mistake they have with GC.

Yes, that is really going to happen with the DS. The bottom is going to fall out any time now.

Any time now...

Or you typed up all the names before the list was even out and just re-ordered them and added the numbers the same way I used to do it when I would create these threads. :)

It would also be nice if the new games were bolded like I used to do it. :)

Sounds somewhat cumbersome. Maybe my methods will be more obvious next week. ;)

People always post predictions in these threads. Are people so bent out of shape that they'd call for a ban over something this silly? I wish I had as few things to worry about in life.

While typing that, I was thinking of saying something to the effect of, "but now it's disgusting x10," but that would mean that it's 10 times worse.

So there went my initial attempt to still say something negative about the sales. But I couldn't think of anything and ended up pushing TAB ENTER instead.

Worldwide, I think it'll sell a good bit over a million.

Oh, come off it. The game's only had a single month of sales in the US. It'll perform just fine.

So is DQMJ the DS's 2nd platinum 3rd party title?
Click to expand...

Depending on who you ask, the 3rd. Supposedly FFIII broke it awhile ago (it has always been behind on MC charts versus Famitsu -- and it was at 970K last week on MC).

Honestly, can someone explain what is going on with PS3?
360 software is consistently outselling PS3 software on a weekly basis, but somehow PS3 hardware sales are three times higher each week. Considering how pitiful Blu-ray sales are, what is making the difference?

Potential.

Did you read ethelred's post? I think it's a pretty good guess at what happened.

And, come on... You've seen the game, does it look like they just slapped it together to get the framework for SMT DS done?

I didn't say "it's gonna bomb". I said "it didn't do nearly as well", and with more time to do better too.

I assume you've watched sales long enough to recognize the difference between the US and Japanese markets (in general)? How one is typically front-loaded in sales while the other tends to see sustained sales over the course of a range of months?

Comparisons between the game's performance in different regions is premature at this point, with only a single month of NPD data on it. Portable Ops will perform just fine over the longterm, worldwide and in the US specifically (where it most likely will eclipse the Japanese sales).

Is Nintendo taking turns shipping and undershipping DS games?

THere's no reason Kirby and Love and Berry should have dropped off, they were selling so nice.

I'm glad to see AC and NSMB still hanging around, but what also has happened to Pokemon? They've been massacred for 2 weeks now

It is true that North American sales are pretty evenly-loaded for many games, but it's a "wait and see" scenario I suppose.

Okay, but theory A doesn't cover what ethelred mentioned. Nobody was flaming you anyways, though I am surprised you could even think Atlus R&D1 would do that. :)

This is coming from someone who thinks Devil Summoner needed a lot more testing and tuning.
