I seriously doubt Wii Sports Resort will drop by more than 50% in its third week. Personally, I'd be surprised if it's under 90K with just over 100K being more likely to me.

I don't think it's too far fetched to assume the majority of Dragon Quest sales went to people who already own the system right? So how much of an effect to you guys think it'll have on DSi sales?

Since you weren't paying attention I'll announce the announcement of the results.

No effect.

Come again tomorrow for the big reveal.

Was expecting more too tell you the truth, but that sure is a massive amount of copies sold during that week.

How do the numbers compare too the past 2 other installments from 7?

It's safe to say this week it'll be over 100k for the DS, so probably about 80k for the DSi. At least, that's what the leaked numbers (not Media Create) are saying.

I'd guess ~550k before it falls off the charts.

The DS install base is bigger than the PS2's, so yeah, there aren't that many DQ fans left who don't already own a DS.

What leaked numbers are you referring to? Famitsu had higher DS values for this week than Media Create.

That's not the point, I was asking for a simple opinion, it's nothing to get snippy about. There's nothing wrong with it.

I'm not being snippy, i was just trying not to answer your question directly in hopes you'd find your answer.

DQ9 should not cause a huge jump on dsi sales.

potential DQ9 owners have known about the announcement for a while and the effect of the game was spread out for months.

Why would it do that? People have DQ9 to play.

I'm surprised Resort held up as much as it did given it was DQ week. If you were going to buy a game this week, surely you go with the cultual phenomenen one, you can get something else next week.

If this sucker has legs they'll easily reach that milestone, I imagine it'll be a big seller for a long time to come.

Wonder why Square decided to release KH and DQ so close to each other. Doesn't really make much sense.

Because DQIX was supposed to be released in Q1 this year, and KH DS was supposed to be late Q2. Both games ended up getting delayed. Lol.

Wonder if they will release KH:Birth by Sleep and FFXII this year in Japan. If so then highest Square year ever?

That's very unlikely. Judging by DQVIII's sales it should sell ~600k copies in its second week (and this number is under the assumption that DQIX will have a higher drop than DQVIII in its second week, and I personally doubt that this will happen).

Kingdom hearts passed 500k on the ds , PSP version will sell +million properly
Click to expand...
More than a million? KH2 sold ~1,2 million copies (without rereleases), I doubt that a PSP spin-off will reach these numbers.

Good for Squenix, and for everyone who wants them to make more traditional RPGs.

Terrible software sales outside the top 5 though. Not all boats always rise with the tide.

If i'm not mistaken, KHBBS isn't a spinoff, more like a prequel.

Looks like gaming in Japan isnt dead just yet. But its sad that only old IPs actually sell well these days. Except "Wii (insert name)" games.
