[cvxfreak]

PS3 and Wii positions have now reversed for 2010.

This seems to happen every year.

 

[duckroll]

Looks like Ace Combat is going to clear 100k, 10% sales conversion from demo downloads.

 

[cw_sasuke]

I expected big number from OP - but 130K is really nice

edit

Damn no 6 already under 10K - 3DS needs to be released asap....

 

[Grampa Simpson]

PS3 and Wii positions have now reversed for 2010.

This seems to happen every year.

 

[Busaiku]

One Piece is really on fire this year.

 

[enishi]

Is it the best selling One Piece game so far (at least for first week)?

I can't remember any selling over 100k...

 

[Chris1964]

Media Create data are missing many One Piece games but going by Famitsu this is the second biggest opening week behind One Piece: Grand Battle 2 for Playstation 1.

 

[Regulus Tera]

One more week.

One more week.

 

[Chris1964]

One more week.

One more week.

[duckroll]

Media Create data are missing many One Piece games but going by Famitsu this is the second biggest opening week behind One Piece: Grand Battle 2 for Playstation 1.

Apparently something major is happening with One Piece recently in terms of the manga developments, and has boosted its popularity significantly in recent months. Everything released this year for One Piece is selling way better because of this popularity boost.

 

[Boney]

Was really hoping for 15k on Metroid, but it was more of wishful thinking.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

PS3 | 19.907 | 22.227 | 1.017.094 | 5.518.461 |
| WII | 15.031 | 16.080 | 1.015.473 | 10.620.672 |

 

[Regulus Tera]

But it's not a week. Pokemon comes out this Saturday and we will know what it sold (shipped) Monday morning.

Woohoo!

 

[jman2050]

Was really hoping for 15k on Metroid, but it was more of wishful thinking.

Hasn't it already sold better than Prime 3?

 

[Celsior]

Question, has Galaxy 2 hit the reduced price bin or is it still selling at full?

 

[Jokeropia]

PS3 and Wii positions have now reversed for 2010.

This seems to happen every year.

Like last time, I expect them to reverse again before year end.

 

[Boney]

Hasn't it already sold better than Prime 3?

Yeah, but that's Prime 3, no achievement in that whatsoever. Especially when they went over all that trouble to expand the franchise in Japan.

edit: So when is the King gonna settle down, all this back and forth has me tired

 

[farnham]

Like last time, I expect them to reverse again before year end.

with what though ? wiis last resort is kirby. maybe the 25th anniversary pack could boost sales but thats a limited release.

 

[wizword]

with what though ? wiis last resort is kirby. maybe the 25th anniversary pack could boost sales but thats a limited release.

wii holiday season will be bigger irregardless of this.

 

[schuelma]

Like last time, I expect them to reverse again before year end.

Possibly, but it won't be nearly as pronounced as last year if it does occur.

 

[Jokeropia]

with what though ? wiis last resort is kirby. maybe the 25th anniversary pack could boost sales but thats a limited release.

What wizword said. Last year, more than half of Wii's total YTD advantage came during the final week alone.

 

[c_k_i_t3]

Wii Party almost 1 million! (maybe next week)

 

[Chris1964]

Next week releases (22-23/09/10)

[apujanata]

05. / 03. [WII] Metroid: Other M (Nintendo) - 11.239 / 56.637 (-75%)

Die, Other M, die. I don't want to see any more game where Samus is "thumbs down" and "baby's cry".

 

[Stumpokapow]

Chris, I'd never heard that Nintendo was doing a Fossil Diggers/Fighters sequel. But you're right, here it is. Apparently it was announced or the website was opened or whatever today.

I also didn't know that The Last Story was still a '10 release; I assumed that last "delay" meant 'a '11 release.

 

[John Harker]

Die, Other M, die. I don't want to see any more game where Samus is "thumbs down" and "baby's cry".

Go, Other M, go!
Let's get an Other M 2 out the door before the Wii is dead - excited to see where the new, real Samus adventures next.

 

[MetatronM]

Apparently something major is happening with One Piece recently in terms of the manga developments, and has boosted its popularity significantly in recent months. Everything released this year for One Piece is selling way better because of this popularity boost.

Major stuff has been going on for a couple of years now in the One Piece manga. :lol

Right now the manga is on hiatus. I believe this week is the third out of four that the series is on break (the only break of this length in the manga's 13 year history). It's basically taking September off.

 

[Chris1964]

Chris, I'd never heard that Nintendo was doing a Fossil Diggers/Fighters sequel. But you're right, here it is. Apparently it was announced or the website was opened or whatever today.

A scan came out last week.

 

[Kard8p3]

Die, Other M, die. I don't want to see any more game where Samus is "thumbs down" and "baby's cry".

It'll sell well enough world wide to justify a sequel. I don't mind her characterization in the game so I wouldn't mind seeing more.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Apparently something major is happening with One Piece recently in terms of the manga developments, and has boosted its popularity significantly in recent months. Everything released this year for One Piece is selling way better because of this popularity boost.

It's doing a break/probably a timeskip right now.

That tends to reinvigorate shonen manga, though One Piece has never really been doing that badly.

 

[Kafel]

1.000.000 Wii Parties next week ?

 

[Chris1964]

1.000.000 Wii Parties next week ?

12th million seller for Wii (both Famitsu and Media Create).

 

[wsippel]

It'll sell well enough world wide to justify a sequel. I don't mind her characterization in the game so I wouldn't mind seeing more.

I wouldn't mind either. Very fun game.

 

[flintstryker]

Apparently something major is happening with One Piece recently in terms of the manga developments, and has boosted its popularity significantly in recent months. Everything released this year for One Piece is selling way better because of this popularity boost.

Yep One Piece is about to get even more kickass.

 

[Boney]

It'll sell well enough world wide to justify a sequel. I don't mind her characterization in the game so I wouldn't mind seeing more.

You don't know how badly I'm crossing my fingers for this.
What a game, seriously.

 

[farnham]

You don't know how badly I'm crossing my fingers for this.
What a game, seriously.

its great and all but with team ninja making Ninja Gaiden 3DS, Ninja Gaiden 3 and DOA Dimensions i see little chance that they will go back and make a sequel

quite a shame really.

 

[Boney]

its great and all but with team ninja making Ninja Gaiden 3DS, Ninja Gaiden 3 and DOA Dimensions i see little chance that they will go back and make a sequel

quite a shame really.

I just want it to validate itself for Nintendo to consider it a strong franchise. Hoping they can reach that 1.5 - 2 million worldwide.

 

[ZoddGutts]

its great and all but with team ninja making Ninja Gaiden 3DS, Ninja Gaiden 3 and DOA Dimensions i see little chance that they will go back and make a sequel

quite a shame really.

There also helping out on the battle system for koei's Ni Oh PS3 game.

Poor Other M. Hopefully this won't be the last home console Metroid by Sakamoto...

 

[Tenbatsu]

its great and all but with team ninja making Ninja Gaiden 3DS, Ninja Gaiden 3 and DOA Dimensions i see little chance that they will go back and make a sequel

quite a shame really.

Let's ask....Platinum Games!

Well, Nintendo could always take the development back fully in-house.

Apparently something major is happening with One Piece recently in terms of the manga developments, and has boosted its popularity significantly in recent months. Everything released this year for One Piece is selling way better because of this popularity boost.

Actually it seems that the movie Strong World was the major reason for the surge.

I just want it to validate itself for Nintendo to consider it a strong franchise. Hoping they can reach that 1.5 - 2 million worldwide.

I don't see how in the world this could reach Metroid Prime numbers, I mean I'll eat a whole plate of crow if I'm wrong on this (and you can even PM me if I forget about it) but I pretty much doubt it'll have any impact in the US.
And as for considering it a strong franchise, they actually finished their e3 09 conference with that, I can't see how bigger they could consider it especially when you see the net result (and btw it did jackshit to move the hardware in Japan so lower your expectations already...).

A scan came out last week.

Totally missed that

Zzz this week.

 

[noobie]

how much did PS3 n Wii did from Oct 2009 to Dec 2009?
wandering what they will achieve in last Quarter this year.

I just want it to validate itself for Nintendo to consider it a strong franchise. Hoping they can reach that 1.5 - 2 million worldwide.

at this point, it looks like Other M would be lucky to match even Zero Mission worldwide.

The back-and-forth discussion this week on PS3/Wii and Other M is entertaining.
