Wasnt Dark Souls released for Xbox 360 in Japan? Could be charting less than 20. place though, but that would make a huge difference between the PS3 and the Xbox 360 version.
EDIT: The Wii didnt go down that much though, so it was relatively stable compared to last week's sales.
All except for the Wii.Mpl90 said:

Wow, the 3DS got a boost. Even after the little boost from last week. I'm pleasantly surprised.
Also, the PS3 and PSP are doing quite well, and PS3 software has never been more healthy so it seems.
Only the Wii seems to have fallen of the cliff for good.

I wonder if they'll do a 2nd shipment, seeing as I believe they only shipped 60K?

The pricedrop also probably helped quite a bit. I wonder how the 3DS would have sold if it didnt get the pricedrop, but still got all these games. Unfortunately we will never know it, but i'm still curious about it. But great reat 3DS sales regardless thoughSaiyar said:

Great numbers for 3DS indeed. And I don't think it's all because of Kagura, which actually has opened really well, higher than expected by me and other people.

Did not expect that 3DS bump at all. It'll probably fall into the 40-55K range during October due to the software drought, but none of that will matter come November.

strangely, the game is almost 2D, very few parts of the game have 3D, even cutscenes are 2D, and also gameplay, etc
so, Boobs > anything!

I expected a boost after TGS, but getting up to 70k so early isn't what I was thinking lol. It surely has to be based on MH3G, right? Very odd, I knew the system would sell a truck load of units when Mario and Monhon hit, but seeing 70k units 1 month before Mario? Man, the 3DS numbers in November-December are going to be BEASTLY....

Not the boobs closeups. They're in thhhrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ddddddeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, I reckon that Tetris 3DS might be a surprise hit as well (especially with the AR stuff and with Nintendo pushing it. Tetris DS was quite the hit in the early stages of the DS' life!)

3DS revving its engine, impressive.

I remember when we used to congratulate you for your wedding announcement and the birth of your baby. Now you're telling me that your said baby is already pretty independant ? Wow, I feel older :x Vinnk's Village was always a nice addition. In this incertain sales-age period in which so many things could happen,it would be very nice to rely on musings. Thanks a ton in advance if you do it
What 3DS linked event could possibly make the stock market rocket ? I guess high sales around the world of course but what other news could inflect it ? More functionalities or price drop in games ? Is there any future event that may be very likely and would adjust the stock market direction sky ?

They simply are the number 1 by unit sales volume.
Honestly, I don't think there's a great mysticism about it. The Namco side has a few key franchises, including Tales, which reliably do well in Japan. Namco alone might be most comparable to Sega, who basically have the same MO, or even Square Enix. Meanwhile, the Bandai side pumps out an unending tide of licensed/anime properties. Combine the two sides and it's not a surprise they'd be one of the largest publishers if not the largest.
Just IMO, maybe someone would look at the data and actually see some surprisingly trend I haven't seen.

something that Nintendo doesn't expect. Short term investors are interested in fast profit, but Nintendo themselves predicted low profits for this fiscal year, so unless something happens that exceeds their expectations, this probably won't change.
For example, Iwata said that they expect Wii to sell very good during holiday, so although it will probably do, it won't make the stock take a jump, as Nintendo had thought of this yet they predicted a very low profit.
Probably a record high 3DS sale will do the trick, or if Wii wasn't selling this abysmally, it could have risen.

6% drop is in response to iphone 5 announcement date not 3DS sales.
Speaking of eating crow, where did those people saying that PSP would start outselling 3DS again in September go?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
It didn't affect Sony's stock, though, which is really silly.
Ah, of course. They're jumping ship because they think iPhone 5 will be the nail in the the 3DS's coffin.east of eastside said:
