I need this game.
I need this game.
Azalyn's store has similar trends to Comgnet stores:
Shipments:
PS3 Gran Turismo 5: 90
PS3 Gran Turismo 6: 47
WII Dragon Quest X: 30
WII Dragon Quest X Ver. 2: 10
WIU Dragon Quest X: 7
WIU Dragon Quest X Ver. 2: 8
3DS IE Neppuu / Raimei: 16
3DS IE Big Bang / Supernova: 11
- GT and IE down
- DQX expansion for Wii U possibly outselling the original release first week at retail stores
I think this is the 2nd week Wii Fit Plus is in the charts. People are getting ready for Wii Fit U. It's going to be huge.

It's not in the top 20.
FtS is going to sell significantly less and nobody should be screaming bomba next week because it is normal for re-releases with added content to perform this way.
Let's remember PSP go record breaking sales:

EIGHT copies? lol
Fantasy Life Link didn't chart on Comg either, but it sold 18k at launch and 70k LTD.
Not in the Top 20 so less than 20pt. I believe it will sell well though.

Bomba week redux.
Youkai Watch - 3,500 / 219,040 (+32%)
I need this game.
You tell me.
Cool to see the game is selling well. Level-5 actually started advertising it recently (TV ad 1, 2, 3 and new trailer)
Christmas + manga starting this month + anime starting January 8th... I wouldn't be surprised if we see the game charting again soon, though I have no idea how much of an impact all this will have on sales. Sales have been pretty good since release, nice and steady.
Me and Sammy Samusu really need this game.
Magicpaint

At least for DQX it is just an expanded version. The other two though, yikes. Level-5 have potentially killed off the Layton, Inazuma Eleven and Little Battlers franchises. Incredible.
fredrancour

I find business-y looks at game franchises super-fascinating but don't know crap about any of those franchises. What did they do to mess it all up?
Magicpaint
Member
In short: excessive milking. But also with Little Battlers they essentially switched genres for the newest entry.

Oh, I didn't expect it to set the charts on fire, was just wondering if we have numbers to compare it. I wish we had download numbers for Fantasy Life Link, maybe we could compare them next week.
Thanks anyway

It's amazing how fucking well GTAV has been doing in Japan.
Isn't 600+K a new sales records for the series on japanese territory?

No one should count Nintendo out, they are still a dominant force in the handheld market. But the WiiU ain't looking bright man.
But hey, at least it's guaranteed the WiiU will sell more than the xbox one in Japan.
I see what you did there

Should we consider Disney Infinity the true bomba of the week?
Wii U is gonna be 1 year-old this Sunday, but it's already been on 52 tracking weeks:
Code:
52 tracking-week total according to Famitsu:
3DS 5,075,956
GBA 4,916,845
PS2 4,242,257
WII 3,844,356
NDS 3,651,082
PSP 2,220,528
NGC 1,545,681
N64 1,430,000 (1)
PS1 1,400,000 (1)
PS3 1,273,555
WIU 1,200,339
SDC 1,104,177
PSV 1,026,491
BWS 777,856
XBX 365,512
360 195,276
NGP 145,599
(1) Number from pixel counting Famitsu chart, not from weekly sales. N64 is 54 weeks.Hmmm...let's not jump the gun.

Unfortunately the GOAT handheld's number is a little less with just 3,651,082. Still it more than made up for it in the next few years
I hope you're not suggesting for even a second that there's a statistically significant percentage that the Xbox One will do even 1/2 of the Wii U's sales in Japan.
Edit: On second thought, I guess there is a >1% chance of it doing 1/2 of Wii U's sales.
I'm curious about Link Between Worlds. Does anyone have that preorder tracker and how does it compare this far from launch vs. the DS Zeldas and OoT 3D?
More popular than Lightning at least
Why did you want that edit? There isn't. XB1 will be lucky to match the original XBox LTD.
While I agree it's extremely unlikely I don't think there's a less than 1% chance that it'll sell half of the Wii U Japan LTD. Basically all I'm saying is that it'd be shocking (but not impossible) for the Xbox1 to do the 360's LTD if MS decided to care about Japan. We haven't really seen their strategy for the region and so it's not completely inconcievable that they make a big Japanese push.(This is pretty redundant though, for what it's worth i'd still give it less than 2% chance of happening but at that point I'm just being stupid with the percentages I use.)
She's still popular
in my heart ;_;
I really doubt MS will change its stance towards the Japanese market this generation. They can moneyhat all the exclusives they can under the sun but it didn't work for the Xbox, it didn't work for the 360, and it certainly wouldnt help them with the Xbox one
I guess they want it for PS4.
Another game series less for Konami - the next Penguin no Mondai is being published by Alchemist http://www.al-kids.jp/penmon_plus/

Just look at the numbers for the previous ones.
The second installment in a generation always sells less (worldwide), and the series is on a downward trend in Japan.
Can't tell if it this is a joke or not lol.
Yea, you're right, but it just seems like a huge drop in terms of pre-order numbers. Hopefully it isn't as sharp of a decline as the pre-order numbers seem to indicate.
Hehe Konami is almost dead when it comes to game development. MGS, PES is what's left, Castlevania will be dead after the second Lords of Shadow game. Even MGS is made under Kojima productions name rather than Konami.
It's pretty clear that Wii was anomaly on the Nintendo way to irrelevance on home console market.
That chart isn't very helpful. Take out the handhelds and make it only show the other consoles' first year of sales. U will be struggling still, but a chart comparing it to the DS life-to-date frankly is absurd. Edit: I see your point is about the Wii and not the Wii U. Sorry for misreading, but I don't think anyone questioned Wii's phenomenal sales as out of the ordinary.

Famitsu released a HW sales chart back to '94!? Do you have a link?

Does anyone have the numbers of the sales of Wii U software? Like first week and LTD? I remember someone last week posting a link to their site that had stats, but I can't seem to find the link.
Today i went again to the main Bic Camera shop in Ikebukuro and now both versions of Dragon Quest X are sold out.

[PS3] Gran Turismo 6 - 30-40%
[WII] [WIU] Dragon Quest X - more than 80%

[3DS] Inazuma Eleven Go 3 - 20%
[WIU] Mario & Sonic - 5%

Did Sega/Nintendo have ridiculous expectations for Mario & Sonic (at least at Bic camera)? Or did they have low expectations and it still sold miserably? I remember that the last Winter Mario & Sonic only opened at 19k on the Wii. I can't expect its mediocre sequel to do decently on the Wii U's much smaller install base.
Also, good to hear about Dragon Quest X. Hopefully it at least sells decently. Any idea whether it seemed like there was more stock for the initial Wii U release or for this expansion? Thanks.
