So it's still on track to be worse than Gamecube, better than Dreamcast.
A price drop would probably erase any threat of being overtaken by Dreamcast.

Should cross the streams with PS3 next week unless it gets a bump.
Thanks for posting!

Just went to check out what Fifa usually does in japan but apparently they don't release them over there?

Any guesses on how Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition could sell?
I'd say in the range 200-300k.

Oh went to wiki and it didn't have release dates, was going to cross release dates with the thread archive to see first weeks.
seems they do pretty small numbers especially in handheld.
If The FF Type series ever goes 3DS-exclusive i'll probably give up handheld JRPGs for good. That is one game that needs all the power it can get.

What cause the GCN to jump up like that? Was it Melee?
I think you're misunderstanding me. Or I'm misunderstanding you. One of the two. I think we're actually in agreement.
I was saying that the difference between this week's drop and last week's drop is practically the same, so the tens of units that makes up that difference is statistical noise. The drops themselves are indeed a trend; I was just pointing down that the variance in the rate of change of drop simply noise.
In other words, it's approximately dropping linearly - with no sign of any levelling off.
The obvious 'moneyhat' for MH is pushing it in the West. That's still a bit of a holy grail for the series. It *appears* that Capcom were satisfied with Nintendo's help for MH Tri on Wii - am I misremebering, or is it the best-selling console MH in the west?

John Dunbar
correct about everything
This might be a stupid questions, but why are all the Musou/Warriors games lumped together? Aren't they made by different companies (Dynasty/Samurai by Koei-Tecmo, One Piece by Namco-Bandai) and are pretty much totally different games?
It's called One Piece Musou for a reason.
Also are you aware of the concept of publishers and developers as different entities as well as the concepts of IP ownership and licencing?

Musou games are Musou games, OP sold because of the power of OP franchise, not game mechanics (which people say is pretty bad for a Musou game).
No and no.
John Dunbar
correct about everything
And that reason is? I am not familiar with Musou games. As far as I know it might not have been any different than both Assassin's Creed and Resident Evil shoving "Revelations" on them, just some generic title.
And no need to get salty. I was just asking a question.
edit: oh, i see, it was developed by Tecmo Koei.
I've given you all the clues, figure it out yourself, you'll feel less stupid that way.
Edit: Oh, looks like you already have. See that wasn't hard to figure out.
John Dunbar
correct about everything
John Dunbar's tag might need to be revoked.
it is rather pompous, not to mention woefully incorrect. though considering what it used to be, i suppose that is the point.
aren't you a delight.
That much is certainly true.
I get snarky when I'm tired. Deal with it.
Plus It really was a stupid question and I figured others would tell you outright anyway.
Edit: I'm not immune to this phenomena.
Japan is like bizarro land for Fifa.pieatorium said:
Back when it wasn't very good it sold well - but the better it was doing in the west (and the better the game got) the worse Japanese sales get.
Funny thing is that EA even tried to build a Japan-specific version of Fifa at some point (with a dedicated Japanese studio for it and all) and that did nothing for its popularity there either.
John Dunbar's tag might need to be revoked.
To be fair, he was asking rather than asserting.
Gundam UC (this week biggest release, or is't Project Mirai?)

Have you ever actually looked at the copyrights on Dragon Quest games? I'm not convinced this is really so cut and dry...

01./00. [PS3] One Piece: Pirate Warriors # <ACT> (Bandai Namco Games) {2012.03.01} (¥8.190) - 655.774 / NEW
Wow. I knew that it would do well ,but I didn't expect such big numbers. Good for Namco.
02./00. [3DS] Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games <SPT> (Nintendo) {2012.03.01} (¥4.800) - 43.155 / NEW
Good start. The original wii and DS game did better ,but it outsold all the sequels.
03./02. [3DS] Harvest Moon: The Land of Origin <SLG> (Marvelous AQL) {2012.02.23} (¥5.040) - 27.378 / 108.509 (-66%)
Best second week for a portable HM game according to the numbers posted here. I wonder why it's suddenly outselling the older games?
05./15. [3DS] Theatrhythm Final Fantasy <ACT> (Square Enix) {2012.02.16} (¥6.090) - 21.540 / 99.532 (+100%)
And Square finally shipped more. About time. I wonder how many sales they might have lost with shipping too few copies.
13./13. [3DS] Resident Evil: Revelations <ADV> (Capcom) {2012.01.26} (¥5.990) - 7.444 / 251.560 (-39%)
It's still in the top 20? I'm honestly surprised. Good news.

| PSV | 10.023 | 11.186 | | 160.035 | | 600.021 |
That One piece bundle shoots PS3 close to 3DS heaven while 3 month old Vita joins a bunch of near death consoles.
It's almost strange to see one Sony platform rise and another fail miserably.

A lot of potential bombas there.
Girls RPGS is out and will be in next week MC thread correct? Is there any hype or excitement for it or do people mostly not know/not care?
It's already out.
About the hype...eeerr... I don't think too much, but who knows for games like this, designed for a certain audience, not "core".

Sorry I meant "next weeks MC" not actually releasing next week lol. And thanks for the info

If Girls RPG does well, it will only be over the long haul. This isn't the sort of game to do huge numbers upfront.

Project Mirai should easily top 100k copies. Just the first print of LE was about 50k.
frankie_baby

It did about 3 times better on comgnet preorders, its selling higher on amazon, yeah i'm sure
How does the DW Gundam series fit into this? Garaph sadly seems to be missing a lot of data on DWG2/3. But it has 313k LTD for the first one.
Not anymore 50k. It seems they increased that number due to preorders. In fact, the preorders of the limited edition saw some rises due to its increase.

That's why I said "first print". I would have wanted to say that we know the LE was initially set at 50k copies.

Yeah, that's the big dog. Here's a Garaph search sorting best-to-worst all games with "Pachi" in the title. The top 20 are all PS2 games of at least 100K.
They're in there, but there's some pretty inconsistent naming, with things currently split between "Dynasty Warriors Gundam", "Dynasty Warriors: Gundam", and "Gundam Musou".Rolf NB said:

Media Create Sales: Week 9, 2012 (Feb 27 - Mar 04)
Now that I realize, PlayStation 2 was released on March 4th 2000. 12 years later the mighty Sony beast is still charting in the Media Create charts.
Congratulations!

So, what do you guys think would be a GOOD first week for MGS3: SE 3D?
Not talking about your expectations, but numbers that would actually make you say "good numbers!'
I think anything above 50k would be definitely positive, I'm probably one of the few who thinks the game could pull 55k first week and a 100k+ LTD.
Edit:
The game comes out today iirc, could we get some ballpark numbers for first day sales tomorrow?
Also, has Konami marketed the game at all on tv (what about the HD edition) and do you gather the budget of the project was similar than that of PW HD? Another thing is that I don't know how the cost of a bluray stacks up to a 4GB N3DS cartridge, but I'd think the latter would be definitely more expensive.
