A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...
And Inazuma 11's stubby little legs just keep on running. 300k soon, then it's an official success!

Jonnyram said:It should have been a DS game. There was absolutely no reason to move it to Wii. The graphics didn't even make that big of a jump.
Edit: some stuff from Shibuya at lunchtime. SF4 selling fast on both PS3 and 360. Couldn't find a copy of Skate 2 for 360 anywhere
Man, I should hope SFIV sells. If it can't move units then it proves the Fighting genre is dead and buried for the forseeable future.

I think it's more that it's the middle of february without a huge release out. Last year had Brawl at this time. 2007 did almost exactly the same as this week.

Quite low sales on the Wii front, I guess next week we will see the PS3 outsell the Wii with SF4 sales, wonder if it can do it for a couple of weeks, at least until Yakuza hits, then another few weeks.

Vinnk said:Yup, I saw a few ads for it.
Unlike Fragile there is no excuse or spin anyone can put on this. It is simply the market totally rejecting a game.
And it makes me
I wonder why it was rejected.
You should ask around.

So with the 90%+ sell-through on Demon's Souls that pretty much means it's been unavailable on the shelves, right? (after the first couple days, I mean) I'd be interested to know how big the 2nd shipment is, and if people are able to buy it now. Definitely looking forward to next week's MC to see how if it has legs or not.

Shinobi mentioned that the 2nd shipment sold out extremely quickly too, so I guess it's time to wait for a 3rd shipment!(probably today). It's pretty evident now that sony handled the distribution poorly . Who knows how much it could have sold if there was marketing and actual units shipped.

How did the original Another Code do? And Hotel Dusk/Wish Room? I might be wrong, but I seem to recall the latter at least doing pretty well. Perhaps there just isn't an audience for adventure games on Wii in Japan and it'd have been better off on DS.
I think if there IS a Hotel Dusk/Wish Room sequel, it'll now almost certainly be a handheld follow-up.

WTF is it with Japan liking RE0 more than REmake?

yeah, this is a bad trend. To the casualty list you can include Zack&Wiki, Klonoa, Fatal Frame, Tenchu 4, No More Heroes, The Sky Crawlers, and TvCapcom underperforming. Sure, there might be decent reasons why each and every one of those games failed to catch on, but taken altogether its not encouraging at all. I'm seeing a disturbing trend towards "real games" not finding much of an audience on the JPN Wii, and that's a serious bummer.BorkBork said:

Waaaait a tick, Fatal Frame IV sold better than any other Fatal Frame IIRC, and Suda was ecstatic over NMH sales. Those two games don't really belong in the list.

ToW2 is hanging in there!
Demon's Souls is doing good for the shipment it got, I agree that it should have been given more attention and a bigger shipment. Yet it was one of those games that would underperform, so why did it perform well? There was pretty much no buzz or coverage for it :/
The rest is kind of meh and expected.

I have no idea how it went down on the ground in Japan, but the Nicovideo buzz was significant and reached wide. Pretty much just that kept GAF's official thread afloat for two weeks. Plus it just comes across as a good game. It's not one of those games that seem interesting at first glance but then crumble under inspection.RpgN said:

Ye, there might be some recession as inner-G said, but i also think that this is the main reason as well, that there arent any huge release out as you said.Galactic Fork said:
It seems to be rather unusal though, or at least we didnt see too many weeks in 2008 where the number 1 spot on the chart sold below 50k. I browsed through the Famitsu Top 30 charts for 2008 and i only found 2 weeks where the number 1 spot had sold less than 50k. I only browsed through the charts rather quickly though so maybe i missed the numbers on some weeks.
There were also like 3 weeks where there werent any full Famitsu charts, what is the reason for this? Were there Golden Week and/or some vacation in Japan in these weeks so we didnt get?

Why is it amazing? Wii owners are tired of getting shafted and so now they are getting literally DS ports (instead of PSP ports)....what was the reaction supposed to be?
I applaud Japan for finally making a statement, though 30k sold of the Wii version puts it above some of the recent "bombs" on the Wii :lol
You need to remove Fatal Frame from your list it does not belong there, as was said earlier it sold the most out of the entire series on a platform that has less of a userbase then the other series releases had. If anything it did what it needed to by moving the niche fan base it had from the PS2, which is something not a lot of Wii games have been able to do (see ToS DoTNW which did not match its predecessors GC sales)
