These threads sure die fast without Wii/PSP discussion eh? :lol
Well, lets have some amazon talk / next releases then...
http://amazon.co.jp/gp/bestsellers/videogames/ref=sv_vg_2
- #1 Brawl went up for pre-order again surprisingly, and its sold out (of preorders) already. Seems amazon was allocated a few more units than expected. Then comes Brawl's victims releasing 1/31 too:
- ToD DC limited edition #2, which will make it very front-loaded, not even due to being a Tales, a RPG and a PS2 game but because the fans will always pick up the LE. At least Namco is putting up 200k LE (normal edition seems to be 100k at most).
- Haruhi PS2 LE #3. Same again, just like Haruhi PSP or Lucky Star PS2 next week (1/24).
- DMC4 PS3 #4, 360 #19
- Disgaea 3 only #12, uhm...I smell danger here.
- Valkyrie of the Battlefield PS3 (SEGA 4/24) LE preorder went up, and its sold out already. Guess there are fans who want to pay 2k extra for the cheap tank, figurine and artbook.
- Some PSP models, Wii and Wii Fit sold at a premium price (resellers) due to amazon being sold out of them, as usual.
1/24 important releases:
#6 Lucky Star PS2 LE
#38 WE 2008 PSP
#50 Lucky Star PS2
#51 Yggdra Union PSP
I think Lucky Star is going to pull some awesome numbers first day due to the Limited Edition that its fans will get. Of course it won't expand much on the weekend or week after that, its appeal is the limited edition. I think we could be looking at 75k-100k first week.
What do you expect from WE PSP?
2005 - Launched in September, 88k first week, 244k LTD (40k The Best!)
2006 - Launched in December, 26k first week, 100k LTD
2007(2008) - Launched in January...
YSO guys seem to think that it'll do as good as the first one. I just don't know where they base such expectations. 4 versions have launched already, and this one is just like them, at least the Wii version is somehow original.

Not feeling like adding much to the thread eh? Important as in known titles showing in the amazon chart. There is only a DS Tennis game at #84 other than those.Pureauthor said:

pfft..>_<
it never stops amazing me that nintendo won't make a single, not even one move to increase enthusiasm as long as they can't catch up with demand worldwide. With Wii fit and Smash Bros targeting both the casual, new breed of gamers and the traditional nintendo hardcore gamers in Japan, I think we won't see colors or bundles anytime soon anywhere, not even in Japan where wii demand was at its lowest worldwide.
Now, if nintendo could reach the only sector of gamers they can't seem to reach, the traditional hardcore, I can't imagine the level of domination.

It makes sense, from business point-of-view. With increased enthusiasm (probably by new color etc), you will only set yourself up for more unrealized potential sales (and profit). No company in their right mind will release new color or do bundles when they still have difficulty maintaining stock in the retail channel. I hope that by February or March, the stock level of Wii in US have returned to standard (means you can go to a store and pick them up), otherwise, I can see SSBB making those stock disappear again in March.
In Japan, I think there should be wii available by mid of January (if it was ever out-of-stock before in December).
Any feedback on Wii availability in Tokyo ?

So just looking at some software stuff today, I noticed that Mario & Sonic has beat the GCN and GBA Mario sports games, and should soon overtake DS's Mario Hoops. Its DS counterpart could give it some competition, though.
Once Mario has depleted all the coins from a block, it's just a waste of his time to keep jumping and hitting it.sphinx said:

Someone needs to work on their mario jokes.
Anyways, Smash releases the same week as Devil May Cry 4 and Disgaea 3, right? I wonder how many pages that week's media create thread will be.
(or then again, maybe half of the discussion will occcur when we get first day sales, if they're still released?)

I can't imagine Nintendo will ship that many copies, to be quite frank. They've already sent out warnings to Japan and some US retailers saying "stop selling pre-orders because your launch allocation barely covers them".

The DS doesn't really need to outsell the PSP hardware-wise, when you've hit 20 million, somehow, you've got to start slowing down a little bit, and the PSP is in the best shape it has ever been in Japan, so I'd expect the PSP to start consistently outselling the DS until either a price drop or a new model is announced.
For now though, the DS will still have the lionshare of software sales, but I'm sure devs are taking notice of the recent PSP sales surge. It's too hard to ignore.

I'd expect that the usual Nintendo fan wouldn't pre-order a game, ike a 360 fan would.....
Soccer moms even know what pre-ordering is??

They should utilize that 1 month delay for US release to press more SSBB disc. Don't tell me they still have plastic shortage, even when the format is DVD, not mini DVD ?

As long as those H/W sales surge are accompanied by S/W sales surge, I am sure that devs will notice it.

Very, very few people purchase the PSP as a (legitimate, non-pirate) gaming device, so I doubt they're that ready to rush to it.
