I'd have thought 34k was pretty good for a sound novel. Has Chun Soft had a bigger hit in that genre in recent years?

In comparison, those numbers are decent, probably a drop from 2007, but still decent ones.

Did you miss the "360-in-PS3-place-and-viceversa" six (seven?) weeks streak?
Now, the question is whether they can keep this going at least until Biohazard 5. They have games to mantain the momentum, but last year right after DMC4 PS3 dropped from 25k average straight to below 10k, so eh.

[PSP] LocoRoco 2 (SCE) - 5,100 / NEWtest_account said:
[NDS] Sekai no Gohan Shaberu! DS Oryouri Navi (Nintendo) - 3,400 / NEW
No one mentioned it yet but Cooking Navi 1 from Nintendo sold 117k first week and 875k LTD. Yet this 'sequel' has sold 3,4k first week.
I wouldn't go by LocoRoco LTD though, they overshipped a ton, word of mouth wasn't good and going from my own experience this is Loco Roco 1.1. Doesn't look like SCEJ pushed it as much as the first one either. Still bomba.
Kamaitachi no Yoru 3 (PS2, 2006) - 104k first week (162k LTD). This was a big franchise though, 2nd on PS2 sold 352k, 1st on PS1 sold 333k.Hero of Canton said:

The world saddens me, How can complete rip-off copy cat games sale this much and actually somehow go up in the sales rankings(who knows why). But Avalon code and Winds of Nostalgia just died in the sales market.

Wow, that is a pretty big difference on that Cooking Navi game compared to the previous game(s) in that serie as well, like it is with LocoRoco 1 and 2 too. Is there any particular reason for that?Kurosaki Ichigo said:
Ah ok, pity :\ It seems that LocoRoco 1 had some decent legs though, since it took like 4-5 months to go from about 32k in the first week of sales to it reached about 154k, and since LocoRoco 2 did pretty poor compared the LocoRoco 1's LTD, i wondered if LocoRoco 1 maybe was bundled with a PSP or something.
But as you said, if the word to mouth was bad for LocoRoco 1 and if LocoRoco 2 is basicly LocoRoco 1.1, then this might be some reasons for why LocoRoco 2 sold pretty poor in it's first week of sales. Ye, i think LocoRoco 2 seems like a bomb indeed, but i think it might end up selling alittle better, atleast by going after the legs that LocoRoco 1 had, but if LocoRoco 2 is basicly LocoRoco 1.1 and if people are aware of this, then there might be some much shorter legs with LocoRoco 2 compared to LocoRoco 1.
Oh, and i ment 5100 copies by the way, not 5800 as i first wrote, i have no edited my previous post here
I guess i should have double checked the numbers before i wrote hehe, i am sorry about that, thanks for pointing that out! Segata Sanshiro

LocoRoco 2 doesn't even have any new songs. I'm starting to think Sony got what they deserved with this one.

It is pretty wierd that there arent any new songs concidering that it is a sequel (hence the "2" in the game title). It sounds more like a expansion pack than a sequel, or maybe even expansion packs have new songs heheSegata Sanshiro said:
It doesnt sound like Sony put too much work into LocoRoco 2 Paracelsus said:
Wow, so Sony fans have sunken so low with their expectations that beating the 360 3 to 1 in Japan is considered good now? The PS2, the predeccesor to the PS3 and console which outsold the original Xbox 45, I repeat, 45 times to 1.
Oh and comparing weeks in December to other weeks during the year speaks volumes about your knowledge regarding sales. Ever heard of holidays? Ever heard of December being 3-4 times bigger than other months? Don't compare weeks in December with other weeks except if they are weeks from previous December months from previous years.

spwolf said:
the real error isn't the black math, it's conflating weekly sales with lifetime sales. the reason why the PS2 dominated by such margins is that it launched earlier and stayed alive later, so while it may have only outsold 5:1 or 10:1 on a weekly basis, it also had several years of outselling everyone else by an infinite margin.
Frillen said:
But ... the holidays (december) only count for ps3 or for x360 too ... and x360 is selling worse than without holidays ... strange, well for me not (some rpgs have to say hi) but you say that holidays ...
All the home consoles are selling really bad comparing not only with the last gen, comparing with the last year. I don't see any surprise.

Wow, that is alot of PS1 and PS2 games released!Parmenides said:
Are that 5,596 PS2 games in Japan alone?I read something that there were like 8000 PS2 games released worldwide, and i had no idea how that was possible, but if Japan got 5,596 PS2 games alone, and if you count the NTSC and the PAL version as 2 "games" of their own, i guess there is a possibilty that there could be around 8000 PS2 releases worldwide.By the way, 357 PS3 games in Japan alone, are there really that many PS3 games in Japan? That is something around 3 PS3 games being released every week. Or does this list counts for the PSN-only games/titles as well?
EDIT: I just checked garaph.info and i found 78 PS3 games. I dont think there exist about 279 PSN-only titles/games. Maybe those 357 PS3 games also include the PSone re-releases through PSN?

What is this one? I read a couple short stories by Edogawa Ranpo for a literature class this semester. From Wikipedia:
"Rampo was a great admirer of western mystery writers, and especially of Edgar Allan Poe. The pseudonym "Edogawa Rampo" is actually a Japanese rendering of Poe's name. Other authors who were special influences on him were Maurice Leblanc and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle."
Anyways, the stories we read were pretty creepy-sweet. Y'all should read "The Human Chair" by him, I thought it was cool. Does anybody know any details about this game?

I don't have my database in front of me, but I have something like 150 PS3 games with data. 300+ may be too high, but < 100 is also way too low.
Spiegel said:
We'll probably never see it sell its first shipment. I think Famitsu stops tracking games when they fall below some weekly level, so whatever its 2008 total is will probably be the last time we see it.
lo zaffo said:
Do you have a coherent point here? If you do, I'm just not seeing it. Some games don't sell as well as others? Some games bomb? Some games don't?
What is your point with this statement?
Definitely... I'm looking at japanese plannings regularly (*mk2, for example), and Wii usually gets far more release than PS3. I would be surprised to see PS3 ahead of Wii on this count, and even close would surprise me. On the three last month of 2008, IIRC, it was something like three times more Wii titles than PS3 titles (I'm talking Japan & retail)Captain Smoker said:Hmm, could you post your source, because the number of released PS3 - titles seems too high to me.

Don't post bullshit numbers. Damn annoying. These forums are read by tens of thousands of people that will take this post as a fact at a glance. When you post something that is "definitive", give it a well respected source that everyone can agree upon, such as Garaph. For now we all know you just pulled these numbers out of your ass. Don't do it again.

Not really just a few army bases here and there. I doubt that a few hundred of them even contributed to those sales. It's the same reason why games like Disgaea do decent here, a fanbase for foreign entertainment.

What third party bombs? 428 did fine, and Klonoa was a low budget remake of a 2 generation old game. I'm not saying that all third party games have done peachy on the Wii, but it isn't like this is a usual thing.
