[Grampa Simpson]

44k. Not bad considering.

 

[Corwood Rep]

Wait, so what happened to all those PSP games?

 

[pilonv1]

So where does this rank for a first week RE game?

 

[mre]

Go go Ouendan 2.

 

[risky boots]

Yay Ouendan 2 !

 

[Fuzzy]

Now do it with the non-rounded numbers.

http://eg.nttpub.co.jp/ranking.html

 

[Kobun Heat]

OUENDAN IS BACK

Supply shortages confirmed

 

[CajoleJuice]

Observation Training???

...

 

[Michan]

Great start for Eye Training.

Wiimake? Not as great as I would have hoped, but it could have legs.

 

[polg]

good to see ouendan back on the charts

 

[Evlar]

 

[Stormbringer]

Glad to see Super Paper Mario holding strong. He actually gained one place from last week . Big Brain Academy is at the exact same place as it was last week. Both are showing reasonable legs.

 

[MrDaravon]

Anyone have RE4 numbers for Japan? IIRC the PS2 version did better over there, so I guess 44k isn't that suprising?

 

[Busaiku]

Aren't those like double the first Ouendan's sales?
Also suprising to see that Super Paper Mario and Brain Academy have legs (somewhat).

 

[JavyOO7]

Anxious to see if Ouendan has staying power...

Still can't believe NSMB. It truly is the business.

 

[Windu]

heh eye training, whats next listening?

 

[alejob]

Looking at Wii sports and Wiiplay looks like a 60K week for Wii.

 

[BrodiemanTTR]

OUUUEEENDAAAAAN!!!!

 

[Fuzzy]

heh eye training, whats next listening?

Artistic Training, aka Mario Paint.

 

[TheKingsCrown]

Jesus Christ NSMB...4.5 million! You are Jesus in a game box

 

[Michan]

heh eye training, whats next listening?

Perhaps reading comprehension.

 

[Dragona Akehi]

Great to see it over 100K!

 

[Hcoregamer00]

Aren't those like double the first Ouendan's sales?
Also suprising to see that Super Paper Mario and Brain Academy have legs (somewhat).

There is no doubt that Ouendan 2 will outsell it's predecessor like how Gyakuten Saiban 4 sold more than Gyakuten Saiban 3.

The question will be, by how much?

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

So where does this rank for a first week RE game?

Isn't this the worst opening ever for a numbered RE game, not counting the DC/GCN ports of RE2/3? Or did Deadly Silence do worse?

The GCN version opened 3.5x higher, and the PS2 version almost double that.

It appears that Japan is worn out on RE4. Hopefully the US sales will pick up the slack, the Wii really needs this game to do well (500k+ WW) for 3rd parties to take it seriously for M-rated content and complex action games.

Edit: Some quick and dirty calculations show that Wii Sports is going to outsell Final Fantasy XII in about 6 months if it continues at its current rate. 0_o

 

[Innotech]

Jesus Christ NSMB...4.5 million! You are Jesus in a game box

nah Nintendogs is obviously Jesus. NSMB is like, a disciple or some shit.

 

[Stormbringer]

Close enough.

Everybody knows it's a full-price port of a two year old game... I doubt they expect all THAT much.

 

[Fuzzy]

Except Nintendogs is at ~1/3 NSMB in Japan.

I don't understand why they priced it like that in Japan while we're getting it so cheap.

call me crazy, but I bet if the wii had something like....RE5 it miiight sell a bit more than a remake of a port. But that would be too logical for publishers I guess. Obviously if a remake sells poorly it means 3rd party M rated titles just wont sell on wii.

 

[Windu]

Close enough.

heh looks interesting, too bad that id probably play it twice and never again though.

Stop reading my mind!!!! :lol

how much WW has NSMB sold"? I was going by worldwide #s and nintendogs 14 million or something absurd like that.

 

[pilonv1]

I know you know these numbers very well cvxfreak so lets have them

 

[kuYuri]

I'm surprised to see Guilty Gear Accent Core and RE4 in the top 5.

Obviously past precedent showed that RE Zero sold much better than REmake in Japan, but we already know RE 5 isn't coming out on Wii.

So the question is, if Capcom sees RE: Umbrella Chronicles become a huge hit (relative to RE4 Wii or even RE5), will they simply create more on rails games for the Wii and keep the traditional games off of the system?

 

[Fuzzy]

WW numbers mean nothing in a MC thread.

 

[Windu]

RE4 is full price in japan? damn that sucks, I'm already having a hard time buying it again at $30 (even though it was a great game).

But for an enhanced port 29 months after the original release?

Man NSMB cannot be stopped. It deserves it too.

7/26, I think.

Well then, how did Code Veronica X do in 2001?

Deadly Silence debuted at around 20K.

Thank you.

Sorry for spamming the first page, I just really want to see games like this do well so the Wii doesn't get pigeonholed too early in its life.

 

[Hcoregamer00]

It should stop so we could have NSMB 2 that uses Mario World physics.

 

[cvxfreak]

Deadly Silence debuted at around 20K.

Well then, how did Code Veronica X do in 2001?

According to Famitsu it debuted at ~184,000 (or 181,000, can't remember the thousands digit) and ended up somewhere near 400K. The GCN port sold less than 10K, and it was the third version.
