Sigh, it's sad when you try looking up a game in Yahoo and most the hits are to download it.

Mario Kart Wii in the Top 10!

Such is the power of Nino-kun.

They started a new TV and web campaign for it last week, guiding the New Super Mario Players to Mario Kart. Seems it pays to advertise your games.

26. / 00. [PSP] Knights in the Nightmare (Sting)

Sting sales always depress me, but I'm glad it somehow seems to work for them. :I
Even though a KitN PSP port was a pretty stupid idea anyway.

 

[mujun]

I'm guessing that SSFIV did well. The 360 standard version was a pain in the ass to track down for me, sold out in a bunch of major stores.

 

[ollin]

These people probably bought them. :lol

 

[cvxfreak]

So, today was Peace Walker launch day.

I managed to be at two different areas of major shopping sites today (Ikebukuro and Ginza-Yurakucho) and the lines were actually shorter than I expected. I think even Monster Hunter 3 had longer lines. By the early afternoon, I didn't notice an overwhelming amount of people buying the game, as compared to past experiences where even in the evening, a flurry of people would be buying the game (as what happened with MH3, NSMB Wii, FFXIII, DQIX). The PSP bundles are not sold out, and there seems to be plenty to go around.

There isn't any real coverage of lines either. Just the World Tour stuff with moderate sized crowds (which I'm sure were restricted to an extent).

I'll have to pay attention tomorrow and during the weekend to see how the game fares. It should have a good start, but I'm counting on this game having good legs rather than an explosive debut.

There is something going on there, though.

People won't take something they don't want, even for free....

I wonder what message should nintendo be getting out of this.

i bet they'll axe cel-shaded Zelda.

 

[gerg]

i bet they'll axe cel-shaded Zelda.

While I was wholeheartedly wrong in suggesting that Spirit Tracks was outperforming Phantom Hourglass, the shortened development time and re-used assets must mean that Nintendo's managed to eke some sort of respectable profit out of the release.

Even then, cel-shading's not the problem when Phantom Hourglass did so well.

YES, the influence of Arashi is like.... ENORMOUS

 

[RurouniZel]

YES, the influence of Arashi is like.... ENORMOUS

Every time they put out a new ad for NSMBWii or MKWii, my sister makes it a point to show it to me. She's obsessed with Arashi, and judging by their large sales figures (which she's also eager to remind me of at all times...), so are lots of other women.

It's certaintly paying off. She wanted to play NSMBWii with me when she doesn't really like games, all because of the Arashi commercials.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

Well, I hope that dumb platform differentiation idea ends up being worth it for SE...

Just now reading about the difference. That seems... strange. Wikipedia says they figured one protagonist would be more Japan-friendly and one more west-friendly. Didn't they try that with another game (The Last Remnant?), except not actually making each character unique to a release with a slightly different title?

 

[Chris1964]

Speaking of fallen companies, there is a new challenger in Japan.
There isn't a single one big franchise from SCE that isn't declining since PS1 days. Only Gran Turismo and Hot Shots Golf have some remaining selling power from the big sellers of the past.
Sony is doing a great job to take the crown from Sega.

Every SCE IP that sold more than 200k (and had a sequel).

Media Create 2009 top 500 is up, right in time for Golden Week
The guy from geimin said he will upload and the rest 500 games from top 1000.
We have again first week sales and first week sellthrough for every game that charted.

[markatisu]

There is something going on there, though.

People won't take something they don't want, even for free....

I wonder what message should nintendo be getting out of this.

Do not put Link on a train is about the only message I got

I can't tell but I think this is Galaxy selling over a million:

They started a new TV and web campaign for it last week, guiding the New Super Mario Players to Mario Kart. Seems it pays to advertise your games.

[Lagspike_exe]

SCE game sales.

This data is unreal... It's like they make a huge IP and then SOMEHOW manage to absolutely DESTROY its sales. What's the cause? Lack of marketing or what?

If the solution could be provided in a single forum post then I kinda doubt they'd be in this situation.

We have again first week sales and first week sellthrough for every game that charted.

2009's biggest first week bomba: [WII] Karaoke Joysound DX - 7.37%

2009's biggest sell-through on first week: [PS3] Demon's Soul - 95.21%

Are you going to start a thread for it?

That's a clever answer.

So how many copies of Nier actually shipped? Is this in line with expectations, or is it a bomb of epic proportions? Will I be able to pick up Replicant for 980 yen at Yodobashi? Etc.

On the other hand:

[NDS] Prof. Layton and the Curious Village = 998,082
[PSP] Dissidia FF + Universal Tunning = 981,852

Fuck this shit.

I thought I would never have to see this fucker's face again after I broke up with my crazy eternally-teenage girlfriend three years ago.

Ugh.

... Well, at least he's selling Mario Kart Wii now, so I guess that's ok.

It is sold out everywhere, so I imagine they shipped... 60,000. Not looking like it will hit the wagon anytime soon. But if you were open to cracking a copy of Gestalt...

Awesome, we can basically add one more game to the DS's growing list of million sellers, not sure what the legs of Dissidia are going to do, but if they maintain even slightly it'll be able to make a million as well.

93.61% sell-through for NieR Replicant.

10k <= NieR Gestalt <= 12,408

Thanks..

I hardly doubt.

Sequels don't really sell that much, I usually think it's hard for a sequel to repeat the success of the first game.

Mario Galaxy wasn't a crazy success to begin with, despite selling well and being a great game. I'm pretty positive Galaxy 2 will underperform in our eyes.

I would LOVE to eat crow in my predictions, though.
