Go go PS3!

 

[neojubei]

360 only sold 1.357.461 since it came out in Japan? I thought it was more than this.

 

[Takao]

360 only sold 1.357.461 since it came out in Japan? I thought it was more than this.

It's a dead platform in Japan, always was, and likely always will be (despite Microsoft getting a bunch of Japan targeted exclusives early on). Improvement over the original Xbox though!

Speaking of dead platforms, less than 30,000 units until the PSP Go sells its initial shipment! Yay!

 

[_Alkaline_]

Wii Party is a beast.

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

Wow what a drop for ACE:R.

Terrible word of mouth is a real bitch in a used market as blood-thirsty as Japan's.

Good going for the Monster Hunter spin-off. I approve of any game that results in me hearing the Monster Hunter theme being meowed on commercial breaks.

Streams about to cross!

I guess it's actually coming true...

 

[Xater]

Terrible word of mouth is a real bitch in a used market as blood-thirsty as Japan's.

Good, because from what I heard this ACE deserved the drop. Hopefully they will get the message and improve the next one.

 

[Bebpo]

And Famitsu says ACX2 sold better than the first game and AC6 :lol

Awesome

Well there's always a margin of error when doing this stuff.

 

[farnham]

I guess it's actually coming true...

i doubt that the ps3 will sell additional 5 million units in japan in the next 3 or so years that are left of this generation

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Wow Wii is dead.
Thank god for the holiday bump it'll be getting.

 

[wizword]

i doubt that the ps3 will sell additional 5 million units in japan in the next 3 or so years that are left of this generation

Yes it will. It won't beat wii though

 

[neutralgamer02]

01. / 00. [PSP] Monster Hunter Diary: Pokapoka Ailu Village (Capcom) - 256.076 / NEW

So, is that good?

 

[olimpia84]

Go SMG2 go

 

[Grimmy]

01. / 00. [PSP] Monster Hunter Diary: Pokapoka Ailu Village (Capcom) - 256.076 / NEW

So, is that good?

I think the first shipment was around 250,000 so that's pretty good. Sell-through must be ridiculously high.

 

[cvxfreak]

The Wii will have another million seller in a month or so.

 

[iidesuyo]

i doubt that the ps3 will sell additional 5 million units in japan in the next 3 or so years that are left of this generation

I think it will sell another 5m units within the next 3 to 4 years.

 

[Chris1964]

The Wii will have another million seller in a month or so.

I know you mean Galaxy 2.

 

[farnham]

I think it will sell another 5m units within the next 3 to 4 years.

if this gen goes on for that long

 

[noobie]

if this gen goes on for that long

but i think Sony will definitely continue to support PS3 for 4 more years... so it should end higher than 10M in Japan

 

[cvxfreak]

I know you mean Galaxy 2.

No way. Not in one month.

 

[Freezie KO]

Go SMG2 go

Lemme grab my pom-poms.

To be fair to SMG2, SMG1 had a major gift-giving holiday's worth of sales under its belt at this point from its release.

do we have MOVE preorders data.? wandering if it will be a hit or a miss in Japan.. its a weird country. :$

I smell a miss.

 

[Maastricht]

Move's release in Japan is quite a bit later: 21 October 2010 if I'm not mistaken.

still not more than 2 months..

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

Next week releases (09/09/10) -> final week before Pokemon

[WII] Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition [Best Price! Reprint] (Capcom)
[WII] Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles [Best Price! Reprint] (Capcom)
[WII] Okami [Best Price!] (Capcom)

Wow, three new titles! Let it never be said Capcom skimped on support for the Wii.

 

[schuelma]

What's the lowest Wii hardware week? Around 10K or so? Bet it reaches those lows next month.

But surely Other M's amazing narrative will lift hardware sales into the heavens!

 

[Osuwari]

i noticed the DSL reached 18 million. would that be the highest selling single-SKU console ever in japan or did one of the old consoles/handhelds sell more?

 

[ULTROS!]

I think the GBC sold 30m something in Japan.

 

[Stumpokapow]

I believe the PS2 and GBC still sold more. 20m something in Japan while GBC sold 30m something in Japan.

PS2 had 2 SKUs, neither passed 18 million.

GB+GBC had four SKUs (GB, GBP, GBL, GBC) totalling 30 million, not sure if any individual one passed 18 million.

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

I think the GBC sold 30m something in Japan.

I think that was GB/GBC combined, puppy.

 

[cvxfreak]

It would be very amusing if the PS3 made it to 1 Million this year before the Wii did.

Meh, I can't see it really taking off. Annoying part is because it's a peripheral we won't know how it's done beyond Sony PR and retailer feedback.

You can get a good sense through the bundles and software sales though.

Other fun news this week from the blog spectrum:

Monster hunter Diary still having supply problems: next shipment isn't till the 10th, amazon is sold out, reports popping up many major retailers sold out.
Retailers underestimated the game all around, what you guys think legs will look like?

Metroid M: Across the board pretty insignificant sales(and this is from stores that do well with hard-core gamers) unless there is some secret casual market for this that is buying it from major retailers, expect sales to be rather worse then xenoblade.

Edit as to wii: any predictions on how well mario collection is going to do?

 

[Tenbatsu]

Metroid: Other M this week biggest release

http://www.true-gaming.net/home/14236

They are still using the thumbs down Samus to promote the game!

 

[PetriP-TNT]

I guess it's actually coming true...

GT5 will sell 5 million units of PS3 alone! Does Wii have any big name titles/system sellers coming out in Japan any time soon?

 

[vicissitudes]

Metroid Other M...nothing else I can think of. GT5 isn't THAT big in Japan though, it won't have the same effect as FF13.
