Ah. Thanks. Ever since I realised that console RPGs just aren't for me, I stopped keeping tabs on them.vareon said:

Both Kingdom Hearts and Gyakuten Kenji had strong debuts.
Here's hoping that Arc Rise Fantasia has a solid debut.

Nice showing for Kingdom Hearts DS
I wonder why they didn't show Kingdom Hearts PSP at e3. Also were is Square hiding Parasite Eve: Za Sad Bathday?

As a lifelong poster in these threads starting a week ago, I can tell you my experience: The dream is over. It's just a fricken nightmare. I really thought the PSP had a chance to come back. But, it wasn't to be...*tears*

From sinobi, first week comparisons:
March 2002: PS2 "Kingdom Hearts" 411k
December 2002: PS2 "Kingdom Hearts Final Mix" 164k
November 2004: GBA "Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories," 174k
December PS2 "Kingdom Hearts II" 738k
March 2007: PS2 "Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix +" 182k
May 2009: DS "Kingdom Hearts 358 / 2 Days" 291k
So overall the second best. Not bad. Still hate the series though.

Recipe to make MC thread longer:
1) Pull a jimbo (support the underdog)
2) Discuss about Wii 3rd party state (rub salt in the wound)
3) Be a one man team (contradict the collective opinion)
4) Reveal your future sighting abilities (predict crazy outcomes)
5) Pull a ioi (support imaginary numbers)
...
9) Replies hit 4 digits
10) Profit, of course

I really think reading much of anything into 0.1% of any system's userbase buying a particular game is pretty useless. I mean, we wouldn't look at Crystal Chronicles Echoes of Time Wii selling a few dozen thousand copies and take it to mean anything about the DS software market.spwolf said:

:lol :lol :lol
and also:
11) PSP software sales not supporting PSP sales (talking about piracy, MP3, etc...)
12) Introduce new preliminary and imaginative MC hardware numbers just after the release of Famitsu numbers (and in contradiction with them)
13) Discuss the vaporware status of Gran Turismo mobile since GT mobile was revealed at E3 2004 with movie, box and disc art!!!
14) Claim that NATAL will permit to 360 to go ahead PS3 in Japan very soon...

I rarely post in here anymore because all the discussion amounts to recently is fluctuations in units over the first day and week. Boring.
I usually just click the thread, read the numbers, take note of the situation in relation to what I feel is relevant, and leave.

Based on the latest Famitsu hardware numbers...
PSP comparisons: After 233 weeks, PSP is where PS2 was at 186.8 weeks (September 27, 2003), where DS was at 101.3 weeks (November 7, 2006), and where GBA was at 157.7 weeks (March 26, 2004).
X360 comparisons: After 181 weeks, X360 is where GCN was at 16.9 weeks (January 5, 2002), where PS3 was at 37.7 weeks (July 27, 2007), and where Wii was at 5.4 weeks (January 3, 2007).
PS3 comparisons: After 133 weeks, PS3 is where PS2 was at 44.9 weeks (January 6, 2001), where PSP was at 67.9 weeks (March 25, 2006), where GCN was at 123.3 weeks (January 20, 2004), and where Wii was at 35.2 weeks (July 30, 2007).
Wii comparisons: After 130 weeks, Wii is where GBA was at 97.5 weeks (January 30, 2003), where DS was at 77.0 weeks (May 21, 2006), where PS2 was at 115.7 weeks (May 17, 2002), and where PSP was at 166.6 weeks (February 14, 2008).
DSi comparisons: After 30 weeks, DSi is where GBASP was at 45.9 weeks (December 27, 2003) and where DSL was at 15.8 weeks (June 16, 2006).
Based on the latest Media Create hardware numbers...
DS vs PSP: Weekly shares of 69.4 / 30.6 bring total shares to 68.3 / 31.7. If DS stopped selling and PSP continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 441.9 weeks (November 19, 2017).
X360 vs PS3: Weekly shares of 28.1 / 71.9 bring total shares to 24.6 / 75.4. If PS3 stopped selling and X360 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 440.3 weeks (December 29, 2019).
PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares of 41.1 / 58.9 bring total shares to 28.3 / 71.7. If Wii stopped selling and PS3 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 390.6 weeks (November 25, 2016).
Week over week, everything is up a little; except for DS which is up a lot.
Our old friend Pac-Man makes a short-lived and painful-looking return this week.
Through the first twenty-two weeks of the year, overall sales are down. However, the systems can be split into camps of 3 up and 3 down. Here's how the year-to-date year-over-year percents stand as of now.
Wii: -64.1%
DSL+DSi: +1.7%
PS2: -50.1%
PS3: +28.4%
PSP: -44.4%
X360: +235.2%
Home hardware: -37.0%
Portable hardware: -24.4%
Sum of all hardware: -29.4%

The first one was good, the second one made me RAAAGE because everything just kind of got retarded.
I might give the DS and PSP ones a shot, though. The DS one looks impressive considering the hardware.

Well, I wouldn't say that 18k is a particularly good number in any absolute sense, but in context of the shipment that's solid. I guess we'll see how this ends up evolving over time.

what did fragile do first day, i've got a feeling it was similar or slightly less
frankie_baby said:
Fragile did 26k its first week, I think first day was 16k
If we apply the 1.5-2x rule (from first day to first week) then the game will nearly have a sell out (probably around 75-80%), whether thats good or bad I guess depends on your side of the fence.
Its a low shipment so as donny said its probably good for retailers since there wont be a lot of stock left to dump off a low pricing.
