I'm just glad that it's not just the Wii and DS pushing the industry anymore, and the PS3, while it was maybe too little too late, is finally a competitor.

Since Nintendo already said that Sin & Punishment 2 is coming to the US, especially after two conferences this year, I think it's safe to say we'll get it. After all, the second game was made because foreign audiences bought the Virtual Console version like fiends.
However, if for some reason it gets canned I guess I can always import. (Like I did Disaster & Another Code R from Europe!)

And the next one is 11 days after that! With the next one a month after that! :lol
I also think that between the SaGa 2 remake being released last month and Strange Journey being released this month, the RPG fanbase on the DS have enough to keep themselves busy.

They do eventually release the Top 30, though it's about a week behind the leaks. The Top 500 isn't exactly a leak, but they only release them in book form which we have to wait to be scanned/transcribed by fellow sales nerds.Nirolak said:
Based on the latest Famitsu hardware numbers...
PSP comparisons: After 254 weeks, PSP is where PS2 was at 198.1 weeks (December 15, 2003), where DS was at 105.4 weeks (December 6, 2006), and where GBA was at 174.8 weeks (Juuly 24, 2004).
X360 comparisons: After 202 weeks, X360 is where GCN was at 20.4 weeks (January 30, 2002), where PS3 was at 42.2 weeks (August 27, 2007), and where Wii was at 6.1 weeks (January 8, 2007).
PS3 comparisons: After 154 weeks, PS3 is where PS2 was at 56.8 weeks (March 30, 2001), where PSP was at 84.7 weeks (July 21, 2006), where GCN was at 176.5 weeks (January 26, 2005), and where Wii was at 47.9 weeks (October 28, 2007).
Wii comparisons: After 151 weeks, Wii is where GBA was at 104.2 weeks (March 17, 2003), where DS was at 79.9 weeks (June 10, 2006), where PS2 was at 125.0 weeks (July 21, 2002), and where PSP was at 173.5 weeks (April 3, 2008).
DSi comparisons: After 51 weeks, DSi is where GBASP was at 73.1 weeks (July 5, 2004) and where DSL was at 24.6 weeks (August 17, 2006).
Based on this week's Media Create hardware numbers...
DS vs PSP: Weekly shares of 59.7 / 40.3 bring total shares to 68.4 / 31.6. If DS stopped selling and PSP continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 459.7 weeks (August 17, 2018).
X360 vs PS3: Weekly shares of 13.0 / 87.0 bring total shares to 23.7 / 76.3. If PS3 stopped selling and X360 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 571.1 weeks (October 5, 2020).
PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares of 53.6 / 46.4 bring total shares to 30.0 / 70.0. At this week's rates, PS3 would catch up to Wii in 1,212.6 weeks (January 21, 2033). If Wii stopped selling and PS3 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 164.2 weeks (December 18, 2012).
Week over week, Nintendo systems are slightly down, Sony systems are slightly less down, and X360 is slightly up.
Through the first forty-three 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: -49.9%
DSL+DSi: +18.6%
PS2: -55.1%
PS3: +53.3%
PSP: -45.2%
X360: +44.7%
Home hardware: -24.7%
Portable hardware: -16.5%
Nintendo hardware: -14.2%
Sony hardware: -29.6%
Sum of all hardware: -19.8%
Last year:
This year:
Note that DSi this year is now slightly beating DSL from last year, so this year's DSL sales basically represent the year-over-year increase for DS.
The full Famitsu leak is out: http://hokanko3.blog13.fc2.com/
Strange Journey sold 5.3k, and Famitsu has the LTD at 109k so it was probably never restocked. Lol.

A 19K print run is extremely low though. If the localization would happen to get canned (I don't think it will), then S&P2 probably wouldn't stay cheap for long.

How the fuck does a Wii sequel to one of the worst-selling N64 Nintendo-published games sell worse than the original is mindblowing.

S&P is not so overpriced in Japan, i found a copy for 20$ many times in the latest years.
I could also affirm the price has been going down year after year, the first time i went in Japan (2003) it was about 4500-5000yen, now it's around 3000-3500yen (but i think you can find cheaper ones on Yahoo! Auction site)
note : actually yen / euro exchange is the same value as it was in 2003 (around 135yen for 1 euro)

I hope you meant LTD and week 1 sales (I don't know where you would find day 1 sales).Regulus Tera said:
Using garaph.info (so, Famitsu numbers):
Code:
10,070 Another code R (only on charts for 1 week therefore week 1=LTD))
22,682 Captain Rainbow (week 1 6,361)
27,896 Disaster: Day of Crisis (week 1 12,768)At least it'll do better than Captain Rainbow in week 1 but is that good enough for NOE?

A real shame for Treasure (or really, Nintendo).
They should have just put the game out on 360 with numbers like these.
I also have to say a big part of this was the absolute minimal (nearly zero) marketing campaign from Nintendo, where unless you were in a game shop you didn't see much for the game (can't speak for TV since I don't watch it). Given that Nintendo is publishing, I expected much more of a push. Reading the talk with Iwata it seemed they were putting a lot of expectations into the in-store kiosks which I think are a really weak way of attracting customers. And even if it were a strong method, put the damn demo in a full month before the game's out, not two weeks. Sheesh.
If NoA passes on this just because of these numbers that would be a damn shame. If that happens I really hope a 3rd party publisher picks it up.

Those Sin and Punishment 2 numbers are depressing. This had better not affect its localization plans.

It was built originally for the classic controller. I would rather see Treasure enjoying success than suffering in a third party hell for the sake of a slightly different play experience.

Pretty much every impression about S&P2 sez Wii remote is the way to go.
As an aside S&P2 likely could have bombed just as badly on the 360. It's an extremely niche genre(I think in the past decade there have been less than 10 similar games..probably less than 5 even). I remember Xbox owners doing a hell of a job supporting PD Orta.
