Don't set your bar too high. There's obviously no way it'll reach IE3 numbers with the small install base.

You missed the deadline (if you didn't notice).
While both sentences are correct, should I assume we're collectively trying to call doom & gloom on Level-5 titles by cleverly skipping its amazon marketplace resellers who are discounting their titles while amazon themselves haven't?

I thought the Ghibli association would've made the DS version rise to heaven but it didn't then I thought it might be the book, since the PS3 version is book free then it ought to do good numbers. If it bombs then its either from Ghibli or Level 5
Could you post it please? I suck at finding those things :/

Not impossible. They'd be able to do the Rune drawing with the touchscreen!
BTW. Aren't this week's sales a bit late?

It's funny because at first people had great expectations for this title sales-wise, because of many reasons: Level-5 is surely one of the top software house now in Japan; Studio Ghibli; the DS version sold a lot, many units at a discounted price but they're still +500k so the reception was good; PS3 is on fire software-wise, 99% released on that went pretty well, some surprisingly well, and this shows that the userbase is active. Now that the game seems to have not performed so great, many people around the web start to say well, it was obvious this result because jRPGs by Level 5 are not good and so on. I do think Ni no Kuni on PS3 should have had more chances by video gamers -anyway let's wait the results- but it's not that Level 5 is on decline, simply not all projects can succeed.

It would be quite weird if the holidays didn't help sales at all. I'd say it'll stay in the top 20 for a while... Top 10 is a bit different because there's a ton of big releases coming in december, so it'll be knocked down a bit, but that doesn't matter much if sales are good.

so maybe ~100k again for Mario?
More likely somewhere between Galaxy 1 and Galaxy 2's third week.

For reference, Super Mario Galaxy's weekly Famitsu rankings:
1

---Begin 2008---

And then out of the top 10 for good.
Out of interest, for how long was it the highest non-new entry?

Looks like in its third week it was beaten by the second week of Mario Party DS and Dynasty Warriors 6. Dynasty Warriors 6 only had a one day first week, though, so it was a weirdo.
