Theatjfisudhuh and Harvest Moon should be over 20k, great!

Harvest Moon seems to have held well.

And WOW at One Piece.

What's currently the second highest LTD - and what's the likelihood of One Piece Musou topping that?

Final Fantasy XIII-2 (800k), I think.

Using lots of dodgy maths and combining versions re5 but i doubt it'll top that, i'm thinking it'll be pretty front loaded

I was just guessing PSP will regulary have top ten sellers in the years to come, and refuse to die like the PS2.

So. thanks to One Piece, the Musou brand is back to its PS2 era strength


[PS2] Dynasty Warriors 4 (Koei) - 723.127 / 1.197.349 / 60,39% 27/02/03
[PS2] Dynasty Warriors 3 (Koei) - 240.980 / 1.042.819 / 23,11% 20/09/01
[PS2] Dynasty Warriors 5 (Koei) - 560.733 / 917.985 / 61,08% 24/02/05

It's the second best debut EVER for a Musou game, just behind DW4

 

[weeaboo]

So Theatrhyytuygntm is a success, it's time to announce the localization :]

I'm actually wondering if sony dont do the stupid thing and try and kill the psp early to give vita a boost if psp has a shot at beating the ps2 hardware sales

Using lots of dodgy maths and combining versions re5 but i doubt it'll top that, i'm thinking it'll be pretty front loaded

Combining all versions available, here are the PS3 games over 500k:

[PS3] Final Fantasy XIII (Square Enix) - 1,906,000
[PS3] Resident Evil 5 (Capcom) - 910,000
[PS3] Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (Konami) - 896,000
[PS3] Final Fantasy XIII-2 (Square Enix) - 798,000
[PS3] Gran Turismo 5 (SCE) - 642,000
[PS3] Tales of Xillia (Bandai Namco) - 632,000
[PS3] Yakuza 3 (SEGA) - 598,000
[PS3] Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds (SCE) - 598,000
[PS3] Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage (Koei) - 564,000
[PS3] Yakuza 4 (SEGA) - 558,000
[PS3] Gran Turismo 5: Prologue (SCE) - 534,000

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Woo GO One Piece!

Dunno what's taking Namco so long to announce it over here :/

 

[Aostia]

Bow down to the King of Pirates!
I think that also PS3 could be really high this week!

ANd 3DS seems to confirm it's "golden status"

 

[test_account]

I'm actually wondering if sony dont do the stupid thing and try and kill the psp early to give vita a boost if psp has a shot at beating the ps2 hardware sales

Sony wont do that, at least not in the near future. They just announced two new color PSP releases for example, so it is no sign of Sony killing off the PSP. They still havnt killed off the PS2 either.

I dont think they will either but i'm sure the idea must be crossing their mind as a way to boost vita, though they will probably come to the same conclussion i have that it would probably boost the 3ds just as much if not more

Yeah, they might have thought about it indeed. But as you mention, it is no guarantee that people will buy a Vita, they could end up buying other systems instead (like the 3DS). So it would be a big gamble for Sony to kill off the PSP earlier than needed.

Predictions:
[3DS] Hatsune Miku and Future Stars: Project Mirai - 121,555
[PS3] Mobile Suit Gundam UC - 82,645
[PS3] Street Fighter X Tekken - 45,254
[3DS] Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater 3D - 9,800
[3DS] Girls RPG: Cinderella Life - 16,889

 

[Chris1964]

PS2 is dead since 2010.

 

[pramath]

So, like 10 minutes before MC numbers?

 

[duckroll]

So, like 10 minutes before MC numbers?

1 hour 10 minutes.

 

[C_H_T]

So, like 10 minutes before MC numbers?

around 1 hour and 8 minutes to go.

 

[pramath]

1 hour 10 minutes.

Oh dear
I should have just gone to sleep.

You missed Samurai Warriors. The first one sold 620,893 in the first week on PS2. 1,024,253 total.

 

[test_account]

PS2 is dead since 2010.

I guess you mean the production? That makes sense. I guess that old stock is selling then, but at least the PS2 is still available for sale.

 

[pramath]

Production can't be dead worldwide though, the PS2 is still sold in markets like EU, Brazil and India.

 

[Alrus]

The Musou series really fell off a cliff after the PS2, it's quite impressive.

 

[duckroll]

The Musou series really fell off a cliff after the PS2, it's quite impressive.

Just like Hot Shots Golf, Gran Turismo, and Winning Eleven, among others. Resident Evil also fell off a cliff after PS1.

 

[saichi]

You missed Samurai Warriors. The first one sold 620,893 in the first week on PS2. 1,024,253 total.

I can see One Piece Musou has the same first week of this but I wouldn't expect it to have the same legs to get past 1 million.

 

[frankie_baby]

Production can't be dead worldwide though, the PS2 is still sold in markets like EU, Brazil and India.

Is it still sold in the EU? I aint seen any here in the uk for a good 2 or 3 years

 

[pramath]

Is it still sold in the EU? I aint seen any here in the uk for a good 2 or 3 years

I assume so. India officially falls under SCEE territory, so if it is receiving shipments, I am assuming all SCEE territories are. The Indian market is too small by itself to warrant special shipments all for itself though.

 

[duckroll]

I can see One Piece Musou has the same first week of this but I wouldn't expect it to have the same legs to get past 1 million.

Yeah, it's extremely unlikely that it will be able to cross a million, but I think over 800k is definitely within reach. It's still a huge success for Bandai Namco Games.

 

[test_account]

Production can't be dead worldwide though, the PS2 is still sold in markets like EU, Brazil and India.

I see that some websites here in EU still sells PS2, but i dont know if that is old stock though. But maybe they still produce PS2s for other markets outside of Japan indeed.

 

[Castor Krieg]

They do. PS2 is a major source of income due to developing countries buying consoles.

 

[Mpl90]

Yeah, you're right. So, it's the third best debut ever for a Musou game. Such an awesome success already for Namco. 800k are definitively reachable.

 

[duckroll]

Well, it could beat Samurai Warriors. We don't know yet. Definitely around the same ballpark.

 

[Road]

Bandai Namco's biggest first week:

[PS1] Tekken 3 (Namco) - 671,886 / 1,186,119

 

[RurouniZel]

My Predictions

[3DS] Hatsune Miku and Future Stars: Project Mirai - 80,039
[PS3] Mobile Suit Gundam UC - 65,000
[PS3] Street Fighter X Tekken - 55,000
[3DS] Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater 3D - 3,000
[3DS] Girls RPG: Cinderella Life - 10,000

 

[BassForever]

My predictions as well

[3DS] Hatsune Miku and Future Stars: Project Mirai - 75k
[PS3] Mobile Suit Gundam UC - 60k
[PS3] Street Fighter X Tekken - 45k
[3DS] Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater 3D - 5k
[3DS] Girls RPG: Cinderella Life - 8k

 

[test_account]

Yeah, that makes sense, since the PS2 is probably quite cheap to produce now.

 

[Road]

For the record, the deadline for the predictions, as usual, was before the Famitsu Top 10.

We can discuss if it should be changed to the 4Gamer MC Top 20 or something next time.

 

[Busaiku]

It seems like Harvest Moon Land of Beginning is doing really well.
I wonder if it can beat Island of Happiness.

 

[sphinx]

I see that some websites here in EU still sells PS2, but i dont know if that is old stock though. But maybe they still produce PS2s for other markets outside of Japan indeed.

I just saw 2 new PS2 consoles in stock in the german "saturn" I visited yesterday, PS2 software still holds a shelf for itself, PS2 is ddefinitely still there.

Highly doubt it...didn't that make 300k?

That is cool Personally havnt seen any new PS2 games for sales here in stores where i live, only used ones at Gamestop.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Theatrhythm most likely did >20k (considering it's above the 3DS TRI), hopefully SE gets on top of the shipments and this becomes a slow burner!
