Oh so it's not like it was horrendously overshipped. But yeah it will take a while for all the stock to be sold.

I think it must at least make a small profit & produce enough goodwill for the next KH to do well. (which will hopefully be KH3)

@Turkish

Hopefully they get the message now. This is the first major KH underperformer I think.

@VXIII

Leave him alone!

The other good news is that the "Final mix" next release will probably do a little better, as the userbase will surely grow.

Those numbers are not THAT bad when you put userbases into consideration. PSP had almost 15 million when BBS was released and DS had at least 25 million when 358/2 launched.

It does not explain... but it sure contributes. I mean, 10 million 3DS more could add at least 100k more sales, it's very feasible.

Go 360! Go SW: K!

This year is not looking good globally... hopefully the big hitters later in the year can do some redemption.

Perhaps, but in the meantime theres gonna be a huge drop in demand worldwide and, unless im mistaken, there aren't that many big hitters from any companies until the end of the year AGAIN.

Thats 6 months of negative press, 6 months of bad sales, and 6 months of pro-Apple bullshit talking up the death of consoles again.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Everyone except the PS2 and the 360 are down... the ones you would think wouldn't go up.



Yeah :) i wanted to see this thread, I love discusing numbers xD
- The KHDDD sales % drop was massive! I was expecting better legs for the 2nd week :/, is really not selling on par with the others KH hanheld games.

- I am still amazed seeing PSP games at  #1 :O, It really shows how Sony messed up by not having real backward compatibility for the PSV, they essentially have 2  completly different platforms competing with each other, minewhile the DS made a nice little transition to the 3DS. The worse part is that Sony cant kill the PSP now, Japan still loves that machine!
PSP software # sales: 307090
3DS software # sales: 147887

I dont know how they can handle this situation, a pricedrop seems unlikely because they cant afford that, and they dont have any games on the near future that will appeal to this specific market (and the next big conference for Japan, the TGS, is stil moooooonths away)

 

-Kid Icarus is holding up nicely, I hope that we can see it reaching  500,000.

-Lots of 3DS software, expecting to see Fire Emblem there at #1 next week :D



Oh! And finally this chart is really informative, it shows the rollercoaster that has been watching how these little hanhelds perform:

I'll buy Batman Lego 2... but not now, in a year or so.
Batman 1 was one of the best Lego games, can't wait to play this - well, I can.
