Hey you guys, how can you know that HSG5 won't sell systems after 1 day. 1 DAY! I say, wait for the numbers next week.

Seeningly, all the Wii owners flocked to Mario Party 8. Bad time to release three other Wii games in the same week. Great to see Oblivion Doing well. MP8 should have beaten HSG5 for this week.

 I hope Dewy will be sold even if the pace of sales is slower than Elebits... 

 Forever Blue is remarked by not so small people(of cource, not so many) after release of screen shots.

 Some are the funs of preceding crop "Ever Blue 2(not succeeded. total 20~30k)"

 Unfortunately, becaulse it is released in second week of MP8 and shipments is very small, We can't anticipate the good number...

 In Japan, The games like Elebits and Forever blue tend to become hidden masterpiece...

Thanks for all the info, y-koron.

Congrats for becoming a mod. You deserve it.

I agree Dewy should have been released other day. Anyways Konami seems to be the japanese company less interested on Wii... Maybe because of Sony owning a chunk of their stock.

Just like Elebits, Dewy, Forever Blue also got low publicity, which is too bad. These kind of games bring something original to the console, like a Okami did for the PS2. Now that's absolutely one piece of game art!  

The former releases of Afrika weren't all too good according to reviews back then, so I was personally surprised the game came out quite well according to a Famitsu. Considering Afrika is not known as a major company the review might be really "objective" and the game be truly good. All I know is I will buy it :D I like franchises which are kind of unknown but original.

If I'm not mistaken MP8 release came out of the blue, while other games were announced with release dates, MP8 wasn't announced yet in Japan when it suppose to release... or I could be wrong. Would probably have been best to postpone a few releases for a few weeks.

Oh yes モデレータになっておめでとうございます＾ｖ＾

 Well this depends what you mean. To me if a new game gets a couple of thousand consoles sold, then I would consider it a system seller.  But this type of sales increase fades very quickly so it's not about to save a system with poor sales.

So I think HSG will be a system seller but not a system saver.  I hope that makes sense =) 

About The sales of PS3,  judgement is separated.

Mainly, 20~30k is major prediction.  Most of them think it makes no sense at all that the sales is below 20k. And there are few people predit the sales will be far larger than 30k.

Did I read correctly that Amazon Japan had Wii's in stock? I wonder if Nintendo flooded the market for MP8.

Ahh, that's the sort of explanation I am after...

And did Forever Blue get released this week as well? For some reason I thought it was a next-week release.

Its insane to release so many titles at the same time... (esp. For Ninty to compete against their own titles).

It is Shams, was asking Y-Koron if there's any interest in the game ;)
