I like how WSR was able to stay above 100k this week.

Can you precise, that this is the media create top 30.

Woow, impressive boost.

It appears Halo 3's record is safe (at least, until Tim launches, later this year)

Ouch, that's a hell of a drop for Rorona, more than I was expecting. I suppose the second-hand market is eating into new sales at this point. Of course, I also doubt the Dragon Quest steamroller is doing the game any favors at this point...

Assuming it sells 3k+ next week, though, it'll still beat out Judie to become the fifth-best-selling Atelier game ever (and will do so inside of a month), and might still have momentum to beat out Iris 1. I'll be interested to see what it does when it isn't being crushed flat by a cultural phenomenon :V

@ Space

Well, Judie is a guarantee, but I wouldn't count it out. It's going to float back over 1k during the holidays and I'm sure all software will get a minor boost with the release of FF13.

Some pretty big discrepancies with Famitsu HW (PS2, DS, even PSP pretty low in MC).

Looking at these, Nintendo looks in good shape (especially with the short term boost, imo, MH3 is gonna give the Wii).



Elaine: I will never understand people

Jerry: They're the worst.

DQ 9's numbers are beautiful. They blow everything else away. Japanese just cant get enough of the seiries. But the world is catching on. already 50 million units shipped worldwide.
