TheSource said: I noticed that too... Perhaps there is a Wii Sports shortage this week? I think the attach ration has to drop eventually for Wii Sports though. If Wii sells over 10 million in Japan are we really expecting a 60% Wii Sports attach rate?
Of course :) I don't know but it sounds low...

PS3 : about 20k (No officially source yet, but this is seemd Famitsu source. Probably, this is leaked from someone buy this week Famitsu before sale date of Famitsu(Friday)) As far as I know(and see), there isn't Wii sports shotage. And I don't know the reason why the sales of Wii sports decreased. But we can say "it wasn't normal before."



If you need something about Japanese market from the perspective of Japanese, please contact me.

Indeed. There is no info about Wii-sport... Probably I've made a mistake with Babel-fish... or there was a change on the site... but my mistake is more likely. I'm sorry for mixup. @y-koron Sorry for this "info-robbery" I checked a site you usually provide as a source and thought I can share it.

There is no prboblem because I completely forgot to check the number Looing Famitsu chars, Wii Sports is probably about 30k or less. From Shinobi info, I think Layton sold about 30k+ and Pokemon is about 25k.

Did Sonic flop?!... Seems like Sonic has screwed up in Japan... :P Luckily for Sega it is still doing better then combined sales of the X360 and PS3 versions respectively. And in top 4 in the UK...

It has flopped in Japan yes... Hopefullt EU and USA sales will be good enough, sega needs to move some games to get back in the game again. EDIT: Forgot to say the PS3 numbers are really bad (~20k). If nintendo can keep up ~50k a week we will have Nintendo above 2 millions in two weeks and PS3 haven't passed 900k. So far it seems that even their big games can't hold up a momentum over a prolonged period (see Gundam failure).

Well MC has Wii Sports at 38K. So no slippage yet.
