Ouch @ Almost everything. Very few games had decent sellthrough numbers.

• Layton 3 did OK. Looks to be lower than Layton 2 for first week sales (which did just north of 300k). Could hit 650k+ LTD.
• PES3 on PS3 did ok (may hit 2008's numbers). X360 version bombed, or nearly bombed.
  
• Warriors Orochi 2 bombed.
  
• Rune Factory Frontier did pretty bad....At 43% sellthrough, it won't sell anywhere near it's shipment. Better than recent 3st party releases, but still awful given what the Wii has sold....When was the last time the Wii actually launched a new title to real strong sales?
• Agarest Senki sold OK given what the PS3 version did (around 9k first week).
