Impressive HW numbers for everything but 360. So since I doubt Pro Yakyuu gave any bump it looks like PS3 baseline sales are in the high 30ks because of Torne. An even bigger bump than I anticipated.

I beg to differ. It will drop again next week and the week after to another baseline.

Yeah, this week was actually a 25% drop, we're not at the new baseline at all yet.  I do think Torne's helped, but you also can't discount the back-to-back 500k+ sellers the previous two weeks... and looking at PS3's future lineup, that's something that won't be happening again for the foreseeable future.  In fact, it doesn't have even one game for the rest of Q2 that's close to as big as Yakuza 4 or Hokuto Musou.

Well we'll see next week, especially since there is absolutely nothing coming out this week. And isn't it a bit early to be judging how Nier will perform? It's a new IP after all. And you forgot Mod Nation Racers. That could probably sell 200k+.

Is there any compelling reason that MNR would sell 200K+? Just because it's a kart racer? This does not look like a Japan-centric game at all.

@jarrod

FIFA Worldcup potential for 200K? REALLY? When was the last FIFA or FIFA Worldcup game that breaks 200K in Japan?
