| redspear said: New Super Mario bros? It sold 4.71 million in Japan...I hate to see what flying off the shelves is if that isn't? Final fantasy 3 Â sold 1 million in Japan on the DS Final Fantasy XII(DS) has already sold 500K in Japan. Yoshi's Island 800K+
so forth traditional games do sell in Japan. |
Anything Mario still sells great. FF has done well, but not fantastic. The DS has sold 18m units in Japan, after all. The PS2 sold ~22m yet all FF games sold around 2.5m copies at least. The GC sold ~4m units yet the Mario games came in at ~900k in Japan.
Attach rates for traditional games are falling in Japan. I don't see how else to look at those numbers. Other than NSMB (a fantastic game in its own right), nothing else is coming close.
Like I said, I'm interested to see how this translates to the Wii and DQ in particular.
