But to hear anyone say ninty fans can't celebrate this increase in sales when PS3 fans acted like dictators during MGS4 week. No cram and let them say what the want. Seriously the people on this forum have freedom of speech issues. As for the sales Wii and DS prove what large brand appeal does: it generates monstorous sales at any chance there is for increased marketing. AKA SSBB release. PS3 however proves that once a brand gets that high, that it's hard to knock off, as it and in a way PSP, are still living off that brand that the PS1 and PS2 built. As for SSBB sales, 400k(the estimate right now) is pretty good. I mean later release didn't help it and 2 days of release obviously isn't going to yield monstorous sales like it did in the other regions where it had a full week out. I mean MGS4 was out for 3 days and was just under 500k to give an example. I don't think people should be that disappointed. As for Italy and Spain, there is a confliction of brands. Both the Playstation and Nintendo brand are huge. However I'm going to have to go with the brand that is still increasing in appeal, that being the Nintendo brand. While it can only go up, on the opposite the Playstion one can only go down, which it has. Not to mention Wii Fit seems to be pretty big in those respective areas. However you really never know down the line as brand appeal changes all the time. |
I understand you're using 2 days as a gauge with the rest of the world, but games launch in Japan on fridays, and the week is over on Sunday, and SSBB sold 850k in Japan in it's launch week in those few days.
