Looking at the numbers again, Valkyria 2's 2nd week is kinda bad. It's actually slightly less than the original... now I'm not sure if it's even going to make 200k. :/

I CALLED IT!

I knew it should've been on PS3

I was hoping AT3 would do better...at least better than EoE

Hmm...the JP preview overshot the EoE PS3 sales. Though the sales were in line with my prediction, 100-110k PS3, 25k 360. A bit disappointing but then again I was expecting more from the West anyway. This is clearly a Western focused JRPG.

Otherwise great DQ VI sales. Wii HW is great and I'm surprised the RPGs didn't bring the PS3 to >30k.

Yup one that isn't in the america pre-order charts yet & one that looks like its coming out in march.

Not being gloomy & doomy, just saying things as they look like right now.

EOE/ROF just looks like emo Wild Arms to me. Given tri-Ace's awful track record this gen, I'm steering well clear.

I'm also not seeing much for the rest of Q1 that could really push any system. Even the high profile games are just sequels or clones... I'm guessing we're going to see everything roughly sticking with the baselines. :/



Very small bump for DS sales considering it had a 900K release..

small bump for the ps3 as well

Wii doing well

PSP holding steady

PSP is up year over year
DS is down alot
PS3 is up alot
Wii is up alot

NSMBWii is huge, well done Ninty!



I was pretty close with my predictions.
Except on Last Rebellion, that thing bombed hard.

Well, it's somewhat understandable considering said 900k release is the 3rd remake, and 7th DQ game on the platform.  And the last DQ release sold over 4.1m... who's going to buy DQVI that doesn't already have a DS?



Resonance could just like Valkyria Chronicles or Demon's Soul very well have good legs due the good word of mouth.

Honestly, I think it would've done just as well in Japan on PS3.  And it would've done MUCH better in the west, no question.  Sega fucks up again it seems. :/
