Pretty good numbers, especially for first party games.


The graphics look good, especially for a Wii game.

But there are just not enough hardcore and mature games.



Currently Playing: Skies of Arcadia Legends (GC), Dragon Quest IV (DS)

Last Game beaten: The Rub Rabbits(DS)

Is there a reason for not bundling the Zapper with Link's Crossbow Training in Japan? Does Nintendo have a different strategy for Japan when it comes to all bundles?

Yes, they have a different strategy in Japan. I believe Ghost Squad, RE:UC and LCT will all come with or without the Zapper in Japan. But it's a Zapper + LCT bundle everywhere else...

 

Someone correct me if I'm wrong...


 OK, have they said anything about that strategy? Or do you have an idea? I really don't understand why that strategy would work better in Japan than everywhere else.

Isn't Wii Play bundled with the Wiimote in Japan though?

Most of the 10 titles I posted earlier look in better and better shape to hit 1 million...

Updates on those 10, plus 2 more...

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock
LTD sales: 700K

Also, I'd just like to say that I don't think Pokemon Battle revolution was a dissapointment sales wise at all. In previous Pokemon iterations, you could either play tethered to each other through a gameboy cable, or you could get get Stadium and play on a TV.

But now with the DS's wireless and online capabilities, Pokemon Battle Revolution ends up becoming the more restricting version of the two. I'm suprised it sold as well as it did.

Also the "Stadium" type games have actually been LOSING options instead of gaining them.

Honestly I see My Sims, Cooking Mama, and Carnival Games will keep selling 10k each week in Europe and US until they sell 1-1.5 million



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.
