Yeah, Muramasa surprised me.  I figured the only Susume Selection games to possibly sell decently would be DBZ, One Piece, 428 or Tales.  Kinda surprising that (arguably)  the most niche game on the list sold the most.

Famitsu ltds for the original releases + Susume Selections...

 

  1. Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World (Namco) 212,408 + 1,800 = 214,208
  2. One Piece: Unlimited Cruise Episode 1 (Bandai) 117,249 + 7,500 = 124,749
  3. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (Bandai) 90,255 + 4,900 = 95,155
  4. 428: Fuusa Sareta Shibuya de (Sega) 64,460 + 3,400 = 67,860
  5. We Ski & Sknowboard (Namco) 63,285 + 3,500 = 66,785
  6. Muramasa: The Demon Blade (Marvelous) 45,739 + 8,000 = 53,739
  7. Arc Rise Fantasia (Marvelous) 44,863 + 2,400 = 47,263

Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll, Radigly Wii and GTI Club all failed to chart for the Wii this week, they were the new releases.

Daikaijuu Ultra Battle Colosseum was overshot by the preview, it barely sold 7,300 on its debut.

In fairness to GTI Club, it also failed to chart on PSP.  Out of the 3 only Monkey Ball should've been expected to chart, and even that one's iffy.

DUBC DX was upgraded version of a game from 2008, I think Comgnet preorders threw everyone's expectations out of whack (which goes to show just how unrelaible comgnet is for predicting real sales).

Just noticed, EA's DS Zelda clone bombed. :(

BlazBlue PSP did awful too. Late ports to PSP just aren't working anymore it seems.


On the other hand, Borderlands had an okay-ish debut. Surprised Microsoft nabbed it themselves, especially with TT starting up their own JP branch.



dolemit3 on 04 March 2010

the preview somehow missed Borderlands completely:

X360 & PS2 Software – No games charted for either system. Expect X360 hardware sales to fall into the 1,500 to 2,500 unit range, while PS2 hardware falls into the 1,200 to 2,200 unit range.

DS Zelda Clone? What's this?

Shonen Kininden Tsumuji

 

 

Touch screen action RPG/adventure.  It was produced by EA Japan and developed by Neuron-Age (who's made up of mainly ex-Capcom people iirc).  Might be coming to the US under the title "Whirlwind", but not confirmed.

That's kind of interesting. I'll probably pass regardless, though.
