FF13 broke records in the west, Yakuza 4 did it in the east

EXCELLENT MONTH FOR PLAYSTATION

Oh and a little something called GOW3 is breaking records as we speak!

Hey now, don't forget that other little game that was supposed to "flop"

 

Do you mean:

The same game that was meant to sell 350K LTD but will end up doing more than 5 times that?

The same game thats selling "beyond the developers wildest dreams"?

"That game" is surprising me with its mega-awesome legs....Barely a 40k drop from second week to third is nothing short of LEEEEEGS dammit ! Its even more so special considering thr poor legs of ME2 which disappointed me immensely.

ioi predicts a first week for GoW around 1.3m to 1.4m making it the second biggest launch week for a PS3 exclusive ever ! Had it sold a few 100k better, it would be the fastest selling PS3 exclusive ! With 0000 support from Japan...

I hope FFXIII and GoW III don't suffer from horrible legs like ME2....

hmmmm that scares me too actually.

ME2 is an amazing game (from reports).....its legs are surprising

or maybe its because it didn't release in the holidays.

Lets hope for legs.......but lets not expect the legs to be that huge or we'll get disappointed!

That's no excuse when MAG and Heavy Rain are holding out well.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Well looking at the previous Mass Effect, the sequel will surely pass it, though maybe not by too much. It does seem to have died down a tad quickly, but maybe it's just a heavily front loaded game.

While I hope so, it's already selling on par with Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. And it'll probably drop even further. The question is how different sales will be without the PC version.

Actually the WII is beginning to have some stock increase, its in stock and has been in stock in the U.S for about a week so far, so it's beginning to come back atleast based on observation.

Which is what gamestop & pachter said in their interview.....wii will see stock increases soon while PS3 will remain supply constrained.

Ps3 will have a strong March in Japan.

Torne and Yakuza 4 this week. Shin Hokuto and GoW3 next week. Pro Baseball spirits 2010 the week after.



Proud poster of the 10000th reply at the Official Smash Bros Update Thread.

tag - "I wouldn't trust gamespot, even if it was a live comparison."

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Fullfilled Prophecies

ps3_jrpg_gamer on 21 March 2010

it will be the fourth ps3 game to break 400k in opening week in jp
Yakuza series is becoming begger and bigger in front-loaded openings

People, don't worry about FFXIII legs. Ironically, this is a franchise that sells the most duo to legs,word of mouth and cheaper-re-releases and bargain bin in west, in opposite with japan where the games sells 75% of lifetime in first week.

God of War will hold some great legs too, the word of mouth will make it. And Yakuza never had legs anyway, it will have a great first week and sales will decay weekly til the cheaper re-release when sales stabilize at 2000~3000 weekly for many years.
