What's going on???

Jarrod just posted the reason. Nintendo has started advertising the titles again.


Just goes to show the power of advertising...if only more pubs got it through their heads.

Well, let's see how much it helps after Golden Week is finished.

Looks like PS3 has managed to stabilize over the Wii, as it has been outselling it for 7 weeks straight now.

Not much is coming up, PS3 might get a boost when WE 2010 Samurai and Lost Planet 2 come out in 2 weeks, and then it's SMG2 1 week later that might boost the Wii.

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.

Capcom's Sales and Earnings Fall
Company expects rebound for following year due to major releases.

Nintendo isn't the only major publisher seeing lower sales and profits. Capcom issued its own earnings report today, detailing sharp drops in sales and profits for the year ended March 31, 2010.

Sales for the year decreased to ¥66,837 million, down 27.3% from 2009's ¥91,878 million. Operating income was down 61.8%, from ¥14,618 million to ¥5,587 million.

As reason for the declines, Capcom mentioned poor performance from games like Bionic Commando (PS3/X360), Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles (Wii) and Dark Void (PS3/X360).

Additionally, it seems that Lost Planet 2 and Super Street Fighter IV were originally scheduled for earlier release, as Capcom cited their delays to the 2011 fiscal year as contributing to depressed sales in overseas markets.

Success stories included Monster Hunter Tri (Wii), Ace Attorney Investigations (DS) and Resident Evil 5 Alternative Edition (PS3/X360). These all "performed satisfactorily."

For 2011, the company expects net sales to increase to ¥95,000 million and operating income to ¥15,000 million. This sharp rebound will come from the release of major titles, the company said.

I don't think DQMJ 2 was that overshipped, the previous game had pretty nice legs 633.084 / 1.467.179 43,15%, even if this sequel is much more front-loaded it won't have any trouble selling the first shipment.

On the contrary I see MGSPW struggling hard to sell its first shipment, they expected to expand the audience with the ad-hoc and Monster Hunter features hence the huge shipment but they failed since Metal Gear is a very hardcore and hostile franchise for newcomers.

Edit: These numbers put things into perspective. The first shipment was totally crazy.

Metal Gear Solid --- 316.833 / 705.376 44,92%
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty --- 456,747 / 832.719 54,85%
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater --- 487,156 / 819.807 59,42%
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots --- 476,334 / 706.461 67,42%
Metal Gear Solid: Peace walker --- 764.000 (First shipment)
