Forums - Sales - Japan first day sales (Galaxy 2 launch)

Galaxy 1--->130k the first day.
Galaxy 2,IMHO,can do 300k at the end of the week

Red Steel 2 super bomba compared to the original.

SMG2 kind of low considering the amount of preorders, but great nonetheless.

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

Horrible sellthrough but should have a good opening week. But I'm sure there will be plenty of overreactions to get us through the weekend eh.



Yeah i remember Wii fit plus tripling its first day sales. I guess 250k is in the bag, but i really was hoping for more. Kinda low for me IMO



alan wake sales are -.-
oh well at least the shipments were small.

In line with my expectations.

Galaxy 2's true test comes from its legs.

BTW i think this is just the second 2010 Wii released game to break 100k. Very poor for the leading console of this generation. Ok DQ, Basara, and Xeno are releasing soon, but those arent the Killer hits Nintendo were hoping for. Hopefully MH3g gets announced soon

Well for the AW LE that is really a limited edition at 9,999 copies available, so to sell through 6,900 of them on the first day is great! I bought my AW LE through Amazon JP, but I wasn't home for the delivery today, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to play it. As for the standard edition, well I'm sure it will have the majority(all) of the sales once the LE sells out.

 

Nice first day for Galaxy 2, it should sell quite well once Friday and Saturday are included. (First day VG sales in Japan are pretty much always on Thursdays, except for Pokemon/DQ which usually release on Saturdays)

I still need to pick up SMG2 as well. I just picked up Alan Wake and the Tales of Vesperia: First Strike blu-ray movie, so I'm going to wait a little bit before I get it. I waited to get SMG1 as well, because my gf got it for me for Christmas.

- Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii) – 143,200 (28%)

A 2x multiplier for a Mario game is practically a lock, considering this around 300,000 units with 60% sell-through is quite good.

- Red Steel 2 (Wii) – 500 (9%)

Red Steel 2 did it horrible, Red Steel sold 8,823 units in its first week and had very good legs for a total sales of 45,411 units.



I hope no one was really thinking Galaxy 2 would do insane numbers or anything. It's tracking ahead of Galaxy 1, which is good.
