Humm... yes. 307k.


Japanese preview is not an actual figure, just an estimate.

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.

But it's always very close. So 300k I say.



Japan, you have failed me. You need to make the games AND buy them.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

I don't care if Japan doesn't enjoy 3D Mario like the rest of the world; Super Mario Galaxy 2 deserves more.



Just so Im clear people are saying 300,000 sales in one week for a Mario game in Japan is not a good thing...

 

Am I missing something here?

I hear you. It seems like a lot of people on these forums seem to have really lofty sales expectations and believe the game flopped if it doesn't reach them. SMG2 sold just fine for japan and even did better that the original.



I think that Super Mario Galaxy 2 is doing better in Japan than the original Mario Galaxy did. I read on GameSpot that Super Mario Galaxy 2 was on the top of the charts in Japan during the week of May 24-30.
