Forums - Sales - Japanese First Day Sales - 11/29 (Layton - 200k)

Layton first day sales of 200k!

 

Very impressive for a 3th party game on DS to sell THAT much!

@Louie: Yep, I misunderstand your post. Thought that you mean X360 had some good software and hardware sales in 2005/06.



Like ioi said, some of the first day numbers can be very, very suspect. The fact is, everyone forgets the first day sales are not actual sales numbers, they are estimates.

And when your trying to extrapolate estimates, there can and will, always be inacuracies. It's very, very, highly doubtful that Mario & Sonic at the Olympics had a 4x+ multiplier. I'm not saying it had a bad multiplier, but that's higher than near any other game in history in Japan.

So it could be possible a game, such as Assassains Creed could of actually done 22-24k instead of "just" 20k. Likewise, I would tend to think Mario & Sonic probably did closer to 15k vs. 10k.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

@mrstickball: Yes, it could have been 22-24k but it also coud have been 16-18k.



Layton under my estimates - was expecting closer to 350k for day#1.

Assassins Creed did ok - funny that the PS3 version isn't out now.

Assasins creed is X360 exclusive in Japan.
