Move has done pretty much nothing for the PS3 in Japan. The boost this week was pretty much all from the WE2011 PS3 bundles.

Super Mario Collection is selling very well. I just to check out game stuff at the two big stores in my city yesterday and both were sold out of it.

Decent start for Fable 3, not as good as Fable 2's opening, but hopefully it has some legs.

PSP Go only sold 3k after a massive 10,000 yen price drop? Wow... (at current exchange rates that's a $123 USD price cut!)

DSi LL sales had a nice boost up to 32k from the Red Mario 25th DSi LL release. (DSi LL was at 15k in last week's MC numbers) DSi went up as well though, with no special version released. (from 14k to 23k) The next special DSi will be the Pokemon B/W ones releasing on 11/20.

There was a special DSi version released as well, although it was even more limited. It was a Red DSi console only sold at 7-Eleven.

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.

Ugh seriously Japan, Winning Eleven? Really am starting to question Japan's taste in gaming these days. I mean, PS3 with 28k?

I think the main reason why Winning Eleven is so popular in Japan is because they use great detail with the Japanese players and teams.

LMAO. I'm really not sure which one of these names is more creepy, marrying my own daughter or my wife being "just for you".

Hello Iwata, if you send your Wii's strategy to the market and then receive the ACK packet and inside there are constantly bad Wii hardware sales...I guess it's about time to change the strategy.


Haven't you read Iwata comments on Japanise market? According to him Wii does greatly there :D


Did Japan got red wii bundle this week?

Nov 11th



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

lol.  I think you need to reread what he actually said...

 

 

As for the sales, NO Solatorobo!! ;_;  CC2 is going to be stuck in Naruto/.hack hell forever....

On the other hand, at least Dream Club PSP and My Wife bombed.  Love sims are one genre I wouldn't mind seeing go away.



nooo niche genres have to live no matter what!!!

Oh, so there was a special DSi as well. I didn't know that. I think I glanced at it and just assumed it was the Mario 25th DSi LL, hehe.Thanks for the info.

I just picked up a DSi myself last week. If I knew there was a Mario one, I might've considered getting it. I still would've went with the SaGa 2 Special Edition DSi I bought anyway! (Plus it came with the SaGa 2 game as well)
