Good sales for TLS! Better than expected!

...

Alright, I'm disappointed. But if these sales were last week, I'd be fine. It's just all the hype, over-blown-ness (coined) and other positive article made it seem better

 

Let's wait for the numbers from VGC, and of course Mistwalker, on the issue. And let's see how it'l keep selling...



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I think Media Create is as reliable as it gets. VGC bases it's numbers on Media Create.



Cue a million "The Last Story floppedz!" threads.

...I don't care. I expected it to do better

*cries in corner*

(Lol, joke. The sales are great, especially when you look at Blue Dragon etc. A localisation is looking strong now!)



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

So here's that Famitsu tidbit about first day sales printed clearly

[WII] The Last Story (Nintendo) {2011.01.27} - 75.490 / 59,8%
[360] Dream Club Zero (D3 Publisher) {2011.01.27} - 14.382 / 43,5%
[360] Gal Gun (Alchemist) {2011.01.27} - 7.056 / 59,7%


From this we can work out that The Last Story had something like a 126.237 first shipment.

Based on Media Create's data The Last Story sold ~91% of its first shipment FW.

Actually considering this figure will be spread across numerous retailers, TLS has essentially sold out first week.

oh my TLS ;-;



good for dragon age and last story!



Good numbers for TLS. Nice hold for DK!



Currently Playing: Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked, Professor Layton and the Curious Village

Anticipating: Xenoblade, The Last Story, Mario Kart 7, Rayman Origins, Zelda SS, Crush3D, Tales of the Abyss 3DS, MGS:Snake Eater 3DS, RE:Revelations, Time Travellers, Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney, Luigi's Mansion 2, MH TriG, DQ Monsters, Heroes of Ruin

Ah, not the 150k I had hoped for but 120k is still good, and the first shipment being close to sold is a good sign.



I hoped TLS would at least do better than White Knight Chronicles (the only other highly hyped new IP JRPG) week 1 since it was better reviewed, more hyped, from a much better developer and much better itself. But its due to sell outs then its Nintendo's fault.

What was Xenoblades week 1 and where did it end up? Was its first week shipment sold out?

Otherwise   @PS3 SALES!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey
