Maybe things will be impacted more next week but the 3ds continues to decline I wonder where is it will even out.

was that japan or WW cause the 3DS launches in the states march 27th which should post at least a half million that week. can't remember when the euro launch, is that coming before the fiscal year as well? |
on Friday.
Mines already been dispatched as well! :D
It really looks like Japan is going to decide a lot of the PS3/360 worldwide weekly sales battles now, it really doesn't do the 360 any favours at all compared to other regions. The simple fact the 360 sells equivilent to the PS2 says it all really.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Just Japan, Worldwide estimates were around 4 million units.

| Bruno Muñoz said: Early Nintendo projections for 3DS were around 1.5 million units shipped before fiscal year ending March 31. 2 weeks before that date the 3DS has sold 742,244 units so it will end up selling around 850,000 units when the fiscal year ends. Honestly it's been a very disappointing launch, fortunately it will be easy to turn things around but Nintendo made amateur mistakes, the biggest their launch game Nintendogs cats. A game with a very tired formula and on top of it its predecessor underperformed in Japan regarding Western sales.

Nintendo's retarded. Nintencats would've made the perfect post-launch spring/summer game, to get casuals interested in the platform. Everything else at launch is either core or crossover oriented, Nintencats is totally out of place and totally wasted on early adopters. Personally, I think they should've said "fuck 3rd parties" and had OOT 3D ready day one, but even Steel Diver or Pilotwings would've made more sense than this.

April is once again empty for the Wii with only Earth Seeker coming out as a semi decent release (most likrly won't reach 100k lifetime). And May has no games announced either. |
Wii also had Deca Sports 4 canceled in the recent Hudson massacre. That's probably less due to Wii than it is Konami though, considering 2 PS3 projects also got killed (Bonk and some fishing game) as well as 3 games for 3DS (Bomberman, Bonk and Omega Five). No one's sure what's happening to the rest of Hudson's games, the only ones that've been 100% confirmed to release are Deca Sports 3DS and that Sudoku 3DS game (probably because they're already almost entirely done).
Level 5 confirmed a summer release for IE Strikers. Current speculation is that "more family friendly" means piling on the minigames (which worked well for other family oriented Wii sports titles). At this point though, yeah, it's pretty much just Nintendo holding the fort alone. We might see Taiko Wii 4, or a Basara 3 append disc, but 3rd parties are almost entirely out now. It's getting to the point where soon Nintendo will be publishing more 3rd party games (Just Dance 2, Goldeneye, New Fatal Frame) than 3rd parties themselves, lol.
Troy Musou isn't a "big" game either. It's another Koei Canada production that the Japanese will most likely avoid like the plague. 100k if it's lucky, and I mean lucky.
PS3 also had Disaster Report 4 canceled entirely, for pretty obvious reasons.

oh yeah, now i remember. thanks.
yes, this launch is going to be well below those expectations. wow.
things arent looking good for the 3DS, and u dont even need to be pessimistic to note it.
pwin´ every other villain since 1994
splinter cell tanked...bad timing for a release I guess..or is this the normal numbers for the franchise?
anywho another week. wii still < 10 k...Horrible numbers
PS3 is settling down to the usual around 25k numbers this week without releases. Wonder if it will go even furthure down next week

You are right about Troy. Earth Seeker won't be doing too hot either although both of them were at the Famitsu's most wanted list (at the very bottom)
I wanted to wait for confirmation on Deca Sports 4 and Disaster Report 4 cancellations, if they indeed have been cancelled, then I'm gonna have to erase them from the list I keep on updating.
Nintendo is gonna have to publish Western 3rd party games in Japan if anything, since there are almost zero Japanese 3rd party games coming out. Andhaving to publish western games is simply terrible. Nintendo will be having a tough year in Japan.
