Forums - Sales - Golden Week Expectations

thx1139 on 27 April 2011

Last Year

Golden Week spanned two reporting period. Mostly in the 1st period.

Week b4
Wii 24K
PS3 24K

1st week
Wii 32K
PS3 29K

2nd week
Wii 32K
PS3 25K

Week after
Wii 17K
PS3 18K

So it also looks like Golden Week takes sales from subsequent weeks.

 



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

This is going to be the worst Golden Week ever, there isn't any relevant new title. At least I guess  3DS will manage to stabilize for a week ...

PSP will have a new shipment ready, so we can expect great sales. (around 60k - 70k units)

Last year we had Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.

01. / 00. [NDS] Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 (Square Enix) - 623,643 / NEW 
02. / 00. [PSP] Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (Konami) - 434,366 / NEW

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What will happen to GT5 and LittleBigPlanet 2? nothing, both games bombed hard and no one in Japan cares about them anymore.

Will the Wii move back above 20k during the week? above 10k yes. (12k - 15k)

Where will the PS3 end up? 30k - 35k

 

 

 

I think LittleBigPlanet 2 could reach 5k-7k for a week and GT5 could return to 5k for a week. At least that's my prediction.
