Boutros on 05 October 2011

It is said that Dark Souls had a sell-through of 90% in it's first week which might explain the steep drop.

But it's true that PS3 games tend to be very front-loaded.

3DS almost 60k without any new game releases.

88% drop for Dark Souls, PS3 games are the perfect antonym for the term "legs". Of course its total sales (Dark Souls) are outsanding.

01./00. [PSP] Eiyuu Densetsu: Ao no Kiseki # (Nihon Falcom) {2011.09.29} (¥6.090) - 127.938 / NEW

This is a great feat for such a niche company.

 

 Flora and Fauna 3D Field Guide was released. I hear it's big with people who enjoy both flora and fauna.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

I remember what Enterbrain forecasted for 3DS, I'm glad to see the will be again wrong.



Nintendo 3DS

2011:2,868,000 - 2012: 2,475,000


They won't be that wrong for 2011, 3DS still has to reach 2m in Japan for the year, and it lacks only three months of data (although they are the most important ones). As for 2012, I don't see it selling less than this year, especially after the announcement of MH4.

3DS will definitely sell more than 2,868,000 for 2011. That's only 900,000 unit to go with a packed Nov and Dec to come. Don't forget that DS sold 600K in a week in Dec 2005 in Japan. I think there is even a possibility that 3DS will reach 2868K when MH3rd G hits.

Wow, the preview overestimated both Dark Souls and (especially) Dragon Quest. Where are those supposed DQ legs that will be the difference between DQ and Dark Souls??

Dark Soul had a larger first week (279.567 vs 263.398) and higher second week drop (89% vs 79%)... right now it does look like DQ has the "better" leg so far.



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.

I wasn't hatin... I just stated that a game bout Flora and Fauna would appeal to people who are into Flora or Fauna. I happen to be a fan of the natural world.

ooo with this PS3 and 360 are statistically tied for WW sales! I thought for sure with FIFA, PS3 would top 360.

and I'm not saying overall DQ collection won't outleg it...would be pleasantly surprised if it does BUT keep in mind that DS was soldout at many places (can't remember if the report said 80 or 90% sell through with shortages)

source just failed hard trying to downplay DS...

Wait, I want to corfrect myself. Using Media Create data, 360 beats PS3 by 9k. I added incorrectly before.

I'm shocked.

Yet I'm sad Gears 3 didn't track week 2 in Japan.

The DQ collection was also sold out at several places as well. In fact, I still see it OOS at some places.
