Mezase!! Tsuri Master= 4,000/ 29,000
[Nintendo]The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess= 3,000/ 436,000 (disappointing, but solid nonetheless. I expected it to outsell TWW's 700k, but an impossiblity now & has been)
[Nintendo]Pokémon Battle Revolution= 3,000/ 255,000
Fire Emblem: GoD= 3,000/ 127,000 (quite an accomplishment seeing as how GC's PoR had more than double the userbase when it launched & sold 150,000 ltd.)
[Hudson Soft]Bomberland= 2,000/ 23,000
[Atari]Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2= 2,000/ 123,000

PS3


Pro Baseball Spirits 4= 6,000/ 40,000
[Namco-Bandai]Gundam Musou= 3,000/ 246,000 (expected this to sell much more to the existing userbase given its popularity there, but was simply frontloaded)

Im not shocked at the ps3 numbers frankly they should not have released the console until a decent number of japan style games were available . Shocking decision in my eyes .

Wow if those NeoGAF numbers are accurate, Sony is more trouble than I thought. The PS3 came out and basically killed PS2 sales in Japan and now its gotten to the point where the PS2 even at mere 12k for the week has outsold the PS3. I know someone joked on the forum that the PS3 weekly sales were going to match 360 weekly sales. I don't think that is plausible, but I'm actually beginning to wonder now.



11.000 is a lot for a console which has basically nothing for sale in Japan. I think most people over there buy the console for the Blu Ray option, if there wasn't any Blu Ray option available then the figures would have been totally dramatic.

I think Monster Kingdom and Ninja Gaiden can give a small boost but not big enough to come any near the WII. Other then that there's nothing to look forward to for the Japanese except a few typical American sports games and 2 shooters and we all know that shooters aren't Japanese favorite type of game... neither of mine though.

PSP isn't selling well either. DS and WII on the other hand are like record breaking, can see the supplies are higher now. The WII sells more then PSP, PS3 and PS2 together.

11k, wow.

When Trusty Bell comes out, we could see the 360 ahead of the PS3 for a few weeks.

Dark times ahead indeed.

11k a week in Japan + 26k a week in NA/US. Wow.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

 Wow! Very objective. I think you are absolutely right. I also think "waiting" until games are made was also not an option. I don't think it is an option for any system.  Every system needs updates and slight alterations and that is thanks to user feedback nothing is perfect.

That's not that far off, really. The PS3 could go as low as 5k, me thinks, within shooting distance of the 360. Imagine the explosion that would ensue on internetland if that were to happen, even for just one week. I sincerely can't wait.

 

Sinobi predicts sub 10k in May. I think it could come sooner barring Golden Week, of course so it could happen next week.



Japanese people follow trends SO badly... Nintendo is cool now, PS3 is not, so EVERYTHING Nintendo sells is the best thing ever now, it can easily change next generation but right now... Nintendo has Japan in the bag for this whole generation. No if's, no buts.

 Me thinks it may not be trends but more along the lines of library. But whatever makes you feel better.
