All those digital codes make me think if NSMB2 can even reach 600k physical sales first week. Or are those codes counted?

I think those redeem codes will be counted as retail sales.

After all, Famitsu and Media Create numbers come from data obtained from the stores and, basically, those codes will be sold in retail stores.

I don't think so, unless it's said by them. Only one store chain will carry them, also. It's still digital sales, after all, much like those download codes that come bundled with systems that no one counts.

Wait and see, I guess.

Technically they aren't a digital sale, it's still the store that sells the game, but in the form of a code that needs to be redeemed.

But as you say, we can only wait and see.

One store? What?

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/dlsoft/shop.html

There are quite a few listed there and those are big chains that have several stores all across the country.

7-11 already started selling the cards along with some other stores, but most won't start until release day 7/28. You can't redeem them on the e-shop until then anyway.

Oh, thanks for the info!

But do you think these'll count in their tracking? Personally, I think not.

I read "Pazuru in Airou" as "Paizuri in Action". It isn't that far off from some of the legitimate PSP titles right?



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

I think so honestly. The SPs like Media Create and Famitsu count retailer sales, and as such these will be marked as NSMB2 and Demon Training sales for the retailers selling them. I'd personally think so, but as you said it's wait and see.

Yeah, but in the end, the sell is going to be a digital game... for example, VG chartz could track those halo reach vouchers from bundles, but don't do so.There's probably other examples (I think infamous has the same)

In the end, it'll not matter much, since nintendo promised to publish digital sales. So, we'll have the numbers either way.

Well it looks like this week would be the last for Tokyo Jungle to stay in the charts ( unless a special edition would be release then it would be back)


It was fun cause I dont think anyone expected to do as good as it had ( Probably even Sony and Japan Studio). Hope it fine similar success in the west)


lol Level5 cant catch a break.



 

Bet with gooch_destroyer, he wins if FFX and FFX-2 will be at $40 each for the vita. I win if it dont

160k 3DS and 660k Mario. Wouldn't those cards be counted as retail sales? 

Well, there shouldn't be any problem to track those. The issue is with the online codes, and the 3DS e-shop.
