The game is Fire Emblem btw.

I wouldn't be surprised if Pokemon's Gotta catch en all becomes Gotta buy en all... Pokémon could mean a gold mine in this market.

Is this also thread-worthy?

Go for it!

Those are really good numbers.

Very well!

Found this on NeoGAF:

(By Chris1964)

" First day sellthrough

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning - 70%
Eureka Seven AO: Jungfrau no Hanabanatachi - Game & Ova Hybrid Disc - 30-40%
Final Fantasy III - 30%
Tiger & Bunny: On-Air Jack! - 30%
Hunter x Hunter: Wonder Adventure - 20%
LittleBigPlanet PS Vita - Sony better give up with LBP in Japan "

I wonder what was the shipment numbers for KoA. That's a nice sellthrough.

And ouch at LBP: Vita :/

Man, I thought LBP would do acceptable numbers (not Jack Tretton's kind of "acceptable", acceptable)

Maybe it can shine in the weekend, Hiska-kun here say that kids games do better in the weekend (it's you who say that right?)

FF 3 will do well, I think. Any sale = free money also.

Out of interest, what made you think LBP would do well in Japan?  The last handheld entry managed 10k LTD, and the PSP has way more units out there than the Vita.  

The way Chris1964 sounded, the game won't even chart.

I don't know, the game being good, low price, seeing some marketing materials. The last one managed double that of what you said... 20k! Yeah... Not that good, though, you're right, I should've checked, I thought they were better. PS3 numbers are allright.

But my "acceptable" was not big... something around 30k FW - 40k LT.

Where have you got the 20k number from?  I was just going off VGChartz figures:

http://www.vgchartz.com/game/32174/littlebigplanet/Japan/

Which has it at 11k LTD, 4k first week.  And that was in 2009, when there were 13 million PSP's in the wild.

In any case, regardless of 11k or 20k, it was still a very low opener and just as low seller in Japan on a more successful console.  I think expecting more than double those figures on a system with less than 1 million install base is... incredibly optimistic :P

edit: Oh, and for comparison:

http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly/40153/Japan/

The week LBP PSP charted in Japan, it reached #51.  So... yeah.  I like that you're being positive because it seems like it deserves the sales, but really there wasn't much chance of it selling well over there :P

From here, great site for japanese sales

You can also search for MC top 500 threads of the year of the game you want info on neogaf. Both excellent ways of knowing japanese sales.

It was... I though by memory the game did a little better, as the first did quite alright, with 122k.
