I got minna no chizu 2 plus GPS.  It is rather nice.

The small shop I go to had a pile of FFXII RW boxes (the boxes that contain multiple copies of the game) behind the counter, and she looked very pleased when I asked her if they were selling well...

180k for 1 day should work out to be about 400,000 by the end of the week ...

Big Brain Academy for the Wii seems low, but the first brain traning game on the DS took a long time to build steam and I wonder whether this will be the same.

I've expected new FF for DS to outsell remake of FFIII (over 500k - first week). Probably it won't happen. Weird times in Japan...

I doubt it.  It looks weak.  This type of software is best suited to the DS, where more mature players can spend time on them.  Kids don't want to play this kind of stuff.  Multiplayer Brain Academy?  Yawn.

I do not believe these numbers. Big Brain Academy almost sells in the DS Lite 5 million games (only one of the two games). E now speaks to me that it sells only a 15 thousand.

I go to wait for OFFICIAL numbers!

You can always count on Y-Koron for First day sales, keep up the good work. FFXII:RW does seem to be a little bit on the low side, if you can call 180k low that is. I'm wondering if its becuase of the love/hate feelings toward FFXII? Games in Japan usually sell most of their units on day one right Y-Koron?

by the way, how does BBA costs ?  cheap price ?



y-koron on 27 April 2007

 In addion, for many gemers in Japan, the number of FF12RW (180k) is much larger than expected.

 

And rating of FF12RW tends to be completely separated on internet.

  "really boring" or "great game"
