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!


 Don't worry about it !  Remember that Brain training 's first week (on may 2005) was only about 40K... What happened after is History....

Thanks y-koron ! 

 

Test Drive and Rainbow6 sold rather well . Maybe it could help X360 outselling PS3 this week ?

 Probably, no.  There is no info Xbox360 is sold quite more than before.

 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"

 


SE's current strategy seems to be simple.  Put the kiddie stuff on the DS.  Look at Children of Mana and Heroes of Mana.  Ugh.  Children sold over 300,000, but that game clearly left a bad taste in the mouth of many, which is why Heroes bombed.

Famitsu's review of FFXII RW hinted that it is more of the same.

The PSP is getting the titles aimed at a more mature market.

@ hanafuda

What's the Famitsu score for FF12RW? 



What I don't get is why Nintendo brought over Big Brain Acadamy, when Brain Training is the big franchise. Brain Training sold 5 mill. Big Brain Acadamy sold 1.5 mill. But the first full week on DS sold 66,000 so 15,000 for the first DAY for a system with a smaller userbase isn't too strange. First off it's not the kind of game you go bonkers to get launch day, it's much more casual, expect its sales to spread out. the DS version sold the same number the second week as it did the first week. either way when comparing it to the DS sales it still definitly has the potential to hit a million.

I wonder where the two x360 titles will land. perhaps they'll have two in the top 20?



Boring like in FFIII? Have to check Amazon, Yahoo and all to check out Japanese responses. Got FFIII from Japan as well but was soooooo boring, louzy story, boring gameplay, not really used to that when it comes to Japanese games. Really dropped my interest in Square Enix to a deep level concerning Final Fantasy. Pokemon is a whole lot more of fun. Perhaps they should have kicked some mighty voice actings in the game to make it sound more interesting. I hope FF Anniversay won't be such a dissapointment either, if not I'll buy part 2 next month as well or else it's probably over with FF for me

To be honest I don't like the latest strategy of SE one single bit! Especially not with their upcoming so called project in where we can see all sorts of games of FFXIII. I don't know how the responses are from the Japanese but I'm really start to be fed up with SE that way. With Xenosaga for example, was a different story and was based on one console only but to drop games of 1 certain game on to different platforms with a continious story is really confussing.

Hanafuda-san, do you know an online store where you can buy Weekly Famitsu which they ship to Europe? Japanese only website is fine ;)

One Piece Unlimited Adventure 30.000... "already"? Planning to buy that game myself as well.
