I know all that very well. However, that doesn't change the point I was making. The barrier of entry for games to the COMG chart is usually very low, often 15-30 points or so. Any game worth noting will make that. The point was that PS3 doesn't dominate in terms of amount on games on the COMG charts because the charts are Sony-centric, BUT because PS3 actually gets the greatest support (most numerous games).

Actually, it doesn't or at least didn't until perhaps recently.  For years the DS was both the sales and volume leader yet it never dominated the COMG charts.

Since 2010? PSP was the highest selling console in 2010. DS sold a bit more software that year, but in the top 100 titles there were only 27 DS games. There were 26 PSP games and 27 PS3 games in the top 100 that same year. 

Then in 2011, PSP and PS3 were far ahead of DS in both hardware and software sales. They also sold a lot more software than 3DS that year. 

And what would be the reason for 2012 then since 3DS sold significantly more hardware and software than either PS3 or PSP? cause the trend didn't change from 2011 to 2012.



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

[PSV] Dragon's Crown - 70%
[PS3] The Witch and the Hundred Knights - 60-70%
[WIU] LEGO City Undercover - 40-50%
[3DS] Fantasy Life: Link! - 20%

I think that's great for everything but Level 5, as usual.



Boutros on 27 July 2013

Also, with a budget of $1 Million, Dragon's Crown is a huge success. It should do around 150k FW combined.

GS5 should definitely do 180k+. I just hope that if it meets or exceeds Capcom's expectations they will make a new one sooner than releasing the next main one 6 years later.

They really should have waited for a main entry in both franchises before releasing Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney.

It would have done much better.

Agreed, but then they would of had the game in the back for at least a year and some months.

I really do wonder if GS5 can come close to GS4  FW.

That's a pretty decent sellthrough for LEGO City. Although I'm sure the shipment was probably low, at least it's selling pretty in-line with retailer expectations. Good news.

I hope Witch & Hundred Knights does okay too. Not too worried about Dragon's Crown anymore.

That's not a bad percentage for Phoenix Wright, but definitely not a good one. Will need good weekend sales because the series isn't very leggy.

The Witch and the Hundred Knights will be in same boat. Niche JRPGs really have to sell 80%+ of its shipment FW if there's any hope of a 2nd shipment.
