Forums - Sales - Japan sales: M-Create & Famitsu & Dengeki week 20 (May 13 - May 19 )

Woah. Even tomodachi is starting to trickle bad down. Not a lot of good things to say about this week.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Even the 3DS is starting to get close to bad territory, and the rest is doing absolutely terrible.

The market has shrunk so much.  In the same week in 2007, the DS sold about 50% more hardware than everything combined this week.

It was around 40% according to the VGC numbers. Do you have Famitsu numbers by any chance?

Still, either way...Jesus Christ. o_0

I was using MC numbers.  111,239 DS 2007, 73,056 total this week.

Famitsu numbers were 112,309 for the DS/L in 2007.  219,127 for all hardware that week.

Ah, okay. Thanks for clarifying. :)

Seriously, though...looking at those numbers, one has to wonder how much of an impact even the new consoles will make at this point. I mean, the Wii U just came out, and the 3DS and Vita have only been out for a year or two. I'm really starting to worry now.



Have some time to kill? Read my shitty games blog. http://www.pixlbit.com/blogs/586/gigantor21

Tomodachi ripping Luigi to pieces

Not only will Baldr be surprised, but Soriku might be too next week then lol.

Dang some positive news is that Tomodachi is almost at 1 million now.

But horrible numbers. That post slump lol.

I reckon that SMT IV will do better in comparison to COMG points, a 1:1 ratio is better expected for games on Nintendo devices. Still, we must not embrace the hype.

 

Slow week all around, but it's still post GW, last year it was the same. 3DS needs to find it's base, and I'm starting to believe that MH4 and Pokemon are more needed than I have expected. Which is not a good sign, as one could think that WiiU will need a hell of a list of games to become sustainable, games that are not on the horizon.

PSV, was not managed well by Sony, I mean to not even have enough supply to maintain the sales you are expecting to increase. Now the Price-cut card has been played and, the future does not look very good. PSP could be still considered a better console to develop.

Well of course, last one on DS did around 3m, while Luigi on GameCube did not get to 1m. The sales of Luigi's Mansion have exceeded expectations.

 

Pokemon Black & White 2 reached 3 million.



Complete comic

Vita, oh dear oh dear... price cut failure, back under 10k soon?

...and my PS3 prediction of down 30% for the year looks bang on. Other peoples predicitions don't look so hot.

I reckon WiiU can overtake PS3 weekly numbers before the end of the Summer.


Do you have no comment on Wii-U's number for this week?
