Gran bomba 6, vita tv scratching the botton, nintendo pacman, DQX expansion sold out, mario up. really interesting week.

Gran bomba? You know it's selling better than Mario 3D, right?

It's down YOY and this year it had Pokemon, and MH4, I think there are reasons to worry, and to describe it as lame.

Do you even know what bombing means? What in hell makes you think that a game should sell less than a Mario game before someone can say that it bombed?

I wouldn't say that it bombed but it's a weak opening for sure for GT 6. But I'm more curious at your reasoning for including Mario as the comparision point for a gran turismo game.

And . Excellent Wii U sales.

yeah, on an installed base 8x bigger. and let's see how long that lasts.

DQX First week

SM3DW Third week

Goo DQ!

Both are selling less than their previous games, yet we should be ok with one and scrutinize the other.

It sold about twice as well, but the install base for the PS3 is about 8x bigger than the Wii U.  Obviously, that doesn't mean that it should sell 8x more, but the expectations should definitely be higher.  It also opened at about half of what GT5 did. 

Didn't see you use the install base excuse when you were comparing Knack's sales to Mario's.

I agree that Mario is the most relevant thing in this industry and should be used to measure the success of everything else, but, I would suggest you also consider that the last game in the franchise opened with 430.707 (MC)
