Forums - Sales Discussion - First Day Sales in Japan (Unfortunately, WE 2008 Wii Bombed)

ZenfoldorVGI on 22 February 2008

Hmm, you guys think Winning Eleven bombed? Those are first day sales. We're lookin at 40-60k here, right? That's pretty darn good, imo, I don't know what we were expecting, but maybe I'm crazy.

On a side note, looks like Etrian Odyssey 2 could outsell Brawl if all the stars align.

>Wow I thought that Lost Planet will sold more in the first day on PS3 ...

being on-par with bioshock isn't bad. ;)

 Except that PS3 has over triple install base than 360 in Japan ...

@Benga: Yes but the shipments weren't that big either. The few months delay was probably the biggest factor but let's not forget that Wii is most succesful home console in Japan. PS2 version sold on 1st day 155k and PS3 version 107k.

Yeah man, but you know as well as I do that nobody expected it to reach those numbers, when it wasn't even announced for the Wii back then. Most adopters already picked it up, some even bought PS3 for that game.

 

I think if it hits 50k plus for first week, it'll have sold as well as any sane predictor expected it to sell.

 

If the next rendition launches at the same time as the other versions, then we'll see a real comparison.

Wii might be the most popular, but can't compete with PS2 install base. Like said before WE wasn't supposed to come to Wii and the PS3 had the benefit of the franchise being (basically) Playstation exclusive in Japan (not been on GC), therefore triggering the big fans to step to PS3.

Besides that, the controls are supposed to be completely different. It probably needs alot of good reactions to trigger "legs".

@Zenfolder: I gave those numbers just for comparision, I'm not saying it should top them. I think it was known for a long time that Wii version is coming not sure if actual date was set. I hope it will do 41k first week (that's my guess in prediction league).

@Benga: Wii is software-wise most important home console in Japan. PS2 may have bigger hardware userbase but in December Wii sold 3x more software and in January 5x more.

Hmmm, Im still looking forward to Lost Planet for the PS3 (just for Trophy collecting), even though I've heard how badly the game is gimped.

Be happy youre somewhat getting sympathy from me Capcom.

Also good to know Burnout Paradise has been released in Japan .Such a great game ...although only some 20 thousand japanese will enjoy it sadly .

LP (PS3) is already starting to look like a bomb...wonder how 1st week sales will come out.
