OMG shocker the Japanese barely bought a first person shooter.
Man and here I was expecting Sony domination to satart with Rainbow Six...
Fact is that's a lot better than I expected, just like Call of Duty 3 sold better than I thought lits launch week (13k I think)
This should end up at like 10k for the week, very respectable for an FPS comparatively.
Edit: Very good for Ratchet and Clank day 1 on PSP.
Overall good week for PS2/PSP software.

Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

One of my most anticipated games for the WII so far, together with Dewy, Mario Galaxy and Treasure Island Z :) And Gundam looks like a great game as well, I'm almost for sure I'll be picking that one up. Donkey Kong dissappoints me with sales :( Looking forward to see how the game plays. Got myself a version of Hajime no Ippo as well :D |
19 games already? you're a few ahead of me -- I have 13 Wii games right now. I'm *very* picky, though, and have only purchased games that would give me a minimium of 20 hours of really fun play (although some, like Excite Truck, have given me much, much more). Also, I limited it to games I thought both myself and my fiancee would love -- she didn't play Zelda, but otherwise she's loved them all. Especially Godfather.
To be fair, I have quite a list of games I'd buy at $20 that I simply haven't been certain enough to spend $50 on. Elebits is probably at the top of that list.
Good numbers for PSP and PS2 software .Now I am curious to see the second week of Folksouls to see if it can remain strong with new shipments or if its moment has just passed without making noise ....
LoL. DK Jets. That was supposed to come out in 2004, but Rare never managed to finish it. Tack on Wii Controls and you have a port of a game that was not even that interesting.
Thanks for the numbers, y-koron. I'm also interested in hearing about FolksSoul. Is there any news of more retailer orders and such, do ya know?

| shams said: DK race hasn't impressed me in any form so far. It screams "quick GC->Wii port", and it will probably sell like one. Will be a good week for PS2 - have to wonder how Zelda will sell in week#2. Going to be really interesting. |
Agree, personally I think they should have realesed it on the cube as a late game. I mean the port should have taken some time anyway.

Buy it and pray to the gods of Sigs: Naznatips!
What I don't understand is: WHY THE GAME DON'T SUPPORT THE DK BONGOS!!! Damn! =(. I'm pretty disappointed...
maybe Zelda is still on the 1st place this week.... with 300k again...
but probability is quite low.

ouch? in the japanese market 5k(+/-) isnt that bad for first day sales for an FPSs.
