The charts are for softwares in its first day of sales, you should wait for atleast a week to know how the PSP3000 is doing.

| Xen said: 50k? that's it? in all honesty, I expected far more. |
lol, Xen...you know that's what everyone said when Wii Fit launched, right? It's an evergreen title. You might want to reconsider using that in a lot more Wii Music launch posts.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
@ mrstickball - You're totally right but.... Those sales just don't make a difference when you consider development costs for HD. At least not when you're only taking the Japanese market into account. DQ on Wii in Japan was WAY more profittable then MGS4 which on Japan sales only would have still lost money. A LOT of money.
For Japanese developers developing a traditional game for the Japanese market the only really viable (IE: safe) bet is to make a PS2 game and maybe port to Wii.
And that's just a pathetic state of affairs no matter how you slice it.
As for Wii, it's clear, people are not buying a Wii to play the 'same old, same old' so developers shouldn't even go there.

See, here's the problem: The X360, PS2 and PS3, despite their userbases, manage to sell core titles. Not as much as they used to, but despite the userbases, there have been some successes, again despite the user bases. You have to realize something is wrong with your userbases' buying habits (the Wii's) when Metal Gear Solid 4 on PS3 can nearly outsell your top 2, 3rd party games on another system with well over twice the userbase. Here's the damning list against the Wii of Top 3rd Party Console Games. All next-gen systems, with games above 100,000 units sold:
As it stands, The Playstation 3 is the best seller of 3rd party software over 100k (and most likely entirely). Period. Maybe that's me, but if console has almost 1/3rd the hardware units in the wild, yet are outselling your competition, there's a massive problem. I'm not going to comment further than this, because I think the numbers speak for themselves. |
Thats sad if thats the lifetime sales if you've taken the cost of developing HD games on PS360. Unless you're a very rich 3rd party then you can waste money like what SEGA did on Golden Axe 27 million dollars if you've sum that up and the only userbase you got are from japan and then the sales are below 500,000 then you have big loses.

I know dude. All Wii "-" titles will sell till the end of the Wii. But still, it could've done more.

Naah... the PS2 was on life support compared to the Wii, like I said again and again, it will be soon that 3rd parties will forced to develop games for the Wii because of the hardware sales it gots. SURE, the PS2 and the HD consoles are selling but for how long? Every month the gap between the Wii and DS and other consoles are getting wider and wider...

@mrstickball: Do you expect games like MGS4, a game with one of the biggest budgets ever, to be topped by borderline shovelware titles like Dragon Quest Swords?
Have you given a good look at the list, and compared budgets? If a big franchise like MGS4 came out and flopped on the Wii, I could see your point, otherwise I'm not getting it. It isn't even close to a fair comparison. It looks more like proof that third parties aren't even trying, yet are still somehow managing nice sales.
