Pretty good start for GTA LCS... It should be around 40k. Good.

Wait... LCS was just released over in Japan?

 Yeah. They will probably get GTA VCS next year or so...

 Of course it isn't bad. But the shipments was too many (more than 100k)...



If you need something about Japanese market from the perspective of Japanese, please contact me.

Dewy bombed, confirmed.

Aren't those gundam numbers disappointing for a Wii game? I thought anything with the word Gundam was a seller there...



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

Wow, interesting numbers.

HSG around expectations - but MP8 a little low (still unknown). Should sell strongly throughout the week - estimate 250k for the week, HSG 150k-180k. HSG still over my "line in the sand", so all is good.

PS3 hardware disapointment. Pretty big/important point in this generation. Still - software matters too, and as long as HSG sells well - things are ok.

But still... "This is not the news PS3 fans are looking for" (said in Obi-wan accent).

@ckmlb - 10k for Dewy day#1 is ok. I never pinged it as a "huge" title - 20-25k for first week is more than reasonable (no idea what the shipment is either).

Possibly the best news for 360 (and doesn't it need some good news around now - a big seller in Japan would be a nice tonic!).

And finally... good news for Gundam on the Wii. Didn't seem to be a huge title, yet 60k for opening week = pretty good.

...

Congrats y-koron - soon we'll have a board full of mods!

EDIT - oops.. thought it was 10k for Dewy - not 1k! Konami still fails to show any Ninty love... :(

How is 60k for a gundam game on Wii good? Am I missing something?

 If we think "Target in Sight (PS3)" is the suibject of comparison, it is not so bad. Basically, Gundam game wasn't sold so much.

the gundam game is a FPS and it got like 25 or 27 out of 40 from famitsu (that's quite bad).

I'm gonna take a guess that mario party will sell more than HGS first week, even if HGS outsells first day (which is not clear) i think mario party will sell more over the course of the week.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

I don't know why they decided to release dewy and guilty gear on a week like this. HGS and mario party and oblivion are taking all the sales on the 3 platforms.

Woah @ Oblivion. Thats just fantastic news. A WRPG not only gets one of the best scores in Famitsu in forever, but it's already reached 10% of the X360 userbase in 1 day. If it did indeed break the 1st week record for X360, it'd have to manage around ~90k, or around 70k without a bundled game. My 75k prediction doesn't look so insane anymore, eh?

Everything else looks good - my HSG post earlier from gamerfront was rather close. MP8 will take the pole position, and everything else did pretty decent.

IMO, the Gundam game should of done a bit better considering the userbase, but we'll have to see how its legs do - Gundam on PS3 (not Mousou) managed ~100k on so few consoles.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
