Forums - Sales Discussion - Japan First Day Sales (11/27)

So the first day of it fell by 13k, so it needs to do another 13k for this week to do the same as before.

I think it can manage.



Around the Network

Good numbers all around, finally Japanese have started to buy some games.



Patapon 2 was also bundled.



PSN - hanafuda

Well I guess this confirms it then Football games on the p3 sell better then Squarenix rpg's on the 360. sweet



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

Ouch @ Almost everything. Very few games had decent sellthrough numbers.

  • Layton 3 did OK. Looks to be lower than Layton 2 for first week sales (which did just north of 300k). Could hit 650k+ LTD.
  • PES3 on PS3 did ok (may hit 2008's numbers). X360 version bombed, or nearly bombed.
  • Warriors Orochi 2 bombed.
  • Rune Factory Frontier did pretty bad....At 43% sellthrough, it won't sell anywhere near it's shipment. Better than recent 3st party releases, but still awful given what the Wii has sold....When was the last time the Wii actually launched a new title to real strong sales?
  • Agarest Senki sold OK given what the PS3 version did (around 9k first week).

 



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Professor layton good, Pes 09 in ps3 did good i actually thought it would be higher, will be interesting how much ps3 hardware will be next week.



 

Tamogochi bomba.



Bet - "PES 2009 (PS3) will sell (closer to) 150k first week in Japan" - Pooperscopper
"It will sell closer to 125k" - Me I agree.
ME = OWNED :(

End of '09 Predictions:

Wii: 78 million
X360: 35 million
PS3: 27 million

u gotta be kidding me..........360 should be a little higher with PEZ Despenser 09.

What this charts says out loud is how stupid Konami is to ignore the PS2 userbase this time. They might as well take the expected sales in Japan and divide it by at least two. And the PS3 numbers decreasing with a much bigger userbase and no competition from the PS2 is really bad.
