Yep Fragile did what most people expected in Japan and apparently Namco Bandai knew that as well. Only shipped about 40,000 and it'll sell about 30k-35k in its first week. I guessed 50k first week and 100k LT so I'll be pretty spot on for totals.

Not surprising considering new IPs continue to bomb in Japan. Namco better make sure they release this outside of Japan.

 

Well, as Louie mentioned on the first page, ultimately it's what retailers decide to order. I'm sure Namco would have liked to ship far more than that.

Klonoa, We ski, One piede , Tales spin off, Dragon ball ports are the better IP of Namco Bandai pffff
Yeah all the people in the world sold his xbox and ps3 and go to buy a wii with we ski and klonoa

^Well, how about acknowledging that the games that appeal to you are on the other consoles?

Those games must be of considerable quality if they sell a lot. Learn that the world doesn't revolve around you for once...

I predicted 120k for Fragile (lifetime.) Not much hope of making it now...

Heh. Soriku was expecting it to outsell TOS :P

Again, Namco Bandai doesn't decide how much units will be shipped at launch. Hey Zucas you know that

A 100-120k sounds plausible for Fragile Lifetime in Japan. I'm more interested on a overseas release just like Klonoa

 Pff Soriku =p....  He also expected that Heavenly Sword, R&C, COD4 (PS3), AC (PS3) will be no million seller =p.

Wait, 16k in one day means it can't sell 120k in over 5 years? 120k is practically guarenteed.

Fragile's sales could have been alot worse. I'll wait and see how much this sells in the next couple weeks before saying it was a success or failure.

TOS first day = 120k

TOS LTD = 220k

If this is any indication of JRPG legs on Wii in Japan, Fragile will sell roughly 30k lifetime :P
