From sinobi:

- TOW RM2 is 160% of TOW RM1 first day (it's already bigger than its first week too). Best first day for the series since 2006 , beating Tales of Hearts (DS) (122k), Tales of Symphony - New Dawn (Wii) (122k), Tales of Innocence (DS) (76k), Tales of Vesperia (X360) (71k), TODDC (PS2) (72k), TOD2 (PSP) (52k)...

Very impressive for a mere 'Tales of' spin-off!

YoY comparison for Winning Eleven games (first day):

                  2008       2009

PS2 27% (156k vs 42k)

PS3 88% (107k vs 94k)

PSP 128% (36k vs 46k)

PS2 number dropped horribly, PS3 version sold less that the last year, and only the PSP figures improved.

I doubt this tales will make it here, given the last one bombed here. It appears I should just learn Japanese. Also nice first day sales for all besides Soul Eater and wii final fantasy chrystal chronicles EoT, I doubt this one will beat ring of fate.

Also this isn't a mere-spinoff....it has every "important" tales character in the game. FFD did better than other PSP FFs......because of fanservice.

So not every Final Fantasy is a guaranteed Big seller.

FINALY NEW TALES GAME FOR PSP!
Wonder when it comes to Europe?
Tales of Eternia is one of my best Jprg:s of all time.

] Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time

What is this?Very low sales for Final Fantasy game that is released for 2 most popular systems on Japan right now.

Well, Namco localised the first one, and that was when the PSP userbase was much, much lower - everywhere. I'd say there's a good chance this one will be coming to the West sometime in 2009...

So PES PS3 sells about as well as last year, but the PS2 version decreases hard. Well done Konami. Maybe next year release them at the same time, or release the Wii game next to the PS3 version.

I'm sad that a DS game on Wii has about the same opening day as Fragile. Still 14,000 is not impressive, but combined FFCC:EoT has an opening day of 76,000 which is rather good.

Wow @ TotW2. PSP is doing great lately.

I said above, the first one bombed in the west, it is no longer even made here, Namco USA rarely tries again. (I mean seriously the USA branch can be a bunch of smart business people, but they will never cater to the fans.)

PSP software really sells well in Japan, shame it doesnt anywhere else, but well done.

Echoes of time, DS version did decent so did Wii version which is practically identical to the DS. I really did not expect more from that game.

The FF games were bombs, less so the DS version but looking at those shipment numbers SE and stores overestimated the game too much. It really has to do with FF overkill, DS get's too many FF games for this one to be anything special and a much better looking FF is releasing on the Wii soon. Maybe the new trailer for that Wii FF game made people think FF:OET was rubbish but the FFXIII gameplay trailer must have been a killer. The Japanese forums are getting so giddy after seeing gameplay, I simply love going on there and getting excited myself.

Good TO for the PSP though, front loaded to say the least are TO games but to think the PSP has yet to get a flaghip TO game is simply amazing.

PES 09 for PS2............LULZ Konami made a very bad decison there.

Crystal Chronicles is nowhere near the popularity of the mainline Final FAntasy and Dragon Quest games. I think both versions should be combined, since they are essentially the same game. Why did SE bother releasing it on Wii? It looks bad.
