oh 80% for Demon Souls...


I'm not expecting big on that game though, but that's really good for 1st day



 

Holy shit at Demon Souls, was really not expecting those sales. Really good sell through, From Software might just have to bring in a second batch for stores. :O

Really though, I do wonder how much it costs From Software to make a HD game as they keep making games after rubbish sales.



 

That's a pretty good sell through for Demon's Souls.



And another Wii game flops.

Seriously, while 3rd parties do well in the US and Europe, it seems even the PS3 is doing better than the Wii on the 3rd party front.

I think even Iwata mentioned Wii situation isn't rosy in Japan.



3rd party in Japan is only going to get better and better in the next few weeks for the PS3 with SF4, RE5 and Yakuza 3.



 

Just like Fragile, i don't care how big % is, those numbers are low. If RPG can't sell 100k in Japan than what the point? And don't give me that crap that it looks like WRPG. That is not excuse.

Why such a low shipment on Demon's Souls? yeesh!



Well, lets be fair here. Demon Soul is a pretty big budget game, aimed squarely at the Japanese market. Sales look pretty promising - although its bound to be top-heavy.

Next week we'll see Mario & Luigi 3 RPG - that should have some decent sales.

I still Ninty just need some bundles to excite the Japanese Wii market. Not bundling WiiSports with it might have ended up being a big mistake. Time to start bundling it - for free - with every Wii sold.
