Good numbers for SFIV. It doesn't seem, however, that the initial shipments, as per Sinobi, were sold out.

The empire is back FTW!!! I'm pretty disapointed by FF EoT sales, that's really poor for a FF game on the NDS!!!

Anyone know the hardware numbers?

Not bad Sony *golf clap*, now can you keep it up for more than a couple of weeks?

Yes they are..quite a bit.

Those japanese third parties that are starting to focus on the Wii should be getting worried right now...

Yeah it's not easy to be a Japanese 3rd party developer right now. I think they have to release some games on the Wii first before there will be good sales on the system. That said Taiko Drum Master is selling really well currently. But personally I never had high hopes for Fragile. It is just too niche probably.

Well third parties surely have a hard time on PS3 and Xbox360 in Japan as well but he's right: For the big userbase the Wii really doesn't sell a lot of third party software. And I doubt Monster Hunter 3 is going to turn the tide around.

The console market in Japan really is in a bad shape currently. Microsoft was almost non-existent there just a year ago or so, Sony has a high-end product on the market that dramatically underperformed compared to what was promised and Nintendo overestimated Wii demand as well. Add a big reccession to that ( Japan's economy is doing terribly bad) and you get the deal.

That was my weirdest double post ever

Not really.

I think Japanese title focused on the Japanese market have yet to demonstrate they will ship more units on the Wii than they would on the PS3( not that they ship a lot on the PS3, it's just that some think that shifting to the Wii for Japanese niche title will be more successfull and there isn't really a lot of data to back it up).
