BlazBlue on 360 held up well.

Bionic Commando needs a hip replacement.

20K for Wii hardware? If true, that is pretty poor.

I´m not surprised that Wii hardware didn´t boost higher than this. I would have thought somewhat higher like 25-30 k but I knew everybody would be way to high in their predictions. The BIG boost will come with Monster Hunter 3 and the new color.

That said I think that Wii Sports Resort will give Wii a longtime small and steady boost instead of a large one firstweek.



Go Atelier, even if this game must be very front loaded, i hope it reach 100k LTD in Japan.

Blazblue ps3 is a little disappointing regardless to the 360 version.



well it seems japanese ps3 owners dont really like anime fighting games that much.. here's a comparison

Battle Fantasia first week sales (2008 May)
PS3: 3100
360: 2300

BlazBlue first week sales (2009 June)
PS3: 36000
360: 23000

But Japanese PS3 owners like non-anime fighting more..
Soul Calibur 4
PS3: 74000
360: 35000

SF4 first week sales (2009 Feb)
PS3: 85000
360: 36000



Strange... however I hope PS3 manages to hit 10k

Great sales for Atelier Rorona.

PS3 has shown that it is the best choice for the jrpg developers. Niche games like Atelier, Disgea 3, Demon's Souls and Valkyria Chronicles have sold very well and of course big budget games will also sell very well for example White Knight Chronicles and soon Tales of Vesperia and Final Fantasy XIII.

When I think about Square Enix's strategy ...

You could say the 360 is more popular with nerds. That's not trolling by the way - the system is marketed more at the otaku / niche crowd.

@ Bruno Muñoz B

you should watch the new Goemon movie :)



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
