This week is interesting, there are a lot of new releases in Japan.

Let's make our predictions.

- Most relevant titles:

My predictions.

(NDS) Bleach DS 4th: Flame Bringer --- First Day 15,000 --- First Week 25,000
(NDS) Blood of Bahamut --- First Day 35,000 --- First Week 55,000
(Wii) EA Sports Active: Personal Trainer Wii 30-Hi Seikatsu Kaizen Program --- First Day 10,000 --- First Week 18,000
(NDS) Iroduzki Tincle no Koi no Balloon Trip --- First Day 20,000 --- First Week 42,000
(PS2) J-League Winning Eleven 2009: Club Championship --- First Day 25,000 --- First Week 45,000
(360) Magna Carta II --- First Day 45,000 --- First Week 65,000
(PS2) SD Gundam G Generation Wars --- First Day 110,000 --- First Week --- 145,000
(Wii) SD Gundam G Generation Wars --- First Day 25,000 --- First Week 40,000
(NDS) Sonic Chronicles: Yami Jigen Kara no Shinryakusha --- First Day 8,000 --- First Week 12,000
(PSP) Tales of VS --- First Day 135,000 --- First Week 175,000

i think gundam will do much closer to the PS2 version depending on how successful it is on PS2

Didn't realize this week was so packed. Everyone taking a breather after Monster Hunter 3?

But you seem a little low on Blood of Bahamut to me...

I think you are a little high on both versions of SD G Generation, and maybe a little high on Tales of VS. Might be low on Bahamut. Pretty much agree with the others.

I was going to make a thread just like this!

Beat me to it :(

But yeah, every console has a good game coming out this week, and if we couple it with all the releases from last month and that Obon is coming next week, this week should do wonders for lifting up the pathetic state gaming had been going through in Japan for the last year or so.

SD Gundam G will obviously sell better on the PS2. Made little to no sense to announce it for the Wii, since all the fanbase is on the PS2. Will only manage to sell a few thousand on the Wii. Maybe it's time to move on already from the PS2? Wii has proved with MH3 that big games do sell big, and will prove tomorrow that getting multiplat PS2 games is not what Wii owners want, since almost everyone owns a PS2 in Japan. Stupid move to be honest.

Oh and 360's last "big" game in a while I believe. There's nothing left in terms of Japanese exclusives for it and Gears of War 2 didn't even manage a boost.

Well, I think Tales of Versus should make the top seller this week. I think it should do over 100k pretty easily.

Gears of War sold ~48k on its first week
I think Magna Carta 2 will sell better
75-85k first week

seems like all of your predictions (apart from SD Gundam PSP) were a bit high

Yeah, I overestimated a lot Sonic RPG and EA Sports Active. I thought Sonic would sell more since it is an rpg and EA Sports Active since Wii Fit is an extraordinary success.

I also was too high on Tales of Versus and Magna Carta II.

About Blood of Bahamut my prediction was a bit high but not too far away, I had a bad feeling about it, no advertising, no hype on the net. I barely even know this game and I'm a big fan of JRPG's.
