WKC had a bad debut, seems like the extras and bonus items weren't enought to bump sales. Valhalla Knights as usual I guess the last game only sold 40k in the PSP

Shin Megami Tensei aside, everything did pretty bad

All bombs, save for SMT. No matter what the shipments were, no game is recouping investments with those sales.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

That's some really bad sellthrough ratios.
But I'm glad SMT is selling well.

Also WKC should be able to get another 10-20k or maybe even more if sales pick up after FFXIII

Well when you can buy the original for dirt cheap why would you want to pay full price for just a few extras?

lol, WTF? WKC Ex is just WKC budget re-release with the free updates already included on the disc, it's not like it's a new game or anything.  3,400 is fine first day for a budget re-release.

lol, indeed! Nobody expected this to sell way more than that. Hell, even Sony didn't, looking at the first shipment of like 15.000 units.

Shin Megami Tensei has a very nice debut! Should hit 100k or more for the week.

The rest is horrible but I guess that was to be expected. None of those were big releases.
