FIFA 10 Wii must have bombed even worse than all of the other versions if it isn't there. There were 3 games released this week for the Wii, 2 looked like cheap shovelware and the other was FIFA 10. This should be the last week of the year withouth decent releases for the Wii, so it will be going down once again.

tag - "I wouldn't trust gamespot, even if it was a live comparison."

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.

The Forza 3 limited edition outsold the standard? That's a bit odd isn't it?



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

^Not really, most Xbox owner in Japan are 'hardcore' enough to go the extra mile. Its a niche console with a pretty dedicated following over there.

What were the predictions for first week Forza 3 sales in Japan?
I wonder, how Forza 3 will sell in rest world.

FiFa10 did ok on PS3, considering, that PES 2010 is more popular in Japan.

Dunno, but the number for Forza (both version) is still lower than I expected... I'd had thought around 25k at least all up....
