I don't understand why PSP hardware went up? PSP GO sold only 400 units more than the first day? WTF?

Expected increase for PS3 hardware, and slight increase in wii hardware was unexpected.

No, those sales are its first day.

Looks like with Uncharted 2 we finally have a western game that can do decent numbers in Japan ( it will cross 100k and that's quite good for a western game).



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

I think it is likely that it will cross 100k

Wow, Bayonetta an Tekken 6 have done very well and are surpassing expectations. Very good.

Super Robot Taisen Neo recovers a little bit after a bad first day, but those sales are still bad.

Tekken 6 undersold Tekken 5 1st week, even combining both versions (216k T5, 146k T6).  Not exactly great for the series, but at least it didn't bomb as bad as VF has this gen.  Bayonetta however did better than I think anyone expected or hoped for (204k).  It sold roughly 80% as much as DMC4 1st week (252k), which a nice turnaround for Platinum after Infinite Space's supply issues.

It should be mentioned too that SRT Neo is a kid focused 3D spinoff, and not part of the "main" SRT series.  It didn't do great, but it sold comparably to the last similar game (SRT GC, 36k 1st week) and well above it's enhanced port (SRT XO, 6k).

S&P2 numbers are disappointing given the original did 22k 1st week on N64. :/

Well done 360 with Bayonetta sales. But it seems PS3 HW benefitted more (along with Tekken 6): 54% boost for PS3, 16% boost for 360. A bit odd that.

I think if PSPGo can consistently sell at about 50% of PSP3000 then the PSPGo will carve out an acceptable niche for a DDL only machine. And pave the way nicely for the DDL only XBox 720 (apparently).

PSPGO has only day 1 sales, I suspect like 50k for PSP GO next week, or more..

and PS3 only had a 6k boost, it sold 31k last week

It's great for UC2.  For bragging rights, it's better than Gears, Gears 2 or Halo 3. :D

I'm guessing more like half that... 28k for even one day isn't great considering the 1st shipment (150k).  If this was a game, it'd be chucked in the bargain bins soon...
