Winning Eleven 2010 PS3　142000　53%
Nice, over 200k first week. Also with some bundles, PS3 will be probably at 40k+.

Sadly, 3D Dot Game Heroes　7700　38% bombed. I expected it to sell 100k LTD in Japan. Now it will be hard to do that, unless it will have good legs.

Infamous　10000　46%
Well, compared to uncharted 2 not so great.

Mario Sonic　7800　10%
Wow, real bomba. I expected it to sell atleast 300k and sell some Wii. But so far, after Super Robot Taisen Neo it looks like not many games can move Wii HW.
Next week is Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers.

... You expected Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games to sell 300k in Japan ... First day? Delusional much?

3D DOT AND MARIO BOMBED VERY HARD
WINNING ELEVEN 2010 IS A SYSTEM SELLER 40k PS3s the week ending november 8

@Majin-Tenshinhan,
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii) Japan LTD sales are at 620k. And that is a lot for Japan.
Also, first day sales are usualy 2/3 of first week. But with current first day sales, it will have hard time to reach even 300k LTD.
Or maybe the game is not just frontloaded. But still, when you get 10% of shipments for a first day, this really means that somenthing is wrong.

The game is as far from frontloaded as you could possibly get.

And now it`s far from selling 300k LTD, as it probably will sell almost 5 times less first week, than it`s predecessor.

What a nice score for pes2010.

The ps3 over 50k this week. 300k worldwide in sight.

LOL more Nintendo flops, they just keep coming because even niche 360 games are selling better! OH wait, 360s not niche, its mainstream, the Wii is niche!

oh i was kinda off doing it all on memory but i finally found the numbers, mario and sonic sold 13k first day and 66k first week.

The red bolded parts don't agree with each other.

However, I do agree that 10% of shipment for first day doesn't show a very strong sign. It reminds me of Deca Sporta 2 although Deca Sporta 2 did go on and sell about 9 times it first week. (8.8K first week, 80k lifetime). 150K-200K would likely be a realistic goal for M&S at OWG. I do think that it would have a better shot at 300K than 3D Dot Heroes at 100K.

 

 



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.
