Everything will probably be down except for Wii.

i agree with the source (excluding PS3)

Final Fantasy 13 is out in a few weeks and i think the Hardware is going to stagnate for a week then go up. Or start rising straight away



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

[WII] Momotarou Dentetsu 2010 - 23k

One of the few recent Wii third party games that doesn't bomb. The previous Momotarou on Wii sold 8k in its first week, LTD 44k.

Taiko is probably the type of the game that can hold well if NSMB Wii takes off as a multiplayer game. If its advertised/loved primarily as a single player game, then there is not chance of ever coming close to that initial shipment for Taiko. It should climb to at least 125,000 regardless given the fanbase of the original title.

No sell-through for new releases?



Are those Mushihimesama sales SE only or do they include the LE?



Everything is bombing in Japan. I doubt the VG development will be profitable in the next years. Not in consoles at least. It's game over.

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.

Fullfilled Prophecies

Naruto: expected

Momotarou: decent, improvement from first version which is a rarity for wii games these days

Joysound: ouch, but it could have been a sucky first game, and japanese know how to punish developers

Puyo puyo: i expected abt 5-10k, but expectations were low, even PSP version bombed

Layton: a decrease, well they aredoing a guitar hero with this franchise, needs a year's rest


All in all i expect hardware to decrease or remain flat everywhere except an increase for the wii(i expect 35-40k for Wii this week in anticipation for next week)

360 game: decent

everything else low
