Inazuma has good legs and is going to be a million seller (even more than the other Level5 game Layton 4), which is a big surprise. The first one sold 350k I think.
Congrats to Level5. Please translate this game to us.

Congratulations, you will be a happy panda now:

Inazuma Eleven game and anime heading to Europe, intentions of bringing Atamania series out as well

- Valkyria Chronicles (Sega) --- 141,589 + 81,625 = 223,214

2009 Xbox360 Platinum Collection Top 10

01. Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation - 86,534 (128,414)
02. Beautiful Katamari - 74,166 (115,658)

Can you clarify those Ace Combat and Beautiful Katamari numbers? AC6 sold 100k before being bundled, so what does the 86k and 128k signify?

Edit: NVM, thats just how much it sold in 09, the bundle was started in 08 afterall.

if zelda did the usual 300-400k opening in japan, then NSMB numbers are definitely very impressive. FF13 numbers are definitely above 150k, and i gess its at about 200-250k. Healthy numbers. Taiko probably did around 70k which is impressive, and yeah its noo longer a failure and sure to get to the 400-500k level which is what taiko games usually get.

Now i really want to know abt hardware and the rest of software

I think it would be an awesome accomplishment for Taiko 2 to hit 300K in Japan after such a bad start (about half of the first one). 400-500K would be aiming really high.

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.

I'm pretty sure that all of these sales are for the "best hits/platinum collection" sales only. In other words the bargain price sales. AC6 and Beatiful Katamari were released as platinum collection versions in Nov. 08 which is why they have those sales in parentheses. (Those should also include the bundle pack-in sales as well, I'm guessing)
