September 13-19 numbers for Famitsu are out and...

#10 [PSP] Monster Hunter Portable 2 G (The Best! Reprint) - 8,762 (428,351)

Bringing MHP2G total to 3,993,359 or 6,641 units short of hitting 4m. So it probably did already with September 20-26 data but we won't have Famitsu data for that week until next week. Boo, they should have mentioned it, first 4m seller ever on a system not Nintendo, second 4m seller for 3rd parties after DQIX DS (DQVII PS didn't hit 4m by Famitsu tracking).

Apparently Monster Hunter clone demos are quite popular. Lord of Arcana is now over 1,000,000 downloads: http://www.siliconera.com/2010/09/30...ion-downloads/

Somehow I doubt the conversion rate will be as good as God Eater's however.

Count me on the group that thinks this will do like Ace Combat X2 rather than God Eater.

Monster Hunter 3rd was the biggest reason why I wanted a 3DS release atleast in Japan this year. Because I really wanted to see how or if the releases would affect each other, would have been a lot more interesting.

 

[Jackano]

18. / 20. [WII] Mario Kart Wii (Nintendo) - 6.191 / 2.937.740 (+16%)
20. / 21. [WII] New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Nintendo) - 5.891 / 3.996.368

Those two will get interesting milestones earlier next year and next week!

Well, it's that time of year when there are interesting shop anecdotes to discuss.

I went to preorder Super Mario Collection today at Yodobashi and saw that they had restocked Pokemon BW. I think about 15 copies were sold as I waited in line. Stock should be okay for the weekend, but the games are going fast. Only one person bought a DSi LL with the game.

I also reserved the super-limited DSi Mario edition at 7-11 across the street too.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

About next week releases, are we predicting? KH DS is probably the only >100k but there's a few other releases that could do respectable numbers (Class of Heroes PS3/PSP, Macross PS3, Red Dead Redemption PS3/360).

 

[cvxfreak]

Biohazard 5 Alternative Edition is climbing in preparation for Move.

 

[d+pad]

I also reserved the super-limited DSi Mario edition at 7-11 across the street too.

Jealous!

Can I whine here that NOA never brings these things to the US?

 

[Chris1964]

Media Create does this crazy comparison after second week sales.

Last year HG/SS went from 1,443 million first week to 3,539 million YTD.

Following the same pattern B/W would go from 2,558 million first week to 6 million YTD.

To 7M and beyond!

Macross Frontier Hybrid Pack will be interesting, seeing how it's being marketed more as a movie than a game.

It's been some time I last did these comparisons.

So SMG2 through September 26:

Famitsu:      793,623
Media-Create: 834,955
Dengeki:      848,989

I wonder they'll even out during the holidays.

 

[FINALFANTASYDOG]

Something I've been wanting to bring up,


X-box 360 obviously isn't completely dead but it's obviously on a downward spiral.

I'm still gathering the data on this, but we are seeing pretty much consistently platform exclusive semi-big game(alan wake, Splinter cell, Boardlands, Crackdown 2) selling in the 10k-20k range. Series now seem to be selling less with each installment.

I'm highly betting Fable 3 is going to undersell Fable 2.

Have the users move to ps3? What causes such a decline in sales in a still alive and fully stocked this generation system?

Is this any viable way too try and gather this data to compare it to other systems?



___

Azylan Sales expectations:

K-On! After School Live!! - 150k 60% sell-through
Eiyuu Densetsu: Zero no - 60% sell-through 80-100k
Dead Rising 2 60-70% sell through. 120-150k(X-box 360 30-40% of that)
Okamiden 50% sell-through 70-90K

[thestopsign]

Got a little backed up there donny

 

[AranhaHunter]

Something I've been wanting to bring up,


X-box 360 obviously isn't completely dead but it's obviously on a downward spiral.

I'm still gathering the data on this, but we are seeing pretty much consistently platform exclusive semi-big game(alan wake, Splinter cell, Boardlands, Crackdown 2) selling in the 10k-20k range. Series now seem to be selling less with each installment.

I'm highly betting Fable 3 is going to undersell Fable 2.

Have the users move to ps3? What causes such a decline in sales in a still alive and fully stocked this generation system?

Is this any viable way too try and gather this data to compare it to other systems?

My guess is the slim and price drop have made the PS3 a much more attractive buy and, as such, people have moved on to PS3. It also doesn't help MS when the exclusive JRPGs and Japanese like games are all coming out on the competition. The only major 3rd party game that the 360 has that still hasn't come out on PS3 is Monster Hunter, everything else has sailed ship AFAIK. There are still some niche games that are exclusive to the 360, and some that are exclusive to Kinect, but overall, most people have moved on to the PS3 it seems.

 

[Chris1964]

Azylan Sales expectations:

K-On! After School Live!! - 15k 60% sell-through
Eiyuu Densetsu: Zero no - 60% sell-through 8-10k
Dead Rising 2 60-70% sell through. 12-15k(X-box 360 30-40% of that)
Okamiden 50% sell-through 7-9K

These are some high expectations (adding the missing zero). It looks like a good week for new releases. I suppose Dragon Ball didn't do worth-mentioning numbers.

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

If Zero no Kiseki does twice the best start ever for a Falcom title on PSP (and from what I posted in the last thread, much more than Sora no Kiseki on PC) I'm throwing a freaking party.

But I'm okay with just biggest ever at say 60k...twice best ever at 100k is nuts.

 

[donny2112]

Got a little backed up there donny

Finally caught up after two months.

Some observations/questions:

* NSMB DS is going to hit 6m. I didn't think it would happen, since it would've had to show no decrease for so long since 5.5m. It not only saw no decrease, but it went up with the Wii game's release. The only question now is if it can surpass NES Super Mario Bros. at 6.3m.

* The Wii was choked to death/near-death by third-parties for sales. That said, would Basara 3's Wii sales be considered replacement sales for eventual PS3 sales or additive to the series? If it's additive, maybe it can start something, if Nintendo chooses to keep the Wii around for a few more years

Spoiler

I hope not

. *shrugs*

* Mario Kart Wii is going to hit 3m. NSMB Wii is going to hit 4m. Ridiculous results considering the dearth of software on the system. Usually when you don't have the breadth of software, you tend to not have large sales standouts, either. Obviously, it's due to Nintendo, but still pretty crazy/impressive.

 

[AniHawk]

The only question now is if it can surpass NES Super Mario Bros. at 6.3m.

6.81m

 

[donny2112]

6.81m

Ah. I'd say "no way," but then I said that about 6m, too. :lol

 

[MikeE21286]

Pokemons 2nd week :lol

my thoughts exactly....wow! :lol

Great googly moogly!

Great jiggery pokery!

 

[cvxfreak]

The race is on!

NSMB vs Pokemon BW to 6 Million

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

I doubt NSMB can surpass the original SMB, but it should manage to pass Pokemon Gold/Silver at the very least.

[Jackano]

Interesting post, thanks Chris.
In fact it seems Nintendo release 2 games for its consoles launch, and 4 games for its handhelds.

 

[duckroll]

I wonder how the tracking for Macross Frontier will work. If I'm not wrong, Enterbrain and Media Create only track game stores, correct? How will they accurately track a release which is both a game and a video release then?

According to retailer blogs, it's being distributed through game distribution networks, not video ones.

 

[duckroll]

According to retailer blogs, it's being distributed through game distribution networks, not video ones.

So you're saying there will be no blu-ray release of the movie distributed in any regular video and anime retailer which does not also sell games? Isn't that rather unusual considering how Macross Frontier is one of the better selling anime franchises out there?

I'm not saying it, just quoting what's out there. The blogs telling people to be careful that it's not movie distribution and thinking it will drive new customers to the store.

後、マクロスF、映像メインなんでゲーム屋でどれだけ売れるのかちょっと予測出来ない面もありますが一般BD流通には出回らない商品らしいので、その辺りのお客様がゲーム屋に足を運んでくれるといいな

パッケージデザインが映像ブルーレイソフトに
なっているのを見て分かる通り、あくまで映像メインでゲームはおまけみたいですね。
でも、流通ルートはゲーム系なのでその辺りは注意が必要です。

Yeah I know, I'm just saying it's really weird if they're doing that. It even has the packaging of a normal movie blu-ray.

Macross Frontier Hybrid Pack will be interesting, seeing how it's being marketed more as a movie than a game.

The TV show hovered at around 50k sales, evenly split between DVD/BD. Most of that fanbase probably bought the earlier games, as well. It'd make more sense trying to pump movie sales to gamers instead of game sales to animu nerds.

I wonder how the tracking for Macross Frontier will work. If I'm not wrong, Enterbrain and Media Create only track game stores, correct? How will they accurately track a release which is both a game and a video release then?

I'm looking at it from the other direction--if I normally follow movie sales, is it safer to jump ship to Famitsu or Enterbrain rather than relying on Oricon? :lol

That's what I was thinking. There's nothing on the outside packaging to suggest that it's a PS3 game.

Didn't know WonderSwan was that cheap and didn't remember GBA going that cheap either.

Makes 3DS looks bad to be honest, now I totally expect Sony to do a 25k/30k core/value SKUs or straight 30k yens.

Nintendo DualScreen (02/12/04)

DS is actually "Developers System", not "Dual Screen".

Price for 3DS is very high but I don't it will play big role, at least for the first year.

Playstation 2 launced at ¥39.800 and it had its first price cut after 15 months. First year of PS2 was its best selling year. Hype could drive 3DS sales for at least a year. After that I don't know but I'm sure Nintendo can afford to drop the price when sales slow down since if Iwata said the truth high price is not a matter of high cost but more a matter of high demand.

Both names are acceptable from Nintendo.

To our developers, it stands for "Developers' System," since we believe it gives game creators brand new tools which will lead to more innovative games for the world's players.

It can also stand for "Dual Screen."

I'm sure it won't either, in the end its Nintendo software pushing their hardware. A 6-month-slack of a major hit from them hurts their systems more than its pricepoint, no pricedrops, shortages or whatever.

I actually think 3DS price hurts PSP2 more than itself to be honest lol
