9/10!!

Btw, who thought 3D Land would have been over Kart 7 for all these weeks?!

 

[test_account]

The 3DS version has no confirmed release date yet. It'll most likely be released on the same day, but since the releases of the PSP and Vita versions were confirmed by Sony instead of Level-5 there is no official release date for the 3DS game yet.

Makes sense. Thanks

[Nibel]

Fucking ORC, this can't be true! :lol

 

[Chris1964]

FE had big stock problems or ORC had a good second week.

 

[mclem]

FE had big stock problems or ORC had a good second week.

I'm just pleased it's still running near (ahead of, even!) the Trinity.

 

[donny2112]

09./21. [WII] Wii Sports Resort # <SPT> (Nintendo) {2009.06.25} (¥4.800)

Since this is a proxy for Wii sales, will be interesting to see how high it went for Golden Week.

Slow week? Slow week.

Actually, probably the opposite, since it's a holiday week.

 

[Chris1964]

Since this is a proxy for Wii sales, will be interesting to see how high it went for Golden Week.

Wii Sports and Wii Party are bundled.

 

[stilgar]

I realized that right after posting ;_;
Sales-age is really not my thing. Too much parameters, can't compute all the datas.

 

[DrWong]

Wii Sports and Wii Party are bundled.

Does Famitsu also track bundled games?

Probably.

 

[frankie_baby]

Then, Wii sales > Vita sales this week?

Quite likely but then again I thought that last week

 

[Kenka]

Fucking ORC, this can't be true! :lol

Very suitable pic.

 

[MasterSheen]

6/10 3DS games.
8/10 Nintendo first party games.
9/10 Games on Nintendo platforms.

Nintendomination on Golden Week.

 

[BassForever]

Fire Emblem is exceeding everyone's expectations it looks like, if Nintendo doesn't announce an English localization and push the game here as much as they did in Japan they're crazy.

And the two non Nintendo games are both from Capcom :lol

 

[BassForever]

Isn't Mario & Sonic at the Games series made by Sega?

 

[donny2112]

Mpl90,

If Chris1964 is offline at 4gamer update time, as planned, I'll make the thread, okay?

Just don't want to clobber each other.

 

[Mpl90]

Isn't Mario & Sonic at the Games series made by Sega?

In Japan, it's published by Nintendo.

 

[michaelius]

6/10 3DS games.

And then people wonder why 3rd party games don't sell on Nintendo machines

 

[frankie_baby]

Isn't Mario & Sonic at the Games series made by Sega?

Published by Nintendo in Japan

 

[BassForever]

Gotcha so that shows publisher not developer thanks for the clarification

 

[Mpl90]

Mpl90,

If Chris1964 is offline at 4gamer update time, as planned, I'll make the thread, okay?

Just don't want to clobber each other.

No, mothafucka, you won't steal my thunder, 'cause it's my chance to shine and you can't do nothing to stop me. NOTHING, GOT IT?!?!?

Spoiler

Okay, do your best!

 

[Kenka]

And then people wonder why 3rd party games don't sell on Nintendo machines

Well, I don't know. You're such a tease, give us the answer.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

Isn't Mario & Sonic at the Games series made by Sega?

Yes, but Nintendo publishes and promotes it in Japan. Sega handles it elsewhere.

 

[Mpl90]

And then people wonder why 3rd party games don't sell on Nintendo machines

...We're still with this thing, even with 3DS? The hell?

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

And then people wonder why 3rd party games don't sell on Nintendo machines

Going by that top 10, I'm more curious why 3rd party games don't sell on any machines.

 

[BassForever]

Going by that top 10, I'm more curious why 3rd party games don't sell on any machines.

3rd party developers should just plot to destroy Nintendo so their games can do well

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Nintendo got that Golden Week on lockdown.

 

[BurntPork]

ORCoD...

Ugh, I really fear for the future of the Resident Evil franchise.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

3rd party developers should just plot to destroy Nintendo so their games can do well

Isn't that what they've been trying to do since 1996? Doesn't seem to be working...

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

ORCoD...

Ugh, I really fear for the future of the Resident Evil franchise.

As long as the console games keep selling millions, they'll keep making more.

 

[Sadist]

Haha, wow at that list.

 

[slaughterking]

So is anyone making the thread?

3DS 91,868
PS3 23,478
PSP 20,033
Wii 15,789
Vita 10,583
PS2 1,611
Xbox 360 1,420
DSi LL 1,097
DSi 814

 

[enishi]

MP9 144k
ORC 52k
FE 42k

 

[RurouniZel]

Isn't that what they've been trying to do since 1996? Doesn't seem to be working...

That's what I was thinking. While neither scenario is plausible, I think the opposite would be more likely to happen.

 

[Mpl90]

3DS 91,868

WOW at Wii.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

3DS 91,868
Wii 15,789
Vita 10,583

Oh.

 

[Salvadora]

That Vita number is woeful.

 

[Sadist]

Wait Vita had a drop in Golden Week?

I expected somewhat 15k for GW...

 

[Bruno MB]

Mario Party 9 didn't disappoint me.
