Things seem to have finally slowed down this week... Brain Training DS and Yawaraka Atama Juku both see a big drop.

Do people ever stop buying Super Mario Bros?

Surprising Tamagotchi is still up there!

Did Sega ever release Brain training psp in Japan? Was it good? How did it compare to the ds version?

Winning Eleven.....

Ya Rly

That was supposed to be the saving grace for PSP in Japan.

What is left for this year in Japan as far as PSP goes?

Come on, there has to be SOME big game hitting PSP in the next few months, right? The Rockman remakes should do ok.

I guess Super Mario 64 DS has become part of the 20th Mario madness. Surprised it wasn't the week of the micro launch.

IIRC the first one on GC sold more than 100K copies in Japan. Anything after that was just bomba though.

I'll take that bet and predict they don't do well at all (ie 200k before the end of the year)

I don't think any Rockman games (with the huge exception of the EXE series) break 100K in Japan anymore. Need to double check.

200K? Even the giant WE series is just crawling its way through to that mark. You have most likely overestimated the Rockman series here...

The recent "milking of Rockman" thread shows 24 million games sold with 100 Rockman titles, that's only an average of 24,000 copies per title. That average is influenced by the EXE series as well, so if you exclude EXE, the average is even lower.

Correction: 24 million / 100 = 240,000

I went to WAGs boutique and all I got was a sniff
The WE9 numbers are quite shocking considering how well WE usually does in Japan. I wonder if the same thing is going to happen in Europe. WE is probably the most anticipated title in the UK and a lot of european countries along with Fifa, so technically it should sell well, but if WE didnt do as well as it should in japan, then maybe the same thing will happen in EU as well

And even i am moderately surprised
also note that we have a fairly decent gundam game on the PSP, and i've not seen that make a splash on the charts either

Nope. Remember Europe is Sonyland.

Trends for PSP in Japan cannot be compared to other areas of the world. PSP is turning into a situation somewhat similar to the SEGA Master Systems (IIRC), where it sold like crap in Japan compare to SNES, but in the US it sold very well.

How's the Gundam game by the way? Impressions? Do we have any screenshots online? I have seen zero screenshots for the game for some reason.

You're thinking Mega Drive/Genesis, not Master System. And yeah, it could very well work out that way. I'd put N64 in a similar category as well.

Mastersystem was king in Europe and bigger than NES for a long time (in UK a really long time)
megadrive was king in US and bigger than snes for a long time.

MsterSystem bigger in Europe for a long time?

I really doubt it. Do you have figures or something or are you only relating that UK = Europe?

I just find it odd because atleast here in Sweden the NES dominated the Master System as long as I remember.

Well, the vast majority of Master System games (ports, mostly) released after the flood of first party titles were from British developers, and only ever released in PAL territories.
