What the...

Someone should explain to me which numbers am I supposed to believe in a 2ch thread. What a mess of numbers....

 

[Shiggy]

Never. FF games usually blow their wad in their first week.

60k next week, and then the game will feature a half-life of one week until it's off store shelves.

But this FF was undershipped and was released on the DS.

The ones that make Sony look bad.

Only 163k for DS Lite?
I dont believe these numbers.

 

[AniHawk]

Right. And on the DS, traditional games don't sell as well. Ever notice how there's no Children of Mana 2?

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Me neither. But there were like 4-5 lists of numbers and no one seem reliable so...I NEED A FAQ :lol

 

[MasterMFauli]

Was there ever a Superman 64-2 ?

 

[AniHawk]

I have the real set of numbers if you'd like to see them.

 

[AniHawk]

Was there ever a Superman 64-2 ?

The rights changed companies and they wouldn't have had time to make another game anyway, the rate the N64 was declining.

 

[Shiggy]

Right. And on the DS, traditional games don't sell as well. Ever notice how there's no Children of Mana 2?

You heard of a game called New Super Mario Bros.?

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

More numbers...looks like this week Top10 games are from the same console...

 

[AniHawk]

You heard of a game called New Super Mario Bros.?

Well obviously Nintendo games are going to sell on Nintendo systems. They're about the only things that do.

 

[Scalemail Ted]

Did they have shipments of DSLs on both Wednesday and Saturday?

 

[Michirou_53]

What the...

Believe what Kuma says.

 

[Scalemail Ted]

Believe what Kuma says.

What did Kuma say?

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Believe what Kuma says.

So I have to believe what an ascii bear says....makes sense...

Then, it really seems to be a specific-platform Top10 instead of Top10 between every platform.

Wow, has that ever happened before?

If true... nope.

 

[DefectiveReject]

HA HA HA
DS pimped Japan.
Iwata has sent KK a bunch of White Lilly's

 

[lancubap]

unconfirmed



FF3 - 503051 / 91%
NEW SMB - 65556
Rune Factory New Harvest Moon - 42210 / 65%

91% is really really high for the first week of sales...And I think that it is the highest % ever for a Final Fantasy.
New Super Mario Bros. dropped probably because all attention is for FFIII, or perhaps because it is sold out......
And finally, great start for Rune Factory; I hope it will sell in the long term too.

 

[AniHawk]

Sony has to be wondering just what the **** is happening in Japan right about now. The market isn't even theirs anymore.

I still don't believe that the Nintendo DS is a so smashing success in Japan. In Europe seems that doesn't exist !!!
How different is Easter in comparison to the West.....

The majority of the titles up there are still nongames. 6-4.
