isnt that pretty poor performance for a DW title? i dont follow the series so i could be wrong.

same comment for diamond/pearl

ps. THANKS!

 

[Amir0x]

down down goes FFXII, into the fire

 

[jj984jj]

GO FFXII!

down down goes FFXII, into the fire

Be quite you...

I hope it has legs...

Don't leave Bebpo.

Animal Crossing and Brain Trainings =

 

[cvxfreak]

ps. THANKS!

It's the Road to Diamond and Pearl, not the real Diamond and Pearl games themselves.

For comparison:

Pokemon Fushigi no Dungeon Blue: 123,556
Pokemon Fushigi no Dungeon Red (GBA): 112,898

[Jonnyram]

Cooking Mama bombed hard.

Nobody except GAF thought it would sell. It's not a major non-game; it's just a niche game like Ore no Ryouri. Oh, and it had zero advertising.

 

[meltpotato]

thanks for the clarification... i dont follow pokemon at all and just thought that was a bit strange.

 

[marvelharvey]

Cooking Mama bombed hard.

The strange thing is, it's sold out in every store that I've been to in Den Den Town and I've only found one second hand copy.

 

[Cheebs]

No way FFXII will catch AC:WW. Bebpo am cry.

That means he won't be crying but leaving GAF. He said he would leave gaf forever if it turned out true.

 

[Raw64life]

Nobody except GAF thought it would sell. It's not a major non-game; it's just a niche game like Ore no Ryouri. Oh, and it had zero advertising.

If neo2046's 2,000 number for Cooking Mama is correct than that's a bomb anyway you slice it.

Looks like Brain-Age and Brain-Age 2 are going to hit 2 million the same exact week (it'll also probably be the week that BA2 surpasses BA).

 

[Jonnyram]

If neo2046's 2,000 number for Cooking Mama is correct than that's a bomb anyway you slice it.

It's a bomb if it didn't make a profit, but it looks like about 2 or 3 people could have made that game in the space of a month. I'd say 2000 is fine Besides, as someone's said already, it's actually got a really high sell through rate - not many were ordered by retailers.

 

[jj984jj]

Nobody except GAF thought it would sell. It's not a major non-game; it's just a niche game like Ore no Ryouri. Oh, and it had zero advertising.

Exactly, it's like I said in some topic a video was posted in, there was no popular brand assoiated with the game and with absolutely no advertising either the title just mega bombed. I stand by what I said, they should've called it Cooking Bobble!

Jesus.....

LEGS.

 

[Cheebs]

I await Bebpo's goodbye topic any day now.

 

[Chris Michael]

There goes Children of Mana.

I guess Contact and Xenosaga I+II bomba'd? Or have they not released yet?

 

[gjb-sensei]

Japan continues to be Nintendowned.

 

[John Harker]

There goes Children of Mana.

I guess Contact and Xenosaga I+II bomba'd? Or have they not released yet?

Oh crap, is Contact out? Thats going to be seriously upsetting if it sold so poorly.

 

[jj984jj]

I guess Contact and Xenosaga I+II bomba'd? Or have they not released yet?

Not out yet.

 

[Cheebs]

People expect Contact to sell well?

 

[PhoenixDark]

There goes Children of Mana.

I guess Contact and Xenosaga I+II bomba'd? Or have they not released yet?

Perhaps it'll do better in the US.

 

[Oblivion]

Haha! AC actually went UP.

So translation wise it is
1: Final Fantasy 12
2: Pokemon Ranger
3: Ace Combat Zero
4: Animal Crossing
5: Brain Training 2
6: Dynasty Warriors Mousou 4: Empires
7: English Training DS
8: Brain Training DS
9: ????
10: Mario Kart DS

Is that correct?

 

[Bebpo]

nm, double post

 

[marvelharvey]

Just for the record, Contact is out today (but it's been in my local shops since Monday). I would love to go and pick it up but I'm guessing it's pretty language heavy.

 

[Bebpo]

FFXII could have legs!

If AC sells 10 copies in the next two weeks and FFXII sells 200k each week, FFXII will win!

 

[Lufiaddict]

Exactly, it's like I said in some topic a video was posted in, there was no popular brand assoiated with the game and with absolutely no advertising either the title just mega bombed. I stand by what I said, they should've called it Cooking Bobble!

Or Cooking Mana.
...
Nah, that wouldn't have worked either.

 

[Amir0x]

GO FFXII!

Be quite you...

I hope it has legs...

me too. it's pretty much a startling indictment of the Japanese videogame industry if it never happens so i would hope for the same

 

[A Link to the Past]

FFXII could have legs!

Two weeks? There's only one week left for March.

 

[cvxfreak]

Two weeks? There's only one week left for March.

Err, Bebpo meant FFXII's first month on the market, i.e. first four weeks or so.

 

[jj984jj]

FFXII could have legs!

If AC sells 10 copies in the next two weeks and FFXII sells 200k each week, FFXII will win!

:lol 10 copies. I believe Nintendo is shipping more DS Lites this week, not less.

 

[Galactic Fork]

There goes Children of Mana.

Depends on the 11 through 30 rankings, COM last week had 17,574, and the number 10 this week had 22000, so there's still a chance it did as good as it did last week, if not better. I'm hoping for number 11, but i'd say if it's anywhere between 11 to 15, it's maintaining it's legs.

 

[jamesinclair]

Is it just me, or have Animal Crossing sales have gone UP 3 weeks in a row?

That means DS Lite sales will also be higher than last week...

 

[marvelharvey]

I vote for Animal Cooking

 

[jj984jj]

I vote for Animal Cooking

Well it would make more sense for them to use a brand they own.

Really I think one with the bob's instead of the mama would have taken off like Tamagotchi did.

 

[PhoenixDark]

FFXII - nice sales period. It's sold 2 million copies, which is impressive no matter what.

Animal Crossing - The newest Japanese phenomena. Holy crap. Nintendo better be prepping Animal Crossing as a Japanese Revolution launch title

Brain Training 1/2/English - I said wow.

Cooking Mama -

Spoiler

Would have sold better if it was named Cooking Little Sister

Mario Kart - Proving that the DS isn't just a "non game" interprise. Very impressive sales.

Children of Mana - anyone have numbers on it's sales this week? Was it in the top 20 at least?

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Why are you all calling for bepbo's resignation? Did he make a foolish bet against animal crossing?

 

[Galactic Fork]

If Cooking Mama is really selling out at the places that have it, maybe it'll prompt the publisher for a bigger release. It could be the first game to reach a million sold after such low first week.

 

[Bebpo]

Why are you all calling for bepbo's resignation? Did he make a foolish bet against animal crossing?

No I made a hopefully bet that Japan would accept the best rpg ever. It's gonna be a close one!

 

[EmCeeGramr]

No I made a hopefully bet that Japan would accept the best rpg ever. It's gonna be a close one!

Two million owners isnt acceptance? Or does it have to do better than animal crossing?

 

[Meier]

Why are you all calling for bepbo's resignation? Did he make a foolish bet against animal crossing?

Said he'd leave for a month if FFXII hadnt outsold AC in its first month. I suggested FFXII would be at about 2.2 million versus 2.45 for AC...

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Said he'd leave for a month if FFXII hadnt outsold AC in its first month. I suggested FFXII would be at about 2.2 million versus 2.45 for AC...

So he's gambling that ff12's first month would somehow outdo animal crossing sales to date? Wat to set yourself up for failure, animal crossing has had massive legs with no sign of slowing down since it came out.

 

[Gawaian]

4. (DS, Nintendo) Oideyo Doubutsu no Mori - 83,000 / 2,271,000

HOLY CRAP!! You've got to be kidding me!!
The sales of AC actually went up.
Oh, and poor Children of Mana...

 

[Jonnyram]

me too. it's pretty much a startling indictment of the Japanese videogame industry if it never happens so i would hope for the same

I know you're going to bitchslap me, but I don't think it's bad at all that Nintendo is improving the state of the game industry. A couple of years down the line, the DS (and maybe the Revolution) will have reached PS1-like status, where everyone has one, and you are no longer considered a freak for talking about games in public. Then FF and co. will experience megalithic sales again.

 

[LanceStern]

- Um don't kick Children of Mana out just yet. THe 10th game sold 22,000. Last week CoM sold 18,000. It could still be selling at a nice pace. We have to wait for 11-20.
- Excellent sales for Animal Crossing. Think about it, it's sold more and has better legs than an ESTABLISHED franchise with double the fanbase.
- Contact won't sell well. Unfortunately.
