DS Lite pretty much fully in stock, PSP software and hardware sales fall. Very expected.

Anyway, is MHPortable @ 600k yet?

I was going to post this just to provoke a reaction.

Wonder what it'll do for the Revolution. Unlike Pokemon, it'll get an actual, full home console version. Should be interesting.

A large stock of PSP games stopped coming out the same time the PSP and MPH fell in sales.

Tamagotchi is still in the top 30. Dang. Anyone have LTD on the game?

Also, does anyone have exact numbers on how much Mana sold? I see it's at no17.

DS is doing well because DS games are cheap and it's very popular.
The non-gamers are still not buying many games because of the pooor economy.

Apparently you are not around anymore - the economy in Japan - including consumer confidence is going very very well.

(Check Nikkei index...if not!)

At least someone can identify with me. I'm not directing this at anyone in particular, but for FFXII more than any other game, it's like the fanboy masks are in full gear.
Click to expand...

Probably because we've heard it before with other recent FF titles, the wave comes, the sales come, they get great scores and then a lot of gamers realize how hollow the series is.

I think the Revolution is going to be just fine in Japan based on these sales threads.

Dude, I don't support "games" like Animal Crossing, Nintendogs, etc., but you can't expect serious gamers to rally behind an RPG. RPGs are like video games Jr. -- they take little to no skill and just ask for your time. I've seen people suck at F-Zero, at Super Mario Bros., at Super Monkey Ball, at Ikaruga, at Tekken, at Soulcalibur... but I've never seen anyone suck at an RPG. Have you? Oh, I've seen people lose patience, but RPGs are not a gamer's genre.

Anyone have the second week drop offs for the other FF games handy?

I'd like to see how they compare.

What was DQ8's 2nd week like?

This is one game, let's see how the next couple of AC games preform.
I can't believe people can stand playing this game, let alone buy it. But I suppose this is a good game, just not my taste. But nintendo is perfectly capable of screwing up the next edition.

those games does not require skills at all.... just patience and thinking you just prove his point dude. and vagrant story and ogre battle are not traditional rpgs, one is an action rpg and the other a strategy rpg...

id say "handhelds are far more relevant than consoles in Japan at this time" is a much more accurate analysis.

Im not seeing anything here to suggest that rpgs are any more or less non-games than the braintrainings. Really shallow mechanics that can be exploited by grinding attached to mediocre stories dont make strong "games".

Strategy games are a different beast though

According to GameFAQs, IE Institute developed and published it. Never heard of them, but it seems they have another DS game coming out today, and 2 more later in the year.

Thinking is a skill. But unfortunatly, FFX doesn't requiere much thinking. Maybe FFXII is better in this regard =).

With the legs BT2 has, it will be this year #1 seller. Already cruising to near 2 million (by summer) with legs that stretch from San francisco to the Big Apple. FF XII will just have to settle for second.

You forgot Animal Crossing ;)

FFXII will be 3rd.

But then.... New Super Mario Bros could also do wonders.

I am not interested in the brain training games, but Ill be damned of a bunch of elitist rpg fans (you know who you all are) are going to bitch about how nintendo is destroying gaming when they themselves have been flocking to a mediocre genre that ultimately has taken us away from the arcadey twitch based games that truly define the medium

You talk about elitist fans, then you decide that only twitch based games define video games. There's an expression that describes this... I think it involves a pot and a kettle.

oh calm down you two.
let's just agree that brain training and final fantasy both suck.
the revolution is way underpowered and the ps3 will never be released.

now get back to discussing things relevant to this thread.. like how many games were purchased between march 20 and 26 by japanese people.
