PSP - 49.352

How many weeks in a row is it now that the PSP has been climbing?

 

[jj984jj]

Based on past trends, the regular DS should see a boost next week.

Not if this is true:

- Nintendo has confirmed that the old model of Nintendo DS is no longer in production, the company will only produce the Nintendo DS Lite model in future.

I'm betting this week. Does it have anything going for it this week in Japan?

And no problem at all. Quite easy for me to deliver it, I started a small database for it (european too ) some time ago I love charts . Ask if you need anything, I might have it right away

 

[Moor-Angol]

According to the shops I've checked, it's less than one hour. They usually get stock on Saturday morning and are finished by midday.

I imagined, cause i arrived last saturday in Japan and i saw them in a shop, then on monday there were already sold-out...

So i have to wake up early tomorrow :lol

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Time to first day sales...

Melty Blood PS2 had a 70k shipment and its sold out most everywhere.

Last week Pachislot PS2 game gets a DS and PSP versions editions this week, less than 10k for both.

http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos...?dev-t=D3A0EVSPCPV0FK&camp=2025&link_code=sp1
Extremely low start but its not front loaded software...better to see at the end of year. I don't even know which game is it :lol

Awesome, deserves it totally, frigging great game! Shame no story mode

[Mithos Yggdrasill]

I only liked SF64.

Me too. And a little bit Starfox Adventures. It was amusing.

 

[jesusraz]

Is that the only new DS game out this week? The Sandlot Mech game, is that due the following week then?

I reckon this week as well, since Gundam will likely drop quickly (below Mario next week, methinks).

And I'll keep that offer in the back of my mind, should I ever need to call upon a favour

 

[MrSardonic]

How many weeks in a row is it now that the PSP has been climbing?

but PSP software sales are still generally terrible. So I don't know if the PSP hardware sales are good or bad news really if not many people are using it to play videogame software

How can it be a bad thing? The potential amount of software sold for each new release is going way up when people buy hardware (assuming 1 game pr. system )

except that you are assuming that people buying PSP hardware have interest in PSP software.

If the DS didn't exist, people would say that's impressive.

Spoiler

Though the real reason is the price drop and locoroco bundle

 

[apujanata]

I wouldn't be surprised if they are actually holding back some stock to prepare for FF3 and Pokemon launch.

And... producing 2.2M units a month is already a staggering number... I wouldn't want them to compromise the quality of the DS Lite (i.e. more defective units) in order to produce more to meet demand.

Personally, I don't think the defective unit is caused by the increased production. But you could be right. Well, with 1.6 - 1.8 Million unit sold per month (roughly), they should have around 400K to build up their stock level. Hope Japan will be able to return to unconstrained DSL sales soon. But with Pokemon (and Zelda and FFE) coming soon, I somehow doubt it.

Is the amazon.jp price drop REALLY that major?

 

[Brofist]

if you mean the PSP I'm gonna post this one more time and I swear if another person references the Amazon "price drop" I'm gonna go ape shit

it was a temporary sale which is all but over now. not a price drop. a sale. which is pretty much over now.

That's what I thought.

I don't even think Media Create tracks Amazon.jp sales.

Does that Stress game already have a release date?

Are you really, really sure it is not a "price drop" ?



(just joking).

zOMG PSP AM BACKZ

too bad it will get raped by DS holiday line up.

I believe PSP is not a living, human being, so I don't see how it can get raped by DS.

you have to find the rhythm in each level and then tap the A button at the right time! that's actually all you have to do

Does it have anything coming this week?

 

[Pureauthor]

Are unconfirmed numbers coming out anytime soon?

 

[cvxfreak]

They were here this time of year last year, so I expect them to be here soon.

 

[starship]

Yeah, they are coming out in the next 10-15 hours.

 

[DefectiveReject]

DSlite i believe is lower than PSP!

Spoiler

i lie on Wednesdays

Spoiler tags Suck

 

[Scalemail Ted]

I can't wait for the new systems to launch, just to see the charts shake up a bit.

 

[apujanata]

Yeah, they are coming out in the next 10-15 hours.

Sometimes we got unconfirmed the first day sales. this week doesn't have it yet

 

[DefectiveReject]

Sometimes we got unconfirmed the first day sales. this week doesn't have it yet

thats because its bank holiday in Japan, so sales will probably be late this week anyways

 

[ziran]

sinobi has been updated, any japanese speakers able to do a better translation? (thanks)

i think it says:

- there are going to be three 3 million selling ds games by september, acww, nsmb and bt2
- bt2 ~70k total ~3 million
- nsmb >100k total over 2.7 million
- gundam portable total sales ~200k
- rhythm tengoku total sales ~50k. a new shipment has arrived this week, because there was a shortage and good word of mouth, sales could be around the launch figures (in next weeks chart).

there's some other info on a ps2 game but i don't know what it is.

 

[Joe Molotov]

Good to see the PSP price drop is working so well for them.

 

[DefectiveReject]

oh my god. Should i remove the spoiler tags for you?

 

[Chibbi Brady]

So Mario, in it's 12th week, is back over 100k yet again, should hit 3m in 3 weeks time. If it keeps this up it could be at 4m before the holidays, who the hell knows what it'll end up at.

 

[Pureauthor]

Well, it is the quintessential 'buy the system and a game' game for the single hottest piece of gaming hardware in Japan right now.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

I believe he was being sarcastic in relation to the Amazon online sale.
