Isn't Folk Soul low profile in the first place? It's probably off everyone's radar despite looking quite interesting. Hopefully decent word of mouth does something because it'd be disappointing not to see deserved sales by week's end. I know a lot of people on this board didn't even know about this game until the demo popped up.

Same opinion. I think that there are all the preconditions to make this Zelda a million seller (long term).
Nice sales for Growlanser! Kudos, Atlus. Glad to see the series still doing well enough for itself.
I don't know why people expected it to do well, either, but I definitely take issue with your statement that it looks like shit. The game looks pretty stunning -- absolutely incredible art style and general aesthetics. Whether it'll play well, I dunno, but it doesn't look like shit.
And by "real games," of course, you mean "PS3 games."

but 2000 units are important numbers when you talk about normal 360 weekly sales...

Yup. If'n you're furry, and y'all aren't Branduil or Sonarrat, you'd best keep t'yerself, orrrrrr else.Kobun Heat said:

How many did they ship? What did the previous Atelier games sell first day?Kurosaki Ichigo said:
Easier: Is this good or bad?
Also, Folks Soul numbers are very disappointing. Aesthetically at least, it's exactly the game I'd like to see more of, and then it sells like Saints ****ing Row.

My avatar comes back from the time my son in law stole all my rare games and sold them to a pawn shop (2003) and has always been the same ever since
I remember making a thread here on GAF about storing your games in a safe (lost since the many server changes since ). It really has nothing to do with furry Fularu said:My avatar comes back from the time my son in law stole all my rare games and sold them to a pawn shop (2003) and has always been the same ever since

Did fake/multi jimbo ever come back? We were so close to a conversation. If you ****ers keep up the pointless avatar discussion, I'll bust out the MC interest chart. I might anyway.

So an Xbox 360 game and a PS3 game manage to outsell Wii Sports and make it to the Top 5.... and a 2000-console sales bump for 360 is the only notable change?
Seriously, if Resident Evil 4 can cause a minor sales bump for Wii and Ninja Gaiden Sigma does next to nothing... there's no spin to that.

Nothing outside of a Final Fantasy game and a price drop will raise PS3 console sales for an extended period of time. The sad thing is, even that probably do everything that Sony needs to get back in the race, whether in Japan or North America. They need a miracle.
I think, barring MS being retarded and not announcing a price-drop on July 10th, Sony won't drop the price until after Christmas. If MS really wants to hurt Sony in the Western World, they will lose the Core system, drop the Premium 100 bucks and make the Elite 399. But something tells me that they don't really want to win this time around.

More like a 4 or 5 thousand bump for X360.Terrell said:
Considering Wii seems to remain sold out, I don't think it's accurate to say RE4 created a bump. Nothing has had a chance to, really.

It just meant that Nintendo decided to ship more that week.
Well, I think it's two-fold, really, because based on the additional 10,000 consoles that were moved that particular week (which evened out again in following weeks) when Wii Sports sales didn't fluctuate by any significant number, perhaps Nintendo shipped more consoles in anticipation of a slight spike in interest due to RE4. So perhaps we're both right?JoshuaJSlone said:

It'd be better to consider percentage change; 10K is a small difference for DS but huge for X360. PSP's 35% jump is pretty big for randomness. It didn't jump that much for Golden Week.Axord said:
Previous times PSP has jumped 35% or more from the previous week. Usually it's during the Decemberish holiday period when big bumps occur.
Week of 2007-09-12: 217% This was the week of white PSP, FF VII Advent Children, and Winning Eleven PSP.
Week of 2005-11-14: 90%
Week of 2005-11-28: 80%
Week of 2005-12-19: 69%
Week of 2006-02-27: 36% Valkyrie Proile bump, I guess.
Week of 2006-11-20: 85%
Week of 2006-12-11: 69%
Week of 2006-12-18: 183%
Week of 2007-01-01: 72%
Week of 2007-02-19: 190% Monster Hunter 2
Looking at things another way, I looked for the average absolute value of percentage change for PSP among weeks with 50% or less change. Arbitrary cutoff, meant to cut off those freak 90% weeks. Anyway, average is 13%, usually ranging from 5-21%, so 35 is quite irregular.

Cool site. 6 'games' and 4 non-games in the top ten. A very good mix, imo.
