GameCube peaked the same weak. PS2/PSP the week after.
Yeash, now the 3DS is lagging behind the PSP at this point in its life?
It really depends if D3 and Scamco see value in a PSP release in 2011. There is an official English translation for that EDF game (as it was released in Europe), so it's not like it would be impossible to bring it over. Though it should be noted that D3 picked up White Knight Chronicles 2, but not Origins on PSP.

The Geimin page even has a note disclaiming it is as Famitsu published. 5245 makes too much sense for it not to have been a printing mistake. But that's a small mystery compared to the one where added weekly sales amount to half of what Famitsu supposedly informed for the PS1 in 2000.JoshuaJSlone said:
I know about the urltrimmer. In fact, I had used it. There's an edit on my post, which is exactly changing the Garaph trimmed url to the rehosted url because I noticed the original was being re-generated every time the post was loaded. Maybe it was just a wrong perception. Well, anyway, at least newcomers can know more about Garaph various tools. Thanks for keeping it up to date again, btw.

Regarding Earth Defense Force 2 Portable:
- Double pack - 40,000
- Regular version - 23,000
The "double pack" (which has two games) is counted as one copy.

For those who don't know, 今 is the kanji for bomba bin.
Enterbrain CEO shows how March hardware and software sales were hit following Tohoku disaster.
If you were keeping up with gaming in the aftermath of the March 11 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, you'll probably recall the rush of delay and cancellation announcements. Things appear to be getting back to normal as many of the delayed games now have new final release dates, but the game industry did take a major fiscal hit from the disaster.
Enterbrain CEO Hirokazu Hamamura shared the following slide (posted at Famitsu.com) at the latest installment of his semi annual game industry seminars, which was held on Friday in Tokyo.
The chart shows the scale of the game market in the weeks prior to and after the earthquake. The left-most week is week four of February, followed by the first, second, third and fourth weeks of March. The vertical axis is in units of 100 million yen.
For the first two weeks, showing before the earthquake, blue represents hardware sales and magenta represents software sales.
Starting in the second week of March, the chart shows pink and baby blue regions. These represent, respectively, hardware and software sales that were lost due to the earthquake. These are, of course, Enterbrain's estimates.
In terms of specific numbers, as provided at Sankei News, the domestic market saw a total effect of 7,330 million yen, split 2,860 million for hardware and 4,470 million for software.
The reasons for the lost sales, explained Hamamura, were the delays of major titles like Yakuza of the End, Steel Diver and Dead or Alive Dimensions beyond their March dates. A total of 31 titles were either delayed or cancelled.
Many of the delayed titles were major year end releases for publishes, so we'll likely hear more about this topic during earnings announcements in the coming weeks. (Nintendo's earnings announcement is due for the 25th).
Hamamura made particular mention of the 3DS, which was released on February 26. He believes that the earthquake is the reason for the system's poor performance compared with the original DS (3DS first month sales were 746,000 units, compared to 1,105,000 units for the DS). Due to the earthquake, Nintendo lost sales opportunities in East Japan. Additionally, Nintendo and its third parties delayed titles and held back on what was to be a sizable promotional campaign.
Hamamura ended his discussion of the earthquake on a positive note. The game industry has a good chance of recovering quickly, he said. The reason, he explained, is because of those very delays. Many of the delayed titles have been rescheduled for April, May or June, meaning a concentration of major titles in the first half of the new fiscal year.
Hamamura noted that there's data indicating that in the aftermath of disasters, the movie industry sees a 120 to 140 percent expansion. The reason for this may be that there is a need for quick and simple entertainment.

Some retailers believe that 3DS has an opportunity to recover after Golden Week.
I has a solid release list (that would be much better if Tales wasn't delayed) and in addition there isn't the big title for some other console except from Yakuza.
(In case this doesn't happen say bye bye to respectable sales until December)

Super late quote but now I had a chanhe to read the entire thread. There is a possibilitty Media Create has overtracked PSP Go. When it ran out of the initial shipment it was at 170k LTD at Media Create and at 150k at Famitsu with the initial shipment reported to be 150k.Mrbob said:I see PSP go is at 175K lifetime sales so Sony finally sold through their initial 150K shipment. Do we know how much shipment 2 is? Maybe 50K? Can the PSP Go hit the 200k mark? If it sells 350 a week it can be there in 18 months! Should we set 18 months as the bet line and do over/under?Holiday gives a little boost so 17 would make it more interesting!

Mrbob said:
Yeah, plenty. Why buy a PSP2 when you can buy a PSP for cheaper and that plays all PSP games (since many major psp releases still do not have PSN versions).
I think Sony was stupid stupid stupid to not include a UMD drive and full BC. 99% of psp software sales in Japan are umd games. So to 99% of Japan, PSP2 will have no BC and be treated as a completely unique and separate platform with very few games at start compared to the massive library of the PSP.
Unless PSP2 launches with the next monster hunter, I don't see it taking off any faster than the 3DS in Japan.
Mrbob said:
The success of a predecessor means shit all when it comes to a new handheld/console, PS3 has made that clearer than day and the start of the 3DS further elaborates that. Coming from 140+ million consoles one would think the successor would blast off no matter what but that has not happened.
New generation = new start, brand name means nothing.
Bebpo said:
Sony couldn't stick with UMD for the next generation just because some people have UMD'S they will not be able to use now, for one the biggie with UMD was that it sucked a lot of battery from the PSP. If it was added to NGP then that system would most probably have a horrible battery life, even now I'm worried. It's all about software though and that game which brought the PSP back from the dead in Japan. The MH port going to PSN is something I don't see doing much if anything since the game is on PSP but Sony will want a new MH game on NGP quickly. No idea how business works or how things are between Capcom and Sony but if it happens, Sony paying up for a NGP MH would seem likely. No idea is that will happen but UMD being left out was a good idea, NGP won't do anything decent in Japan unless it has a MH game.
And a decent price......lulz
Mrbob said:
With what kind of software? SCEJ hasn't put out a huge game in a long time. Sony's first party output is massively geared toward the west, it doesn't sell that well in Japan. I know there will be some third party game but unless one of them is MH I don't think they'll make the NGP explode right out the gate...
KingDizzi said:
You mean all of Japan, aka the entire PSP userbase.
Japan is entirely what supports the platform, so shunning them just seems idiotic. Could have at least had 2 models at launch, one that was $100 more and had a umd for BC. Or have an optional UMD drive accessory for full BC.

Bebpo said:
Honestly I think that would be the best option. At least if they advertised it enough for the general public to be aware of that.
Bebpo said:
So what when they buy an NGP their PSP will spontaneously combust? Come on it's pretty clear why Sony went without the UMD and am sure they thought about having it in the NGP but opted against it. Reading the rest of what you said a UMD drive accessory should have happened, well I expected it. Must be a reason why they did noy bother. :/
Kyoufu said:Buy a PSP2 to play Monster Hunter Portable 3rd with two analogue sticks!
edit: I pray they don't call it PSP2. I like NGP
I'm good with the claw but that will be my first purchase when I pick up an NGP, did they say it would be on PSN day 1 of NGP release?

The whole point of the BC is to make the decision to buy the NGP easier in the first place.

Ahh, good to get some of the unseen data. However, one correction: by looking at Layton and Nintendogs numbers, those appear to go through only March 27.Road said:
