Even Dark Souls has had better legs than most other games. It's in its 3rd week in the top 10 if I'm not mistaken. If it can survive a 4th week, then it'll have some the best legs this gen for an RPG.

No. It's selling very low compared to what it did initially (15K vs 280K), almost 5% of its first week, it is not called a leg. It's in the top 10, because it's been really slow the whole week.BladeoftheImmortal said:

So the PSP sold 160k at launch. The Vita should do better, especially since it´s launching on the holidays.

The 3ds did get a huge price cut in japan right, which is already starting to deplete in effectiveness...
So, people are celebrating this early for the 3ds coming back why? I mean, of course the holidays and the big games coming out accordingly will bring the system back to life, but the question, which nobody has an answer for because nobody knows, is how long will that uptick last and can nintendo keep up if the tick doesn't have the impact it needs.

Do you realize that the 3DS has been at the top every single week since Nintendo's conference, right?

7K is all the NIS game could sell? I didnt think Yugioh would out do it.
I also have to put myself in the crowd wondering what software people are buying with their 3DS units though. I honestly cant see much appeal in buying the unit to play DS games.

Anyone that doesn't have him in their ignore lists, deserves to read through his posts and have their nails pulled out...BurntPork said:
but why would you just keep quoting it?
Probably we won't see multi-million games (MK, MH, SM, etc), but these big guns have very strong legs anyway, so it won't matter that much. A lot of other games can be released then though.

Something to do with the j-pop group AKB1/48. Maybe a sim where you go with them on tour or something?
Edit:

Ah, it's a dating sim with the 48 members of the AKB group where you pick 1 of them to go out with.
Edit2:
How exactly do you have a single band with 48 members?

donny2112 said:Yearly Software sales through September each year
No one else has commented, so I'll comment.
Shocked at how quickly DS has dropped this year. It isn't like the PSP picked up the slack either. There's a huge depression in sales this year. Monthly Top 10 DS lists on Oricon are pathetic, too. It reminds me of monthly Top PS2 lists back in ~2007. Some really good sales at the top quickly diminishing to nothing at the bottom.
It is also interesting to see that PSP has had a steady climb (edit: okay, slight hiccup in 2008->2009, but 2009 still > 2007.
) just looking at the first 9 months of the year each year. Still not "great" on an absolute level, but it's definitely consistently gotten better each year. You can also clearly see the beginning of the end for Wii after 2008. Lack of support is a killer.walking fiend

Nintendo artificially pulled the plug out of DS, which now I think it was a good thing, better than seeing DS-3DS multiplats...donny2112 said:No one else has commented, so I'll comment.

Strange is that no one (seemingly) voted for Wii. I'd be surprised if it doesn't sell more than everything but 3DS.noobie said:

PS3 has Final Fantasy XIII-2, Gundam Extreme Versus, Ni no Kuni, Musou Orochi 2, etc.

FF XIII-2 within a very good scope won't sell to anyone that doesn't own the first game already. The other titles are not in the same ballpark at all.distantmantra said:

I don't see the Wii selling all that much. It'll have some nice support from Zelda and Kirby, but beyond that it should be pretty limited in software that can push hardware. The Wii should do well within the software charts though with Rhythm Tengoku, Taiko 3, Just Dance, Mario and Sonic, and Poke Park 2 along with Zelda and Kirby as mentioned.

I can't remember, when is Monster hunter X due out?
edit: obviously it was a typo, I meant Dragon hunter or Monster quest something....oh, I mean Dragon quest X lmao!

I am not sure really at all, DS has sold almost 5 times more than PS3, and it has a better demographic for these type of games, that's why it sold so good on DS.Gianni Merryman said:
It'll get bundles, presumably 5 of them (by Chris' info), which one seems to be announced (The double wiimote one). It won't necessarily need new game releases to push it beyond PS3 or PSP (Though, I forgot Vita is launching, it will probably sell better as well)
DQX, you mean? 2012, not this year! And it is too soon to say if DQX will do large numbers.

Isnt Ni No Kuni more of a standard JRPG? I belive it is, so personally i dont see why i cant sell well on the PS3. I wont be surprised if the PS3 version will sell on par with the DS version, if the PS3 version is a good game that is. The DS version didnt preform that well by the way. It definitely sold a respectable number, but it got a pricedrop quite fast. I think that the expectations were higher at least.walking fiend said:

I'd be surprised if Ni No Kuni PS3 didn't outsell the DS version at the very least. It was around 350k IIRC?

It actually made it to 550kBishopLamont said:
But i think one reason for this was due to the pricedrops. That didnt hurt the sales at least. I also remember that one store was giving it away (i think, or selling it really cheap at least) if you bought 5 used DS games hehe.
