No I mean Monday was a holiday and they got back to work today, Tuesday.I knew Monday was Holiday, but today as well? Ah, ok
Just to be clear, I don't live in Japan so that post is based on online shops, including Bic Camera, and they are sold out of both.

An actual legitimate heat wave excuse?
Who knows. With a physical sellthrough of 99.6% according to Famitsu, it's difficult to gauge its sales potential, when it's still quite clearly supply constrained.

I was expecting this to happen at some point. Let's if Pokekids will join the fun.
It's 199,521 LTD
I would assume that Dengeki is aimed towards gaming enthusiasts, so therefore their data would better represent that population. It's like how the Famitsu's top games (or was it just top Nintendo games?) show Xenoblade as being really popular. We shouldn't expect X to be a million-seller because of that.
Pretty sure Final Fantasy would be overrepresented as well. I mean, yeah, it's huge. But I think there are more casual titles (including Dragon Quest) that should be pushing that franchise lower in popularity charts.
yeah the list is a bit skewed towards the gaming crowd but it's interesting to look at. Purse Owner 4 is #1. MoHu Portable 3rd & MoHu Portable 2nd g are 6th and 12th place respectively.
And on on another list it seems like people favor FFX being on the PS3 than Vita by 47.4%.........
;_;
and speaking of Dragon Quest, my issue of Nintendo Dream as slime ranked #9
Oh boy... I wonder how this will affect GE2

to block Vita TV as well..
Wow, another MH4 bundle. Curious to see how much it can sell. Since it's the original 3DS, I'm not expecting gigantic numbers. Far from it.
Famitsu...where is Pokèmon's first week sales number + 3DS hardware sales? Don't tell me that NOA's PR about the worldwide debut is blocking you.

it already crossed the 200k mark
MH4 is available in large quantity in Book Off shops, yesterday i saw around a dozen of used copies in Shibuya, today i went to Ikebukuro shop to sell Soccer Tsuku PSV and there were 20 used copies available
Man Nintendo is ruthless when it comes to that 3ds

So 2.096M copies. Around what was expected?
And 243K 3DS; puts it up Y/Y right?
That would mean 1.9M (minus whatever was DD in Japan) across NA and Europe - this strikes me as a little low, but I don't know what past Pokemon did to compare and I think they said it was just one day in Europe.

It should.
It also means the game sold around 2 millions in the West in it's first two days. Given how European numbers are for just one day, this totally point towards more than 1 million sold in Americas in the first two days.

Monster Hunter - 2It should now be up YoY by about 65k (rough 8am haven't had a coffee yet numbers).
All it took was the two largest games the platform has seen! Well done!
I'm just playing, I know the gap will increase for the rest of the year

I really wish there was a way to include digital sales of games. With the rising rate of digital downloads its really hard to compare new software sales with past games.

So it did better than Diamond/Pearl first week with a smaller userbase? Great numbers all around.
I'm curious to know how it fared compared to B&W with digital sales included. Most likely wouldn't match it, but it'd come even closer. With digital sales it's certain it's cracked the top five of that chart. Unless they're including digital sales, but all it says is it includes download cards.

Those Pokemon numbers are seriously impressive! I'd had expected it to move a bit more hw though (~300k)
edit: wait, it's 243k or 290k ?
Welcome back, man! How've you been?

How've you been?Pokemon did well as expected.
That's normal for Pokemon. BW sold 1.08 million and DP sold 780k over the course of their first 24 hours in the US.

Ah, cheers dude!Welcome back, man!
I've been lost in the sumptuous and delicately crafted world of Dragon's Crown. That game man, that game. It's good to be back though!

Ah, okay. Thanks. Didn't have those as reference. Will be interesting to see what effect it can have on Oct NPD.
Source for this numbers? Nintendo PRs from the past?
The numbers are from an old press release.

Great numbers for Pokemon; I'm having a blast with it so far. Also, welcome back SmokyDave!
Yeah seems so. I thought maybe the shortages were due to stockpiling for Pokemon, but seems not to be.

I'd expect close to zero impact on Vita sales.
MH4 already sold few hundred thousands of 3DSes and game is close to 3 milions. New edition on normal 3DS won't suddenly push huge group of undecided customers into buying it if they haven't bought it yet.
I stood in front of a copy on Saturday and nearly pulled the trigger, but I knew nothing would tear me away from DC just yet. I do intend to give it a spin because I really don't understand the appeal, but I haven't played it since Pokemon Red so it can't hurt to try it out. Plus, I do want to get some play out of this 3DS, honestly!How are you not playing pokemon on your brand new XL ?

As I've already said (in this thread?), I wonder what this means for Gaist Crusher, which is kinda presented as the MonHun for kidz.

This kinda feels like a troll from Nintendo, honestly.
"Sony : hey, hey! Check out our brand new console, the v--"
"Nintendo : HEY DOOD! Want some moar MonHun? Here, take this!"
Then again, the impact on 3DS sales will be quite limited, though there'll definitely be one (it's not just a new colour).
And pretty good numbers for Pokémon X and Y. Shame it couldn't overtake Black/White, but the difference in the userbase (I believe the DS had already reached 30 millions when it came out, right?) is pretty huge. Still, great to see the series' as popular as ever in Japan.
And looks like there was some 3DS XL shortages, that would explain the "odd" bump for the OG 3DS.
Insane. Holy shit.

Monstrous. Catching Black and White with the DS's install base being what it was was clearly not going to happen, but to handily outpace Diamond and Pearl to such a degree is a great success. If its legs are closer to DP's than BW... holy crap.
Hmm... forgot about the new colours, but I doubt they did much, since it was just a slightly different version of Black/White 3DS. Hardly something that's cause a sizable (25k) increase in sales.
Besides, didn't Media Create mention stocks running low the two weeks prior to Pokémon X and Y launch?
By the way, does Enterbrain/Media Create mention the % of bundles for hardware sales? Not on Wednesday, but in the week-end. I'd love to know how many Pokémon bundles were sold.
