Wrong week.

So it is...ah well, *ahem*, carry on...

 

[kaching]

I don't think this is a problem. Todays PSP releases in Japan:

Carnage Heart Portable
Every Extend Extra
FIFA Street 2
Goku Makaimura
SD Gundam G Generation Portable

Carnage Heart out already? Forgot about this one. If anyone has impressions, would love to hear them.

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

same old same old. Ds still dominationg.

wait....wtf is that? animal crossing out top 10 ? biggest suprise since a year.

 

[Pureauthor]

*salutes AC:WW*

You had a good run, soldier.

 

[Netrunner2k2]

I wonder how many more weeks until we bid adieu to Brain Age and his brethren.

 

[Bo130]

I wonder how many more weeks until we bid adieu to Brain Age and his brethren.

First of all, I'm sure Animal Crossing will find its way back into the Top 10 already next week or next week again.

Second, Brain Training has already been out of the Top 10, I'm sure. ACWW was in a row

I'm amazed the original managed to cling on THIS week! That must be painful for Sega to see Mushiking 2 fail to even top Brain Training...

I'm not so surprised it managed. This was just a high selling week. 32k is usually more than enough to be in the top 10, sometimes top 5. That's also why AC will probably be in the top 10 next week. It probably sold 27k or so this week.

 

[starship]

I think Brain Training 2 will break the record of how long a game can stay in the top 10 chart. Its out for 7 months now and still going very strong. Just in a month it will break AC record of staying in the chart for almost 8 months. Kudos to both of them.

AC WW sold 29,847 copies this last week.

 

[Galactic Fork]

AC WW sold 29,847 copies this last week.

Hmm I probably shoulda checked to see if they were posted somewhere before putting that. But it just proves my point even more.

 

[ioi]

I think the criticism was that it's fine to discuss the information -- you know, share opinions or noteworthy trends relevant to this week's sales, what have you, participate in the discussion -- but that just posting a long string of links to your own website was just needless and annoying spamming that wasn't contributing and wasn't discussing.

Indeed, but the criticism totally missed the point of the original posts.

 

[ethelred]

Or didn't it?

 

[ioi]

Or didn't it?

So you're not interested in how Tamogotchi 2 did vs the original?
Or how New SMB's 10th week compares to other games?
Or how Sengoku Basara 2 compares to the original?

 

[Oda]

So you're not interested in how Tamogotchi 2 did vs the original?

Whoa whoa. No one should be interested in that. No one. Anyone who is needs to be reconditioned immediately. The only inquiry that any should have regarding Tamagotchi is whether or not poor NanaOn-Sha will ever get to make cool and, more importantly, good games ever again.

 

[ethelred]

Again, the point was: it's fine if you want to bring up those things and actually discuss them, but just spamming a dozen links to your website over and over in every sales thread is repititious, annoying, and doesn't actually contribute to the discussion.

But in order to discuss those things I need to link to the graphs upon which the discussion in based?

I like ioi's posts.

 

[LanceStern]

Well to be fair, ioi only posts it ONCE in the thread, at least he doesn't spam it every other page or every third post. He posts it once because they are interesting to look at and review. Just skip over the post if you don't like it, it's just a few scroll bars away.

But for some reason, I can't go on the site, my computer got flooded with ads the last time and froze up, (this is a fairly old computer mind you, with no pop up blockers or adware protection on it) so I stay away from it. But looing at the charts is extremely useful and interesting.

The problem is that the information pimped in this site is false and invented.



I hope AC:WW regains its top 10 position, but I doubt it will this week, because there will be lots of games with high sales like Gundam (expect it to be the biggest PSP launch in a while)

As long as he doesn't try to pimp his friend's shitty art site.

Brain Training 1 is at like what, 13 months and counting right? (serieusly)

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

Assuming the hardware is accurate, the usual comparison:

GBASP after 22 weeks: 1.28M
DSL after 22 weeks: 3.37M
Time for GBASP to reach 3.37M: 62 weeks

"GBA after SP" after 22 weeks: 335K
"DS after DSL" after 22 weeks: 476K
Time for "GBA after SP" to reach 476K: 36 weeks

DS after 22 weeks: 2.24M
PSP after 22 weeks: 1.30M
GBM after 22 weeks: 447K

Graphically

I also note that DS+DSL for 2006 has passed the DS total for 2005, so from here on it's icing.

 

[donny2112]

14+ months. It hasn't stayed in the top 10 that whole time, though. Brain Training 2 has never left the top 10 since its release at the end of December.

 

[cvxfreak]

In a two to four weeks, DS Lite will have surpassed the GameCube.

 

[Bo130]

5 more weeks then, and it has beaten ACWW. I think it should be able to do that

 

[heidern]

I think it's safe to say that the DS will soon have more million sellers than the PS2 and SNES - a great achievement in itself - and it's quite possible that come the end of its life it will have more million sellers than even the original PlayStation.

Wow, misinformation central. The DS is still a long way behind other systems.

No doubt it will continue to do well, and probably overtake other systems, but it still gonna be a challenge to beat the likes of the SNES(although its got a very good shot.)

Japan

 

[slaughterking]

I assume this is Japan only, because there are more than one GCN million seller WW.

 

[Raw64life]

Japan. He most likely used this to make that graph.

 

[cvxfreak]

DS will beat the SNES by virtue of the two versions of Diamond and Pearl alone. We've also got Tamagotchi 2, Tetris DS, and FFIII has a good chance.

EDIT: I forgot that Mario 64 and WarioWare are still not record on that chart. That'll match the SNES.

You sure you aren't looking at N64?

If that chart's correct, my apologies - I thought my figures might be off by one or two, but not by that much. Out of interest, do you have a note of the titles that passed the 1 million mark in Japan on the systems listed?

 

[heidern]

Yes, I do.
