New games bolded.

 

[Jonnyram]

The grapevine is saying that SRW sold 400k already.

 

[Rock_Man]

What about Ouendan?? Not even top 10

 

[Jacobi]

Tenchu PSP beats Ouendan ?

 

[ziran]

The grapevine is saying that SRW sold 400k already.

!

as much as i like the idea of non games expanding the market, it's nice to see a [more traditional] game selling so well.

so ouendan maybe 10-20k? hopefully word of mouth will increase sales.

 

[Bebpo]

Oh no. A Genki racing game outsold Shadow Hearts 3....;_;

This is bad...real bad....fuck ;_;

 

[mckmas8808]

A PSP game in the top ten. FINALLY WOO-HOO-HOO!!

 

[Taker666]

What about Ouendan?? Not even top 10

Doesn't surprise me.

It has the same problem as Electroplankton.

They only announced it a month or two prior to launch so it had no time to build up anticipation/hype.

 

[thestopsign]

Looks like Shadow Hearts is going to do okay. What were there predictions for the game?

 

[gamewhooper]

So now PSP has 3 games in the top 50 over there? :lol

 

[Rocket9]

A PSP game in the top ten. FINALLY WOO-HOO-HOO!!

Not for long

 

[gamewhooper]

Not for long

I can see Ouendan getting more popular by word of mouth. Also, don't Nintendo games sell much better on the weekends?

 

[Error]

Shadow Hearts 3 is out? impressions please how does it stack up to SH2? the game looked awesome in the trailers I hope it doesn't disappoint.

 

[Rocket9]

I mean the PSP game. Any non-Nintendo game starting at number 9 will always dissapear from the face of the earth a day or two later

Ouendan. That's the cheerleading game?

 

[gamewhooper]

Ouendan. That's the cheerleading game?

It's the great cheer-leading game according to everybody who has played it.

 

[Calidor]

Not fair!! Poor Ouendan

 

[Vladico]

Where's Pac'n Roll ?????? :'-(

 

[Altermo]

Shadow Hearts 3 is out? impressions please how does it stack up to SH2? the game looked awesome in the trailers I hope it doesn't disappoint.

Yeah, I'd like to know that too. I hope Bebpo will post his impressions soon.

Short-lived. Very short-lived.

 

[Taker666]

Where's Pac'n Roll ?????? :'-(

Must have bombed. Again not that surprising, Pac Pix was always the more interesting and hyped game and that only did OK.

 

[gamewhooper]

For the type of game Pac-Pix was it did very well. I think it has sold over 90,000 in Japan alone.

Too bad it's a shitty game.

 

[Jacobi]

Damn, buy Ouendan Japanese gaming fools

 

[Bebpo]

Too bad it's a shitty game.

Well then just imagine how good a decent PSP game would sell in Japan ;P

 

[Mandoric]

The grapevine is saying that SRW sold 400k already.

If that's true, that's pretty damn good, as the promotional material coming out of Banpresto indicated the first press was 500,000 copies, and these figures don't cover export.

That's good, though; I've been playing my copy, and it's great. Does an excellent job of combining the new thinking of the Alpha series with the smooth gameplay of the original, with no load issues like 2 or even 1. Even the reused animations don't suffer like they did in Alpha 2's extremely buggy hi-res mode, too, and the difficulty is way up there.

 

[Zeo]

I think we've already seen how good decent PSP games sell since there have already been plenty. ;P

 

[DarienA]

Shadow Hearts: From the New World

Somebody pick this up for US release dammit!

Yeah. I've only messed around with the first few missions on each route but I agree with pretty much everything you said.

I've never been a real SRW player because the load times have always turned me off (I got SRWA & SRWMX back in the day and didn't really play much of either because of the loading). So suddenly with SRWA3 having almost no loading at all I'm really excited about going through the entire game. Also not having played SRWA2 it's all new animation for me and wow does it look incredible. Anyhow the high polish and lack of load times in SRWA3 makes it the first "mainstream friendly" SRW IMO and it deserves the high sales because of it.
