I mean that on Nintendo's japanese website, their release calendar is a floating three-month period from last month to next month.

wow, you guys are looking at Famitsu-MC difference in FFCC this week? (77k vs 79k) :lol
Look at Gintama PS2...35k in Famitsu, 57k in Media Create. Just wow.

Not a lot of people know about Gintama, that's why.Kurosaki Ichigo said:
But it's still funny people are noticing a 2k difference from FF:CC when last week it was a much bigger difference.

In other words, there are no other games to play on any other systems so people are buying PS3 games to have something to play?

That's one way to parse it, I suppose.test_account said:In other words, there are no other games to play on any other systems so people are buying PS3 games to have something to play?

They weren't bombs or anything (of course: they kept making sequels), but I think the fourth is pretty safely the biggest, even combining the various rereleases of the earlier games. I don't have the GBA version numbers to show this, though.ToastyBanana said:

ethel to the rescue. More Phoenix Wright sales numbers than you could ever hope for or want.
Total sales (combined NDS/GBA versions). As you said, the fourth game has outsold all the others:
Code:
Phoenix Wright 1 444,567
Phoenix Wright 2 335,671
Phoenix Wright 3 238,893
Apollo Justice 471,947Sales broken down by GBA and NDS versions of the games (combining in Best Price re-releases):
Code:
Phoenix Wright GBA 128,601
Phoenix Wright 2 GBA 171,187
Phoenix Wright 3 GBA 161,893
Phoenix Wright DS NDS 315,966
Phoenix Wright 2 DS NDS 164,484
Phoenix Wright 3 DS NDS 77,000
Apollo Justice NDS 471,947And showing the week-by-week sales for each version of each game. Using this one, you can also see how PW3 DS is doing compared to PW2 DS (answer: much, much better):
Code:
Phoenix Wright GBA 23,911 10,816 5,116 62,169
Phoenix Wright (BP) GBA 6,685 7,892 6,491 66,432
Phoenix Wright 2 GBA 51,859 22,751 11,711 116,306
Phoenix Wright 2 (BP) GBA - - - 54,881
Phoenix Wright 3 GBA 76,619 23,450 10,213 161,893
Phoenix Wright DS NDS 50,469 14,989 6,383 117,784
Phoenix Wright DS (BP) NDS 10,898 9,125 7,100 198,182
[B]Phoenix Wright 2 DS NDS 22,428 13,764 8,416 164,484[/B]
[B]Phoenix Wright 3 DS NDS 57,000 20,000 77,000[/B]

Actually, yes. By Media-Create's numbers anyway (Famitsu, if I recall correctly, has placed it outside the top ten on two occassions). That's a total of 39 weeks, or nine full months in every single top ten. For comparison's sake, New Super Mario Bros stayed in there for 26 weeks following launch, or six months. I'll throw up some charts'n'shit later if I have the time.

Agreed. We usually have to wait 1-2 years to get price drops that significant. =(botticus said:
Talamius said:
woah, that's extremely low price for a new, next-gen game.
It sure is great for consumers but I can imagine this sudden pricedrop influencing the perception of people about the game:
" well, that game flopped I may as well save my money and get the next bg thing at normal price "
doicare said:
Yes. At a drastically reduced price.
Its sales are "good for the PS3" in the same sense that some guy's race time is "good for the Special Olympics." So yeah, good job, Hot Shots, here's your gold medal for managing to surge your way up to a quarter the sales of the last game in your series. Well done.

Being sold at discounted prices isn't the best of situations, you know.
Either that, or they'd just get used copies
oh cmon sales on HSG weren't that bad, you guys are just spinning it that way. the numbers are decieving, I'm sure the attach rate was still fine, and after this holiday should be even higher, what sony needs though is more games, HSG alone bumped sales up a bit for a couple weeks to around at least 20,000 each week. If sony could finally get the ball rolling and pump out some good games, the momentum would stay there, not to mention a price drop could help.

No, actually, when I say its sales are a quarter the historical performance, that's the most un-spinny thing to be said in this particular discussion. It's at around 25% what it sold before. That's not spin. It's just reality's anti-PS3 bias.
msdstc said:
Yeah, I know, those kids try hard. They put a lot of heart into what they do. It takes a lot of courage to face up to one's disabilities and still go out there and perform as best you can even though you know you'll never be able to play in the real game.
The sales of the game being good or bad it's all about expectations...
Looks from the pics, that they (Sony and retailers) had a bigger expectation, and demand didn't meet it. So the game did bad for them.
For us, the game did ok on that userbase, because we didn't expect much.

The initial shipment is 300k, which is already met already.
It's more like just a specific case of a certain overstocking shop somewhere in Japan.
