Well, the PS2 is still the console king on the country.

Console King means little compared to software sales. Its clear who is demostratively selling games in Japan for the last year by Media Create top 10 lists alone. The titles selling havent been appearing in large part on any console other than DS.

This is true, the PS2 titles that always appear seem to have a one week stay in the top 10 and are never seen again.

...the PS3 games really depend on how quick it can get userbase up though... those games could all quite easily top out around 500-800k depending on how the platform performs.

Its so disappointing that Zelda is not part of that list.

Well, it's always seemed like Zelda isn't as big in Japan as it is in NA. Still it's holding in the top 20 in Japan.

PS2 Grand Theft Auto San Andreas - up to 200.000 (for the week, not first day, if all goes well through the weekend)
NDS Sangokushi Taisen - sold out (high popularity, arcade very popular but shops didn't ask for many units, half the target already sold first day)
NDS Wish Room: Tenshi no Kioku - better start than Another Code (good word of mouth)
NDS Picross DS - going to exceed 50.000 slighty first week
PS2 Pachinko Fuyu no Sonata - 80.000 cleared (?)
360 Idolmaster - similar numbers to Seikaiju no Meikyuu last week (20k?)

Good for Wish Room. Can we have more approx. numbers for Sangokushi Taisen and Wish Room ?

I couldn't find the usual first day sales, those are just sinobi's comments, so I guess we'll have to wait for the weekly data.

Btw, gamefront just posted some Famitsu numbers for some titles, since I was interested in Ryu ga Gotoku numbers, here they are. They cover up to 7th January...

- Ryu ga Gotoku 2 (PS2, Sega): 513.737 St.
Release: 07.12.06

- Ryu ga Gotoku ~PlayStation2 The Best~ (PS2, Sega): 308.387 St.
Release: 26.10.06

- Zelda: The Twilight Princess (Wii, Nintendo): 333.841 St.
Release: 02.12.06

- Pokemon Battle Revolution (Wii, Nintendo): 165.977 St.
Release: 14.12.06

- Tetris DS (NDS, Nintendo): 1.011.285 St.
Release: 27.04.06

- Tales of The World: Radiant Mythology (PSP, Bandai Namco): 160.591 St.
Release: 21.12.06

Ryu ga Gotoku sold like 340-350k units in the original release, the budget re-release is really near! 650k RGG sold already, very good. Very good for the sequel too (at the original price)!

the big difference with nintendo this time round, and the real genius of their strategy, is they've managed to find a way of converting small resources into huge sellers.

wii sports, brain training, etc, are the new aaa, system sellers. while so many other developers have their resources tied up making a few massive budget ps3/360 games, nintendo can make at least 10 wii sports for every mgs, ff, dmc, etc, and this is a huge advantage, and one which wasn't there during the gc or n64 era.

obviously nothing is certain, and it certainly isn't over for ps3, but nintendo is already way above gc, and its strategy.

Someone care to explain this?

The company again stated that 2 million units of the PlayStation 3 had been shipped in the two months after launch, making it he fastest selling PlayStation platform so far. The exact total for the third quarter was put at 1.84 million consoles sold – 0.81 million in Japan and 1.03 million in North America. By comparison, the PlayStation 2 sold 4.11 million units during the period, down by 23 percent on the same time last year. The PSP saw sales drop even further, by 72 percent, to 1.76 million in total.

A new worldwide total for PlayStation 2 global sales was given as 115.36 million, with 24.76 million sold in Japan, 46.53 million in North America and 44.07 million in the rest of the world. The PSP’s worldwide userbase is put at 24.70 million by Sony, with 6.23 million sold in Japan, 9.58 million in North America and 8.89 million in the rest of the world.

So what's the point with these numbers if they don't match. Actually they are not even close. For example Sony mentions 810k PS3's sold in Japan but Media-Create reports only 574k sold. That's 30% difference. What counts?

PS3 is readily available and abundant in stores in Japan, and is fairly abundant here too. Sony has shipped a lot, but people just aren't buying them at a high rate. That's expected (especially at this time of the year) with the price, though.

Well didn't they announce just few days ago that 1 million PS3s has been shipped to Japan? Now it's 810k which is also the same number as sold, but Media-Create says only less than 600k has been sold. Ok, I'm confused. :/

The 1M was the amount of consoles shipped to Japan by Mid-January. The 3rd quarter ends on December 31.

Go to their site, learn Japanese, and learn how they extrapolate their data. Accuracy is within the 10k's, I think. And don't get too caught up in the whole numbers thing. They're really just market indicators that show which way the audience is going. They're not meant for fanboy discussion, although they make great material. It's more for publishers and marketing companies to see where they've been successful..and where they haven't.

They say "sold" although it's actually production shipments. And of course "Japan" isn't just Japan (just like "USA" isn't just USA), it includes countries like South Korea and a few other.

Wow @ the shinobi figures.

I'm surprised Hotel Dusk made top ten, much less #6.

Not knocking the game, but I didn't think it would be that popular.

And San Andreas is only releasing now? Must have been one hell of a translation process.....

Good for Hotel Dusk, and damn at Wii Sports and Wii Play. It seems like these two games are definitely here to stay...
Brain Training Scenario part 2 ? It may be really to early to say, but that's the feeling we can legitimately get, I think.

Sony has a tough choice to make, kill off PS2 prematurely or let PS3 die a slow painful death. Nintendo is laughing all the way to the bank, Wii & DSL console sales will continue to slap PSP/PS/PS3 sales. I predict that sales of Cooking Mama Wii will beat VF5 PS3.
