RE4:Wii will probably hit Capcom's estimates in NA alone.
Click to expand...
Yup. It was on sale for this period for only 10 days.

I honestly wouldnt be surprised if it ended up in excess of 500k copies just in the States alone.

This has big implications.

BTW, whats the usual lifespan on fads? Anyone?

They could be talking North American sales.

Does the NPD cover all NA retailers, or do they not get numbers for some of the retailers?

It's the same number IGN reported independently: PSP->290K, there should be a typo here.

First third party Wii title to make the top 10! (Of course, it was only $29.99 . . . but still . . . )



10. 360 The Darkness

Nice . . . especially since it was released at the end of the month and it picked up in sales in the second week if I recall correctly.

I just hope this doesn't give Capcom the wrong impression, and that it would be a great idea to release Killer 7 with Wii controls.

A SOLID horror game on Wii would be more then enough. And don't talk me about Umbrella Chronicles.

You need to have third parties selling well on your platform only if you need to attract their support to sell more hardware, that doesn't seem to be a problem for Nintendo, they've pretty much proven that they people will buy their systems in droves just based on first party titles. Third parties can either get with the programme or stick to PS3 and 360, I honestly think Nintendo doesn't care that much for their support at this point.

Judging from Pokemon, about 10 years.

Wastes hours checking old Famitsu software data, but that's why we love him.
Keep in mind also on RE4 that anecdotally it was probably sold out/nearly sold out at many locations.

And those saying "buh buh it was only 30 dollars"...well its also a 2 year old game. It sold great, end of story.

um isnt that the number for June? how much did they sell in May?

3 days in May and then only 197k copies sold all of June, thats not good if you ask me.
Click to expand...

They had 217k in May.

I don't see what's so bad about those numbers at all.


Edit: I forget about Sigma's release date, but it still counts for the final 5 days of the June NPD.

What's wrong with Mario Party 8 exactly? Some friends and I played it the other day, on the Monopoly-style game board, and had a lot of fun with it.

Nintendo completely dominates Hardware and dominates software charts in North America... again. Amazing. yay for Resi 4 and Mario Party 8. :D


You can tell that Branduil has been polishing his .gif folder for NPD day.

Good job, mate. :lol

That's what I keep asking. :p I think it's an awesome party-game. By far the best out there at the moment.

Playstation 3 -- 98.5k
Down on a weekly rate from May, and clearly why the dropped the price. Not much more to say since the price drop in in effect and Sony has PR on the impact out in the other thread.

Xbox 360 -- 198.4k
Decent, not horrible, but far from great. Up a tiny bit on a weekly basis from last month, reversing a three-month slide. Better than I forecast, but not what it should be doing. Still needs a price cut. This year.

Wii -- 381.8k
Probably everything they shipped. Still the system to beat this generation, even if it will take 14 months to catch up to the 360 given the margin it's outselling it the past three months. Unstoppable.
Click to expand...


It will be interesting to see if the Wii can maintain it's pace once the 360's price is dropped. A $50 price drop won't move enough 360's to offset the Wii IMO. MS needs to drop the 360's price $75-$100 to stem the tide.

That floored me. Did the demo help or hurt it? I played the demo for five minutes and then deleted it. :lol

I actually like Tenchu ... it is a breath of fresh air to kill people with a katana instead of a gun for a change.

Rally games are much more popular in Europe than the US.

And RE4 is a discount port of what was probably a very expensive game to originally make. Hell, I expected better than "almost 150k" for RE4. I also expected better for The Darkness, given how much advertising I saw. Should have gotten that demo out earlier, Starbreeze.
Click to expand...
:lol Really? You expected better. Someone get on the blower to Capcom, No6 expected more.

why the hell are you guys talking about Ninja Gaiden Sigma? Wasn't it released July 3rd?

This is NeoGAF, dude. We talk sales data that don't even exist. Chad Warden ain't waitin' like no bitch for sales numbers.

If they weren't charging $60 dollars for (Ninja Gaiden Sigma), I would have picked it up with my PS3.

Seriously Tecmo, lower the price. You've released this game three times already.

yeah but 100k @ $60 > 100k @ $30. # of units shifting ain't everything. not for the publishers that is. although capcom is probably making a killing off of each unit given that this is triple-dipping into the RE4 title.

So PS3 currently getting outsold 2-1 by 360 and 4-1 by Wii, and not a single PS3 title in the Top 20.

Man, do they ever need to get down to $399 and FAST.

What are you talking about?

217K for five days in May+197K in June=414K in a month in the US alone. Shane Kim already stated it will be over a million WW by the end of July. Could be already in fact. It was number one in the UK for weeks. It's done fine.

PS3 software....

*sigh

If we consider that a game "bombing" is a game that fails to appear on the NPD top 20 in its release month, I can count from the top of my head:

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 06/26/07 US
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 07/03/07 US
The Darkness 06/25/07 US

Am I missing anything else big?

those games fusioned together to form one freaking napalm bomb of destruction.

:lol :lol
