[Massiveterra]

[The Teej]

Good week for Nintendo and MS this week :p Wasn't expecting Nintendo to be on top this week.

[George P Global Moderator]

It just proves that games sell systems. Now to see if ToV stays up there next week as well, or if it takes a nose dive.

Was gonna say maybe the 360 numbers are down to due the supposed hardware shortage, but Tales of Vesperia ain't even in the top 10 anymore :(

Well, maybe all the people with 360s bought ToV already and since there are no more 360s left there is no reason to pick up ToV?

People won't really buy a game if they don't have a console to play it on! I do hope sales increase onces MS gets supply back in stock in September but I guess its a missed opportunity.

However, ToV may have peaked already, who knows, we'll have to wait and see when stocks come back in!

[George P Global Moderator]

Maybe they sold all the copies they had ready? I mean 110k or so isn't a bad number really. Everyone makes big noise when you hit 1mil+ but those aren't all the games. Lots are in the green with just 500k sold depending on how much it cost to make.

[popisdead uk]

Both the PS3 and 360 are selling badly.

Afrika's first week numbers aren't so bad. I'm still amazed this is a Japanese exclusive. Seems everyone bar the DSL is down though, and even then the DSL is only up by 444 units. Mixed bag in the software section, too. Sony/Nintendo going 50/50.

Did Sony announce the PSP-3000 too early? Shortages finally hitting the 360? Will Wii Fit ever stop selling? Hmm.

[The Teej]

Wow, 1,044 360 sold! That's really low.

[George P Global Moderator]

These numbers probably take into account the shortages they've talked about. We'll see how they stack up next week. They should have new stock in by then to account for things.

[bobbytomorow]

whoa Infinite Undiscovery sure pushed some serious numbers and sold a slew of 360's

[+virtorio MVC]

Wow. All Microsoft need is another 100 or so Japanese RPGs and they should be set for Japan.

[The Teej]

Holy ****, nearly a million copies of diamond sold in a week. Insane.

And is it not pretty much identical to the other DS versions minus some tweaks? :rofl:

Pokemon fans are nuts!

[.KICK]

Wow, look at the Xbox 360 sales :o

Pokemon Platinum almost selling a million also is nuts :|

[The Teej]

Actually I heard there's quite a few more differences in this version compared to the differences in the other "third game" generations. Don't know how true this is, the only time I've bought more then 1 version of Pokemon in the same generation was the first (and I bought all 3, and regret buying blue when I already had red and yellow).
