And the FF13 sales nosedive, as expected though.

Same percentage drop as the PS2 titles from first to second week. FF games are going to be more front loaded of course, though it seems like it'll make it to 2 million in Japan which is still a great number.

Yeah, but that was expected, I figure it'll top out at 3mil unless the negative review press it's getting now make a hit. I mean most of this is coming from the japanese players who are knocking it.

Even the PS2 Final Fantasys never reached 3 million (or even 2.5) though, and that was with a larger userbase. Anyhow, this week's numbers:

You know when your latest and greatest handheld (PSP Go) doesn't even make 10k over the 2 busiest weeks of the year (dec 21 - jan 3), and barely reaches 13k over the entire month of December, you had better start drawing out recovery plans or scrappage plans. The people of Japan have spoken with their wallets - and they're simply not that interested. Even the 360 is beating it for pete's sake.

They were put in place before the thing even came out - High price. Don't take a loss on the device then if it flops, or makes a meagre profit, not much harm done.

That's the reason it launched so expensively, it was such a gamble, with it being digital only, and the fact it's going on to prove people want hacked PSPs for free games. Sony were even giving away 4 free full PSP gamers to Go buyers.

man the Wii is smoking. Its funny to because we traded in our Wii for an Xbox 360 because my kids said they didn't want the Wii. (this was when the Wii first came out too so we had no problems getting a great trade in value) but just yesterday we were at GameStop buying NFS:Shift for my son and my wife said "You know we really need to get a Wii again. They have some really good games for it now" :sigh:

And FF13 is off the top 10 list. Guess it'll be hard to pull 2.5mil. I find it kinda odd that each FF posted above has sold in that 2-2.5Mil range in Japan. It's like the same 2m FF fans are the ones who buy the new game every time. The number doesn't grow or really shrink that much. Kinda odd.

    • The helicopter is still in the top left corner, thats all that matters.
    • Kind of glad I upgraded to S26 Ultra 1TB this year, with trade-in and discounts it cost me €1199, that's only €119 more than the S23 Ultra (256 GB) cost me. Last time I bought it via my phone provider outright with committing to two years, now via Samsung.com I reckon the S27 series will be more expensive too.
