The lack of PS3, 360 and Wii games in the top 10 is alarming.



Proud poster of the 10000th reply at the Official Smash Bros Update Thread.

tag - "I wouldn't trust gamespot, even if it was a live comparison."

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

really looking at the first half of the year who would have thought the 360 could go on a two month run?

that just rolls with my felling that this generation as a whole started 2 years to early 07 should have seen the box, with the wii and ps3 in 08. and damn they better not jump out early this time or it will cause a crash 2012 earliest for a healthy transition any earlier and they will have issues ...... only nintendo has the gaul and the plan that it could pull off an early transition, but i see no reason why they would kill a cash cow

Do you even bother to read charts or have you made up your mind on what you post already before you enter a thread?

 

You're one of the most rude members on this forum.  There was only 1 Wii game on the charts and no PS3 or 360 games.  What was wrong with what he said?

Sega's Culdcept DS has done really well!
I didn't know Pokemon was actually a publisher.
Wii Music is the lonely 7th gen console game up the in the Top 10. I wonder how long it will stay up there.

Good point. Also, after further examination of the charts, even the one Wii game seems suspicious. I mean, we are talking about Wii Music here which can hardly be called a game.

 

There, thats more like it.



trestres on 03 November 2008

-.- My intentions were to show that there's only 1 current gen game there. Of course I saw Wii Music, but besides that there's nothing else going on. Japanese console gaming is nearly dead. PS2 is doing surprisingly good though.
