So that makes for about, 350k 3DS units with thanksgiving week to go? Wow.

I'm thinking 1.5 million for Nov/Dec worldwide.

Seriously, Monster Hunter 3G, Mario Kart 7 in December is going to be very interesting.

I'd like to see more 3DS titles in the top 20, but it will pick up with MK7, Tekken 3D, Metal Gear Solid, Kingdom Hearts, Heroes of Ruin, Resident Evil, Kid Icarus between now and Spring in Japan.

I'm calling 425k in Japan for November, and at least 400k again in December. That should (with NA/EU) put the 3DS around 11-12 million units worldwide before new years day, and about 15 million by the time its 1 year birthday comes up.

How much did the DS sell between November 2004 and November 2005?

Too many fighters that cater to them for them to bother with something like MVC. Gundam VS games for instance are insanely popular, so is tekken, VF, KOF, SF4, BB, AH etc etc. At that point I'd say there was little to no room for a game that doesn't cater toward their tastes.

If I'm not mistaking somewhere around 96, I'll give you the accurate one in a bit. for comparison sake, other new ips fist week sales. [360] Blue Dragon (Microsoft Game Studios) - 82.286 / 203.740 / 40,39% 07/12/06 [360] The Last Remnant (Square Enix) - 102.107 / 154.493 / 66,09% 20/11/08 [WII] The Last Story (Nintendo) - 109.704 / 137.964 / 79,52% 27/01/11 Edit: the DS one launches December 9 2010 and in 3 days sold 170k

In your opinion, that is. What has your brother liked on it? what games did he buy? I recommend other than the obvious (mario, zelda, fox) DOA and Ghost Recon

It bombed software wise (probably becuase L-5 didnt ship many copies) but PS3 hardware sales got 100% boost due to NNK bundle.

It's really quite interesting to see MW3 on top in Japan. I thought Japanese gamers had an aversion to modern warfare-type FPS. Guess I was wrong.

Wow I mean Call of Duty MW3, Battlefield 3, Halo and Saints Row 3 is on that list? I always thought that the Japanese gamers hated those types of games. I guess I was wrong then :P

All you've to do is slap the magic word "Square-Enix" and your game will sell like hot cakes.

Square Enix subtitled MW3??? Shocker...bbkkristian
You may not know but the Japanese do prefer foreign films and games to be subtitled instead of being dubbed into their own language. However, due to the length of Japanese script the translations tend to be inaccurate so as to fit into the screen.

As for Modern Warfare 3, its high sales in Japan may have to with its connection with Square-Enix and the fact it is subtitled in Japanese. Dubbed versions of foreign-made games sell less copies than subtitled versions.

I recall Black Ops being dubbed, not sure why MW3 wouldn't be dubbed to.

[QUOTE="bbkkristian"]Square Enix subtitled MW3??? Shocker...GD1551

You may not know but the Japanese do prefer foreign films and games to be subtitled instead of being dubbed into their own language. However, due to the length of Japanese script the translations tend to be inaccurate so as to fit into the screen.

As for Modern Warfare 3, its high sales in Japan may have to with its connection with Square-Enix and the fact it is subtitled in Japanese. Dubbed versions of foreign-made games sell less copies than subtitled versions.

I recall Black Ops being dubbed, not sure why MW3 wouldn't be dubbed to.

There is 2 versions in Japan of most western games subbed and dubbed this one is suubbed (Usually Subbed games sell way more than dubbed ones).

It will be a joyous day if Ni No Kuni sells better here than in Japan. By the way Totori was very good sad it did not get reviewed here.
