Nice to see Uncharted 2 at the top of the charts where it belongs (being an awesome game).  I'm disappointed that Borderlands is so high on the list, though.  Is that 169,000 for Kingdom Hearts x/y days good or bad?  Somehow, it seems a lot less than I'd expect from that franchise on DS.

Except that released last month, right? Most of the major sales already occurred for that game.

Except that released last month, right? Most of the major sales already occurred for that game.

According to GameFAQs, it released right at the end of September so these numbers should be the first month's sales for the game.

[Stratos]

Ah. I that case it is surprising.

[TofuFury]

No, it was on the NPD chart on the previous month. It just missed the top ten, along with Scribblenauts.

[Mop it up]

Here are some numbers from VGChartz until we can get some official numbers:

Muramasa: 100k
Dead Space Extraction: 50k
A Boy and His Blob: 25k

Yeah, those are probably an overestimate...

[broodwars]

No, it was on the NPD chart on the previous month. It just missed the top ten, along with Scribblenauts.

It may have been on the NPDs last month, but it still would only have been out for a couple days by that point.  Guess it just had a big launch and then kind of faded?

EDIT: I get a feeling A Boy & His Blob will do a lot better than Extraction, Mop.  It has a good aesthetic for potential Wii owners, decent internet marketing, and a decent cover.  These are all things Extraction does not have.

[TofuFury]

If it was in the top 20 last month, and top 10 this month, then my guess is it's doing pretty well. I think that's good news. We'll just need to keep an eye out for it next month.

Overall, I think it was a good month for Nintendo. I'm hoping A Boy and His Blob does okay.

Wii is obviously doomed, no one is waiting on a price cut unlike the PS3.

[Mop it up]

Those aren't good numbers for the Wii version of DJ Hero. Isn't the Wii audience notorious for scooping up anything with an accessory?

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Did you just stumble onto another Myth Busted?

=D

The numbers for the game are atrocious period, it is just that the Wii's numbers are worse.

[Stratos]

Because DJ-ing is not a casual endeavor. I'll bet the casuals picked up Beetles Rock Band instead because that has mainstream appeal.

[BlackNMild2k1]

the game cost $120 US DOLLARS

who wants to pay that?

[Mop it up]

Wii Fit Plus is $100 and people eat that up.

[BlackNMild2k1]

yes but that has added benefit besides being fun.
and it still isn't ONE HUNDRED TWENTY US DOLLARS!!!!

$20 makes pretty big difference.

[GoldenPhoenix]

Wii Fit Plus is $100 and people eat that up.

Wii Fit Plus is at 99.99 which is a mental barrier. To most people, as illogical as it sounds see $119.90 as much more.

[ShyGuy]

Ya know that Band Hero with the Taylor Swift is getting a lot of commercials lately.

[BranDonk Kong]

DJ Hero sucks, that's why no one bought it.

It is more; 20% more to be precise. That isn't an insignificant amount of money.

But you do have a point... that's why everything is 1 cent less the dollar amount it rounds up to. People are stupid...

[KDR_11k]

Wii Fit Plus is $100 and people eat that up.

More people want to be fit than be a DJ.

[Chozo Ghost]

Wii Fit Plus is $100 and people eat that up.

More people want to be fit than be a DJ.

Yes, and in the USA more people need to be fit too.

I guess what we need is a breakdancing game that could use the balance board or something. That way you have a music game and a fitness game at the same time.

DDR and the other dance-rhythm games are probably the closest you can get to break dancing.
