From gamerfront.de (a German videogame website, that has info about Japanese first days, similar to Shinobi). Translated from FreeTranslation.com Gamefront 26.07.07 - Sonys sport game Everybody's it gulfs 5 (jap. 'Minna no gulfs 5') came today into the trade in Japan and left a good start. That follows out of wholesale trade circle. Accordingly the game in many businesses is sold out already to 50 percent. The trade appreciates, become could that Everybody's it gulfs 5 at the end even more often sold as a Gundam (300,000 St.). Original Text: Gamefront 26.07.07 - Sonys Sportspiel Everybody's Golf 5 (jap. 'Minna no Golf 5') kam heute in den Handel in Japan und hat einen guten Start hingelegt. Das geht aus Großhandelskreisen hervor. Demnach ist das Spiel in vielen Geschäften bereits zu 50 Prozent ausverkauft. Der Handel schätzt, dass Everybody's Golf 5 am Ende sogar öfter verkauft werden könnte als Gundam (300.000 St.). ______________________ 150k, if true, would be pretty good for first day sales. This should allow for ~225k first week. Any opinions?

"the game in many businesses is sold out already to 50 percent" Being that this is not a native english sentence I could be wrong but I suspect this means "The game has sold up to 50% of its shipped units in many stores" which would imply that it was probably quite a bit below 50% (as a guess probably closer to 125k). Anyways, its a good number but I'm far more interested in the hardware numbers for the Week. |

Happy, you are correct. Basically, the article is stating that the average sales in the major stores are around 50% sellthrough for HSG. Could be more, could be less. I'd estimate it's probably around ~140k or so. Shinobi will have more accurate numbers tommorow.

I'm intereasted in how many of that 150k was sold alongside PS3s

Well HSG was sold has a bundle over there so could be around 20k of them were with consoles.
mitsuhide-aka-General Obvious.
Final Fantasy XIII released in Japan EXCLUSIVELY on the PS3 in 2009. Well done Square-Enix.
I predict Apple rejoins home console gaming with the iGame.

How does "150k first day" translate into bad? That's almost Gundam's entire first week in 1 day, and most likely doesn't include bundles. Basically, if your thinking this game was going to ressurect the PS3, your going to be wrong, but that's the way it's always been. However, if first day sales are true, it is showing that there are alot of sales for the game, and will definately provide a strong bump in sales. We could see 40k PS3s sell this week.
