Pokemon Black/White Unseated From First Place

Posted in Industry News

This is a bit of a shocker if the history of Pokemon games for the handheld are of any indication: Pokemon Black & White moved from first place to second in sales numbers on the week of October 18th to the 24th. So who is number one right now in Japan, you may ask?

Why it’s none other than the Super Mario Collection Special Pack for the Wii, of course. Don’t be too shocked if these two games trade places back and forth in the coming months.

Other things to note about the week include:

- PlayStation Move games are experiencing a slow debut in Japan. Beat Sketcher’s the highest-selling game on the list, selling about 22,165 units.

- The Xbox 360 version of Vanquish, a currently new game from Sega, debut at number 14 with a pathetic sales number of 11,204 units. The PS3 version fared much better though: fourth place with 48,318 units.

Here are the top 20 software sales ranking for the week of October 18th-24th (from MediaCreates via Siliconera).

    Just about all of what you assert is astonishingly precise and it makes me ponder the reason why I had not looked at this with this light before. Your article really did switch the light on for me as far as this particular subject goes. However there is actually just one point I am not necessarily too comfortable with and whilst I attempt to reconcile that with the actual central idea of your position, let me observe exactly what the rest of the subscribers have to say.Nicely done.

    Along with almost everything that appears to be developing inside this subject matter, all your points of view tend to be quite stimulating. On the other hand, I beg your pardon, but I can not subscribe to your entire plan, all be it exhilarating none the less. It would seem to everybody that your comments are generally not completely validated and in simple fact you are your self not entirely confident of the point. In any case I did appreciate reading through it.

  7. Throughout the great scheme of things you’ll receive a B- with regard to hard work. Exactly where you lost me personally was first on all the facts. As it is said, details make or break the argument.. And it could not be more accurate right here. Having said that, allow me reveal to you exactly what did deliver the results. Your authoring is certainly quite engaging and that is most likely the reason why I am making an effort in order to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, whilst I can easily notice the jumps in reasoning you come up with, I am not really confident of exactly how you seem to connect your details which help to make your conclusion. For right now I will, no doubt yield to your issue however hope in the future you link the dots much better.
