The original Ouendan didn't do well at all, so I can imagine this is doing better. Probably because of the huge DS userbase now and the fact that they've been doing some marketing with it.

Got my copy this morning - the first song isn't as catchy as the original's, but it's still good! It's had a nice graphical touch up, too.

EDIT: Excellent chart entry for it. Well-deserved - I think it may actually be better than the first, and that's a tough game to beat.

I have heard that is a dissapointing sequel, in terms of the songs.

It is at first. The songs aren't as memorable, but as you play and they sink in you realise how good they are - the tracklist is probably equal to or slightly better than the first.

the cube sold 4m fuck didn't no it did that well

 
Flynnie is offline. Flynnie 26.05.2007#9

Holy shit! The cube only sold little over 4million in it entire liifetime!

Really does show how dominant the PS2 was! Also shows how Nintendo have really changed with the success of the Wii.

Can you predict how long it will take before the Wii over takes the GC lifetime sales?

Surely about 7-8 months from now? Maybe even shorter with the holiday period?

SmilieSmilieSmilie thats embarrasing... point and laugh at sony!!! LOL Smilie

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

UNBELIEVABLE! HOW CAN SUCH A LARGE COMPANY HAVE SUCH A LITTLE POWER LEVEL!?

Anyway, I'd imagine the cost of the sytem is still holding it back. My rookie analysis of the situation is that the PS3 will rocket in sales when the price goes down to reasonable levels.

LETS TTYPE REAL BIG AND DO STUPID SMILIES! LOL SmilieSmilieSmilieSmilieSmilieSmilie.

The price won't drop soon. Sales will rise when new Bravias come out I would think.

The store I work at has sold more PS3's in the last 2 weeks than we did on the first 2 weeks of launch.

Yeah and i suppose the store you work in also hasn't sold a single Wii Smilie.....pure Knob.

Just accept the Wii, and we all know you hate it wanking all over your beloved 360 and PS3, nobody said that made it better. Also stop making excuses as to why the PS3 sales haven't skyrocketed.

I wonder how software support will follow for PS3. I can see PS3 selling more like TVs and cars than consoles because of it's focus, but if the low sales at the beginning discourages software support, this must be crippling for Sony.

It's not over yet lads. Wii's low cost makes it easier to sell at the beginning. 360 and PS3 have only just begun in Japan. Japan's support is critical for PS3 as their strength has always been the traditional console gaming, which is something US/Europe devs could not provide. I reckon the next 1 year will be critical for all 3 companies, whichever way it goes.

You're right, we did not sell a single Wii... for some reason we can't get hold of any.

Now please take your penis out of your Wii's disc tray and go play some more movie tie ins or party games.

CCRJD, there was no need for that post. Raab had made no mention of the Wii and just stated something from his own personal experience.
