An Overview Of Japan's Gaming Market During April 2007
Japan’s gaming market fared well during April, with a 6.5 percent increase in hardware sales and an 8.3 percent growth in software sales, compared to the corresponding period last year.
In hardware news, Nintendo DS Lite has officially reached the 10 million mark as of the fifth week of April, the 61st week since its release. Given the fact that the PS2 needed 131 weeks to achieve the same feat, the penetration pace of the handheld should be rated as incredibly fast.
In software news, the latest incarnation of the “Phoenix Wright” series, “Gyakuten Saiban 4” (released by Capcom for DS on April 12, 2007), became the headliner of the monthly chart, selling 338,000 copies within three weeks of availability already more than twice as much as the lifetime sales of its predecessor, “Gyakuten Saiban 3” (released by Capcom for GBA on January 23, 2004 and sold 162,000 copies in total). Besides “Gyakuten Saiban 4,” the DS software library has recently been receiving a string of successful adventure games based around storytelling and problem-solving, such as “Layton Kyoju to Fushigi na Machi” (released by Level-5 on February 15, 2007 and sold 484,000 copies in total) and “Wish Room: Tenshi no Kioku (Hotel Dusk: Room 215)” (released by Nintendo on January 25, 2007 and sold 195,000 copies in total).
Meanwhile, the highly-anticipated newcomer for Wii “Super Paper Mario” (released by Nintendo on April 19, 2007) settled into the fourth-ranked slot of the chart with 240,000 copies sold. Aside from Nintendo’s “Wii Sports” and “Hajimete no Wii (Wii Play)” no other Wii title has broken the 500,000 barrier. Since the two titles above, which both came out concurrently with the Wii on December 2, 2006, have readily crossed the million milestone there are growing expectations on “Super Paper Mario” to be the first to follow the current elite duo. As for PS2 titles, Square Enix’s “Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix +” (released on March 29, 2007) and Koei’s “Musou Orochi (Orochi Warriors)” (released on March 21, 2007) each made a strong showing to come in third and fifth, respectively.
