Sales have been steady for a long while, and now they're even on the rise. Sold 3,5k in Others this last week, steady legs it's maintained for a very long time now, and sold 15k in the Americas last week, a 5k rise from it's regular weekly numbers in the region.

Holiday boosts haven't even started yet, this is a guaranteed million seller and may well go quite a bit beyond it as well.

metalgearmatt, when it stays consistent at 3k for about 12 weeks, it's safe to say that it'll stay around there for a while to come.

This week it even rose to about 4k.

I'll venture a guess that they will be profitable on this game when all is said and done. If we assume they make $20 per game sold (on the low side considering it is 1st party, but whatever) they have already made over $7.6m. If this game cost $10m to make and market, then that would be a lot for this game (simple engine, and simple environments). They would only need to ship a grand total of 500k units to break even, and it should make it to that.

I would assume that, considering the talk of Punch Out being the sole major release by Nintendo in the 1st half of this yr. Advertising was spent on this and effort was made, unlike excitebots or another code r. Comparable to Reggie's expectations for Metroid Project M, over 1 to 2 Mill., i think this started slower than they expected.

I know, sorry about that core word. I should have said high attach rate customers or something.

bald bulls 1-punch knock down is one of the easiest in the game once you know it (this of course is contender mode as I haven't gotten to him in Title defense and I don't know if they changed it)

You want to land your punch right as his arm is swinging toward you. It is so natural for me that I'm not 100% sure when you hit the button but I think it is right when he stops moving forward. If you want to star punch his bull rush, just hit A right after the last puff of steam from his nose. (note, there are multiple puffs)

All games in others launch with the same number of days for the first week. Very few don't launch on Friday.

Hence why I can say these are poor week 1 sales in PAL. If I was complaining about them compared to NA then my argument wouldn't be making much sense due to various time frames.

For a interesting comparison, Madworld sold 20k in PAL in the same timeframe. I'm sure this will go on to sell a LOT more in PAL, but hey if people were disappointed with that, they should definitely be disappointing with this.

But hey, at least America recognizes a good game when it is released

@nordlead, welling saying it had a poor first week is subjective. Secondly, 1st day is also a poor indicator of what's supposed to be every seven days, thus why I call it week zero.
And selling over 100K first week isn't "horrible" sales. COD5 (Wii) sold only 60K first week and went on to break a million, plus this game hasn't even been released in Japan. Again, I fail to see how these are apparently "horrible" sales.

@omega

so should all PAL games be tracked as week zero? They all get released on Friday. This is nothing new. Mario Kart Wii Launched on Friday to over 570k sales but no one complains that should have been week 0.

Every tracking firm separates weeks on the weekend so there is nothing to take into consideration. This game had poor week 1 sales, week 2 sales will probably increase per usual in PAL territories, but don't expect 100k in week 2, maybe 30k tops since it launched in Australia late.

@Omega

Almost all PAL games launch on Friday and the sales end on Saturday, so there is no excuse for it to under-perform compared to other "first week" sales.

Sales may typically go up during the second week of PAL but I was still hoping for a lot more. I'm sure it will do good in the long run.

Good debut. And to those who will/have criticizing the PAL sales, this is more week 0 then 1 for them because it was released the 22nd and these figures are 23rd.

DigitalEdge, The 'only 2 days of sales' excuse is invalid. Almost all games get a 2 day first week or less.

digitaledge81 posted 29/05/2009, 11:25
IN Europe, the game was released on 22nd May. The figures were taken from w/ending 23rd May, so it's only really one days sales in Others. I'm sure that next week it will be a bit higher.

This is a very good launch on the Wii. Probably the best this year for a Wii title. I wanted MadWorld to take that title atleast until The Conduit comes out. Oh well, though I wouldnt say Punch-Out!! is the game I was tracking because fighting games are not the games that interest me. CONGRATS to people that do though!

The same way the yearly crap-outs of Call of Duty, Madden, Guitar Hero, and so on do - it's what people want, so it sells, regardless of what some may think about the games.

Though, this game isn't any more of a Wiimake than, say, World at War is a... HDmake of Modern Warfare 1, tbqh. I really don't know where the whole "this game is a NES remake!" thing started, but it really just isn't true.

I just play it for 3 hours with Balance Board ,and carefully check how its work.

I confirm that there's no problem in BB control ,you just gotta learn to shift your weight correctly to make it work.(Learning curve here but not too hard.)

Enemies will stop and glow red for a second before landing their strikes.Just not too scurry and there'll be no problem at all. :D

What are you talking about? I've been playing it for 6 1/2 hours now and haven't done 25% of what the game has to offer, and I'm at Great Tiger in Title Defense Mode. I don't know what you expect? Anymore fighters and the game would be too difficult I think.

15 million? wow. I hope you mean 1,5.

Personally, I'd be overjoyed if this game passed 3 million (that of the original NES Punch-Out), and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it did - Nintendo are doing very well with software.

Though, my prediction would be around 2 million lifetime. I'd be overjoyed if it passes it.
