Man i really hope it does well.
I'd be very curious to know what they are looking at in order to be considered a success. I think this game looks really cool, and I'm hoping that it being brought over on PS4 as well will help it overall but I still don't see it doing gangbusters.
I'm hoping their expectations are not unrealistic
Imo at bare minimum it should do twice as much as the number of names on the petition, at generous maximum it should do as much as maybe Toukiden?
So 100k to 300k?
If I'm not wrong the Japanese sales were only 100k+

Still no digital preorder available...
Habu did an interview with DualShockers that implied that they want Western sales to match Japanese sales (which I think was ~120,000 units in 10 weeks) in order to consider future localizations.

That's not too hard of a goal, right? Right??
I would be shocked if this game sold that well.

I don't see his happening for a fairly niche game like this. Maybe if they include Asia for worldwide meaning.

It's depressing that this is the reality for the once rival to Pokemon.

120k for US + EU isn't a tall order so I'm happy they're keeping their expectations in check.
They didn't say anything about a retail Vita release :/ I'd like to play this on the go but I ain't giving up 4 GB for it.
Do you not reckon? Given how Dragon Quest/Tales did on PS4 in their first months, I'm thinking that's a pretty lofty goal.

game will be lucky to hit like 30k+ opening month retail
100k+ seems way too optimistic
future games are doomed
It's never been a sales rival to Pokemon. The best selling game in the series sold like 250k in Japan. And that was all the way back on the PS1. Cyber Sleuth hitting 135k in Japan is a very strong result.
Didn't Tales sell like 50k in the US in it's first month? I remember it charting alright over in PAL threads so it wouldn't surprise me if it hit another 70k in the EU. And that's not counting digital. DQ Heroes did have an unfortunate sales performance though.
Go on PlayAsia. There's physical versions of this game you can buy from an Asia that are the English Version of the game.

Don't forget it's US + Europe. Obviously it's not going to hit 120k in the US alone.
Looking it up, seems you're right, it was 58k in USA in first month.
However, did it do well in PAL? In the UK it charted once (and according to %'s, sold similarly to Xillia) and then disappeared. May have done better in France since they like JRPG's and stuff, but still.
I'd say that Tales has built a fanbase up over numerous new entries in the west though. It's been a long, long time since the last Digimon in the west. Whether that's good or bad or not, I dunno![]()
All Star is a bad game. Now it will forever haunt my PSN list.I remember when they released All Star Rumble instead of this game.

yah , but the DLC ?
any way , how much the Vita version cost digitally ?
Im really holding out that casual gamers/ old digimon fans catch this game and buy it.
Would a commercial on Cartoon Network or something help?
What DLC is going to be important in regards to the story? I don't know yet I can't seem to find a digital pre-order and sony hasn't added one.

It was a rival in the sesne that the anime and cards were popular. The games never touchec pokemo . That being said, as someone who last gave a shit about digimon at the time the first movie released in theatres, but loves jrpgs, is there any thing of value here?
Can you really not earn Beelzebumom Blast Mode in the game? Really the only reason I'm considering the digital version on Vita.
Well that and its cheaper.
The PS4 may not be able to get those 100k+ sales alone. But it does have a Vita version. Even if it is only on PSN. These type of digital only, niche games are the lifeblood of the Vita in the West.

Most likely wont show up until a week before or the day of launch since they keep telling people digital isn't pre-order bonus you get it if you buy it within the month of release.
Also any new word on region locked multiplayer? Would love to play against my JP Version for the MP trophy.
