Sakurai's gonna have a panel at GDC, and that's in mid-February.donny2112 said:They haven't really started advertising for Brawl when it's less than two weeks away! How much lead time do you think they need? :lol
If they're having conferences every three months, January should have one. Maybe next week? Someone start a countdown thread.

WE Wii looks great but I really can't see it selling very well at all. I'd love to be wrong.
cvxfreak said:
Agree- It feels like a bomb to me. It's coming late, it has a radically different gameplay that WE veteran's won't like, but that gameplay also just looks too complicated for more casual players. It's going to get ugly.
I feel like the only one that will see good sales for the Wii version... lol
What Famitsu will think will be important, and obviously how good it will be considering it is a real revolution.
But maybe that is why I have hopes, WE (PES) needs a drastic change and this maybe it.

Unless I start seeing some ads for it I think it is going to do quite badly. Almost everyone who was in the market for a 2008 WE game has it by now. If it was released at the same time it might have had a better chance but by now it is late to the party. In general people are often afraid of change and this control scheme is a BIG change. However if it gets good reviews and word of mouth it could lay the foundation for a very successful 2009 version.

Konami should reconsider their WE strategy, not only because of the numbers but the quality of the game. This round has been pretty, pretty poor. Thats going to bite them next year, I'm sure, at least in Europe where Fifa is also big.
Sales in Japan at least have been pretty good with PS2/PS3 nearly matching last year PS2 edition (which was helped a lot by the World Cup) and also counting it saw J League WE before the real WE (unlike last year), and the latest JLWE has been the best seller one EVER by a good mile.

That's all from the Famitsu 2007 Top 100, which we already have, but thanks, anyways.

It's after Brawl, so it will be a good game to see if core games are picking up following Brawl's release. Here's how the GCN versions did.
Code:
GCN World Soccer Winning Eleven 6 Final Evolution 6K ...I think the Wii version has a shot at beating it.

We Wii(lol) will bomb. It has the same perrenial problem as most of the multi Wii games. It might be to different for the hardcore fans(which have clearly established themselves already), it's coming out too late and it might be too hard towards the casuals.
The control scheme seems to be really RTS like, and the hardcores tend to be some of the most stubborn people around.
It really does depend on how magical Konami can market the thing and convince the hardcores to switch(almost impossible) and make sure the game is actually well done. In short, it will bomb.

-Wii Sports, before it came out, had great promotion
-Mario Party 8 was pushed well in stores and on TV
-Dragon Quest Swords had very nice advertising
-Mario Galaxy got some good add before it came out and some GREAT ads a few weeks after it was out.
-Biohazard:UC had pretty good flyers and several of my local stores got trailer DVDs that were quite impressive.
-WiiFit had a massive campaign in the big cities and information books available everywhere else.
Other than that, I can't really think of any Wii games pushed much.

And all these games sold at least decently. Interesting.
I'm gonna be optimistic and wager 80-100k lifetime for WE Wii.

Both are considered equally valid around these parts. Which you'd know if you frequented MC threads with any regularity. *shrugs*

Smash Bros., has a lot of [8 I think] adverts in the japanese TV and the DOJO is a very good online promotion. ^^Vinnk said:
Both are about as credible as each other, but there are faults in both trackers.spwolf said:
I can only think of one example at the moment, but MC did track the GC to be ahead of Nintendo's actual shipped numbers. I'm sure Famitsu had some similar problems at one point as well (I just don't know of them).

Nothing substantial. The hardware is selling independent of software. Sony seems to have gotten their wish - the PSP is selling for its multimedia features, not its games software. Good for Sony (as they profit on the hardware), generally bad for third parties, which results in it being bad for those of us that use the system primarily to play PSP games.spwolf said:
We're going to see a couple of other systems follow this path if shit doesn't change.

In regards to PES2008 Wii, I think Konami should either
A) Sell the game at a budget price
B) Delay and roster/update the game and release it along side of the other PES games for next season
Tiger Woods '07 for Wii was a miracle in itself, but as a result a lot of people didn't buy '08 when it came out 5-6 months later. It's hard to NOT see the same situation with PES2008.

Since we got Famitsu 2007 hardware totals, I thought we could use this with previously known numbers to find out what the actual numbers were for the two weeks they combined. We already had the leaked rounded version, but this would be the more exact version. Things calculated fine, and basically matched the leaked rounded version. Note, though, that since these required the sum of the rest of the year, if I have anything as simple as an off-by-1 error anywhere in the year, these values will also end up affected.
