Support NeoGAF

[D.Lo]

It's like nothing else exists in Japan except for Nintendo. What the hell is there to discuss anymore? Legs? I'm sick of ****ing legs.

Where the hel are the new PS3 releases? Was anything released last week? ANYTHING? I dont see how a "Stupid argument poster" has any ground to stand on this week.

Well we got a "Stupid PSP argument poster" by page 2, does that count?

EDIT: it's either sarcasm or steath trolling though

 

[Clouseau]

What future titles does PSP have that could sell over a million? All I could think of is Crisis Core.

Pssst....check his tag.

 

[Joe Molotov]

When was the last time a third party game sold 1,000,000 on the DS? MONTHS ago. Finally now, PSP games are really hitting their stride. MHP2 will be the first of many.

True, I could see Crisis Core easily outselling NSMB.

 

[Busaiku]

Anyone know how the DS Tokimeki Girls compares to PS/PS2 ones?

 

[bgassassin]

This continued strong Capcom support can help I think. DMC isn't an insignificant series in Japan, and surely someone there will want to save a buck. Or a yen.

Is it really that strong, referring to Capcom's support? I know of RE5 and DMC4, but what's after that? Even still, the price is still going to be a concern right now to make one game a true system mover.

FFVII: Crisis Core
FFTactics
Castlevania Rondo of Blood
Final Fantasy I
Final Fantasy II
Gran Turismo

It really is THE handheld system for developers that enjoy making a profit.

 

[Thraktor]

It officially starts on April 29th, but the 28th is a saterday. Anyway, around that time.

So that leaves 5 more weeks of shortages, if Nintendo really is holding back stock. Add that to these two weeks, at 25,000 a week, and they could have an extra 175,000 Wiis (on top of usual production) to throw on the shelves between the week ending the 29th and the week ending the 6th of May. I'm not entirely convinced that they're hoarding the hardware, but do these seem like the sort of numbers that'd be needed for Golden Week?

Edit: Oh, you forgot Loco Roco 2! And that rumored Okami port. Nintendo's days are numbered.

Rather complimentary to boot.


I dont see anything wrong with that.

It's not really enough, but it will have to do.

Wii games are not doing so great, other than Wii Sports and Wii Play.

I wonder if people buying the Wii are just buying it to play Wii Sports.

Someone needs to make that game. I'd buy it.

Surely you mean a one tech demo future!

 

[apujanata]

I don't think MHP will make it. It hasn't made an appearance on the chart since MHP2 came out, and it probably won't come back.

Well, the PSP the Best version is still showing up on Feb 18, 2007. So, there is possibility it can crack 1 Million overall in 2007.

Nintendo is going to sell its underperforming first party franchises (Zelda bomba) to a third party and soley focus on developing (more) non games?

No, it goes even beyond this. Were talking about non tech demos now.

Yes. I love how Peter David continued Lefler (with so many others) in the New Frontier books. Captain Mackenzie Calhoun, FTW!

See? That shit looks great!

Worst game ever. :lol

At Famicon Dojo there was a used Wii and a used copy of Fire Emblem. It seems that someone had bought the system and game. Beat it and returned it all.

Wii is a one hit wonder. Nintendo is doomed.

Moku, I'm trying my best, but there are very few straws to grasp at this point..

Last year's H/W sales : April Week 5 (23-30) :
NDS : 268,530
PSP : 40,884
PS2 : 29,837
GBA : 13,328
X360 : 2,845
GCN : 1,126
XBOX : 29

If your prediction is true, then it is possible that the two week sales (since golden week fall into two weeks period instead of only one) of Wii can average to 150K+.

[cbjars]

Did Karous come out this week or last and what were the numbers? more than triggerheart?

 

[donny2112]

I think it's clear for all to see that, just as people are predicting will happen with the PS3, the PSP endured slow sales for a time to bring down manufacturing cost while waiting for the "big-hitters" to arrive. Monster Hunter Portable 2 is simply the first. MHP2 = MGS4 = the beginning of the end for Nintendo.

This is where the real race begins. When Sony says so.

Sorry but I am not suggesting that Nintendo is doomed at all

There was a stage where everything that sold on the DS was Super Mario 64 DS and Touch! Made in Wario.

I am sure the Wii is suffering from similar kind of thing, and will pull through when the games start flooding in (which I am sure will come).

 

[castle007]

Heh, a Joker appears!

Every week, I swear :lol

great numbers for Layton and Yoshi

So, everybody is becoming Anihawk. What kind of madness is this ? And Why ?

Is it boredom ? Is it DSLism ? Is it Nintendoism ? Or just plain April Fool mood starting up ?

Well, to be fair, isn't this the first time a Sonic game has charted on the Top 30 since Sonic Adventure 2 Battle?

I think it was like 5000 yen, not a huge savings because it is still a fairly new game. I am in the process of making an online store but there are currently no Wii games on it because very few people outside of Japan have a Japanese Wii, which are smaller than American Wiis.

Just kidding

Spoiler

In truth many people have Japanese Wiis

 

[Shaheed79]

u must not of seen the show because with each successful hit you got a shot of morphine directly into your cranial lobe. 4 Billion seller confirmed.

Is it possible for used game to go to around 2000 Yen, after six months or one year ? I am tempted to buy it, since the Japanese game has higher difficulty setting (Maniac) compared to US (only Hard).

It's possible.. but unless it is a total bomb it is pretty unlikely. I would guess after 1 year it will still be hovering around the 4000 yen range. Hell, I am still waiting for Pikmen to drop below 2000 yen..

Man this thread sucks. I got nothin'.


You know its bad when your waiting for someone to come in and make some stupid ass statement, and mean it. Someone unban Lance, Tabris, and the rest, who was banned for doing it in the first place.

The effort was nice though people.
