Haven't been paying much attention. Damnit, Cing, you know how to do old-school point-and-clicks... make one for the Wii!
Hell, I'd be happy if LucasArts woke up and ported SCUMM to the Wii. Or Sierra released some of its Quest episodes on the Wii channel. But then, those companies don't like free monies.

I wonder what the sales expectations (by publisher) are for the current crop of Next gen games available? You'd think the trend over the last several weeks would give some kind of point of reference as to what publishers should anticipate upon releasing a game. I wonder if with the new data collected what they anticipate from the market.
Should they ignore it and do business like usual, just expecting things to pickp. Should they delay software until a market gets larger, subsisting off smaller, cheaper games until they can reveal their big guns. Should they adapt to what the current market trends are, and shift strategies into newer more unfamiliar directions?

After reading about Project O it reminds me by its description abit of a flash game called "Grow RPG."
Cant wait to get some more concrete details. Hopefully the game is beyond the planning stages.

Depends on what you expected the third party games to sell on the first hand.Tyrannical said:
DBZ sold quite well I thought with roughly 130.000, bearing in mind that it had seen a release on PS2 before.
Naruto sold roughly 85.000 while the PS2 game sold 100.000. Putting these numbers into perspective is not too bad either.
Now if you compare this to nintendo software it may not look too great. But otoh after seeing the Nintendogs numbers (13 million ww are you f*ing shitting me?) it's hard to imagine third parties putting up the same success stories in the forseeable future and even more so on Wii with a userbase that is far, far lower. I think most people just have been spoiled by the insane numbers DS software is pulling.
Talk about lowered expectations. But you do mention something interesting, that the PS3 has no definition. And this is something I can agree on, 360 is all about Live, Wii all about the controler, PS3 lacks a clear definition. Sure for Sony it's all about BR but it's safe to say that at this point that the consumers don't care all that much about BR.Ynos Yrros said:
30.000 first day are a bomba now? Really interested to see how BBA will be doing over the week. Too bad we don't get any data next week. I guess it'll hover around 50-60.000 for the week, which would be OK I guess.mabuza said:
How the **** is that misleading him or let you know I have no ****ing interest in the game? WTF is up with board lately? It's not like I said it'll be Sim Earth or a carbon copy of Sim Earth, I just said it will be like Sim Earth which means it will at least share some likeness with the game. It was just one example of what the game will be like, there could be other better and closer examples and if you wanted to expand on that or go into detail you could've done that but instead you choose to be such an ass and tell me I'd ****ing misleading him. Yet you in that very post they said it will be like Sim Earth, it's not like you denied it. It can be like a bunch of other things as well and if he wishes to know more he can look more into it now having an idea what to expect. I know they said it'll be like a bunch of other games I haven't played as well (or maybe I'm not remembering them all outside of the Japanese games I know I didn't play), but I did not mislead him with what I said since the whole ****ing point of telling him anything was to let him know that the game will be nothing like Hotel Dusk and used Sim Earth as an example to let him know what it'll have similarities too. There is no need to be so ****ing on a message board on the internet, it's not like I'm submitting this for the ****ing royal assembly. I'm just trying to help the man out, if you thought it wasn't enough you could've just gone into more details that you are aware about.ethelred said:
</end internetz serious business rant>
I was just watching that Jaffe special on GameTrailers and it's 4:30 in the morning right now, so I just didn't feel like taking any bullshit. I'm pretty sure my post is coherent enough for you to understand what I said Actually, to sum it up (if you don't want to read my long rant you can just read from here ethelred), you say the game is like Sim Earth and then you tell me I'm misleading the man, yet instead of being an ass you could've just gone into more details that you knew about the game. Yes it was only one example but it was pretty obvious what he thought and I was just trying to tell him it'll be nothing like Hotel Dusk, I think I got that across.

It's gonna be a long ten days before we get new numbers. sigh.
Are we gonna have two separate threads, one for each day the numbers come in or are we gonna have one big hugeass thread? I prefer one per weekly MC numbers, personally.

My posts chart needs more love.
Good question Chibi--I too would prefer a double thread rather two separate ones. But it's not going to be for a couple weeks anyway.

OK guys, seriously. You're overanalysing MC threads. If it's getting so boring add in some NPD stuff or something.
Every time you see a drop in the threadposting, I bet it's when I banned an idiot. So you can't analyse that.

You better watch out they might take that as a challenge

Would it be appropriate for the weekly Media Create thread to talk more worldwide sales discussion? Seems as good a place as any to meet our Sales Age needs...

I generally object to over-modding that tries to control the direction of thread discussions. My opinion is if somebody isn't being a jerk about shit, they have a right to their opinion, regardless of it's topicality... But hey --- you got the red name and I don't.
At this point Japan is won by Nintendo and Sony has failed. The direction of discussion is going to be "what franchises will Nintendo take from Sony?" and "what caused Sony's failure?"
Expecting any less than that on a week-to-week basis is foolhardy.

I just have a feeling you're going to chart yourself into a corner and be unable to get out.
The video game market's health depends on who's winning the war between GAF and Nintendo.

Sales-Age turns casual gamers into non-gamers.
Nintendo turns non-gamers into new-generation hardcore gamers.
