That's Mana-Khemia: School of Alchemists. And it beat Observation Training on that list. Yay for gaming I guess.Square2005 said:COMG! Store sales: 6/18-6/24Still translating...Code:[PS2]Manatemia Loyal Alchemy Schooler (Standard Ed) - 70

Assuming the percentage will be the same (which it won't), it would be about 190,675.Square2005 said:And here's COMG!net's sales for Minish Cap those same weeks:
11/1/04 - 236
11/8/04 - 81
11/15/04 - 37
Someone do the math and find the differences b/w COMG & m-c during those weeks so we can come up with (possibly) an accurate figure for Zelda's debue...

No, GAMEfaqs has it's release on Thursday(!?). Why would that matter?Meier said:If by some odd chance there were an exact correlation, the sales would be 190,675 based off the previous title. Did Minish Cap come out on a Saturday though?

Did anyone see any ques/lines Saturday? Anyone in Japan?apotema said:Seeing this comget numbers makes me downgrade my sales estimation for Zelda to around 250k

debut. debuting.Square2005 said:Well it's about 411x for the dabuing week of Minish Cap so that could put Zelda DS at ~190,000. Seems reasonable.

Anonymous said:A Plan for the Improvement of English Spelling
For example, in Year 1 that useless letter "c" would be dropped to be replased either by "k" or "s," and likewise "x" would no longer be part of the alphabet. The only kase in which "c" would be retained would be the "ch" formation, which will be dealt with later. Year 2 might reform "w" spelling, so that "which" and "one" would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish "y" replasing it with "i" and Iear 4 might fiks the "g/j" anomali wonse and for all.
Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with Iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and Iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants. Bai Iear 15 or sou, it wud fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi ridandant letez "c," "y" and "x"--bai now jast a memori in the maindz ov ould doderez--tu riplais "ch," "sh," and "th" rispektivli.

sphinx said:how can we possibily not have first day sales data for the DS stuff that came out on saturday??
Deku said:It's option 2. Zelda was not a huge franchise at the best of times, and the sales of last console Zelda (in Japan) disappointed even Nintendo.
That said it will easily do 100k + its first week I'm sure.
Vinnk said:The title might have some surprising legs though. It's one of those games that you don't "get" until you have tried it. That is also the focus of Nintendo's Japanese ads for the game, showing how it works. But as friends show friends and people get a taste of it in action, sales might come in. That is what hapened with Brain Training. People didn't get the point until a friend put it in their hand and said "try this". I am not saying Zelda will be a brain training (that has a much larger pool to draw users from), but it might be a moderate hit.
That said, it is hard to predict anything with the DS, that system has surprised me so many times already.

The problem with spelling is not exactly the complexity level, but the inconsistency. It could be argued that this leads to inconsistent thought, not advanced thought.Leondexter said:Complex language encourages advanced thought. Spelling is a part of that.
A Better Plan for the Impruvement ov Inglish Spelling
For example, in Year 1 that useless letter "" wood be droppt to be replaced either by "" or "" and likewise "" wood no longer be part ov the alphabet. The oanly case in which "" wood be retaind wood be the "" formation, which will be delt with later. Year 2 mite reform "" spelling, so that "which" and "one" wood take the same consonant, wile Year 3 mite well abolish "" replacing it with "" and Year 4 mite fix the "" anomally wunce and for all.
Generally, then, the impruvement wood continue year by year with Year 5 duing away with useless dubble consonants, and Years 6-12 or so modifying vowels and the remaining voiced and unvoiced consonants. By Year 15 or so, it wood finally be possible to make use ov the redundant letters "" "" and ""--by now just a memory in the minds ov old dodgers--to replace "" "" and "" respectivly.
Finally, then, after som 20 years ov orthographical reform, we wood hav a logical, coherent spelling in use thru-out the Inglish-speeking wurld.
I will consume your heart if you hurt English that way ever again.Square2005 said:I've come up with a spelling reformation that still looks like English and retains Latin spelling and fixes the French and wildly unusual spelling of some words. It's not totally phonetic but it's readable and follows English spelling rules more regularly. Take the above "anonymous" statement from Cheesemeister and this is how I would spell it:
Now is my spelling reformation so difficult to read?
It dusn't hafta be so radical that Inglish spelling loozes its bewty and becoms unrecognizable.
JoshuaJSlone said:A question, Square2005. If you're simplifying spelling, is there any reason to keep the q around? Wouldn't it be simpler to be Skuare2005 and have one less letter to worry about?
