Maybe the market for Wii (at the current price tag) slowly becomes saturated??!

Probably more proof, that only software sells consoles. The WiiSports novelty slowly wears off, so the Wii takes a deep breath before the next heavy hitters hit.

you needed proof for that?

 

[Chumly]

I don't think that Animal crossing Wii will come near the huge sales of his DS comrade.For instance Big Brain Academy on Wii haven't sold nearly as much as the DS version ,or take Cooking Mama for comparison.

It might not but your comparing it with absolutely terrible examples. BBA sucks from what most people think and its not even as good as the brain training games (Correct me if im wrong). Same can go with cooking mama and it wasnt near as popular as animal crossing anyways. Animal crossing back in the day did pretty dam good considering on the gamecube and it even showed legs that were unheard for back in the day. Animal crossing on the Wii is something that people will actually look forward to and by all means it will be a good game (at least way better than BBA and Cooking Mama). Id be willing to bet that it will outsell pretty much everything on the PS3 except MAYBE FFXIII.

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

It's more like Sony fans overplaying something when the PS3 is doing even worse+PSP software bot selling AT ALL aside from rare exceptions more than downplaying by Nintendo fans when the Wii still selling twice as well and still have a 2M userbase lead.

Fear the 1 or 2 joke characters acting like Sony fans in MC threads much? Seriously, try to have to fun rather than getting upset because what a joke character banned several times tries to say once a month. Thats MC threads nowadays, either you are one trying to upset people or you are one of those who get upset.

I don't recall you ever having been banned in the recent past nor think of you as a joke character.

This weeks been pretty uninteresting

I can't exactly be dissapointed at DS and Wii atm..they're pretty much dry for September. Wiis got Mario Strikers coming though..that has potential to sell 150k+

If mario strikers outsells Winning Eleven 2008 on PS3, feces will be flung.

 

[Izzy]

Next week is going to be interesting...Strikers, Katana, Crisis Core/Pokemon second week, MGSPO+, PSP Slim's first week...


Predictions, anyone?

 

[Haunted]

you needed proof for that?

Well, Sony didn't know. Remember their '5 million without games' comment?

 

[Lobster]

Get ready to fling feces.

Predictions, anyone?

Crisis Core on top but Pokemon sells more 2nd week. Mario Strikers 4th, Katana for what console? PSP slim and FF will make PSP sales 70k+

 

[Izzy]

Katana for what console?

It's an exclusive Dynasty Warriors game from Koei. And it's for Wii. Sengoku Musou Katana is the full name.

 

[test_account]

XBox360 called and said "That means NOTHING........ Believe me"

Do you say that price and games means nothing? How much was 360 at launch in Japan and what games did it have? If you had released 360 and PS3 i Japan at the same time, both at 25k yen and with the exact same software library, which console do you think would have sold the most?

 

[_Alkaline_]

Would it be possible for someone awesome to post a list of important upcoming Wii and DS games in Japan for the next couple of months?

?

 

[Pureauthor]

And it looks like something one of my pet dogs regurgitated.

Actually, believe it or not, the game has seen a fair amount of improvement since those disgusting screenshots from last year, both graphically and conceptually.

 

[Lobster]

Oh that one. Will sell like 30k?

 

[AnimeTheme]

Next week is going to be interesting...Strikers, Katana, Crisis Core/Pokemon second week, MGSPO+, PSP Slim's first week...


Predictions, anyone?

PSP Slim.... 125k perhaps? This is a wild guess since I dunno how many Sony actually ship.

CCFF7 continues to be strong. MGSPO+ will be good and be the 2nd or even the 1st best-selling new titles of the week. Some recent and long-selling titles (MHP2, GTA) will have a jump on the chart due to PSP Slim launch.

Strikers sales will be solid, but not spectacular.

Katana will be a bomb :lol

 

[Kyoufu]

MGSPO+ will be bomba total. I don't think the original even sold many to begin with,

 

[Lobster]

MGSPO+ will be bomba total. I don't think the original even sold many to begin with,

I think so too.

Katana won't bomb hard for first week sales..but will be a bomb LTD. Probably won't reach 50k.

 

[AnimeTheme]

MGSPO+ will be bomba total. I don't think the original even sold many to begin with,

The original one has almost 400k LTD. You seriously think this one will be bomba all of a sudden?

 

[AniHawk]

The original one has almost 400k LTD. You seriously think this one will be bomba all of a sudden?

Isn't it just a special edition sort of thing? It's not going to be huge.

 

[Haunted]

How much did FFXII International do?

 

[Lobster]

Metal Gear Solid Anniversary should sell over 4million in Japan then..

...

 

[AnimeTheme]

Yeah it's basically a special edition selling at a bargain price. No, it won't be huge, but considering the success of the original game and that it's released along side with the PSP Slim launch, it should sell way better than an average "The Best" title.

 

[Phife Dawg]

This weeks been pretty uninteresting

I can't exactly be dissapointed at DS and Wii atm..they're pretty much dry for September. Wiis got Mario Strikers coming though..that has potential to sell 150k+ LTD

So it'll end up doing worse than it's predecessor? Assuming by 150k+ you mean a number actually close to 150k. (if it was just any number above 150k it wouldn't be a real prediction)

Next week is going to be interesting...Strikers, Katana, Crisis Core/Pokemon second week, MGSPO+, PSP Slim's first week...


Predictions, anyone?

Wii at 40k, PSP 80k, DSL 70k.

Pokemon outsells CC again but I don't think CC will drop off steeply. I think a lot of people did wait for the slim to get CC since not everyone would want the bundle (or could get it due to limited number).

Strikers will debut in the Top10 for sure, don't know about Katana. I still think it sucks from watching the vids but so does the whole series and Japan is still kind of crazy about it.

edit:

And it looks like something one of my pet dogs regurgitated.

That's in line with the series though.

I hoped nobody would notice lol. I meant 150k+ (to 160k) first day.

It might be too much though?

Whats the stats on the first?

Edit:Oh I see..I wrote LTD..I must've blanked out or something.

 

[Izzy]

MGSPO+ will be bomba total

Seems like it's general consensus in this thread. I'd like to hear you estimation for the first week, and LTD numbers.


OK, Strikers number, first week, LTD.

Any takers?

 

[Lobster]

My real estimate...about 100k first week.

 

[Izzy]

100k? But would you be disappointed if it does, say 60-70k, or less?

 

[Izzy]

Also, regarding MGSPO+ sales - almost everyone expects poor or barely decent sales. But what amount, 10k, 20k, 30k for the first week? Just curious...

 

[Lobster]

100k? But would you be disappointed if it does, say 60-70k, or less?

Nope. Not at all.

Anyone have the first week for the predecessor?

Also, regarding MGSPO+ sales - almost everyone expects poor or barely decent sales. But what amount, 10k, 20k, 30k for the first week? Jusr curious...

20k. It will chart.

 

[Izzy]

Anyone have the first week for the predecessor?

Yeah, I'd like to see it as well.

 

[cvxfreak]

74,209

 

[Frillen]

So where's Strikers first day sales?

Anyway, the Wii isn't going to anything big until Galaxy comes out. But when that happens, BOOM. And then Wii-Fit and then Brawl.

 

[Izzy]

74,209

Thanks.

So perhaps 100k for the first week on Wii? The userbases are similar, and Wii is much more popular...

 

[leesmapman]

MGSPO+ will be bomba total. I don't think the original even sold many to begin with,

Didn't Konami had to make more of the game because of the high demand?

 

[Lobster]

Thanks.

I raise my prediction to 150k.

 

[Kyoufu]

My bomba totals;

MGPO+: 30k first week, 65k LTD :lol I'm being harsh I know, but I just have this feeling I'm going to be right.

Mario Strikers: 120k first week, 280k LTD (I have no idea really)

DW: Katana 65k first week, 110 LTD (I'm probably wrong on this, but everytime I think a new DW edition is shitty and will bomb, out comes the japanese buyers to prove me wrong)

edit: Shit I don't really know anymore regarding Strikers/Katana...

All I know is, MGPO is going to bomb, and Konami will blame Kingd...I mean Crisis Core that it didn't sell.

edit 2: changed some LTD numbers around.

 

[Kiriku]

And it looks like something one of my pet dogs regurgitated.

As someone already pointed it, that's par for the course concerning the series in general.
Also, it's for Wii! Gameplay > Graphics

 

[Frillen]

I predict 110k for Striker's first week.

MGSPO: 40k first week

Wii: 38k
PSP: 90k
DSL: 75k

 

[AniHawk]

My bomba totals;

MGPO+: 30k first week, 50k LTD :lol I'm being harsh I know, but I just have this feeling I'm going to be right.

Mario Strikers: 120k first week, 220k LTD (I have no idea really)

DW: Katana 65k first week, 90k LTD (I'm probably wrong on this, but everytime I think a new DW edition is shitty and will bomb, out comes the japanese buyers to prove me wrong)

edit: Shit I don't really know anymore regarding Strikers/Katana...

All I know is, MGPO is going to bomb, and Konami will blame Kingd...I mean Crisis Core that it didn't sell.

Every one of your "LTD" numbers are far too close to your first week numbers.

 

[Kyoufu]

Every one of your "LTD" numbers are far too close to your first week numbers.

Yeah, I suppose. I'll edit.

Except for MGPO, that one is going to sink faster than the titanic on a cold night.

 

[Lobster]

Wii next week will be over 50k.

 

[Izzy]

Oh yeah, Wii numbers too. What kind of bump will it receive from the simultaneous Strikers and Katana release? 50k? More?

 

[Kyoufu]

Oh, yeah Wii numbers too. What kind of bump will it receive from the simultaneous Strikers and Katana release?

Wii will be 40k, no more, no less.

Its PSP Slim that will be up there methinks.

 

[DefectiveReject]

Or you're telling everyone else how better you are.

1-0 to the Hawk


What happened to the tickling guy?

 

[Laguna]

CESA released a comparison of how many games (in %) were presented this year (/last year) at TGS.

Plattform / 2007 in procent / 2006 in procent
NDS: 17,1 % (10,4 %)
Wii: 8,1 % (1,0 %)
PS2: 7,2 % (20,1 %)
360: 4,9 % (4,0 %)
PS3: 3,2 % (3,6 %)
PSP: 2,6 % (6,6 %)
GC: 0,2 % (0,4 %)
GBA: 0,0 % (0,4 %)

 

[Frillen]

You know what the biggest surprise is? The Wii started to slow down first in Japan.

I seriously thought the hype would first slow down in Europe, then NA and finally Japan.

 

[HyperionX]

Me too. I thought that the Wii will slow down in the West first, and then in Japan. But then again, with the DS/Wii fever biggest in Japan, it has the furthest to fall.
