Media Create Sales: Nov 2-8, 2009
- Thread starter donny2112
- Start date
I'm just going by the information readily available to see by anyone. The huge difference in number of 2010 targeted releases for all systems is pretty shocking, considering the system has sold this much. It is in last by a good amount (I count 20 total, half 1st party).Hero of Canton said:
To the people who were wondering whether there was a game that launched simultaneously, there are 3 examples but none of them are big titles. I only chose Japanese developed games but the western games sell much better on the HD systems if you wanted to know about those.
X360 2007-12-13 Shikigami no Shiro III Arc System Works 6090 3,074
Wii 2007-12-13 Shikigami no Shiro III Arc System Works 6090 970
PS3 2008-03-13 Winning Post 7 Maximum 2008 Koei 7560 28,873
Wii 2008-03-13 Winning Post 7 Maximum 2008 Koei 7140 1,500
PS3 2009-04-02 Winning Post World Koei 7560 29,570
Wii 2009-04-02 Winning Post World Koei 7140 1,300
The Wii totals (and the 1 X360) are all first week so it isn't the whole picture, but I don't think it would be much more if the data was known.
Monster Hunter 3 has to get rid of the shipment so it will continue selling at a much reduced price.

It has been over 50% off for quite a while which is not good for retailers for such a large seller.

It already fell off the chart once, its lower on the MC chart I think (in the 31-45 range).
But Christmas will probably bring it back in since Wii titles usually get a bump. Its leveled at 3-5k so I guess if the Top 30 is generally shitty we will see it, if the Top 30 is great it will be gone till we get those updates like the Top 100 or 500

As noted earlier, it has stabilised at 5k a week, and holiday sales may bump it a little more. We should still see it for a month or two yet and have some idea of how close it gets to a million before it falls off entirely.

Your total confidence on the PSP userbase not minding being treated like shit does not equal reality. You don't know what will happen or what would have happened otherwise. Also, way preposterous to compare how and when PSP got its current ports to how and when it would get a MH3 one. And its certainly not me showing what strategies should Capcom follow to maximize MH sales, so if anything you should ask yourself why are people here so bent on how Capcom should try to keep MH off PSP as much as possible.BishopLamont said:
Did NSMB ship 6m first day and is still trying to sell through it at reduced prices and not a single subsequent shipment? There's legs, and there's overshipment. You think an overshipped title has legs? Lets see how it sells after the overshipment is sold through.
Mithos said:
Well anecodtally they had to add more servers a month after the game was released, I cannot take my copy online because I do not want to change my Wii Shop Channel to a JP one but I know there are two members who frequent these threads who could give an update.
If I am not mistaken there are still quests going on and Capcom seems intent on pushing the online, at least until the PSP version comes out.

I expect (maybe just due to wishful thinking) one (or two separate, more likely) Persona 2 remakes for PSP before they get to 4, and I think P5 for PSP is practically a lock at this point. :lol
schuelma said:
Really? What's SE's strategy? What's Namco's strategy? What's Konami's strategy?
I don't think almost anyone in Japan has their freaking act together.
7Th said:
I think it would sell dramatically worse now than it would have as an exclusive or simultaneous release.
Jonnyram said:
Uh, his point is pretty obviously that Scamco's mismanagement has turned Tales from a series that sold 6-800k with each installment into a series where breaking 300k with the latest installment was considered a stunning success. :lol
ethelred said:
In fairness, would anybody really be happy if the audience was there for incoherent, poorly thought-out physics-noodling ARPG-esque thingies on the Wii?
Kurosaki Ichigo said:
Referring to the strategy that's made Monster Hunter a bazillion-selling series on PSP (porting proven console titles to it with local multiplayer and added content) "giving [the PSP] the finger" is just kind of dopey.
ethelred said:
Agreed. SE has mostly handled outsourcing in the good way: pairing internal high-level designers and art teams with external coders, drastically increasing the number of games these staff can produce without using up SE's internal development capacity.
When this leads to bad results, you can safely blame the fact that SE has too many high-level designers run amok with terrible ideas, not the quality of the outsourcing. :lol
charlequin said:
Fair point. Strategy isn't the right word (although I would argue that SE has made it clear they are supporting the portables very heavily, if that can be called a strategy).
I guess my point, hopefully phrased better, is that for most individual franchises right now, where they currently reside is where they are going to stay. I hope that made some bit of sense.

I'm not referring to what Capcom did in the past there, I'm referring to the strategies posted here for the future MH releases. Also, Capcom current strategy of throwing PSP a spinoff (god knows when, god knows what it is) with no mention on any port isn't the same strategy they used in the past either.charlequin said:
I don´t know how MHunite was advertised in the USA but here in Europe it got a pretty good ad campaign (tv ads, print mags). Capcom are clever enough to cash in PSP owners money with another MH someday but I´m with markiatsu´s opinion that they may try to strengthen the series on consoles first.

How is the PSP userbase getting treated like shit? It hasn't even been 6 months since MH3 came out, and the home of MH has always been on home consoles. You might think the port it eventually gets equates to being treated like shit, but will the PSP userbase think that? I don't think so. I don't think anyone is trying to keep MH off PSP, merely just stating what Capcom is likely to do. It's in Capcom's nature to port their games to every platform you can think of.Kurosaki Ichigo said:
Well yeah they did overship a bit, but at least it's still selling, and ofcourse after the shipment is sold through it won't sell great anymore, it's only doing 5k a week.
Hahaha, pretty much this.charlequin said:

About next week predictions (input needed)
Oh, given the chance these extra posts give me, what should we do about next week releases predictions? See Christ1964 list and there's nothing really big other than Taiko 2 (and maybe its a slow seller so no big start either). I was thinking either skipping this week or using Taiko 2, Mario & Sonic DS, Dorabase 2 DS and Armored Core PSP. Opinions?

All hard to say, but Dorabase 1 did 96k (in the middle of December), Taiko 115k (start of December) and Mario & Sonic DS did 91k (middle of January). So they could break 50k, but it seems like throwing blind guesses at it. Could be 10% or 100% or those starts.schuelma said:
Capcom is basically following the same release pattern for the original MH for MH3.Nirolak said:
In order to maximize profit:
1. MH3 - Wii
2. MH3 NA - Wii
3. MH3G - Wii
4. MH3GP - PSP/DS2
Past MH/MHG release dates:
MH
JP 2004-03-11 - PS2
NA 2004-09-21 - PS2
MHG
JP 2005-01-20 - PS2
MHP
JP 2005-12-01 - PSP
See the pattern? Releasing MH3GP before MH3G Wii is stupid. Nobody will wanna buy MH3G and pay for online fee when they can get to play ad hoc/online MH3GP for free. Anw I might be wrong too.

Based on this week's Media Create hardware numbers...
DS vs PSP: Weekly shares of 47.3 / 52.7 bring total shares to 68.3 / 31.7. At this week's rates PSP catches up in 3,116.4 weeks (July 31, 2069). If DS stopped selling and PSP continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 315.7 weeks (November 27, 2015).
X360 vs PS3: Weekly shares of 8.7 / 91.3 bring total shares to 23.4 / 76.6. If PS3 stopped selling and X360 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 561.5 weeks (August 13, 2020).
PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares of 60.6 / 39.4 bring total shares to 30.4 / 69.6. At this week's rates, PS3 catches up to Wii in 286.2 weeks (May 5, 2015). If Wii stopped selling and PS3 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 100.1 weeks (October 10, 2011).
Week over week, PSP comes back down, but passes off first place to another member of the Play®Station Family©.
Through the first forty-five weeks of the year, overall sales are down. However, the systems can be split into camps of 3 up and 3 down. Here's how the year-to-date year-over-year percents stand as of now.
Wii: -48.4%
DSL+DSi: +9.0%
PS2: -55.5%
PS3: +52.8%
PSP+PSPGo: -43.3%
X360: +37.8%
Home hardware: -23.2%
Portable hardware: -19.5%
Nintendo hardware: -17.2%
Sony hardware: -28.6%
Sum of all hardware: -20.5%

Yikes at FFCC. It won't do any better in NA either :/
king zell said:
No one should be surprised. One more side game with no hype (and there hasn't been any hype), no excitement, and at TGS there weren't many people playing it or even seeming interested in it. I give them credit for doing something different, though. After playing it myself, I'm not anywhere as hyped up as I was before I played it.

Sucks for FFCC:CB, but after watching a bunch of media and reading previews and impressions I still can't make heads or tails of what exactly the game is supposed to be. They haven't done a very good job defining the product imo.
