Sold more copies than what had been made heheduckroll said:
I wonder how close the different trackers usually are to the actual sold numbers. In this case, being 20k-30k (not sure how much the game has sold in 2011) off the mark is not that bad in my opinion, especially when we are talking about a million copies. A bit "pity" that it is over tracked though, since then it looks more funny hehe. Had it been 20k under tracked, then maybe we wouldnt have though so much about it.

So tell me is Innocent Sin doing well in first week sales compared to past SMT titles?

I was actually thinking about this some days ago, if a new Brain Training game will be made for the 3DS. And if it does, will it have as much effect on the 3DS and it had on the DS, or has Brain Training played it's part. I guess that the game can still sell quite well, but will it be just as successful as the previous games were.Orgen said:Remember! We'll talk about this when Brain Training 3DS launches (or one month after launch, better

There are definitely plenty of factors against the 3DS right now.
The economy was shook up by the disaster.
PSP is still getting a lot of support and consistent releases.
3DS has yet to have a really large product come out that isn't available elsewhere.
Personally, as long as there isn't a major Nintendo product on the 3DS and as long as games keep coming to PSP on a near weekly basis, the 3DS will perform slowly compared to the DS.

Maybe I'll make a Sales-Age bet with someone on 8-4 play
Also, I love that I took the pic of Yamane-san in your avatar. She looks so glamorous!

US numbers PW64 ~485k so it's definitely a franchise that makes more sense globally.

Mercenaries will outsell DOA and maybe One Piece. I don't see any of these really driving hardware themselves, but a fuller schedule certainly can't hurt.duckroll said:

We (Chris (*) and I) discussed this two or three weeks ago. The game is announced (Chris can provide you the link) and he thinks the genre is dead and that a new game in the series won't break the 500.000 LTD barrier but I think that it can be a million seller (not 4-5 million like the previous games, but 1-2 millions... yeah, why not?).
So we'll see who is right when the time comes! ;D

And SE are releasing DQ X exclusively for the Wii...each week you sound like a broken record.

4 mil sales isn't likely but 3.5 mil+ is. The Wii has proven it can still sell big games, DQ X should be no exception.

When did 4 million plus become the benchmark for DQ sales? Only DQVII and IX have done 4 Million plus.
Don't worry, DQIX already released for the DS, so that won't happen. DQX however, is exclusive to the Wii, and is almost complete.Bizzyb said:

Lol, I find it funny when I read this and look at your avatar at the same timeTakao said:
About the west, well, I thought that with the way Nintendo helped DQIX, that DQX was also part of the deal? Why would that suddenly change? The Wii isn't doing nearly as bad in the West as in Japan.
Magicpaint said:
No way SE are expecting sale numbers to go down. No one expects a successor to sell less and they need the money.
SE is in a very difficult situation. PSP will die, the Wii is dying much sooner as expected, PS3 still isn't doing good enough numbers, NGP is uncertain... time to put DQ multiplatform. It can't be that hard.

Successors often sell less, this has happened in the FF and DQ series. As long as DQX sells what's respectable for a DQ game (and it should), I can't see any alarm bells ringing.iidesuyo said:

What reason is there for DQ X not to be a success in the West?
iidesuyo said:
Unless they release the game on the DS or even the PSP, DQ X isn't going to sell 4 mil+...
Edit: Also do we really have to have this DQ X conversation each week?

By the time the localization would come out in North America Super Wii2D2 HD will be out. And while it will be BC, it still will be hard to market a niche game on what is an obsolete platform.

Didn't the El Shaddai jeans get a decent amount of press attention, as well as selling out within hours? It might sell pretty good, actually. I can see it doing especially well with women, kinda like Sengoku Basara.
Between the jeans and the cafe, it looks like Ignition's actually trying (which is definitely a change of pace for them). Dunno if they're running normal ads though.
Yes, I know they're men's jeans. It makes sense to me, anyway.

DQ IX sold over a mil in NA and EU...it's not going to suddenly be ignored just because it's on the Wii as long as it's marketed well, which it should. And what, are the 75 mil or so people who own a Wii outside of Japan obsolete? Wii 2 should only help its sales because it'd be a good game to make use of the Wii 2's BC.

I seriously doubt Z2-2 will not be out in consumer's hands by this time next year at the latest. Everything they've done with it makes it very clear that this was designed with being a two parter in mind.

Nice to see Dynasty Warriors 7 almost surpassing 6. It's the best DW in a long time, and I'd like to see it break 500,000. It would be nice to see it sell as well as 5 (~918,000). Though I can't expect it to break a million like 4 and 3.
