I'm just pointing out how popular it is. Considering how well One Piece Musou did on PS3 it's pretty clear it has a pretty large audience for a wide range of ages.

Indeed, I'm surprised Bandai hasn't flooded the system with more One Piece yet (Gigant Battle 3, Musou Special, etc).Fixed
There were never any DWGs on PSP so I'm thinking there might be an issue there. Gigant Battle 3 is probably on its way.
Not sure if serious...
Will probably be announced in the next couple months and released this november/december.
Was it a study or a survey? One has to question what market would actually respond to a survey.

They were ported to PS2 though. 3DS makes some sense for a OP Musou downport, the platform isn't as limited as PSP was.
god. i wish america got hilarious game titles like this. its like half the reason why i lurk mc threads
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
The game was released in america with that name too, originally. Then they changed the title to "What Did I do to Deserve This, My Lord".
The sales numbers themselves make it pretty obvious. You can't just sell a million copies of a comic book in a week without universal appeal, which is what OP has (though I don't read it since the art style annoys the shit out of me). You could target solely the adult audience, but like most titles you see in a magazine like Afternoon you end up with sales that never really light up.
3DS would still be the ideal candidate for a game with such IP, considering most Nintendo IP's universal appeal, vs Vita which is clearly an enthusiast system at this point.
Over 260k I think?

If Shonen Jump surveys are any indication, a large portion of those results come from school age kids who think they're helping.
Exchange too with only and you're right. Both are heavily paraphrased. Because the title sounds like crap if translated literally. The general notion is that those heroes who invade the devil's lair are "cheeky for being heroes". Yuusha no kuse ni namaiki da.

Fire Emblem continues to hold strong, showing some awesome legs.
How much do you think P4G needs to move hardware for it to be a massive success for Vita? 25k? 30k?

There was one in a recent MC thread. Something along the lines of 'Listen to me, I am your father (even in a game)'. Haha, what a hit.

What happened to Chris 1964? He usually posts the MC threads.

He said that he wont always be able to create the threads in time due to daylight saving (where everything was moved 1 hour ahead).

Sorry if it's been asked and answered before (probably dozens of times) but are digital software sales tracked at all for Media Create, NPD, etc? I have no idea what % of sales digital makes up on the Vita or the PSP, but everyone close to me I know who has a Vita (5 people, lol) have gone digital - myself included. I'm at the point where I don't want to buy any new games for the Vita because my 16 gig card is full and I hate refrigerator management.

Unfortunately not. We must rely on the publishers/developers mentioning how much something sold digitally.
They're not included. There's no easy way to know and numbers are probably vastly different depending on the title. So while some data is missed when ignoring digital sale, discussing them is a bit pointless because it's based on wild guesses most of the time.

That's not the original Japanese title, it's the American title. The Japanese title is more along the lines of "You're awfully impertinent for a hero".

I thought as much but wasn't sure. With the console makers being more and more guarded over their sales in recent years (generally only willing to tout their successes in PR speak and %-increases) I wonder if we'll ever get a more accurate picture of sales than we do now. Consumers are being conditioned more and more to go digital and that's where it appears the market is headed, so there's a chance that every sales report we get is a little bit less accurate than the one before it. Bummer.

I think I just heard Ride of the Valkyries playing in the distance...
P4G this week. Then so far there's nothing big until Hatsune Miku F (which is August I think).
Well there's Time Travelers in July, but it's not exclusive, and it won't be big. Same with MGS collection.

The Behemoth is coming!
Being very conservative I'm expecting at least a 2 million opening, that should be a lock. With that amount it would join the very exclusive club of the 2 million openers.

[PS1] Final Fantasy VII (Square) {1997.01.31} - 2,034,879
We will have to wait until Dragon Quest XI or the next main Pokémon game to see another game with such a huge debut.

How likely is this? I mean, Diamond and Pearl didn't open that big, and those were mainline titles.
Do we have any updates on how BW2 preorders are doing?
Be ready to see a bump. Of the DS. With a 3 before "DS".
Yeah, I'm assuming he'll take it back over with DST ending in October/November timeframe. Just stepping in to help, since I can.
It was "Listen to me girls, even in a video game I am your father!" ... : /

While I think it will be even more front-loaded than Pokemon Black / White I'm not worried about its opening. Even with a reasonable 20% decline it would debut with 2 million units.
Preorders on Comgnet are tracking 30% below the first title.
In Japan the 3DS has fully taken over the DS and DSi lines.
It's America where the release of B2/W2 might make a splash for the OG line.
