soul sacrifice has a very grotesque looking art style that limits it's appeal, this is not a problem for freedom wars. I also highly doubt that any one title can "save" any console.
Huge success for Spike Chunsoft.

What's Toukidan? Is it like Dynasty Warriors, arena hack-slash game or more like Ninja Gaiden, linear levels with hack-slash?
Any chance it'll be localized?

I hope not... the demo was really impressive. Beautiful and very technically competent, one of the best looking games on 3DS. Recreates the style and atmosphere of 2D games like Mother or Pokemon and brings it to life in 3D. Great use of 3D for exploration and touch mechanics for battles. It feels simple yet deep.
One of the rare cases where a demo instantly convinced me to buy a game. Level 5 utilize the 3DS features better than even Nintendo.
I'm glad you used the Mother and Pokémon comparisons. I see both in it too. Such an amazing charming game (from the demo). Really hard to predict sales for it. I guess anywhere between Girls RPG and Fantasy Life!

Wow 30k+ for Vita and Toki doing 120k+. Seems like Vita can be a viable handheld in Japan if they release some software for it.
I'm looking forward to how GT6 does on the PS3 this year.

Huh, PSP version is no slouch either.

Expected, but they've announced 3DS bundles to go with Pokémon X and Y.
Will the Pokémon Centre edition contribute to the recorded sales, do we know? I mean, I have to assume it'll be heavily limited anyway, but I was just wondering if it was tracked.

If VITA continues receiving all these games that sell 300K, it will not sell over 6 mil in Japan based on current rend. It needs a game changer, like a MH on PSP game changer. Freedom Wars will not be that title as SCEJ never made one huge title in Japan.
And no, GT5 was not huge. GT is no longer "huge" in Japan after the performance of GT PSP and GT5.
nobody said a title would "save" VITA. Selling over 6 mil doesn't mean VITA is saved.
You are the one who suggested Freedom Wars should be a "huge game" which I disagree with unless the definition of "huge game" is selling 300K.
i am amazed at how confident you are about freedom wars that you don't even give the remote possibility that it could become a huge ip. i bet all big ips just started off selling millions. i am not saying freedom wars will be a huge ip but just dismissing it isn't exactly an opinion especially when we haven't seen much about the game. but then again a lot of people deal in absolutes in here.
vita is dead. there is just no coming back
MH is 3ds now. there is no way it is coming on vita.
SCEJ never made a huge title. GT wasn't huge the last time around so it is no longer huge no matter what they do.
It's a feudal Japan hunting action game vs. demons. Confirmed for localization this year.

Well I don't think people are saying dead anymroe (that's for the west), but based on the current lineup that honestly isn't going to change because no one is going to make a huge title for Vita with its current sales worldwide it's not going to end up becoming a decent selling platform (although 6 million is lot more decent than I would have said a year ago).
As for MH on Vita, anyone who is still delusional enough to be riding this train as some kind of hope really needs to go sit down and realize that it's just not happening. Oh and shocking news but Bioshock Vita is never coming out.
Allan Holdsworth
Member
No, and it wouldn't make a difference anyway.
It should easily reach 250-300k when all is said and done, not bad for the developers...
wait did i mention anything about bioshock vita? i am not sure if that reply is meant for me. yea i highly doubt bioshock vita is coming out either and probably never even existed i am still not convinced that MH for vita is not happening but whatever i am not going to discuss it any further until we get any kind of info for the next game after 4 anyways so don't attack me!
Yes.
Its going to smash it.
I'm not going to say MH is coming to Vita because there is no chance of that happening at the moment but I do agree with the sentiment that people need to stop speaking in so many absolutes when nobody here has any background to make any in the first place. This was the same thread that was hyping Wii U when it was first announced and now look at where we are 8 months later.
Gianni Merryman

I reckon that's within the realm of possibility, either way every sign so far brings me to think the game is going to do well.
If Nintendo can ship enough copies, yes.
Odds are they won't -- gotta push those downloads.
So when is it OK to speak in absolutes? There is always a chance of anything happening. But if the odds are pretty much 99(.999999999)% in favor of something happening, is it OK to speak in absolutes?
If someone speaks in absolutes, the worst that can happen is that they're wrong. Is that going to affect them in anyway? May affect the perception of their predictions or something, but we've got many people who guess the numbers wrong in prediction leagues in the MC threads and the NPD threads. It may lead to stifled discussions though, but is there any point in discussing very unlikely possibilities?
I was a lurker when the Wii U released, but there was very little hyping in the MC threads. It pretty much was exactly like this thread where people were happy with the sales of the Wii U in the beginning, but that soon fell off a cliff. That other thread where "Why wouldn't the Wii U dominate Japan thread?" was what was "hyping" up the Wii U's performance in Japan.
Oh yea...they have to make enough carts for the international release.

How are you guys so sure that XY can best BW? Not that I wouldn't like that, but DS base was massive when BW came out.

If you don't own a PS3, and you like Gundam games ...
well is it 99% that mh is not coming to vita? the fact of the matter is capcom is third party and they have not come out and said anything along the lines of it possibly not ever coming to vita. like i said it is unlikely at the moment and most probably capcom will stick to its established userbase but it sure as hell is not 99% if thats what you mean to say regarding it.
whatever this is going to escalate to something i don't intend it to. it just bugs me when people speak in absolutes and i was just trying to make a point. i rather people just make predictions and discuss possible outcomes not just say something is not happening or is happening as an absolute unless you know something that the rest don't.
It has as big a chance as I win lottery tomorrow which means nothing. We are back to this discussion of "there is always a chance for something to happen and you can never say never". There is a chance for anything to happen in the world. Some people even won lottery twice but the chance for it to happen is super slim.
Have you checked how many franchise since 2000 went on to sell over 1 million in Japan when the first game in the franchise not selling 500K? One. Inazuma Eleven. Luigi's Mansion would be the second one if Luigi's Mansion 3DS hit 1 mil.
Have you checked how many franchise since 2000 went on to sell over 1 million in Japan when the first game in the franchise selling between 500K-1mil? Two. MHP and KH which KH2 was barely over 1 mil.
So what reason would I have to expect a title from a studio that never proved they can produce big hit in Japan to become a huge game? The chance for it to catch lightening in the bottle is as good as any other title released on VITA which is slim to none. Yes, no one expected MHP to blow up like it did but it doesn't mean every title would be a hopeful to become a huge hit.

Eeesh, that is a worrying start for Escha & Logy. Weird, too, because the game apparently did real well in the review circuit. I figured it would at least do Ayesha numbers.
I wonder if franchise fatigue is setting in again after the burst of activity during the Arland years. Koei ain't gonna be happy if the numbers slump...

I think it's somewhat ridiculous to expect people to preface every single one of their opinions with a disclaimer that it is not 100%. Obviously no one can tell the future and we are just guessing.
Oh and while obviously many people overestimated the appeal that NSMBU+MH3U+DQX would have I don't think there were many people in this thread at least expecting the system to take off into the sky with the looming bad 3rd party support on the wall last year.
And just for fun here is an absolute, neither Wii U nor Vita will reach half of their predecessors LTD.

This is Sega's doing, right? It's still weird, but if it's Nintendo using a Yakuza demo instead of their other games... why.

Not much else to promote, there will be 2 weeks after yakuza for demoing w101 stuff then another month after that for wwhd. The rest of the stuff in that time is random western localisations.
Doesn't seem like a bad idea to get more of a presence for the system as advertising starts to increase.

Ah ok, i understand =) I wonder if the delay is because they are adding online play (i saw some comment earlier that online play wasnt initially planned for God Eater 2).
That is a great success. I never thought that this game would sell that much in Japan.
I dont think we know how many of those digital download sales that comes from the cards being sold in stores (which Famitsu includes in this 3.66 million number). But i think it is a fair chance that it is above 4 million now, i agree.
So Nintendo x Platinum doesn't sound like it's on the verge of a decades long super-partnership or an imminent buyout: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=614076
However, even if Nintendo stops publishing Platinum games after Bayonetta 2, I'm not sure that would have any negative effect on the platform given that Bayonetta 2 would pretty much attract any Platinum Games fans who were willing to buy a Wii U anyway.
