Media Create Sales: Week 34, 2013 (Aug 19 - Aug 25)
- Thread starter Chris1964
- Start date
Unfortunately it seems they just priced the Deluxe at the Basic price and there's no $250 version.
Edit: And it's... effective September 20th? Well, I guess Wii U sales will be zero for the next few weeks...

so do you think they will make a new circle pad pro for this new abomination or what?
Wow this would be such a horrible decision. Not only is the game really far along but to cancel a game for a system that is low on games in the first place?
Wow, just wow.
Wonder if Japan will follow suit even though I believe the price was a bit more competitive compared to the West.
The last update for Luigi's Mansion VS Donkey Kong Returns.
LM2 will win in the long run for sure. Who is doubting the million now?

yeah it's essentially just a sort of like a bundle, I mean you usually don't pay an extra 50 for console + game over just the console.
I understand there is more "value" than just the game in the premium pack but 20 gigs of space isnt that big a deal.
I agree Iwata is horrible at presenting. But to rely on Nintendo Direct as your saving grace is idiotic. Everybody already knows the only people who watch the streams are the most dedicated of fans aware of what to expect already.
I think the more important implication is Nintendo admitting that 3D is failed gimmick and whether they'll do the same or not with Wii U and the gamepad.
Edit: there's a thread about this: www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=663789

Terrible sales for Disorder 6, the 360 version didn't even made it into the top 30. 
Poor 5pb.

I think microsoft will drop kinect before nintendo even thinks about dropping the gamepad.
So this time next year, 6 months after MS drops kinect there will be an announcement of the wii2u with no gamepad and $200

Ouch, poor TW101. Wasn't expecting it to sell boat loads, but wasn't expecting such low numbers. Seems like all hardware has suffered from a post-Obon drop too.
Vita numbers aren't too hot either for this week despite a new game being released (but again - Obon may be to blame?).
May have been posted before, but i think this should be the official song for bombas. It's the first thing that comes to mind when I hear the word "Bomb".

All this nintendo info dropping all at once. This stuff would normally be in a direct and it's not like they give alot of lead time between when they anounce the directs and when they broadcast. Wonder why they didn't do one for this stuff.

I'm so sad for W101. It's one of the best games I've played this year .
I love all the little details in the game, it's so funny and fun at the same time. It's Wonderfun !
Wii U <6k... :'(
Sad week for Nintendo (not counting 3DS... Nintendo's savior for 2013 for now).

Honestly I believe they need better marketing campaigns. Most of their titles have the asthetics and quality to sell. They're commercially just being catered to the public in the wrong way.

I'm just going to say why should any 3rd party invest in the Wii U when a 2nd party non-Mario/Nintendo/cliche game just crashed and burned.
Nintendo is beyond Panic mode here, at least when it comes to non-first party software. No one is going to start any Wii U projects any time soon, possibly cancel any that are in the works, and if by God's grace the Wii U turns around, it will be at least a year or two before 3rd party gets back on board. Which would be at best a wasted 4 years for Nintendo.
This situation is quickly becoming "business model changing" bad soon.

Well the 3D World bump to november is good but that doesn't help japan much. I like seeing nintendo take action though even if i think failure is still the future.

I secretly hope that with W101 bombing, Nintendo gives P* this IP and leaves them to do whatever they want with it.
The Wonderful 101 port for PS4/Xbone

Relative to budget I'm honestly struggling to think of bigger flops than 101....this really is one of the biggest sales disasters
distantmantra

It's a Masou Kishin title, a little different from your licensed SRW or general Original Generation titles. It never had the same level of hype behind it.
Now that we finished freaking out about Wonderful 101 can we start talking Vita? Those are dreadful numbers for this week, especially with two new games coming out. It points to the Vita being a very niche product and once that niche audience builds itself up people outside of it have no desire to pick up the system. Sony needs broad appealing titles on the system.
metalslimer
Member
Well there won't be any pricedrops anytime soon so yes software has to do the work. The problem is the best they can do is get ports with ps3/3DS/psp. As long as vita continues to be a port system with no big exclusives it will sell 10k a week with bumps. It will be interesting to see how it does this holiday with the god eater/ffxhd as the big games
This assumes anyone was willing to back them.
This position assumes they didn't try third parties first.
I think Konami would've given them a shot at a new IP after two or three Rising games. I don't think that's a possibility anymore.
I'm not convinced they could employ their entire studio on Rising.
Konami isn't the world's biggest spender when it's not directly from KojiPro.

Right, the only chance the game had was the original vision with nintendo characters.
Oh, I'm certain Platinum will have big layoffs soon. We won't hear about them because they're a Japanese studio and we never hear about their layoffs.

2 days and the game won't even sell 2k next week so don't get too excited because many games only get 2 days
Also its really sad seeing pikmin sales, the ip will probably go back to the vault for at least a gen
Yea. It probably would have done a bit better on platforms with a larger userbase just due to a larger userbase.
