Sweet jesus.... I didn't except sales to be that good, but that feels like a new level of bomba.
all eyes on bayo2

 

[Exterminieren]

I'm just grinning from ear to ear right now.

What a great week for vindication.

NintendoGAF will be no where to be found in this thread, rofl.

This is a mature attitude. Well done you.

Wonderful BOMBA, 5k LMAO

I'm just grinning from ear to ear right now.

What a great week for vindication.

[TangerineCloud]

Damn, I thought The Wonderful 101 was just the title. At this rate, it's probably a prediction of the game's NPD numbers.

 

[sajj316]

It's a huge percentage drop though even more than wiiu

but up YOY .. marginally

 

[The Boat]

I'm just grinning from ear to ear right now.

I don't know what's sadder, the sales or this.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

Someone said Conception II got an initial shipment of 60K. Was that accurate?

 

[Aostia]

so sad.
I think that now we can finally accept the idea that Wii U will really be dismissed if few months. there is no excuse for such a horrible result for the new game and the related hw.
I know that other games will be more important and register better numbers and have bigger impact, but heer we are talking about absymal response.
and it's not that Pikmin (that sold around 500k average on the GC, right?) was so stronger (with different tone, of course)
after their best console ever (the Wii, sales wise), it's now sure that they will have their worst (so below GC - 4.5millions in Japan and arouond 25millions ww, right?)

 

[Kikujiro]

I hope people will stop thinking that Nintendo Directs are a great way to make the public aware of games. They are not and they will never be.

 

[Somnid]

This is one of those "Japanese gaming is dead" moments, isn't it?

 

[Bo130]

It looks like almost everyone who bought The Wonderful 101 sold their Wii U at the same time, hahaha

 

[Jonboy]

Ouch.

WHAT THE FUCK BAHAHA.

(Also more pervs/creepers on Vita)

 

[Sakura]

Dang only 11k for the Vita? It's been sitting at 15~+k for the last couple months hasn't it? Is this the lowest since the price drop? Also, too bad about W101 sales. I am sorry Kamiya.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

No one should be surprised at the Wonderful BOMBA.

 

[SmokyDave]

Two Vita games in the top 5?!

Vita / 3DS multiplat sells far better on Vita?!

Magnificent week.


(I'm choosing to ignore the Vita hardware numbers and the fact there are only two Vita games in the top 20).

How could I miss this glorious act of fanboyism.

Also, hats off to you mod-team, you got him quickly!

 

[Spieler Eins]

B-but Nintendo gave 101 a Direct show, who needs marketing?
Everyone expwcted a bomb, but this is really fucking low.

 

[Principate]

holiday to non holiday drop .. let's keep this about W101

More like back to normal level it was around that before the last few games drop and holidays.

 

[That1BlackGuy]

Platinum is cursed... I don't know what to say.

 

[Lexxism]

Damn W101.

 

[ElTorro]

14./00. [WIU] The Wonderful 101 <ACT> (Nintendo) {2013.08.24} (¥6.830) - 5.258 / NEW

Damn&#8230; that game deserves better.

 

[liger05]

Woah what a bomba. Thats huge!!! To not even sell 10k is incredible.

So whats the next game which is supposed to drive wii u sales. Wind Waker?

 

[Nibel]

The sad thing is: it will sell this

many units in the rest of the world

 

[AranhaHunter]

Could Vita head to ~10K and WiiU to ~5K in the next couple of weeks?

 

[metalslimer]

This is one of those "Japanese gaming is dead" moments, isn't it?

More like wiiu is dead. mega bomb after mega bomb. At this point it sees doubtful 3d world opens above 200k

 

[Raysoul]

Such a shame for such a good game.

 

[Exterminieren]

Weren't 3 times as many copies of Conception printed for Vita than for 3DS? The split makes sense.

 

[RurouniZel]

Japan eats shit confirmed.

Spoiler

This is just a joke based on that twitter quote from Kamiya.

 

[urfe]

I didn't make a prediction, but as a person who is not interested in buying W101, I can't say I'm surprised.

Conception II's sales are the most interesting thing about this week's sales. It may lead to more Vita games.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Those W101 sales well, errm... wow. I knew Platinum games didn't sell gangbusters but, oh man.

 

[darkstar0155]

What a great shame for Wonderful 101. Worse than expected.
Time to re-release it with an all-star Nintendo cast.

Spoiler

Wonder Red = Captain Falcon
Wonder Blue = Link
Wonder Green = Samus
Wonder Yellow = Mario (because of the hammer)
Wonder White = Shiek
Wonder Black = Lakitu
Wonder Pink = Bayonetta (or so)

well it definately would have sold better

 

[SolidSnakex]

Is that the lowest debut for a Platinum developed title? I figure Anarchy Reigns was the previous holder of that and it managed to sell 21 on the PS3 (and an additional 4k on the 360).

 

[Shantom]

The Wonderful 101 gave WiiU a reverse bump.

Also, W101 has an attach rate of 1:20

1:200

 

[ZoddGutts]

W 101 barely outselling Conception 2 3DS version is lol worthy.

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

Is there an alternate universe where GAF's opinions are shared by the average person?

 

[FlynnCL]

| PSV | 11.507 | 19.363 | 10.880 | 677.173 | 455.378 | 1.807.998 |

I wasn't expecting such a huge drop considering it even has 2 new titles this week.

14./00. [WIU] The Wonderful 101 <ACT> (Nintendo) {2013.08.24} (¥6.830) - 5.258 / NEW

What?! Oh dear...

This about sums it up.

 

[Radec]

Was there a heatwave in Japan this week ?

Where's that heatwave guy ?

 

[Asd202]

Well I guess Nintendo fans don't want new Ips they rather play Mario and Zelda over and over

Spoiler

.

 

[Principate]

Could Vita head to ~10K and WiiU to ~5K in the next couple of weeks?

Depends if Vita gets games or not, wii u could happen regardless.

 

[Somnid]

More like wiiu is dead. mega bomb after mega bomb. At this point it sees doubtful 3d world opens above 200k

I only count 2 bombs, this and Wario.

 

[shink]

I like your selective positivity.

Disgusting.

Still, fuck this market. Oh well, we did get to play it.

 

[cafemomo]

I knew it was gonna flop, but only 5K? Got dang

 

[Fisico]

Someone said Conception II got an initial shipment of 60K. Was that accurate?

Yes, but it was only the shipment for the Vita version, the 3DS got a 30k one.

 

[Magicpaint]

Someone said Conception II got an initial shipment of 60K. Was that accurate?

60k for Vita and 30k for 3DS. Crazy retailers ordered too many copies for a game where the last entry sold about 50k LTD.

 

[Canis lupus]

I'm wondering how Kamiya reacted to these numbers.

 

[Majmun]

I only count 2 bombs, this and Wario.
