Am I reading this right? Versus has more preorders than XIII-2?

Just Dance is a very casual focused title, where as that AKB48 game borders on Creepville. One of those demographics rather just stroll in to a store and pick something up off of the rack, rather than preorder it.
Though, once JDWii sells like 500k it'll just show how useless SCEJ is once again. SCEE has 2 dance games they didn't localize, and of course Singstar. You'd think it would be a snap too, given Sony Music Japan ...

don't read too much into those numbers, they don't mean much, unless you expect 3G to have been ordered almost 3 times the XIII-2, and even if true, it is going to sell 3 times...vicissitudes said:

I want him to start adding amazon daily charts.
What schuelma said.
Basically, it is useful to see how anticipated is a certain game
1)from a well known series
2)with certain charachteristics that make it """core"""
And, above all, there is always one thing to remember: games on Sony consoles obtain more preorders than ones on Nintendo hardware (even if it is the same), because their audience is more "expert" ( and a certain meme comes to mind,lol) and preorder more.
Instead, casual games aren't preordered a lot. Usually, they start appearing right the last 5 days before release.
For example, Wii Party did only 50pt of preorders, and then, in the weekly chart, it was at 320pt. It works in a different way.
However, I thought posting them once ( twice maximum) a week would have been useful, I didn't want to create such a great confusion, sorry

Harvest Moon is early 2012 too. Soft-wise it really does look good for the 3DS - i still wonder when Nintendo will be ready to put out a revised hardware. They still need a streamlined 3DS which looks more elegant in my opinion.

Sell out + maxed out for Nintendo's current production limit would be the ideal scenario for them. It'll create "artificial demand", not sure it'll actually happen though, depends entirely on how the big guns push the system over time.LOCK said:
After a slow start, 3DS ends up with the best 1st year lineup in the history of handhelds. It may take a while for some to realize it, but by february new 3DS buyers will have hits in most genres to choose from.guek said:
Hope Level 5 games are planned for 2012 in the west as well.

What happened to Brain Training games or the so called non-games? I think that those games catapulted the DS to the far reaches of space. Hope the 3DS will get its Brain Age

We are on the eve of new Sony hardware. No matter which titles are released on a competing system it will always have 'no games' until the hype settles for the new Playstation.

But I thought the PS3 haz no gaemz. Spreading FUD is a tried-and-true fanchild tactic, is far from exclusive to Sony fanchildren and will be with us long after the forum format has ceased to exist.jeremy1456 said:
I've noticed the prevalence of list wars in Vita hype threads and 3DS bashing threads, all of which are padded or deflated according to whatever agenda the poster is pushing. We won't know until they release, but my feeling is that at least half of the games on those lists will either be vapourware or not worth playing in retrospect.
You can practically hear the wardrums of 2004/2005 starting up afresh.

Cool. Monster Hunter Portable The 3rd Best moved up, was a bit concerned with the seemingly low first week numbers.
