ROCK ON, BDFF

 

[watershed]

[NDS] Style Savvy (Nintendo) - 86.446 / 891.076 / 9,70% 23/10/08

I'd be really surprised if the 3ds version ends up reaching this number. Would be an amazing sign that Nintendo hasn't lost its casual market if it did happen.

 

[MagiusNecros]

ROCK ON, BDFF

The Superstar class gains a whole new meaning.

 

[Gacha-pin]

Does the Japanese public like RE6?

At least Biohazard 6 PS3 version is playable...

 

[Allan Holdsworth]

How well do you think Wii would be doing in the US if it was still $199?

Different markets, US is way more price sensitive than Japan. Also Japan still gets the more expensive to produce original Wii model.

 

[NeonZ]

He he, we wont :-D

Spoiler

I'm kidding

I find it surprising that sales patterns are so evidently close to past entries for both sequels. Has there ever been some kind of "Project X" earlier in the japanese vg history? I don't know, something along the likes of Jump Super Stars.

Project X is pretty much Namco vs Capcom 2 in all but name, even the original characters reated for NvC are in PXZ too.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

I'm half expecting Hino to pull another LBXW and roll out a Wii U version of IE Strikers Go for the holiday. Nintendo seems to like 3rd party SD port ups anyway (MH3G, DQX).

 

[saichi]

Tousouchuu is gonna outsell Miku and P4G... that's impressive

Vita needs:

Monster Hunter vs. Final Fantasy vs. MIKU: AKB Fanservice Edition

Other than that.. I don't know what can "save" them.

Brilliant idea

 

[Baconsammy]

Out of respect for Sony's wishes, I'm biting my tongue until December 26th.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Project X is pretty much Namco vs Capcom 2 in all but name, even the original characters from that game apparently are here too.

More like NxC 4

You have:

NxC
SRW EF
SRW EF: Exceed
PxZ

 

[Exterminieren]

Does the Japanese public like RE6?

The Japanese public likes Japanese games, frankly.

Out of respect for Sony's wishes, I'm biting my tongue until December 26th.

Vita's already had its first Christmas in Japan. Despair away.

 

[Mileena]

At least Biohazard 6 PS3 version is playable...

I own Dishonored and RE6 on PS3. How is Dishonored unplayable? No sliding into cover?

 

[MagiusNecros]

Out of respect for Sony's wishes, I'm biting my tongue until December 26th.

Ripping it out would probably be the end result.

[NDS] Style Savvy (Nintendo) - 86.446 / 891.076 / 9,70% 23/10/08

Thanks. That's a pretty high bar to jump and I doubt it will reach those numbers.

 

[-Eddman-]

Good numbers for Bravely Deafault. Hopefully this encourages Square-Enix to put more original games on 3DS and nice 3D remakes of Final Fantasy V and VI

Type 0. 3DS.

I will not be silent.

Sony's holiday sales are going to make things even worse.

You don't have to. Vita already have its first Christmas last year in Japan..

Do you have a JP version? It hangs up every ten minutes. Beth's magic for PS3 still continues in Japan lol

 

[allan-bh]

[3DS] Tousouchuu: Shijou Saikyou no Hunter-Tachi Kara Nigekire!

I don't know this game, but it debuted with 30k and now is close to 200k. Nice legs.

 

[Currygan]

excellent start for BD. Nex week will probably see a huge drop but I think it'll end up at 400k in Japan


Vita reminds me of this

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

I think Bravely Default will be localized, but I'm not so confident about Project X Zone. I want both so badly.

 

[CronoShot]

Longer even. You have to back to Radiata Stories in January 2005 to get a higher debut. And before that Kingdom Hearts in 2002, though I think a good argument can be made against any game starring Mickey Mouse being a "New IP" really.

Interesting. How did Radiata Stories end up doing?

 

[MagiusNecros]

I think Bravely Default will be localized, but I'm not so confident about Project X Zone. I want both so badly.

Considering NxC's track record I'm worried too.

 

[Parakeetman]

I think it was 150k. Even that more conservative number is unrealistic for them. They should change their name and actually develop some quality product.

Id rather just see the whole company go under. Since the last thing we need is for them to go and waste another license like what they did with Black Rock Shooter. Not to mention the horrid redesign that happened to 7th Dragon.

 

[Jaruru]

Vita 6.134 lowest ever?
confirmed death?

nice number for 3DS though

 

[KillerTravis]

I guess I just gave Japan too much credit. Dishonored is not a game that should sell under 10k in any place that likes good games.

Same could be said about some japanese games that fail in te west. It's just different cultures.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Vita 6.134 lowest ever?

The PS Mortis died already. It just hasn't shut down completely yet.

 

[vareon]

To think that we have confirmation of Tokitowa's English release but not Bravely Default is kinda absurd.

Id rather just see the whole company go under. Since the last thing we need is for them to go and waste another license like what they did with Black Rock Shooter. Not to mention the horrid redesign that happened to 7th Dragon.

I thought both were quite good? And what happened with 7th Dragon 2020 (IIRC)?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

How does BD:FF stack up as a new IP debut?

Vita YTD 568.267
3DS LL YTD 744.117

It's almost too cruel.

to be fair you must not judge the LL before its first xmas man.

It's crazy to think Dreamcast was performing better at this point.

 

[Mpl90]

Comgnet's little corner

[PS3] Tales of Xillia - 782pt
[PS3] Tales of Xillia 2 - 415pt

[Wii] Animal Crossing: City Folk - at highest 53pt for both SKUs ( probably more around 80pt)
[3DS] Animal Crossing: Jump Out - 233pt

[PSP] Little Battler Xperience - 109pt
[PSP] Little Battler Xperience W - 68pt
[PSV] Little Battler Xperience W - less than 27pt

I was thinking maybe that's a bit unrealistic but perhaps not depends how much shortages effected it

 

[Boss Doggie]

How does Project X Zone's first week sales compare to NxC, Frontier, and Frontier Exceed?

 

[Oxx]

Will BD pass the LanceStern test?

Hopefully, if it has legs.

Animal Crossing should destroy this holiday. Might get away with highest software LTD on the 3DS until Monster Hunter 4 comes.

 

[zroid]

BDFF-type games don't usually have long legs but being a new IP and apparently affected by shortages, word of mouth may take it a bit farther.

 

[Vinnk]

I was thinking maybe that's a bit unrealistic but perhaps not depends how much shortages effected it

I know Amazon sold out and some of the large big city shops but I can still get it at every shop in my city that I was in this week. I'd say if anything, it's "mildly supply constrained in certain areas" This is nothing like Final Fantasy III or Joker.

 

[frankie_baby]

I could easily see AC over 2 million by the end of the year

 

[P90]

The PS Mortis died already. It just hasn't shut down completely yet.

It isn't looking good for the Vita. I'm still gonna put on my happy face of denial and hope those funky Japanese niche titles still make it to production.

Solid 3DS numbers.

 

[MagiusNecros]

I hope it does better too, a couple buddies of mine were wondering about it.

 

[Aostia]

I still have some doubts about it. Seeing it performing so well would be a signal, imho, compared to 3DS software sales compared to DS ones.

 

[smbu2000]

I guess I just gave Japan too much credit. Dishonored is not a game that should sell under 10k in any place that likes good games.

Well the 360 version of Dishonored is an Amazon JP exclusive and whatever stock they had of it sold out as the next shipment isn't due until Nov. 2nd.

I saw a commercial for it when I was watching an NFL game (via nfl game pass) and I thought it looked interesting. I may pick up the 360 version myself from Amazon JP when they get more in stock.

 

[ffdgh]

Oh vita.......

 

[ohlawd]

Really happy about those Bravely Default sales.

 

[Father_Brain]

It isn't looking good for the Vita. I'm still gonna put on my happy face of denial and hope those funky Japanese niche titles still make it to production.

Solid 3DS numbers.

I could definitely see Vita being in a DC/360-like situation, where it continues to get a trickle of niche/otaku titles for a number of years despite being irrelevant (if not outright dead) in the broader market.

 

[Kerub]

I wonder when Vita will drop below 5000 units?

 

[GCX]

Animal Crossing will do big numbers, Nintendo seems to be preparing quite a marketing push for it.
