yeah man I always knew motion controlz sucked too!
Inazuma a bit expected, but it can recover a lot in the weekend, since it's a game that doesn't have to rely on the short term, being a bit a "casual" game, especially compared to all the other RPGs.
...And its rise could be even better since 3DS will probably see high weekend sales.
About FFXIII-2...eh, expected as well.

If anything, isn't the lesson of this year that OOT sells more in Japan than something else?
EDIT: To compare to other portable ports.
Still, slow start does not necessarily mean bomba nor the kind of talk we are getting in this thread regarding XIII-2 :/

There's a couple dozen lined up.
Would be nice to get some reports on the situation two years ago by comparison.

Skyward Sword numbers threw me off. I could have sworn they were higher in Japan

So maybe DCharlie's 800k bomba bin prediction will come true, only he got the game wrong.
Ok, I laughed at this one. Well played

For a game as good as Gundam Extreme VS is, even with it's arcade popularity, that pricing could have made a big impact on its sell-through. Not bad for Namco at all. I wonder how many total units the game has sold in both Japan and Asia so far.
Capcom really shipped 1 million MH3 with only 325K pre-orders? lol.

Same as XIII-2 essentially?
Nah, it's as irritating as fuck and one of the reasons the media-create threads top out at 200 replies outside of system releases.

It's not like they had a lot of options on the table.
Yes, it's a bad decision, but it was pretty much an inevitable bad decision after all the other screwups they made over the course of this generation backing them into a corner.
well thank god ffxiii-3 will fix all that.
They can also hope to win back some interest in the franchise, assuming FF13-2 is a good game and has positive word of mouth.

Clearly they under shipped this time. They should have followed MH3 example and added 200K to the preorders and shipped that amount.

Seriously?
One's a popular game to play in schools while the other is a popular game to play in schools. No friction there at all.

I was there. That was the line to get into the countdown event. Granted, most people bought the game then and there, but by no means did everyone in there (including myself) buy the title.
Yup. I have almost zero interest in FF13-2 after playing FF13 for about 10 hours and giving up.
but everyone was there for Yuko!
And also brutal comebacks on 3DS
Nintendogs 24th
Pokemon 41st
Zelda 48th
Two things
1)last week's Famitsu data reported a great increase for Rocket Heroes 3, which made it back to 25th position, while for Media Create...it wasn't even in top 50.
Considering how the games from this DQ derivative brand behave, we could probably see it again in top 30. Different trackers are different indeed :lol
2) but no tracker difference can make up for the absence in top 50 of PES 2012, completely destroyed by MH, at this point :lol
Seeing how much high are the numbers, it could have had a Wiiesque debut (7-8k)...and it could have legs.
But, however, great job again, Konami!

On a side note I wanna ask you guys one thing: if FFXIII-2 doesn't sell well, how much your sure it's related to XIII's output and how more related to japanese players loosing interest in home console games? Afterall, Skyward Sword too had low sales and was already a sequel of a great game and even better than the previous one. Ni No Kuni had a bad destiny too. Monster Hunter tri on Wii too didn't achieve the same success of portable versions. And so on.
The point I make then is easy: maybe it's not FF loosing fans, it's japanese players that want their saga to move on portables like Dragon Quest did.

I think, japanese gamers respond to stimuli like all other gamers in the world.
Advertise in famitsu, have a demo, show high production values and a fun gameplay premise and you are set. There's not much you can do, regardless of whether a game is on a handheld or a home console.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Monster Hunter did worse than the Wii game on home consoles before Japan went all handheld to this extent so I don't think that's relevant.
It's just a special case since it exploded when it went portable despite being a PS2 game previously so, it's the social aspect that sells it.
Ni No Kuni doesn't count either since Level 5 games often bomb, I think, while the DS Ni No Kuni game bombed badly too.

2 different genre. And do u know MH is way more popular than MK , right?
We have seen games being successful on the PS3 pretty recently so I don't there's a sudden lack of interest in console release.
Ni No Kuni failed for a few reasons imo... It's targeted at kids on a console not really populated by them, it's by Level-5 after 2 very mediocre ps3 rpgs, it wasn't clearly different in content compared to the DS game...
I think FF XIII soured a lot people and they're not interested in exploring that world further. It's also starring characters that weren't major actors in the first game. (On the other hand FF X is one of the most beloved game in the series and FF X-2 starred its most popular character).

Not really, until recently most of their game were pretty successful. And Ni No Kuni DS didn't bomb, it sold more than 550k(that's huge for a new IP). But it was vastly overshipped (kind of like Mh Tri)
