What "we know" and "what SE expected" are two different things.
The Mario Maker sales are annoying. I love the Wii U game but the 3DS version strips the feature that made it truly great (online level sharing). I kind of wish Nintendo were being punished for that so they realized it was a bad call but I guess not.
So we cant comment on MC performance anymore without waiting for FY results ? Come on...everyone knows how expensive FFXV was - the demos, anime, movie, mobile games and other tie-ins all cost money as well. Even stuff like Type 0-HD were all put in place to get the current-gen market ready for the big FFXV release - so i doubt thats all SE expected when they greenlit all those projects leading up to FFXV.
I mean... A project 10 years in the making with insane amount of marketing tie-ins and expensive side projects. Do you honestly think Square Enix expects it to sell less than FF XIII?
and how expensive FFXV was? Any numbers provided by SE?
Also, without actual WW LTD numbers we can't be sure how bad/well FFXV is performing.
Great sales for 3ds and Mario maker. Really surprised with the latter after its launch but I guess you can't go wrong with Mario.
PS4 still holding strong and I am sure there were many that did not expect it to sell near 1.8 million at the beginning of this year.
I thought minecraft vita retail was very close to 1 million?

It has shipped around 1.1 million in Japan and 'Hundreds of Thousands' in China and this includes digital as well.Well i guess it's safe to assume FFXV is already platinum counting all of Asia+digital.
A largely open world game on a platform that hasn't had any million seller yet? There is no way they had sky high expectations for Japan.
I see we're at Asia/West/digital saviors yet again. Do we really have to do this in every MC thread?

Miitopia got additional shipments by the way.
A 50% drop next week and then a 20% rise the week after to collapse after that
Where do you think Miitopia will end up? Is the 3DS still going to continue selling strong throughout 2017?

What if Miitopia LTD ends up higher than FFXV's ?
Anything is possible at that point.
Depends on how long it takes for the Japanese market to collapse. All eyes are on the Switch now.I wonder if PS4 can beat PS3 LTD.
PS3 didn't have Dragon Quest, we'll see.
It would need the same legs as Animal Crossing, and I'm not convinced it's going to get them yet.
3DO was manufactured and sold by Matsushita/Panasonic (and to a much lesser extent Sanyo) in Japan.Has anything mainstream ever failed this hard, I want to say 3DO maybe, but that wasn't really a contender from day 1.

Final shipment in Japan was 770K which is much higher than what XBO will land in the end (less than 100K?).
Atari Jaguar and Bandai/Apple Pippin performed worse than XBO in Japan.
PS3 didn't get mainline DQ but it has gotten every spinoff PS4 did so far.I wonder if PS4 can beat PS3 LTD.

Prediction League December 2016 Results
lol same story every year, here we are again, colapse this and that haha
Never stop, never stop.
I think a better comparison would be Tomodachi Collection (the first one). New IP, released 5 years into the NDS life, and slow start but legs got it to 3.5 million in Japan.
Miitopia is a more attractive product IMO. But I don't know if the 3DS user base has the same leg power potential at this point.
More 3DO units were shipped in Japan than outside it, probably because Panasonic was the major hardware backer.Wow thanks, didn't realise people had actually bought them over there.
Never heard of the Pippin, I'll go read up on that.
lol same story every year, here we are again, colapse this and that haha.
This year performance already put PS4 over PS3 for at least next year.I wonder if PS4 can beat PS3 LTD.
PS3 didn't have Dragon Quest, we'll see.
This year performance already put PS4 over PS3 for at least next year.
Let's see how it performs next year
I believe 2017 lineup is better than 2016 in Japan.
3DS is bucking the trend there at least. Only platform with growth this year, thanks mobile!If you want to see collapse this quarter you just have to look at west. Things at December won't be better than November.
Switch will be lucky to match half the sales of 3DS and PS4 will need a market that can survive until 2020 to sell 10 million like PS3.If PS4 matches PS3 and Switch matches 3DS their combined sales will just about beat the original DS. There will be nothing to make up the sales of other stuff.

Only if you look at it without context. Fallout 4, Black Ops 3 and Battlefront were huge. There's nothing comparable to that this year.If you want to see collapse this quarter you just have to look at west. Things at December won't be better than November.
Switch will be lucky to match half the sales of 3DS.
I mean... A project 10 years in the making with insane amount of marketing tie-ins and expensive side projects. Do you honestly think Square Enix expects it to sell less than FF XIII?
So what just because mobile is bigger means that HW will die?
