Nvidia are lucky they can afford to sink money into project like that.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Sales of fellow multiplatform game Lost Planet 3, which was recently delayed to August, are also expected to come in at 1.2 million units.

lol

 

[weevles]

Nintendo sold almost as much Pikmin in a month than they sold Wii Us in a quarter. At least people that own the system are buying the software...hell they may have been starved for Luigi and Pikmin 3....

 

[Randolph Freelander]

See here was the problem:

NSMB2 3DS = Aug 2012
NSMBU Wii U = Nov 2012

TWO brand new games 3 months apart, talk about fatigue.

Now DK is doing it right:

DKCR3D 3DS = March 2013
DKCTF Wii U = Dec 2013

I don't see that as the problem. Other publishers would have just released the same game on handheld and console at the same time and called it a day. At least Nintendo thought to release different games.

This simply ignores the elephant in the room. Nintendo missed on Wii U. Wrong product, wrong price, wrong pitch, wrong time. If Wii U were a healthy platform, NSMBU and other titles would perform better, and the similar games on 3DS wouldn't be scapegoated, and vice versa.

 

[Busaiku]

The other 3 < 10k (total)

Ace Attorney Dual Destinies is too niche for a physical release.

 

[Apophis2036]

OUYA LTD is around 27K for three reporting months.

At least we have one console that's doing worse than the Wii U...

Your constant bad mouthing of WiiU is both tiresome and boring, are you obsessed with seeing it fail ?.

 

[Freezie KO]

I'd hardly call DKCR 3D a remake It's just a port. It shouldn't have much of an effect on Tropical Freeze.

DKC3D won't stop people who already own a Wii U from getting Tropical Freeze, but that number is slim.

Here are a couple examples of people that DKC3D could dissuade from buying Tropical Freeze:

A person who owns a 3DS but not a Wii U. They might have been interested in buying a Wii U for the unique DKC experience, but they just played DKCR and if they wait long enough, they might get a Tropical Freeze port.

A person who is weighing getting either a 3DS or a Wii U and went with a 3DS because it offers the totality of Nintendo experiences including NSMB, 3D Mario, Mario Kart, Donkey Kong Country, and Smash Bros.

The existence of DKC3D is just another game that offers a similar experience to one of Wii U's few key titles and selling points.

Other 3? Lost Planet?

No fucking way man, that would be crazy

And Capcom wonders why they have no money now.

The irony is, even if it did that much in sales, it'd still be a bomba in Capcom's eyes.

[Visualante2]

Hey Creamsugar...what is Splinter Cell Wii U compared to the 360 and PS3 versions?

Forget that those types of games are dead on WiiU, Disney Infinity is the important one.

 

[MechaX]

Lost bomba.

I hope it was fucking worth it, Capcom.

This is a sales thread.

 

[Ridley327]

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that AA5 would have easily trounced LP3's sales in the same time period.

That's pretty cruel man

I'm very interested in Disney Infinity as well.

 

[jay]

are you obsessed with seeing it fail ?.

That's a very easy obsession. Just sit back and watch.

 

[Plinko]

I'm very interested in Disney Infinity as well.

Agreed.

 

[PhantomR]

3DS black ~ 29k
MLDT ~ 173K

Looks like that's just for one SKU....or am I wrong?

Do we have total 3DS numbers yet?

 

[Apophis2036]

I have stock in Nintendo.

How much worth ?.

 

[Yado]

I'd hardly call DKCR 3D a remake It's just a port. It shouldn't have much of an effect on Tropical Freeze.

Ah, right a port.
I think a part of DKCR's success can be attributed to the fact that there hadn't been a DK platformer in a while. Tropical Freeze is going to look less appealing to their audience after the release of a DK platformer earlier in the year, it also doesn't help that there isn't a drastic aesthetic difference.

You have the proposition backwards. Software sells hardware. Sure, Nintendo misfired on the GamePad, but you can't blame intangibles like "wrong pitch" or "wrong time." It's a games console, and it needs unique games to sell.

When it shares games like NSMBU and DKCTF that offer extremely similar experiences on their cheaper handheld, that's going to affect the platform. That's something tangible.

HOLY SHIT! How in the world were they expecting it to reach that?

 

[antonz]

That is why I think Capcom is in lot of trouble going forward. They openly admitted they were screwed in the west more or less this year with LP3 as their tentpole project but even they didn't think it would do that bad.

MH4 is all they have to save them this year.

 

[Vanillalite]

Hard to tell anyone who's casual to drop 250 on a legit non tiny space SKU at this point in the gen.

Was easy last gen when the PS2 was $150 or lower. $200 for a current system with jack shit for space just isn't gonna move units this late in the generation.

Anything for Disney Infinity regarding marketshare?

Capcom in 2013

Only first month sales:

[PS3 - 360] DMC: Devil May Cry - 187,000
[3DS - WIU] Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate - between 100,000 and 130,000
[PS3 - 360] Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen - below 58,000
[PS3 - 360 - WIU] Resident Evil: Revelations - 60,000

[PS3 - 360] Lost Planet 3 - 10,000

look on the bright side, thats better than the 1% it managed in the uk

 

[Visualante2]

SC < 300k

4,800 max sales for SC on WiiU then, previously posted 9,000 on Miiverse. Welp.

Was there any incentive to buy this on WiiU? Wasn't it missing features, in fact? I didn't even see it at some stores.

4,800 max sales for SC on WiiU then

So probably about what LP3 sold across three platforms.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

HOLY SHIT! How in the world were they expecting it to reach that?

Wanna know something kinda funny? LP2 was a massive disappointment for Capcom, shipping "only" 1.5 million.

They keep lowering the bar, and Capcom somehow keeps finding a way under it

Well it still has Arkham Origins, AC IV, CoD Ghosts and Watch Dogs but the problem is they are going up against Zelda, Mario and DKC lol...

 

[MechaX]

HOLY SHIT! How in the world were they expecting it to reach that?

They might have thought (somehow) that it would be kinda a slow burn (I guess vaguely like how DmC slowly crawled its way to moderately acceptable numbers). But man, that is bad.

 

[Usobuko]

Relax, I think you're speaking to one that probably buy most, if not all, of Wii U first party games.
