Anyone know the budget for Sly 4? I doubt it was very high.
180k for Fire Emblem sounds good. How much was the number for DmC from January?

So does anyone else think FE's digital sales means NoA will under ship every niche game from now on?
The GAF Agg is 69K.64 - 80k is still twice or three times what some gaffers expected . Take a look at the predictions thread.
Lowered expectations maybe but after 57k in jan , I was thinking 25-35 k might happen with no new games released.
160K would still leave 231K for the NDS and Wii, seems somewhat high for the latter?3DS did 145K last month, in my estimation. Given that it rose on a weekly basis, that's a minimum of 116K in February.
But it also crossed 8 million, and that would require 140K by my records.
So minimum of 140K for 3DS, but given Nintendo's history of statements like "over 8 million", I wouldn't be surprised if it were a bit higher, like 160K or more.
Perhaps more can be said later.
No, because that would be stupid.
I have no doubt they'd continue to do this whether FE sold well digitally or not.So does anyone else think FE's digital sales means NoA will under ship every niche game from now on?
Nintendo saving the planet one Wii U at a time.Iwata must be ecstatic. He wanted a system with very low power draw because you know that's what gamers care about. Not only did he achieve his goal but with the numbers wiiu is pulling the overall environmental impact is tiny. Huge success, give yourself a pat on the back.
Here he goes again...
"Xbox 360 - 302K - 41% of current-gen console sales"
http://blogs.technet.com/b/microsof...nsole-in-the-u-s-for-26th-straight-month.aspx
"Current-gen console sales" = 360, PS3, Wii, Wii U
(I'm assuming this doesn't refer to handhelds)
So:
~736.6K - 360 + PS3 + Wii + Wii U
~434.6K - PS3 + Wii + Wii U
"~65K - Wii U"
http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/03/14/dead-space-3-leads-us-sales-in-february
So:
~369.6K - PS3 + Wii

I don't believe that information is public, certainly hasn't been reported anywhere. But yeah, the budget will have been quite low.Anyone know the budget for Sly 4? I doubt it was very high.
No shit. I'm reasonably sure 250k is more than pretty much every Japanese SRPG except possibly FFTA2 sold last gen.Shadow Dragon sold 250k in the US? And still Nintendo passed on the second DS game? Wtf? I've been under the impression that SD also flopped financially, but it actually reached numbers most other Japanese games of its kind would be glad to achieve.
I have no doubt they'd continue to do this whether FE sold well digitally or not.
Just look at all of the $100 copies of Xenoblade Chronicles out there.
Serves Microsoft right for not having an ecosystem.So uhh, I have Nintendo hardware "ecosystem" at >50% stronger in Feb over Jan on a weekly basis?
Thats pretty massive. The X360 went up 34%.
Wii U continues to be Krillin. No surprise there.
How much was the number for DmC from January?
IIRC:Less than 200K
So par for the course for NoA?
It has to be Krillin. That way the prophecy of the fabled Destructo Disc (Pikmin 3) failing will come true. It's like that initial high you get in DBZ, and you think shit is now about to get real, but obviously it's Krillin throwing it, so the destructo disc accomplishes nothing.Krillin? More like that farmer with a shotgun character.

So I guess all the returns did skew last month's Wii U numbers.
No way it goes up (by even a measly 10k) during this month. There were literally NO games released for it in February.
Disastrous, disappointing numbers for DmC.
Hmm, with all the comment on Wii U. Vita seems neglected.
How long can it piddle along at 35K a month before retailers stop bothering to carry it?

It's cheap.
Rednecks like to have that Nintendo box for the Netflix, Mario Kart, Wii Sports Bowling and Just Dance 4.
Only requires standard definition so it still looks good on their CRT televisions in their trailers.
Wal-Mart.
Plenty of good reasons.
Dat Wii U momentum.
Great numbers for Fire Emblem.
And it was even undershipped.
Funny how Awakening will probably cross the million mark worldwide when it's all said and done.

So happy for Sly. Haven't played it yet, but I have heard great things. Gotta whittle my backlog down a bit though before I get it.
So that WiiU number is better, but is it at least considered decent now? Or is that number still terribad?
Wii U has 100% market share for next gen consoles. Unprecedented!
