Should have sold more. Good job Namco

p.s. the guy is holding the wrong game. or is this saying the game sold out everywhere that he can't grab a copy of the game?
 
I thought there were plenty of crows here only saying it would make 50k? Uh huh.

Anyways, I would rather hear about Namco redistributing more copies. It's quite a nice game, and more people should have the chance to play it.
 
I said 55,000 for July/first month (Does the July NPD end this week?).

Looks like I might be wrong. We'll see.
 
I know it was nigh impossible to find where I am, I finally snagged a copy on Tuesday so they probably just sent out a fresh shipment.
 
At the gamestop in Norman they only received 12 copies of the game since release day and sold out of them within three hours. Luckily I got mine in another city, where they had several more. Still I think it was good on Namco's part to be safe rather than sorry.

there is no worse situation than being stuck with unsold stock and having to mark it down. retailers hate you.

if it's sold 100k it's already sold twice as many as ToD2, last i heard its numbers. SUCCESS. namco is guaranteed to be happy with this.

Yep, and now the chances of the others in the series coming here are now infinitly better!

let's just hope the games are as good. TOD2 on PS2 is really nowhere near as good as symphonia. hope rebirth is, despite being 2D with that weird plane-switching gameplay (i guess that worked OK in guardian heroes, but i'm still a bit worried.) the new 3D version of the battle system in TOS = yes. so are the gorgeous 3D backgrounds, although TOR's look a lot less templated than the TOD2 ones. TOD2 looks suspiciously like it started its life as a PS1 game.

Well even still there's rumored Tales of Legendia, and the 3 times overlooked Tales of Phantasia.
 
Wow those are pretty good numbers for a game that had a low shipment. Sorta weird though,I saw a copy at a store today. I can't be sure which store it was but I saw it at Circuit City or Target, but it was one of them.
 
We have ONE copy. We've had it for like four days now. We got a second in, and sold that, so we've sold one. But we still have one.
 
Better sales than the previous two Destinys, but still pretty low. Namco should push more now that they know people will bite

Yeah. I say for the next game to come out that they should put commercials up.

And come on. The game hasn't even been out a month yet and it's broken 100,000. That's damn good considering the circumstances.
 
Not to mention the fact that Namco did absolutely no advertising for the game one but (at least, no advertising offline, cause IGN ran some ads)

Well, Nintendo put the game on their store demos for a couple months, and there were plenty of print adds to promote that SE GameCube.

Not only him, many said it wouldn't exceed 50k. It may yet reach FF:CC type numbers. Remember that this is the Cube, not the PS2 where rpgs. are a dime a dozen.
 
With Crystal Chronicles, A Wonderful Life, Pokemon Colosseum, Four Swords Adventure, and now Tales of Symphonia, GCN's most successful games this year are pretty much RPG-related outings...
 
"Lengendia" is one of the worst rpg naming abominations I've ever heard. Symphonia is fine. But...

"There is a fabled land where legends are born. This is place is known as... [dramatic pause] Legendia." hahahah

I think Symphonia is worse than Legendia.

FFCC- hack and slash, but somewhat an RPG
AWL: Farm sim
PC: RPG
FSA: Action Adventure
ToS: RPG

If it follows MMAC, Command Mission might do well. Paper Mario 2 should sell (obviously), and I'm not so sure about how Baten Kaitos will do. I think it'll be one of the casualties caught up in this year's holiday season.

Well, before year's end those titles are on track to reach or exceed by my estimates:

Harvest Moon=200k
FFCC=400k
Pokemon Colosseum=800k
LOZ: FSA=300k
TOS=300k+

Btw efralope, didn't you predict FF:CC's sales?
 
I consider Harvest Moon a farming RPG I guess, and I consider almost all Zelda games action-RPG's, not action-adventures (kind of like I consider Secret of Mana an action-RPG, except Zelda doesn't have hit-points and stuff)...

also, I did predict 750,000 by year's end for Crystal Chronicles, but that may have been a bit optimistic (although judging from what I see at retail, there is enought inventory to have a good 600,000+ if Cube sales pick up with the bundle and this Christmas season)...

Harvest Moon, like Animal Crossing, is a sim. If those two are RPGs, then The Sims is also an RPG.

They are different categories which share similar traits.

Terranigma is an RPG. Seiken Densetsu is an RPG. Zelda, is not an RPG. That doesn't make it any worse, but the game is not what is thought of as an RPG. The only one in the series I would count however, is Zelda 2 (which is an action-RPG).
 
we just got in 4 more copies at TRU a few days ago, i think we've still got them actually... but everywhere else in the area seems to be sold out

Which would be the case if they ever mentioned anything in the title at any point in Tales games, which they don't...
 
Well this is a good sign for Legendia... Xenosaga II only got greenlighted after solid western sales of the first game.
 
TOS is still #22 on Amazon.com so its still selling well

(BTW Sudeki has fallen all the way down to #611 ouch!)

And for some reason the Cube version of MMAC is still beating the PS2 version there despite the fact that the PS2 version is cheaper.

$27.88 for the PS2 version (#129 on the list)
$29.99 for the Cube version (#88 on the list)

Oh, I thought you predicted 400k.

TOS = 60,000 sold in NPD.

And you know this how Deg? So it's sold 40,000 copies in Aug. already?

they are different though, cause a staple of RPG's is going into people's houses and talking with them (uninvited), and that sort of stuff, which I thought stuff like Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing did in RPG-style...

That trait was also apparent in Zelda after A Link to the Past... Secret of Mana and Zelda are actually pretty similar in some ways, except that Seiken Densestu (SoM) does have more influence from regular RPG's in the use of Hit Points, Magic Points, Experience Points, etc...

I still think Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past can be considered Action-RPG's (if not then at least be considered somewhat influenced by the genres, you know, talking to people in their houses, doing missions for them, even Dark Cloud was supposed to be PS2's Zelda-killer)...
 
In The Sims you have general control of random characters. You might as well be controlling pet hamsters. How is this even remotely comparable to the gameplay of something like Harvest Moon? The analogy between the two makes no sense.

thanks for the clarification, I actually haven't played either but that's kind of what I imagined for each series...
