MLB 15: The Show is slightly undertracked on here retail. But the significant thing is it's not overtracked so WW it actually has sold about 850k retail. With digital Sony will sell over 1m retail. PS3 + vita will be over 400k so that's close to 1.5m Ltd.

Sony will be very happy to have this. An annual 1.5m seller that's growing nicely on ps4.

For a sport that isn't that big WW and perhaps have low cost to produce is very healty numbers.

Sorry for the bump and I'm multiple months late, but we're back in business? We are getting lots of what appears to be real hard numbers?


Miracles do happen.



Bets:

1. If the Wii U sells closer to 10 million LTD by 1/3/2015 I win. If it sells closer to 9.5 million LTD by 1/3/2015 OfficerRaichu15 wins (winner gets 2 weeks of avatar control)--Lost.

From what I can tell, yes we have been getting good leaks that are believed to be trusthyworthy.

We still have people here saying Sony should sell some buildings to post some profit.

Those are the biggest dq games in the west right? Thought DQ was alot better than tat (well 8 did good). Are people getting this number to compare it to the 3ds release?

I think it's more to highlight the growth of the franchise in the west and the possible numbers DQXI can do or should do to be a success.
