FFXV has big ads in the US. Thanksgiving football even had FFXV ads. So if it flops here, that would be bad.

Last week I saw only Xbox One ads during football.

Now its like this FFXV=PS4 Black Friday> XB1> Watch Dogs PS4

OT: Can hope for a big weekend, but generally few people preorder right before a game comes out. Still it has done as expected when compared to other FF titles.

Not going to deny the franchise huge decline. Also when comparing what the YW2.5 did 2 years ago as well YW3.5 will be a huge bomba.

That said point still stands. Any sales they get from its retail release is extra sales. It just goes and shows us that the YW2.5 made a huge whopping of money lol

I am genuinely surprised you're making this argument, Tbone.  It's just bizarre.  It's like the house is falling down around you but you're there clinging to the pillars saying "yeah but at least the roof hasn't fallen in on the kitchen yet".

Sure, it's extra sales I guess, I'm not sure it's a situation Level-5 will be particularly happy about though.

I'll also remember this line of thinking next time a Vita game bombs, because using this logic we can just say "Sure, the game only sold x copies and that's really bad, but they'd already made the game by this point so at least they're making some money from selling it which they wouldn't have made by not selling it!" -_-

Yeah yokai watch is definitely not doing good. For future entries we'll definitely have much lowered expectations though. Although we can expect it's popularity to grow on mobile given the push they're giving it.

FFXV needs about 2000 points to surpass XIII so about 500 points each day.

Oh lol! 

Anyway! MHXX takes it today. 

Seems realistic.

I dont think i said Level5 would be happy about it. I was just saying that when it comes down to it, this sku is basically an expansion to that of YW3. I mean do we call AC on 3ds a flop? (It re released and sold what like 15k fw compared to the originally years ago)

I get what your saying, YW2.5 made such a killing so yw3.5 basically flops in that reguard but at the end of the day this sku/game/whatever is YW3 with the promise free dlc that gamers bought 5 months ago.

Do we really expect double dippers to buy when the games are the same exact thing? The yw fad is over. Cant expect consumers to be onboard anymore despite what level5 is hoping for lol.

That said they are just squeezing what little sales they can before yw dies out (if it does)

No, because 'The Best' reprints don't have a history of selling 1.2m FW.  If you're going to compare games like this to push whatever it is that you're pushing then I don't really have much else to say because you're just being ridiculous :P
