SB4 is almost moving units... cmon your 6 days from launch and just 1 preorder for the day.
Anyway back to my generic GOOOOO DISGAEA DOOD!!!
Good to see DQ be DQ, to bad it will never release in the west. Nintendo and SQEX seem to have got lazy with localizing DQ on 3DS

Slightly concerned about that drop for DQM, it has absolutely piss-poor legs (seriously, I can't think of a game as front-loaded as the 1st one) so if pre-orders and therefore, the FW are weak, it's unlikely to be able to leg its way back up later on.

Other than that a nice enough update, the sales split for Diva F 2 will be interesting, hopefully given that the first one did best on Vita the fanbase there will help PSV version outsell the PS3 one even though it doesn't have the advantage of launching first this time


What game are you talking about?


Sorry, Kresnik's right, i meant the 3DS remake of the first game DQM game from the GBC days (Terry's Wonderland I think its called)

Also is your sig is from the end of the first chapter of Norwegian Wood isn't it? Great book, I wanted to get into Murakami and asked for it as a christmas present, read it all in about 3 or 4 days. You have great taste!

@ Kresnik - Just to back up what I said, it has sold 53.8% of its sales just in the first week, though you're definitely right to say that DQ7 seems to be even more front-loaded with FW sales making up 67.5% of the current total, though of course it's had fewer weeks so in theory that should drop as time passes. What made me think DQM was so front-loaded (not that it isn't) was actually its YTDs - 928k in 6 months of 2012 but just 28k in the whole of 2013, a 97% drop.

In retrospect that seems like a fairly standard JRPG pattern for DQM3D, I take it that proper mainline entries hold better? 

As for the daily, pretty slow except for DQM (ironically)

Well is not as front loaded as others JRPG.

Lets see. Acording to MC Top 1000 for the year 2012,

Dragon Quest IX (Budget) 2010/03/04 40.797 253.523 16%

I stopped at 300, and tried to check the last one to check if there were some really leggy ones but the translation was messed up. Then, it is definitely not an evergreen titles as others found in 3DS, but neither it is the most front loaded. Of course, we could do a more rigorous analisys, but I think this would be enough to at least conclude that.

And yup, Norwegian Wood was my first Murakami book, and that first chapter is just incredibly powerful.

OK, good point well made, seems I just looked at those YTDs and made some assumptions that turned out to be pretty wrong :/

Also I know what you mean about the first chapter, I read it again just after I was still in shock a little bit from the ending and it hit me much harder than it did the first time round

It's nice to see Yakuza on the move, but this thread definitely needs some excitement soon.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

 Yazuka for  the PS4 is  finally starting to wake up.. Only if Tropical Freeze would show up.. Japanese gamers need to stop MONKEYING around and start preordering that damn game.

Pretty solid day for those at the top.

Strange to think that 3 entries will leave the charts in 5 days. I was starting to get used to everything sticking around for so long.

I wonder where the other ps4 games are in the charts ?
