DQ has nothing to do with FF bro. Also DQ will kill it in sales. Both 3ds and ps4 version will sell very well. Probably 3.5mil to 4.5mil lifetime

yeah no doubt about DQ would outsell XV but they need to lower their expectation regarding Ps4 version of software after XV flop so hard, and at western might be tricky the possibility 3ds version end up selling more in the west is exist. 

Its a good decision for the ps4+3ds combo, they could of thron vita too (and NX?). That said tbf FFXV hasnt released yet so it didn't flop :p

Ok... so last FF's were LR on ps3 wich sold 450k and type0 wich sold 150k on ps4.

I would sat that we are easily looking at a 400k value for FFXV, so it will compete. Unless ofc, it goes back to beeing a sales phenomenon like it used to be with mainline titles. This one is very different from the classics though, so i'm not convinced. But we will see. I say it will land somewhere between 400k and 1m.

My guess is FFXV should sell over 2 million in Japan, assuming it's good.

So... as far as i know, mario kart is the series with the biggest attachment rate, beeing around 50%. 

For FFXV to sell 2m, it needs an attach rate of 66% given the current install base of 3m in Japan. 

Perhaps a bit overly optimistic?

Capcom really dodged the bullet there in this generation by not releasing Monster Hunter on Vita which would end up similar fate to XV

It really depends on whether FFXV is heavily bundled too.

No not really. Its not like they are going to make a standard bundle for an entire year for it. Also funny how that market bugdet for FFXV is so high and still cant compete with splatoon huh? Lol

Just take the loss, lets not spin it. Even if FFXV comes close to 1.6mil-1.8mil lifetime

Well, worldwide you know the game is going to sell a lot. But wasn't Splatoon for a long period of time?

Yeah we all know FFXV going to sell alot WW. Nobody doubts that but this thread is about 1 thing lets not slip from it pls.

 

Also what do you mean by splatoon for a long period of time? A bundle? Cuz if your going to use that for an excuse its really laughable when the game literally carried itself and not even 150k sales came from a bundle

The cheapest bundle on amazon.co.jp is the Splatoon bundle - comes with 2 amibo figurines too. I mean the game came out in May last year right? They released a bundle in November and another bundle in May this year.

Wow. Literally dont give up do you? The Nov bundle wasnt that much. It sold out in under 3 weeks and if every wiiu sale was a bundle it wouldnt have been more than 120k. And they just recently did a bundle a month ago and splatoon sales are around 40k (estimate off the top of my head). Splatoon is over 1.6mil in sales currently with no signs of a

Stopping yet.

 

That puts splatoon selling withoht a bundle for at least 1.45mil. But go ahead and keep spinning.

New freeban - new spam ;)

The Mod "CGI-Quality" just wanted to proove his intelligence once again.
He banned me "Hadoram" (http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/profile/145135/hadoram/) for creating an Alt called Hadoram2 some weeks ago.
Funny thing is, hadoram was already banned for creating an Alt some weeks ago for 2 weeks.

So he banned hadoram 2x for the same "misbehaviour".

Very nice action to prove your incompetence @CGI-Quality! ;)

I really just cant believe how bad this mod team is. This is ridiculous.
