blaz - Unless it displays some sort of future-driven godly legs, it's going to sell anywhere near 1.5 million.

It dropped 50% on a holiday weekend. The same weekend that DQIX JUMPED.

Unless this sells more than 40,000 units next week, it's doubtful it's going to have some sort of massive legs.


You're probably right, but I guess it's worth looking for the next two weeks to see what happens.



Yes.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

So MH3 is FAIL just beacuse some people on this forum thought it would sell alot more the first couple of weeks..... wow just wow... are some of you really really that sad?.

MH3 failed because it failed the publisher's expectation, not because some random and spiteful fanboy's on the internet said so. And yes Capcom was expecting bigger sale than this as they forecast 1.5 million shipment in Japan which won't happen.

So no its not sad its being realistic.

Take SE for example, they expected to Ship 5 million DQIX lifetime and have alread shipped 3 million, they're obviously banking on the popularity of the series for the initial burst and the popularity of the DS for the longetivity, and since its actually proving to be a fairly well recieved game leg wise, I can actually see the 5 million shipped being achieved. But if sales stop tomorrow, even with the monstrous sale it has already achieve, it still failed.

Depends on your definition of a failure, if DQ9 gets to 4 million and stops it's really hard to call it a failure even if SE tells me they expected 5 million.  4 million would make it the second best selling DQ ever in Japan, development costs are low on DS, and they are selling side quests.  I'm sure they're making a fortune off the game.

LoL, only 10? good luck trying to impress the ladies. Hope you have a lot of money or a nice car.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

I think you are mixing inches with centimeters, 10" would be surreally big.

Wait some people are still going on about monster hunter 3 being a bomb?

Yeah, pissed off PS3 fans who wanted it on their system. They think if they keep calling it a bomb, it will magically stop selling, in hopes that Capcom will bring it to PS3 also.

It's sort of like watching a mouse caught in a glue trap slowly tearing away at its own flesh to be free.
