I don't think VC2 will do too well...

You know I knew this would happen, why did they have to do this to us (no I'm not rebuying a PSP before Agito XIII, if at all)

Best move imo would be to allow PS3 owners to download it via PSN as a budget game at $40 or $30


I think they should just let PS3 owners download all PSP games period :/ It would certainly help games sell better.

soriku that would result in a HUGe backlash & could possibly destroy PSP completely!

OH NO WHAT IF SONY READ YOUR IDEA!

Actually there was a rumor about this not too long ago.

I'd praise Sony a lot. Means I wouldn't need a PSP :P

you know I would LOVE this too

FF Agito XIII online!

Dissidia online matches!

OMG the possibilities, but maybe after PSP2 is announced this is possible.

Play KH1 first.

well yeah I'll try to, I migth leave DQ8 for later as it might require "dedication"

I'll split time between Ac2, KH1 & NSMB Wii , Jan 27th will be an AMAZING day, hopefully there'll be now homework for that thursday!

I reckon I should get AC2 & KH1 finished by 2nd Feb

then its WKC & NSMB Wii all the way till the 13th FANTASY EPIC!

I don't get the points (pt) system either.

Can someone please explain - can't be bothered to search for an explanation right now.

By the way, good stuff Darth.

As someone said it's provides a good insight on Japanese gaming these days.

I'm sorry but from what I have seen they haven't been specific about it.

example, FF12 did around 3,100 or something points at its launch = 1.8 Million week 1

FF13 had around 2024 = 1.5 Million week 1

their blog is good, & they update it with predictions  & comparisons to games that tracked similarly from time to time,

so even though you may not have a clear indication for actual sales for some games ATM, in the future you will see them doing comparisons which will help a lot (they did FF13 vs FF12 comparisons in december & at that point it was obvious FF13 wouldn't get to FF12's week 1)

They also do predictions which will make it easier to understand the points.

and rememebr pre-order to sales ratio for each game will be different, so the points will give you a good sales "range", not specifics, but thats good enough for a rough insight

Have patience and bear with the thread over time

Well just saying, DQ8 was great.

How good is DQ5's story btw? Like, can you compare it with other games you thought had good stories?

DQ5 has a good story with a lot of heart. I like it better than DQ8.



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

VC2 should do comparable numbers to VC1 first week. You can take it as good or bad.

Depends on which way you want to spin it. You can say that it was much, much cheaper due to it being on PSP and just an overall shorter development time.

You can also say that it should do better with a successful anime, manga, and prequel.
