@senortaco: Which of those games do you see being a big hit like Wii Sports Resort or Animal Crossing?

I honestly doubt any of those games will sell more than what the average 1st party game sells.

 

So in order for a game to be decent it has to register Wii sports, or Gow2(us sales) figures? You don't see the Tansunko -v- Capcom selling at all? Taiko Drum Master either? Sonic Unleashed?

...The problem I see here is an issue of the quality of the the 3rd party games SO FAR, PLUS the PS2 still being a viable option in Japan.

I still want your opinion on what Current gen system you feel could fill that void? Sony? Microsoft? Right now the Wii for has the most japanese centric games upcoming. Thats what I wanted to show you with that list.

Wait, you actually expect a fighting game that isn't apart of the main big three (Tekken, SC, and SF). Tansunko vs. Capcom will sell terribly. Fighting games sales are in a huge decline.

 

And he wasn't talking about quality either.

Both Tansunko and Capcom characters are very popular in Japan though; I reckon it will sell pretty good, 100k-250k total.

 

But even that isn't earth shattering.

@senortaco

And the big three franchises have seen declines in sales. SC 4 is slowly creeping past SC 3 but will not pass SC 2. SF 4 will not, in all likelyhood, pass SF2. And Tekken has been in decline since the third one I believe.

@ Soriku

Because Marvel vs. Capcom 2 sold gangbusters right?
