I consider the Pikmin franchise dead right now.
Pikmin 3 will end up with less than 200K in the Japanese region, well below the 475K units of P2 and very disappointing for a game that had several years in development. Hardly, Nintendo will invest in Pikmin 4 in the near future - unseless P3 has excellent sales in Western markets, I believe that Nintendo may invest in the franchise, which I doubt, given the small sales of P1 and P2 in the West.

Bullshit ! Pikmin 1 opened lower and 1&2 creeped both to 560.000 units in Japan (by our own numbers) !

I am using Famitsu numbers. Nintendogs (DS-2005), Brain Training, Animal Crossing, Mario 2d, Wii Fit are evergreen / long legs sales by selling games to a wider audience than the traditional hardcore public . Pikmin is a franchise for the typical Nintendo hardcore fan. Sales of Pikmin can not be compared with the other five franchises. Pikmin is not a evergreen monster sales game.

I don't get it. He's just shown that the previous titles have had similar openings and gone on to have LT sales about 5x their first week. Why should Pikmin 3 be different?
