| AlphaCielago said: Why do people think DQX pushed that much HW? It's an expansion, meaning that you need the real game to play it. It's Holyd... I mean Nintendodays now, so it's natural. There's no excuse to 3DS numbers, they aren't bad, but they aren't impressive. It should be at its 200's. |
Becuase the last time it din't. DQX released on retail format for wiiu on the week ending on 30 march. Selled 34K, pushed wiiu to 20K, was tottaly shamefull. Some braged that the reason was everyone was using digital format(deluxe editon came with a digital key for beta on japan), but still was fail hardware wise. Seriously, its the second best week of 2013 for wiiu in japan(the first was 6 jan). The question is, how much will go up and for how much time they will need to hold? And, all in all, its a 3rd party game pushing wiiu sales beyond the last mario installement did.
And a new dragon quest didn't pushed Wii even beyond 1K? DOOOOOOMEEED. NINTENDOOOOOMMMMM
"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."
