| DonFerrari said: We are talking Japan here, which didn't had a 500M marketing and which have a bundle that isn't discounted (while selling 3-4x more outside the bundle anyway)... and shooters in Japan is more niche than Musou games... but yes take the point completely out of context and you may have a point. |
That marketting budget was global and wide spread all over the internet, to think it didn't reach Japan in great number would be foolishness.
As for the rest, shooters may be niche but the WiiU is not a Playstation where these titles and this niche has lived for 15 years. HyWa will at best meet expectations in Japan and nothing more, you're comparing a AAA game to a game that had expectations of ~150k total in Japan and probably had a budget of a million. (Take out the bundle, ~15-20k, puts Destiny very close to HyWa openning week. Let's see if it has any legs.)
