Unless something happens to shift momentum PS3 will probably win the next 3 weeks. If Wii doesn't win on Kirby week than I will be very, very, very worried.


If Kirby charts AT ALL I think it'll be fine for Ninty.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?? What's your prediction on kirby?? 

Me personally, not sure.  Haven't really looked up Kirby's Japanese history, but I assume it's quite good.  And I heard that Ninty games don't preorder as well as others, but they seem to work out fine.  We'll see I guess lol

Oh... i understood from your comment that you believe kirby would flop??? I guess i was mistaken :P

Nah, it'll be fine.  what's your prediction?

Things seem slow up to now, so i'd guess less than SMG2 first week. 100-150k FW and maybe hold up through the holidays. But i really expected more like 250k FW and it rolls on toa  million easy. Now im not sure abt that million anymore, more like 500-700k LTD

I love how Kirby is in between a veritable sh*tstorm of PS3 games until Sonic Colors comes out.  It's litereally the only remotely big game for weeks. Crap. 

@kopstudent89 I wasn't even necessarily expecting a million. We'll seeeeee..... lol

@Nyanks: Sonic Colors will be lucky to sell 20k there in Japan xD

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

In japan or world wide?

In japan you have super mario collection which is supposed to be big on oct 20'sh. So october for wii with 2 major releases. November should see DK, while Last story is probably a december title.

Actually I thought DK was likely to be a December title in Japan. Still no release date for PAL yet?

Probably a December release, like NSMBWii or very late November. TLS could be appearing next week at Nintendo's fall conference with a solid release date, but I have my doubts it will be released this year. If it does, it's probably a December title.

Ideally what would we expect from The Last Story in sales?



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

300-400k LTD? But nintendo can hype this up if they want to

Ideally? Millions. Realistically, 200K with the slim possibility of breaking out as a hit I guess..

 

In Japan that is. I'd have to see more of it to guess how it performs elsewhere.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
