When a port of a 2 year old game sells better than the original did, that means something. I won't venture to say what it means, but generally speaking, that's not normal.

Once again the TROLLS Unite.  On two different HD consoles that OUTNUMBER the Wii total sales and all you can sale was 3k more? This my friends only shows even if sold evenly on the HD systems you would under sold at 7k on each machine.  How is that selling more?  Wii 11k, Yellow light of death PS3 7k and 3 Red Ring of Death Xbox 360 7k.  My my math is bad cause I dont use LAME fanboy math to try a make my machine viable.  I like the game PERIOD!!  Wish it sales alot.  When did it become 1 Wii vs 2 HD?  You have to combine sales From the two HD's just to show that your out selling the other by a little?  O__o  "LAME"!!  Just enjoy the game.  Part two is WAAAAAY better. (only for the top selling) system for now.

No, it sold 14K on the 360 and 14K on the PS3. So if I was grouping them together it would be 28K.

Er, they did 14k EACH, so 28k in total.

They all bombed in Japan, the differences are so small it doesn't matter.

 

However these are the facts

Wii userbase at time 4 mill / 11k first week
PS3 userbase at time 5 mill /14k first week
360 userbase at time 1.3 mill  /14k first week

NMH bombed no matter which platform. Are people seriously trying to spin this into a success?


LoL. Yes, apparently.

Funny, that's exactly what you Nintendo fans do for every 3rd party Wii game.

Oh Please.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

A 3K difference isn't enough to say "It would do better on HD consoles"

This game was a japanese flop on the Wii, and a much higher flop on HD consoles, because of higher development costs.

The Wii version was more profitable despite lower sales.

I think now Grasshopper (?) can see that the HD consoles are not a viable platform to have a profitable game on like No More Heroes.

At least in Japan.

But it's a port...the developement is not that much. It's surely a lot less than the Wii one.

So we are basing everything just of first week numbers? And we are using userbase to do so? And probably on numbers that are not even final... like someone said, some have it at 14K some at 7K???

Well, the only thing that matters are final numbers. Almost 500k on wii, being Suda's most successful game (based on sales) so far.

You can claim that a port between HD consoles may have minimal cost, but between a Wii (almost last gen hardware) and an HD console, there's a lot more going on than a simple port. The revamped visuals, extras and setting up the whole gameplay again so it could fit a classic controller makes this much more than a simple "port".

Yes, but we are playing the IF game.

 

If this would've been on HD consoles, it would've sold better.

 

IF this would've been an HD game, it would've been way more expensive on the development costs, making it a bigger flop.
