Layton a monster ... uhhh , maybe afther the release of the sequel , but not sooner . Untill two weeks ago , no gamer could have dreemed about it selling as well as it did . And dont get me wrong , but comparing Wii Fit or SMG to a game like New Super Mario Brothers ( wich did 910k in its opening week ) both games can be called dissapointing saleswise . Also , lets dont forget that SMG and Wii Fit had probably much higher development costs , while NSMB is a plain , simple sidescrooler , wich allready sold over 11 million copys .
But if you would have taken the time and read my comment carefully , I stated clearly that the game could do batter , just like SMG did in the US . The best example is Nintendogs , a game that had a good start in Japan as a new IP ( 170k ) and sold overall more than 15 million copys .
To make your read a bit faster I just bolded those parts in my comment , so please take your time , read again , and other times try and post with less offensive text next time , because if you didnt observed you to had become a troll ... |
Let me see if I have this arguement straight. The only way for a game to be a hit is for it to compare well to games that have set sales records? Further, if the publisher was not expecting it to be a hit and did not produce at least 500k units then it is instantly a flop? That is the dumbest arguement I have ever read on this site. If a game has widespread shortages, and sells through the vast majority of its stock in under 2 days then it is a hit. With your definition every single game released on the PS3 is a terrible flop that is just a waste of money for the developers.

Common , dont try and convince me that Nintendo wasnt expecting WiiFit to be a hit , because everyone knows that WiiFit is the last game that will push the Wii in Japan this year . And yes , even if it has a much lower userbase , many PS3 games in Japan nd in US bombed . But you know whats the ironi . That there is still huge support for the PS3 in Japan , because the 360 is doing literally like crap ...
