Grand Knights History Tops 110,000 Units

VanillaWare's PSP strategy title Grand Knights History has topped the 110,000 unit mark. Producer Yoshifumi Hashimoto released the figure today at the game's official blog, adding that the game has continued to see repeat orders. He did not say if he was referring to sales or shipments.

The game's network play is exceeding initial forecasts, Hashimoto also said. This has required the game's server staff to fight day and night to keep things running. He promised if there's a problem it will be addressed quickly.

But he did mention the great Dark Souls numbers before. And also, he did mention Type-0 this week I think, and has it ever occured you that he did not have any data of Type 0 at that point?

And it is pretty bad if you are reading an article just to make fun of the writter and not for the numbers or the data.

hmm i think you are fighting a losing battle here buddy.

about type-0..he constantly ignores it. the incident i mentioned was on titles that will sell well in coming months...it doesn't take a genius to figure out how Type-0 will be part of that....he didn't mention it as one of the bigger games for October either. I mean really?

and you are wrong. if what he does is funny, he will be made fun of. if people don't find it funny and just annoying, they will call him out on it. that's not bad at all. his obvious bias is so damn obvious, i used to get so annoyed with it..but then..it just became one big joke to me and hasn't stopped since. and keep in mind i HAVE given him credit in some weeks he have gotten data well..recently he had one preview which was very balanced and I gave him cred for that as well. but alas it lasted just one week.

i mean come on man..just take this week for example..if seece hadn't edited it out it read something like DS sold xxx which is comparable to DQ BUT the latter is just a collection or something...and the game may see a xillia like drop etc etc..i mean it seems it hurts him to give sony or ms credit or something. can't give a compliment without trying to downplay it. i mean ffs Xillia afaik had the highest selling FW in Tales history! who cares if it dropped to 20k a week after that. those are fantastic sales.

it honestly baffles me how some of you are trying to defend him here.

Okay, he didn't mention Type-0, big deal, he will have to mention it when the pre-orders rise and it is close to release.

And it is not okay to laugh at his work, every week, he does a preview, that, for the 100th time, cannot be accurate since it is just an estimate. He still gives you the preview every week right on time only so most of you can bash him.

About Dark Souls and Xillia, how did he downplay Xillia? The drop was a 90% drop, huge FW, but it was still a 90% drop, the Tales franchise is niche and often has that kind of drops. And I'm not saying it will, it is pretty unlikely, but what if Dark Souls also has that type of drop? What will people say about it? No one believed when he said Xillia had a huge drop, and it did. (And I know a Dark Souls drop is just guess with no actual data).

People defend him because of his hard work, he is biased, but he still delivers the preview for us.



Full feature on Gears of War 3 in Sh1nn's gamer.net link; they gave it an 82/100. Famitsu gave it a 39/40. Did it beat Reach sales, BTW?

thats a very impressive opening for gears.

no surprise that the preview was incorrect in a MS related number.... no surprise at all.

I'm not even surprise that the actual number is 330% more than predicted.... lol.


I'm pretty sure Source likes MS more than he likes Sony.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Good numbers for the 3DS, Senran Kagura doing good numbers, love plus is going to be a beast... 150k FW probably... Nice numbers... DQ collections is selling very well, if this collection can achive 500k, DQX should top at least 2 millions quite easy...

geez man..what is he your best friend or something? I don't really get why you are so desperate to defend him so much

Type-0 is one of THE biggest games in Japan for 2011! he mentions some real small titles for 3ds and wii and yet 'forget' type-0? give me a break. at least try not to be so blind in defending him. all your reasons should apply to other games he mentions too. and btw this is just ONE example

and he did..he an't seem to give a compliment to anything non-ninty without saying something dumb and funny like, bu bu bu it should see a big drop..I mean ffs! I would LOVE to see his article on the Graces Wii debut for Japan. PS3 Tales absolutely destroyed wii sales! he is biased as hell which is fine but he lets it show so so much...the things you say should be said about other games too know? what if xxx game on 3ds see a big drop..or what if xxxx on Wii actually see an increase in sales despite the abysmal start..he downright ignores them most of the time

people call him out cuz he is bias and reeks of it. he baits in his article consistently as well. IF you are gonna do something..do it right..or don't do it. I for one hope preview keeps going cuz I find it extremely hilarious. A preview that is constantly innaccurate (which is NOT the reason why people point fingers) and bias and which is posted on one of the main pages of professionalism to it. If not what's the use?

I'm done talking sense in to you at this point. for some reason you can't seem to see what's there right infront of you and keep defending the guy. Guess being a Ninty fan his actions just fly over your head. Unless he changes into a more professional writer..I will make fun of stupid things like DQ vs DS comparison. Don't like it? too bad

That's swell.

It shows that despite great legs and a great LT total, Demon's Souls wasn't that big of a commercial hit selling most of it's copies at a budget price.

The constant omission of Type-O just can't be ignored.  For weeks he had been saying Oct. was going to be a very slow month in Japan, completely ignoring not only the biggest game of Oct, but also one of the biggest games of the year.  I think it was only in the last preview he even had one or two sentences about it.  I think he may be worried that its release may just put it at, or above, the 3DS's numbers for that week.  And as others have already said, no one would complain if the bias wasn't so obvious.
