Isn't fate/stay a hentai series?

 Yes. And additionally, Fate is ported from PC called "Ero-ge". (Althouth Fate has little pornographical contents...)

Final Fantasy Anniversary Edition is totally below my expectation This game is pretty cheap in Japan, it's a FF after all. Yes, it's remake but still. I was counting for at least 80k...(week one). I don't know... this game looks a way better on PSP screen...

There was a note about expectation of Square on Sinobi site... They will be pleased with 150k copies sold... Am I correct?

PSPを使ってリメイクされた「ファイナルファンタジー」。
メーカー自ら「15万本程度も売れれば上出来」と言っていたのだが
受注で既に10万本を突破したようだ。

I'd say SPM will probably pull in around 300-400K for thhe first week

I would rather say 150k - 170k.. Yoshi has 150k for day one and finished with 300k IIRC.



I'm thinking Super Paper Mario will sell 120-150k in week one.  But it won't drop very quickly from that rate.

Wow. Didn't expect FF1 PSP to flop so hard.  I mean Square Enix put a lot of effort into the game, what with updating the sprites and all.  Can't be looking good for future PSP support from S-E.

I have to admit these all seem really low.  Persona 3 was #3 on Famitsu top 10, and has been high on it for quite a while, it should sell more then that.  Final Fantasy is extremely low, I have a hard time believing it would sell that bad.  Paper Mario seems low too, maybe what he said about people buying these on the weekend is true. 



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

 Yes. If total sales is 150k,  they will be pleased.

According to Sinobi (latest update) they've shipped 100.000 isn't it?

This game should be a hit for sure:

A complete new Wild Arms "Crose Fire" (Simulation / RPG game) for the PSP and you can use Wild Arms The Vth Vanguard to extend a few functions by using the USB cable, sounds great!

More new PSP only RPG games have to come to the PSP, Brave Story, Jeanne d'Arc are wonderful games! I won't be surprised when people are starting to be fed up with the constant remakes of Final Fantasy, I think the Japanese are almost dying to get Crisis Core.

I know I am...on both accounts.



 

 

Sales for Path of Radiance on Wii  were on the same line and it didnt exactly put the charts on fire .Better to assume it ,Super Paper Mario wont be a blockbuster in Japan .Normal ,its only a Cube game trasvased to the Wii after all .

 FF sales are quite low ,maybe they will hit 45K for the week .

 The expectation is higher for FFTactics Lion War for PSP ,wich had 100K prereservations it seems .And FFVII Crisis Core of course ,that one should equal Monster Hunter 2 success in Japan .
