Forums - Sales Discussion - Global UP (30th June)! A week of new releases, Vita sales increase!

DélioPT on 06 July 2012

Besides the low HW, 3DS software is really sad to see. Hope things change soon!

Some crazy stats you've posted there. Nice!

I expect to see WiiU pass the Dreamcast within 12-18 months. Isn't the 3DS above it yet?



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

During the days of N64, Saturn and PS1, if i remember correctly, those were very good numbers and hitting 1 million was like wow! Nowdays, it`s one million less to break even - on some games that is!
How times have changed!

Wow those sales are depressing.

Word of mouth is starting to push it. Gravity Rush Word of mouth. Lego Batman Just came out on it. Some retailers I think gave a small price reduction either this past week or the week before.

I don't think LEGO Batman coudl've done anything as it came out on all of the platforms. (Like ALLL of the platforms!)

And Gravity Rush doesn't seem like a game that would do too well in the West.

Hey Conegamer! You going to reply to every last post and then some? Lol

I certainly hope when Heroes of Ruin actually releases it does better than that, although I will not hold my breath. There was no advertising for it and America did not even get the demo yet.

Poke conquest had some decent legs!

I find it interesting that the 3DS is still doing so horrible in America. Some games barely selling more than its DS counterpart.

Anyone else find it strange that the wii version of lego batman did so well, but spiderman crashed and burned on the wii?

Demo for Heroes of Ruin came out here yesterday. I played it for a bit yesterday.  Ran out of potions and painted myself into a corner. It seems that if you go through an area more than once the enemies get tougher and will kill you quickly.

It makes you wonder how some of these games ever got sequels.

No N America figures for PSO 1&2, Soul Caliber, or Grandia?  Fail. I owned all those.

I just have to pose a question to the general mass of users; do you still believe that Wii will have a good holiday season? It was beaten last year and this year so far has been atrocious compared to the PS360.

Vita increases but does anyone actually care about this machine? I know its been somewhat of a flop here in Norway and Sweden and Denmark tend to be very similar markets.

What the heck is Heroes of Ruin doing on the chart?
