Interesting not funny. Because despite not selling well, Ni No Kuni still didn't do too bad in comparison with recent high-profile new JRPG IPs in Japan. |
That's a very good point. It's either the two you mentioned underperformed (my guess), or expectations for Ni No Kuni were too high, or it underperformed. It's hard to tell which one it is.

Interestingly enough despite the low sell in Japan it still outsold Xenoblade and it's on it's way to outsell The Last Story...lol |

I really don't go by VG Chartz japanese software numbers.
The point is, the DS game outsold them all combined.

Ni no Kuni outsold by Assassins Creed?
Damn. I really can't belive sales are this low. Or am i missing something? Like the collectors edition releases earlier or something?
must-have-list for platforms i don't own yet:
WiiU: Donkey Kong
XBone: Dead Rising 3, Ryse

And it's supposed to sell more in physical copies!! Geez, there must be more than 1 thousand copies in this pic alone |
wtf. Are retailers shelving the gamecards'entire lifetime stock?
My 3ds friendcode: 5413-0232-9676 (G-cyber)

Huge differences!

No, that's the only SKU for the game. But it's just an updated rerelease, so even though it did bad, it was not supposed to do good. Ass Creed is becoming bigger in japan too. First weeks for it are getting as high as 60k

Yeah I don't know why but VGC shows Ni No Kuni PS3 having very great legs. We might never know the truth.
But we both know Ni No Kuni DS was overly shipped and received big price cuts only a couple of weeks after release and came out during the holiday season so it's not a very good comparison. They actually only made one shipment for the game and have yet to sell it all :/
How is Media Create going to count the downloadable copies?
Anyways, I say next week:
3DS: 150k
NSMBW2: 500k
Brain Age: 100k

They really all underperformed expect maybe Xenoblade which I have no idea what they were expecting. But considering the quality of the game it would be hard to believe they weren't hoping for more sales.
I think Xenoblade was supposed to have 135k in Japan and 500k WW.
Western figures really outdid all predictions, and continue to do so (selling between 6-8k per week the past few weeks)
