Your post made me actually check the release dates and you're worryingly right. All the big to semi-big games for the 3DS except MH are due this holiday in Japan (Layton vs. Wright, Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion, Paper Mario). Nintendo would be wise to push one or two of these to next year, especially given that Mario and XL can easily rule the holidays without much help.

Although, PSP pretty much had some of its best years surviving on nothing but Monster Hunter. It would have barely broken 15m LT without MH. With that kind of system-selling power, 3DS could still be fine.

I think Layton vs Wright will be 2013 (first year without layton since 2008 :( ) and Shin Megami Tensei is probably next year too. Tomodatchi collection is this year (even in Nintendo schedule) but we have next to nothing for it so far. This TGS is going to be epic for this, both systems need a lot of software!

 

And then there's the Japanese Wii U launch and future, I think they promised to say more about the future in it too!

Are you sure about Layton vs. Wright? All my highly reputable sources (Wikipedia) say it's TBA 2012. Actually, I'd rather hope it's early since it probably means that the localization will be earlier as well. (And I really want it as soon as possible!)

For TGS, while I'd hope for more games, I'm really not sure if Nintendo would bother considering just shifting Animal Crossing and Tomodachi Collection to 2013 would give them a more than decent line-up next year. I mean, with MH4, three should-be multi-million sellers is plenty for one year, right? (Even if they do risk having one or two of them collapse on the 3DS like Nintendogs.) On top of that, Mario should still be selling really well into next year.

WiiU's future in Japan should be really interesting, though it's launch is already gonna be huge. (2D Mario and DQ around launch!)

From what I just read (As best I could, lol) it seems this game is completely unrelated to the Trails in the Sky series.

Trails 2 is supposedly taking a while because they say it is 2x as large as the first, which is CRAZY!

  • (2006) The Legend of Heroes: Sora no Kiseki Second Chapter (SC)
  • (2007) The Legend of Heroes: Sora no Kiseki The 3rd


I think it's the same series (Kiseki), but not a sequel (same characters and world). But I checked some videos of Trails in the Sky and you're right, it looks pretty good, especially for an early PSP game. But if the other two never left japan, this one has no chance, being on PSP. What we can hope now is either this 3DS game or the Remake that's coming for Vita (or the new game being for Vita too)

I know the new ones have close to no chance, XSEED only got the rights to publish the Trails trilogy. Still worrisome since they stated that Chapter 2 isn't a "top priority" because the first one didn't really sell all that well, although it did however bring in huge praise from those who purchased the title.

The reason I also said that this new title is unlrelated it because it isn't part of the Trails trilogy and not a part of the Legend of Heroes line either from what I have read.

Either way it looks great.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

I think Pokémon is simply a certainty for next year. Announced in february, released in september.

This is the game that'll push 3DS to greatness. Not even MH4 have the powah to challenge a revamped Pokemon!



Some charts from GAF regarding of 3DS.

DS level of sales is pipe dream but it will probably end in somewhere around 25 million. Behind DS and GB but ahead of the rest

I checked play-asia if they have Trails in the Sky, and it's out of stock... but they have the Collectors Edition and it's not THAT much more expensive. I might bite on my next buy.

Yeah, it won't reach those numbers ever. But that big spike DS had is from it's second Holiday season. So 3DS will have two boosts for that line - the LL and the upcoming holiday.

And 3DS still is not pirated! DS was already - that number will increase a lot in 2007 numbers, I believe the Acekards and R4s were released around that time.

how?


why would you be impressed if the 3DS outsells the PS2 and PS1 if handhelds sell better than home consoles?

Your post comes off as a bit defensive from a Sony point of view tbh.

And if "we all know that handelds sell beter than home consoless"... then what  is your view of the PSVita?


PSVita dosn't has good but i don't say it doomed like the magority because dosn't do anything to boost PSVita,psvita dosn't has a constant number of games and dosn't has a price cut his this to thing happen and sale doesn't  improve then psvita will be  dommed.



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

Tomodatchi is set for this year as well?! O_o It's set to own 2012 then! That did over 3 million, and it's still fresh I would say! 

And yeah I'm too psyched for TGS.. hopefully some big Wii U announcements.. definitely some big 3DS announcements. Square Enix and Capcom will probably pour the releases on the 3DS! I'm also hoping for a Big One Piece game on the 3DS, something more daring like the PS3 version



It's normal that a console sold will if it has big games so it's not impresive it's very very good but not impresive.
