You do have a point. PS3 had a really slow start, everything started with GT5 prologue, MGS4, CoD4 and then since end of 2008 the flow of content has become continuous. But 3DS has been out for 1 year and a half now and personally there's never been so few games to look out for. In 2013 for me it's going to be Ace Attorney 5, Professor Layton 6 and... that's about it. Even Vita has more exciting titles to me. 

Like which games? Soul Sacriface, God Eater 2 and ?

Luigi Mansion Dark Moon,Castlevania Mirror of Fate, Shin Megami Tensei IV and Moster Hunter IV are also for next year on 3DS.

 

For your previous comments: 1.6M of Monster Hunter fanbase is not casual. Neither the 1M for DQ and the +400k for Fire Emblem.

Strange for art academy, I thought that was one of those games that would really underperform compared to its DS old brother

Thing about art academy is that it really took off in Europe.

Combined LTD total for RE5: 644381
Combined first week total for RE6: 672411
Tell me in my face it under-perform.

"According to mine and almost everybody on COMG thread predictions"

Jeesh. We can still have expectations , right? It didn't flopped, performed bad or bombed if that's what you mean. It did great, but I, and more posters, expected more, simple. Mine wasn't even the high end prediction... not at all

There was high and low, for example I predicted 550k PS3 600k combined so it overperformed in my book.

It sold better than RE5 in japan first week, so I think it overperformed. :D      I know that the user base is bigger now but still  RE5 sold 1st week 398k, so I think that In Japan RE6 is doing phenomenal!! The game is really good, and deserve more sales than RE5!

Now, I wonder how the game will do in Europe and USA?  ¬_¬.

(1) God Eater 2, Senran Kagura, Ninja Gaiden ∑2+, Tokiden and Gravity Daze 2. None of the 3DS games you mention is interesting to me. But again, it's a personal opinion.

(2) That still leaves a majority of casual gamers.

I cannot read Comte, and I do not know much about games, but I feel Bravely will do better than what you all are saying. Famitsu almost gave it perfect scores and on their website it is talked about all the time!


Like Famitsu scores mean anything.

Platinum was a remake. B/W2 is a sequel. Totally different, you can't compare the two.
