Forums - Sales Discussion - Japan sales week 41- Famitsu and M-create ( October 8-14)

The 3ds isnt killing it but its OK
and really disppointing Project X zone sales, it seems isnt niche enough xD
but im really happy about Braverly default



Around the Network

Not exactly great for Project X-Zone, not bad, but expected more.
Thank god I changed my prediction right on time :P

And thank god Bravely surpassed it!



Wow at PSP and Vita...



Best new IP debut from square enix... in a damn long ass time.

Since Kingdom Hearts? Maybe...

Edit: Radiata Stories in 2005 made more. What happened to that game anyway? But with the exception of that, since KH in 2002



Expected more from 3DS. I am biased since it has 2 games I want in the same week.



Around the Network

good 3ds, ps3 and psp numbers. nothing to say about the rest.



Those localization costs are always fishy... they translate Dishonored, a game probably packed with dialogue, voices, lore, terms, etc, in japanese to sell less than 10k copies.
But some companies can't translate in english simpler games for more sales than that, for sure? Always strange.

Anyway, still very happy for BD debut. Really nice start.

Earth Defense Force saving Vita from total shame week in famitsu chart.



BTW... god damn at this game:

09./09. [3DS] Tousouchuu: Shijou Saikyou no Hunter-Tachi Kara Nigekire! (Bandai Namco Games) {2012.07.05} (¥5.040) - 18.750 / 183.836 (+43%)

Now I want to play. Looks shovelware, but those sales are convincing enough to prove it's the best game ever made. It's making Mario jealous!



Good job Bravely Default!

Let's see... I don't know what's next week, but the 3DS should enter Kickass mode soon. In November, we have a bunch of retail downloads, EX Troopers, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Layton vs Ace Attorney. Then in December, we have Animal Crossing, Paper Mario, Dragon Quest, Inazuma Eleven, and Fantasy Life. Pity the West has a lame lineup in comparison...



Love and tolerate.
