You what would be awesome? Bravery Deafult hitting 400k LT.

One can dream.

Not particularly likely but with the holidays coming up, not impossible (counting digital sales). 

I'd imagine 300-350k would be the limit though; more than enough to justify a western release.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Impressed by RE6 and Bravery Default close to the top of the charts again. Project x Zone seems to drop really fast, any info about it?

I thought Project x Zone was going to be huge in Japan...guess the game didn't live up to expectations.

VicViper posting? World must be ending!

Oh Vita. Games do not help you. Not even in the motherland. Do better.

Other than that, pretty nice week for PS3. Will be interested to see what Xillia + Yakuza do for it.

Just a misunderstading with Noctis availability today :) - the explanation is on his wall

Next week he's on duty again!

I'm surprised Dark Souls did as well as it did. I'm happy for From Software.

Man, just when you think the Vita couldn't go down any further...it goes down deeper!!! Sony should realize the only solution is to just man up and take a bigger hit on the hardware than already is. The softwares seems sound but is not going to do anything unless Sony mans up. I mean I thought PXZ was slightly underselling, SFxT a game with a solid name that probably cost more to develop for the Vita is selling atrocious!!! Drop the price Sony, before it's too late already!!!!

Animal Crossing, Paper Mario, Professor Layton Vs Ace Attorney, Inazuma Eleven, Inazuma eleven collection? and Pokemon Mistery Dungeon. All of them are 200k+ sellers and I dare say with the exception of the collection that all of them are 400k+


Seriously? That's not daring at all, :P. Most of them would do very poor to do less than 400k.

I dare say they're all million sellers. Optimistic, for sure, but within the realm of possibility. AC is a guaranteed multi-million seller; that's fine. As for the others...

Paper Mario's a bit of a tough one; Super Paper Mario and Paper Mario both hit 0.59m, with TTYD being lower. Expecting 1m might seem ridiculous with this, but let's keep in mind that a) the 3DS is a much more successful system than either of those in Japan and b) 3DS, unlike Wii and N64, will have a huge Pokemon and DQ base at some point, from which Paper Mario can drain some sales. As the first handheld title, I'd say 1m is definitely within the realm of possibility.

PLvsAA's even more optimistic, really. Although the most successful Layton - the first - did hit 1m, it only barely did and the series has been on decline since. Mask of Miracle didn't even manage 400k. Despite this, I think that, since this Layton has a much bigger base - and could attract a lot of attention with Ace Attorney thrown in - rising back up to The Curious Village heights is possible. This is certainly gonna be the first Layton to do better than the previous.

Inazuma Eleven's also a bit optimistic, since IE GO only managed 0.47m, but since the series was well over 1m with IE2, with IE3 getting close, too, and it's not particularly on decline, the bigger 3DS userbase could push it to 1m.

PMD's basically a guaranteed million seller, though. Red/Blue hit nearly 1.6m, Time/Darkness managed 1.54m and even Explorers of Sky, which was really nothing at all, got to nearly half a million. As long as the 3DS being less successful than the DS doesn't hit it too hard, this is certainly aiming for a million.

So, yeah, I'm sticking to 1m or more for all the five big titles releasing within the next few weeks, even if I live to regret it. Logic's not gonna stop this fanboy.

um...I love the 3DS but when have those games (except for AC) ever sold a million copies in Japan?  The 3DS is selling well but NOT that well to  warrant a million copies of those games in one region!!!  I'd say maybe worldwide, some would have a chance though.



nice. Vita no so much, but all others are more then solid.
