Next week is going to be my second most expected MC week of the year (Lee Brave: Frying Fairy had more of that suspense in the air)

3DS:

+

Puyo Puyo (AKA Robotinik's Mean Bean Machine for us nostalgics)

And two games for the girls:

Jewel Pet

Stylle Savvy Clone number 843

 

Pinkest day ever. All those games are tiny and probably won't chart.

But Animal Crossing + Bundle will be huge - so, I predict 550-600k first week. Hardware I don't want to guess, but this week's MH bundle made me positive about AC special edition.

Vita:

No releases

PSP

No new releases (say wha??)

PS3

Shin Sangoku Musou 6 Empires - or Dinasty Warriors 7 (it's complicated)

No idea for both, but I think Silent Hill won't do good. But thinking now, DW may do very well, as musou games usually do. It did ok in comg.

XBox 360:

(Japanese box art is impossilble to find) but there's also a 320 gb bundle)

Wii:

No releases

Just quoting myself to add Halo 4 on the list. Sometimes is hard to remember Xbox 360 exists in japan.

Halo 3 did 87k in japan,  but reach dropped to 53k. I guess this one can reach a little more, like 70k.

I'm guessing people arent hyped up about the sequel because of fear it would turn out like the sequel of Tales of Symphonia?

Sequels released to games that were originally released on the same console always have drop offs. There are a few exceptions, but it is the rule.

"First day sell through for other titles

Dynasty Warriors 7: Empires - 50%
Halo 4 - 50-60%
Silent Hill: Downpour - 30%"

Oh, yeah, I forgot about Halo 4 on my pic-list, I'll add later.


You got the latest Vita vs Dreamcast comparison?

I want to see what it looks like since they've crossed streams a while back.

Here you go.

It was released outside of Japan as Tales of Eternia. Trust me, I own the PSP port.

Edit: Nevermind, I was wrong. They renamed Eternia to Destiny II for the PS1 release in the US. It was properly renamed to Eternia for the PSP port. The actual Destiny II never came over.

Iwata is the man.

And great for the game. If it sells out, definitely the biggest opening of the year, apart from Pokemon BW2.
