Azalyn's blog doesn't agree. Amazon.jp either.

Still, you're right about it'll flop.

Even worse than 38/48k?

Yikes... I kinda based on Medarot 7. It didn't featured in amazon.jp, comg and has made an appearance in Nintendo Direct a couple times.

Managed 49k. Minus 10k for brand name and there you go.

No, I meant that on Azalyn and Amazon.jp is 3DS > PS3

But we'll see... I expect lower numbers 30k/20k

This is all in my head, obviously, but having Online and a pseudo sequel to Lost Planet made the PS3 sell a little bit more according to my "calculations" (lol)

In a way, if this game bombs, I hope it bombs for good, like real flop. I think at least like that it will have a slightly better chance of being localized.

and the PS3 has a slightly larger userbase and console owners buy more games than handheld owners.

You mentioned Best Price re-releases for the PS3, but the 3DS also had one. Rhythm Theif R (Sega the Best) version also came out on 11/22!

Boxart on the official page.

I'm thinking about picking it up now at this new lower price.

I wouldn't advise it. That game really let me down. =^/

Really? I want to expand my 3DS library and was really considering it.

It's not terrible by any stretch, except for the games that require using the gyro controls (those are objectively bad), but it really didn't click with me at any point, and I'd put in over six hours.

No, they don't.

No, they don't.

You really don't want to compare attach ratios here. It's not even close. (5.86 for PS3 in Japan and 2.44 for 3DS in Japan)

Edit: Extra, PSP is 3.68 and DS is 5.30. 360 is 7.09. Wii is the only console that has a lower attach ratio than the DS at 5.25.

Attach rate doesn't mean a thing for your argument - using it as a base for weekly sales for a specific software is useless. Think about it. It doesn't matter if one PS3 user on average buys more games than one 3DS user. What matters here is that there are more software sold on portables than consoles - just 3DS beats PS3 + Wii + 360 this year. In other words, portables sell more software than consoles ("portabe ownerS buy more software, console ownerS buy less"), therefore being on PS3 does not give it more chances of selling more. In fact, it gives it less chances of selling more.

But we're talking an overall market or an overall number, we're just comparing the two games. I used a fact, that a console owner tends to more games for their consoles than a portable owner, to support my idea that the PS3 version will outsell the 3DS version.

What I'm saying is that that idea doesn't support your argument, as we're not talking about one person buying EX Troopers, but every person that buys EX Troopers. Just think about it... attach rate does not mean a thing for FW sales of a game. Total software sold means a lot. If there's more people buying software on portables (for a while), there's a higher chance of it selling more on portables, because the TOTAL software sold on portables is higher than the TOTAL software on consoles.

Think about it. To make an example... imagine a system that sold 5 units and each of those five users bought 50 games (wow! 50.0 attach rate). Now make a multiplat game with the 3DS (2.44 according to you). Which will sell more? 3DS, period. The other version will sell 5 copies at most. This is not the case with PS3, as it has potential of selling one game more than the 3DS version for a number of reasons, but definitely attach rate is not one of them.

You may be right (heck, I also thought PS3 version would sell more), but not because of this specific reason.
