Animal Crossing released 4 months ago...at this rate, the game will run out of 3DS owners and people will start to buy second copies.....

 


About 30% of all 3DS owners have the game in Japan, that's a huge tie ratio. It's especially been key to pushing the female non-gamer demographic into buying the handheld. Bandai Namco recently suggested they recognized this growing market potential in the 3DS. Expect to see casual female targeted games. Maybe even some BL.

 

Whats BL?


Boys Love aka Yaoi aka man on man romance.



Former something....

Boy's Love. I only said maybe though, not sure how much of the fujoshi (gals who enjoy BL) demographic has been attracted.

Ok then, fine by me. I've got no problems with software targeted at different demographics, the more the merrier. But for now I am pretending that BL stands for Borderlands. BL on 3DS, oh yeah.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Media Create has to count the 2games bundle as 2 games.



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Can someone explain to me what the double pack excatly is?



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Two copies of the same game at slightly reduced total.

It's exactly what it sounds like, two copies of the game packaged together. It's also much cheaper than buying 2 separate copies. Because SS is touted as a social game (like Monster Hunter) to be played with friends, it's a great deal if you know someone who also wants the game.

I see, at first it didn't get the point, but thinking about the social thing it makes sense and it's actually a good way of making sure there's a healthy community playing together.

Animal Crossing does like 70k every week so everything above that must have done well.
