Why would it be miraculously? It's pretty much a given, either one or two will probably come close to that game in pre-orders on here for the Wii U, maybe even nothing.


I think you missed my point.  In 13 days, there are only going to be Sony games in the chart unless something for WiiU or 3DS shows up.

Given the pattern of pre-orders for previous WiiU games (i.e. Mario 3D World; Donkey Kong) only showing up a few weeks before release (and Mario Kart 8 is something like 3 months away), it's not going to be the game to change that.

I'm not saying it won't show up - of course it will.  I'm asking whether it's likely to show up in the next 13 days.

Sorry, my bad then. Well, I guess that with the release of the PS4 and some other games leaving soon, there is the possibility of 3DS games or MK showing up.

If mk keeps it's amazon position for a while, it won't take long untill it shows up.

yeah, lately it would take around 180 points of sales to reach that.


Basis for arriving at that number?  Are you comparing point / FW sales to previous Yakuza games?  In which case, can I see the numbers please out of genuine interest?

Next 3ds game to show up? That DX game? AA 123? Or maybe that FF game?

Mario Party Island Tour releases end of Mario then.....Mario Golf? Persona Q (June)?

Seriously, where are all the 3DS games? After Mario Golf the only big games are Smash Bros and Persona. I want more JRPG's! Localize DQ7 in NA, and announce Advance Wars already!

the basis is that lately I've seen lots of titles getting x points in sales and the actual sales being around 0.5k per point.

dragon quest for example, 1000 points and under 500k sales. same with sengoku basara and mobile suit gundan.

Check the first link in my sig.  I've seen lots of titles get x points in sales and actual sales around 1.5k-2k per point.

There are so many variables that a blanket statement like that just doesn't fly.  

I'm not saying that Yakuza is going to sell 100k - I have no idea.  I'm saying if you're going to make an assumption like that, do some research for it.  Find some similarities to other titles rather than picking two PS3 titles (in its 8th year on the market) and Dragon Quest (something like the 2nd or 3rd biggest IP in Japan).

So for example - how have previous Yakuza games done in points vs. FW sales?  How did PS3 launch titles do in points vs. FW sales?  That'll give you a better picture.

Oh right Bravely Second.

Still..... :-/ We just got Bravely Default, so no point getting hyped for the sequel already, and I'm going to get Smash for WiiU, not both.

Just feels like if you don't like Smash or Persona, after May 3DS is looking very boring.... I hope they announce something big at E3, and not just Pokemon Z.

If Persona is big, then we have Senran Kagura 2, MH4U, Yoshi's Island after Mario Golf and possibly Bravely 2. We'll probably also get new titles. Before Mario Party we have, Theatrythm 2, Love Plus+, Harvest Moon, Mario Party. 

The real problem is that the 3DS doesn't have anything that can drive sales back on track, maybe Smash for a week or two, but no other games in my list has that potential and that's what's hurting it.
