If I remember correctly, SM3DW had sold 20% of it's stock first day as well and it ended up selling quite well. Legs > first day sales. Hopefully, tropical freeze has some strong legs.

Selling out of the first shipment faster and get more shipments >>>>>>> Selling out the first shipment slowly after retailers discount the game.


3DW was not discount and sold very well in the "end"

3D World did 60% of its shipment, not 20%. And I wouldn't describe 3D World's sales in Japan as very well.

Yoshi's Island is a March release, and like I said befoe it's hard to be hyped for Bravely Second when Default just released.

So all we're left with is Smash Bros, which is available on WiiU, Persona (and I hate Dungeon crawlers) and Monster Hunter, which is niche in North America.

Where is the system seller? I guess it's Smash Bros this year, but :-/ Nothing interesting for me. All I want is DQVII, Advance Wars 3DS or a Metroid game.

No offense, but you liking or disliking these games doesn't affect their chart performance. Persona is a fairly popular IP, 3DS is very strong in Japan and that could make SSB/3DS outperform the Wii U version, Bravely Default was a pretty well-performing new IP in Japan and it released like 2 years ago; it's not like the market is oversaturated with Bravely Default games.

Are you talking about sales performance or just your personal opinion on upcoming games? It just seems to be kind of a jumble here....

really? for a dead console SM3DW sales aren't good? Its like saying Pokemon XY sales aren't good cuz somebody compares them to pokemon red/blue. I said the same for GT6. I think too many compare games to the highest of series. Dont get me wrong, SM3DW sold less than expected but by no means it wasnt good



Soon Mario Kart 8 will appear on COMG. Preorders already opened and it's #1 on Amazon Japan ~nearly 3 days now. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!



It'll be biggest Wii U seller in Japan for sure.

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.

Why are you bringing in America into this?

Yoshi will release in Summer in Japan and Bravely released 2 years ago as of this year and with a Director's Cut last year. I think that it should count.

Anyways, you forgot Kirby for May in America too and Nintendo will obviously announce more between now and E3 for a line-up later this year, so what's the problem?

This was just a general complaint for myself, I'm not looking forward to many 3DS games.

For Japan, yes there is Bravely Second, and a couple games releasing in the summer (Persona, Yoshi's Island), bu other then that, what else is there? Is Smash Bros the only big game announced? Well that and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate....

Only 2 Nintendo platform games are charting! This is sad

3D world sold 20% of it's shipment on it's first day. Were not talking about first week.

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

Yeah, and it launched right before the holiday season, when WiiU sales grew exponentially. I'm not expecting anything similar from DK.

I agree, I hope TF does end up having strong legs. However, I highly doubt it will unfortunetly.

Ok, I didn't catch that it was a bit of what you wanted.  If we think relative to last year, then we only had Pokémon as the only big game announced for later during the year. Zelda was announced in April, so we should be getting something by that time. I think it's better to think of the line-up until May and then we'll see what's in store. It's not like there are few games from now till then.

Bring on the Mario Kart! Please go back to the awesomeness of Double Dash with the thrills of F-zero! I don't think I could face another Mario Kart like the Wii instalment :/ Mario Kart 7 was definitely a step in the right direction, but a bit too much like going through the motions.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:
