Start pitting it up against the big guns



Youkai Watch is crazy. We have a new "massive Japanese IP" on our hands to go alongside the other big guns.

Kudos, Level 5. Don't ruin this one.

These are the big guns, only 3 games on 3DS bigger than this, MH4 (3600+points) PokemonXY (1100points+ Each), and MH3G. MH3G might of had around 1100 points, but its sales were right in the beginning of 3DS life. It sold 560k+ FW (impresseive) but the some of the games im comparing it too did better (FW)

Good job tbone with the comparisson charts. Keep the good work man!

What are the top franchises in japan Overall? Looks like based on sales/popularity/etc...

 

1. Pokemon

2. Dragon Quest

3. Monster Hunter/Animal Crossing (Hard to choose)

4. Super Mario Bros (2D)

5. Final Fantasy

Others that are close? Mario Kart/Super Smash Bros/ Resident Evil

Something like this maybe? YW... Can probably be top 10 in franchises

Of ones that are still relevant?  Imo:

Pokemon > 2D Mario > Dragon Quest > Animal Crossing > Monster Hunter > Mario Kart >> Smash >> Final Fantasy >> Resident Evil > Metal Gear Solid

And various other stuff in between that has had peaks of popularity but that I'm not sure would be able to sustain it at high levels like these franchises have.

Youkai Watch should have no problem blasting past MGS/Resi/FF when it releases.  Could probably reach at least Smash levels.

Great list! Of course you cant determine all by sales cuz Brain Age would be up there but we all kno its not :p. MH had one of the biggest sales of all time in japan, but that was just one game. Hard to determine. Pokemon is by far #1, no questions ask. 

YW can hopefully be huge! Its already in that Tier 2 category imo! (Puzzle+Dragon/Tomodachi/etc).

Is this Thread Worthy? Would be interesting to see the community's opinions on it for sure Maybe i'll do one now :p
