Wow, MK8 may have a chance to beat 7 after all....

what? it's beating 7 since it's pre orders opened.


Don´t listen to them Zero, you and i know how thing are gonna be   :D


I want in on this click. 

Since now, you are part of the triforce of blind fanatism my boy!! Welcome!


I hereby declare you, POE, to be the Triforce of Courageous Fanaticism! Zero999, I hereby declare you to be the Triforce of Powerful Fanaticism! And that leaves Clyde32 as the Triforce of Wise Fanaticism! If a chosen Hero worthy of wielding the entire Triforce of Blind Fanaticism uses it for good, the Sacred Beast, Mario Kart 8, will bring peace to Wii U and Nintendo. But if a horrible evil attempts to wield the Triforce of Blind Fanaticism, it will shatter and Mario Kart 8 will massively flop, and Wii U will be left in ruins!


Then I accept my Triforce. I will use it wisely. Of course you two know...this means I am going to need you to get banned for me to have the other two pieces.

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.

I dunno about some of those arrows. Also, MH is bigger than DQ without question. I'm also not sure if Pokemon X/Y also wasn't as popular as most games in teh series.

Wait, are you doubting 1 pokemon game makes it as though its not the most popular franchise in japan? Thats like saying Gran Turismo isnt popular at all anymore Cuz of GT6 sales which are below 3mil (while the rest are 10mil+ aside from the psp game).

Its not 100% based on sales, its based on a mixture of things, pokemon is definitely #1 there, i mean New Super Mario Bros outsold the last 4 gens of pokemon but it is by no means > right? :0

As for DQ vs MH, thats debatable imo. DQ imo is definitely bigger than MH. I think some just look at MH4+MHP3 sales. Animal Crossing you can say is bigger than MH based on that as well :)

Your move :p

 

Edit: Pokemon XY isnt as big as the other 5 gens. All others have crossed 5mil mark. Pokemon XY should be somewhere around 4.35mil (4.45mil with digital). Its second year is wat is the problem. Funny though as Europe has sales doing very well compared to other s in the franchise



If MK8 is able to keep this kind of pace for the whole week, we can even expect it to finish anywhere between 350-400 points at release date.

That would be a HUGE success based on Wiiu userbase.

By the way, the WiiU console , which has been absent of amazon jp most wanted top 100 for months is now in the top 40. Another good sign...

He specifically said recently. Animal Crossing being bigger than MH is definitely arguable. MH and AC are bigger than DQ. MH's last two PSP entries both did similar or more than the highest selling DQ (MHP3 doing 4.87 mill is 500k more than any DQ). B/W2 and X/Y are both way down from Diamond/Pearl.

like i said your looking at it as more of a sales thing. Look at Zelda+GT. Last entries are nowhere near the levels of previous titles (in sales), does not mean they are less popular. And why did you compare BW2? Thats not a new gen installment, it doesn't count with the other 5 installments!

Also BW2 is the best selling pokemon director cut (installments after the new gen pair) in japan! In that sense, Pokemon BW2 are both way Up from Emerald/Platinum/Crstal :p

Srry i misread that, even taking into account recent, Pokemon XY is still the highest selling gen 8 games and by far. (Its still the biggest franchise)

 

Edit: AC is #1 in japan still, that thing has so much sales digital, must be over 4.5mil by now :)

 



Woo Freedom Wars and stuff, YAY!!!



Damn, boy! The top 3 is going insane!

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


You're Tbone.  I'm sure you're going to make a thread about it :P

And yeah, that's why I said "that are still relevant".  Because Brain Age is dead :P
