Forums - Nintendo - How High Will "Wii U" Sales Go In Japan This Week(Pikmin 3)? Dragon Quest X Had...

So How High Will It Be? (Japan has been having sales of 4k-7k per week on average O.o)

↓↓↓ Best Week So Far (Not counting January cuz it comes off from holidays)↓↓↓

Hardware Sales "Wii U" = 22,485

Dragon Quest X (WiiU)= 34,505

So What do Ya'll Think Pikmin 3 will push hardware? 20k? 30k? Maybe 40k?




Around the Network

21,000 hardware and 77,000 for Pikmin



25'000 Hardware sales at most for the week releasing Pikmin 3. I expect Pikmin 3 numbers to be alright, however.

Not surprising, you tend to be optimistic about things.

What do you think the cap will be?

Well looked up sales for the series and they seem decent. So I'm going to aim for a high prediction! 27k! Not sure, that might be a bit too high though. Judging by the sales, the series seem to decline in the wii era. Though those seem to be remakes in general so not sure.



Between 35-40k, probably.   Like I alluded to in another thread, I think Pikmin as a series is something loyalists buy.  It's a very niche game.   In other words, people who already own a Wii U.



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.

lol, you think too highly of me! But to be honest from wat im seeing from COMG/Amazon japan/marketing/etc im gonna say [Minumum=25K~~~Maximum 60k]. My most realistic guess will have to be 33k though, but i hope it at least goes over 40k. Sales on the game are at least gonna double DQX sales



30-35k for me. Should be a healthy week!



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I have a question; why is Wii U in quotes? Are we predicting for a faux Wii U or something?
