Being # in tsutaya charts during a slow period for games is no garuntee of x amount of sales, if sales of everything else are low it doesnt take much to be on top, as such waiting for actual figures is the only way to know for sure.


while your statement is very true, your still missing the point that pikmin 3 will easily have at least double of what you predicted! imo the least we'll see is 80k

Its the WiiU, we hear "wait till xx releases, youll see", all the time and to date nothing has pulled in truly amazing numbers as predicted, given the lay of the land assuming ANYTHING without solid numbers is a bad choice with regards to the WiiU.

Can u give some examples? There hasnt been a quality exclusive release since Lego City in March and that did give a decent boost, the only thing Is they didnt have a follow up to keep those sales. Pikmin is a bigger exclusive and has a steady stream of good software from this point on.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Cuz last time i checked no games have been released in almost 4 months in japan(WiiU). I really hope you dont say Game+Wario cuz nobody expected that game to sell.

Is there a particular reason why you are restricting it to games released within the past 4 months?

Woah woah woah man, why are you not using my updated prediction of 117k?



i like how your prediction went up by 32k lol, must be that thread i posted!

I actually amended the figure about a week ago, when I saw the points total for COMG. I posted the prediction in that thread, but you must have missed it.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

How about you use your head and actually look at the previous weeks' numbers and then look at the chart again and see how ridiculous your guess is.

Famitsu - 102k
Media Create - 92k

For anyone interested.

VGChartz will average that out to 97k I think.
