I actually hate it when Japan shun their quirky games when they are actually fun and accessible but then buy random shit like Conception please have my baby -___-

You're operating under the assumption that Conception is an awful game.

Not that its bad, just that its random. And likely on par with 101 (or at least not much better)

Also there are plenty of objectively bad games like Dynasty warriors which they just lap up. I don't understand.

Really great 2nd place for Conception 2! I downloaded it from the Japanese PSN at release, loving it so far :) Can't wait for MC, but it already proves that niche otaku fans have moved to Vita in Japan.

lol @ The Wonderful Bomba

Are you inferring that those two statements are different? JRPG fans are niche otaku fans. There are a few mainstream JRPGs, but they make up ~5% of the genre.

Of course are different. These games sell 50k, and almost never sell 100k (a few exceptions already mentioned).

Mainstream jRPG are Tales of and Kingdom Hearts nowadays. In the past, the market was flooded. Examples are Star Ocean, Brave of Fire, Chrono Trigger, Xenogears, Valkyria Chronicles, White Knight Chronicles, Vagrant Story, Blue Dragon, The Last Remnant... 

All these games sell in a different market, it's not the otaku crowd, and of course sell more (at least +200k)

A lot of this IP are dead now being DQ, FF and a few strong others the only survivors. And now it seems the only jRPG are the otaku/niche.

Reckon Vita should be around 17k this week, good stuff.

Maybe W101 will stop the Wii U from falling, but Idint predict a boost with those sales.


Wasn't it 16k last week without any new releases? 

If so I'm thinking 22k or somethinfg.


That week was Obon, however. So, it can't be used as the standard as everything increased. And with the PS3 releasing at the same time, I expect this to be another Dragon's Crown deal, only half as big.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

So sad to see Wonderful101 potentially selling around 5k on it's first week. That 30k shipment rumour was probably sure cause at this point, who knows if they will even sell through that shipment. I am confident though that the west will save it (Probably is going to sell 400-500k LDT).



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

That is really a flop for the ages if it sells only 5-10k. I don't remember a "relatively" high profile (hey, Nintendo have been promoting it themselves quite often) game selling that little in a long time. Even most Western games on the freakin' 360 sell more than that FW.


Lost Planet 3 will be this year's flop. Don't delude yourself, look at what Capcom thinks it will sell (1M+).

While 101 will be a flop in Japan, you're being ludicrous with just using Japan as a flop-o-meter. We can't judge sales until September 15th.

I hate being right about W101. I really wanted it to succeed. Ohwell.
