I remember some Nintendo fanboys (Zero999?) giving me hell for saying this Mario won't be the huge system seller and that Christmas will give the console a bigger boost, than this game. Where are you now?

I'd also like to hear what he says about his prediction about wiiu selling close to 10m by the end of the year.

Doom everywhere. It's hard to feel bad for yet another Mario game not doing exceptionally well,  but I do hope X and Bayonetta 2 do so, as they desevre it more as far as I'm concerned.


I think Bayo will be a major bomb, but I hope X gets at least decent sales.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

I think Mario 3D will have decent legs because Mario usually does but I still don't like that it barely managed to break 100 k on first week, as for Lightning Returns, that's a lot less than previous FF games, but Lightning has been milked to death so it doesn't surprise me. Bad that the WiiU sales didn't increase more :(

Taiko no Tatsujin? More like Zaiko no Tatsujin.

Seriously though when was the last time you saw a full green stock symbol from Famitsu?

I believe the exact number was 5% sellthrough.

 

GTA closing in on 600k now. My my. Growth in Western franchises in Japan is bound to help the PS4 (and it'll need it).

It's safe to say that GTA is just as big or bigger than a mainline Tales or Kingdom Hearts game. Let that sink in....

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

I think these are joke news...

Did Namco ship 500k units of One Piece? You'd think they'd have learned from their other 3rd party 3DS titles.

Oh my.

Gaming is so rapidly declining in Japan it's painful to watch. This week is atrocious. Games flop and hardware bombs. I don't see how the PS4 (and well... XBOne if it'll even sell at all there) will not have the same problems, even after skimming over all the replies here. Everything is either already dead or dying. I mean, VitaTV. What the h*ll, they could just as well discontinue it right now and it wouldn't even matter.

Only the 3DS does something, but it's a far-cry still from the rocket that was the original DS. Realistically it's just Pokémon that sells, and a bit of Monster Hunter. If something isn't done fast in Japan on all fronts, gaming is basically dead at the end of the 8th Gen and almost completely moved to mobile.


True.

Man, I have to say... finally someone seems to understand what´s happening in the japanese market right now.

The simple promise of FFXV, KH3 and MGSV already locks the success of the PS4 (for a console in Japan).

Kingdom Hearts 3 maybe, but Final Fantasy and Metal Gear have been losing appeal to japanese consumers for quite some time

Do you have any evidence to back that up?  Seems to be going from strength to strength to me.

LOL, What is this? Final Fantasy XV will still sell over 1 Million in Week 1

Name any franchise on the wii u that could do that?
