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 am sure you played through the game and genuinely disliked it.


Never made such a claim or even believe that it's a bad game. But as a former NInty fan, I'm beyond tired of the number of Mario titles released over the years and I see Bayo and especially X as a step in the right direction based on my personal tastes alone.

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

Peace Walker is the highest selling Metal Gear Solid game in Japan..

Edit: Nvm lol hadn't seen the other replies.



We can't deny whats happening in Japan



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

Those you think PS4 will sell like Wii U are wrong, totally.

PS4 will sell much better than PS3 and better than Wii U.

It will be more like PS2 was in Japan ( 15-20M only in Japan) , it will show you Japan home console gaming is not dead. Quote me on that. ;)






I remember when Wii U failed here, everyone was saying that microsoft/sony consoles wouldnt do better, then, they did...



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

How is 3D World a bomb
selling about 60% of the supply would mean that it met Nintendo's expectations
also we have no digital sales, the game is pretty small and no WiiU owner should have trouble downloading it, so i'm guessing that it had a bigger opening week that Super Mario 64 DS Which makes the future look OK
about a million or so life time
what killed the game in Japan is most likely the second trailer which should that the game was not following 3D Land all the way which made it less linear and japanese gamers simply prefer linear mario game and that's why 3D Land is the best selling 3D Mario and why Super Mario Bros. 2 surpassed 3D Land

edit: 3D World's shipment is between 180000 and 214000 units so good first week

 

Oh lawd. I didn't think anyone would try to defend it, let alone call it a good first week.

I did say that it looks to have OK lifetime sales

however having a shipment of 180K or so and selling 101K is good not to mention digital sales

if it has digital sales of 30K this week (doubtful) then it'll havea better first week than 64DS which sold over 1 million life time so this is why i said that it was a good first week

Remember wether being good or not is relevant to Nintendo if they only shipped 180K then i'm pretty sure that 101K first week is satisfying for them but we'll see how it holds up for the rest of the year

Shipment is based on consumer demand and interest...

It's not like Nintendo forces copies at retailers. Retailers have to buy the copies from Nintendo and if they don't feel the interest from consumers then they won't order a lot of them.

And so shipment is only so telling.

I never said otherwise but if Nintendo only got <200K orders for shipment then they are definetly not expecting more than this

Digital sales should beinteresting because while they mean nothing for games like TW101 on WiiU due to the games large size small games like Mario might receive a huge push from digital sales



bet with ash3336 he wins if Super Mario 3D World sells less than Mario Sunshine during the first three years, I win if 3D World outsells Sunshine's first 3 years. Loser get sig controlled for 3 months (punishment might change)

Do you doubt the WiiU? Do you believe that it won't match the GC?

Then come and accept this bet

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

Just like 2D Mario, Dragon Quest and Monster Hunter, much bigger franchises, locked the one for Wii U.

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

If Wii U had received the next mainline entries of these series exclusively you'd have a point.

FFXV, KH3, and especially MGSV aren't exclusive either.
