Ni No Kuni is doing wonderful digitally, so it'll win LTD. Retail will probably go to Fire Emblem though.


how much does Ni No Kuni have??? In US FE has over 100k in digital sales alone and this was back in Sept (my guess its over 150k by now)


PSN has way more users than the eShop. So whatever FE has managed it won't be more than Ni No Kuni has.


By that logic, any digital sale on the PSN has more sales than the highest selling digital game on the eShop.  Your only point you have is that the PSN has more users, but that by itself tells us virtually nothing.

 
Well if his statement was true than all vita games in japan sold 300k+ (more than MH4)

Stop being silly tbone. You know what he meant. A PS3 game available on PSN is likely sell more than on 3DS because of the much larger userbase and how well things have sold digitally in the past.  And I'm pretty sure the numbers from Famitsu for MH4 digital were under 300k.

Ni No Kuni. It's the better game and the system it's on has a bigger userbase.


Oh gawd. Didn't take too long for posts like this to pop up. I suppose it's natural, with one being a Nintendo 1st-party game, and another being a Playstation exclusive. Kinda sad really, since both are superb games.

Seriously. Some fans here...

Ni no Kuni was originally released for the Nintendo DS.

However something you're not taking into consideration here is the fact that Fire Emblem has a much higher ratio than normal for digital due to supply issues.  It's not going to be the usual "10%."

Yes, the fact it had supply issues is why it's going to close or above 10%. For big retail games, digital numbers are still pretty low. MH4 had major supply issues in Japan and even released on eShop several hours before shops opened, and still ended with 8-10% ratio. Only reason people are high on Ninokuni is because it's been <$10 on sale several times.

The 3DS will stay relevant a bit longer then the PS3 so I would say Fire Emblem.

I wouldn't bet on that as Sony's consoles are known for their legs. I wouldn't be surprised if the 3DS was discontinued before the much older PS3.

Well that all depends what happens with the Vita if Sony discontiues that and makes a new handheld then Nitendo is pretty much forced to start development on a succesor to the 3DS early.  Also Fire Emblem is pretty much full retail still everywhere so it hasn't got its discount legs yet which Ni no Kuni is currently enjoying.

Have you played Ni No Kuni before making that statement?

Hint: I'm trying to use tbone51's wisdom here.
