I so not understand all the negativity in this thread.

Half the comments make no sense to me.

Oh well.

It is not negativity, is realistic approach. The game is violent and rated M which rules out childs, moms, families in general. The franchise is unknown for Nintendo casual fans (those who buy Mario and co), the hype is low among gamers in general as not many will buy the console just for this game and is released on a moment were several other titles are coming out.

Can it do 1 million?, maybe. But is better to be prepared for something lower (or way lower) and be happily surprised, than start with high hopes.


I doubt the hype is low.

 

But I mainly meant how the very existence of Operation Platinum suddenly means the game is destined to sell very little and nintendo has suddenly handed all advertising to the fans and yadda yadda. I'm more confident in the game than most here but It's not like seeing really low predictions is unexpeced for this

Rename it Fifty Shades of Greyonetta...

34 billion units sold!


Or just get Oprah or Ellen to endorse it. All three very easily accomplishable ideas!

Why would they endorse such a sexist game?



I am a fan of good games, I grew up with Nintendo but i have multiple consoles and a gaming PC. I will not buy a XBOX One do to the stupid policies they tried root. People have power to sway the changes companies want to make. On the flip side of that companies can take a stand to prove a point. Make a great game, does not matter what system, people will there way to it. I love the that Platinum Games does not seem the least bit concerned with the number of Wii-U's sold thus far. They are not just making a game for the system, they are trying to be a part of the Wii-U's success. It takes a Bold stance and an admirable one at that, for a company to not teeter on the fence and wait for something to get Profitable so they can put there hands in their pockets. But to be confident enough and believe in what they are making to be a defining part of something bigger. I did not play the first one, I will be buying the 2nd. I urge other to do the same, we too can be part of the momentum that leads to the Wii-U's success. Nintendo is in no danger of going out of business, but many people like to point out the doom and gloom of the company. It would be sad world without them, for all gamers. Nintendo innovates, they are the reason for a lot of ideas and "firsts" for console gaming. Rumble,analog and first 3d game with Mario 64, just to name a few. President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America said that companies watch Nintendo, and emulate their successes, and he personal owns 2 Wii-U's. The new CEO over the Xbox recently said, Nintendo is the best first party developer in the world. So even if Nintendo is not your favorite gaming console, the industry as a whole is better with them in place.



Seems like #OperationPlatinum is really picking up steam. JP Kellams of Platinum Games will go to TGS wearing an #OperationPlatinum T-shirt using a logo that's sent to him by supporters.



If any of you want to support #OperationPlatinum and can make a decent looking logo, it'd be awesome if you made one and tweeted it to him (@PG_jp)! Use an image hosting link for the logo.

Thanks! :)

It's almost cute that they think this could actually work.

Why can't it? Worked with Operation Rainfall.


not really O.R. was a bunch of kids that didnt do anything at all just wasted their time.  They got fame for nothing.

Nintendo was going to bring the games anyways.

The Bayonetta thing tho is different. People can have an impact on the sales by buying it  O.R. on the other hand was just kids dreaming and trying to fix something that didnt need a fix since it was happening anyway.

I will answer you with a question... When is the game releasing in Europe and America?

Yay some success!

Hopefully some of the followers have some mad design skills to make a great shirt.

Objectifying women and portraying them as strong, independent, free-willed and sexy are two sides of the same coin.



I presume somewhere in the last 9 pages people started making predictions...

I predict this operation gets at least an extra 5k sales for the game, 10k an absolute max.
