Hyrule Warriors breaks 100k, is that good for a Musou game? I thought they did a lot more usually.

I guess the Warriors saving Zelda/Nintendo in Japan had failed somewhat but I guess it can still be a very successful Warriors game in the west with the Zelda name behind it so all is not lost.

The Musou crowd is on the PS consoles, so of course it has preformed poorly for a Musou game. I think its mainly the Zelda fanbase purchasing it and thats the same I would expect from the west. Difference being that Musou>Zelda in Japan but Zelda>>>>>>>>>>>>>Musou in the west.

Well, there's obviously a few Musou fans on the U or it would have flopped. Plus, isnt there also a One Peice  Musou game on Wii U that did alright?


Plus Fist of the North Star 2.

Also wasn't Samurai Warriors 3 out first on the Wii?

Don't get me wrong, Musou's home is PS but I think it has a decent enough impact on Nintendo.

Once the japan games come ps4 is easily going to win japan and have a much healthier baseline...all this talk about Japan is premature.

So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Samurai Warriors 3 sold 320k on Wii which isnt bad but it was a drop for the series (to be fair SW4 has sold similary on PS platforms)

No other Musou game on Wii/WiiU even sold 100k until Zelda Musou

All Japan only numbers obviously

This is purely out of curiousity, what would you consider a healthy baseline for PS4? 
Without a doubt it will be healthier, but I just need an idea of what people consider healthy in the Japanese market now a days.

Anyone wanna post famitsu?


I can add it to OP...


Yes please, we usually do add it. Because the two are so different usually.


No problem... after climbing out of formatting hell, I have produced something legible.  LOL.

Destiny outsold Hyrule Warriors! (and Destiny PS4 alone should beat Bayo 2 and Fatal Frame V combined)

when?WIU] Hyrule Warriors – 3,365 / 100,177 vs [PS4] Destiny – 91,277 ! WΑΙΤ!Probably you combined ps3 and ps4 version but it is unfair you know...!as for the bolded...just loooooool!;)

How so? PS3 Destiny is Destiny and PS4 Destiny is Destiny too. So Destiny sold 140K, which is above Hyrule Warriors LTD.


hahahhha if you feel okay to say that two different versions of the same game outsells one game which is exclusivity,then i retreat!


Guess it'll be fine to combine SSB sales for similar purposes.....



03/10/09 HUGE day in my life:

That is quite the excellent opening for SSB and Destiny! Not a great boost for 3DS though



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

After that week, some people still doubt about PS4 leading home console sales in Japan ? If only a new color + western games did 5k better than the biggest Nintendo IP , Mario Kart 8, it seems obvious.

again with this eternal delusion? and I mean both the delusion that playturd 4 will lead japan AND comparing front loaded games with mario kart.


Dont speak for nothing

The fact a simple new color( or destiny) did better for PS4 than what MK8 did for Wii U means a lot about the PS4 popularity there, they just need the reason to buy it, and if such small reason like Destiny/white color is enough, it will be interesting to see big games effects

except it didn't do more than mk. mario kart isn"t front loaded.

It gave a better boost FW, no way to spin that.

That shows like i said that if japanese only need a small reason to buy so much PS4, when they'll get big reasons to buy one, PS4 will dominate in Japan too without a doubt. ( wanna make a bet maybe)



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

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