Destiny week 2 vs. HW week 1....


No clue, that was meant to be at the end of my sentence. O_o

Yes, it was second week, but I find it hard to believe it dropped down to four digits in a single week for such a volumetric game and marketting budget (unless the Germans are keen on not buying shit...). All I am saying is that we're looking at a point in time where the PAL charts and general guestimates at numbers based on rankings (for UK figures) don't seem to be that far off. Unless you think Destiny fell off a cliff in Germany, and that France's #2 is <5 digits.

Destiny definitely fell off a cliff in Germany (even VGC has a 85% drop), but I would think that HW is floating around 10-15k in the biggest regions. The 22k VGC posts seems too high. France is also at 19k which is higher than the very believable 15k in the UK. Having a hard time believing it sold better in Germany than France and the UK.

I'm going to be sorry to break it to everyone, but it's almost certainly overtracked. Japanese game + Europe = VGC overtracking.

If it's overtracked, prove it with shipment/sales data



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

I tend to use UK as the basis, and then more often then not, scale upwards by a small-to-large percent to find France/Germany as they are often times better buyers of Nintendo products, for a Zelda title with some advertising behind it (even if it lacks Zelda in the name), I can see pulling decent% higher figures outside of UK.

Terrible for a brand Zelda game. I fear Nintendo decides to delay Zelda U for 2016 and focus on pushing Hyrule Warriors during 2015.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

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

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

I'm just trying to help expectations as VGC's EU tracking of Japanese has been horrendous for games on all platforms. That's all.

It's what was expected. Neither good nor bad. Zelda franchise was sure to give this game a boost and it did, it will also guarantee the best legs in history of the genre. I'm interested how much better it's gonna do in NA. Nintendo would be getting better numbers in EU if they weren't flat out ignoring a massive chunk of it. As long as they keep on doing that, they have only NA to count on.

What part of EU is Nintendo ignoring?


Central and Eastern. In my country it's impossible to find a Wii U in any shop. I have never seen one on a shelf. Some random games (3-5 games) yes, but a console - never. And I live in a big city (the aglomeration is 1.2 mil).



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.
