PSNova not good at all, almost Phantasy Star Bomba at this point. EO2 bad too, surely series fatigue settling in. Not a good idea to milk it like they're precisely doing...

Fate Hollow clearly well above expectation, if not the best-selling VN ever.

And just pointing out that a Senran Kagura Vita spin-off 8-month late re-release did about 1/3 of what the new main entry did on 3DS FW. Hope the message is crystal-clear to Marvelous...


I know, after looking at this post it all makes sense! Senran Kagura Should only be on Vita..... and PS only for 3ds! It just makes sense :0

As in Phantasy Star??

If thats all it could manage on the mighty DS I doubt it would have done better on 3DS than Vita.

Don't bother ktay. He's just trying to slapfight ryuzaki.

Look at install base of 3DS and PSV... Sales potential is much larger...

Also 370K for a DS game is extremely profitable due to development costs being on the level of 5th generation...

PS franchise had very little to no presence on Nintendo platforms... PS0 almost matched PSP in USA... lol

Not surprised... Seriously... Only Tales Of game on Gamecube is also the best selling on in the franchise...

If Bamco want to sell Tales well in west, Nintendo platform is the answer...

If only this reflected current reality. And if 370k is extremely profitable, I wonder how much more profitable 900k on the PSP was.

I tried saving the second post :/

Media Create. It says in the OP.

I'm teasing you cone. I'm pretty sure I didn't spot MC in the OP when I originally clicked on thread. Oh well.

Don't worry I know that! 

Also it was in a table which didn't come out properly so I guess the Media Create didn't either. I just deleted the table and copied across the Media Create; which is likely why you can see it now.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Dragon Age actually did better than I thought it would. Xbox One over 1k at least, could certainly be worse.

There's never limit for the worst.   Maybe I'm wrong, but X1 shouldn't be launched in Japan.

SEGA realy destroyed the hype by advertising episode 3 of PSO2 vita version one week before P.S.N release, it was absent at some online retailers charts during the first week. But the game will have legs

My my, Sega is definitely not going to be happy with those sales. I never thought it'd go that low.

Pssssssst.... Ø in the title, destined to fail :0

Who knows, it could maybe do better on 3ds............................... DualScreen + 3D!!!


Stealing this from someone on GAF but if a Toukiden expansion pack can sell slightly less than Phantasy Star Nova on Vita, I'd say the problem was with the game rather than the choice of platform.

It's done terribly by all metrics, but they made some seriously bad choices with it.  The only benefit to being on 3DS would be that it doesn't have Phantasy Star Online 2 to compete against.

Weren't you predicting explosive sales this week?  It's not going to have legs.  It's a hunting game from an established franchise and the user reviews are poor.  The only legs it may have are from being a holiday title, but I doubt it.

You might want to check that again.  Unless you're talking about the USA only, in which case, the circumstances surrounding Symphonia's release aren't going to be recreated again.

But it's a pretty pointless discussion, because Baba has already said he's not shopping the series around a load of platforms again this generation.  And given the anaemic state of WiiU over there, it's going to be PS4 or nowhere if it doesn't take off properly in Japan.

It's kinda sad how meh the WiiU is doing right now compared to a year ago in Japan... It went from 28k to 12k.. :/

Everything is down though. Not even PS4 could catch the half of that quantity. 



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
