The bigger question is whether being the biggest selling game in a franchise at 230K is any sort of achievement? I think the bigger celebration is the fact that Fatal Frame 5 even exists given previous entries with global releases all sold what would normally regarded as quite badly.

The Wii U install base is plenty large enough to accomodate sales of >150K outside of Japan. So the main question is whether the Wii U install base outside of Japan contains that many gamers who would actually be interested in thhis series. It appears that Fatal Frame has never been on a Nintendo console outside of Japan, so how much of a following does fatal frame have within the Nintendo ecosystem?

EU is outside of Japan. Had Fatal Frame 2 Wii & the 3DS FF. Vgchartz has wrong numbers as always.

I stand corrected.

Vgchartz has no data of Japan Sales from the Ps2 games so I doubt we would know the exact numbers to beat.

Probably will given the abnormally high attach rate on the U, the series is not a high seller in particular so it doesn't have a high target either.

Nearly every Wii U exclusive game was pass 500k mark, I can see Fatal Frame V sell at least 500k.

For example, ZombiU is currently on 840k.

What is so special with this series that Nintendo wants to keep it?

They hesitate to make another Metroid because the last experimental one did not sell "well enough" (1.3 million).
It takes serious fan pressure to make another Star Fox (selling almost a million of a port of a 14 year old game).
F-Zero, Pilotwings, Wave Race, 1080º, Paper Mario, Mario Golf does not get new games while Fatal Frame is getting new chances even when it sells badly all the time.

-Metroid is probably in the work for Wii U.

-Nintendo said they wanted to make Star Fox on Wii but they didn't had new gameplay staffs, buy Wii U gamepad can deliver them

--Zero, Pilotwings, Wave Race, 1080º, Paper Mario, Mario Golf are all Nintendo 1st party games, Fatal Frame is not

That's why I gave Famitsu's numbers for Japan.

depends on whether or not naughty outfits make it to the west

and on how many naughty outfits are made in general haha

TBH I would buy the game if its a direct or improved copy of the Japanese release. ( I mean I have to wait so why not get the same content or more?)

I am not going to buy it (at least at full price) if it lacks content. It does not matter if its skimpy clothing or not.
I mean dont do the costumes at all then I have nothing to whine about but if you do make them, then give them to me.
