i really, really doubt initial D is gonna have an impact on hardware sales.

heck, I doubted when you said Tales game suffered from "shortage".. I suppose we just have to bear our doubts.

Sucks for Tales..

It'll be lucky to hit 250k LTD in Japan, as it seems that there was major frontloading.

However, you could be hopeful that there were supply shortages. But for an RPG, thats NOT a good thing (see DQS)



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

johnsobas on 02 July 2008

i didn't say it suffered from a shortage, i said it may have if a second shipment didn't arrive. Meaning that it is a possibility and nothing more. Am I wrong?

We have no evidence that says initial D is gonna move consoles, there is a significant difference.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Soriky will be very disappointed. I guess the preliminaries overshot this.

well, then it's also POSSIBLE that Initial D could sell 65K software and maintain 19K PS3 hardware sales.

Just like there's no evidence Tales game suffered any shortage, as the franchise has NEVER suffered shortage ever.

the fact that the first shipment was 170k and it sold 151k is evidence.  How is that not evidence?  Get off your fanboy glasses and read.

I'm not even telling you to assume that it's supply constrained like many people would say on this site, all I said from the start is that it's a possibility IF a second shipment didn't come.

I KNEW the 200,000 preorders was just retailer preorders shouldnt expect high on this game if Soriku didnt hype this game >.

Now I realize I opened this thread in Nintendo Forum.

Could any mod move this thread to sales forum?

Thanks.

I think when there's 200K retailer copies out there while only 150K sold and yet you still claims "shortage", is pretty fanboy-ish, no?

heck, what's the point of "second shipment' When the first shipment was not even close to be sold out?
