Forums - Nintendo - Fragile: Pipe bomb or Hiroshima?

209K should be possible for Fragile I think

May as well give my prediction: I'll put it around 120k.

@darth: I still think you're overshooting it. tri-Crescendo's best selling game so far is Eternal Sonata (.14m PS360), and the game seemed more traditional than Fragile (safer bet?). ES also scored 4 points higher on famitsu.

Here, some Japan RPG sales on the PS2 that sold below Blue Dragon:


Suikoden V Konami

0.19m

Xenosaga Episode III: Also Sprach Zarathustra Namco 0.18m

Shadow Hearts Midway Games 0.11m

Odin Sphere Atlus 0.09m

Dark Cloud Sony Computer Entertainment 0.08m

It's silly to judge the Wii based on an unproven, new IP. We don't even know if this game would sell on the PS2. I suggest waiting for the bigger franchises to arrive.

To use Hiroshima in terms of sales is most stupid thing I've ever read on VGChartz. How old are you? Do you actually know what you are talking about? I hope a mod will close this thread.

 

 um.. sensitive are we. Hiroshima a very large bomb. Pipe bomb, a small bomb.

Translation, Fragile: A Small bomb or a Megabomb? > reply

 

Also, i think the game will do fine, it seems to have a bit of hype over there. 100 1st week. 200k lifetime (stubby legs)



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

i hope it does good =/
i'll pick it up when it gets here, it looks like it has a really interesting story.

i pray for its success.

all I know is its a new IP & a JRPG that has been hyped here on vg chartz endlessly.

BTW

I am shocked Persona 4 has sold that low.....maybe its not fair comparing fragile to WKC then.

 

 lol, hyped up endlessly? Fragile? Hardly.

Not nearly as hyped as one of the 15 past failed PS3 saviors. If any group here has an issue with over hyping ever game that say "Only For" on it, it would be the PS3 fans.

So far games that were "hyped" for the Wii, MP3 (success), SMG (success), Brawl (success), TOS2(I like it, but moderate sales), WiiFit (success)

Hmm those are the only games I remember having major hype, there were a few games that once they came out people were like this games is awsome everyone buy (Z&W and NMH)

Basically I cant think of any games for the Wii that have been highly hyped and failed. I sure there is one, but I didnt come up with any.

It was less of a party than 3 friends gathering up for a drink. Myself, Soriku, and Valkyria00 or whatever his forum name is =P

well, I'll help you.

1) Lair 2) Heavenly Sword 3) GTA4 4) Metal Gear Solid 4 5) Resistence 6) Resistence 2 7) Little Big Planet 8) HOME

there, those are 8, only 7 more. they WERE sucessful, and some of them really good (namely MGS4,) but they were NOT the PS3 saviors like people said theyd be.
