@StarScream: Dont take it as an attack XD

I was just proud of my prediction. I don't usually take into account the past of the series, but the present of the console. You know, they turned this Basara into a multiplayer game, so I said, that's what PSP owners want judging from games that were successful. PSP has a more multiplayer focused userbase than the PS2, hence MH games performing way better.

As for Muramasa, I still say less than 25k first week, this kind of game on the Wii is very frontloaded, and considering that the userbase barely consists of core gamers, I doubt the number will grow that much. Wii needs a huge core game to draw gamers, no one will buy a console for a game like this, no one. I predict PS3 HW > Wii HW for the week too.

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.

Devs should stop releasing new core IP's or small core games for the Wii until there's a big core game released that can be able to draw in core gamers. They will keep on selling very poorly, it's their own choice though. Wait until MH3 releases or see your games sell badly.

 

It wouldn't have sold a whole lot better on the other systems either >_>

tres, you're becoming as annoying as last year. Don't be surprised if you're banned anytime soon.

 

It actually probably could have sold more on the PS2 seeing how the recent PS2 releases have been doing.



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

wtf are you talking about? No one is going to ban me over this, just tell me what did I say that's wrong? Stop being a kid, I'm not trying to upset anyone here.

It's a bad idea to keep on releasing games with a small core userbase, I'd bet you anything it would have sold better on the PS3 or PSP for instance. Why are you taking things personally?

I'm having an open discussion for God's Sake, you are getting pissed over my opinion.

The it coulda sold better on another platform is kinda dumb with such a small game. I wouldn't count Muramasa completely out yet though!

But they decided not to release it on the PS2...since it's a last gen system. Wouldn't have sold a whole lot more though, Odin Sphere had a 58k opening. It's a difference but it wouldn't make/break the game.

tres, it's a well known fact that you like to troll every single Wii thread. Or do you want me to gather up people that agree with me?

 

Well it probably would have been even cheaper to make on the PS2 ( and isn't that the most common argument given on why titles should go to the Wii ? Biggest user base and cheaper costs, well for niche third party titles in Japan I still think if you are going for cheap and HUGE install base, PS2 is the way to go...)

He's trolling his own console?

He kinda reminds of DMJ before he owned a PS3.

In that case every game should be on the PS2. At least the difference in making a PS2 to Wii game isn't so high compared to a Wii to HD game.

@outlaw

He's actually the biggest troll of the Wii. Pretty strange.

 

Every game isn't a cheap niche game...

Re5 on the PS2 woudn't sell the 3.15 million units it has sold so far...

not sure if Muramasa is gonna hit 56K with that opening though.

 

Don't doubt sale down the line. Fragile had a worse opening and it has hit 50k recently.

Actually I checked Fragile's opening before I made my post. They should have similar openings. It's a long way to go form 50K to 56K.

 



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

Hm, Muramasa doesn't seem too bad for the first week of a new IP; I don't think it'll have a significant drop-off for some time either.

Well, Fragile is at 48k actually, and this is supposed to hit 56k when exactly?
