Any reason why samurai warriors 3 is holding as well as it is?

It's a great action game that isn't a port of a PS2 game (rare when it comes to Action games on Wii.)

 

PS3 gets them all the time but devs never gave Wii a chance, it's aways PS2 or PSP and Wii.



Gaming make me feel GOOD!

Expect massive drops (50%+) next week across the board as the holidays are now over!

do you expect NSMBWii to drop massivly too considering there have been rumors about a NSMBWii shortage?




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

EXCELLENT FOR FF13, I will be happy with anything over 40K next week for it

2 Million is in the bag!

Generally you should expect a 50% drop across the board next week followed by a further 50% drop the week after back to normal levels.

For NSMB Wii I expect slightly less since it is a little supply constrained this week. I'd estimate that without supply issues it would have sold ~350k this week so I'd expect maybe 150k next week and 70k the week after if supply is there.

For FF XIII I'd expect 50k next week then 25k the week after and a slow crawl to 2m.

There are always a couple of games that don't drop as fast and end up doing well in Jan - not sure which games those will be this year but anything that went up a few places in this weeks chart is a good contendor. NSMB Wii should stay top 5 for a good few months though...

oh right so two weeks of 50% drops

I wonder where FFXIII will stabilize..

No clue myself, but I', starting to think Basara 3 Wii may not do so bad now.

Koei should do some more Wii Musou at least.  We'll probably get Hokuto Musou Special next or something.  I think they could even delve back into the back catalog though (Gundam Musou Z (1+2), Sengoku Musou Z (1+2), etc).

I think Musou fits well on Wii - they should do more original titles. It could be one of those suprise Japan titles that doesn't drop as fast as expected and does well through Jan/Feb

I think Muosu 3 is definitely surprising people.  I also think it'll get ported to 360/PS3 (and maybe PSP/PS2) in the spring though.  Musou never seem to stay exclusive, but I think we'll be seeing different series "lead" on different platforms now, then get ported to everyone...

 

PS360

  • Shin Sangoku Musou (Dynasty Warriors)
  • Hokuto Musou (Fist of the North Star)
  • Gundam Musou 

Wii

  • Sengoku Musou (Samurai Warriors)

PSP

  • Shin Sangoku Musou Multi-raid (DW Strikeforce)

 

 

...not sure what else might lead on Wii, maybe they'll shift Orochi Musou over next (it hasn't led on anything but PS2)?  Or make a deal with Nintendo (Super Mario Musou, lol)?  Actually, there were "Sonic Musou" rumors a year ago, I could see something like that or another licensed IP lead on Wii.

ff 13 attach rate in japan is almost 50%,,,that's really impressive

it's actually about 40% as PS3 was almost at 4.5 mil last week.



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.

didnt orochi musou already shift to the PS3, or am i confusing 2 names?

 

But yeah i think SW is just more mainstream than Tales, and thats what works well with the wii. Taiko and Monotarou are 2 titles doing well because of that. Thats exactly why i think DQ and MH fits the Wii so perfectly, especially DQ( a spinoff did half a million there). I hope both these series stay as Wii exclusives.
