It's the last entry for Professor Layton and it's not even going to leave an impact :(

You mean that they're leaving this franchise for forever? It's sad, but it needed to happen.

This is the last game that Hershel Layton will star as the main character. The series will still continue, probably under a different name. There's no way L5 abandons this franchise; even in decline, it still makes money.

So with Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance at 315 points for the regular PS3 edition and 49 points for the LE edition... what are we talking about in terms of a launch? 200,000 to 300,000? 300,000 to 400,000?

I'd say around 200k, though it could be a bit higher.

Wait, so what exactly is the point conversion?

1 point = 400 preorders?

1 point = 600 preorders?

1 point = 1,000 preorders?

They can't be stopped...

The game is promoted very bad... DS releases from Pandora's Box always got LOADS of TV Ads, 3DS's Miracle Mask promoted heavily too. Layton x Phoenix Write received just 3 15 sec. videos for TV.. And Azran Legacies... Well... 9 days before launch and just ONE 15 sec. TV CM (( It's just nothing. Every wednesday there's Minna no NC updates, publishers releasing new videos... I hoped that today L5 debuts new PV and CMs, but... They just released old trailer and no commercials. Disaster(( Maybe with understanding that japanese Layton sales figures of DS era now forever gone, they simply decided not spent too much money on promo cuz sales records as before not going to happen again.

But I still hope it can open at 100K and reach 250-300K lifetime in Japan.

Lower than the 3DS launch title? That would be bomba level bad.

1 point = 600 preorders?

1 point = 1,000 preorders?

Noone knows really, it's just a rough guide as to how the game is doing. 1 point is one preorder for one shop in Japan, that's it really.

However, I'd say 1 point is around 600 for Sony games and closer to 1,000 for Nintendo games. Very roughly

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.
