This has nothing to do with the Wii U game launch, it's just a regular meeting they hold for DQX players. They had about 3k attendants.

I know where you got the photos, http://jin115.com/archives/51939816.html

I read this site quite a bit!

@BaldrSkies Read again what I wrote. Second part, please.

"Dragon Quest X Wii U Official Launch x Square Enix DQX Spring Festival"

Official launch happend at the festival. And if you can't read japanese, please read what SE website saying (with google translate):

"Will be held the first fan event to celebrate the launch of the "tribe of five online awaken Ki Dragon Quest X" version of Wii U, to everyone who enjoy adventure Astorga tear! "

So, I have not written anything wrong.

Summon Night 5 is going to be huge.

How huge? lol Like 200K lifetime? It's some big numbers (in line with previous mainline games), but not "huge".

Shining Arc was big at COMG chart before release, but first week sales were "meh".

***

"Dragon Quest will leave the chart with the same amount of points it entered it, lol."

Looks like it, maybe +1 or so. But it's highest charted new Wii U game on Amazon Japan since console release -- now at #7. 42,000 yen hardware bundle also rising and Wii U Premium Edition first time in months returned to top 30. That's not bad news for the system.

@

Luigi's Mansion selling ot in some stores again (2nd week info)

Also, retailers slashed Metal Gear Rising price (first shipment still unsold...)

Summon Night is a popular series in Japan and it's a very anticipated sequel after many years on hiatus. A lot of people didn't even expect a 5th game after Flight-Plan shut down due to poor sales on DS. Now Bandai Namco is putting a lot of resources behind the new game, even getting ufotable to do the animation. There's already TV advertisements and promotions from the beginning of this month.

I understand it, but I can't see its selling more than 200K or so. We'll see.

[PS1] Summon Night 2 (Banpresto) - 76,328 / 139,755
[PS1] Summon Night (Banpresto) - 18,426 / 58,743
[PS1] Summon Night [PSOne Books] (Banpresto) - 3,430 / 49,988

[PS2] Summon Night 3 (Banpresto) - 152,285 / 230,299
[PS2] Summon Night 4 (Banpresto) - 116,761 / 182,669

"poor sales on DS"

DS got 2 remakes (of 1 and 2) and 2 spin-offs (action RPG and turn based RPG). They both sold like 50K. And remakes @

[NDS] Summon Night (Banpresto) - 43,842 / 69,076
[NDS] Summon Night 2 (Banpresto) - 28,188 / 51,568

PSP got remakes of 3 and 4 (originally more popular games that 1 and 2)

Summon Night 3 debuted on PSP with 50K last october and quickly dropped, Summon Night 3 started with 40K.

Not a big difference between DS and PSP here.


Where are you getting your numbers from? And you're giving an incomplete list.

Anyway I explained the circumstances around the game, and now we have a brand new game on a portable console with an extremely large install base. We all know how well portables do in Japan. We've seen how past numbers are meaningless for some Nintendo franchises lately too.

All numbers are from Neogaf Media Create sales thread and garaph.info.

I doubt SN5 going to sell more than 200K lifetime. That's just my prediction. Can I ask you what is your prediction? How "huge" (that's your word in relation to SN5) this game gonna be?

Why would you include the first part if you just want to look at the second part? By combining the items (official launch x festival) you make it sound like this event is a combination, and has something to do with launch lines. Just because they placed the convention on the same day as the Wii U launch doesn't make it significant, they've had DQX conventions before. I'm just clearing up any misconceptions you may have with your ambiguous post.

And yes I have seen the official convention website and I can assure you the "launch" did not happen at the event at 11 am. It happened earlier, nation wide when shops opened their doors.

If your intention was to solely post pictures of a convention it certainly does not belong in a sales thread now does it?
