Is anyone even aware that COMG doesn't track preorders for the bundle? Just tack on another 125k-175k to whatever you think GT5 is going to do first week.


i dont think Sony will produce anything over 50k GT5 bundles for Japan Only... so how do u think we need to add another 125k for GT5 for FW?


Well considering that there were 200k GT5P and Lightning bundles I would consider 125k to actually be kind of conservative.



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

I meant released this year, doesn't matter if they cross 1 million or not.

Bets with Conegamer:

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.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Finally Kirby... it will gather some points from now on, it has 11 days left.

Super Mario Collection will be big, I thought that it was a limited quantity item, but it looks like it's a limited time offer, with no production limits. It will sell whatever people buy, or whatever Nintendo ships.

This could be the biggest year for the Wii in terms of million sellers in Japan.

2006: Wii Play and Wii Sports
2007: Super Mario Galaxy, Wii Fit and Mario Party 8
2008: Smash Bros Brawl, Mario Kart Wii and Animal Crossing: City Folk
2009: Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit Plus, New Super Mario Bros Wii and Monster Hunter Tri
2010: Wii Party, ????

Probable million sellers launched in 2010: Super Mario Galaxy 2, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Super Mario Collection, Mario Sports Mix and Donkey Kong Country Returns (this one depends on if its launched this year or not). FlingSmash I'd say no, because I don't see it as avery appealing item to the Japanese, even if bundled with the Wii Mote Plus.
What do you guys think?

If all those games make it to 1 million, it would be the year with the most million sellers launched with 6 games in total, and double the best year from Nintendo's first party games because they have been releasing 3 million sellers per year since 2007 (2006 didn't have enough time).

It looks like Nintendo is on their own now in Japan, so they will be releasing most of their remaining big guns without caring for the third party turds.


Iwata did say he Nintendo will ship more copies because of the fan determination.  The last story, rythm heaven, DQX are the 3rd party titles that will sell really well but wont be coming out this year.

Rhythm Heaven and The Last Story are 1st party. I can see Rhythm Heaven with a slight chance of hitting 1 million, but I wouldn't count on it. The Last Story won't hit a million either. Zelda: SS won't either and neither will Fatal Frame 2 Remake.

So Nintendo hasn't got any huge games coming out in Japan next year so far. I can't see Pikmin 3 hitting 1 million either, but I can see Wii Relax doing it, unless it flops like Wii Music (Hypothetical case where both come out next year). Next year is really Nintendo's last push for the Wii, but as you can see this year will be the last big push for the console.

I meant released this year, doesn't matter if they cross 1 million or not.

But still, legs in Japan are nearly nonexistent except for some franchises.

I actually don't think they will ever sell more than a million in Japan.

I could be wrong though. I hope I'm wrong especially for DK. I want more DK.

At last the pink blob , or in this case the pink thread has charted, about time.  Super mario collection continues to rake the pre-orders.  Now I feel good and good for kopstudent.

He isn't blob anymore, he's just a bunch of yarn now. Epic yarn.

I did say pink thread afterwards.

Always judge the post by the first phrase, haven't you learned that?

Nonsense, when I wrote the first phrase I then suddenly thought, ahh using the term pink blob will be a false statment so I then I put the 2nd phrase in which is more relaible, plus the 1st phrase makes the post more alive should I say.  Like I'm proving to you that I'm noticing my mistake and correcting it.

Your naive logic is futile against mine.



Above: still the best game of the year.

OK then, yeah I'm assuming those get to sell 1 million eventually. Not a given ever, but they do have big possibilities considering franchise history.
