"Lost Planet 2" (for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360), one of our featured products, underperformed its projection substantially; "Monster Hunter Tri" (for Wii) grew at sluggish pace; newly-released "Ghost Trick" (for Nintendo DS) struggled."  This is right from this source.  Not really in this argument but I thought this would elucidate things.

Of course, it didn't sell out of its initial shipment, so it is indeed a flop, but wait, MH3 didn't sell out of it's initial shipment either, and yet it's performing fantastically!!!!!!!!

For the record the PSP Go is a flop and MH3 has underperformed, however before I continue this debate with you I must ask you 2 simple yes or no questions:

1) Did Tales of Graces underperform on the Wii? Yes or No?

2) Did Samurai Warriors 3 underperform on the Wii? Yes or No?

Oh, Go's not a flop because it didn't sell out it's first shipment, it's a flop because it's a revision of a system 15m strong and only did 125k in almost a year.  It's probably the biggest hardware flop this generation, bigger than even Xbox 360.

And for the record, again please show us MH3 underperformed.  Just repeating it alone doesn't make it reality, no matter how hard you'd seemingly like to make it so.

Graces and SM3 both definitely underperformed.  Koei expected 700k for SM3... but then they also expected 1m for Gundam Musou (PS3 only btw), 1m for SSM5 (no breakdown given) and 1m for Hokuto Musou (800k PS3, 200k 360)... basically every console Musou game has underperformed this gen from that we know of.

Graces is especially bizarre though, as it actually slightly undersold the cheapo Symphonia spinoff on Wii.  Then again, Tales also underperformed on DS every time, so it's not really saying much that Graces only did about as well as those games (roughly 200-250k).  The Tales fanbase just isn't on DS/Wii.

Not really, since that's in regard to western sales.  The JP version released almost a year earlier.

So according to the JP retailer blogs, it seems MHP3 will have a first shipment of 1m and Mario Collection will have a first shipment of 300k.  Both are expected to be near sellouts.

I dont intend to post here much, if at all. But you really got to love the double standards of some posters here. Really amusing how far they try go to attempt to make something look bad despite the exact same things happening to whatever theyre defending... Such bias

OT

Looks like Kirby could open up pretty well. Hopefully it does a lot better than Metroid did. Looks like it could appeal to the Wiis expanded audience

Did you actually think Kirby would do worse than Metroid? Kirby is freaking popular in Japan while Metroid is niche.



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.

It's incredible how much this thread was derailed just because some people find it impossible to accept that Dragon Quest X is a Wii game.

Another great increase for Kirby.
