Are people expecting it to do NSMB sales?  Or Kirby sales?  It'll do better than Kirby right?  I thought DK would be good for a mil in japan, no?

I'd say "Mario Galaxy" sales.  Kirby flopped because it really wasn't "Kirby".

Kirby hasn't flopped, the series is known for legs in Japan I think, give it time.

I think 300k's the limit at this point.  It's Canvas Curse all over again. :/

Canvas curse was a very good game.

Did you not like Epic Yarn or something?

Oh, personally I really like EY.  And I LOVED CC.  But let's be honest, neither game is really all that much "Kirby" deep down, they're just too different.

I think HAL's GC-to-Wii Kirby would've been a much bigger seller in Japan.

Maybe it would have....but I think Nintendo is really trying to use Kirby as the series they try to "innovate/take risks" with while they let Mario (Donkey Kong now)  be more of the same with major refinements (not to say thats bad because DKCR looks amazing)

Looking to the high number for the last 2 MH(MHP2 and MHP2G)  it seems the serie is very preorder heavy, both of them had over 2.5k points but their release was under a million

Yeah.  Obviously no sane person at this point is thinking it can beat Pokemon's first week, but I don't think a 2 million plus opening is impossible.  I mean, this thing might end at 5,000 or more points, who knows?


So are you saying I am insane? I am kinda offended with that seriously and I already have a bet with it.

Capcom is already planning to ship 3.6 million there and I think that will be there initial shipment for the game.

initial shipment of 3.6 million? ok you are crazy :)



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.

Yeah, Lol! Monster hunter 2g is already at 4 million and counting so Capcom might shipped MH3p 3.6 M copies is cool.

I said at this point.  Right now, going by historical MH numbers on COMG, it's not even close if the ratio of preorders to actual sales remains the same.  This game's preorders are a much bigger percentage of sales than Pokemons.  This is all dependent on increased popularity, which is kind of hard to know until the game releases.  Maybe if the points pass 5,000 by a bit I'll feel better...

Well at this point I am still gonna say it. Anyways I am just on a very bad mood when I read that so everything is cool now.

TALES OF GRACES (Wii) VS TALES OF GRACES (PS3)

A comparison we will be doing between Tales Of Graces (Wii0 And Tales Of Graces (PS3) right up to the launch.

Note: Tales Of Graces (Wii) ended at 357pt

Comparison:

Tales Of Graces (Wii) At 25 Days from end of pre-order tracking -- 193pt (It had an increase of 2pt from the day before)

Tales Of Graces F (PS3) At 25 Days from end of pre-order tracking -- 270pt (It had an increase of 8pt from the day before)

The PS3 version is doing so much better, its not even funny.....and despite being higher its even showing a higher per day points increase.

No worries, if I ever seem to come off as offensive it's usually because I'm being sarcastic anyway lol.  I just like to be conservative with my predictions so there's a better chance I'm not disappointed lol.  To be fair, beating the record is within the realm of possibility, especially with these ridiculous preorders.  Hope you win!  :)
