I'm now thinking 250k week 1 for Tales of Graces and 400k LT sales.

One big difference between ToV and ToG was ToV was released before FF13 hit and ToG is releasing after FF13 hit.  FF13 probably got the full jRPG fanbase established on the console.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

GT5 launching at 600-700k would be fantastic really! But i dont know about that really. If it boosts alot  this week then maybe, but it doesnt look that great at the moment. Really Sony just announcing the release date 2 weeks before wasnt a good idea...

And do i really have to nag about DKCR anymore? ... Yes.. Yes i should!! :(

I've given up expecting now


I have no idea why the source expects a 250k-350k opening. No real basis on that :/ it will perform better than kirby though, im pretty sure nintendo will market it by reminding the public of DKC. But does DK still hold a place in the japanese hearts?

That doesn't matter. There wasn't a proper Mario game in 18 years and when NSMB DS was released, people still bought it as it was oen of the old Mario games.

Although it will do well, that is way to black and white.  Old Mario was legendary, it's remembered as commonly as Pac Man.   It never really left, that's how omnipresent it was.  With DK, I don't think it's the same.  But it'll still do well.

Any figures on how much GT5 bundles were produced ? It has 220,000 pre - orders so far. It should have atleast 250,000 by launch. With a minimum of 100,000 bundles produced, I think Japan opening week should be
around 500,000. If their is around 200,000 bundles produced, I think anywhere between 600,000 - 700,000 is possible.



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

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

Tales Of Vesperia (PS3) ended at 483pt

Comparison:

Tales Of Graces (Wii) At 18 Days from end of pre-order tracking -- 241pt (It had an increase of 11pt from the day before)

Tales Of Graces F (PS3) At 18 Days from end of pre-order tracking -- 336pt (It had an increase of 9pt from the day before)

Tales Of Vesperia (PS3) At 18 Days from end of pre-order tracking -- 329pt (It had an increase of 13pt from the day before)

The PS3 version continues to stay ahead! At this rate it should pass the Wii versions "total" points before launch within a week.

TOG (PS3) is also ahead of Tales Of Vesperia in a similar timeframe....but TOV (PS3) is catching up!

PS3's performance has been fantastic, it seems the Tales fan base in Japan resides on the PS3!

Oh come on it's not like SM64 didnt sell around 2 million, and each of sunshine and SMG didnt do around a million... Mario remained pretty big in japan over the years. Even mario kart, SSB, mario party, and all mario games kept consistently selling, and this proved that mario wasn't dead. 2D took mario to another level, but on which level is DK in japan right now??

Agreed.  Donkey Konga was probably the biggest success for DK post-N64, and it mainly sold because it was a Taiko ripoff.  Jungle Beat kinda bombed comparably (on both GC and Wii), I still don't think DKCR is going to be as big in Japan as some are expecting.   Under 200k first week, probably a lifetime of around 400-500k... which is better than Kirby (which wasn't a REAL Kirby).

Well it may do better than that imo, but people should realize that the DK renaissance era was 15 years ago. DKC will have to pull something special to regain that. I would be devastated if DK didnt do a million in japan honestly
