It is fun to watch the PS3 and Wii go back and forth.  Is it simply the effect of being the market leader that PS3 seems to get more games yet Wii can maintain the lead, if barely?  Is this simply the Mario effect, sustaining them for months?  DQX can probably sustain the console for many more months, so I think the Wii is fine.


I think you're wrong here. Mario sustains for months, but DQ is a much much more front loaded franchise. It will boost sales for what 2-3 weeks, maybe a month, but nintendo franchises have that umph factor that can sustain sales for months. DQ will be important for the wii nontheless, and it may drive some future franchises towards the nintendo console. I guess we'll have to wait and see till then

Yeah, that's true. I guess I'm just trying to bring a little optimism to all these sad faces around here lol.  And for Nintendo franchises having that umph, isn't it mostly just Mario games or the Wii series?  Does Zelda even give that huge of a super extended boost? 

Also for DQX encouraging other devs, I'm pessimistic there.  I mean, any intelligent Developer would have already known that DQX is coming out, so its release was already in there mind.  And regardless of if they are "successes" or not, all these more "serious" games or whatever you want to call them almost never being able to push past 300,000 has to be a little off-putting.

Well regarding the nintendo franchises that have that umph, we're talking abt 4-5 games that have given the wii sustainability over the past few years (Wii sports, Wii play, Mario kart, Wii fit, NSMB). So regardless, that is still something big, even if they are just 2 series we're talkin abt.

And secondly, i guess many devs may wait till after DQX becase they don't believe that the audience is there yet. DQX may attract alot of new gamers, meaning it would be wiser to wait till then. Now of course this is just theory, and i may be very wrong, but hey it's nice to be optimistic every once in a while ;)

Since lightning is in this one I hope so



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

The most impressive on the charts right now is DQ. Just how big can this game be!! Also Inazuma already at 150 points. When is its release date?

Xeno does alright, but considering it is releasing in 4 days,this is still not up to par. But it does look likely of doing 40-50k FW which is decent



MHP3 is doing some insane numbers... could it be the biggest game of the year in Japan with a Q4 launch? It has a shot



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

No,it will be Pokemon.

But MHP3rd will be second,that's for sure. :P



I think Monster Hunter Portable 3 has a chance to outsell Dragon Quest IX and become the best-selling third-party game in Japan.
