Neat! Level-5 redeemed? |
Man this thread have some ridiculously low Vita prediction numbers, I lol@you people and your lack of faith!
|
It's just that Level 5 + Nintendo hardware = good profit, and Level 5 + Nintendo hardware + Holiday = very good profit.
...But LBX Boost isn't doing bad absolutely. |
Isnt there an IE Go theater release next week ? So sales should will benefit from it too.

[QUOTE=Mpl90;33511670]Get6-2 has shared his impressions on yesterday
Looking at it with Google Translator, I can only understand that FFXIII-2 is considered bad and unexpected, while Inazuma Eleven Go sold more than the expected (with growth in weekend that will follow according to him) on the first day, and the shipment shouldn't be so low with Holidays incoming? Since this is coming from Google Translator, I'm asking to you to translate, Japan GAF! FFXIII-2 昨日発売の「PS3&360：FF13-2」は、 個人的には期待していなかった分悪くないスタートという印象。 しかし世間的にはメーカー提示数をそのまま発注していた問屋が、 発売前から掛安案内をしている事から不調という事なのかも。 スクエニのタイトルはコンビニ枠や量販シェアが高く、 販売数予測はとても難しいためパス。 当然の事ではありますが「13」超えはないでしょう。[/QUOTE] Translation: Maybe it's because I didn't expect much from it personally, but my impression is that FF13-2 which launched on PS3/360 yesterday didn't do too badly. But stores who simply ordered the numbers advised by Squenix have started to discount the game from before its release so that could mean it's not well received by people. Squenix titles tend to get most of their sales from convenience stores and big outlets so it's very hard to judge its sales outlook. It's safe to say that it won't do more than 13 though. |

Inazuma Eleven Go Sorry, didn't care enough about Inazuma to translate it at first. But since you asked: Quote: 2番手には発売前にバタバタしていた「3DS：イナズマイレブンGO」。 週末以降からの伸びに期待したいタイトルでしたが、 発売初日から予想以上に売れているようです。 ただ、出荷数がそこそこなので、 品薄感は今のところありません。 人気コンテンツですしクリスマス～正月まで品揃えしたいタイトルです。 その他のタイトルは忙しくて細かくみれませんでした。 My second arm has been flailing* for this from since before its release: 3DS Inazuma Eleven GO. I was expecting it to increase sales on the week end but it seems to sell beyond expectations from day one. But since shipment numbers are meeting demand it doesn't feel like it'll be going out of stock. It's popular of course and stores will want to be stocked up with this title through christmas and new year. I was too busy to look at other titles closely. *This must be an ideom I'm missing the exact meaning of but it does paint a picture, I guess he was excited. |

Good to see IE:Go is doing well, people expected Mario Kart and Mario Land to cannibalize its sale really badly. Still, I wonder how much it'll do compared to previous entries... It will be hard to judge in the coming weeks as IE games have pretty good legs.

I don't know if it's a coincidence but since Zelda: SS came out the legs of Zelda: OoT 3D have been killed.
It was almost at 500k and now I doubt it can reach 600k. |

It's been surpassed by other titles like Rumble Blast and it's not benefiting from Christmas sales and the new 3DS user base either. I doubt it's making more than 4000 sales from that position and we'll see if it remains in the top50 when the Christmas period is over.

I was going to suggest this too, but it's still definitely a drop--the barrier to Top 30 hasn't increased that much. OOT's later weeks it was going like 10K 12K 12K 10K 9K 9K 9K 7K 7K (SM3DL releases) 5K (under 4.7K) (under 7.5K) (under 6.3K) Still I think considering how leggy it's been so far, it won't fall completely away and fail to reach 600K. How long it will take, who knows. [QUOTE=Magicpaint;33515276]Hahaha what is Mario kart DS doing in the Top 50.[/QUOTE] It's feeling nostalgic for the 2005 DS explosion. |
[QUOTE=Magicpaint;33515276]Hahaha what is Mario kart DS doing in the Top 50.[/QUOTE]
In my opinion games with extremely long legs such as Mario kart(both Wii and DS versions), Super mario bros 2D(Wii and DS versions as well), Wii sports, Wii fit and so on are supposed to benefit of some huge boosts this time of the year around, maybe because they're suitable for long multiplayer sessions with parents and relatives during holidays or because Mario games are perhaps supposed to be suitable Christmas presents for children, no surprise that Mario kart Wii and NSMB Wii are up again on the PAL charts as well these days. |

Currently, Inazuma Eleven is THE franchise for the yaoi fanbase. For some stupid reason, fujoshi decided that the underaged characters of Inazuma Eleven make GREAT yaoi fantasies. It is because of the fujoshi that the new cast consists of a piano playing pansy as a captain and a pink-haired boy that completely looks like a girl. At this point, the only reason that Endou, the main character of the series is still on the top of popularity polls is because the kids are preventing the fujoshi fan favorites from getting up there. In other words, the fujoshi are the highly vocal minority fanbase of Inazuma Eleven. [QUOTE=udivision;33522216]What's a fujoshi?

Mix of reports about Vita's launch from Andriasang
[QUOTE]PlayStation Vita saw its Japanese launch today, and despite the mid December cold and wide availability of pre-orders, the system still managed to draw lines in the hundreds at many retailers. Based off Famitsu.com's launch report, the longest lines were to be found at the line mecca itself, Akihabara. The Yodobashi Camera in Tokyo's electronics capital had around 200 people by about 6:00AM, but as train service started, this swelled to 500 or 600 by the time the shop opened for sales at 8:00. Famitsu.com spoke to many of the early risers. The person at the front of the line had arrived at 21:00 the night before. He'd already pre-ordered, but lined up because he was concerned about memory card shortages. He picked up the system with Uncharted. The lines weren't as impressive at other locations around Tokyo, but still crossed the hundred mark. The large Yodobashi Camera in Shinjuku had 120 people lined up by the 8:00 opening time. The first person in line had arrived at 22:00 the night before and planned on picking up Dynasty Warriors Next, Hot Shots Golf 6 and Ridge Racer. The person behind him had arrived at midnight and said that he wanted to play up Disgaea 3 Return. Yodobash Camera in Shinjuku The Bic Camera in Ikebukuro had 300 people lined up by opening time. This shop told Famitsu that, based off pre-orders alone, top sellers for the launch appeared to be Hot Shots Golf 6, Uncharted and Shin Kamaitachi no Yoru. There were a few special guests at the launches. Sony VP Kaz Hirai, Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House and Sony Computer Entertainment Japan CEO Hiroshi Kawano showed up at the Akihabara Yodobashi for the start of sales. House and Hirai had also made an appearance at the Bic Camera in Yurakucho, which drew a line of around 120 or so by its opening time at 8:00. But the main appearance for the execs was the system's official launch countdown at the Tsutaya outlet in Shibuya. Held at 6:45, before the shop opened for sales at 7:00, Hirai and House took the stage and gave brief speeches before introducing a countdown reel highlighting the system's launch titles and its path from announcement to launch.[/QUOTE] [url]http://andriasang.com/comzef/vita_launch_report/[/url] |
IMO, launch lines have really lost their impact. Sometimes they make it obvious how big something will be, such as MHP3's extraordinary launch, or can be misleading. In 2009, Biohazard 5 had a launch report, but this year, FFXIII-2 didn't, yet the chances of FFXIII-2 having a higher start are much better. Big games like MK7 didn't have any reports either, yet sales were very high.
The Vita launch is interesting though: tons of pre-orders, yet ample stock for others. This indicates that early demand should be satisfied, but also that it could possibly, though not certainly, signal a slowdown sooner than expected. We'll see. |

What's the deal with MGS3D on Amazon? It started preorders staying in the 230th position for a while, then a sudden rise to the top100, and now it's in 56th position. Why this strange pattern? Maybe due to the lack of a release date? I've seen such a strange pattern also for If you were sealed with a girl in a room, you'd play Dream C Club on Vita to make the Pink Milf eat the banana: sudden rise in top100, then slowdown, then another rise again, almost in top30. Strangely, the one which had an immediate rise to the top even without the release date has been...Senran Kagura (it has to do with the audience :P )
When preorders are opened with also the release date indicated, titles go up a lot, even in the first position (One Piece the recent example, but also Hatsune Miku 3DS... every major title). We'll see what happens with MGS3D. ...At least, Beyond the Labyirinth should do well, Konami! P.S. Anihawk is always Anihawk. |

IIRC, that time it happened that most of the units were already sold through preorders. I don't know: lines for certain games, which rely more on a costant flood of people buying especially without preorders, are absent, or not so big. Especially if the shipment is big enough (Mario Kart 7 haven't had any report of lines, while Wii Fit had it ). Instead, more "core" games, which have big preorder numbers, even with big first shipment, especially if belonging to very big brands can have lines due to the fact that the audience want to buy it as soon as possible (MHP3rd, the greatest recent example ). And this concept should apply to console launches as well. Lines certainly cannot be ignored in every case, as well as cannot be seen as the revelator of the future in every case: just an examination case to case could be useful. But who would do a thing like that :P |

[QUOTE=hsukardi;33534990]Why not? That's a rubbish theory.[/QUOTE]
Well, you sure told me. It's my read of the handheld device landscape in 2011 and beyond. Diminishing returns for handheld console makers (outside Japan) on much more aggressive investments (i.e., they're putting in more $$ and getting out less). Nintendo has gone all-in with 3DS, pricing it the same as the current price of its predecessor (unprecedented) and with a lineup of back-to-back bankable heavy hitters that's certainly the best ever for a year-1 handheld, and its sales in the US and Europe are merely pretty good. Not great, pretty good. 3DS sold less than the third-place home console in the last NPD, despite aggressive marketing and promotions. If this sounds like a climate that will happily embrace a second dedicated handheld to you, then, well good luck with that. |
So any early report about how the Vita is doing? I saw the lines in some Famitsu screens so it should be doing good?

Plus it followed with Brain Age, New Super Mario Bros., and DS Lite. What makes 3DS seem that much more of a push outside of the price drop? |

It's $20 more than what it's predecessor launched at, which is far from unprecedented. The only reason the DSi and DSi XL are still so high is to avoid stealing sales from 3DS. It's not setting the world on fire, but it only had one must-have game in the US in that NPD. Software decides everything in this business, and one game can only do so much. I would at least wait for the December NPD before making any final conclusions. Hell, even that might not work, since for all we know, there may be a lot of people waiting for Vita.

@Joshua: ...And now I remember what was different in the DS launch compared to the others: it had the classic 4 days period to sell in the first week. This is why, despite not having massive legs at the launch day, it did very well.
@Bishop and Orgen: Nintendogs is recovering indeed. This week was just shy of the top 20, so it probably did 12-13k. In regard to Zelda, I don't agree with Joshua when he says that in the positions lower than 30th, numbers are almost the same: I think they're rising, so seeing Zelda still in top50 despite numbers increasing and lots of new releases is not bad. It's obvious that games can sell a lot outside of the top 50, however. |
