I'd be really surprised if the 3ds version ends up reaching this number. Would be an amazing sign that Nintendo hasn't lost its casual market if it did happen.

The Superstar class gains a whole new meaning.
At least Biohazard 6 PS3 version is playable...

Different markets, US is way more price sensitive than Japan. Also Japan still gets the more expensive to produce original Wii model.

He he, we wont :-D
I'm kidding
I find it surprising that sales patterns are so evidently close to past entries for both sequels. Has there ever been some kind of "Project X" earlier in the japanese vg history? I don't know, something along the likes of Jump Super Stars.
Project X is pretty much Namco vs Capcom 2 in all but name, even the original characters reated for NvC are in PXZ too.

I'm half expecting Hino to pull another LBXW and roll out a Wii U version of IE Strikers Go for the holiday. Nintendo seems to like 3rd party SD port ups anyway (MH3G, DQX).

Out of respect for Sony's wishes, I'm biting my tongue until December 26th.

The Japanese public likes Japanese games, frankly.
Vita's already had its first Christmas in Japan. Despair away.
I own Dishonored and RE6 on PS3. How is Dishonored unplayable? No sliding into cover?

Ripping it out would probably be the end result.
Thanks. That's a pretty high bar to jump and I doubt it will reach those numbers.

Sony's holiday sales are going to make things even worse.
You don't have to. Vita already have its first Christmas last year in Japan..
Do you have a JP version? It hangs up every ten minutes. Beth's magic for PS3 still continues in Japan lol

I think Bravely Default will be localized, but I'm not so confident about Project X Zone. I want both so badly.
Interesting. How did Radiata Stories end up doing?

Considering NxC's track record I'm worried too.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Id rather just see the whole company go under. Since the last thing we need is for them to go and waste another license like what they did with Black Rock Shooter. Not to mention the horrid redesign that happened to 7th Dragon.

Same could be said about some japanese games that fail in te west. It's just different cultures.

The PS Mortis died already. It just hasn't shut down completely yet.
To think that we have confirmation of Tokitowa's English release but not Bravely Default is kinda absurd.
I thought both were quite good? And what happened with 7th Dragon 2020 (IIRC)?

How does BD:FF stack up as a new IP debut?
to be fair you must not judge the LL before its first xmas man.

excellent start for BD. Nex week will probably see a huge drop but I think it'll end up at 400k in Japan
Vita reminds me of this
I was thinking maybe that's a bit unrealistic but perhaps not depends how much shortages effected it

How does Project X Zone's first week sales compare to NxC, Frontier, and Frontier Exceed?

Animal Crossing should destroy this holiday. Might get away with highest software LTD on the 3DS until Monster Hunter 4 comes.
I know Amazon sold out and some of the large big city shops but I can still get it at every shop in my city that I was in this week. I'd say if anything, it's "mildly supply constrained in certain areas" This is nothing like Final Fantasy III or Joker.

I could easily see AC over 2 million by the end of the year
It isn't looking good for the Vita. I'm still gonna put on my happy face of denial and hope those funky Japanese niche titles still make it to production.
Solid 3DS numbers.

I still have some doubts about it. Seeing it performing so well would be a signal, imho, compared to 3DS software sales compared to DS ones.

Well the 360 version of Dishonored is an Amazon JP exclusive and whatever stock they had of it sold out as the next shipment isn't due until Nov. 2nd.
I saw a commercial for it when I was watching an NFL game (via nfl game pass) and I thought it looked interesting. I may pick up the 360 version myself from Amazon JP when they get more in stock.
