Nope. Nobody is allowed to be happy about this. Not even bitter MML fans!

Scheduled for December 20, it seems

walking fiend · Nov 28, 2012

it's be funny if AC stays at the first spot next week as well; and I guess if it stays on top the next week, it will stay on top till after the holidays; will be funny to see

Last week's numbers account for two new colours. It was always going to drop this week.

Ok, thanks. I'm expecting it to make numbers similar to AC3 Liberation and was surprised about not seeing it at all.

The first pair had about 250k combined, the second about 150k combined.

So, yes, it's the series' lowest debut, but it'll have nice legs over the holidays. Maybe not a million seller as might have been hoped, but certainly not a bomba.

Ah, thanks.

I will never understand how the market works in JP.

The same way any market works. If you release something that appeals to no one, or your marketing sucks, or people have no confidence or no interest in the sort of interactive experience you're offering, it won't sell.

The heat map on multiplayer shows a fairly healthy Japanese community, so it may end up having some good legs.

Wasn't there some article recently bemoaning the FPS genre in Japan?

Is there even any truth to E.X. Troopers being built on MML3's corpse? Not that it would have sold any better, if the PSP numbers for the ports of the first two games are anything to go by.

Your numbers indicate otherwise. Not a huge diff anyway though, considering trackers aren't 100% accurate anyway.

You're reading it right, but context is needed. Rescue Team Red/Blue are the same game. They're just separated because of the platforms.

It might sell better than this, sure, since the US is a bigger market than Japan. But would it sell enough to justify Capcom spending their time and resources on localizing and marketing the game? Maybe not. Selling more than 25k, isn't a benchmark a big publisher aims for. Lol.

Was it marketed differently? Why is there only one edition?

Exterminieren · Nov 28, 2012

Whoops, I checked the wrong week in the archives for the Darkness/Time figures.

The new Mystery Dungeon has underperformed more than I thought it did, then. :/

CronoShot · Nov 28, 2012

E.X. Troopers bombed hard. Mystery Dungeon didn't seem to do so hot either.

And will the 3DS pass the PS3 by the end of the year? Seems pretty likely.

It's a sign for Pokemon Company to not use 3D models in the next mainline Pokemon game, lol. Mystery Dungeon 3DS is the first one in the series to ditch the sprites.

Sure, but I doubt EX Troopers is a heavy text game.
So even if they release it english only in Europe and USA, it might still bring more money.
Maybe not enough for Capcom's tastes.

It's a voice heavy game. That's already more expensive than text!

Ahahahahahaha, no.

One factor might be that Darkness and Time released in a year with no main Pokemon titles, whereas BW2 came out a few months ago.

Except its just 20k behind the last title which used sprites at the DS's high point.
EDIT: nm seems that Sky is more just a longer version of the previous game.

No, it isn't; it got about half the first week sales of the previous lowest selling pair. Sky doesn't really count.

I looked at the wrong sales thread. :/
