Wait. So Namco expects ToS: Dawn of the New World to sell under 400k?

 

[jarrod]

That's roght, I got it mixed up sorry.

I found out that 5 sold over a million in NA alone, but there are no sales records for Zero, no that I know of.

Still 700k is really nice.

AC0 shipped 440k it's first year, so AC6 is definitely performing better so far. Not sure about ACX, but I'd guess it shipped even less honestly, the game basically tanked everywhere.

700k also makes AC6 Namco's best selling nextgen game so far, right?

Is it really a shock? It makes sense that they would expect a spinoff to sell less than a mainline game.

Yeah I find that extremely hard to believe..maybe since it's coming out so soon in Japan they didn't include it?

Well between Japan and N.A I would absolutely be shocked given the Symphonia name in N.A

So, what exactly happened to this abortion of a thread? Vesperia isn't on PS3 yet or what?

Eternal Sonata situation: part II.

Eternal Sonata situation: part II.

Ohhh...announce additional shit for it then never release it anywhere? Gotcha.

 

[FateBreaker]

:lol


Wow, I wonder how much MS has paid Namco for these exclusivity windows this gen.

oh man you're so fucking funny!! Because , like, that's the only solution, of course. They had to pay them.

No, in fact they didn't have to pay them a dime. However, with AC6, ES and Vesperia there have all been at the very least it would seem a timed window to them. Why do you think they changed this info? Why do you think they made the ESRB change the info on their site for ES? Maybe it is just a strategy they are taking this gen and maybe MS paid them nothing, but it doesn't seem all that unlikely either because MS has paid for 3rd party timed windows at least a few times this gen as well. No, it certainly isn't the only solution.

 

[jarrod]

I doubt Microsoft "paid" anything, this isn't GTA4 DLC... I expect some nice royalty cuts probably, but Microsoft likely didn't need to go out of their way to secure the windows.

In Katamari's case, NOW even said it was because they couldn't handle mutiformat R&D and still make their target date... things just got rolling on 360 earlier, simple as that.

Are those lifetime figures then? Have AC4 by chance?

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Yeah, counting budget releases and all. Its like the Tales hits 10m, just with Ace Combat.

Ace Combat 04 - 2,640,000

Awesome... man, AC4 was a beast!

AC6 seems to be doing pretty okay for itself... will probably clear 1m lifetime (much more if it gets a PS3 port). I sort of wonder how Sky Crawlers will do...

Holy shit. Are those figures real?

Heh.

 

[evilone]

I still don't understand why there isn't a PS3 port yet. This is the best way to kill off your million plus fan base. I would be happy even if they made a PS2 version.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Heh.

Damn, you beat me.

Also, where. the. fuck. is. tekken. 6. PS3.

 

[Yoshichan]

2009.

 

[Stop It]

Well, actually on some sort of topic, one thing (aside from PS3 lulz) that seems to be confirmed is no Vesperia for EU, at least this year, I FUCKING HATE YOU NAMCO!

 

[LowParry]

Damn, you beat me.

Also, where. the. fuck. is. tekken. 6. PS3.

I'm gonna say 2009 US release. Unles they put it out in JA first this year, then it's import mania for me.

It's pretty sad that I'm going to buy both japanese and american Tekken 6, unless they get released the same month :/

Haha. I'll be doing it with Final Fantasy IV DS. Played through the import entirely, and now waiting for July to roll in for the US version. Concidering this will be my...eh...10th FFIV purchase? SE has whored me out good with that game.

 

[stotch]

2009.

With online patches, Arcades being a lot like consoles, and SCIV releasing without an Arcade version I want sooner.
