If these figures turn out to be false, I'm going to feel pretty damn guilty about getting the hopes up of Nintendo fans across the world.

For information, these are retailers preorders...Still, I'm agree that Europe could very well be by a fair margin the best region for this game.

Indeed, that's pretty encouraging. I hope they keep their promise as well. There really is some potential in this market for this game.
These casual/hardcore discussions and bitter tears bullshit in every fucking Wii thread are getting really tiresome. Why can't people just get over the fact that Wii is selling to every market out there. Hardcores, casuals, children, elderly and everyone in between wants to own the console.
Nobody cares about new gen, next gen, last gen or what ever nerds on internet boards call it...except for the same nerds. Get over it so we can have some actual discussions about games for once, fuckheads.

"Yesterday, we had a launch party for the Wii game, No More Heroes.
Although here (Japan) it's only shipped 40,000, in America it already broken through 100,000 sell-through. In Europe the game ships in March but it's already received 160,000 orders. Worldwide, we're thinking we'd like to break 500,000 now.
At the party, the boss of Famitsu came along to present a gold award. It's a big deal that he came all this way."
The rest goes on to say that he also met up with a friend from Sega whom he hadn't seen for ages, and then he details his arrangements for today and the immediate future (very busy all weekend and next week), and so he's taking care to look after himself.

It's possible that NMH didn't reach 100K in January but has already reached 100K since in February.
I guess we'll find out the truth tomorrow.

Game End spoiler
Good job Suda! Now, give us a sequel!
"Too bad there won't be a sequel"

Why is everyone wondering wether or not it sold 100,000 copies in the States?
It did, period. If he says it did, it did. They had parties and everything.
Unless of course, some of you think that it went down like this;
"Hey Suda check the site that shall not be named, for the most up-to-date bullshit numbers, instead of our own internal tracking numbers, and retail connections to get proper sell thru numbers"
The game sold exactly what he said it sold. My guess is that it will end up right around 1million lifetime, maybe more.
I am picking it up next week.

I never understand why people hated that site before, but now it´s personal!
any idea on when NPD would confirm/refute it? just saying.. wait for the confirm before 'war'
Dascu said:
Yeah that's pushing it a bit. :lol
Good news for the game though, it's a shame that this didn't get an initial full months of sales.
Oh, and comparing sales of this title (in a week and a half) to Uncharted. :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol If that's not desperation, I don't know what is. Why not go back into your sales threads and continue your epic struggle for sloppy seconds?
Wow at the hate in this thread. :|
Btw, do you think Suda might change his 360 plans and instead make a Ps3 game if NMH sells over 160k in Europe? He's said quite a few times that the target audience for NMH is North America, and his next game will be on 360 because that is the more popular console there. If NMH sells the best in Europe, he might instead make his game for the Ps3 because of how well it's doing there. Just a thought.

that sort-of sounds like a "better than expected" comment.swerve's translation said:
i am, of course happy to see profitable sit-down-and-play-for-a-while games succeed on wii, but i'm also really keen to see it become a system of wild experimentation and strangeness; somewhere where eccentric and only slightly sane designers can really cut loose, making a go of things financially with a "garage" team of talent and some new ideas.

Agreed, it's wearing so thin, but the more you complain the more muppets post things like;
"smash bros. brawl a casual game confirmed"
aaarrrghhh!
Regardless of where the 100K figure came from or if it reflects January's sales or sales up to mid-February, the 40K and 160K retailer orders are certain to be correct since they're internal (and we can assume he knows that it shipped a minimum of 100K in the US if he can talk about a 100K sell-through without pause). That brings the total shipment already to 300K.
Didn't someone say in the other thread that Killer7 on GC and PS2 shipped a combined total of 300K copies lifetime (with the assumption that a lot of those copies went unsold)? NMH has already reached that figure. Any way you cut it, it's more successful than Killer7 was, with the potential to be much more successful (within reasonable expectations, of course). So he has reason to celebrate no matter what the US figure turns out to be.

Excellent news. It can't be said enough: this game really deserves it. I'm only at the rank 6 fight right now, but after Mario Galaxy, this is by far the most fun I've had with the system.
Without knowing how it ends, I don't know if I'd want a true sequel. NMH feels so fresh and creative that I think it should stand on it's own. That being said, I would absolutely love to see another game starring Travis Touchdown on any system Suda wants to develop it for.

Congrats, hopefully his next game wont be published by such a shitty company like Ubisoft, you know a company is doing a shitty job when one person is doing a better advertising campaign than them.
Oh right, his next game is published by Nintendo.
And this isnt getting a sequel for quite a while, at least not directed by him.

Well...
Good for Suda!
America seems to have picked up the GCN Core gamer, and Japan seems to be little more then Casual land. Europe I think is gaining a wide selection of Core gamers, and casual.
Good for Suda though.
After... every single one of his games ended up so freakishly low, I'm glad to see that his wares can sell.
