Wow. This shows yet again, after the success of RE4Wii and Zack and Wiki, that Europe has the best and most hardcore Wii following. I am proud. Very, very proud.

Good point, we are halfway through February. This could be 'shipped to retailer' (which usually does mean close to sold number for niche titles). Still good (awesome in fact), but may not show up in Jan NPD?Stormbringer said:Now that I think about it, could it be that the 100k number mentioned by the MMV boss "spilled" over the NPD period ? Apparently he didn't really mention which period this number covered... Once again, all we can do now is wait for the NPD numbers (and hope that the MMV boss mentions his damn source).
That's still pretty damn good. I hope Rising Star provides a good marketing campaign for NMH, as they said they would.Stormbringer said: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.

A little Travis Touchdown reference huh?hamzik said: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.

lsslave said:Theory here:
The HARDCORE Wii owners (the NINTENDO FANBOYZ! lawlZ!...sorry >.<) seem to be supporting third party games that have actual effort maybe?
I mean... for those of us who 'only buy Nintendo games' maybe there are others like me who have become savvy and buy the best games released on the system (in genres we like)
for another system NMH would be lost in the waves of other releases, for the Wii it has a very avid fanbase who are aching for great games compared to what the 'big' western publishers give us it seems ^_^
Thanks. Well, it looks like they're happy with the sales. Good good.swerve said:"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.
Go back to Kansas Dorothy.moku said:The game sold exactly what he said it sold. My guess is that it will end up right around 1million lifetime, maybe more.
Baiano19 said:Ok, if this turns out to be actually ioi´s number that the president got, I would hereby declare war against that fucking site...
I never understand why people hated that site before, but now it´s personal!
:lol :lol :lolmoku said: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.
Dascu said::lol :lol :lol
I really want to sell a lot too, but a million is just impossible.
that sort-of sounds like a "better than expected" comment.swerve's translation said:we're thinking we'd like to break 500,000 now.

sakuragi said:Congratulations to Suda. This game is really underrated and deserves more love/sales. Its one of my top three Wii games behind Zelda the twilight princess and Mario galaxy. Too bad the rest of the Wii games suck.
Dever said: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's 2 weeks in january for a game that was only publicized by the internetz and it's packaging. i'd call that pretty good.FTWer said:100,000 is now good?
bluheim said:20 millions Wii Worldwide. 500 000 NMH in the end and in the best case scenario. I'll let you do the math.
Too bad the rest of the Wii games suck.
