Any hints of the LTD of Sonic on Wii U? I think the last amount said (might be both NA and EU combined) is 230k?

 

[mentalfloss]

MGR is higher than it should be.

 

[AgentChris]

LOL DmC

Ninja Derp you lost. Eat shit.

 

[BlackJace]

Ni No Kuni > DmC?

Oh that's rich. DMC 5 please.

 

[DaBoss]

Ni no kuni ~ 50k this month, and better than DMC (360+PS3).

DMC bomba.

Now that's a bomba, then again almost nothing has legs this generation.

jett

Oh wow.

 

[Plinko]

Ni no kuni ~ 50k this month, and better than DMC (360+PS3).

Awww yeah.

 

[donny2112]

So PS3 + Vita + PSP = less than 302K.

That makes:

Vita = 38K

PSP = 10K? (shinra-bansho's estimate seems reasonable)

PS3 = ~302 - 38K - 10K = <254K


....

And PS3 + Wii = ~369K

Edit:
Scratch that. Nevermind. Got some numbers mixed up there.

 

[Pie and Beans]

One sword keeps another in the sheath.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Time for game journalists to write more angry articles about how people should have bought DmC even if they didn't want it.

 

[Tagg9]

Nino Kuni PS3 has now sold more copies in the US than Japan.

#hinoamcry

Fantastic news. Maybe this will convince certain Japanese companies to localize more games...

 

[specialguy]

It wasn't shootbang. Duh

instead it was swordcut.

 

[Mileena]

Ni no kuni ~ 50k this month, and better than DMC (360+PS3).

Don't really like it too much but that's awesome. Good to see a JRPG doing decent over here, and especially good to see it doing better than DmC.

 

[GhostOfLawlight]

162,000 for Ni No Kuni in NA alone, not including digital. Should we expect a sequel?

NNK has 933 reviews on the US PS store. I would be surprised if it sold in the 5 digits digitally.

 

[Xenon]

GR sold more in Japan on a single console than it did in America on two.

Fucking dudebros

What did you expect? Did the game even have a online multiplayer mode?

 

[Manmademan]

Good. Fuck DmC.

isn't this a little harsh? is the game itself actually bad?

 

[Magicpaint]

Very good for Ni No Kuni.

 

[BlackJace]

MGR is higher than it should be.

 

[Cidd]

Ni no kuni ~ 50k this month, and better than DMC (360+PS3).

This is good news imo.

 

[Bruno MB]

Ni no kuni ~ 50k this month, and better than DMC (360+PS3).

Thanks, so after 2 months DMC: Devil May Cry hasn't reached 250,000 units yet.

 

[Takao]

162,000 for Ni No Kuni in NA alone, not including digital. Should we expect a sequel?

You shouldn't expect one. But with European numbers you shouldn't be surprised if there is one.

 

[Pie and Beans]

162,000 for Ni No Kuni in NA alone, not including digital. Should we expect a sequel?

You'd think Level-5 actually having a modicum of success this go around would suggest that. HERES MORE DANBALL SENKI INSTEAD.

 

[Y2Kev]

Pubs. lol. Sign NT -> get bomb

formula does not change

 

[Totobeni]

Ni no kuni ~ 50k this month, and better than DMC (360+PS3).

in-house Japanese developed DMC5 with Panta Rhei engine is almost a guarantee right now..good stuff.

 

[jett]

DMC bomba.



jett
Mr. Negativity
(Today, 09:36 PM)

the fuck is this? You yourself said DMC bomba.

 

[Zee-Row]

Wasn't Level-5 saying that the sales of Ni No Kuni in the U.S. would determine if a sequel was made?

 

[shinra-bansho]

I'm more inclined to believe that PSP is ~1K, which would make PS3 < 263K. That would also fit with Wii seeing a February-type bump over January's 4-week adjusted numbers, too.

creamsugar told us PSP was ~10K January though. I don't know why it would suddenly be 1K. It could have declined in February though I guess.

Even at 255K, on a per week basis, that's an almost 60% increase over January.

Wii's per week increase will also be ~40%.

Which is why the stuff about how impressive the 45% increase for Wii U was seems rather silly now.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

More like Dante going the way of Mega Man.

 

[Elios83]

Nino Kuni PS3 has now sold more copies in the US than Japan.

#hinoamcry

Well he gets the money anyway
Still I'm not sure what went wrong with Ni No Kuni in Japan, I don't think that people were so disappointed by the DS version that they ran away....
Also the collaboration with Ghibli should have resulted in more fans buying the game...
So it's definetly a weird case.

 

[Nirolak]

Wasn't Level-5 saying that the sales of Ni No Kuni in the U.S. would determine if a sequel was made?

Well, the West in general.

 

[Alex]

If they ever do, I humbly request they outsource anything related to combat.

 

[Road]

Nino Kuni PS3 has now sold more copies in the US than Japan.

#hinoamcry

It has also sold more than any Tales of this gen in the US.

Should Namco be happy or sad?

 

[Mr. Fix]

I'm curious, what were the numbers for DmC in January?

 

[PhoenixDark]

WiiU is avoiding market saturation which is a good thing in the short term. 300k Xbox 360s sold just means 300k fewer people purchasing an Xbox 360 next month. Therefore The WiiU's growth potential is larger than any console or handheld on the market.

 

[BD1]

The silver lining for Nintendo is that they probably made huge bank on 115K Wii sales.

But damn, Wii U is a disaster right now.

 

[DaBoss]

the fuck is this? You yourself said DMC bomba.

Was referring to the "almost nothing has legs this generation". Though now that I think about it, that sounds true.

 

[Kagari]

isn't this a little harsh? is the game itself actually bad?

It's a garbage game, at least in my opinion.

 

[Kusagari]

in-house Japanese developed DMC5 with Panta Rhei engine is almost a guarantee right now..good stuff.

hahahaahahaha

Capcom's putting the series in the cellar after this.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Why did Pachter think the PS3 was going to drop to 180k anyway?

That would have been a gigantic and random YoY drop.

Dat spin.

 

[Meier]

I'm super impressed with both of those numbers for Fire Emblem. Wow!

 

[Busaiku]

How much has Ni no Kuni sold in the US?

162k

You mean Ninja Theory making DMC5, the return to the setting people loved by the critically acclaimed developer!

 

[grandjedi6]

Ah, well that puts things into perspective. Thanks. I'm still salty about the lack of New Mystery.

Yeah but its understandable now why we did not. After SD bombing, and the really poor performance of PoR and RD, Nintendo was rather justified in assuming that the series was on decline (because it kinda was). Thankfully, Awakenings success will probably guarantee continued localizations for Fire Emblem.

 

[Kazerei]

creamsugar is what makes this thread worthwhile

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

I'm curious, what were the numbers for DmC in January?

Somewhere between 200k-187k.

 

[Slurmer]

isn't this a little harsh? is the game itself actually bad?

No, it's pretty good.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Ni no kuni ~ 50k this month, and better than DMC (360+PS3).

Ohh thank you Jesus in Heaven.

So happy to see a JRPG do well. A great one at that.

 

[Soriku]

Wow at Ninokuni. Very happy JRPGs are selling with that and FE.

 

[RamzaIsCool]

What kinda numbers did the DS put up around this time in it's lifecycle? I have a feeling that the 3DS is really underperforming, tho with the even worse WiiU numbers it doesn't really get noticed.
