I would guess that he ment that even if expetations are made, it doesnt neccessarily means that it is a success. Well, maybeit is a success taking the met expectations into account, but not neccessarily a big success, if you know what i mean?markatisu said:
I thought about if this could be a possibility too, that Marvelous' expetations were lowered based on some previous sales of 3rd party games on the Wii.markatisu said:
Everyone is involved, from the developer to the publisher to the distributors to the retailers to the preorders to the marketing, even the manufacturer can screw you.test_account said:

He says its pretty good to have a 50% digestion first day. Its not. It can be pretty good, good, okay, bad or pretty bad. 50% as it is means nothing here, you have to take all the other factors into account to see if its good or not, 50% out of 1000 units isn't pretty good, or it could be if you game breaks at 500 units or if comparable games had sold less than that. I agree with you that 50% first day means you saw right demand coming, but it doesn't mean anything to the performance of the game by itself.donny2112 said:

What was the bolded text about? I am just curiousJokeropia said:
I see, but are there some parts that play a bigger role than others when it comes to how many games that are printed to begin with?Kurosaki Ichigo said:

I agree that it can be good in itself to sell 50% of the shipment on the first day, and by this itself it might not be a bomb, but can there be a possibility that the retailers requested fewer copies of the game than MMV first though that the retailers would request? Is 18,000 for a RPG on the most sold console in Japan good or bad? I know that this is only the first day numbers though, and it might end up selling quite more than 18,000 when it is all said and done. We will see what happendsEDarkness said:
I dont think that Suda was too happy with the sales of No More Heros in Japan, at least i remember that he said something like that to begin with after No More Heroes was launched in Japan. Maybe he changed his opinion after the game kept on selling a few more copies in Japan though, i dont know :\EDarkness said:
Maybe something similar will happend with Arc Rise Fantasia as well.I agree, a new colored Wii + Monster Hunter 3 bundle might sell pretty goodschuelma said:

But ye, the worldwide numbers for No More Heroes seems to be pretty good
Oh, i thought that No More Heroes had an LTD of around 40k in Japan for some reason. I tried to find the worldwide sale numbers for No More Heroes not that long ago, so i checked on Wikipedia. I guess that is where i saw the 40k number for Japan, but i checked Wikipedia again now and i see no mention of 40k, so i dont know where i got that from hehe. I guess i should have checked Garaph.info instead. Thanks for the infodonny2112 said:
Ah ye, i understand, that the Wii YTD will pass the PS3 YTD in not that long, and then there might be more stuff to discuss, so the Media Create threads will be more active, correct?Jokeropia said:
I was just wondering what the bolded text ment Do we have anything of NMH other than its appearance in the 2007 Top 500 a few weeks from launch?donny2112 said:
Next week's MC numbers, unless the Wii-PS3 weekly number is quite less than it's been the previous four weeks.test_account said:

Yeah, but the expectations of the supply chain the first day means nothing to the expectations for the game and thus qualifying its performance, which is why the percentage stand-alone means nothing else than a simple under/over shipment in the retail channel, and even in that case, qualifying just looking at the percentage without taking into account the software it is would also be simplistic.Deku said:
Hell no, it isn't bed-time yet in my country. I'd rather stick forks in my eyes than lose a single minute of bed-time discussing in the internets, so I just do it in my free time.jeremy1456 said:

Basically, the last few months saw a lot of big releases for PS3 which prompted a bunch of new people to come visit the threads. (Activity tends to increase when the status quo is shaken.) Now that things are returning to a more normal state, activity goes down.test_account said:Ah ye, i understand, that the Wii YTD will pass the PS3 YTD in not that long, and then there might be more stuff to discuss, so the Media Create threads will be more active, correct?

duckroll said:The new movie was the top grossing non-Ghibli anime in like forever. The DVD release is the top selling DVD of last year. The blu-ray release just broke the blu-ray sales record in Japan. Etc.
To note the Wii title is the one that costs magically 0 to make, its also made in 3 days by 2 guys who had no previous experience and its the littlest project for the same studio.donny2112 said:
