Kojima's name is worthless. I think he should have realized this after ZoE and Boktai totally bombed. The only reason MGS sells is because people are interested in what MGS is, and Kojima is a good enough designer and director to create a high quality product with that theme. MGS would still sell without Kojima if someone else could maintain the high quality of the games.

Does anyone think that Level 5 might drop the physical book on Ni No Kuni PS3 and make it digital only (included in the game, as being accessed through a menu) if they have problems selling the DS version's first shipment?

This isn't completely unexpected. Higurashi also released on the PS2, which definitely had a more established fanbase for VN(If I'm not mistaken, you can count the number of VN for the PS3 on two hands). Still it's disappointing. I wonder if this means no Chiru in the future?

It's Capcom. I bet they're already well into work of porting the game to the 3DS.

Depends on how stubborn Hino is. The book idea is his pet project and something he has been pushing hard. He wants it to be a true premium physical role playing experience where the player gets to use the book just like the character in the game, in real life. He is also the CEO of his private company. If he changes his mind, sure it could happen. If he doesn't, then no one has the authority to overwrite him.
Takao said:
That's not the problem he's talking about. The book makes the package huge and expensive, and retailers will be wary of stocking another product like that from the same publisher if this goes very badly.

Ye, in that way it probably is less of a problem with a standalone console compared to a handheld indeedTakao said:
But as duckroll said, i was thinking about the financial concern of bundling a book like this with every copy of the game.Ah ok, i see. Maybe the physical book on the PS3 will be more of a limited edition while the standard edition will have the book on the disc, but we'll see what happendsduckroll said:

Many of us do say that quite frequently about "any game." There is a subset of people who insist that certain directors like Kojima are an exception to this rule, but reality seems to disagree. :lol

The next ridiculous Level 5 package is actually Cardboard Senki in March. The PSP game will ship in a box with a special plastic model kit of the prototype robot in the game. It is not a limited edition, it's a freebie. Every single package is supposed to have that, and while there will be actual retail model kits sold based on the various robots in the game, the prototype one (before customization) is only available if you buy the game.
We'll see how that sells. It should tell us a few things:
a) Are retailers turned off by the large L5 packages regardless of game?
b) Do consumers avoid buying packages which look large and potentially perceived as more expensive compared to a normal game package?

I think that it is too early to say too much about the PSP2 since we dont know it's features or pricetag. Systems does sometimes follow their predecessor's success, but not always. A good example of this is the PS3 and the Wii. Back in the days before we knew the PS3's and Wii's functions and pricetags it was commonly belived that the PS3 would be the most popular system due to the popularity of the PS1 and the PS2. But as we all know, this didnt happend.zero_suit said:
Oh, i didnt know about this game. It should be interesting to see how it sells and it could tell us something about future release of Level 5 games indeed when it comes to have big packagesduckroll said:

All this talk about MHP3 got me thinking, before MHP3G on PSP2 or 3DS, we should get a home console MH3G right? Maybe by August/September of next year or so. Do people still think that will be Wii exclusive? Or, given how a lot of ex Wii exclusives (NMH, SW3, ToG, Rune Factory, etc) are now going PS3Wii, will MH3G be going that route as well? Or maybe even PS3 exclusive?
I'm kinda interested to see where it will go. I personally think it'll go PS3/Wii, maybe even PS3/Wii/360. When MHTri launched, the series was at an all time high popularity at the time, and it was the first home console MH to sell over a million, I believe MH is even more popular now than a couple of years ago and could maybe even outsell FFXIII as the best 3rd party home console game this generation in Japan.

Eh... It was released long ago, did quite well and is now off the charts? I don't know what you're asking here.The Antitype said:
As expected. No wonder why Nintendo always say that this months are their biggest selling ones.
Kinda weird too how a few months ago I was banned, because I was laughing at all those sites and the thread here about "PS3 outsells Wii in Japan" for the year, back then it was like a 20k difference; for which I made fun of the sites and the sensationalist titles like that because it was only after a week and I said that things may change before the end of the year.
Now Wii's back to outselling the PS3 for the year (and again wit ha 20k difference), probably incoming reports soon (and thread) so I won't say anything this time.

The question is not whether they "moneyhatted" Tri - they almost certainly did in terms of advertising support, development assistance (the CCPro seems to have been mostly a response to the demands of Capcom and MH players), pushing it in the West etc. etc. - but whether or not that agreement extends to prevent Capcom from releasing a MH game on a competing home console (for the sake of this discussion, I'm ignoring Frontier, as it seems to just be a bit of an oddity and not on the level of, say, a hypothetical Tri G PS3/Wii crossplatform release).

Castlevania was never big in Japan. The devs normally state the games are targeted towards a western audience since that's where it sells.Ricker said:

Avoid the ambiguity altogether and spell out the month.

It keeps the EU format and avoid confusion about what the dates cover.

Wow, I was right about MHP3 being the biggest selling 3rd week. Sucker is pounding away at the charts, lol. Maybe my prediction that it will outsell Pokemon will come to pass...no idea though.
Also it's sad to see the Wii sell so much again. Almost nothing has released for it, but that bump is massive. WTH!?
Oh well, another crappy prediciton by me(that PS3 would keep its lead). I am depressed.
