I don't know where this idea that Mario Party suddenly stops selling comes from but if someone look at previous entries he'll see the legs this game has. The game will be over 200k before the end of this year.

I wasn't really doubting MP legs as much as the Wii U.

I just looked at MP9 sales. Opened at ~150k and crossed 500k about 2 1/2 months later while still doing ~9k a week. Impressive.

 

[Pennywise83]

Might be the same people that hate/dislike every MH that isn't on their favorite system so I wouldn't read too much into it. We agreed that there probably won't be a MH5 yet and it won't be on 3DS, so some people expected/hoped for a Vita/PS4 game before MH5 hits.

Doesn't look like Capcom will be changing their MH platforms anytime soon. I think "HD" versions of MH Stories and MH4G will be ready near launch of the nxt Nintendo handheld and MH5 will follow after that.

Be careful: some people might already think that MH Stories is signalling the end of the Nintendo x Capcom deal

Nintendo is the only company that needs to moneyhat developers to keep their multi million selling IPs on their systems xD

Listened to the latest IGN Nintendo Voice Chat and they were arguing that Nintendo probably had to convince L5 to put YW3 on 3DS, even though they earlier admitted that YW2 versions sold amazing +5 million on 3DS earlier. Well...

Obviously Capcom is making a kiddy version of MonHun for Nintendo so they can move the main games back to Sony, who has a more mature audience.

Obviously.

The much heralded return of the MH Portable series is upon is. Dr.Robschiz redeemed.

 

[DrWong]

So can we say Level 5 is going the MH route with his YW Buster spinoff and Capcom going the YW route with the MH Stories spinoff?

[Moor-Angol]

iirc in the beginning Saturn was selling better than PS1, when roads crossed ?

 

[sörine]

In addition to legs, I think Mario Party 10 will be ripe for this year's Family Bundle to help push sales. They'll probably need to throw in a second game with it though, maybe Smash would be good so they can push it past a million.

Dengeki Sales: Week 14, 2015 (Mar 30 - Apr 05)

29./13. [PS4] Disgaea 5 (Nippon Ichi Software) {2015.03.26} - 4.444 / 30.056 (-83%)

Amusingly I believe the number 4 is symbolic of death in Japan. RIPNIS.

found Famitsu weekly hardware sales before 2000

next week the comparison chart will be DC / GC / PS3 / Wii U / PS4

Can't wait!

I don't know. This seems more like them cushioning the blow before dropping the megaton at the monster hunter event that mh5 is for vita/ps4
on a side note, has Sony made any price cuts for vita in Japan in a while?

 

[BKK]

Going by shipments they were neck and neck through Q3 1996 before PS started to pull clearly ahead from Q4 1996. By Q1 1997 PS was well ahead.

 

[sörine]

MH5 on PS5/Vita? It's hard to tell who's being sarcastic in these threads anymore.

I don't really know who are joking and who are not now anymore lol.^_^

Well on the topic on MHSt, any what is the potential sales here? Is it going to at least sold around 1 mill? or just 500k here?^_^

Monhan Nikki did ~600k and I'd suggest this is a more significant project than that. It's hard to say without seeing more of the game yet but if it really is essentially Pokémonhan it could be huge.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

But not the 3DS going from dead, to great 2015 line up, then new Monster Hunter game in 2016. Coming for 20 million units sold.

 

[Chris1964]

YSO predictions

Week 16, 2015 (Apr 13 - Apr 19)

[3DS] Style Savvy 3: Kira Kira Code < 80k
[PS4] Dying Light < 30k
[3DS] Future Card Buddy Fight: Yuujou no Jounetsu Fight! < 20k

 

[sörine]

But not the 3DS going from dead, to great 2015 line up, then new Monster Hunter game in 2016. Coming for 20 million units sold.

3DS is going to end up being the 3rd best selling game platform ever in Japan. Not bad all things considered.

oh, thx for your reply

wow, until 96 ? that damn FF7...



another question : geimin data about WS are accurate ? I was thinking to make a comparison between WS and Vita

Vita already passed WS... I noticed right now

Yep, exactly my prediction as well.

 

[Eolz]

We'll probably need more details before doing precise predictions for MHSt yeah. Could it also be Capcom's continuation at trying to get a younger audience after Gaist Crusher failed to do that?

3DS is going to end up being the 3rd best selling game platform ever in Japan. Not bad all things considered.

Since it's doing worse than the DS, it's obviously a disappointing performance

Spoiler

as some would say

...

 

[Kresnik258]

Could it also be Capcom's continuation at trying to get a younger audience after Gaist Crusher failed to do that?

That was my thoughts after the announcement too. It certainly fits the description of Gaist Crusher I seem to remember them using when it was first announced, Monster Hunter for a younger audience.

 

[Asd202]

3DS is going to end up being the 3rd best selling game platform ever in Japan. Not bad all things considered.

[Wynnebeck]

You joke, but there would be a mass cry from the Nintendo fanbase if Capcom did something of this nature. Hell, half of GAF would have to be put on suicide watch. Just gotta buckle down and wait for the event. As for the Vita, they've bee doing bundles, but I haven't seen an actual price cut since the 2000 came out right?

PS2's 22m aren't as far as you believe.

10th? If it's lucky?

PS2's 22m aren't as far as you believe.

It'll beat that easy. GB and DS are untouchable though.

 

[Welfare]

What about worldwide?

Top 10? There's the PS2, DS, PS1, Wii, 360/PS3, PSP, and I guess PS4 for when it stops selling.

 

[Busaiku]

Didn't PSP beat PS2 when they respectively stopped tracking them.

 

[theprodigy]

What about worldwide?

let's see...

PS2, DS, GB/GBC, PS1, Wii, GBA, 360, PS3, PSP, (PS4 eventually)

11th?

maybe both of them, it's normal to see a boost when release date is approaching (see Girl's Mode 3, out on next thursday)
