Well then I feel you should play the game before complaining about it. It addresses alot of the things you have been complaining about.

Yeah, I'm not worried about Vita at all in JP.
From July until November it sold 18k. Last 2 weeks it sold 800 copies. It is currently at 947k. 1 million won't be easy.
Ouch. Yeah, not a chance in hell.

This isn't exactly true either. There aren't fully formed and functional separate main/portable teams, there's different leads with a lot of shared staff under them. The Portable leads might be free, but that doesn't mean the team that made the Portable games is.

So, uh, predictions next week are a bitch, don't see how to do them, enlighten me (Chris, Road I trust thee):
- So there's Vita HW and a fucking huge list to pick from. I'll pick like 8 and if something doesn't chart, so be it.
- Normal week stuff there's FFXIII PS3 and Inazuma 3DS, but just those two? Adding FFXIII 360, Penguin game on 3DS would be biasing rankings heavily, but not sure if including a 3DS HW and MH3G 2nd week (or something like that) to have more than just 2.
- Huge set means huge posts on huge threads lately, should we take this week into a new specific thread so we don't clutter this one?
- Rankings, not sure either, on 3DS launch there was an overall and a 3DS specific (so 6+6=12 medals, 4 winners) but maybe its better to have both separate (normal and vita) and the overall (thus 6+6+6=18 medals, 6 winners)? Like the 3DS launch it kinda nullifies normal week stuff, opposed to having each separate.
I'm going to drown in excel sheets at this rate, but hey, a special week is special, if we have to unleash the kraken so be it.
PD: Kenka, why did you predict twice in the last thread? Or was the 2nd a comment on Road's predictions (altering 1 entry making me doubtful). I took the first.

So you admit to bashing on the series without having played the latest entry? One which addresses almost all of your complaints about the alleged formula.
That seems kind of silly to me. You are right to be weary after the ugly trainwreck that was TP, but SS blows that pile of shit out of the water. I would play it before making claims that the series has stagnated beyond the hope of recovery.
Fixed.
I dunno I love all Zelda games.
Based on the six hours that I've played of Skyward this seems accurate. Gamecube version of Twilight Princess of course.

Nintendo managed to make Mario 64, then Sunshine and then Galaxy. I guess the problem with Zelda, if there is a major problem to begin with, resides in conscious design choices, rather than they really believing some stuff become dull but not being able to do something about it.
I sheepishly believed Zelda's cap to be much more than few millions, but I guess it will never become a Mario. Though maybe I am wrong, Elders Scrolls really expanded its market.
Maybe you should go only for a set with the 2 top games, Vita hw and 2 Vita games. There aren't the very big releases and most games will move low numbers comparing to the big ones making predictions very difficult. Either way you decide.
As for moving predictions to a seperate thread it's not very functional as the thread would have to remain active so that people can see it.

I'm thinking MNG6 and either Uncharted or Ridge Racer.

Hmm, that's not a bad idea at all but it sounds like austerity measures to help the spaniard get through this...that must make you the german! Hah, I'm still not sure where are you from but from now on I'm going to picture you as a german (the perfect excel database makes more sense now). Still, my spaniard proud is probably going to make one big invincible army of predictions this week (to be sunk by next week). Will be a good way to go.
Zelda cycle, HO!
Besides Arbiters, Snowpeak and City in the Sky, Twilight Princess has nothing.
You're provoking for the sake of it. Sad.

Pretty much. I would't go as far as saying TP is better in every way, but then even SS's stronger points come with qualifications. SS's graphics are better, for example, but there's less visual variety.
I see you're not familiar with duckroll.
Half of them are trolling, and half of them have

Well, that's kind of the point of the digression, right? The series has been so consistently mediocre and unrewarding for the last decade that I'm not willing to bite even when the anonymous masses attempt to reassure me that things are different this time we swear. I don't think it's crazy to imagine that a lot of people feel the same way.
Plus I mean, frankly the people whose opinions I trust from experience have been more negative than posiive! If duckroll says it's worse than Twilight Princess...
That doesn't mean they're all the same quality.
Ah It was opposite day, I get it now.
He did nothing but gush while actually playing it. I wouldn't take his "opinion" at face value.

Why not have just have to seperate predictions. One for Top 4 releases outside of Vita then a prediction for Vita plus its top 4 titles. Maybe that's too hard, don't really know what goes into it.

I can't disagree, but then Twilight Princess is the 2nd best 3D Zelda.
it was too remarkable
Twilight princess was the first Zelda game I had ever played and I absolutely loved it. On the other hand, I understand why longtime players may find the series increasingly stale. Nonetheless Twilight princess was still amazing to me. Also playing Twilight princess first has made it hard for me to really get into the older games.
What happened to this thread? lol
Re: Monster Hunter "clones"
God Eater devs have already been talking about Vita on their dev blogs. It is likely that will go there.
Phantasy Star Portable - noone knows. That's the OG in this genre though. I imagine they'll try and get PSO2 popular before releasing a new PSP.
The Square one is on Vita/PSP (it's crap anyway).
Besides, I'm pretty sure we'll see MH on Vita in one form or another Capcom supports hardware, even when it's not doing massively well sales-wise. Look at the GC and original Xbox.

It's Monster Hunter Portable 3rd G. Get it right
I'm curious if we'll see a repeat of that when FFXIII-2 sales come in.
Not every way.

And even i am moderately surprised
Check out Wii MHTri sales and Monster Hunter Frontier and tell me that what you think?
though i agree the -name- itself _IS_ superceded by it actually being portable, i think it's Japanese people who sometimes need it SCREAMED at them!
keep dreaming that dream - you've been talking about it for months now! THE POWER OF MONSTER HUNTER!
800k G-Bomba unko-bomb incoming!

Capcom needs to unite the two series branches eventually, if there is indeed this huge gulf between the two.
Luckily, names are the easiest things to change in a game's development. If the name matters, fuck MH4 and just go directly to MHP4.
Why? It's a piss easy way to get out of exclusivity deals, surely.

well, excluding iOS we have three distinct branches of MH ("mainline", Portable, Frontier) - however, i'm interested to see if the trailer for MH4 is indicitive of a change in direction or whether it's just a target for some new ideas.
There may also be some objection or agreement regarding the "portable" name from prior agreements with Sony (?)
Presumably they'd know when they're buying it on a portable system or not.
Iwata must be an idiot I guess, if he secured the exclusivity.
I could see them putting frontier type mmo game on Vita though - but IF it sells on 3DS why split the fanbase even further. Every Capcom 3DS title is published by NoE these days, so will Tri G. At this point MH on 3DS will have to bomb to get a Vita version.
