Ok, the hell is wrong with Falcom. Why.

Armored Core V target seems hilariously bad too. WO3 as well.

Nope, nothing to save.

I'm still amazed a single title sold that many systems, considering the amount of units it was doing this year...MH...monster seller.

Are 3DS sale 2 days only like MH4 or its for the whole week ? Either way quite impressive, especially MH4 being so close to MHP3 with only 2 days vs 5 days.

maybe they mean WW? this game is gonna be released on steam and stuff right? or am i thinking of other falcom games

Sen no Kiseki is the 6th episode of the Kiseki serie, what has been recently announced for the west is the 2nd Kiseki Sora no Kiseki SC (which will be named Trails in the Sky 2) for next year on PSP and steam. So the Sen no Kiseki sale goal is Japan only and the best selling Kiseki in Japan is the 5th, Ao no Kiseki, with ~200k on PSP. Bomba incoming.

The MH4 and 3DS numbers are really impressive. I honestly didn't expect MH4 to come this close to P3rd and now I find out that it's 2 vs 5 days? Wonder how it'll hold up in the coming months :)

Which game was left out of the top 10?
 

Aostia

El Capitan Todd
I ask also here:

basically it sold slighlty less than MHP3 but with just two days tracked against 5, and with digital sales not included?
Could it be nearer to MHP3 debut numbers including digital sales?
It seems a very good result

Looking back, FFXII really did presage the diminishment of the brand. With ~80% of the LTD sales in the first few days, you are only selling to the diehards who rush out on that very first weekend. Nobody else is interested anymore - so it really did give a good indication of what happened with the brand this gen.

It's about damn time Square Enix announced that FFCC Hunting Action game I've been dreaming about.

I forgot that the Famitsu numbers only include retail and download cards. wowowowo

With 3DS at 300k, looking how the other consoles sold in the last weeks, I fear we'll see the real PAC-MAN, this time.

Nice to have that confirmed, and not a bad start to the new year at all.

Yeah, 2014 is shaping up nicely so far.

Dragon Quest Monsters 2
Super Smash Bros. 4
Mario Golf: World Tour
Theathrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call
Bravely Default 2?

It took me a good 10 seconds to get this. Well played.

Zelda: ALBW is 2014 too.

Also, for 2014 so far

Puyo Puyo Tetris
That Sonico title developed by ImageEpoch

EDIT: DAMN, I forgot Yoshi again :lol
 
Plus Puyo Puyo Tetris, Layton 7, Disney Infinity, Hero Bank, Sonipro, Kuroko's Basketball, Touch Detective 3, New Love Plus+ and Maple Story!

Oh, and
Kirby
!

Oh and Rodea and Kaiou if either ever get released!

I do wonder what else Nintendo will bring to the 3DS first-party wise next year.

As said many times, Kirby is the obvious one. 3DS still has no Kirby title, outside of the 3D Classic. It won't be like this for so long.
Another big possibility is Rhythm Heaven, IMHO.

I've read only small tips about it: is it a re-release as Fantasy Life Link?
There's nothing official as far as I'm aware - just a scan from a competition in I think Coro Coro Magazine to draw a cat as the protagonist to appear in the 'sequel'. I expect a Fantasy Life/Bravely Default update rather than a full sequel but it's not confirmed either way.

I could almost see Nintendo calling up Capcom and saying well played. Can't see how Capcom wouldn't be pleased with their choice.

In the first 3 weeks of September 3DS has sold 436.046 units.

Still 2 weeks left. Our predictions were in the range of 550.000 units (I saw 5 or 6 people predicting over 600.000 units, even 700.000), if shortages are severe our numbers won't look that bad xD
 
This corroborates what Chris said about retailer musings regarding 3DS stock. Surprised Nintendo wasn't prepared enough, though. Then again I didn't expect MH or the 3DS bump to be this high either, lol.

Would've been interesting to see 3DS sales without the stock problems. Really weird that they don't have that much stock for the most popular platform in Japan.

I think I predicted 350k lol ( ̄□ ̄)
