Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
So chances Chrono will reach 500k now are much slimmer eh? Not even at 400k yet and already out of top 10

... but whatever they shipped, 5k is a bomb!
Wasn't Klonoa expected to bomb? Isn't it on the decline?

And didn't this game out performed their previous game on PS3 by almost 50%? Then again this game had a bigger budget but still. You can't expect such high sales for such a niche genre.

What gets me is that this is a system which has only recently had a massively-successful mascot fighter that isn't too far removed from TvsC. Beyond the core fighing game fans, there's an audience there that should be receptive to something like this but they're just not biting.
Well, that's kind of positive but a 15k opening day suggests a 25-30k opening week maximum, and given recent weeks where Wii titles have apparently flatlined at the first day figure I'm not even sure of that.

Ouch. That's fucking *terrible* for TvC. I kind of wondered about the strategy of releasing the home port before the arcade version had a little time to endear itself, though.

Well, look--different games have different breakeven points, right? I don't have a crystal ball and I'm not going to say "100,000 is the ideal breakeven point for most software!" or any gibberish like that...
... but do you think any software breaks even at 10k? 15k? Maybe text adventures? Probably not Klonoa. Even if you were looking at 50k lifetime I'd probably not have said anything, but 10-15k?
If this project is designed to be profitable, it isn't. If it's designed to promote a future Klonoa Wii title, I'm not sure a 5k audience for a money-losing product is really good advertising bang for buck. Couldn't they put building-sized banners up in Tokyo instead? Wouldn't that be a better primer?
So the decent enough sellthrough just means that Namco realized before launch that this project was going to be a failure rather than after launch. Better than having rotten stock sitting everywhere poisoning your goodwill with retails, but not as good as actually making money!

from 2chan:
Tatsunoko shipment: 70.000
15.000 = 21,43 %
I expect ~ 22.500 first week (15.000 x 1,5), would be 32,14 % of the shipment.

Well, something has to be done but Im fucked if I know what. Do Nintendo need to publish more third-party software? Should they be doing more advertising for core software? Do they need to buy up more exclusives? Why does something like Fatal Frame 4 succeed in becoming the best-selling instalment in the series when another quality game like TvsC seems destined to be one of the lowest-selling (if not THE lowest-selling) Versus title?
The picture is brighter in the West but Nintendo and third-parties need to figure out how to get traditional software selling well and selling consistently in Japan pretty damn sharpish.

Whoa TVC should have done ten times what it did on the first day....or at least five times.

Yeah, I think the main reason is bad or to little marketing, they can't spend that much money like Nintendo on this.Cosmonaut X said:

they really bombed hard, TvC seems like to following them, even if there are just few beat'em ups which sell well (Tekken, Virtua Fighter, probably SFIV), games like Arcana Heart, Melty Blood and Guilty Gear never had great numbers in recent years.

A question:
http://www.famitsu.com/game/rank/top30/1220486_1134.html
Does the sell-through-rate refer to the weekly or LTD sales?

Does the sell-through-rate refer to the weekly or LTD sales?
Maybe TvsC should have had a console-exclusive Resident Evil character, or some other Capcom character the Wii buyers could relate to. I'd say Zack & Wiki but considering how little the actual game sold I'd hardly imagine the inclusion of those characters pushing a title to any kind of decent sales.
Or hell, just throw Link in there. Personally I'd love to see him fighting (again) in a traditional 2D fighting game alongside the other Capcom characters.

I was about to ask something about that, when Sinobi writes something about "expected" for a game, who is he/she refering to then? Expected from the developer/publisher, the stores, Sinobi himself/herself or from something/someone else? Does anyone know?Spiegel said:
