Nintendo title and known shipment from before usually don't go together.

Thanks.

It passed some time since the last time I posted some data from Comgnet's Preorders Ranking page...so...

[PSP] Black Panther 2: Yakuza Ashura Chapter - 140pt
[PSP] Black Panther: A New Tale of Yakuza - 194pt

[PSP] Super Robot Taisen: Z2-2 - 267pt
[PSP] Super Robot Taisen: Z2 - 372pt

[3DS] Kid Icarus: Uprising - 84pt

[3DS] Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance - 179pt
[NDS] Kingdom Hearts re:Coded - 83pt
[PSP] Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep - Final Mix - 87pt
[NDS] Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days - 452pt
[PSP] Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep - 775pt

[3DS] Fire Emblem: Awakening - 41pt
[NDS] Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon - less than 28pt
[NDS] Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem - Hero of Light and Shadow - less than 30pt

So, the only very strange element here is Kingdom Hearts. Its preorders started much, much nearer to the release date than what happened with both Bbs and 358/2 days, but it's really low compared to those.

However, recently, various 3DS titles with a certain number of preorders, even much worse than their past correspondant did even great results for their respective series, sign of a very great popularity...so, maybe, the game will be picked up a lot just "on the spot", with the purchase of the console itself, especially with the bundle...

 

[timetokill]

I'm not going to participate in the entire thing, just noting for posterity's sake that I am predicting Kid Icarus at 65k

 

[guek]

I'll be very sad if KI does under 100k :-(

 

[donny2112]

YTD using Famitu's method. Oh, I forgot I put something into that calculation to make it MC's method instead. Cool!

Let's try this.

[PSP] Black Panther 2: Yakuza Ashura Chapter - 140000

[PS3] Ninja Gaiden 3 - 36,345
[PS3] Devil May Cry HD Collection - 23,234
[PSV] Little Busters! Converted Edition - 7,789

I've taken several weeks off from predictions but with a new Yakuza game it's time to jump back in. Hopefully Kid Icarus doesn't tank and Ryu ga Gotoku keeps on trucking.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Let's see if I can still be in the Top5 this week, I waaay overestimated MGS3D (67k iirc) last time because (like I said in my post) it was more me wanting the game to do very good, like a lucky charm if you will, than about making a grounded prediction, and that one got me off a couple of spots afaik.

Predictions:

[3DS] Kid Icarus: Uprising - 89.012
[PSP] Black Panther 2: Yakuza Ashura Chapter - 143.210
[PS3] Ninja Gaiden 3 - 45.678
[PS3] Devil May Cry HD Collection - 21.098

[JoshuaJSlone]

Hey guys, I made some changes to the Garaph Software Groups page that I thought was just adding a little extra info, but now that it's done I like it a lot more. Rather than just listing the group ID, name, and description; the number of games in the group and their combined sales are also listed. It's also sortable by any of these columns. Makes quickly comparing groups much simpler. Also, the Super Groups are no longer stuck underneath all the other.

 

[Cipherr]

I have definitely been way wrong before, but I just cannot see that type of game taking off no matter how hard they push.

game might be absolutely outstanding but there's a strong wiff of over expectation. I doubt many of the 3DS user base give a shit.

 

[Cheesemeister]

Heh, looks like expectations for Kid Icarus are all over the map.

 

[Salvadora]

Is there a big marketing push in Japan for KI:U?

I've seen a few commercials for it on TV, from the limited amount that I watch.

 

[king zell]

wow capcom is pushing Monster Hunter Tri G again with alot of new TV ads:

[slaughterking]

Makes sense with the new bundle coming out.

 

[Chris1964]

sinobi's wild guess is 200k LTD.

Kid Icarus sales should be interesting, to say the least.

 

[nordique]

This really seems to solidify Monster Hunter's 3DS presence, at least the "main" games

 

[Brazil]

Kid Icarus sales should be interesting, to say the least.

I have a feeling many will be surprised by higher numbers than they expect.

 

[idwl]

Vita price drop or colors first?

[frankie_baby]

Vita price drop or colors first?

I'd say neither they'll probably do a bundle memory card and a game

 

[timetokill]

Okay, and then when that doesn't work? I'm gonna have to guess price drop.

 

[slaughterking]

They have to announce/secure a meaningful future line-up first.

 

[Aostia]

It passed some time since the last time I posted some data from Comgnet's Preorders Ranking page...so...


[3DS] Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance - 179pt
[NDS] Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days - 452pt
[PSP] Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep - 775pt

Could it be the first "bad" title for the 3ds? If KH will flop, it could really hurt 3ds perception at least for a certain target.

 

[slaughterking]

There's absolutely no way that KH 3D will flop. Only if re-coded and 62781^21 Days completely and utterly destroyed the perception of KH games on Nintendo platforms I could see this underperform considerably, but I very much doubt that.

 

[airmangataosenai]

One Piece could end up having good legs after this week. I still hold that with "Best Of" versions, it has a good chance of being a million seller. The first Musou game in 10-some odd years to do so.

 

[electroplankton]

Could it be the first "bad" title for the 3ds? If KH will flop, it could really hurt 3ds perception at least for a certain target.

Maybe it won't reach Birth by Sleep numbers, but it will hardly flop.

 

[FairXchange]

Judging by how well One Piece on the PS3 is doing there, Sony should likely take some cues and apply games in that vein to the Vita.

 

[Aostia]

Maybe it won't reach Birth by Sleep numbers, but it will hardly flop.

There's absolutely no way that KH 3D will flop. Only if re-coded and 62781^21 Days completely and utterly destroyed the perception of KH games on Nintendo platforms I could see this underperform considerably, but I very much doubt that.

So, how we can judge preorders so low?
Okey, they are just comgnet, but we saw that they can at least give us reliable "range".

Imho, KH and Dinasty warriors will be crucial titles for Nintendo and the 3DS perception in terms of male-teenager target, to be able to steal this part of target from Sony.
Way more important than Kid icarus

duckroll said that, if posted in a good way ( so, specific titles of interest, no Google Translation crazyness, only preorders pt and not the sales ranking which is posted every Sunday, comparison between titles of the same brand ) they can be posted, since they can be an useful indication if put in this way, the right one probably.
