Vinnk?

Vinnk. Don't think he posts very often, but it's great when he does.



Hi, I'd like to buy a copy of "Yoo Ky Watch."

Yep! Vinnk.

I always remember people for their avatars, which is not very useful with people changing them every time...

 

[Kandinsky]

I hope to God you're being sarcastic. Japan absolutely need a healthy console in Japan. It's not going to be the Wii U and it's definitely not going to be the One. A console selling 13k is far from healthy, and we need the PS4 to start at least selling 20k per week.

I'm not, and thats absolutely healthy considering its lineup, go PS4!.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Golden week cannot come soon enough for hardware sales. You think people are refraining from buying due to the upcomin event?

Maybe there is a heatwave, someone should check the pokemon convention to see if people are leaving their houses.

 

[cafemomo]

Because it seems good videpgames are about to die

But Curtain Call is coming tommorow

 

[sphinx]

when are we getting the new thread?

 

[test_account]

Yep! Vinnk.

Ah, i didnt see that L Thammy had already mentioned his name Its been a while since i've seen Vinnk posted something.

 

[Hero of Legend]

I think it was about the gay marriage or gays in general in tomodachi life.

Is it a perm?

 

[allan-bh]

when are we getting the new thread?

In about 15 minutes.

 

[sphinx]

In about 15 minutes.

thanks, whatever we post here from now on is "Week 16" material so I am going to wait.

Could be worse. I always get confused and think DCharlie and SmokyDave are the same guy. Not sure why that happens.

 

[L~A]

Youkai Watch is the only game that matters!

Oh, and Ace Attorney 1-2-3 did somewhat decently.

 

[Shengar]

Is it a perm?

Unless it's a capital one or he have done the same in the past, it'll just temporary I think.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Screw the 2DS - just make the XL cheaper and/or introduce a new premium model. 3DS games like Mario Golf still look amazing, if they could somehow upres the current 3DS games on the new model i would be there day 1. And some more ram to let have more than one game in stand-by mode, as well as GBA/Snes VC support.

btw. Congrats Level 5.

Being able to multitask games on handheld would be a megaton feature. Was expecting Vita to do it, but it seems it was too early. Being sleek, fast and practical is something that 3DS is missing and this has severe implications when it comes to marketing. They need to adress this asap be it with a 3DS revision or with the new handheld.

 

[Busaiku]

3DS and Vita could use a price drop.

They should be 15000-16000Y at most.

3DS is 15000.

 

[Frillen]

Ah, there you are. I missed you last week, I was looking forward to seeing you celebrate the Vita taking the number one spot.

Sorry bud, Easter stole my time and the beautiful mountains we have here in Norway

I'm not, and thats absolutely healthy considering its lineup, go PS4!.

Well we have to agree to disagree, as I fail to see anything positive about 13k.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Oh that's last weeks. My bad.

Have I got my timezones wrong?

Yes - being able to juggle games around and having like a couple of them ready to be continued at any time would be an amazing feature. Wondering why it isnt possible yet...especially when they could work with savestates as emulators do it.

3DS is 15000.

No one cares about the regular 3DS though - XL at 15K and we are talking.

 

[Ty4on]

3DS - 24044
Vita - 22865

Why was it 17k sans Vita TV in the other? Do they just guess the Vita number
Edit: Last week results.

 

[Road]

Famitsu hasn't updated yet. =|

Impressively low numbers all round.

 

[Jamix012]

So uh, what's the story on the PS4 rise? I'm somewhat impressed. Obviously raw numbers-wise it's bad, but its certainly higher than I thought. Did FF XIV release digitally or something?

Edit: Oooh FF14 did release physically. I see. I take it back, that's not a bump at all.

FFXIV came out retail AND digital.

 

[SmokyDave]

Sorry bud, Easter stole my time and the beautiful mountains we have here in Norway

Ah, man. I'm jealous.

Speaking of beautiful views:

 

[sörine]

Everything bombed.

I expect FFXIV PS4 to turn out like DQX Wii U. Awful sales at retail but okay digital and eventually attracting about half the subscribers away from it's predecessor.

 

[JoeM86]

Jesus, what is going on with Japan at the moment? Things have been dire practically all year so far.

 

[jeremy1456]

FFXIV came out retail AND digital.

Ouch. That rise is not impressive at all in that case.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Everything bombed.

Was there a free upgrade programme for DQX though?

Is it a free upgrade or a Ubi/Activision type system?

I recall it being free.

 

[GhostTrick]

I fail to see how Japanese market being low is a beautiful view, but whatever.

[Lexxism]

Wow everything are below 20k

 

[JoeM86]

Wow everything are below 20k

3DS isabove if you count both models.

 

[Guymelef]

So with the taxes rises Japan doesn't think to buy consoles anymore?

 

[sörine]

Was there a free upgrade programme for DQX though?I recall it being free.

There was a 50% off upgrade program for DQX. eShop sales were said to be 2:1 retail, since FFXIV is completely free it may do even better.

 

[JoeM86]

Still bad numbers.

Never said it wasn't.

 

[zroid]

Japan hates all games not called Yokai Watch apparently.

 

[L~A]

Nope, there was a discount on the eShop (50% off or less, iirc), but it wasnt free.

 

[Lexxism]

Isnt it below 20k in mc?

 

[L Thammy]

They already have PS3s.

 

[SmokyDave]

I fail to see how Japanese market being low is a beautiful view, but whatever.

The percentages hide the raw numbers, neatly skipping the 'low' bit and providing a beautiful view.

Regardless, some of the Japanese market is low. I'm sure mobile is doing just fine.

 

[mclem]

To be fair, that's percentages. There's nothing there suggesting anything other than relative scale. In and of itself, there's no implications of unpleasantness in there.

 

[SaintMadeOfPlaster]

Famitsu why are you taking so long?

 

[Kysen]

People in the other thread saying WiiU will reach 15mil+, not a chance.

[allan-bh]

Yes, 19,943.

 

[Shengar]

Japan hates all games not on mobile apparently.

Fi-

Holy fucking shit Japan.
