[Alexios]

Holy crap @ DQ/3DS.

DD did well.

Hope they're satisfied with Guild 01 but it seems too low. eShop releases please.

 

[shinra-bansho]

3DS is to be expected, but why the random PSV increase?

 

[BD1]

I said wow.

(Laughs)

 

[Salvadora]

Big bump for 3DS hardware, Wonder what sort of legs DQM will have with Pokemon coming out so soon.

05./00. [3DS] Guild01 (Level 5) - 14,790 / NEW

Poor Guild01 never had a chance, at least it did better than Girls RPG: Cinderella Life.

 

[cw_sasuke]

FE + 400K ...yes !!!

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

First time for MH3G outside the top 10?

 

[Ydahs]

Daaamn

Any word on sell-through amount for DQ?

 

[jrDev]

I said wow.

.

 

[Jackano]

Hail to the king, DQ. It's a remake, right?

3DS is to be expected, but why the random PSV increase?

E3 announcements anticipation. Erff, wait?

 

[jj984jj]

Didn't think 3DS would end up back over 100k.

I'm happy Dragon's Dogma is doing well too.

 

[RPGamer92]

3DS is to be expected, but why the random PSV increase?

Persona 4G comes out next week

 

[Owzers]

if only Japan could get that Assassin's Creed spin-off Vita bundle this fall...

 

[JakkuFurosu]

Vita saved

 

[BlazingDarkness]

good lawd, dat 3ds bump

 

[Santiako]

Repost from the old thread:
Dragon's Dogma selling a lot more than I expected, the game is fantastic, well deserved.

 

[Celine]

And some gaffers were expectin 500K/600K LTD for DQM remake deheheh.

 

[MoeB]

Wario won't be happy about this.

 

[tanooki141]

Dragon Quest is so powerful. I think 3DS's success in Japan is disillusioning them to the reality of its perception in the West.

 

[Madrugador]

Wow @ Dragon Quest Monsters.

I still have the original game. Glad to see it's doing well.

 

[Levyne]

I want to be one of the 400,000 people enjoying Fire Emblem.

Dragon's Dogma holding strong

 

[Galang]

Fire emblem's sales and legs are really impressive.

 

[InsaneZero]

Dragon Quest is so powerful. I think 3DS's success in Japan is disillusioning them to the reality of its perception in the West.

Nintendo is very well aware of the 3DS's issues in the West, although we don't really know what they plan to do about it.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

well damn that DQ is still alive in Japan

 

[MikeE21286]

holy DQM

 

[tanooki141]

Nintendo is very well aware of the 3DS's issues in the West, although we don't really know what they plan to do about it.

Thats really the problem I guess. I'm hoping for firm release dates for quality software at the presentation tonight.

 

[Salvadora]

Nintendo is very well aware of the 3DS's issues in the West, although we don't really know what they plan to do about it.

NSMB2 was in reaction to that I think.

 

[Baconsammy]

Dragon Quest is so powerful. I think 3DS's success in Japan is disillusioning them to the reality of its perception in the West.

Hey now, some bands live long successful lives just by being big in Japan. Or Belgium.

 

[Hammer24]

Very nice 3DS bump.

 

[tanooki141]

NSMB2 was in reaction to that I think.

As a huge Nintendo fan even I don't think that looks interesting. Two NSMB games within a few months!? Its just terrible.

Unfortunately it will sell millions

 

[Bullza2o]

Dragon Quest is such a monster.

 

[kswiston]

Fire emblem had its largest drop in a few weeks despite the huge bump in 3DS sales. I guess people didn't want to buy 2 rpgs at the same time.

 

[udivision]

Dragon Quest is such a monster.

oh ho ho!

Busy, busy, busy, busy.

 

[ColtraineGF]

01./00. [3DS] Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry no Wonderland 3D (Square Enix) - 513,183 / NEW

Very nice, very nice. Looking forward to playing this if/when it comes over.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Guild01 DOA? ;\

Nice to see Dragon's Dogma still doing well.

 

[pulga]

3DS bringing dat sales. Interesting that the two biggest openers for 3DS are third party games.

 

[EloquentM]

Print That money Nintendo. Give SE a share.

 

[Defuser]

Goddamn @ DQ. Sony wished to be making that kind of handheld sales if they want to hit that Vita quota

 

[Diablos54]

A remake of a spinoff sells over 500k in it's first week? DQ is still king, bow down to the king!

And Vita getting that P4 pre-bump. Should break 20k next week!

 

[Nilaul]

Mortius?

 

[watershed]

I'm glad DD is continuing to sell well. Very nice opening for DQ, I hope it gets localized quickly, it will fill my DQ fix until DQ XII gets announced for the 3ds (I hope).

Also where's the visual hardware chart?

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

Someone put the Vita out of its misery.

 

[grimshawish]

Nintendo is very well aware of the 3DS's issues in the West, although we don't really know what they plan to do about it.

I think their waiting to be honest. Japan is doing well and to be fair in the West (generally) there doing decent enough.

Their waiting for the Yen to be more preferable. Saw nothing at E3 that meant they couldn't have pushed the 3DS more though at the main conference.

Generally the Western market has bigger problems than just handhelds. No country is in great shape financially.

As a huge Nintendo fan even I don't think that looks interesting. Two NSMB games within a few months!? Its just terrible.

Unfortunately it will sell millions

Looks poor, I agree - its like an unlock at the end of a normal game :/
Paper Mario however looks amazing! Theres a sprinkle of games; hopefully we see more tonight/today (wherever you are) at the 3DS show.

 

[Alrus]

Dragon Quest and Nintendo handhelds seem to be a match made in heaven.

 

[Baconsammy]

Print That money Nintendo. Give SE a share.

They're not printing money until the 3DS starts selling in the rest of the world. Keep the money, Nintendo. You need it.

Someone put the Vita out of its misery.

Kinda felt like Sony gave it a quiet (a very quiet) burial at E3. Very respectful.

 

[Salvadora]

Dragon Quest and Nintendo handhelds seem to be a match made in heaven.

With the added bonus of low development costs.

 

[Alrus]

Daaamn

Any word on sell-through amount for DQ?

Probably really high going by other DQM games sell-through. We'll know tomorrow.

if only Japan could get that Assassin's Creed spin-off Vita bundle this fall...

What would an AC bundle achieve in Japan?

And some gaffers were expectin 500K/600K LTD for DQM remake deheheh.

Those people were obviously crazy.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Hail to the king, DQ. It's a remake, right?

Of a fantastic game.

But with monster size restrictions.
