The Last of Us (this week biggest release! not sure about this one)

http://www.true-gaming.net/home/159085/

Sayonara Umihara Kawase for the 3DS

http://www.true-gaming.net/home/159076/

More releases for the week

http://www.true-gaming.net/home/159068/

The Last of Us being around 5100 yen is cheap, right? Or is that your usual cost for a game there?

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Yeah I think I have to accept that Square Enix just isn't interested in making 3DS titles (more so if you count worldwide) anymore. Bravely Default was the outlier, and I'm not surprised if they're porting it to mobile. They do seem interested in releasing titles for Vita since it might be easier to have a parallel development with PS3. Bummer, but that's just the way it is.

Please explain, lol.

 

[vareon]

Please explain, lol.

Oh, I'm just extrapolating from the FFX/2 HD situation and their recent comment about the Vita. Seems like if they were already doing a PS3 version, having a Vita version is a better investment than making a whole new 3DS game.

 

[DaBoss]

Please explain, lol.

It's easy to port between the two as we've seen with the many PS3/Vita games.

Did I miss something? Or are you talking about Nomura? He was specifically asked about Vita, that interview means nothing, unless you are a Mobile fan.

What Square Enix Vita games are there? Glancing at Wikipedia:

Army Corps of Hell
Lord of Apocalypse
Diffusion Million Authur
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy X-2​

The first two were early, the second being multiplatform with PSP. The third is a port from iOS. The last two are multiplatform with PS3.
Is there anything else to suggest that Square Enix has interest in the platform aside from ports?

[Alrus]

Interesting week coming up, with Toukiden, New Etrian Odyssey, Gundam and Digimon. Excited to see how those perform.

 

[Frost_Ace]

[3DS] Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millenium Girl <RPG>

Is this the remake of the second one? Or a new game entirely?

 

[Thorgal]

[PS3] The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (PlayStation3 the Best) <RPG> (Bethesda Softworks) (¥2.940)

That seems really cheap if its the vanilla eddition.

 

[slaughterking]

It's the remake of the first game.

 

[Frost_Ace]

It's the remake of the first game.

Oh,

thought it was already out in jap for some reason.

They have Mario Party 9 at 3,114,248 units...? That number must be mixed up with something else.

haha

Time to send Dengeki my nth e-mail asking if there's maybe something wrong. Looking at past sales, Wii Sports Resort is the game closest to that LTD.

Speaking of Dengeki, the new GAF layout limits the

 block dynamically instead of a fixed size, [URL="http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=60252985&postcount=545"]so you can usually see more stuff in it[/URL] without having to scroll. On the other hand, the font is bigger now, eating more space.

 

[michaelius]

Anyone knows if PSO2 pack2 retail version on 17.06 is pc game with code that works in pc and vita versions or there are separate skus ?

Font size is a problem again. I'll see if it's possible to put software information into code without having to scroll.

I think The last of us is gonna score high on the sales thread this week .

totally deserved.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Is Digimon 3DS in a good position? Is it facing any high profile releases in the same week or immediately after?

 

[Sammy Samusu]

MH4 sold out again.

http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B005MNP140/

 

[Nibel]

Monster Hunter seems popular in Japan

Yeah, I expect a 100k+ opening, which would be great and very well deserved. Great game.

 

[C.T.]

MH4 sold out again.

http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B005MNP140/

It's a little bit misleading to call it sold-out when it is not on sales yet IMO. Amazon accept preorders again would be more accurate.

 

[faridmon]

I just hope to god they don't ship a low shipment again for a freaking Monster Hunter.

 

[Mario007]

I just hope to god they don't ship a low shipment again for a freaking Monster Hunter.

If you have these fears then I'd say you're better off pre-ordering it now, just to be safe.

 

[jj984jj]

It's going to tank. They should have just made a new one.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Well Little Battlers did REALLY well for being a 3rd release of a PSP game on 3DS.

This isn't being pushed with cross media promotion like those games, you aren't playing as the characters from a show.

 

[pharmboy044]

Will this weeks numbers include The Last of Us?

 

[slaughterking]

Yes.

 

[pharmboy044]

Yes.

Thanks.
I would love to see it over 100K.

 

[Thorgal]

Last of us prediction time.
how much for the first week?

i say it will do 125.000 first week.

 

[michaelius]

I'll bet on 105K

 

[pharmboy044]

I'm guessing around 115K.

 

[Bruno MB]

Does anybody know if New Super Luigi U is available via download card?

 

[SmokyDave]

Last of us prediction time.

103,576 is my guess.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

110 000

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Good question. It's been sold out down here in Nagasaki all week. Pretty much impossible to find a copy of it in stores.

I'm gonna run with 115,000.

 

[FreedomFighter]

Well the Vita at least has proven it's a viable platform for niche and semi-niche software. The Wii U can't even claim that.

The Wii U hasn't really had an software though.

Wait until the second half of the year. I'm sure Wii U software sales will easily best Vita software sales, no problem.

 

[RurouniZel]

new releases {2013.06.27}
[WIU] Injustice: Gods Among Us <FTG> (Warner Entertainment Japan) (¥7.280)
[WIU] F1 Race Stars: Powered Up Edition <RCE> (Codemasters) (¥7.140)

Nintendo can't wait for this month to finally end.

 

[shinra-bansho]

The Last of Us did 117K (MC).

Famitsu doesn't seem to have been updated yet?

 

[gembel]

best sales for SCE western new IP?
