[Wii] Dragon Quest X - 326,000
[3DS] New Super Mario Bros. 2 - 765,000
[3DS] Demon Training/ONI Training - 68,000

I think that Demon training will flop big time

Demon Training will sell less than expected and the thread will be full of "bomba lol", then in 3 years time someone will spot a cumulative retail + digital total at the bottom of an investors meeting slide and we'll all be amazed

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

I think Brain Training will truck along even if it fails to impress initially. Hasn't Nintendogs done quite well for itself despite not matching previous entries' sales?

I THINK a lot of people know the Wii U DQX is coming and are betting that fans will wait for that as the definitive version. I'm betting fans won't wait, I'm betting they buy BOTH versions.

There aren't many blogs with reports for Saturday first day sales. The general impression at retail is NSMB2>>>Oni Training with high sellthrough for 3DS LL.


Maybe the deadline must change to the time Famitsu will give early numbers at Monday or Tuesday. Predictions made after then will have the advantage to know first week sales.

Anecdotal, but regarding HW the Bic Camera where I live (Nagoya) sold out of White 3DS LL's on Sunday night. I took a picture of the "white is sold out" sign they posted.
They still had Silver and Red available.

I pre-ordered my White LL (and nsmb2) and picked it up on release day from Bic.

I didn't get a chance to check out Sofmap as they close earlier than Bic...The small Geo near me had all 3 colors in stock.

I hope we get some early HW/SW numbers!

I am hoping DQX does better than we all think. Though I am going to go with 650k for DQX.

Would be nice if it gave the Wii a surprise mini-push and renaissance but it does not seem so.

I imagine anyone that doesn't own a Wii by now and wants DQX might just wait on the Wii U version. Also holy shit but Dragon Quext X is the last Wii release scheduled. Sad what happened to that system in Japan. In retrospect's Dragona's fucked chart was right.

I wonder why we haven't seen even a single glimpse of the Wii U version of DQX. Are they afraid that no one will buy the Wii version if they show it? Does it exist?

I can't wait to see what sorcery Level 5 cooks up for DQXI. They always push any hardware platform to the very bleeding edge.

Seems to make sense to only focus on the version coming out shortly. There will be plenty of time to show off the Wii U version.

Wow...is it really the last Wii release scheduled in Japan?

It is sad when considering what its potential could have been. But it is what it is. Hopefully Japanese gamers are not turned off the Wii brand. Luckily Nintendo is still very strong there, especially with the 3DS.

Nice to see that White may be doing the best out of the 3DS LL colors. Hope it convinces NoA to release it faster x_x

Will there just be total numbers or numbers for every color? I'm new to this :p

Total. Although we did get a color number a while later last year when Red came out.

Question: Has any console ever had it's last release before it's successor even came out?
Click to expand...
Nope. The closest was Gamecube, which had it's final game release the same day as it's successor (Wii). Even "failed" systems like Sega Mark III, MegaDrive, N64 or Xbox had releases after their successors released.

That said, there's still probably a couple more Wii releases in the pipeline, like PES Playmaker 2013, Rodea the Sky Soldier, Epic Mickey 2 or the two Namco Bandai releases for the fiscal year.

Do you think that DQX will push some Wii hardware sales in Japan? Like many of you, I'd like to see the Wii U version of DQX.

There is a hardware bundle, so a bump will happen. But i guess you mean in the long run, i dont think this will happen.

It was only released online in Japan. The last sales numbers we have for a GameCube game seem to be from July 2006, so from that perspective, the last "sales ranked" GameCube game came out prior to Wii's release.

New releases yes, but a budget reprint of Gotcha Force ranked in 2007 iirc.

Sort of.
The last cartridge for PcEngine came out a week before the PC-FX launch.
The last CD-rom for the "expansione" came out in 1997 (ironically the last PC-FX game came out just one year after).

Worldwide the better example would be Atari with the 7800 -> Jaguar "transition".
