I can agree with this. Street Fight X Tekken Vita will be way too low for any meaningful results

As usual, suggest which ones to predict or others that aren't on this list.

Street Fight X Tekken Vita will be way too low for any meaningful results

Right, on the other hand it would be somehow interesting to know how will it perform after Persona's decent sales, it could make it into top 10 for all I know.

I really hope Little Battlers does well. It looks fantastic and tri-Ace hasn't had a semi-successful game for almost three years.

 

[nordique]

How does Bravely Default, AKB48+ME and Project X Zero look like they will perform?

Are we looking at potential or certain 100k+ sellers there?

Bravely default is the one I'd not be so sure of though I think at the very least it should make it passed that mark in the end, project I'm thinking should finish close to 300k

Level 5 is pushing it pretty hard with the anime and multiple games, so I could definitely see the PSP version doing fairly well.

 

[metalslimer]

Little Battlers W is the biggest Vita game left in the year isn't it?

I think the AKB game is bigger, at least judging by how its predecessors performed on PSP. Yes, really.

It's the Vita version. After how UMVC3 sold on the system, forget top 10, top 20 or maybe even top 30.

3DS game isn't at all related to the PSP ones. I don't think AKB Mii Edition is something any audience really wants.

Yeh, those Miis are scary. !

Also, my impression is that AKB's target demographic is much more likely to buy the Vita version than LBX's is.

RE 6 will do over a million on ps3....

 

[Sammy Samusu]

RE 6 will do over a million on ps3....

In our dreams.

 

[The Mana Legend]

RE 6 will do over a million on ps3....

It'll probably only do around 300k at most opening week and will probably not break the million barrier.

 

[Celine]

In Cvx_Freak dreams.

Fixed.

 

[frankie_baby]

I'd be shocked if the vita version cracks 30k

 

[frankie_baby]

RE 6 will do over a million on ps3....

It'll have a huge first week but won't have traditional RE style legs, I'd say 550k first week, only 700k lifetime

 

[metalslimer]

I'd be shocked if the vita version cracks 30k

Unless the game itself is a huge bust that seems too low. I'm expecting more of a 60-40 split

RE 6 will do over a million on ps3....

LOL, maybe after the 5th rerelease

 

[Pranay]

I was saying overall it will do 1 mil on PS3 not first week.

Well so according to you all it wont sell more One Piece which did 600k + first week ?

I expect 650k - 700k sales for RE6 First week<_<

isnt it the most anticipated game in Japan ?

Correct me if am wrong

I can't see either version doing well, 30k tops for vita 100k ish for PSP I reckon most people will wait for the inevitable souped up 3ds version

Resident Evil 5 PS3 only sold like 300,000 its first week in Japan. I don't see it selling more than that its first week. And console gaming is weaker now that the handheld market has almost completely taken over in Japan, so it won't have legs.

Resident Evil hasn't be affected by that, otherwise ORC would've easily flopped.

I'm not too knowledgeable about Little Battlers. Is this the next mainline title or is this a remix/remaster?

 

[The Mana Legend]

It sold 250,000 its first week and had terrible legs. So yeah, it was affected by that. Not to mention that ORC's awful reception could hurt a bit of RE6's sales as well.

You don't think RE6 will easily outdo that in its first week?

 

[The Mana Legend]

I think it will do 300k in its first week but it won't have the legs of RE5. But I don't think its legs will be as terrible as ORC's. It won't sell 1 million lifetime in Japan though.

Same as Dragon Dogma then hmmm

 

[The Mana Legend]

Same as Dragon Dogma then hmmm

Pretty much. Decent first week, mediocre lifetime.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

RE6 will have a much bigger opening than RE5, but 1M LTD is still not likely. I'd say somewhere between 700-800k.

 

[jj984jj]

Pretty much. Decent first week, mediocre lifetime.

We'll see I guess. I think it'll do better than RE5 first week.

 

[Lord_Byron28]

RE:ORC did 268K on both platforms first week. It was a spinoff that was of poor quality and didn't appeal to the japanese market. I think 300K first week would be dismal. I don't think it will hit 1 million either but I think you're lowballing it. The only reasons I see it massively underperforming is franchise fatigue, the last few entries spinoff and mainline have been dissapointing, and PS3 winding down. With that said I think all signs point to it having strong sales. It will be a lot more frontloaded because the PS3 is winding down and Japanese RE fans already own a PS3 compared to RE5 where a lot had yet to make the jump.

even if that's the case, it doesn't mean it will do 1 million in Japan on PS3.

 

[Nekki]

I'm expecting 450k-550k FW. I don't have a true idea of how anticipated this game is in Japan though.

Resident Evil 6 being more anticipated than One Piece Musou isn't something given.

 

[slaughterking]

I'm not too knowledgeable about Little Battlers. Is this the next mainline title or is this a remix/remaster?

It's the sequel. I wonder if people in Japan are also confused by Level 5's re-releases and naming conventions.

 

[donny2112]

Resident Evil 5 PS3 only sold like 300,000 its first week in Japan.

And being a core series released on the same platform later in the generation, it'll probably be more frontloaded than its predecessor. May still sell the same amount in the end (i.e. shorter legs), but more front-loaded than RE5 seems a reasonable expectation.

 

[StreetsAhead]

RE Bravely Default, I've noticed full sized posters about the game/characters up in even some of the smaller shops now.

The PS3 version will also pick up some of the 360 sales as well. There's no way the 360 version sells 125k again. A good chunk of that will move to PS3 - along with a more front-loaded start and picking up some of the customers from the many budget/rereleases, the PS3 version should start a good deal better than PS3 RE5.
