Don't worry friend, it will be above 300k, I'm sure.
Is that because there is less software being released for the 3DS though, or is it the same amount of software but they are all just selling much less on the 3DS?

forget NPD threads, is there a hidden NeoGAF rule that states "all Bayonetta 2 threads must immediately turn into shit"

When there is game A and people want game A on platform B, they make rampant speculation or wish for such to happen. When game A gets announced for platform C, years of hope and dreams are instantly crushed and they are hit with the comprehension that they will have to buy platform C to play game A. In such occasions people sometimes rage over the internet, beg for a way out (port begging) or acknowledge their disappointment and simply ignore the title. This is not something exclusive to Neogaf.

This doesn't make any sense, they are getting paid regardless of how much it sells.
Namco developed a F2P Wii Sports, I don't see why Atlus would refuse to develop SMTxFE.
No what? I don't get what you are trying to say here.
People complain WiiU has no games, but when it does get games they bitch about it.
The WiiU may be a ded console, but it's a ded console withh great games.

Ok this bump is genuinely surprising me for the Wii U. Its a much bigger bump than other holiday seasons for other systems. Hell, the only better Week 49 that the Gamecube ever had was a 52,806 in it's launch year.
I really didn't expect to see a DQX expansiony thing be a system seller given how little the original did for the Wii U, but I guess this version releasing day in date with the Wii one changes the whole equation.
I think those numbers do show honest to goodness momentum of each new bump feeding some off the old bumps, like Mario and the price drops and holidays. It's too bad that it seems like Nintendo will give that momentum plenty of time to die off before the next big release after the holidays.

Maybe 500k is an overstatement, but we have to put in mind what kind of demographic the anime have. If the prequisite condition is met (GGO annmounced for sping anime), but the game hardly break 300k sales, then I gladly eat crow.
It can't be dead yet until I get my FEU

Are there any statistics on this?
I hope Nintendo expedites the retail release of Wii sports club for January. They need it to sustain sales and interest.
Fire Emblem U?
Man, all i want on the WiiU is a Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles.
Hell if they redid the GC version I'd be content with that.
It's a shame Squeenix threw that subseries down the gutter.
But I'll blame it on Reggie and Iwata

DQX Wii still not in stock, maybe Square Enix is trying to avoid server congestion? They did have some problems a few days ago due to high traffic.

I'd rather FE not go down with that ship, the series was already in trouble before Awakening came out.

That game is going to be an insane seller...
I hope that mean the game will be localized somewhere in the future

While I think it will be closer to 250k, I do hope you're right for the Wii U's sake.

The Vita TV is still an interesting option once the PS4 launches. Now it is just weird but when the PS4 hits, it is a PS4 extender. Though I am not sure that is much of a thing in Japan. I still think it could be great for gaming parents with kids.
Considering my post was lost in the last MC thread due to sudden Wii U rise, I am going ask over here again.
If Puzzle and Dragon succedd, do we have chance seeing more mobile franchise being develop into proper game for handheld?
And what other mobile IP which is famous here other than Bahamut(if I am not mistaken), Sega's conquest thing, and Puzzle Dora in Japan that had huge followers?(JP Gaf help me. T_T)

More like you need a game to play once DQX's trial run ends and you have to pay for a subscription. =P
Ummm. Fantasy Life and Youkai Watch is their next fetish I can guarantee lol.
Is their actual demographic older and different than the intended one?
lol I know but I feel it just have to be asked
L5 disgracing the Kirino name with their fetish bait.

Why the hate for l5? Weren't they pretty good devs?
Its just Gundam fans who feel that Hino betrayed them.

Since it seems like there's some population of Dragon Quest fans on the Wii U, do you think there's any kind of RPG they might be interesting in that Nintendo could get on the system? Maybe they might buy X whenever that releases?....
In addition to Xeno, Nintendo also has Last Story, Pandora's Tower, Mother/Earthbound (
lol it's never gonna happen
I'm personally hoping we will see a Last Story II
I can't remember but isn't Zangeki no Regienliev Nintendo's IP? And is Earth Seeker Ninten IP?

I don't think they've ever put Advance Wars or Golden Sun on consoles yet. Well, I guess there's Battalion Wars as the Advance Wars equivalent. I could see Paper Mario, or Last Story 2, but the latter has to have Sakaguchi on board for a Wii U title. Honestly, I felt like the Last Story was screaming to be on more powerful hardware, so even an enhanced port of that on Wii U would probably benefit the game. However, considering how the first one barely even got localized in the US (thanks XSEED!), I'm not sure how much they'd be interested in a rerelease.
Zangeki is Sanlots I think, and Earth Seeker had not nintendo. (I didn't even think they published it)
Zangeki no Reginleiv is a straight up action game, usually compared to Earth Defense Force. Pandora's Tower is more of an adventure game but I guess you could call it an RPG. Dunno who published Earth Seeker, pretty sure it's not Nintendo, they don't have control.
Suppadoopa, Sandlot is the developer of Zangeki. Nintendo is the publisher.
