I've been saying Arslan will bomb since it was announced.

Shame as the game looks really good. Hopefully the demo and word of mouth extends sales but i'm doubtful.

 

[Busaiku]

The TV series did decently, so it is kind of surprising.

Yeh, i've wanted it to be successful but after following Koei for so long I was easily able to read all the signs that this wouldn't do well.

 

[KillerMan91]

From the beginning Arslan felt like weird pick for Musou game if they wanted to hit the numbers of previous anime/manga spin offs. It doesn't have the historical popularity of Hokuto no Ken or modern popularity of One Piece or Attack on Titan.

 

[sörine]

Predict how much these titles will sell in the month (from Sep 28 to Oct 25):

Yeah really weird choice but perhaps it was part of some multimedia push for the series.
Why TK haven't done a DBZ or Naruto Musou yet? Might as well chuck in Pokemon and Digimon.

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

That's not Ok.

Well never mind then

rip pro evo

can't wait for the inevitable fifa dominance in japan also

 

[ZhugeEX]

Yup. I was just posting global to show how its declined pretty much everywhere.

Meanwhile fifa sells over 15m of each game easily every year.

Has a Fifa game ever top 20m worldwide?

 

[ZhugeEX]

No idea. But I assume so

Fifa 14 sold through 13.5m at retail in its first 6 months on console. That doesn't even include DD or other platforms

 

[jnWake]

Winning Eleven was glorious in the PS1/PS2 days, back when FIFA games were awful. When FIFA games became actually good WE lost all chance to compete because of lack of licenses.

Yes

Just asking.

It'll probably hold what it had this week. Not sure if it will go over 20K

 

[BishopLamont]

Just asking.

with splatoon it's possible

 

[DrWong]

with splatoon it's possible

Compared to last comgnet chart Splatoon it's doing 2x better, so...

 

[BishopLamont]

well i think it's definitely happening then, nintendo benefits the most from holidays

smm should also help wii u hardware sales too, as it's a new social game that isn't like previous mario games

 

[horuhe]

I really can't see Wii U on 20k levels until holidays. Silver Week of course will help, but more in terms of keeping last week's sales rather than increasin its numbers.

 

[Hero of Legend]

What about the preorder chart? Curious where 7th Dragon III is at, think it was at 65pts at last check?

Next two weeks should be fun to watch for ps4 vs wiiu comparison

Next week maybe a very positive wii u result vs probably the lowest ps4 week ever, the week after wiiu torned apart from ps4 post cut peak!

Nexts Media Create thread are gonna be epic.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Why^^?


Won't the next two weeks be kind of predictable?

 

[Aostia]

Won't the next two weeks be kind of predictable?

Silver week effects and price cut consequences are predictable in terms of general direction but are still interesting events in a sales topic imho. Especially with those possible fluctuations

You are very optimistic about that post-drop spike.

 

[Pennywise83]

So, apparently, as holidays are approaching, Nintendo 3DS big-hitters will only be Zelda and Paper Mario & Luigi. The latter should sell well (400-500k) but it will not be the traditional Nintendo million-seller every year had in november / december since 2011. It's likely Nintendo is hoping AC:HHD to pick up some steam, but sales in the past few weeks were not that encouraging (though quite good overall). On the other hand, L5 should release YWB: Yellow Bird (as Chris called it, haha), and Capcom has Monster Hunter.

2016, instead, has already plenty of heavy hitters: MH Stories, YW3, DQXI, likely Pokémon Z.

MHX will be the big million+ seller this holiday. Don't know if a 3rd YWB version will, I mean the current two are at 1.5m combined, so roughly 750k each after 2 and a half months.

Dude... Monster Hunter...

I guess Monster Strike is 1Q 2016 and will miss the holiday season.

Miss opportunity.

Well, I didn't put any estimation there
But it will be fun to look back and see something like 18k vs 5k become 10k vs 50k

I'm relly surpirsed (and I'm saying this since E3, more or less, here in these topics) about how strong the 2016 is shaping up for the 3DS (especially comapred to the second part of the '15, imho).

Plus: I've really bad feelings about Zelda Triforce. It's a shame, because I've always seen "4 sword" as a good fit for handheld.

I knew you were, I was just saying that in general MHX would be the big one.
