Yoshi ANOTHER potential million seller?

Jeez, Nintendo, this isn't even fair any more. You develop platinum/diamond sellers like it's going out of style! Are you even trying?

Well, Layton has legs and hopefully it pushes SquareEnix, Capcom, Sega, and other publishers to make more compelling games.

Who am I kidding, only SE will produce more games out of the bunch.

dq9 isn`t enough ? come on man...

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

when will layton 2 hit the shelves ?

Its not announced (not even just '2007' iirc) but since it was announced around the first one launch...I think it has to be this year, Q3 or maybe Q4. By then, a budget version of the first one would be very welcomed by those that missed the train and want to catch it, new DS adopters or those that start with Layton 2 and become fans.

 

[polluar]

no sinobi trends ?

 

[Hcoregamer00]

No, more brand new IP's like Wonderful World is nice, but we need more.

 

[Neomoto]

they will now slow down a lil bit i think... till zeldah in autumn or late summer...

3rdf partys should really use that time frame :lol

Not really..

English Training 2 (first one was a million seller)
Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2
ASH
Panel de Pon DS online
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2 (yes just announced but will make it some time this year)
Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

And some games we don't know shit about yet

ASH might not make platinum either even though it's "from the creator of Final Fantasy."

ASH will be published by BigN ?

i mean yes for sure they are releasen software - but not big ones like pokemon,nsmb,ac etc.

 

[davepoobond]

Well, it's true. Sales of Crystal Chronicles and Dirge of Cerberus could be added to each other, and they'd still be less than a million. Hell, FF III is a regular FF on a hot system, and it took half a year to reach 1 million.

you have to take into account how many people got a PSP just for this game. I know its a big reason for me to getting a PSP initially cause it was going to come eventually.

If Monster Hunter Portable 2 -- already available on the PS2 can sell a million, why couldn't CC?

and the FFIII thing was probably because it was on a really expensive cart iirc (40 bucks in America?)

 

[ylvis_]

Nice to see Yoshi having legs. And go Layton! I think word to mouth is pushing this title to having great legs.

 

[Neomoto]

:lol

ASH might not make it either even though it's "from the creator of Final Fantasy."

Why are you laughing? It is a 2007 title, no? And afaik ASH is too.

Well :

Yes that true (even though the userbase will grow with or without those titles if we like it or not hehe ) But the post was referring that Nintendo releases will slow down a lot (and named only Zelda for the next number of months).

ASH will be published by BigN ?

i mean yes for sure they are releasen software - but not big ones like pokemon,nsmb,ac etc.

Yes (ASH). Most of the titles are pretty good sellers, but indeed not really the heavy hitters. I'm pretty sure Nintendo will drop one or two bombs at their next show (what next, e3 or is their another oppertunity)?

 

[jj984jj]

Clarified, since the discussion was about potential platinum sellers.

No it wasn't (at least not my post or the original post).

Oh lol, seems like you got me By the way the post was worded, I didn't realise it was about that. Oh well..

 

[jesusraz]

Once the price gets slashed to 400 yen, yes, absolutely.

Good to see you're thinking as positively as I am!

[verplant]

What were the PS3 HW numbers for that week?

We'll see in about 30 hours... but it probably will be 20k-30k.

 

[chibcicylist]

No sinobi numbers yet?

(or are they the same with the famitsu numbers?)

 

[ethelred]

Good to see you're thinking as positively as I am!

There was enough wiggle room to interpret my statement as positive? I'll have to try harder next time.

 

[Vinnk]

Ok, I plan to do a "Vinnk's Village" post to coincide with the hardware numbers coming tomorrow. I will visit the stores in my town tonight. Are there any games you specifically want me to check the availability for? I will be currently looking for the hardware:

DL lite
Wii
PS3? (is it worth getting the numbers of units? In general it has a status of "available")

 

[jj984jj]

sinobi posts the Famitsu numbers.

So heroes of mana went UP its second week. Maybe it'll break 100k. Might have legs.

 

[PantherLotus]

why are we still in the old thread?

 

[jj984jj]

why are we still in the old thread?

We are every week until MC charts are released.

 

[Thraktor]

Because the software numbers necessary to create the new one haven't been released yet?

Edit: On-topic, though, is Tiger Woods '07 for Wii scheduled to be released in Japan any time soon? It seems to be doing very well in NA and Europe, and if I'm not mistaken golf is rather popular among corporate types in Japan. I'm not expecting anything in the league of chart-topping success, but do people expect it to get decent sales (for a western-developed title) over there?

 

[Vinnk]

why are we still in the old thread?

I guess because the new thread isn't up yet and since the NPD blowout we have become even more addicted to sales threads.

Layton?

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Why are you laughing? It is a 2007 title, no?

I don't think the first Ouendan came anywhere near a million (even though it deserved to).

 

[Galactic Fork]

ahhahahh

Sure, laugh now, but just you wait ti... nevermind, I stopped caring.

 

[tanasten]

Is Wii overdemand dying officially?

 

[schuelma]

Is Wii overdemand dying officially?

Uhh no..its called Nintendo withholding stock for April

 

[Jokeropia]

Is Wii overdemand dying officially?

Considering that it went up this week (according to Famitsu, anyway) with no significant releases, it's pretty simple to deduce that it's limited by supply.

 

[Vinnk]

Layton?

Ok. I'll add layton to the list of things to check for.

 

[PantherLotus]

If cheesey doesn't post the new week soon, I say we make somebody else do it.

 

[splattergnome]

If cheesey doesn't post the new week soon, I say we make somebody else do it.

That would only work if Cheesemeister had precognitive abilities, which I rather doubt, since in that case he'd entertain us with next year's Media Create data instead.

 

[Fredescu]

If cheesey doesn't post the new week soon, I say we make somebody else do it.

It's not due for another two hours right?

 

[Cheesemeister]

Cool, I'm a pre-cog! :lol

We've got roughly 90 minutes to go.

 

[Grampa Simpson]

Wow really? They used to be out much earlier. Why does it keep getting later?

Well ****. You do everything else so ****ing well, you telling me you can't read the god-forsaken future? WHAT GOOD ARE YOU?

 

[AniHawk]

I could give you the numbers if you want.

I have lots of numbers.

[Mar]

I kept wondering to myself why everyone was talking about new MC numbers already. Then I realised what day of the week it was.

This week has flown by for me. One of the worst weeks in my life. Here's to some good times on GAF with sales-age.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Shit. I'm supposed to start studying for a test in a few minutes, but it'll be hard to concentrate . Damn I need the numbers now. I'm pathetic:lol

 

[Galactic Fork]

DST magically pushed the space time continuum forward in the United States.

Weird. I could have sworn we used to get them at around 6 EST. But looking back at the beginning of last year, seems those were being listed between 8 and 10. Stupid memory.

And why do my searches all stop at the beginning of 2006?

 

[Vinnk]

Shit. I'm supposed to start studying for a test in a few minutes, but it'll be hard to concentrate . Damn I need the numbers now. I'm pathetic:lol

It's like Christmas every week..
