what is genius sonority doing anyway...duckroll said:ArtePiazza, Genius Sonority, Artoon, Matrix, h.a.n.d., <insert lesser known developer here>.
There are always candidates. DQ is bigger than any single developer, and no one would have guessed Level 5 would be developing DQ games before they were chosen anyway.

i dont think fist of the north star is as popular as gundam... but then again fist of the north star pachinko sold over 1 million copies on the ps2...distantmantra said::lol Koei's expecations for that title are ridiculous. I figure it will do 250k at the very most.

You have to release games to need retail dates ::smuglook.gif::schuelma said:bttb said it was the 14th, but I imagine a retailer meeting would have actually produced retail dates, so who knows.

They actually haven't released a single console game since 2007, and nothing at all since 2008 (100 Classic Book Collection). Which is rather odd. They usually released a console title every other year, and two console titles in 2007 alone.farnham said:what is genius sonority doing anyway...
they did not make any pokemon colloseum games on the Wii (battle revolution is not a fullblown RPG like collosseum or XD)

But the issue isn't as clear cut as you make it out to be. KH is further ahead in the milking with what we can see now a stable lower size of repeated franchise buyers, while I11 is only at its second entry which comes in two versions to boost the sales some more through double dippings. I11 2 already surpasses all the post KH2 releases, but KH2 itself is still far ahead (especially when including its case of double dipping, Final Mix+) and we don't know what kind of sales a KH3 would do. So the difference boils down to front loaded versus legs which I consequently touched upon in my post. I still don't see where's the spin.selig said:But saying that you cant compare a franchise because of it being front loaded while the other one depends on its legs, was just a silly way to avoid a clear answer.
That would make for a great sales age thread were everyone keeps saying "we will see". :lolselig said:the smartest answer would have been "we´ll see".
I'm talking about US sales, via the NPD leak from last January. The number can't be that off considering Square Enix had only shipped 720k to NA by the end of March 2009. Indeed, the NPD number is likely overating its sales as even Square Enix doesn't believe it sold that much.donny2112 said:If you're talking about Japanese sales, I think you got that number reversed. If you're talking about U.S. sales, I thought SE showed more NA sales for the game than that.
Yeah, and HOLY FUCKING SHIT at PSP.schuelma said:Nice start to 2010 for PS3.
wsippel said:Or they have been shut down... :lol
Well, it seems they're working on some project since 2008, and I guess it won't be a Nintendo published title. If it wasn't canceled, we might see something later this year.

And those are?ZoddGutts said:Wouldn't be surprised either there really isn't anything coming out for the Wii for the next 3 months that would keep the Wii hardware sales up, unless anyone thinks that NSMB Wii will help the wii keep selling for the next 3 or so months... While the PS3 has several titles that will give it a bit of a bump and will hold PS3 hardware sales up.
Spiegel said:Not bad for only two days but I was expecting a higher sell-through after reading about stock problems last Monday. It'll end selling 800-900k LTD after all.
I guess no non-MH game will end selling 1M+ if Agito XIII can't make it

Brazil said:And those are?
I can only think of one.
Ok, you're right, :lol . The only one I had on my mind was Ar Tonelico III.ZoddGutts said:1/28 Ar Toncelico III and End of Eternity. The ArT series had done around 100k and EoE will likely do above 200k ltd. A good combo release that will help PS3 hardware sales though I'm not expecting a big bump but a bit up a bump nevertheless. Doubt Last Rebellion will do much.
2/04 Star Ocean 4 could end up bumping up the PS3 hardware sales if it ends up being a success like Tales of Vesperia was.
2/18 Sangoku Musou Online: Kamishou Ranbu. The Musou games have sold well.
3/18 Ryu ga Gotoku 4 (Yakuza 4) will do very well.
03/25 Hokuto Musou. Koei is expecting it to sell 500k but even if it does half of that still pretty good sales will give the PS3 a bit of bump. Not expecting much from GoW 3, could do 50k+.
The only big bump I see will be from Ryu ga Gotoku 4. But overall a good amount of PS3 release games that will help the PS3 not fall below 25k or even 30k for the next 2 or so months.

I wasn't considering March releases, though.
cvxfreak said:Is Agito going to be a "traditional" RPG? Or, basically a portable game with FFXIII's gameplay? If so, then making it to 1 Million might happen. If it's got some kind of derivative "non-mainline" gameplay, like Crisis Core or Revenant Wings (AFAIK, correct me if I'm wrong), then there's a chance it may not make it.
Even FFIII barely made it, and it almost got screwed by stock shortages.
I assume that they don't track digital sales thoughDiddyBop said::lol at the psp go

the models in pokemon battle revolution are pretty rad alreadyselig said:well, it takes time to model the over 500 pokemon for a new pokemon statdium
But maybe they teamed up with GameFreaks, working on a home console-Pokemon game. Remember that Gamefreaks annonce of searching 3d modelers?

selig said:btw, question i wanted to ask before: does famitsu count/estimate ALL sales for their year-sales chart, or only the sales that have been reported in the top50? Meaning, if a game dips below the top50, being off-chart, won´t its sales be considered?
BlackNMild2k1 said:So does this mean that the Top 50 has been posted?
I double checked the 1st post this time and it hasn't been updated.
