So, is anyone expecting Japanese developers to return to consoles in a big fashion?

I don't see any real reason to believe that will happen but who knows.

 

[Glass Joe]

Either NoK jumped the gun or it's Korea only. We'll probably find out tomorrow.

It's probably Korean only. As far as I know, they tend to cover previous directs with their own random ones but nothing "new."

 

[urfe]

I'll do my predictions:

Kirby: 180k
Wii U: 30k

Not confident about either. I don't know how Kirby's usually sell in Japan.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

The only big third party game that PS4 will miss out on compared to ps2 gen is DQ. The only way I see JP devs ever focusing back on consoles is if software saes improve significantly and of course if PS4 sells well.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Kirby: 180k
Wii U: 30k

Not confident about either. I don't know how Kirby's usually sell in Japan.

Wii U will probably sell less than 20k.

I'm pretty sure we will see PS4 versions of DQX and MHF.

As for console revival, just look at PS3/PSV multis, even though PSV is bombing, multi platform releases always sell well on the platform, people in Japan love them handhelds.

 

[Aostia]

Wii U will probably sell less than 20k.

He was missing a point: it was meant 3.0 (pfff!!!)

 

[urfe]

Wii U will probably sell less than 20k.

We will see.

 

[SpecialAgentZ]

I'm expecting

Kirby: 150k
Wii U: 22k

With the software drought I can't see the Wii U doing any better numbers. But let's see what happens.

 

[SmokyDave]

I'll throw my hat in with 175k for Kirby and 28k for the Wii U.

Edit: Vita, fuck knows. I'll guess 32k but brace myself in case it's lower.

 

[Ratrat]

Sony should advertise playstation+ more. It's fucking amazing! It could potentially move vitas if people I knew how great it is.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Well, recent comments about PS4 could be lead in that direction, but in any case:
big production were still on home console last gen, thanks to PS360 success in the West.
mid-tier games for Japan crowd will probably still be split among 3DS, PS4/Vita, depending on the actual success that PS4 can face in that market

I agree, midtier is up in the air and will be crucial to reach and/or pass PS3.

I'm pretty sure we will see PS4 versions of DQX and MHF.

As for console revival, just look at PS3/PSV multis, even though PSV is bombing, multi platform releases always sell well on the platform, people in Japan love them handhelds.

I wonder how long the PS3 will sell software and where the userbase will go once it stops. Vita probably won't happen and PS3 owners won't suddenly stop wanting console games but I don't really see the PS4 in such a great position either. Time will tell I guess.

Sony should advertise playstation+ more. It's fucking amazing! It could potentially move vitas if people I knew how great it is.

People own PS3s and will own PS4s. I don't think they don't know about PS+

 

[BlackJace]

Man, I'm not even sure the Wii U will break 20k.

Looking forward to solid Kirby numbers.

 

[madmad90]

WII U : 29k
Kirby: 210k

 

[DaSorcerer7]

My guess, Wii u at 37k, Kirby 183k.

 

[Aostia]

We will see.

we will feel it (hard, probably)

 

[freezamite]

My bet is WiiU at 19k. Better hold than the GC or the WiiU last year, but not enough to surpass the 20k barrier.

 

[Ratrat]

People own PS3s and will own PS4s. I don't think they don't know about PS+

It's pretty garbage unless you own a vita. If they sold vitas with say a month of Plus and showed how many games you'd immediately have access to, would definitely turn some heads.

 

[Mr Swine]

My predictions for stupid people
3DS - 65k
WiiU - 8k
Vita - 45k

Kirby - 145k

 

[KingSnake]

Kirby: 175k
Vita: 35k

Brock = the Market
Rock = Wii U

Painfun.

10/10

 

[Sammy Samusu]

I'm more curious about Vita (will it hold well?) and 3DS (will it collapse?).

Wii U is dead dead.

 

[Bundy]

I guess the WiiU will be around 20k

 

[Yoshi]

3DS - 65k
WiiU - 8k
Vita - 45k

Kirby - 145k

If it is a prediction, please mark it as such if you don't want to be called a swine by enraged forum-goers.

 

[Gianni Merryman]

Speaking of predictions, are the December's results out?
I've looked for them but I can't find them anywhere.

NPD's no they come out tomorrow.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Spoiler

One of my favourite Bansky pieces

 

[Gianni Merryman]

NPD's no they come out tomorrow.

I'm not talking about NPD, I meant Media Create's prediction league of course.

 

[ZhugeEX]

So, do famitsu still release that big list of the top selling games of 2013?

You know the one with like 100 games?

Any idea when it normally comes out?

 

[Principate]

Fair enough no idea about that.

Also, seeing how everyone's predicting

3DS - 110k
Vita - 35k
Wii U - 28k
PS3 - 20k

Kirby - 215k

 

[RalchAC]

Edit: Vita, fuck knows. I'll guess 32k but brace myself in case it's lower.
