Oh ba-humbug! I did it again, bloody can't seem to read the difference between psp and ps3 when doing predictions....
I blame it on road confusing me!
Anyway here's some real contribution to the topic:
3DS BlazBlue2 2011/03/31 5550
PSP BlazBlue2 2011/03/31 24,310/ 30,056
17 3DS Pro baseball Spirits 2011 KONAMI 2011/04/14 12,071 / 15.268

Aka Based on past examples, unchained rexx 3ds actually ratio is actually fairly nice.
Also stien's gate has utterly amazing legs for the type of game it is

In japan it is.... with how much it's been shown off recently(world hobby fair and such) I'd be a bit taken aback it if it wasn't the next major Nintendo game out in Japan

Tempted to just start importing these JP-only gems, especially the ones with no prayer of localization. Kind of sick of missing out.

Why do you want people to jump on an old remake?mutsu said:
Plus, Starfox was never populair in Japan.

Didn't 2 of the old games sell like a million copies? Nintendo should have treated this franchise a little better. Metroid for example gets treated far better but i think star fox had the potential to be more popular and it would fill a niche that nintendo really doesn't cover.
Edit: So the one on the 64 sold half a million, but the one on the snes sold better i think.

If Star Fox 64 3D has the same legs of the DS entry, it will break the 100k quite easily. Considering it's one of the few valid games on the console, this might be reasonable.
There weren't trackers back then and we don't have info for the shipment so there is no way you know that.AdventureRacing said:

Probably looking more at the western market for it. It was planned for localization from the beginning, so maybe they did learn a lesson from Z&U.Alrus said:

Heh, their prediction in the fiscal year PRs wasn't that spicy (400k of a tales title shipped before March 31st 2012) so they had to do something.Road said:

Time will tell, I suppose. It definitely could go either way, though I'd put my money on it doing very well.

wow, what happened to this game?
For the record, out of all the Taiko's released this gen, the top 3 that sold the most in it's lifetime so far is:JustAnotherOtaku said:
1. Taiko DS1
2. Taiko DS2 (despite the slow start)
3. Taiko Wii 1
Also, lol @ people think IE Strikers would bomb. It's the new fad, people. And Japan just won a football championship.
Bad Professor Layton clone is bad. Also lack of advertising from what I've heard.Augemitbutter said:

Not too mention Star Fox has been dying(100k for the DS entry when the DS was extremely popular and selling boat loads) while Zelda remains fairly popular today.saichi said:

Of course, which is why Zelda ended up higher than the supposed initial shipment first week. Clearly Nintendo has the opportunity to churn out more stock than Third Parties without quite as much 'downtime' since it directly controls the flow of new copies rather than Third Parties that have to request new stock and wait.Chris1964 said:
I fully expect Minna no Rhythm Tengoku to easily pass 500,000 since Wii owners have been starved of a big casual hit for a while.
Starfox is an interesting one. I don't exactly recall azalyn's initial shipment estimate, but for some reason 60,000 keeps popping into my head. If so, then the first week start is not awful, by any means. Second week results will be intriguing - more of a Zelda hold, or a Tales plummet?

Sheesh, that's rather ugly for Starfox. Quite a shame.

Rhythm Heaven Wii will sell a lot; I remember how well sold the DS entry some years ago... Its first day was good but the first week was huge (about 230k units), and it kept to sell for months with a strong performance during Christmas holidays (more than 180k units in two weeks!).. I'm expecting the Wii episode will have the same behaviour, even if with less copies... Anyway, million seller for sure.
Concerning Doctor Lautrec, it's not a proper Layton clone, but it resembles it too much visually, so video gamers thought it was another Konami clone (after Zack and the Umbras and Little Magicians, which actually sold very well).

Starfox is dead. Can't stop complaining about the necessity to develop new IPs.
Good thing that Nintendo itself did not waste time redeveloping it though.
