The real questions behind those musings and anecdotes is wherever or not the major third-party titles can crack the 500k bar. I would assume it is madness to think RE:R can leg his way to there but I expect KH:3D to reach it before it is all said and done.

Nintendo's 1st party offerings will also be tested. After all, their two important titles haven't level offed yet, and may do so at around 25k-18k only. Brain Training did that at 30k, NSMB at 50k. It is not all rosy for the BigN either.

The real question is, would those titles crack 500K bar on other platforms?

How much did RE:CVX sell?

...Eh? Look, we've been talking about it all together about how to use them in an useful way. To improve these threads. Does it really look like he hates them? :)

About RE: Code Veronica. Both the original and the X


[PS2] Resident Evil: Code Veronica (Capcom) - 184.475 / 337.755 / 54,62% 22/03/01
[SDC] Resident Evil: Code Veronica (Capcom) - 306.778 / 403.962 / 75,94% 03/02/00

(I am actually with him regarding how to use it, but how actively he pursues it reminds me of his complains with L5 :D)

I guess, considering that CVX was also an spin-off; RE:R is not going to sell as much as they could hope for.

We made this debate some weeks ago.
Btw, I think it's a safe bet to say that KH3D will do over 500k; 358/2 Days did, and it wasn't even a mainline game. Other third parties titles over 500k? Hard to say, imo. PLvsAA should do it, maybe IE Go if it has very good legs.

Wow at Armored Core V! 180k, maybe? Hoping RE is at 170-180k as well. Good to see Rhythm Thief still in top 10.

Monster Hunter sold 31k last week, and there is no reason to expect that it better this week. So this only means that ToI sold more than 30k copies.

Wondering if ToI will sell systems, too, with a clear upspike in PSV sales. I wasn't expecting it to, but it's certainly a possibility.

Are we expecting it to be frontloaded? On the one hand, it's a JRPG, and they generally are - on the other, though, it's on a system which isn't that widespread yet, so some people may put off the purchase until they can get the system too. I'm not sure how things generally pan out at this stage of a system's lifestyle.

180k would be unprecedented in the franchise's recent history.
Heaven, even 100k would have been a steep increase.


ACV's gain of popularity is News of this First Quarter so far.

How did the tales game perform on the 3DS in terms of legs? That might give us an idea of what to expect (i know they are very different platforms).

There's going to be a huge gap between #3 and #2 either way. It doesn't have to be a "slow" week at all, since Monster Hunter 3G at #4 pretty much confirmeds that #4 and below are <50k anyway.

Edit: I like how my prediction for Gundam was the lowest out of everyone who predicted, and it still managed to sell significantly worse than I predicted. Lol.

Am I right in thinking Rhythm Thief had an eShop demo in Japan?
If so maybe Konami should consider doing the same for Beyond the Labyrinth

It should have sold through its first shipment by the end of February, and then we'll have to see how it goes from there. We never got any reports of massive price drops or bomba bins so I'd think retailers will order more copies beyond the initial 400k.

...And the Rhythm Thief demo is probably helping the game, at this point.

P.S This is the third consecutive week of 6 positions of top 10 occupied by 3DS games, due to the continuous flow of releases...

Anything bellow MH3 should be <30k.

I really don't have any idea how the top 3 sold, but let's see how my 200k LTD prediction for RE:R holds (many said that my prediction was ridiculous).

Good for Revelations. And damn, the third game in the top 10 only sold 18k? Yikes.

Edit: Nintendogs + Cats still in the top 20. Hmm

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
