FFX|V will be the game to tank SE, won't it?
If it follows the same kind of sales pattern as SM64 DS, it should reach 2M at some point, shouldn't be too surprising.

Heatwave strikes again!
The heatwave joke has really run its course >.> Guess we'll keep seeing it for next 3 years. It's becoming almost as bad as the "but they told me Nintendo is doomed" posts we often see.
And man, Disgaea D2 did awful for NIS, are they still in financial trouble? (I hope not because NISA finally entered a deal with Atlus for European releases, I want this to last >.>)

We need an update on the Pokemon Centers before we really start worrying.
Nah, the heatwave joke is funny. It will be kinda funny with a cold snap version during a winter.
Yea, after looking at Dengeki further it does seem that way.
Is that according to Media Create?
OK lol. I was kinda confused about your second sentence.

While it will no doubt that XIV hurt Squeenix, FFXHD should put the company back on a healthy financial course.

The figures I posted are from Famitsu.
I found it really strange that it had sold so few units in the last 7 weeks. But since I'm sleepy (02:25 AM) it took me a bit to realize that that couldn't be possible
Edit: September's prediction league looks very interesting.

Attention:
- Remember for some games it's not only the 1st week.
- Multiplatform games are the combined available sales of each platform.
- The official monthly hardware sales will be the sum of weekly numbers for all versions of the system available from Famitsu.
- The official monthly software sales will be the latest total or the sum of the weekly numbers if the title is release before the period available from the Famitsu Top 30.
- The official monthly sales for multi-platform releases will be the combined available sales of each platform shown in the title entry.
- The official monthly sales for games with multiple versions will be the combined available sales of each version shown in the title entry.
- Any game missing in the Famitsu top 30 will be taken out of the predictions.
- Any item missing in your prediction will be considered as if you had predicted zero for its sales.

A lot.
I don't partake in the Prediction League, but this seems like the hardest month.
A remake will put the company back to a financially healthy future? It'll make them money for sure, but I'm not sure about it being the thing that sets the company straight.
Oh OK. And that explains it why that number was so low. I seen that it sold around ~2K last week on Dengeki and was so confused as to how it would only sell ~1K for the 6 weeks prior to that week.

I think they'll do decent off of it but they are probably going to have to make moves to keep people playing after launch.

Was it one of those "Anime-looking" games that's full of girls, because those kinds of games have always screamed "PlayStation" to me for some reason (didn't Senran Kagura have similar or greater sales on the Vita compared to 3DS?).
FFX is a very beloved title in Japan and the remake would not only set the Vita as a serious competitor to the 3DS but also help out Square financially.

I think LBX will sell way more than that, it's a new game, no?

You have to stop.
Indeed, it is, especially when it now has a 12+ million install base in that region.
There is optimism and then there's delusions...
You do know that FF X/X2 HD is releasing on PS3, where you get both game at once right?
DQX sold close to 600K, not 400K, on Wii.
People really overestimate FF games in Japan now. It's not late 1990's anymore.

Those are way too low imo. Even LBX W 3DS did better than that. And MH4 is going to do better than that in its first week. Any reason you think it's going to underperform this badly?

Monster Hunter 4 will have download cards right?
I think you have too much optimism towards FFX HD. DQ7 is also a beloved title in Japan. It was remade on the 3DS and it sold just north of 1.1M.
Now FFX/X-2 HD is on both the PS3 and Vita. The PS3 version has both games on one disc, thus the PS3 version is more favorable since you don't have to buy both separately like you do with the Vita. It will probably sell great on the PS3, and well on the Vita, but it is hard to imagine that this game would turn the Vita around and make it a serious competitor to the 3DS. And I've already said it will make money for Square, but you are over exaggerating the amount it will make for them.

Hoping for a MH4 bomba so Monster Hunter will rightfully be back on Sony systems.
/sarcasm
Right, but I thought those games would've built something of an audience on 3DS for Conception, like the 2:1 ratio that was shipped.
But instead it looks like the 3DS game may do much worse.
OK, so famitsu will include those. I really do wonder if they won't be able to manufacture enough carts.

Do we know if its a fancier high capacity one?
I would imagine Nintendo would give the highest priority in production scheduling for this.
The issue would be Pokemon releasing close to it. That's a lot of carts to manufacture in a short time.

I think I would prefer having it on the Vita for portability even though the PS3 version will likely be a better deal. I'm not sure how widespread that sentiment is though. I expect the PS3 version to sell twice the number of copies as Vita.

They haven't really specified, but not confirming it makes most people think they will be sold separately.

It doesn't look like it.
If you look at that image, it says Monster Hunter 4 is 1740 MB (13920 Blocks). That means it should easily fit into a normal 16 Gbit card.
