3G unit is definitely going to get axed. The price was reduced to the same as the "this obviously costs us less to make but we're not passing on the savings" Vita 2000, and has some super bundle with a 32GB and Hot Shots Golf.
Also, I think it's safe to say Lost Planet 3 will be Last Planet 3. Outside of an insulting iOS game I think that IP's done.

There's also a new Magi coming on 3DS. Here's the official site

Guys I don't think I can handle Puppeteer numbers ;-;
I dunno what I might do to myself

I wonder if it'll do worse than the wonderful 101, proportionally to the user base that is.
Proportionally to the user base, of course it'll do worse. That's an useless and meaningless metric for game sales though.
Attach rate is meaningless? I get your point though.

Would 20k be generous for Puppeteer?
Taiko no Tatsujin Wii U Version is the first big effort from a Japanese third party on Wii U: not a port, not on other consoles, completely new project. It's tragic this is the first seriously big project announced by Japan in...forever, though; at least, it's something. Something good.
Yes. Publishers just care for raw sales. They don't make more money selling 100k on Wii U (10% attach rate) instead of 500k on PS3 (~5%).

Lifetime or first week?
First week too generous going by selltrough we got
Also Wii U is on fire.

That's like second 3rd party game in this week.

depends on the budget though, however like I said,I see your point, it's just morbid curiosity.

The funny thing about this is that in the same week, Wii U and PS Vita get the announcement of their respective biggest (given the current landscape) potential third-party titles. In Wii U's case I'm sure we won't see anything bigger (other than a sequel that may sell more) during its lifetime.
So at least 2 third-party games will have crossed 100k units on Wii U during its first year...
Currently, the third best selling one is barely over 30k units sold.

been tons of stuff announced this week. hope there's still some big surprises for next week
The budget still has nothing to do with attach rate. Total attach rate of software is useful for looking at the health of a platform. Individual attach rate of a huge title is also useful to see how accepted it is on that platform. Beyond that, it's literally an irrelevant statistic for a ton of reasons.

Everything for consoles/handhelds have been announced. Next week, it is all iOS/Android/Social announcements
The Bitter Truth!
The Idolmaster announcement is still missing from the Bandai Namco line up. So maybe surprise at TGS.

So that Level 5 ps4 game they were talking about was Wonderflick?
F2P game most likely.
Yes. It certainly looks that way.

They only have themselves to blame. This outsourcing experiment turned out pretty awful for them even if not all of the games were terrible.
Wow, that 3G Vita + 32GB + screen protector + Minna no golf pack is $250, it lands 31st Oct. It comes with a load of demos but also Monster Radar which I believe was a full retail game at launch. Oh, it has Power Pro Baseball as well (not sure what that game is).

SE had Agito on famitsu and TFF on Jump next week, maybe something for next week famitsu too
they usually announce some stuff on first day of the show though, kh2.5 could be then.
iirc they announced DQ Monsters for 3DS on some stage event at TGS too couple years ago.
There should be more stuff from them whether it's what people want is another matter. Overall turned out somewhat decent for Sega/Namco so far.
Capcom lineup looks so dead though next year.

Resident Evil 7 seems like safe bet. Also maybe part 2 of DMC reboot if it was greenlighted.
Really? RE6 came out over 3 years after RE5 and took them hundreds of staff. RE6 just came out last year. Why would anyone expect RE7 next year?

Sengoku Basara 4, Strider HD and Ultra Street Fighter IV are 2014 releases, not sure about Deep Down. Monster Hunter Online is apparently staying in China.
Other than that I have a hard time coming up with anything. Most of their important franchises have seen recent releases.

So, it took them three and a half years to go from RE5->6 while it took them four to go from 4->5.And you think RE7, the first of its gen game, will release next year?
I also doubt DmC2 was greenlit.If things had gone the way Capcom wanted to, Ninja Theory would have been renamed to Capcom Cambridge.
Dragon's Dogma 2 could be for 2014 if it does not change platforms.I have no idea what else there is.They have pretty much killed everything else.

you gotta be kidding me. its only the best baseball game series ever made (basically baseball RPG with big headed guys).
RE7 is very unlikely. DMC2 would be pretty quick if it came out next year.
Forgot about Strider HD and Ultra SFIV. I thought a Basara game won't come since they are making Sengoku Musou 4, which comes out next year. Didn't know MHO was confirmed for 2014.

I think Capcom is going to bank on Deep Down and MH4G next year as their big titles seeing as RE and SF will not make it. I wonder what the Dragons Dogma team is doing though.
?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Are you confusing totally different franchises and developers?
Sengoku Basara = Capcom developed
Sengoku Musou = Omega Force (Koei-Tecmo) developed
Both Sengoku Basara 4 and Sengoku Musou 4 are announced titles coming in 2014.
Glass Rebel
Member
I'm not sure how Sengoku Musou 4 relates to this? That's a Koei series.
MHO has recently started its beta I think but it's staying in China for the time bein.
I'm stupid, I thought they were both made by Capcom. Carry on.
EDIT: Oh yea, Sengoku Musou is a Samurai Warriors spin-off.

I'm fairly sure there was interview floating around with Capcom that they will be speeding up production of next RE games.
And that's the only big franchise they can milk reliably in 2014 since it's too early for next MH and everything else is in regression.
edit: Sengoku Basara won't reach a milion as it doesn't exist outside of Japan
selling another SF IV to PS3/X360 userbase will produce another decline in results
Well i guess they could make an update to MH4 after all.

I don't think we will see the next RE as a numbered title. Knowing Capcom, they might just reboot the series now and call it "Resident Evil" but on next gen.
The two big games going forward are Deep Down and Ultra Street Fighter 4. Hopefully, they have a few more surprises up their sleeves especially Dragon's Dogma 2 on next gen will be godly.

It's much, much, much more realistic to see Resident Evil: Revelations 2 released next year than RE7 already. And Revelations 2 isn't such a great possibility either.

Revelations 2 must have been at some point and to some extent being developed.It probably was even planned for 2014.The plans must have changed though.
How do we know that? Serious question.

We don't.It's coming out of my ass.
TALES FROM MY ASS RETURNS: Resident Evil Revelations 2 originally scheduled for 2014
It sounds like a good installment in such an amazing series.

It's much more realistic to assume Revelations is dead as a series.
But then again everything Capcom has is in some stage of decline (apart from MH which might or might not reach PSP record numbers).
And instead of trying to change it with for example making SF V for next gens early to establish userbase there and refresh IP we get milking with another SFIV reboot which further alienates part of fans.

Title fits perfectly for the game, lol.Anyways, my reasoning is as such:
They wanted Resident Evil annualised.They can't release a mainline game each year.RE:R was early 2012.It had a story that pretty much had nothing to do with the rest of the series aside from the main characters and the ending had clear hints of sequel.Resident Evil 6 was late 2012.Revelations ports were this year.Revelations 2(or Redemption or Revengeance or whatever they would want to call it) could be the 2014 game while RE:7 the 2015.Again this is pure speculation on my part.I just believe at some point that's what Capcom ideally wanted to do with the series.
Glass Rebel

I think the Revelations subseries could do well for itself. The 3DS game was "a success even if [they] wanted more sales" (whatever that means in Capcom-speak) and the HD version sold (or shipped?) 900k WW. But I guess that's not enough for Capcpom.

Can we please have pictorial evidence of this taken using the 3DS camera?
Also, the Square Enix lineup isn't as bad as it could be (i.e nothing) but it is really, really disappointing coming from the same developer that made DS games (... of Mana, Final Fantasy remake, Chrono Trigger, decent Crystal Chronicles games, Lufia, TWEWY...).
