Hah. That's the good one. Next you are going to tell me Alien is coming to us.
But I said nothing.
And if studio didn't expect big number, why would they bother making game for the platform?

I could see Nintendo possibly funding a basara game, aren't their apparently 3 more third party exclusives Nintendo have funded (according to the guy who hinted at devil's third)
I'm confident that Capcom had no expectations whatsoever for the Japanese sales numbers of Dead Rising 3. That the Xbox One won't play a role in Japan and would likely sell worse than the Xbox 360 isn't a surprise, but something everyone in the business has known for a very long time. This is a game that is purely focused on the western markets.
Depends on whether or not you think the guy is trustworthy in the first place. A lot people said that Devil's Third will be a Wii U exclusive - most of them jokingly, though.

It's more likely to be a PS3-only Basara, imo.
If Nintendo funded any Capcom game. Wouldn't that be Megaman?
LOL.
Do you really think any company is going to release a fairly big last gen only exclusive next ye...

Oh sorry it was not you who said that it was another member
If it is profitable it dosn't matter how it sell,with a small install base it's imposible to Dead rising to have as strong launch then DR1 and DR2

Yeah it wasn't the most difficult guess to make but it's another fair bet Nintendo is funding more exclusives as otherwise there'll be almost no games
LOL.

You might want to hold on to that assumption until after TGS is over .
Just a month ago another game (Whether it is big is arguable ) Was considered Old gen only .
Persona 5 .
Bravely Default FTS Ultimate Hits back in stock at Yodobashi and Amazon.
Get those shipments SE! They are doing everything right with this franchise. I'm expecting big numbers for Bravely Second.
It's been like that since launch.
It has been up at all online retail stores until like 20:00 JST, then all the sudden all stores have taken it down, starting from Amazon.
Maybe server was too fed up so SE stopped shipment (IIRC they did say about it before release).
Maybe they're holding off from doing a large new shipment until they can get some of the technical issues resolved? Especially for server load, etc.

If those games were coming to PS4, Sony would've gotten them on the press conference.
I'm still holding out hope for TGS. Since they said they wanted to increase the series' western fanbase, it doesn't make much sense launching it exclusively on dead hardware with PS4 being in its second or even start of the third year by the time it is released in the west.
So just a made up assumption..I would be very surprised by any pure third party U game
I feel that with most publishers this would hold true, but that Namco Bandai is pretty conservative.
Like to me with Sega owning Atlus, a PS4 port was very likely because they port their titles around very frequently, including incredibly old ones like Genesis games and Dreamcast titles, and are willing to take the workload internally if need be as we saw with titles like Bayonetta.
With Namco we still see relatively reserved actions. They didn't even work to pick up the slack on something like Dark Souls 2 which has the vast majority of its fanbase in the West. They also have zero released PS4 games so far.
TGS Hype? Xbone not number One? Ö
.
Also just because they weren't at The Sony conference doesn't necessarily mean it won't happen .
Namco Might have wanted to announce it themselves .
Either way i am not going to assume yet whether or not it is going to happen .
Compared to last week ?
That would mean 18k + sales .
So, 3DS DQX beta is over. Time to analyze the feedback, improve the experience and prepare for the official release.
If Bandai Namco were going to release Zestiria simultaneously on PS3/4, they would have said it last week.
Now, if they are going to release Zestiria on the PS4, it is going to be later, like fall 2015, and they are not going to tell people "there's a better version coming out so skip the PS3 release". They'll only reveal it much closer to release.
SCEJA conference power.
I see that and there is a hint that sales of something tripled, but what?
You edited. =P

Wow, the game might have sold nine copies?
Doesn't make any sense... DQX is one of the September games for the 3DS XL promotion... and you can only get those games via the Nintendo eShop. So I guess only people with the DL code from the promotion can download DQX?
If animated Avatars were still a thing, i would give you this one with the highest recommendation :

Sales might be affected if and only if they started advertising the conference and its games in stores, which I doubt happened.
Yeah.
If I remember correctly, Nintendo started advertising MH3G the week following the announcement.

Bloodborne adverts started just when the conference was over, the same day, on monday.
A few days later, brochures with the new games also were available in shops. Just check my last photo i posted:
That's the TGS entry, and behind you can se the PS4's brochure. Dragon Quest Heroes and all the other games are inside. The shops have this brochure in the stands. You can take it for free.
No, he edited just a moment before and the number matches with Media Create lol
Look

70k -> 210k in a week?
I wouldn't bet my money on that. MK8 maybe, but there's nothing in the past week that could've been a trigger to spark rejuvenated interest in YW.
That's one of the many joke posts at 2ch.
It's sourcing a 2005 Famitsu article talking about the sales of the 360 that says nothing about 250k consoles.

A 2ch thread with only one post ( aka nobody even responded to it ), and citing a 2005 article of the 360 launch.
Troll/joke thread.
That's why I posted it here to get a thorough translation. I figured it was fishy but I wanted to see what the rest of the words around the 25 meant.

Title said 'XB1 sold 250k, blahblahblah' ( a lie, basically, to draw attention to the thread)
First post (OP) cites a 2005 Famitsu article from way back of the 360 launch.
Only one post in the thread, which means no one but the thread creator even posted in it.
This thread has been stored in the past log warehouse = archive of the thread.
The guy's hiding some text, watch out for that.
Skipping PSP in Japan and GC/Wii in the west for mainline entries seems to be their biggest mistakes. PSP especially I think could've made a strong transition point for moving the core series in step with the rest of the industry.
