Finally!
If it was such a limited print Nintendo wouldn't bother with this late release. They won't ship it forever but it will last for a period. It's supposed to give an extra motive to current Smash owners to update to New LL.

Yeah, mid-late January and February is where any effect from the holidays has generally worn off and helps set the tone for the rest of the year barring some major game changing action which doesn't seem to be coming in the first half of the year.

I didn't realise DQH was cross-gen. Now I get it.
bloodborne will be the first game selling 200k I think
Dqh could have a more ps3 oriented balance, but the total could reach the million mark, considering OP and Ken's sales imho
LOL at the sarcastic hope
For DQH I've given my prediction before and I won't start again with the same argument again but things are very simple:
Like previous PS3/PSP, PS3/PSV and PSP/PSV releases the issue is the same. If DQH would sell 800-900k as a PS3 exclusive it has a chance to sell 1m as a PS3/PS4 release.
Looking at predictions from YSO things don't look very hot for next week's WE2015 and COD:AW, if someone expects rise at total sales because of PS4.

I'd assume the PS3 if you're talking about Sony consoles. Unless something has changed recently, the PS4 was trailing the DC in Japan.

That would be Vita which I believe took just under a full year to get there. PS4's tracking quite a bit behind it but it shouldn't beak the record if it gains some sort if momentum next year.

Yeah. I would like to point it out the talent of Level-5 in creating such a phenomenon. It is not due to "external" factor, but to Level-5 itself. The game was going to be a 400k-500k sellers without the anime, but the cartoon really helped the sales; Level-5 was good enough to produce an entertaining anime and to surround it with a lot of gadgets.

I don't think so, Japan prefers portable entertainment more than Home. This title won't do like portable if its on Home console.

I would be very surprised if there is no spin off announced in the january direct for japan. Iwata likes to bank on stuff like this.

About Level-5... Do you think they will present some new game in the near future? Since last year, the company has been very YW-centric (and for a good reason). Right now, it makes sense they will invest some money in new IPs or new entries of already established IPs. Level-5 typically had a conference in late Summer / early Autumn to show its line-up. Will they do a similar event this year?
What I expect is more 3DS support, given the success of YW; probably the Ushiro revival, and some new entry for Layton or Inazuma Eleven; and a new home console jRPG in the vein of Ni no Kuni.

If I understand the reviews correctly, bad games are caused by people not owning credit cards.
I've never be on the "blaming-side" with L5, but I'm on the fence right now, at the spike of their success.
If they will actually not show other brand new projects I'll blame them.
I mean: they have always done this, investing the money gained from their most successfull IPs (that were "exploited" very much) in new projects (even experiments, sometimes).
If now they will focus only, or too much, into YW, while it's clear that they are still applying their "exploiting" business model to that IP, it will be a huge mistake.
If they will be able, instead, to invest that money into brand new IPs, probably (looking at their past history) they will also be able to find some success (maybe "just" IE or Layotn-level of success) aside some failure.
Best hope for code-monkeying for DQXI.
Don't know...but it is bizzaree, knowing L5, that they didn't push another episode, considering that it should have sold (in Japan) about 300k (231K + around 60k for the "Link" expansion), and that it seems that it was selling decently in Europe at least (waiting for the US numbers) - I know it's published by N in the West, but I'm pretty sure that they gain royalty on those copies too.

Hino said that Fantasy Life would have become a franchise.
Fantasy Life sold 360k units at retail (290k the original one + 70k the Link expansion).
Wow, Garaph wans't update! Even better I'd say.
I'd see a Fantasy Life 2 (with online multiplayer from the scratch, right?) as a good fit for (N)3DS in 2015 (alongised Rune Factory 5
)1-Up is now solely dedicated to support work for various Nintendo games; they stopped making their own games when they went from Brownie Brown to 1-Up.
It was actually h.a.n.d. who completed the Link! expansion for Fantasy Life. No idea if Brownies, the company created by one of the Brownie Brown co-funder, is working on Fantasy Life 2 or whatnot (no idea what they're working on, period. Haven't heard anything about them since the company was created, and their website isn't really helpful.
They're definitely going to make another FL game, but it's definitely going to take while because the first one was pretty massive, and they know they can't just create a new bunch of monsters/football players for yearly releases. And besides, not sure players would be able to play such massive game every year anyway.
Pretty sure we should hear about the future of Fantasy Life next year... though I'm wondering what happened to the updated "promised" for FL after the Link! edition was released. There was a couple of DLC, but nothing since H2 2013, actually.

Media Create doesn't include bundle with download code in software sales. Famitsu does, so I suppose they will start tracking in december.
While it's improving, they don't seem to have quite figured out how to monetize it yet at a major level. There's a recovery possibility, but they'll need to act sooner than later.
Their other new game seems to be a dead launch.
One could say that dumb are those who buy digital versions of their games considering that they can get blocked from playing them at any given moment.
To be fair these are the types of FF mobile games that I think we can all agree are a good fit for the platform. I would even say Square should rework most of their minigames into smartphone apps.

Comgnet orders - PS3 and Vita versions didn't chart at all. Wii U version did about the same as 3DS version... so maybe like 10K each? I'd assume it'd do better once the holidays really start.

3DS has not as many f2p games as Vita has, so I don't understand your statement
also, Initial D is a very crappy game, I wonder how many of those 600k people have played it for more than a week
one month ago I wanted to take a look at it after 8 months, but it was already midnight and you can play from 10:00until 22:00 or 23:00... wtfits??
