Yup but Vita still has nothing in for Febraury or January. Those are gonna be some tough months.

Yeah Dragon Ball is also multiplat so that'll lesson its impact too. I suppose Disgaea 4 could do well enough as it's a niche title that brings its audience along with it and apart from Disgaea 3 I don't think there are any othere SRPGs on the systemDragon Ball and Disgaea 4 should do alright but nothing too big no. March is pretty packed though so it should be fine.
I meant notable releases, sorry, should have clarrified.Games have been dated for both of those months

Was looking at some stats about the download sales form Famitsu.
[/CODE]
I don't think Famitsu is taking data directly with companies. For me this eShop, PSN... sales are estimates.

This is horrible.Vita releases (January - February)
smh at the hate. Go Hino!
Download cards could explain the difference between this and the Famitsu charts.

They never had good team for mobile games (basically they outsourced everything). Recently they declared that they'll use profits from Monster Hunter to establish new in-house mobile game teams.
sörine;91972291 said:I know Capcom has an established western subsidiary for mobile development (Beeline) but I thought their Tokyo studio already made mobile/social games too? Dissapointing at any rate, one would hope profits from 3DS games would get sunk into more 3DS games first.
Why would they do it?
They can use their PS2 era assets to release MH 4 three times during generation - each time scoring 3-4 milions of sales.

MH4 doesn't use PS2 era assets. I'd just like to see Capcom re-invest on the their most successful platform rather than chase the great white (mobile) whale. Reminds me of how companies last gen used handheld profits to fund HD bombas.Why would they do it?

Osaka is where their main R&D is so that makes some sense. The Tokyo studio has been moving into consoles too with MH Frontier and Deep Down, so it seems Capcom wants to diversify all over.The new studio will be build at Osaka, costing them like 4bil yen. The money came from profit of the MH, so some Japanese business magazine's article said.

Not this generation. Last gen Capcom did pretty well on all systems though, even PSP and Wii were big moneymakers for them.Isn't Ps3 their most successful platform?

In general right now Capcom is making all their money on 3DS thanks to MH4. RE6 and LP3 were sales dissapointments for them so the combined "HD platform" isn't the most successful I would say.Are you only counting Vita, WiiU and 3DS as this generation. Thought you were talking in general. Either way I don't wan't any company to focus on mobile but hey what can I do but play the games that actually come out on the systems I own.
smh at the hate. Go Hino!
And apparently there's a manga for boys in CoroCoro.

SM3DW will take off over Christmas, it'll sell 500k without much trouble; given the lack of competition from any next-gen HW WiiU (may) have a chance over the holidays.
500K in Japan? That's just not going to happen, it'll be lucky to crack 250k and even that might be a pipe dream at this point before the end of the year.

Yup but Vita still has nothing in for Febraury or January. Those are gonna be some tough months.
Going to fair better than the WiiU at least.
Indeed though I wonder if it'll go below 10k or not. Not really sure.

DK:TP is in Feb, right?
If Mario couldn't do anything major, then Donkey Kong ain't gonna do jack
Do you have any links btw? Japanese is fine.
I'd like to clone yours posts into a new thread, but we usually like to include a link unless it was a physical magazine or TV show that inherently can't be linked.
I'll probably still clone out even if you don't since I think it's a rather interesting look at how a major Japanese publishing is using their funds.
...I know Nintendo games sell well in Xmas but seriously? 500k? I don't think that's going to be a thing...
3D World will probably crack 300k by the end of the holidays, but I still think 500k is a pipe dream with that opening. Wii U games have not shown great legs.
Depends how fast 3DS sales slow down, sometime next year is a definite though.So does Nintendo have any plans of releasing the 2DS in Japan?
It'd be perfect for me. a cheap handheld to play all dem games that will never see the light of day in the west
Going by COMGNET:
XIII-3 looks to have sold ~ 60,000
Super Mario 3D World ~ 40,000
XIII-3 won't reach half a million. Wow

With only 1.2 million WiiU's in Japan, that would need either an insanely high attach ratio or a big explosion in WiiU sales.
