I don't have a link, but I was just in a convenience store buying some strawberry milk and saw a big preorder ad. But that doesn't mean anything by itself; I'm sure they also had plenty of preorder signage for FFVII DoC, which was one of the biggest turds ever dropped onto this country.charlequin said:
What makes me so sure is a combination of things. Hot console, one of the most popular franchises, simple gameplay, cross-generational appeal, a country blanketed in ads, released right in the middle of one of the biggest game-buying seasons... there's simply no reason to doubt it.

In Shakespeare's "Timon of Athens" there is this quote: "Wilt thou whip thine own faults in other men?" This is what we're seeing above.
Yes, it was true that ten years ago many Nintendo fans were stuck in the past. When the Playstation debuted, many thought it wouldn't match the N64. But, in their defense, the industry had only gone through four console generations at that point. Now as we enter the seventh console generation, there is no excuse for being stuck in the past. There is too much business history to suggest that the market leaders of prior generations rarely retain it for long.
Sony fans remind me of the Nintendo fans back during the early N64 days. Sony fans' worldview is stuck in the later half of the 90s and cannot get out.
This worldview consists of the following:
-Only fans of Nintendo games buy Nintendo systems.
-Fans of Nintendo are always fans of Mario, Zelda, and Metroid.
-Third parties don't make games on Nintendo systems.
-If they do make any games, the third parties' games won't sell on Nintendo's system because that userbase are a bunch of Mario and Zelda fans, not TRUE GAMERS like Playstation players.
-Nintendo is an unfair company who puts third parties into draconian contracts.
-The Sony system always has the superior game library.
-Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest are franchises on Sony systems. They will never be a part on a Nintendo system again.
-The marketshare for Sony system is always RISING, marketshare for Nintendo system is always FALLING (insert a pie chart for effect).
-If this keeps up, Nintendo will have to go third party and make games for Sony systems.
The problem for the Sony fan is that it is no longer 1996 but 2006 (just as the problem for the Nintendo fan ten years ago was that it was no longer 1986 but 1996). Nothing on that worldview list really holds up anymore. But it won't matter, the Sony fan will pull one of those out each different time.
The industry IS changing though. The Nintendo under Iwata is completely different than the Nintendo under Yamauchi. The Sony of today (where they are betting the company on the PS3) is different than the Sony of yesterday (where every part of the company was healthy). And instead of cash starved Sega, we have money drunk Microsoft.
Third parties gravitate towards the console in which they can make the most money. Nintendo's contracts of yesteryear really compromised that. But today, the biggest difference seen through third party publishers' eyes now is cost. Development costs were way too high last generation, this next generation the HD gaming will break the back of too many budgets except for the biggest companies (which our friend, above, only wants to focus on). The industry will also change because third parties handle disruption technologies differently. Electronic Arts, who for some reason cannot handle disruption technology, will stumble. Atlus, who appears to be embracing the disruptive element, will reap the awards.
I think many of the Sony fans thought the DS "blip" in Japan was just a fad. It was inevitable that the PSP would rise to the top while DS sank. But it is not inevitable. And the future cannot be that easily predicted. It is very probable that the Wii could take over Japan in the same fashion the DS had. Games such as Animal Crossing WW are outselling Final Fantasy 12. A Mario game is raking in monster sales and is sitting at the top of the sales charts in all countries. Change is happening.
What scares them, I think, is that they ought to realize by now that the DS is not a fad. And that Japan may become the deciding market in the console wars to come. Even more worrisome is that the trends of Japan may catch on in the markets in the West.
Remember how everyone said Brain Trainer wouldn't sell in the West? Yeah. Whatever is happening in Japan is slowly spreading throughout the rest of the world...

Cross-generation = the Lapsed Gamers
People give non-gamers too much credit for the success for the DS. But Nintendo's strategy is also to heavily target the lapsed gamers and get them playing again. This is why sales for games such as New Super Mario Brothers is so high. Since lapsed gamers seem to be strongest in Japan and Final Fantasy III hails from the NES era, this Final Fantasy will appeal to them more.
Unless Square-Enix bungles Final Fantasy 3, it will be a sure-fire hit.

That is a good question. Looking back at systems like PS1, WonderSwan Color, SwanCrystal, and Game Boy Advance, they were at least consistently getting multiple dozen when they stopped being listed. I guess Xbox has only been consistently under 100 for about 3 months now, though, so maybe it won't be much longer. Or maybe they're waiting for GBA to get just a bit lamer so they can drop them together.Mrbob said:
GameCube didn't matter in Japan either, though, relative to PS2. If anything, GameCube versus Xbox shows that being a distant second in one territory doesn't guarantee you'll be in second place in another territory.AniHawk said:

Exactly, the japanese market is important if you have big enough an impact there, it's no wonder since the NES all systems that got to leadership in Japan rose to the same status worldwide. Japan wasn't very important for Genesis as a market either, but overall Japan didn't lose its importance just because the 16-bit war got all the attention in the US(and made the most money), it still pretty much called the shots of who would lead if you watch closely how it happened with the PS1. Not that it's a rule, but it's interesting not only how that happened as also how we saw the rise of console RPGs, Pokemon, Tetris, Nintendogs, and now Brain Training, it's an important market even if it isn't the biggest.

Well, what I found most amazing in DS's performance is that it sells ALWAYS around 150-200k. And that's means 1 million pro month.
In 1 year, Nintendo DS LTD will be higher then PS2 LTD: absurde !!! And this without count December.

Great sales for NSMB!
Shame to see MV2 so low, but the main things selling in Japan seem to be major franchises and new Nintendo games, so it's not that surprising.
I expect this will happen anyway, there are rumours from sources cited as reliable saying there will be 2 new DS Lite colours coming with the launch of Pokémon Diamond/Pearl:
http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3344&Itemid=2&limit=1&limitstart=4
The DS Lite availability is becoming a concern. Over 100k a week has become the norm, with even bigger boosts when major games are released and Nintendo still needs to build stocks for the end of year.
edit - I have to wonder if the manufacture of 2.2 million DS Lites a month will be enough.

fair enough - you can overstate it when it's a sure thing. at the same time though, even games that were expected to do good (AC:WW & NSMB) have ended performing shockingly well. I don't think most were expecting such crazy sales in the long run, and it is quite possible FFIII will surprise us - even if it is a "sure thing".
thefro said:
It'll lead to some more, certainly. Not necessarily a lot more.
While Melvoin was mercilessly mocked (and rightly so) for his Monotastic post, there was a sliver of truth there in that third parties really haven't abandoned the PSP yet and a lot of major Japanese third parties such as Namco Bandai, Sega, Konami, and Capcom are continuing with a very healthy amount of PSP support (in some cases much greater than their DS support). And that's despite the astounding lead the DS has taken over the PSP.
I doubt the Wii's lead over the PS3, if it does take the lead in Japan, will be as severe as the DS lead over the PSP, so if the PSP can continue doing fairly well with Japanese third parties, a Wii lead isn't going to kill third party support for the PS3.
I think it will lead to some intense confusion and almost a deer-in-the-headlights paralysis from a whole lot of major devs, though. They're really just not going to know what to do if that happens. Many of these guys really want to be majing major production big-budget cinematic games and if you rule out the PS3, they're not really going to have an outlet for these since the 360 is completely dead in Japan, and they're making these games firstly for a Japanese audience.
So a Wii lead will give the system some more third party support, but not as much as some people are expecting, and I think that increase in support will still be a long time in the coming. The system's mostly going to be dominated for a very long time by Nintendo and by the few third parties that seem solidly on board from the outset.

Honestly? To hell with these third-party developers. All of them. Why does Sony, Nintendo, or Microsoft need to rely on relics like Capcom, Namco, Sega, Square every generation? Let's see a new third-party regime come into the picture, some new blood born as a result of lower development costs and strong marketing assistance from console manufacturers (Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo).

True, I was just about to edit my prediction.
I'm gonna say 250,000 first week and 700,000 LTD. I am relying of the long legs for DS games phenomenon here.
And yes, I am pulling these numbers completely out of my ass. (As most people do)
AniHawk said:
Yeah, typically, but if you look at, say, Slime Morimori 2, almost all of its sales came after the first week. Pokemon Ranger and Mystery Dungeon have been selling well, well past their first week. 2/3rds of Children of Mana's sales came after the first week. So... that's usually the pattern with RPGs, but most of the DS RPGs seem to be more closely following the DS-game-in-general pattern which is to last longer than just a few weeks.
We'll see if that holds true for FF3, though I think it will. And I think it'll have more than 200k first week, too.
NintendosBooger said:
Because these relics as you call them have made and continue to make (largely) consistently good games that appeal to consumers in large numbers. When that stops, the reliance will stop.
NintendosBooger said:
Well, that's very good, too, though it's not a replacement for the larger third party developers, just a supplement. And to varying degrees, all three of the hardware makers are doing exactly what you ask for. Microsoft's supporting a bunch of these -- mainly in the form of funding big-name ex-corporate designers who've felt too constricted previously (like Gooch or Miz), and in the form of XBLA. Nintendo's got their fund supporting Skip, Camelot, Brownie Brown, and an assortment of other weird little developers. And so on.
In defense of the Sony side, that's somewhat a contradiction. I agree the future can't easily be predicted--which is why it's too early to say that Wii will take over in Japan. Personally, I think it will, but that's just a hunch; the "evidence" to suggest so is only the DS' success, which is in somewhat a different market than Wii anyway.Lapsed said:

Apologies for the late reply, as well as setting up a couple of websites I've also been graduating this week so have been absent from my computer for a while...
Firstly, let's dispel the myth about the original Magical Vacation- whilst not a major hit it did well over the xmas of 2001 with around 265k total from a 62k first week:
http://www.vgcharts.org/japgamewk.php?name=Magical+Vacation
The sequel is a major disappointment.
The original Valkyrie Profile did 310k on the way to 640k. I can't see the sequel doing as well (280k > 65k > 30k) maybe 450k total, but still not bad.
http://www.vgcharts.org/japgamewk.php?name=Valkyrie+Profile
New SMB is still doing the business, not pulling nicely ahead of Pokemon Fr/Lg in a similar timeframe, and making 3m look pretty much a certainty at this stage, 3.5-4m quite possible.
http://www.vgcharts.org/japcomp.php?name1=New+Super+Mario+Bros&name2=Pokemon+Fire+Red+%2F+Leaf+Green
And finally, Children of Mana creeps past Sword of Mana, longer legs despite a much lower start:

Well I too have been playing with JpGraph with some beautifully elegant results.
For example, comparing the performance of the DS and GBA to date in terms of hardware we have:
http://www.vgcharts.org/japconscomps.php?name1=DS&name2=PS2&type=2
And clicking the various options you can also do similar comparisons for weekly figures, as well as weekly and cumulative software figures (although bear in mind these still contain gaps at present).
I have also created versions of our beloved pacman charts for both the weekly and yearly data, 2006 is looking like:

Can you answer to those accusations and will that affect the integrity of your website? It might be a good idea to put up an FAQ on that issue in particular so people here won't use it as a way to disquality numbers from your site it the dicussion ever evolved into that direction. Knowing GAF, discrediting your work would probably be high on people's list if they don't like your numbers.
