Oh JJS, I noticed alot of the games in your database are missing launch prices, if you can give me a list of them all, I'd be glad to help you update it.
Here's what the game search returns for games with prices of -1 to 0. 0 are unknown; mostly stuff that didn't make Top 30 lists. -1 are a very few from some 2000-ish Top 30s where it just plain said they were open price.BishopLamont said:Oh JJS, I noticed alot of the games in your database are missing launch prices, if you can give me a list of them all, I'd be glad to help you update it.
TreIII said:According to the interview with the producer of the game months ago, Tatsunoko came to THEM, and asked if they would make a game starring their characters. Not the other way around.
In the end, whatever arrangement was made, I'm sure it was such that Capcom was able to probably get the Tatsu properties for cheap.
So, everything about TvC was indicative of it being a budget release. Therefore, the numbers that were obtained were probably "fine" by Capcom's expectations for the game, no matter how much GAF may cry "bomba". :lol
Flying_Phoenix said:Really. Well now that I look at the graphics and animation in the game I'm not really all that surprised. Now it makes sense why Capcom barely pushed it.
JoshuaJSlone said:Well, it's not like 2D fighters are huge anywhere. If I've just released one that didn't do what I hoped in Japan, my first thought probably isn't "But of course the Americans will eat it up!"

PantherLotus said:Sony has seen the biggest drop, selling 200k PS3s in the same time it sold 340k last year, a 40.68% drop. Nintendo has also seen a significant drop in sales, selling 360k Wii systems compared to 576k in 2007, 37.76% less than 2007 totals.
It's been a while since this post, but in case you still care, my comparison was of year-to-date for 2008 versus 2007; his were of the respective holiday periods (so far).Jokeropia said:
I'd say so. 2009 only needs to do about half of 2008 for it to happen. What a year. In summer 2007 there was an argument about whether it could do it by 2010. I tried to produce an example of how it could do so by the end of 2010 using past sales and assuming a certain percentage drop per year, and I thought that was stretching plausibility. I ended up allowing 2010's holiday to spike more than 2009's to make the math work. :lolSimpleDesign said:So I guess it's safe to say the Xbox 360 will finally pass 1 million next year?
If I was facing off against HK-47 I'd be scared too.Flying_Phoenix said:The versus series has been around over a decade...let's just try avoiding getting into an arguement.

Nintendo DSi sales pass 1 million.
- DS sold around 262k last week.Code:Hardware Release LTD Sales Nintendo DSi 2008/11/01 1,062,416 Nintendo DS Lite 2006/03/02 17,348,252 Nintendo DS 2004/12/02 6,449,206 Total 24,859,874
(DSi = 214k / DSL = 48k)
Assuming the regular 150K weeks of 2006 and 2007 don't return, that seems a bit of a stretch. DS will probably end this year at less than 4 million. If there's then no yearly drop, it would still take well into 2012--nearly twice as far from DS launch as we are now.cw_sasuke said:So 40Mil LTD are possible for the DS family ?

JoshuaJSlone said:So I looked at the Garaph numbers, and (pulling a LanceStern) have arbitrarily decided to count an eventual 250K LTD as a "big game". I then measure the days between releases of 250K games as the drought period. Then I specifically make a note of periods longer than 50 days for a further look. Now I'll list some notables.

Just wondering. Thanks.
Seconded.schuelma said:I vote for B
Linkup said:No, 2D fighters aren't really huge anywhere except Brawl. Two things, one isn't the number of wii owners in US/EU much larger than Japan and two hasn't most of the core titles on wii done better outside of Japan? Then there is also no arcades for this outside of Japan and ripping out the Tatsunoko characters wouldn't cost much, neither should translating it. Advertising this like SSBB and featuring Ryu, Chun-Li, Viewtiful Joe, Megaman etc on ads. If they wanted to actually put some money into it they could add some SF4 characters and call it SF4 Wii Edition, though I think they would have to change lots of stuff then. I don't know, I thought something like this advertised to the nintendo fans could do well and probably show some legs.
