So they're giving SS for 1000y if you aren't a Plus subscriber and giving it away if you have the subscription. Isn't that going to hurt SS Delta sales in the short term?

What the fuck, no need to call me out on things I don't do. First off, I don't often make such bets and secondly I've only lost once. When I lost the person I lost to insisted that I don't change my avatar (as that was the bet) despite me offering too. Please don't accuse me of shit I don't do, I'm true to my word. If it does hit 55,000 average per week over an 8 week period then I will pay up.

False accusations against other members are at least frowned upon, I'd ask that you either get evidence or remove this comment. You probs won't get banned if you don't obviously, but I'd ask kindly you remove it. Unless you do actually have evidence?

The blog says Dark Souls II 80% sellthrough with a possible new shipment for the weekend.
:)

first day sellthrough {2014.03.13}

[PS3] Dark Souls II - 80%
[PSV] Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds [Limited Edition] - 40%

Rabbids Land hoping for weekend:
[3DS] Super Man Ultra Baseball: Action Card Battle
[3DS] Kuma-Mon Bomber: Puzzle de Kuma-Mon Taisou
 
On google trends, PS4 peaked at about double Wii U search interest around their respective launches. Gives a glimmer of hope for ongoing sales.

DQX compares better with FFXIV than I expected. 300k to 500k daily.

Does DQX still have free to play hours everyday? Did XIV ever employ that?

I think that's how video games are played in Hell.

Why would someone want to play it like that? That is terrible.

I'm pretty sure it still does and I doubt XIV has that. Though I know nothing and am just talking from gut.

Well I'm assuming that since Dragon Quest is a more kid friendly franchise and the free hours are for kids.

The DQX FAQ still has it, and it's updated for the mobile thingy, so yes Kids Time should still exist.

Stupid me for not reading the thread carefully :/
Sorry for being thickheaded

Well no need to be sorry, that's the 'danger' in (partially) incorrect info getting posted, you can't possibly read every post in every thread.

That would have been one hell of a deal though, if it looks too good to be true, it most likely isn't true.

Kids Time is the only time I get to play the game anymore, it's just enough time to get something done - level up a class, do a quest etc. It's a fantastic feature.

sinobi didn't give sales targets for next week's titles, we are in dark for eveything and what publishers expect.

I'll ask again for anyone who lives in Japan:

Have you checked prices for brand new MH4? Famitsu doesn't seem to agree with Capcom for unsold stock and I see big discounts at amazon.

What the fuck.

How could anyone look at that UI, say "yeah, that's acceptable" and then proceed to release the game in this state?

Because this is done on the cheap and reworking the UI would cost too much time and effort on S-E's part.

If that's Hell I'm definitely going to be as nice as Ned Flanders from now on. Holy shit, I'm predicting that service will close in less than a year if playing is as awkward as it looks.

They should have released a 3DS port before trying to do that.

Remember the target audience guys. This is so bored people on the train can check the Auction House and maybe get some crafting in. I doubt they expect much grotto running or raiding or whatnot on the Cellphone client.

Having said that, I'd pay good money to see someone try to play that. My fingers hurt just looking at it.

This is not like that auction house app World of Warcraft has. You have to pay a fee to play on smartdevices. I think it was something like 350 yens for 3 days and 600 yens for 10 days. I don't think anybody will pay 1800 yens a month to have access to an auction house and other side stuff.

Oops - sorry - I did

Seems the brand new game is still sitting mainly around the 4800-5400 price depending where you go - but - second hand deals are down around 3600 yen though

Even the 80% sellthrough, there's no sign of sold out, so the second shipment really came.

I'll ask again for anyone who lives in Japan:

Yamada Denki has the game a little cheaper (but that's normal for Nintendo games, Mario Kart costs 3.600 yen there).
Download code normal price:

Not discount for Bic Camera. (Youkai Watch in stock in both shops).
E38D0880-8CB4-4CF1-9D2F-A3E66F89EBAC_zps8c1nvxhk.jpg


So the game hasn't visited the bomba bins yet. But it will when 4G will be released.

Finally, PS4 sold out again in Bic Camera. The dream is real.

I was going to post something similar.

Right after Chris posted the 80% sellthrough I went to check Yodobashi's status page and DS2 was in stock at every store. Thought it was kinda strange.

I think they'll go with a 4.7-5'' 720p screen because of how abundant they are thanks to smartphone manufacturers. Would that be considered crappy just because 1080p screens exist? Also remember that the 3DS' PPI was comparable to that of the iPhone released a year prior to the system's announcement.

Sorry for the late reply.

If Nintendo go for a 5" 720p screen for their next handheld I would be over the moon with that. I'm not greedy I just want decent image quality in 2014 :p.

To keep my post on topic I'm expecting 30k for PS4 this week.

There hasn't been a best release of MH4 yet, right? Seems like a wasted opportunity.
