Me too. I would love to see it break even the 600k barrier.

Dunno, but there is now a good chance Nintendo will make more DLC in the future. And that's good.
It's got 500k by the end of the year no problem. Can it go another 100k and get 600? No idea. I'd guess not, but this is a once in a lifetime franchise resurgance we have here.
So if I'm not mistaken we're in week 24 of Vita in Japan. This is the week in 3DS's life when the price drop was announced. I don't see Sony announcing a price drop next week, but wouldn't that be funny?
Well, next week is E3 ... good time for a worldwide price drop announcement!

Looks like Vita has established its rhythm.

Here's Mario Kart since N64 in general:
MKDS is 214 and MK7 is 5347, but it's almost impossible to see it by itself since its line has been so close to MK Wii (2854).

From last week's MC thread:
About UMvC3 Vita, the percentage doesnt really mean that much because the initial shipment was so low to begin it. If it sells 60% or 80%, the difference is only a few thousand copies. It might have mattered more if it was a super niche game, but that isnt the case with UMvC3 Vita. Naturally everyone wants to sell as much as possible, but it doesnt make a big impact on Capcom if UMvC3 Vita sells i.e 15k or 20k in Japan.
There was some discussion about this quite some time ago, but i cant quite remember all of it. It was said that there is a mix between how many pre-orders the stores takes/expect to sell and something to do with publishers too. But i dont remember which expectations that weigh in the most, how much the stores orders or what the publishers think.

listen to the mad man
Game of the year being released this week. I'd say it'd be a pretty safe guess that we're looking at 3-4 million sales week one, heading towards a lifetime of 8-9 million.
I don't get the joke.
I suppose he's referring to Tokyo Jungle.
Something about pandas having sex? That's next week though.I don't get the joke.

Loli dragon and characters like this:
That probably isn't the sole reason, but I really think the character designs are a big factor.
I don't get the joke.
Wait until you hear mine.

You are part of the problem. -_- I want Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn's artist back.
hey, i just said i preferred the older style! ask boney & co. how much i bitched about the change.
Good luck with that. After these sales, FE is going to look like this for a loooong time.
I'm ok with it as the actual art is pretty good (the cover for the game is gorgeous), but it's definitely aiming for a certain shounen manga/anime audience and that audience provided the needed sales to boost FE's popularity.

There's no turning back, is there?

it's time to accept it.
while still bitching about it every chance you get.
Why wouldn't you count Kingdom Hearts as a new IP??
disney & final fantasy related stuff.

Embrace it. It's glorious.

I've heard things about you, so that is not surprising.
Nothing glorious about pandering.
Oh, but there is. When you're on the side that's being pandered to.
I'm still waiting for this.

MKDS is 214 and MK7 is 5347, but it's almost impossible to see it by itself since its line has been so close to MK Wii (2854).
I've done one with only the last two portable ones. The line is more visible. Also, it follow almost the same shape. :O
PS: Wow, NeoGaf really have trouble to keep itself up these days. O_O

Wow at Dragon's Dogma. Capcom really has the Japanese audience's attention when it comes to RPGs, it's a shame they don't make more.

Hot damn at Dragon's Dogma, that's one hell of a debut for a new IP. That should sail past 500k in a few weeks, easily. Not sure it'll reach seven figures, but it might come close by the end of the year.
And yeah, Dem Legs on Fire Emblem. 500k by end of gen, hell, I expect 500k by the end of the year, if not earlier. 400k will happen next week, and clearly Nintendo's finally Figured Out DLC, as evidenced by the post on page 2. If Reggie doesn't announce Awakening at E3 next week I'm going to have an aneurysm.
Also Femmeworth you and I can share The Saddest Broknuckles. A few of the Awakening designs do drive me nuts.

They'll be riding dat burn all the way to the bank!
I agree.
That's way too optimistic. Unless the game has massive legs, it won't get close to a million in its lifetime. 500k is possible but it's a bit early to say it's a sure lock. We'll get a better idea of how the sales will hold next week though.
Haha wat?
MC numbers :
[NDS] Dragon Quest Monsters Joker (Square-Enix) - 593,994 (launched in the last week of december)
[NDS] Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 (Square Enix) - 623.643 (Launched at the end of April)
Famitsu has DQM:J launching with 633,084 and DQM:J2 with 682,014.
DQMJ reached a million in its fifth week but I think it had supplies issue, and DQMJ2 got there in its fourth week.
Very excited to see how Terry's Wonderland performs
