Dat Tokyo Jungle

 

[watershed]

With a 93% ST rate the week before I imagine DQM had some supply issues this week.

 

[mclem]

Fuck the trinity. Get Fire Emblem back up there.

Hopefully it's not far away, but this might be it expiring. Still, even if it is on the way out, it's had a great run.

 

[cw_sasuke]

SE/Retailers never learn - FF3,DQM, DQM Terrys Wonderland 3D, i really wonder how much sales they lose every time they under ship those titles. They know they will be big but still choose to not order enough or manufacture enough.

Hope it legs wont get cut short by Black/White 2.

 

[slaughterking]

Could be that DQM will follow a very similar pattern that FFIIIr did.

[Mpl90]

Sincerly, seeing Tokyo Jungle first is awesome in so many ways.

 

[Erethian]

Famitsu says strong start for Tokyo Jungle and slow start for Gundam.

Tokyo Jungle could be somewhere close to 100k.

Gundam doesn't surprise me, cause the Battle series has been in decline for a while. Not that being on Vita helps.

 

[Exterminieren]

DQM looks to be very supply constrained, then.

Square Enix probably should get more copies out there fast; if it takes another 2 weeks to get stock to acceptable levels, it'll get steamrollered by Black and White 2.

Have we heard any more about Black and White 2 preorders? I know they were steady with Black and White preorders a month or two ago, but I was wondering whether they'd lagged behind yet.

 

[walking fiend]

Are there any reports hinting whether DQ has been supply-restrained?
Did they manage eventually to restock to meet demand or is it just a steep drop-off?

at least from what I see on Amazon, none of the stores with prices below 6,000 have it in stock.

btw, can someone look into the second and third user review? it seems they have some major problems with the game, thanks.

With a 93% ST rate the week before I imagine DQM had some supply issues this week.

Well, then they'd better restock asap in order to meet my predictions , I bet on over 1 million in 4-5 weeks' lapse and with this week's pace it will not sell that quickly, still I hope it may benefit from Pokemon B&W2.

[electroplankton]

Wow, abysmal sales indeed.

 

[twentytwo22]

Not to be "that guy", but Gravity Daze had at least 30,000 in digital sales so I wonder if the other games are also going at around a 2.5/1 retail/download rate. Makes the numbers look a little better, but still horrible.

And both people criticizing DQMTW is due to the fact that you need WiFi to get certain rare monsters and you can't get certain rare monsters without pulling data in from the previous game.

 

[Takao]

Famitsu says strong start for Tokyo Jungle and slow start for Gundam.

Tokyo Jungle could be somewhere close to 100k.

Wow, PlayStation C.A.M.P. finally comes through with a hit.

 

[donny2112]

Still, to make 60K in sales, approximately 1 in every 11 Vita owners in Japan will have to pick up the game week 1.

More than that, as some will be buying digitally. How much more? *shrugs*

 

[electroplankton]

Persona 4 could also debut with around 100k, but the problem is that it will be highly supply constrained since it doesn't have a nice installed base to rely upon.

 

[cw_sasuke]

I would be surprised if P4 sells less than 100k first week - its a hardcore title and probably the biggest Vita title so far.

Wow Vita got a mighty bump.

 

[Kazerei]

Looks like Gundam gave Vita a bump. Amazing sales for Tokyo Jungle.

 

[mclem]

Gundabump lives!

 

[Alrus]

Very low second week for DQM, I guess it's supply constrained.

 

[test_account]

EDIT: Moved my reply to the other MC thread instead.

 

[Takao]

Gundam on Vita outsold the Gundam 3DS game easily. Wat.

 

[djtiesto]

Would be hysterical if DQM 3DS outsells DQX...

Spoiler

I hope so!

Anything else would be a suprise.
