PS3 has many strong sellers for the rest of the year. It will be a distant second for software after 3DS but very far from the remaining "competition".
Just chiming in here, but orioto's french, and for us it's a very common short for "japanese" (most often as an adjective, and not necessarily for people. You'd use that for a console for instance - hence the lack of capitalization)) with absolutely no negative connotation. Consequently, a lot of french people wouldn't know that it can be offensive.

I'm expecting Nintendo to money hat DQXI on WiiU and Sony to do the same for P5 on Vita, both exclusives.
I seriously doubt DQ is a franhise that is open for moneyhats...
P5 being on Vita wouldn't be much of a surprise, P4G did damn good and the Vita is healthier now than it was when it released.

DQXI will probably go to the 3DS.

What would people put the odds of DQXI at for not being a 3DS game? Like 5% at most?

Neither of these things will happen.
DQXI will be a 3DS game. It was obvious from the beginning and it doesn't worth discussing it anymore after so many DQ titles on the platform.

I thought it'd be a lock and I still feel there's been too much watering the ground for a mainline DQ (Slime Mori Mori -> DMQ1r -> DQVIIr -> DQM2r) for it not to be a 3DS title but then I have to also remind myself that DQ became an MMORPG and that anything can happen given where Square-Enix is today.
P5 Vita will most likely happen. It'd just probably be the usual portable version afterwards.

Yeah i realized soon after i posted it the ps3 was in a different league than the dead consoles/failures
Yes Atlus will sacrifice their biggest seller to Vita. I guess it's slightly more likely than Dragon Quest 360

I think the gap is probably too big, neither console has anything really big for August but vita has a couple more releases so it's pretty much a wash there at best for wiiu.
September probably favors Vita with sen kiseki but it's multi with ps3 and again not much else for either console so the gap wont change much.
October will Favor WiiU with zelda hd and wiiu party but I think the former is hard to judge. Console Zelda has fallen off a bit in Japan but it is a rereleae of one of the more popular ones. Vita has Dangan Ronpa which seems to have benefited from the anime.
November will favor Vita with God Eater 2 vs basically nothing for WiiU. Even if Tropical Freeze suddenly gets a release date for nov that just evens the scale a bit.
Dec is hugely in favour of WiiU with Mario and even though i think it will bomb theres wiifit which will at least sell more than zero. Vita has literally nothing dated for dec.
Like somone just said there will be some more announcements likely for the end of year. There are a couple of reasonable vita games announced but without dates (jump and gundam) and it's possible that both donkey kong and mario olympics still make it for this year. However with what we currently know as actually dated stuff it seems unlikely for WiiU to sell more software this year.
Basically with what we know as the current lineups for both systems the gap is likely to be similar or eve slightly more in favor of vita when december rolls around. 750k+ for mario is a big ask for one month

I really don't get this line of thinking at all, especially for Japan where 3D Land sold incredibly well.
Not that I think P5 will be a Vita game but it's not like P4 Golden bombed or anything. Atlus shipped 260k in September in Asia + ~90k copies have been sold at retail in US.
They've probably have shipped over 400k worldwide.

I think so, DS2 had a pretty good anime that ended a little while ago

Oh, you just don't use proper punctuation at all, then. My bad, I guess.
pieatorium
Member
proper punctuation or not there is no other way to understand that sentence if you actually read it the whole way through
Carpe Libertatem
Member
I don't think you understand what the purpose of punctuation is.
But again, I've said it was my bad (mostly a result of the lack of punctuation and fast reading). No need for you to get overly defensive!

P5 being on Vita is perfectly viable option given the userbase and what sells on the Vita.
If anything it's the best option after PS3.
WiiU version would tank and it being on the 3DS is more than questionable if Catherine was the test waters for their new engine.
Still going with PS3 and later P5Portable on the Vita.

I understand (perfectly) what the purpose is! I, was just pointing' out That the sentence. would not Make any sense if the comment on bombing wasn't related? To Wii Fit U rather than to mario

I never said Persona 5 being on Vita wasn't viable. I said Atlus isn't sacrficing their biggest seller in the next couple of years exclusively to Vita. And with Vita's non existant presence in the west it certainly isn't happening. Maybe PS3/Vita if Sony ponied up some money. If not either it will come to consoles and get a vita port later if its still around.
pieatorium

at best vita gets multi with ps3(or4 heeh) but i even think that is unlikely. Smarter to do the console release then a year later the portable, bigger chance of double dipping.

You missed my edit =p
But yeah Persona 5GportableFES whatever will hit at some point. I do wonder if atlus has considered bringing Golden to PS3 in prep for 5.
Wow, I didn't even know it came out.

P5 should be on Vita as well, it won't stop them from releasing the Golden version anyway, people will buy the game twice, especially because Atlus will definitely have an anime airing by the time they release the Golden version.
Twice the profit, and we know Sony is pushing for PS3/PSV.

Add Mario Golf to the list. We should see something Pokemon related, probably a remake.
Hopefully an Advance Wars game.

This is the Japanese sales thread, silly.
Unless it's Advance Wars Academy with waifus and husbandos.

Did it actually ?
Companies seem to be throwing those visual novels selling 10-20k all the time on the market.
Dragon's Crown's total shipment, including sales from the download version, is now over 300K.

So if it can exceed 400k it will become Atlus' best selling title in Japan. Holy shit.
Ignition's most successful game is the one they didn't get to release.
I wouldn't use the term "pretty good" when speaking about the anime, they kinda screwed up the release date of the game too, we haven't got any news since the delay no ?
If by "pretty good" you mean "fucking awful", then yeah.
Compared to the Dangan-Ronpa anime it's pretty good, at least it was enjoyable to me.
Comparing the poop from a sick dog and the poop from a sick cat doesn't really mean much.

This will bomb terribly, won't it?
Why isn't Nintendo hiring Treasure to make a 3DS game in the style of Sin & Punishment or Gunstar Heroes? Oh wait, it's because none of you fuckers bought S&P2.
Will this go the way of Gyrozetter or Youkai Watch?
