Right.
It is possible RE7 is a late 2015 title. RE4 --> RE5 took 3.5 years and since RE6 came mid 2012 it fits that time constraint.

I believe Revelations was 2013. 6, Operation Raccoon City, and Chronicles Collection were 2012.
EDIT: Whoops, thought you meant 3 releases on one system. You're right.
As already stated in last weeks thread and also by Aostia in the very same page you posted, it is pretty much impossible to compensate the sales of the past 9 months. It would need to sell ~3.4million units in less than 3 months, for reference there was no system that sold that much in a period of three consecutive months, neither PS2, Wii nor NDS managed to achieve this in Japan. A further coincidential comparison and to put the number in some kind of perspective is the fact that this number would be more than PSVs current lifetime sales.
For Capcom they want games out faster in general so predicting earlier than later is probably safer.
Sorry by conference I meant investor conference call.
At this point I'm not sure if Level 5 will hold a 2014 event.

Yeah, I definitely agree with the 2015 prediction. I'm hoping that it'll be announced by early next year, but that might be too optimistic.
Interesting.
If FFXV makes it for 2015 as well then that will make 2015 one hell of a year.
why is this conversation even happenings? i thought it was obvious he was talking about home consoles. unless i missed something.

We will be lucky if FFXV doesn't end up on the PlayStation 5. 2015 seems overly ambitious.
so it will probably enter the Top 10, right?
I do wonder if the movie will sustain it also after the Holidays
Worldwide is questionable but holiday 2015 for Japan seems likely imo.
I wonder. If Capcom is focusing on quicker production, doesn't it go against that line of thinking? In between statements of missing sales goals and being Capcom's third best selling title ever, I'm honestly not sure whether they want to repeat the development of that game.
I don't think so. PS4 install base probably will be low for this launch.

You're right. The install base will most likely be smaller than the launch week sales of FFXIII by then,
It seems that FFXIII diminished the brand popularity, and so maybe they don't even need more than two million consoles in the wild to meet its ultimate sales potential.
Honestly, RE6 would have been a better game had it been more focused and less money was thrown at it.
This will be well after Bloodborne, MGSV, Uncharted 4, Persona 5, Dragon Quest Heroes and many other games come out though.
And they aren't going to sit on the game forever just waiting for a huge install base in Japan. The game is also very highly anticipated in the rest of the world as well.

We only say its likely sine the demo is coming out in March and we're using 13 as a precedent. We never know with SE.
Imagine if MGSV, RE7 and FFXV all coming out in one holiday. Dat Japanese trifiecta of next gen goodness.

proud of you vita
Kirby getting all the love it deserved.
And Sad day for Kinki no Magna considering it have been keep coming out on Ninty Direct there. Hope there will be a good mouth to mouth experience there.
That's why I'm hoping this happens, a return to the glory days even if for just a year would be amazing.
I'm not sure PS3 is really much worse off today than it was 10 months ago in Japan software wise. Actually is Vita any healthier today either? Looking at TGS it's demise can't that far off either, it might even share PS3's casket.
He said the Japanese game market is irrelevant. I don't think it's obvious to everyone that the Japanese market is fine, it's just consoles which are struggling.

At this rate its gonna do 4M at the least, how much more is the question.
PS3 software down, PSP down, Vita up, chris or road posted it recently.sörine;133440341 said:
I think at that point, they would just get the digital instead of a Wii U and a game.
Was reading a Japanese blog last weekend (some guy somehow had insider info early, down to the exact numbers), but the consensus is that the audience for this sorta game simply isn't moving onto the PS4.
On the other hand, IF have never really sold well locally anyway. If less than 10K hits the 40-60% sellthrough point, I don't think they had that high expectations anyway. They seem to always turn a profit no matter how weak the sales. These guys are low budget super niche and they know it.
Or maybe I'm just spouting nonsense.

I weep for Bayonetta 2. To me, that game selling poorly in Japan is akin to a new open world Rockstar game selling 50K in the first week in North America.
Not really. Platinum games have never been huge sellers in Japan. And it's even worse for their Wii U exclusives. After what happened with W101 those Bayonetta 2 numbers aren't surprising.

Hmm, might just be me but I'm fairly sure general software sales where higher on PS3/V before and after Christmas, even if you ignore the usual holiday rush that is.
But yes, no matter how much I love my Vita and Japanese software it seems likely that those two might just go the way of the Dodo
Its Japan, so let's forget Uncharted 4.
I don't see potential in this list to increase significantly PS4 instal base, also considering that Persona 5, DQ Heroes, Yakuza 0 and Phantom Pain are cross gen.
Unless other big tittles are schedule for 2015, PS4 install base probably will be low for a main Final Fantasy debut.
What?
They aren't going to hold on to the game for years until the system gets a decent Japanese install base.
Final Fantasy is a global brand.
Kind of strange to see no one even talking about the Wii U now. I remember reading before September people talking about publishers potentially moving from PS3 >Wii U due to the PS4 sales.
Curious to see how much Smash Bros 3DS affects the impact of the Wii U version and the hardware sales.
It's not as bad as you think it is.
Uncharted 3: 184k
The Last of Us: 236k
U4 will be a pretty decent filler game for the audience.
What is a system seller?

I know, but Japan sales are a very important piece.
And honestly the west reception for Final Fantasy XV is very uncertain at this point, after the whole Final Fantasy XIII saga fiasco.

If the 3DS even reaches 3M total this year, that'd still be great, as that'd be close to doubling the year's sales, and especially if this carries over into some strong hardware momentum in 2015 (as in not too much of a decline). We'll see how the new 3DS debuts, but with Smash's and YW2's continued strong sales, along with the introduction of MH4G and Pokemon ORAS, I think it has a great shot of at least doing really well these next couple months.
In the meantime, everything else is dead T_T... Mario Kart 8 keeps trucking along to a smaller extent all things considered.
the strange hold of the normal models have two possible explanation.
or people can't resist to Smash, or people are not so interested or informed about the Nrevision coming
My man Dave watches good shit.

PS4 and Wii U still in the dumps. Omega Quintet bombed but that's not unexpected I think. Bayonetta 2's sales are tapering off as one would expect. Smash is showing strong legs. XB1 barely clinging to 4 digits. Maybe next week on Media Create, a couple weeks on Famitsu? 3DS sales seem fine for an impending hw refresh. Vita sales seem to have lessened. The Legend of Heroe games seem to have large drops
I feel like it was smash and yokai that kept the 3ds above the teens in sales.
The ads have been prominent right? If so, the general public should know enough about it.

Or people that are buying the 3DS right now are not interested in the revision, but many people will nonetheless.
It was obvious he was talking for everything.

When does Driveclub launch in Japan? And I assume most people expect it to not do too well right? I'm not sure what would be good for it in Japan though. Maybe I'll dig out Motorstorm numbers or something to compare
Out now in Japan.
Motorstorm numbers (by Japanltdrank, so Famitsu)
Motorstorm {2006.12.14} - 12,806 / 59,627
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift {2008.11.20} - 6,500 / 21,121
Motorstorm: Arctic Edge {2009.11.01} - 590 / 5,349
