Which is exactly why they didn't do a pricecut in the west. Because they've essentially given up there arent going to blow money when they have no software that would sell even on the level of Senran Kagura there.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Interesting figures.
Wii U rise.
Vita neither as good as the best expectations or as bad as the worst expectations.
3DS still dominating.

Now I'm totally sure no game will ever reach Animal Crossing: New Leaf in this generation. And yes, not even Pokémon X / Y.

This is why I said in the other thread that DBH's debut is way too high. It's the best debut for a Dragon Ball game since 4 years ago, and the second best debut in the last 5 years. With a card game going at 18fps. Lol.

It's amazing.
New Leaf will lose some ground when Wild World had the Golden Week, but then it's having its own Golden Week. At this point, we can expect a week at +100k between April and May. 4mln may come soone than we expected.

Well, there's this:
Looking at the sales data, they haven't had a real big seller for quite a while. I guess they could go selling ~200-400k LTD for their titles but it doesn't look like anything will break the 500k barrier. Maybe Ni No Kuni 2?
I don't really have much confidence in Level 5's design by committee media mix franchise projects anymore. It worked really well when the DS was a new platform and they were sort of trailblazers in that area, but since then they haven't really shown that they're able to keep up at all with changing trends and consumer habits.
Level 5 really needs to innovate beyond their comfort zone, because doing the same stuff over and over doesn't seem to be working anymore. Fantasy Life is a good example of something which is pretty different, and it seems to have good word of mouth despite lower expectations initially. Yokai Watch is just going to compared to Layton and Inazuma Eleven, and when it doesn't do as well people will compare it with Little Battlers. Or it could do even worse and that'll be a clear indication that like Gundam AGE, Level 5 has pissed all the goodwill away in this sector.
How is that fair? The Vita is no where near the 3DS. Animal Crossing seems like it can sustain them for quite a while.

Looking at DW8's decline I sort of wonder where Koei's going to go with Musou. The franchise failed to really get much/any traction on 3DS, Vita or Wii U, it's not even releasing on 360 half the time now, and PS3 is declining pretty quickly. I'm sort of expecting a PS4 shift, but still doubt if that'll really help reverse things.
Dragon Quest MMO and Game & Wario. RE: Revelations in May. Think that's it.
It's even scarier when you think that actual sales are much higher since direct downloads from eShop aren't counted. Right now, Animal Crossing: New Leaf is at more than 3.500.000 copies sold. It's fucking scary. It's like Son of the Mask.
They kind of killed it with the shortages though. It could have been a pretty good hit and now it's just a solid seller that was way too long in development.
It's also doesn't strike me as the kind of game you can milk. And Level 5 loves milking. A lot.

Definitely not DQ11. AC is poised to go over 5 million and MH4 would have to show growth from portable 3rd to do it which I'm not sure is going to happen. I think Pokemon will easily match it though.
Do we have info on direct downloads being 500k?
Every new game in the series sold less than the previous one despite the growing user base. Even on the DS there s huge drop (~200k or ~25%) between the 3rd and 4th instalment so I think it's safe to say people are tired of Layton or rather they want new a new formula.

Big missed opportunity if Nintendo has nothing for Wii U during GW. Seriously, its easiest cash besides Christmas/NY.
Yeah maybe not DQXI, but I definitely wouldn't count out MH4 or Pokemon.
New IPs rely on the legs rather than first few weeks of sales, so the shortages won't matter much. DLC is the new milking for franchises that don't warrant yearly sequels, L5 should get on it.
lunchwithyuzo

That's all that's dated, though we can probably expect Pikmin 3, Wii Fit U and/or Wonderful 101 in Q2.
I think they're making the right moves with regards to Fantasy Life though. There's a DLC expansion coming later this year, and I'll be surprised if they don't re-release the game itself as well around that time. Depending on how well the manage the actual content in the game and keep fans satisfied, I think there is potential for it to be an infrequent but regular (maybe once every 2 years?) series, with more built in DLC hooks for each game to expand post-release.

Youkai Watch will be the anti-Pokémon. And it might work. Not expecting 2mln units, of course. Also, the only cross-project they had on DS was Inazuma Eleven, that started to succeed in 2009, and the DS was not exactly a new platform.
Fantasy Life is succeeding also because no one thought it could have done so good. Chris1964 said just before the release "good luck with that" pointing out a true bomb. It wasn't. This shows that Level-5 have still something to say with their new IPs. Layton and Inazuma Eleven are just cheap cash-ins now, and their existence is nothing but good for the comany (also, Inazuma Eleven is growing in some European countries).
Let's see if they can find some stability on 3DS. LBX was missmanaged also because it had some kind of success on a dying platform.

a port of a MMO won't set the charts on fire.. don't know about Game & Wario. And I am curious what a multiplatform port like RE:R could do on Wii U.
I don't know man. The allure of a brand new, fully 3D Pokemon could draw a lot of people in.

Make that even more because of the download sales not shown here. It's a monster. Hopefully Nintendo understands why the game is so loved and realizes they need to take their time with these games. Animal Crossing was delayed almost a whole year.
I think New Leaf has already passed Wild World's 1st year when including DD sales.

Even if Monster Hunter 4 could replicate the amazing performance of Monster Hunter Portable 3rd which is extremely unlikely, that wouldn't be enough at all to outsell Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Animal Crossing: New Leaf looks poised to even cross the 6 million mark when all is said and done, over 5 million is already a lock.
Regarding Dragon Quest XI, not even Dragon Quest IX could reach 4.5 million units.

Well, RER should be interesting in that it's the first day-and-date multiplatform release for Japan afaik (overloooking the fact it's a 3DS port). I wouldn't expect much though, probably slightly better than 360 sales / a small fraction of PS3 sales.
Game & Wario might surprise though. It's not exactly WarioWare, but that's still probably the closest link and that series has done fairly well on consoles before (400k GC, 650k Wii).

No, it's going to drop, how much it drops it dependent on how big Tales and SS end up becoming.
