I'm looking forward to Dragon's Crown sales myself.

Lots of good stuff next month

 

[Nirolak]

Middle of what?

Presumably the four numbers given.

 

[Mileena]

ed4 ~ 32k

Best selling game in the franchise, lol.

*plays mariold*

I bet that demo turned a lot of people off. I love RPGs and was set to buy it till I played that demo, but the atrocious animu character models did it no favors either.

 

[SuperBonk]

Injustice legs seem to be better than MK9's. Then again, it might just appear that way because of the dry release schedule.

Still, it's got to be over a million at this point, or at least close to it.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

Presumably the four numbers given.

So around 60k? Not bad. Not bad at all.

 

[CosmicQueso]

So around 60k? Not bad. Not bad at all.

It would be the third title in your list. In the middle of the list.

Slower start, longer legs. MK more core, higher meta = bigger launch.

 

[grandjedi6]

Um, he said in the middle of the list you quoted so I think he means ~32-36k

 

[Sakura]

So around 60k? Not bad. Not bad at all.

I was thinking he meant in between 36 and 32k.

 

[Jarmel]

So WiiU is DOA until a price drop it seems. If they don't do a price drop for the holidays and new consoles then might as well pack it up. Even then I'm not sure a price drop will save the system.

 

[EdLin]

Pachter pls

Yeah, he wants to compare leading consoles this-gen with previous-gen? He might as well compare the 360 with the PS2 then; the whole industry is "underwhelming" in this way. I hope he doesn't expect things to change for next-gen consoles such as the PS4 or Xbox One, because that trend is going to continue.

 

[Busaiku]

I bet that demo turned a lot of people off. I love RPGs and was set to buy it till I played that demo, but the atrocious animu character models did it no favors either.

The demo probably helped, since it is the best selling in the franchise.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

Ah fuck, I thought it meant in the middle of 92k and 30k.

 

[Coldnoodle]

August has Pikmin 3, Disney Infinity, Madden 25, Dragon's Crown, Mario and Luigi: Dream Team, Black 3DS XL, Tales of Xillia, The Bureau, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Saints Row IV, Killer is Dead and Lost Planet 3 :O

 

[vareon]

The fact that we keep getting EO at a steady pace (that's EO, right!?) is weird.

 

[creamsugar]

Plus ds games

tc:uk ~ 233k
tc:utk2 ~ 88k
smt:ds ~ 61k
eo ~ 35k
eo2 ~ 34k
smt:ds2 ~ 33k
smt:sj ~ 28k
eo3 ~ 22k

 

[SolarPowered]

GameCube never sold below 30,000 units until February 2007.

Poor Wii U

sheesh

 

[Usobuko]

It seems that the only guaranteed bomba relative to budget and publisher expectation is Lost Planet 3.

 

[Yawnier]

Completely stacked compared to last year that had Sleeping Dogs, Darksiders 2 and a few others. August sales results will be very interesting.

Also, there's the $200 PS3.

Wow at the gap between the Trauma Centers.

 

[jetsetrez]

I played around with Minecraft all the way back during the beta or whatever, and I can see the Lego-like appeal of it to an extent, but man.. that game's success never ceases to blow my mind.

And the Wii U situation is neigh incomprehensible.

Also, please make Injustice for PC, Netherealm. I'd love to play that even if only for the story mode fan service.

 

[Usobuko]

Where did wiki get the source for this then? chartz?

Etrian Odyssey sold 33,216 copies in its first week of release. As of July 2013, the game has sold more than 169,000 in the US and more than 304,000 copies worldwide. This makes it the highest selling Etrian Odyssey title to date.

What's that someone?

 

[jj984jj]

The fact that we keep getting EO at a steady pace (that's EO, right!?) is weird.

It's probably because it's a dungeon crawler series with consistent sales. If they go in the new direction Etrian Odyssey Untold is taking with the main series that could possibly change.

 

[RPGamer92]

It would be interesting to see SMT IV's sales had it been $40.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

That there Wii U keeps trucking right along. No stopping it.

 

[zero shift]

Saying that Shin Megami Tensei should be on a "powerful" system (I wouldn't consider almost decade old hardware powerful by any means) is like saying Dragon Quest should be.

There is pretty much nothing the series would have gained by being on the PS3 other than graphics (which is also debatable because that would mean that they would have to ditch the sprites and the 3D effect).

Its a dungeon crawling JRPG, the 3DS is pretty much perfect for it.

What's that someone?

Trauma Center: Under the Knife.

I bet that demo turned a lot of people off. I love RPGs and was set to buy it till I played that demo, but the atrocious animu character models did it no favors either.

I remember being appalled with how terrible the graphics were.

 

[ZeroXZee]

What's that someone?

I think it's LTDs for Atlus games in DS.

Edit: Oh, that two games? I belive it's Trauma Center!
Edit2: Beaten! xD

 

[grandjedi6]

Where did wiki get the source for this then? chartz?

Its the same bullshit number chartz has so probably.

EDIT: Yep, there's someone who keeps updating the "sales figures" every month so it has to be from chartz or the like.

 

[Nirolak]

What's that someone?

Trauma Center.

 

[FreedomFighter]

Thanks, guys.

BTW, I think SMTIV will clear 100k easily. I bet eShop sales are pretty reasonable too.

 

[Sakura]

Where did wiki get the source for this then? chartz?

Looks like it. 169k for the US sounds crazy to me. They also don't have a source for it on Wiki.

 

[Azure J]

Wow, Wii U is in terrible shape.

 

[allan-bh]

creamsugar, can you update the totals for Uncharted, CoD and Assassin's Creed on Vita including bundles ?

 

[sixteen-bit]

Minecraft ... seriously. Don't people have PCs?

Proof positive that physical media ain't dead.

 

[metalslimer]

Wiiu lower than any month of the horrible selling gamecube until freaking 2007 should tell you what the situation is. I can believe anyone thinks wiiu or vita will recover. Without a pricedrop we could theoretically see a sub 100k November as DK isn't pushing a thing. What a disaster.

So we have accurate numbers for Wii U hardware sales yet?

Around 29k.

 

[EternalTruth]

So do we have accurate numbers for Wii U hardware sales yet?
edit: 29K holy sh!t is that worldwide?! What were Nintendo's forecasted units for the year again?!!...

 

[SolarPowered]

Wow, Wii U is in terrible shape.

Needs EA Sports Active and Wii fit.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Without a pricedrop we could theoretically see a sub 100k November as DK isn't pushing a thing. What a disaster.

The crazy things people type when they're upset.

 

[beast786]

Any number on TLOU for the month?

 

[Lumyst]

Around 29k.

Wait, "Gamecube"? "2007"? Those aren't typos? Wow...

edit: Well, hopefully this spurs Nintendo to create fresh, new, awesome software like on the Gamecube seeing that if they want to even get sales to Gamecube levels, that's what it will take, hopefully they'll take the plunge and make new series of games, bring back old neglected series, I can't say I was disappointed with the first party output of the Gamecube.

 

[Raist]

Any number on TLOU for the month?

170k

But to the pin, console optimizations, lack of advertising, etc et al.

Around 29k.

That's a bold claim but at this point I don't have any reason to doubt it

 

[donny2112]

That said they're not dire numbers by any means. GBA would be a solid performance.

GBA smoked DS from launch. No comparison. If 3DS had been doing GBA numbers, it'd be way ahead of DS, right now.

 

[metalslimer]

The crazy things people type when they're upset.

Yeah, im sure someone would have been called crazy if they posted an exact sales future for wiiu last year. I said theoretically meaning i'll wait to see how other games impact wiiu, but if monthly sales are sub 40k going into november it certainly could happen.

 

[Talamius]

I can't believe Nintendo is letting Mario Kart slide to 2014. In the shape Wii U is in, they need all hands on deck to get that game pushed out for the holidays.

 

[Aaron Strife]

That NSMBU is close to selling a million in America is pretty impressive considering Wii U sales are so crummy.

I can't believe Nintendo is letting Mario Kart slide to 2014. In the shape Wii U is in, they need all hands on deck to get that game pushed out for the holidays.

For sure. It'd help a lot more than WWHD and DKC TF.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

3DS only 1.5 million behind the DS in the same amount of time seems good to me. People always talk like the 3DS is doing way worse than it really is.

In the US. Worldwide it's 8million units behind the DS. By the end of the fiscal year, it's going to be 16million units behind.
It's selling well, it's just not gonna sell nearly as good as the DS, and we'll see about GBA numbers, which can be achieved.

The Vita sold 200k last November.
