pedrocasilva Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Yeah but a game's first week's sales, for anything but casual games, always peak in the first week. Most of the time for a hardcore game like half of the people who'll buy the game (in total) rush out and buy it, meaning big first week sales. Then they drop a fair bit for the next week and then usually go way down by the third week. 33,000 for a first week is pretty mediocre/poor. For a non-first party Wii game in Japan though it's not too bad as third party Wii sales in Japan are absolutely horrendous. Actually it's not bad at all, for what Fatal Frame IS. It never sold that well in japan. Fatal Frame IV: Week #1 - 38,617 Fatal Frame 1: Week #1 - 21,770 total by week #3 - 42,195 Fatal Frame II: Week #1 - 42,006 Week #2 - 8,932 (total by week #2 - 50,938) Fatal Frame III: Week #1 - 46,671 Week #2 - 7,396 (total by week #2 - 54,067) total after 22 weeks - 69,147 Also, when Fatal Frame 1 came out, there were 6.6 million PS2 sold in japan, right now there is 6.5 million Wii's in Japan so lets say it's a pretty good comparison, when fatal frame 2 came out, that userbase had doubled and Fatal Frame 3 was towards the end of the cycle, so I don't even need to give numbers out. Of course if it sold better... the better, but the game sold almost as good as the later installments with a smaller userbase, and bare in mind that it was never popular in japan to start with. Also, they sold 60% of the initial shipment in the first day if that says anything about their expectations. Pretty good sales, if you ask me. But yeah, let's go ahead and blame Nintendo the Wii and whatever else, it's cooler that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCK Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Here they say that the pointer does control the camera. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maase Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 URGH, i seriously hope not. Pointer + camera = epic fail. It would be too damn easy, i want something hard. Hard + Scary = Epic win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.dakota Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Looking at the video, the camera seems very smooth moving- on way is that IR. Although i believe with a little workaround, you can have camera IR and difficulty, I can live without camera IR. Lack of IR for the torch, however, is inexcusable and a poor call.

RedShell Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Grabbed to one side by a pack of journalists at the US conference yesterday, the Nintendo of America President was interrogated on when the west would see a release for the highly-anticipated Japanese horror title, Fatal Frame IV: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse. Fils-Aime bizarrely answered, "You're going to have to contact the publisher for questions on that." http://www.n-europe.com/news.php?nid=12416 Damn, that's seriously annoying that Nintendo is not publishing the game outside of Japan. Wait a minute, does that also mean we wouldn't get... Noooooooooooooo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sméagol Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I hope it doesn't, I was looking forward to this (though there are so many things to look forward to since the conference ). Anyway, NoE may be different.. I mean, we're getting Disaster aren't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowV7 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Yeah but the US is waiting to see how it does in Europe first, not cause of publisher issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sméagol Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Yeah, but that's my point, they might do the same with this game. I'll be happy to participate in these gamesales evaluations . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maase Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Oh well, Fatal Frame 4 will come here, don't worry about that.. Tecmo will go at the speed of light and give us this game...

dazzybee Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I can't believe this game hasn;t come out this Autumn, it's such an obvious game to come out now. It's one of the games I'm most anticipating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ren of Heavens Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 My guess is that Rising Star Games will release it in Europe as they already have a deal with Grasshopper Manufacture. Perhaps Q1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
