Goron_3 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 God i really think this game is going to revolutionise gaming just like SMW once did, and so did 64. I mean, to beat a game like portal is saying something and i think this game is going to truly show off what Nintendo is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I'm just gonna say this. What the hell Japan? There's barely any queues for the game apparently and retailers are reporting brisk sales, it's like the game doesn't exist over there. The sales better pick up. Yeah just seen this on GoNintendo, its crazy I mean its Mario....MARIO!!!. I bet something like Wii Fit will outsell Galaxy over in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCK Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Man, man, the hype for this game is unbelievably huge... How will this possibly deliver? Miyamoto must be beyond exceptional. Damn, can't resist myself from jumping on the bandwagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read the article, and am severely confused as to how people have taken it as a sign of bad sales. It's the first day, no, it's the MORNING of the first day where people have to go to work when it's raining. The game is going to sell fine.

Petey Piranah Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 They should just put Final Fantasy on the front cover, it'll sell out instantly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy2211 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 They should just put Final Fantasy on the front cover, it'll sell out instantly... Final Fantasy doesn't sell that big in Japan anymore. Well, it still sells big, but not on the level of Mario / Pokemon / Animal Crossing / Brain Training / Nintendogs / Mario Kart :/. Just has the most dedicated and crazy fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey Piranah Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 How about Metal Gear Solid and/or Biohazard, they along with FF used to be the ultimate 3 franchises for Japan, their tastes changed over time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're certainly not that relevent anymore. Not as much as they used to be, they can probably still pass 1 million in Japan alone but compared to the games I listed (4.5m+) then they're not. Dragon Quest is the biggest RPG in Japan now too, God knows how incredible sales for DQIX are going to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGS series and Biohazard series didnt sell well in Japan but the second games in the series did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

system_error Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 No need to worry about sales. Sold over 130,000 on the first day alone Well for THE BEST GAME on the Wii this year it is not that great. After all Japan loves the Wii and the hardware base is around 3.5 million units. So 130.000 games for 3.5 million Wiis is not what I exactly call a great start - it will to quite well but there have been a lot more games which sell faster with a smaller userbase.

Ren of Heavens Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Mario Part 8 did 110,000 on day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khilafah Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 130,000 first day sales are not great! I mean New Super Mario Bros on the DS sold 420,000 in first day sales. Like I have said before, the actual Wii Userbase in Japan is something I would like to know more about. Will be interesting too see how many Wii's are sold this coming week as you would expect Mario Galaxy to generate new buyers. If Galaxy doesnt do great than who are the people buying Wii's? my copy arrived today but I am at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowV7 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 If the Hardware doesn't have a spike or the sales die down slowly then I will really question things for Japan. If it happened then that hard core base is next to nothing and just full of casuals who like Wii Sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
system_error Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Ace Combat 6 for the 360 sold 35.000 on launch in Japan .... how many 360s are there in Japan again ... Well seems the Wii sales are really heavily depending on casual gamers who like Wii Sport, mini games, brain quiz stuff and don't care about graphics and stuff.

Nintendo has to attract the hardcore gamer. Plus if Mario does not do aswell as we all think it should 3rd parties will be put off from releasing more traditional games.
