[Parmenides]

So, in the end, who is to blame?

Iwata is a smart businessman,but he seems clueless when it comes to 3rd parties.

Nintendo: Financial Results Briefing Q&A

If Wii2D2 comes out next year (I swear we say this every year), Dragon Quest X is gone. Handheld or even PS3 confirmed.

A lot of people don't seem to understand how Dragon Quest works.

Yeah.

Famitsu

 

[Vic]

Iwata is a smart businessman,but he seems clueless when it comes to 3rd parties.

Nintendo: Financial Results Briefing Q&A

What did you see in Iwata's answer that makes him clueless about the third-party situation in Japan?

 

[Sadist]

He's referring to the part where Nintendo assumed that third parties would change their output two years in. They were wrong. Sounds like Iwata and the gang won't make that mistake again.

 

[Jokeropia]

Yeah.

Judging by that picture, you are among them.

 

[BishopLamont]

Yeah.

So where do you think DQ X will go? DS? 3DS? PS3? Wii2? PSP?

 

[Chris1964]

Yeah.

Famitsu

This must be the worst comparison I have ever seen.

 

[FINALFANTASYDOG]

Yeah.

Despite the fact the graph doesn't make much sense

You forgot
Final fantasy Chocobo's Dungeon(wii): 100,423
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers 56.579


I didn't even realize this at the time, but how the bloody does a spin-off over-done port of a ds game manage to do twice the sales of a ff game with a full development cycle.

Edit:

Might as well add this in for no real reason:

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time 44,188

Simple. One of them actually looks fun. The other does not.

 

[BishopLamont]

They're both spinoffs.

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

Ducky got this one already, but it's pretty simple: One of them is really fun and the other one is dogshit.

 

[schuelma]

I didn't even realize this at the time, but how the bloody does a spin-off over-done port of a ds game manage to do twice the sales of a ff game with a full development cycle.

I think the DS game was the port of the Wii version and not vice versa.

 

[Stumpokapow]

it's also a bit weird that the wii graph inexplicably doesn't include dragon quest swords

 

[Cygnus X-1]

Iwata is a smart businessman,but he seems clueless when it comes to 3rd parties.

Nintendo: Financial Results Briefing Q&A

Dude. This is an official position he took. It does not mean that he think this is the only explanation. Every CEO has to keep some good relationship with other companies and this imply that some comment are restricted within Nintendo.

 

[Naruto]

Does anybody here know the difference between Operating profit and Net profit? That has always buffled me..

 

[slaughterking]

Operating profit is the direct result from the respective companys core activitys (or operations). For a video game company the operating profit is obviously a measurement for how profitable their videogame business is working -- which may also include stuff like merchandising, licensing etc.
Net profit includes every other profit a company may get from other activities that do not belong to their core business, like speculation in stock.

 

[Naruto]

Crystal clear. Thanks.

Famitsu top 1000 covers 98,7% of total retail sales.

 

[FINALFANTASYDOG]

Also, of note, with the whole DQM:BR did horribly: I think it's worthwhile to note these past sales of what could be considered a highly similar genre.


(DS) Itadaki Street DS: Dragon Quest & Super Mario (Square Enix) 140,560 /424,948

You can blame that on the PSP rather than the series itself, is the PSP version also a port of the PS2 aswell? That could be another reason.

It's a port

Azalyn August LTD predicted shipments based on sales targets by manufactorers and personal expectations.

05/08/10 [PSP] Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X (Bandai Namco) - 180k

12/08/10 [PSP] Corpse Party: Blood Covered - Repeated Fear (5pb.) - 12k

19/08/10 [PS3] Another Century's Episode R (Bandai Namco) - 250k

26/08/10 [WII] Twinkle Queen (Milestone) - 30k

22/09/10 [PSP] Black Leopard: A New Tale of Yakuza (Sega) - 230k


Azalyn comments:

Users that own both Wii and PS3 are probably buing the PS3 version of Sengoku Basara 3

Most Miku buyers were women, most Basara buyers were men.


Sinobi comments

Pokemon Black / White has high preorders exceeding previous entries so far.
Release week will almost certainly be supply constrained.
It will ship 5 million at a very short period.

 

[ULTROS!]

19/08/10 [PS3] Super Dimensional Game Neptune (Idea Factory) - 250k

Wait... Isn't this way too high for expectations?

PSP Dragon Quest & Final Fantasy in Itadaki Street Portable (Square Enix) - 48,118 / 110,823

Battle Road and Itadaki Street aren't really similar in genre at all.

 

[Chris1964]

Wait... Isn't this way too high for expectations?

Sorry I mixed the numbers.

 

[MemoirsofMimi]

Pokemon Black / White has high preorders exceeding previous entries so far.

Sounds like Nintendo isn't learning from its mistakes.

What was the last main Pokemon game not to be supply constrained ?

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Sorry I mixed the numbers.

Was wondering what the hell they were smoking :lol

Sales targets look good no crazy numbers from anyone not to certain about how Ace Combat series does.

 

[Hypereides]

Yes they did, Sony spent 10 million to advertise the game in the US.

Wow, i miss the smarter Sony.

 

[Chris1964]

Sounds like Nintendo isn't learning from its mistakes.

What was the last main Pokemon game not to be supply constrained ?

For those we have sell-through all were in limited supply

[NDS] Pokemon Heart Gold (Pokemon Co.) - 720.086 / 720.086 / 91,16%

In that case, what would be a reasonable first shipment for Pokemon Black and White?

If shipped right, I can see it surpassing Dragon Quest IX's first week.

 

[Chris1964]

2,5M looks a good first shipment. For the first 2 days.

Marvelous Entertainment’s Video Game Division Makes Money

Marvelous Entertainment’s strategy of slowing down paid off. This quarter (April 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010) their video game division booked a profit.

Marvelous made 71 million yen ($830,000) during this segment, a huge change from last year where Marvelous lost 131 million yen ($1.5 million). Sales were down sharply, though, 55% compared to the same period. Marvelous only released a Hitman Reborn game, No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise, and Ikki Tousen: Xross Impact in Japan this quarter. Rising Star Games, which contributed to earnings in past quarters, now work with Marvelous under a licensing agreement.

Reduced overhead and advertising spending were attributed to this quarter’s positive results. While the profit was mainly from expense cuts, Marvelous is at least back in the black.

Ace Combat X2 Demo Downloaded 300,000 Times
http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/08/10/ace_combat_x2_dnld/

Some initial indications of success for upcoming portable flight sequel Ace Combat X2 Joint Assault. Namco Bandai announced today that the PSP title's demo, released via its official site on 7/15 and PlayStation Store on 7/29, has, as of the 6th, topped the 300,000 mark. The demo's total download figure through the 8th is 324,136.

Ace Combat X2 is due for retail release on August 26. The currently available demo includes a sampling of four player multiplayer play as well as the ability to transfer data to the final retail version.

God Eater had over a million demo downloads and its at 600k copies sold so...I wouldn't count on Ace Combat X2 doing more than 150k, although that would be more than the first PSP Ace Combat that did 116k (budget re-release added another 100k so maybe that will make the new one grow a little from the first one original release total).

How were the sales per publisher till now, roughly?

Marvelous has slowed down drastically.

March-June
[PS3] No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise
[360] No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise
[PSP] Ikki Tousen: Xross Impact

July-Sep
[NDS] Harvest Moon: Twin Villages
[PSP] Fate/Extra

Oct-Dec
[WII] No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
[PSP] Half-Minute Hero 2nd

They have some small budget TBA titles (if they are not already cancelled) and Harvest Moon 3DS.

Harvest Moon and Fate/Extra have been their biggest successes in recent memory, and they both just came out. This is probably their ideal amount of output anyways, I think they were being a bit too ambitious in the last few years and they stepped out of their niche, which gave them some financial troubles. They basically are now scaled back to where they were before hand.

Well, more or less as predicted. Wii Party higher then expected, or, similarly, SB3 lower then expected.

An early leak? That's interesting.

This is actually the first time 4gamer is putting up sales, so they may have a special deal with Media Create to put it up at midnight Wednesday night.

Another 82k for Wii Party...looks like its stabilizing.
