Not Skylander's Spyro Adventures, that is a 2011 game. So..strange.

You clearly haven't heard the pre-order news for MH4.... Its gonna be insane. The 3DS will light up the charts starting in September and then Pokemon X/Y... Its just a matter of time
edit: It might not reach DS levels but it will definitely dominate everything else.
I have a hunch that this might be the end of the Gyrozetter franchise however.
*Adds game to long list of one-off new IPs from Square Enix since the 7th gen launched*

Not even a .1% chance. The DS went into a beast mode that we will never see again so the 3DS would need to start averaging over 100k a week to even have a chance. Not even MH4 and Pokemon will do that.
They won't even try. Hell they don't seem to care about big chunks of Europe let alone Japan.
Persona 4?

and bravely default 2 which actually sold. Pretty much every 3ds game but this has sold well

No, because 2006/7 DS numbers are completely out of reach.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
It is. I own it. I have no idea what he's talking about.
Edit: Oh, the first one? That really is odd.
Probably they took the 360 version, put it on Wii U, with some GamePad functions, and nothing else.

Woah, just looked and it's as it looks:
This is the first time the original is Wii U-bound, wonder if it'll arrive in NA?

What the..why wouldn't they release Giants instead?
All depends on how the anime performs.

miku and p4g?
Hopefully this will push them to go again with their most successfull recent new IP.
Bravely Default 2 please.
Btw, people still "hoping" or just "looking" for DS numbers for the 3DS will have a bad time.
And this is something everybody should understand for the market/industry, not only for the 3DS-DS Japanese comparison.
That's almost for sure. I remember asking about Gyrozetter's relevance in Japan, and people answered it wasn't that popular to begin with.

Seeing such sales, i fear for the future of gaming(Consoles specifically) in Japan 
I mean the Nintendo Wii U is already close to dead. PS3 never did hot either. PS4 so far seems to be heavily focused on the western market

They have definitely been saying more Bravely Default is in the works.
It seems the trick to survival is originally being an FF game and then getting rebranded.
Yes this was Square Enix unsuccessfully trying to force their way into the Transformers market.

If the new one sells like this Nintendo will probably be pretty upset lol. You should look at the original for why a new one is being made.
My fear is, you know. iOS.
Don't want to derail the thread, I just hope to see them going ahead also with portable market (in the home market they already confirmed their "usuale" effort I think).
Seeing BDFF2, DQM2 remake and, sooner or later, DQ11 on 3DS would give me hope.

I think that the industry is entering a period of general LTD HW-SW decrease, not only the home market in Japan.

So Dragon Ball Heroes on 3DS overtook Dragon Ball Origins and is now the 8th highest selling DB game since long ago going by Garaph's Famitsu numbers, now over 215k.
And BN announces a DB game for PS3/360/Vita, which if it's based on that arcade game, is no surprise it's not on 3DS (recall it being made on PS3 hardware, and we ALL saw a home release of it coming).
I DO NOT see any version coming close to Dragon Ball Heroes' numbers, at least on Vita, no way in hell. And actually, I'd say it's guaranteed to not reach it on PS360, because the highest number on either platform is Burst Limit PS3 (the first HD DB game even) at 163k, just wow.
I don't know if the stars aligned for DBH on 3DS or the fanbase really flocked to 3DS, but whatever the case, it's just ENORMOUS.

Youkai Watch will sell well, it looks like a good game afterall.

In Japan?
Also haven't been paying attention to Soul Sacrifice. Under 1000 units? Wonder where the game will end up
Magicpaint

Only a matter of time, I think. I couldn't be happier about the way it has performed already, though.
All charts launch-aligned. All data from Famitsu.
Weekly numbers presented in logarithmic base 1,000 for clarity. In that case, zero units are represented by one unit.
Note, since this draws only from the top 30 it does not represent smaller titles.
e.g., software sales of zero are assumed if the console has no games in the top 30.
Tally of the number of titles for that platform in the top 30 for each week.
Certain weeks may have titles that aren't represented. These are the PS3's 7th and 25th, and the Wii's 4th and 23rd.
Feel free to criticize or point out mistakes.

Yes, IIRC it reached like 2M, but I'm not certain, its definitely over 1M though.
Or a FF VI (or V) remake. I guess those won't come.
Oh, yes, that's for sure, it's more a matter of "milestone" than actual success or not.
And I think that Nintendo is really happy about its sales worldwide, not only Japan.
About the new L5 and Capcom games, I don't think that Gyrozzetter results are mandatory examples of what the other two will perform. I mean: each and every project has its own strenghts (in terms of appeal, quality, promotional push and so on), and I don't think that the 3DS has "standard" problems in seeing successfull projects in terms of anime/games/comics demographics propositions
That Tabata (CC/T3B/Type-0) is now on FFXV and Yasue (Portable KH) is on KH3 makes me continue to wonder about handheld output outside of Dragon Quest and Bravely Default.
I feel their survey suggests there's at least one more Bravely Default 3DS game coming though.

What? Super Metroid did NOT sell 1m in Japan and didn't even cross 2m LTD WW.

Eh, Fantasy Life and Bravely Default have both done well. We'll see.
DQM2 remake and DQ11 will certainly be on 3DS, Bravely Default 2 as well, not worried about them at all. But probably we won't see lots and lots of SE projects (both known and brand new IPs) like in the DS days. ;_;

More info and actual screens of Mushibugyo 3DS:
http://www.4gamer.net/games/221/G022192/20130619078/
It's an RPG, I'd imagine it's by the team behind Magi and the Lost Labyrinth 3DS.

Me too I expect BDFF and DQ as 3DS efforts, and FFHD on Vita, nothing more.

They're definitely scaling back their handheld output, so all the usual stuff they did on DS/PSP will instead go the iOS route. 3DS will mostly be a DQ machine for them outside of the BD sequel and PSV will get the odd FF title here and there (I'm assuming they'll bring back Dissidia and they'll probably do FFXII HD, too).
well, those opening sales of DKCR3D already blew past all the LTDs of every Metroid Prime game in japan (and Other M too since that sold as much as mp1 there. around 79k)

Hmm shit you're right, I'm mistaking it for DKC lol. Well it sold 780k in Japan, pretty good sales.
This is a bit of an over reaction...One game flopped and one underperformed a bit (KH), doesn't mean SE won't support the system anymore.
