Media Create Sales: Week 3, 2014 (Jan 13 - Jan 19)

Could be. They announced MH4G too early. If people starts to know that an upgrated version is coming, sales could collapse and retailers forced to discount. Will see what happens.
Slashing the price is one thing, rereleasing under the Best Price label is another, especially for Monster Hunter games. Capcom won't advertise bomba bins.

There is a game called -8? Is that about math or the weather?

It's a visual novel, isn't it?

OK....

Japan . i am totally fine with girls in games and anime with ridiculous breast sizes and big cutey saucer eyes . that is totally acceptable by my standards .
However, i am going to have to draw the line when you put those eyes on Dudes !

It looks freaky .
 
Interesting, official videos that were using into free by B'z are now available again when they were previously blocked. This means that Capcom has paid money into getting the rights into the songs again. Could they be possibly planning a Dragon's dogma port or sequel with the song being relicensed again?

It was a joke.

But after the MH4G announcement, there's little difference between not overshipping, selling 3.75M + another 0.25M with a best release and overshipping the initial release and getting to 4M thanks to price drops.

Isn't this the port of a PSP port of a PS2 visual novel?

[PS2] Amagami - 42.490 / 81.004
[PS2] EbiKore+ Amagami - 17.261 / 30.952
[PSP] EbiKore+ Amagami - 69.221 / 157.304

The Wiki article says the EbiKore+ released fixed bugs, and was coming off of a TV anime.

I think 100k for the Vita port is pretty unlikely.

Glad to see the 3DS finally over 15 millions, I think it's safe to assume it'll reach at least 20 millions (possibly even 25) before it's replaced by the 4DS or something (especially if Nintendo launches a new model revision this year).

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
Is that the number we can expect for tomorrow? Doesn't bode well for everyone else.

Week 4 2013 was 75,124 (MC) and week 4 2012 was 84,789 (MC).

Week 4 2012 was when RE: Revelations released, that caused an increase in hardware.

Still, great that 3DS is now over 15 millions: it's the...second faster selling console to reach such an achievement, right? It's no wonder why this year the console is slowing that much: DS saw a gigantic decrease from 2007 to 2008 as well.
Still, I think in the next few months we'll see a price cut / 2DS releasing. And then, Fall 2015 / Q1 2016...the brand new hardware.

Aye, 15 mil is banging, especially after the rocky start. I just saw 40k and thought 'shit, how low is everything else then?!'.

Vita was sub-10k for week 4 last year, so I have my champagne on ice.

I wonder which 2014 game will get in that Top 5 (if any...). My bet is on Monster Hunter 4G, though that would depend when it's released. Makes me wonder what Nintendo has for 2014, and what will be their big 2014 Holiday title.

However, i am going to have to draw the line when you put those eyes on Dudes !

Both of those are equally freaky, I can't see why it would be ok for you (or rather I can see :p) to have the former and not the latter.

I even find this box to be rather tamed considering what you can really find in some yaoi stuff

I guess that exactly what happened when male character designed to cater the audience, much like we regularly seen with female character in various media.
Also by your reaction, I guess this comis would better to express my thought.
I don't if that game will sale with that kind of character design. Looks bad for in term of style.

As the vast majority of the guys here (me included), but you cannot expect to have women sexualized all over the industry, and consider it to be "normal", and just say
"ow shit, guys designs made for fujoshi, let's draw a line here this is too much I cannot handle this"

Just like at first glance you found that all those big breast chicks half-naked were indecent (at least I hope :p) you seem to have the same reaction when being confronted with this product aimed at otaku girls

And there are great stuff which are made with designs that, at first glance, would make it look like it was catering at fujoshi : Tiger & Bunny, Kids on the Slope, Yowamushi Pedal, Samurai Flamenco...

3DS stacks up to the DS better than I'd have expected in Japan. I know an extra 38 weeks seems like a long time, but it could be a lot worse.

Has to be Smash Bros, although the effects of it being split between two platforms remain to be seen. I guess it didn't harm MH3G, although they were released at different times.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Smash Bros. *facepalm*

The 3DS will be definitely be the most popular platform, and the whole 4-player local-play, which is really popular with MH, could be huge with Smash Bros.

I thought it was announced the Smash would release on Wii U first, but I can't find a source so maybe it was all in my head.

It won't be a huge system seller but I hope Nintendo releases an Advance Wars game that has the same effort they put into the last Fire Emblem. In other wishful thinking a new Battalion Wars, Excite Trucks/ Bots, Sin & Punishment, Punch Out, and Custom Robo Areana game for either of their consoles would also be nice to have.
