Maybe 200k+ debut for FFXIV. People here were expecting this?
I think FFXIV for PS3 is going to exceed everybody's thoughts...

There is no way JoJo will open bigger the DQ7 remake.
FFXIV exceeding expectations it seems.

Even so, they may have sold more copies of LP3 than the whole of Europe.

Did DQ7 have an initial 500,000 shipment? Cuz that's JoJo ASB's.
I don't think anyone is expecting it to surpass DQ7.
Really though it sold within the 400,000 range by my estimation.
DQ VII sold ~830k on first week
If you dont count Smash Bros......yes.
3DS is current gen. Wii is now last gen
Smash Bros will take the title back next year though.

Well at least they can make them in less than 1 year
After that YouTube teaser, and after hearing it is an online game I have no expectations at all.

Graphics wise, i don't think it will reach the original tech demo. Gameplay wise, i am interested if they retain the Dragon's Dogma gameplay in it.
This week's Famitsu got leaked early with some new titles.
[PS3/Vita] Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 4? (真・ガンダム無双
[PS3/Vita] Mato Kurenai Yuugekitai (魔都紅色幽撃隊
[3DS] A-Train 3D (A列車で行こう3D)
Quoting this here since I'm splitting the thread.
Square Enix has announced two new games in the TGS window so far:
Melpharia March (iOS):
This is a PvZ game as far as I can tell.
I can't read Japanese, but it looks like their last title was Dragon Orb for GREE: http://www.maql.co.jp/
So, it's been quite a while since their last retail title got released.
I'm wondering when they will start with 3DS announcements again. Probably Harvest Moon, certainly Rune Factory 5, possibly the "real" Senran Kagura 2, and let's hope that Dragon Mark thing is still alive. And this wouldn't mean they will stop supporting Vita, since they found success on the platform, far from it.

Quite high. I expect a dungeon crawler where teamwork is essential. Supplies may be scavenged as well. Essentially MH but in dark caverns.
IIRC it's not uncommon for Marvelous to do TGS announcements for all platforms, but I could be wrong about that.
Strangely, half of Musou Vita support (since we don't know details for Gundam yet) seems to be "boycotted" by Tecmo Koei themselves.
Dynasty Warriors 8 Expansion: on PS3, there are both the only expansion version (5,040) and the original + expansion pack (7,300), while on Vita there's just the original + expansion pack (7,140).
Sengoku Musou 2 HD is released both retail and digitally on PS3. Only digitally on Vita.
Let's see if Gundam Musou follows what happened with Gundam Breaker (Vita version being released much later than PS3, and with only local co-op) or not.

Don't you need orginal release for expansion pack to work ?
I think he should have just dropped the discussion since it was going no where.
Modern list war.
September Japanese new game announcements:
Smartphones, tablets & browser overlords:
Melpharia March (iOS / Square Enix)
Deadman's Cross (iOS, Android / Square Enix)
Divine Gate (iOS, Android / GungHo)
Home and portable consoles has-beens:
Shin Gundam Musou (PS3, Vita / Bandai Namco)
Mato Kurenai Yuugekitai (PS3, Vita / ???)
Sorry, no ports. =P (Also A-Train 3D was actually announced years ago)

A-Train 3D and VitaminX/Z 3DS ports should count as well, no?
I assumed his post was a bit more tongue in cheek than comprehensive.
Pretty much lost my interest after finding out that it's an online game. :/
"Boycott"? DW8 wasn't released for Vita, therefore they can't just release DW8XL like the PS3 version. Also, DW8 with XL (original + expansion) is cheaper than buying both games separately.
What the...?
XL is a standalone expansion that works without the original game, but you'll be missing tons of contents.I thought XL would work without the original. If that's not the case, then, my bad.

I'm wondering if KAIO: King of Pirates is still 2013. It was supposed to come out last year and we still haven't got a set date yet.
Maybe Keiji is too busy with Mighty no.9.
KAIO! I forgot about that, it's been lots of time. We did get a little update this year, also about the manga/anime, didn't we?
He posts with substance, and wants to contribute to sales discussions, but he came off aggressively. Hope it's a short ban though.

Yeah the release date for that is also tentatively 2013. They're probably trying to get both the game and the anime/manga out around the same time, following in the footsteps of Level-5.
I seriously doubt that. I think we got a vague update a few months ago that "development was progressing", but it just seems to really have been sidelined. Sad, because I was looking forward to it, and the way they talked about it made it seem like it was intended for worldwide release from the start.
Okay I just got where they got info from (9th Aug). Because the press release at 29th says exactly opposite.
Well it is possible Bamco has messed up at stating features so we'll see.

Just for the halibut, let's see what 3DS (any) announcements we've had in the last... 30 days?
Steel Empire (eShop remake by Star Fish SD)
Karous: The Beast Of Re: Eden (retail, new or port, no idea, by Klon)
Toriko: Ultimate Survival (new, retail, by Bandai Namco)
A-Train 3D (likely retail, technically not a new announcement, just back from the dead, by Artdink)
VitaminX Evolution Plus (PSP port, likely retail and by D3 and HuneX)
VitaminZ Revolution (same)
Years of Amazones (retail, new RPG by Arc System Works)
Kamen Rider (retail, new, by Bandai Namco and 7th Chord)
"nansanden" (new, retail, by Klon)
Pretty sure that's it, not too shabby.

Forgetting Bravely Default: For the Sequel is a crime against humanity.
One possible reason for that could be that potential developers are under NDA to not leak stuff until the conference .
Reason it could be possible is that Sony has managed to not let a single leak or at least very little of them happen this year in regards to PS4 .
of course i realize this could sound the same as the Wii U faithful who thinks Nintendo is hiding multiple 3rd party games Waiting to be announced but somehow i could see Sony actually doing this and actually having something to hide since they actually have third party support .
Of course this is just one possibility amongst many .
it could be possible this is everything they have and PS4 has nearly jack squat but i tend to keep every road open right now .
