I have a feeling that thing is going to go down as one of the biggest wastes of sales potential ever.
As in sucks to play, or sucks at selling, lol?
Dragon Quest.
Yokai Watch
I mean, that hasn't been released west yet. You're not wrong that it'll probably not do great over here.
Thinking about Level-5 though Inazuma 11 should fit the bill.
Spike Chunsoft's new game with Tri-Ace was revealed as a side-view RPG named Exist Archive: The Other Side of the Sky for PSV/PS4.
It has a 14 page reveal in Famitsu.
It's not very relevant for the overall market, but I do think it represents Spike Chunsoft continuing to try to increase their relevance.

He isn't saying that.
It's more like he wants it soon before boom expires.
(though as I watch audience is is becoming more popular than ever).
Thanks for tracking this info down, I suspected this might also be true but wasn't sure. It's interesting to think that for both niche RPGs and mainstream ones, sales will often end up higher in the west, although we probably don't know if that's also true for overall returns. I don't think this was the case in the past, so I wonder what the long term implications will be for the few RPGs that are left these days.
Wat. I'm pretty sure that he's implying that it got delayed again.
Huh? How/why would Nintendo undership them?

because they're nintendo
Do they usually undership their big games? MK, Pokemon, AC?
Unless they thought this AC wouldn't be big...
COMG is just made up of 16 stores spreaded across the Niigata Prefecture in Japan. So it's kind of like cross section in terms of predicting sales numbers for games. The stores in question took too many pre-orders for ACHD and it turned out they won't have enough stock with the first shipment to fulfill the pre-orders in question.
Most likely we can expect a high sell through first week for ACHD with stock troubles based on this and high digital sale through based on that. Nintendo probably didn't expect a spin off would move that many units. Considering how other popular franchise spin-offs do I don't see the reason for a spin off for a game that has gone on to sell 4 million in Japan doing great should be surprising at this point.
That explains it in less words

b-b-but it was supposed to save the vita
Isn't it up to retail what the initial shipment is in Japan?

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
DeNA announced, due to cost controls and mobile apps performing better than originally forecast, that Q1 Operating Income will be revised upwards to 4,000 million yen comparatively to their previous forecast at 3,400.

You can't undership something that isn't out yet.
When you take preorders you must take only these that can be covered for the initial shipment that will be available to you.

The game is weird...
I still think that'd be Attack on Titan on 3DS, if Spike-Chunsoft had really put some effort into it.
Well, MH on PSP disagrees.
It wasn't that popular a brand before the PSP. It's the PSP that made it huge.

The other option would be to kill DQXI sales.
I'm sure this will be final the SE title for 3DS by the way. Everyone is shifting to Sony and mobile.
They want to make money just like any business.
Erm no....there are many people who prefer a console DQ and/or would double dip for both versions.
Well fuck. I was way, way, way wrong.
I don't think it's that simple... it was a syngery. MH was the right game for the PSP, and the PSP was the right platform for Monster Hunter. Pretty simple.
... in the West, yup.

Almost didn't detect the sarcasm there xD.
So... am I the only one who has a funny feeling they'll localize the PS4 DQ11 but not the 3DS version?..... (that'd make me sad as a 3DS owner...)
Ni no kuni flop badly though and it uses the same strategy.
Monster, Dragon Quest, NinoKuni.
One is not like the other. Ninokuni already disappointed on 3DS while MH and DQ sell up to 4 millions on their main plattforms.
Ehh? I thought ni no kuni on DS sold quite well for a new IP too.
DQX and DQXI also announced for NX - very interesting especially since we got this announcement so soon.
"Quite well" isnt MH/DQ level though. You cant compare an IP like Ninokuni to DQ - the difference in sales and appeal is too large.

It sold very well for a new IP but was massively overshipped and Level 5 wanted it to be a million seller.
NNK really disappointed on the 3DS, selling a fantastic zero units. Not a good ROI, though not super damaging either.
In all fairness, they *did* sell basically 100% of what they shipped for 3DS.
