The NX better sell well, or the stockholders are going to start getting pissy.
Another bad Console Gen, and we’re going to see things changing at Nintendo.
Still waiting on that announcement of an announcement that is supposed to happen today…
I was thinking the same thing earlier. Even went back and find the SuperMetalDave64 article to make sure. I knew it was probably fake. Personally, I am kind of glad. All these people need to stop spouting off their rumors as if they are fact. I don’t mind speculation, but acting as if you know facts or your friend of a friend works at Nintendo? That is annoying. Nintendo should be revealing soon (at least we hope). When they do, then these people will know facts. Eh. I’m rambling and ranting for no reason. And I’m still going. What is wrong with me today? Too much studying for classes.
If it is a Console/Handheld Hybrid, then it will definitely sell well in Japan. Especially if a Main Series Pokemon Game releases on it.
When is DB Fusions coming to the west again?
I figured that. If the NX does as poorly as the Wii U, then .. idk. But I have a 2DS and a vita so unless there is something epic about it, this girl is not buying it.
Honestly very surprised Persona 5 sold like that. With all the hype surrounding it and how much attention it gets compared to other Shin Megami games, I thought it would’ve reached 500k easy in its first week.
Didn’t have a full week though. Considering that, 300k+ is still pretty good, especially for a place like Japan. Turned out to be the fastest selling entry in the series too. Seems like a solid start.
That being said, I really can’t wait for the Western release, easily one of my most anticipated games right now.
Yay! And still no sign of FedshitForce in this particular list!
Those Wii U sales are going down more and more.
