Hey guys,

I know I've left quite a few of you hanging today. I promise I'll hit each and every one of your requests, though it might not be today. We got our beta finished, but it was around 5am that I finally got some sleep. Going to try to spend at least some of today outside.

Give me a few hours and I'll answer the latest....
 
Thanks for those numbers on Xenosaga and Suikoden roland, I really appreciate it. This thread is really interesting to read. When you get the time do you think you could give me the info on all the Castlevania games you have info on?

Like:

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (GBA)
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (GBA)
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (GBA)
Castlevania: Double Pack (GBA)
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (DS)
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (DS)
Castlevania: Lament of Innocence (PS2)
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness (PS2 and XBOX)
Casltevania: Dracula X Chronicles (PSP)

Thanks in advance.
 
Wow, just discovered this thread. Thanks for the info Roland, very cool stuff!

And jeeze, Wii 3rd party sales are horrible.
Z&W selling just slightly more than Enchanted Arms PS3? Yikes.
 
This thread has turned into one of those fetch quests that everyone hates in video games!!!

On that note though, Im curious about some adventure type games :lol:

Broken Sword (Sleeping Dragon?)XBOX (I can't remember the full title on this one)
Escape from Monkey Island PS2
Still Life XBOX
Dreamfall XBOX
Syberia XBOX
Syberia II XBOX
Indigo Prophecy XBOX and PS2
Leisure Suit Larry (this isn't really adventure)
Myst III XBOX
Myst IV XBOX
Shenmue II XBOX



I know there are more on the xbox and PS2 but I can't think of any. Also, you being an insider. Would you happen to have any clue on the likelihood of seeing adventure (point and click type) games being ported from the PC to the Wii?

Edit: I would also like to suggest a very early nomination for thread of the year. This is the s--t I am always curious about but have never known.

I'd say if it got comparable sales that it exceeded expectations by a lot.
 
Enchanted Arms was hyped? I don't even remember that one.

I vaguely recall the words "gay" and "trumpet" being involved. It kinda scares me.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistance Limited Edition (would really love to know this one)

Thanks.[/QUOTE]

MGS3 Subsistance LE - 25k

[quote name='emceelokey']$27,720,000 total off of something that's basically different variations of the same game. GeeZ. Not only that but they probably cost in the tens of thousands of dollars to develope if not then in the low 100's. I'm glad to hear that your company (what's the name of it) decided to turn down developing something like that but on the other hand the people behind Contra 4 did some Strawberry Snortcane games before and I'm pretty sure a lot of Contra's development money came from Shortcakes sales. I've also read how some developers would use money from othere titles, mainly licensee titles, and make a crappy game for whatever cartoon and then spend some of that money towardas game that they really want to do a good job on which is why most licensed games are utter crap.[/QUOTE]

My guess is that most of those cost around $100k to $150k, unless they were developed outside the US, then those costs would be around $75k or so.

My company's name is Epicenter Studios (you have any idea how hard it is to find a name that A)everyone doesn't hate and B)isn't already taken?). Our website sucks right now, but that'll be one of the first things we spruce up once our first title is announced.

Yeah, the Contra team had a very casual/low-budget history, so it's really great to see them be able to make something that has been critically, and should be commercially successful.

And really, I'd also be willing to bet that the dev team isn't really making much money off of those 'z games. A lot of the small contract stuff like that doesn't have any backend on it, so basically the studio is just working on it for the sake of working and not seeing royalties.

[quote name='depascal22']Thanks for posting all this, OP. How about numbers for these games:

[quote name='Walt Jay']Here's a couple question for you.

What were the sales #'s for Manhunt 2 across the Wii/PS2/PSP? I'm curious if "controversy sells". I wonder how well it did versus it's superior predecessor, Manhunt 1.

Also, what were the sales #'s for Fight Night Round 3 and Def Jam Icon on 360/PS3? It'd be interesting to see from EA's point of view what amount of sales weren't enough to justify keeping EA Chicago open.[/QUOTE]

Good one...

Manhunt - 117k (XBX) 512k (PS2)
Manhunt 2 - 123k (PS2) 63k (Wii)

Fight Night 3 - 1.03M (360) 273k (PS3)
Def Jam Icon - 229k (360 ) 100k (PS3)

Not at all surprised by the Manhunt numbers (I enjoyed the first one, had zero interest in the second one myself), and the difference between the FN and DJ series is pretty spectacular, though I'm not too surprised either. The FN games have a much broader fan base, where I think the DJ games are significantly more limited.

[quote name='mykevermin']Roland, thanks. This thread is quite fun to read thanks to your assistance and unwavered data-providing in the face of a relentless barrage of requests.

Mine, though, is a touch different: what games have sold over 100K/500K (you choose the benchmark) that, in your opinion, probably shouldn't have? Not the typical "True Crime" or other highly peddled crap (Kane and Lynch, I suppose), but, rather, games released with below modest expectations that took off and sold like gangbusters. Do such games exist, and if so, what are some of them?[/QUOTE]

You're totally welcome.

That's a good question. Let me look over the numbers for a bit...

Myst III XBOX - 34k
Myst IV XBOX - 32k
Shenmue II XBOX - 179k

Looking over those numbers, I think it'd be fairly hard to justify porting adventure games. But I don't think it's totally unlikely, especially as the smaller publishers really start to get the Wii legs. Personally, I haven't heard of any unannounced titles in the genre, but I do agree that the Wii is the perfect system for the classic PC adventure genre.

Ouch! Consider the trend as it exists on the PS1/PS2 userbase, from 7 spiraling down to 12. This could be scary indeed for the likes of FF13, MGS4, and DMC4.

A Final Fantasy title that struggles to find a million? Madness

Or I suppose it could go the other way and be a fresh start, CoD4 style, but my gut tells me its the former.

I think it will sell 2 million or so. Mostly because this console gen is absolutely starved for traditional RPGs. The DS has a good number, and the PSP has a few as well (though every time I look for one on that system, they all appear like they're SRPGs...but I digress). Anyway, RPG fans must look at the anemic offerings of the Wii, 360, and PS3...and the first "big name" RPG to be released will be gobbled up fervently. FFXII, by the time it came out...shit, I *still* have a backlog of phenomenal PS2 RPGs I haven't played, and some are still coming out around now (e.g., Persona 3).

There's Enchanted Arms ('scuse me, the "hyped" Enchanted Arms :lol:), the two Mistwalker games...and Oblivion, so far as I can tell. Am I missing any?

Then again, you may be right, and RPG fans may well be perfectly content with their handhelds. DQIX, anyone?

Thanks so much for those console adventure game numbers! I was just about to ask for numbers on those same exact games. I was a big supporter of adventure games on Xbox and I hope more adventures come to the Wii. I'm surprised at those numbers for Syberia (Xbox). They seem pretty good (considering how poorly point and click games sell on consoles). I wish Indigo Prophecy would have sold better. It is a such a great game. Still Life as well. Dreamfall I thought would have done better, but I guess a lot of people bought it for PC.

FYI, Secret Files: Tunguska and Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None (both released on PC a while ago) are being ported to Wii.

Thats fair. There is something to be said about competing when your competitors are scarce. If Red Steel & Rayman can sell gangbusters because there isnt anything else on the field, FF13 can certainly do well. Or maybe there will be other RPGs to crowd the field between now and FOREVER
 
[quote name='mykevermin']That's right. I forgot Eternal Sonata.
[/quote]Gah! How dare you forget one of the most anticipated titles of this generation!

It's okay, Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Daddy still loves you.
 
FF13 sort of depends on how many of those people starving for RPGs have bought into next-gen. If there was already some attrition on the PS2, then getting MORE to buy the game on PS3, which in many cases will require also buying the PS3, it might be tough. But it could also sell millions for the case myke described.

And I would like to say that those adventure game numbers sort of put Z&W in perspective. It didn't sell well, but relative to similar games, it did alright.

Ummmm....ok. I'm pretty sure I've been really clear that these are just the American sales figures. But I do seriously doubt that the rest of the world bough K&L at a 2:1 ratio over the US, especially when it's a fairly US-centric title.

And Yes, Z&W has been outsold by about 200 games December. Doesn't mean it's a bomb.

And I certainly didn't mean to piss in your Cheerios, though I kinda wish I had.

It's probably not right, then. Eidos (or whomever) was full of it when they said Kane and Lynch sold a miilion, and Sony and MS like to use shipped numbers of consoles instead of sold - but it's safe to assume they aren't alone in this regard, y'know (the exception being the Wii console itself, where the ratio of shipped to sold is damn near 1:1).

C'mon, give Mistwalker some credit. Blue Dragon is more like a day old pastry from a very good bakery.
 
All of Nintendo's official numbers are shipped to retailers, not sold through to consumers. So all those numbers are higher than actual sales. But safe to say Galaxy is probably close. 2.5 million from NPD (just US), around a million for Japan, I can't see it being too hard for it to sell another million-plus in the rest of the world.

Keep in mind that MP3 still hasn't been released in Japan. Japan is usually the lowest region in sales with the prime series, but I expect to see at least 50,000-100,000 copies. At the very least, it should surpass Echos' sales amount.
 
Wow at the RE4 numbers. I didn't think PS2 version sold that well.

Seriously, Capcom should take the Mercenaries minigame, expand it and add a tutorial, maybe some more levels and characters, bump up the graphics and frame rate, and put it out on XBLA. I'd pay 800-1200 points for it, especially if they added online coop. My friends still think I'm nuts after seeing all my 5-star ratings on the Cube version. :D It would make a great promotion for RE5 if they timed it right.

[quote name='Strell']5+ million Mario Galaxy?

That can't be right. That's one for every third/fourth Wii owner.

Why does that seem so off? Mario is the flagship franchise of Nintendo and that game's probably the only 100% no-questions-asked suggestion on what to buy for the system.
 
Wow, this thread is a really interesting read!

roland13x, if you have the time, could you give the numbers for the bottom 5 selling GBA games? If I were to predict, I would say Book Worm, Super Collapse 2, Muppets Pinball Mayhem...and two others.

Thanks in advance!
