And that's nothing compared to how Gears Tactics is going to take the Japanese market by storm! Just take a look at how well it's doing in the Xbox Series S & X's software ranking...you won't believe your eyes

Pikmin 1 and 2 sold around 500k on the Game Cube, a platform with anemic hardware sales. With the Switch touching a wider audience, a new entry could have a significant boost. Both entries outsold Luigi's Mansion on Game Cube for instance.

However, the franchise declined with the WiiU entry (250k) so Pikmin 3 DX will be a good test to know whether it is fully due to the platform or not.
If Pikmin 3 DX outsell the WiiU entry and get in that 400k/500k+ range then a new entry could become a million-seller.

Thanks for the explanation. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I think it's highly unlikely.

You don't think that Pikmin 3 DX will outsell the WiiU version or that, if it sells around 500k, Pikmin 4 has a shot at being a million-seller ?

I think Pikmin 3 DX might be able to outsell the original and maybe reach ~300k. Maybe.

If Pikmin 4 exists and releases next year, I don't think it'll get close to 1M, but it's hard to speculate about unknown factors. Hopefully I'm wrong, as I love this series, but I don't see it reaching such wide audience as it is.

I'm hoping the Coop aspect really pushes the game but we will see. First pikmin on the go but I'm going with 300k-400k but hoping for better

I hope pikmin 3 does well, because the first is one of my all time favourite games. The second was a big letdown for me (I know I'm in the minority with that opinion) and I haven't yet played the third.

Forgot about that one lol. Always that 1 weird spin off nintendo does per franchise lol

If the caves turned you off the second game, know that they are gone from the third one. It also reintroduces a form of time limit - there is no day limit, but your food supply can run out if you don't gather enough fruit.

I recommend Pikmin 3 highly, but then I love all the Pikmin games. Well, the mainline ones anyway ;)

Still waiting for that splatoon spinoff

Yeah Nintendo can't make a bad spinoff off their best ips right?

*Looks at AC Amiibo Festival "Oh Gawd"

But at least home maker on 3ds did well.

Splatoon needs a spin off and they can go in different ways so I agree there!

Also where the hell is my 3D Kirby

Amazon has several PS4 deals right now on games and consoles.

They had a PS4 + GoT bundle (at the price of the Slim) that sold out (climbed to #13). Other bundles are still available, although less successful.

Thanks for this. I don't want to derail the thread too much but yeah, that's what I disliked about Pikmin 2 so I'm glad to hear it's fixed in 3. Maybe if more fans discover this it'll push the sales up for 4!

Oh yeah reading this list reminded me, I did not know there was a PS4 version of sakuna until like yesterday or so.
Its been a while since that happened cause there are several switch games that are also on ps4 that people tend to not know that there is also a ps4 version. but I tend to be informed nowadays but even that slipped by me.

Like Japan, Mario 3D Collection doesn't seem that popular in Asia.
I guess so. One of the game store over here (Thailand) did a special promotion where Mario 3D All -Stars was on sale for about 32 USD for a limited number of copies. (pretty much 50% off)

I mean, I'm not complaining. It's how I got the game. (It's not like I'm not willing to pay full price to begin with) But it definitely make you question how well it actually performed.

Nocturne HD has awlays been keen for a better PS4 debut, imho
but I'm also expecting better legs (even if small) on Switch, simply due to its larger fanbase

Like Japan, Mario 3D Collection doesn't seem that popular in Asia.
Arguably the primary audience for the collection is pretty much the people who grew up with the games, as well as their kids. That's how it's being advertised here in Japan at least. As far as I know, the games never received official releases in any Asian countries except for Japan and China/HK (chiefly SM64 and via the iQue, which sold only around 10,000 units).

I was surprised to find so many people around my age and younger while living in Thailand who had no idea about Mario/Nintendo despite being into games. They totally missed the opportunity to capture what are now massive emerging gaming markets. The movie might help a bit though.
