I disagree with all points except 1.
Both are hard, though in different ways. Souls games have a clear central narrative to experience and a clear sense of progression. Mh is almost entirely about mastery being progress.
2. Multiplayer much more important for mh. Hence it's popularity on local portable play.
3. Disagree. MH is much more overtly Japanese. In both gameplay and artstyle. Many consider ds a western style game.
4. Lore and narrative much more important for ds.
We also haven't mentioned another point. MH has already been released on pc. If gameplay is what's gonna drive sales, Capcom would have certainly seen more success on the platform.
C'mon
Are we using the argument of a subscription based MMO that nobody cares about now? or the sad China only crappy game?
Yeah this is about what I figured. The most recent KH, Tekken and DBZ games haven't reached 4m in the West I believe though. It's a pretty exclusive list.
I can only assume you meant to quote someone else here because I actually dont know what you're talking about here.
Yup...
Well it's been given a whole more attention by the media but I'm not sure how far that actually goes.
Monster Hunter World PS4 edition on Amazon is currently #260 on on the US games chart.......If people are preordering this game in the West, it is certainly not through Amazon.
On the Amazon Japan charts it is doing much better, but we really have not seen any indication that its going to sell 2, 3 or even 4 million in the West.

I agree with this reasoning in most parts but the part with Sakamoto is a bit confusing. If they had fear of a backlash with Sakamoto being a producer for Metroid, then why he was the producer of Samus Returns?

Man, on Dengeki, Gran Turismo Sport can barely outsell an HD remaster of an expansion of a spinoff Monster Hunter game on a system with a lesser install base.
It almost got outsold this week by a year late port of Xenoverse 2 which came out a month earlier than the game. What did Sony do to you...

I should preface that I don't have inside sources. Most of what I talk about is observations and analyzing. But the big thing was timing.
He was given them million seller elsewhere so they were less will to indulge him. But the fans kept asking. The reaction to TF specifically meant that when he wanted to make another one they were probably more willing. Not to mention they had a developer that want to make a remake, something they can rely on not have that much backlash. People are more willing to forgive a remake or remaster. It was less you can't make one and more try other thing and wait awhile to let the heat cooldown. The fact that the next Metroid game after Federation Force was a game produced by the person that directed Other M is proof in itself. Most would have pushed it far away from his hands. I do believe that if he pushed hard enough it would have happen earlier, but that he also agree to stepping back for awhile.
If we take all of the available information for Metroid in the last 20 years. Most thing are like a connect the dot puzzle. Next Level Metroid pitch that they were leery about. The No they said to MS before Sakamoto (coming off of Tomodachi Life) decided to do it. Metroid Life has been a series of unfortunate events. Yes like the books. Good thing happens, bad thing follows.
Like I said Nintendo does pay attention to their fans sometimes. We know that they tried to get F-Zero going again. And that they made a new Pilotwings because people asked. There's Zelda and Mario along with the many series that just pop back up out of nowhere. That, and the reaction to FF is the reason both Prime 4(with nothing but a logo) and Samus Returns was announce at the same time. Codename:Steam has a bad reaction at E3 less market and don't talk about it (same thing happened to FF). Splatoon has amazing buzz from E3, plaster it everywhere. Its like clockwork. If the game had a bad really showing at any game show or direct they pretend it doesn't exist. If people can't stop talking about it, the biggest push on the internet comes from Nintendo. Hell, the same happens to Pokemon. Sun/Moon and USun/UMoon had the more push, less push dichotomy respectively. The only series this doesn't happen to is funnily enough Xenoblade. It exist outside the paradigm on all things.
Nintendo makes a lot of mistake, but you almost always see the through line in their marketing and presentation. Its why people call them a reactive company instead of proactive company. And why they stumble a lot. If Other M was a success we would be on number three by now. They were positioning it to be big, like 5-7m big. Maybe bigger.
Looks like Xenoblade is going to have a good first week. With the switch potentially moving 1 million+ units of HW in December there's a lot of opportunity for new buyers to get the game.
Hoping the switch will see 100K+ this week. Then from XB2 it's time for the really big weeks hopefully. The US seems to be getting some massive stock so hopefully Japan will soon see the same.
I have no idea what it will sell but I don't see how you can possibly be this certain. I don't think 4 million is likely at all but I don't see why it's impossible.
It's currently the Christmas shopping season, how many pre orders were you expecting to see? I don't think amazon is that great of an indicator anyway.
I agree there are no metrics to suggest such a massive jump for the franchise. It seems to be getting quite a good reaction and videos related to it seem to garner a lot of views. Right now it's almost impossible to tell what to expect.

The original comment was about games, but even then most of those franchises are hitting 4 million in the west.
No, no. I mean. REAL general like. As in counting ALL Dragon Ball fighting games for the express reason of hitting 4 mil.

I'm guessing we are trending towards Super Mario Odyssey going up considerably this week due to bundles if its ahead of UM version of Pokemon on Rakuten, while having such points on COMG which doesn't track bundles in their weekly sales charts. My guess is that it's trending towards a 50% ratio vs non-bundled units or the Switch shipment is far larger than prior ones(>135K). If we see it rise above >75K this week, it's pretty likely SMO passes MK8D the week after this one. In terms of the pace SMO is looking to pass 1M by Week 49 with plenty of time to sell a bit more before the end of the year.
Pokemon US/UM drop was foretold by Chris and others, so second week being between 200-275K is looking like a certainty, if it sales less than that, then I can only imagine how badly other upcoming 3DS titles will do. Overall what I expected to happen to the 3DS at the start of the year is finally materializing - Sun and Moon, DQXI, MHXX, revision etc can only keep the 3DS active for so long with a direct competition in terms of active user base. A lot of the active audience has simply "Switched off" at this point, 3DS next year will be anemic and certainly won't pass 1M with how quickly Switch is selling and expanding it's library. If Switch didn't ran into it's supply issue this would have been more pronounced earlier in the year, but I guess it was fortunate that supply problems and a few big titles were able to keep 3DS's 7th year respectable.
Switch software is beginning to rise with the holiday supply, Splatoon 2 finishing ahead of Hatsune Miku on Rakuten and slightly behind on COMG speaks of this. Hatsune Miku was predicted to sell <40k by YSO so in all likelyhood we are finally seeing another >35K week for Splatoon 2 this time without bundling. It's fairly clear that it would be between Splatoon 2 and Super Mario Odyssey in terms of which game sales the most in December. The update rollout for the holidays is something I've always expected - 4 ranked/turfwar maps, 1 Salmon Run map, 140 new pieces of gear, new hairstyles, new pants and most importantly a new mode in the middle of December. The staggered rollout of the updates ensures that the game will continue to get a huge push and lots of coverage over the next few weeks. It's very much what I've anticipated since the launch, while the content of the update pretty much lives up to the expectations I posted a thread speculating on it ahead of the announcement:
Overall I continue to expect Splatoon 2 to come up on top in December despite SMO getting the bundled treatment. It had close to 1:1 ratio with the Wii U during it's first holidays so sales shooting up as more kids are able to pick up the Switch is definitely something I've been looking for. Hopefully it ends the year around 2.5M, Splatoon 2 is integral in terms of Nintendo's online subscription plans and would be a major contributor towards them being able to drive adoption in the future. It's not exactly hidden either, if you go to their online app currently it's just SplatNet 2. A few posters have been talking about the barren lineup in Q1 2018, but with Splatoon 2 updates its likely not going to be much of an issue. I fully expect another major update once the paid service is released.
That leaves the other Switch titles which are set to get a boost during the holiday, MK8D could finish a bit behind SMO but I would personally expect the game to continue selling as more new owners get the system. I would not be surprised if new DLC is announced for early next year, since I don't anticipate MK9 to arrive in the next year. Perhaps it won't be as substancial but a few new cups and a few new battle stages, qol improvements etc isn't something out of the realm of possibility. I've already outlined that in 2017 there is only three Nintendo games that are online focused and MK8D has sold more in the West than Splatoon 2. So while Splatoon 2 will be driving the subs in Japan, MK8D needs to be the major driver in the West until some other big online game is announced by Nintendo.
Zelda:BotW DLC is set for December and while it might not be able to match MK8D, SMO or Splatoon 2 in terms of holiday sales, we've already seen it sell at a consistent level for over 8 months. I think it definitely can move an additional 200K by the end of the year in Japan. I just don't see a situation where with potentially >1.25M new Switch owners by the end of the year Zelda doesn't reach at least 15% attach rate over the course of the next few weeks. It's legs weren't really hurt by other Nintendo properties and there would be new owners looking to jump into Hyrule this holiday. It will definitely receive a push in Japan for the DLC release.
we have to remember mh:w was greenlit at a time when ps4 seemed to be the next platform coming off huge western sales and also decent sales in japan, it was definitely made to expand its fanbase in the west
capcom would be happy if it sold 3-4m in the west and 1m or so in japan
it is mainline in the way dqx and ffxiv is mainline, to help sell the game, the main game thats going to sell in japan will come to switch, there is no way they abandon this portable fanbase
can't really blame capcom for believing in the ps4, most third parties did. what you can fault them for is not adding a switch sku knowing the 3ds wasn't an option and they had early knowledge of the switch's existence, they knew it was going to be the next portable
to this point ill extend it to every other third party, it is absurd to think nintendo would screw up their next portable console given their track record, especially when they're dedicating everything they have to this one console, failure really was no option for nintendo and third parties should have been on board the moment they had knowledge of it
they didn't know whether the 3ds or the next nintendo portable made more sense
in the meantime the ps4 was a huge success in the west, so they thought why not? while they wait and see what happens with the portable entry
why would they abandon the japanese fanbase, the main selling fanbase for the game in japan? it makes no sense at all

It's probably not so much that they didn't think that Nintendo would screw up a handheld and more that they didn't know if the public would receive it as one.
here's a thought I've had about Xenoblade 2 post Dragon Questi 11. given that it's an rpg, sales are probably gonna be pretty damn front-loaded. Zelda is a bit odd to me with its legs despite being a single player game. DQ11's fell off relatively quickly for a number of reasons, but I think being a single player game is a big cause. with no multiplayer component, there're not many ways to retain value and keep people from reselling the game upon completion. I wonder if Xenoblade 2 will suffer the same fate and if MonolithSoft's next game will be more co-operative (or competitive) focused and not suffer the same issues. they are hiring online programmers much like they did in the run up to Xenoblade X, after all

you sure as hell wouldnt be able to tell that from the game design. it was like they went 99% of the way and stopped just short of letting you run around/team up with other people in a game world. the way loot drops worked, the character customization, the stat customization, the design of NLA, the way quests were doled out, etc. it was a prototype MMO and it'll be hard to convince me otherwise that someone wasn't thinking of MMOs when they pivoted towards online play. the co-op bosses were nice and all, and the ability to recruit other people's characters was cool, but damn, they should have gone whole hog.
Xenoblade X is why I'm almost adamant that their medieval game is a successor to it in the same way XC2 is to XC1. I'm cant predict how this hypothetical game will turn out sales wise, but I'd like to believe that a proper online focus would help the game's legs. not necessarily a DQ9 style of legs, but persistence in the sales charts
Iwata Asks (RIP) on XCX touched this aspect. Their goal from the start seem to be a single player game with a degree of online interaction rather than a full MMO.
If fleshed out, I think the online component would be more similar to MonHun than an MMO.
I'm not sure it would have been like MonHun. granted NLA is a far larger hub than in any MH game (maybe even World from what little we've seen of the new hub). and combine that with the ability to move in and out of it freely was reminiscent of FF14 (my only frame of reference with MMOs). granted this could also have been due to the fact that the game was still primarily single player. if they did go full MMO-ish, NLA might have been segmented
their cyber monday starts on 8th until 11th dec for some reason. can't remember if it's the same case in previous years

Wonder if it would be smart to ape Destiny with XCX2.
Seems like they were going for something similar but Monolith dropped the ball.
Needs more online/GAAS functionality to differentiate itself from the normal Xenoblade franchise. It's just a XC game with a bad story and a worse structure

Thanks. Strange I feel it used to be right after US Thanksgiving.
If they want a destiny feel they need to just go real time in the combat. XCX is like an overly complicated single player MMO that wouldn't be fun to play in a Destiny team up style as is. Just make it a real time action game if that's the audience they want.
PREDICTION LEAGUE DECEMBER 2017
Predict how much these titles will sell in the month (from Nov 27 to Dec 31):
[3DS] Nintendo 3DS Hardware (35 days) - 330k
[NSW] Nintendo Switch Hardware (35 days) - 1150k
[PS4] PlayStation 4 Hardware (35 days) - 300k
[3DS] Pokémon Ultra Sun / Ultra Moon [2nd month] (35 days) - 380k
[NSW] Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (31 days) - 175k
[PS4] Yakuza Kiwami 2 (25 days) - 190k
[3DS] Yo-kai Watch Busters 2: Hihou Densetsu Banbarayaa Magnum / Sword (25 days) - 350k
I don't see YWB2 declining as much as many predictions seem to think it will, YW3 showed the IP still has some sales potential, sure it's down by a huge amount, but YWB1 launched at near 700k and did more than 1M in a few weeks during summer. Similarly YW3 FW/LTD numbers are hovering around 40-50% of YW2 (with a notable amount of overshipping though).
Taking that into account, YWB2 selling at least a third of what YWB did does not seem that farfeteched, it's still a low number and a big decline but the IP is not dead to the point it will only sell 150-200k especially during holiday.
Writing that makes me want to update my prediction with a bigger number even ahah.

funny you should say that :P
I dont think the XCX gameplay would be problematic given the popularity of its style of combat in MMOs. people say Xenoblade is MMO-like for a reason. that being said, going real-time would do more to expand the audience. Takahashi says he makes games for a worldly audience so the medieval game would probably have the biggest potential out of all Monolith Soft's games to date: popular art style (Square Enix and Atlus are going this same route for a reason), real-time action combat, and online/service compnent
I wish it were an actual, real indication of things to come but isn't it just a single store?
2nd is Yakuza Kiwami 2 a know quantity (expect a FW somewhere between 120-150k), 3rd is Earth Defense Force 5.
They probably don't have preorders opened for MHW because it doesn't seem to appear in the chart (unlike Dissidia at 5th)
