What was the weather like in Japan last week?

My predictions:
HW: 45k
Wii U: 21k

 

[frankie_baby]

I think its fine. We know what time real numbers come out, its not like NPD were we don;t know even after they have been released.

When it's just a couple of hours before they get released it could be easy to mistake an unmarked prediction for a leak

 

[Storm Kyleis]

Well, why not. Predictions:
Wii U - 16k (14~17k)
HW - 85k (70~90k)

 

[User Tron]

I think that as well. Please mark your predictions.

 

[Foshy]

Predictions:

Wii U 22k
Hyrule Warriors 70k

A few weeks ago I would've guess half of that for HW, but it's got a pretty big push from Nintendo. So combine that with Obon and it might surprise us.

 

[Pennywise83]

HW aside, it'd be interesting to see how MK8 will perform; it's been growing since a couple of weeks.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

22k WiiU
80k Zelda Musou

gone to sleep will find new thread when I wake up later
to see if I guessed close or not

 

[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]

My bets:

Wii U: 17k
HW: 58K- 8K

 

[Ricky 7]

I'm gonna guess and say:

Wii U: 17k
HW: 45-50k

 

[DrWong]

Prediction:

HW 61K
WIU 21K

 

[cw_sasuke]

Prediction time:

Wii U: 19k
HW: 77k

 

[prag16]

That'd be truely awful for Nintendo

Yep. They need more like 25k/75k.

 

[KingSnake]

According to geimin.net, PS3's LTD at the end of 2007 (the year Gundam Musou was released) was 1,641,671, and it's close to WiiU's current LTD at 1,871,750. While the latter may be true, PS3 was also way more expensive than WiiU, so I think it's a fair comparison.

That's right, I wasn't paying attention, I was thinking more about the Dynasty Warriors as a whole. One could argue that Musou fans were among the firsts to get a PS3, as the first week sales for the Musou games didn't increase as much as the install base. DW 8 sold 203k at launch on 9 mio. install base.

 

[SmokyDave]

I'm going to revise mine slightly downward to 21k hardware, and 63k for Hyrule Warriors.

Will it beat the Vita? Too close to call for me.

 

[Lexxism]

WiiU: 16k
HW: 55k

 

[test_account]

I was expecting around 90k-100k for Hyrule Warriors, but after seeing it being #3 on Tatsuya, i'm more unsure.

 

[Welfare]

Wii U: 18,000
Hyrule Warriors: 68,000

 

[frankie_baby]

I was expecting around 90k-100k for Hyrule Warriors, but after seeing it being #3 on Tatsuya, i'm more unsure.

Don't forget that yw2 likely got a big obon bump and it was only one of the 3 hyrule warriors editions at #3 so the others will add sales to it, so you could still be right

 

[test_account]

Yeah, that is possible.

 

[RalchAC]

I'll say mine too:

WiiU: 16k
Hyrule Warriors: 65k.

 

[frankie_baby]

Ok mine

Hyrule : 83k
Wii U : 25k
Mk8 : 31k

 

[Zoon]

HW: 83k
wiiU: 19k

 

[CANLI]

Prediction time:

Wii U: 19k
HW: 77k

Best prediction..

 

[random25]

Guess I'll join in the fun

Wii U: 21k
HW: 80k

 

[mao2]

Me too!

Hyrule Warriors: 120,000
WiiU: 30,000

 

[Taker666]

Wii U: 16k
HW: 65k

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

HW : 70k
WiiU : 24k

 

[L~A]

I'm expecting 80k

L~A who posted over 20+ Hyrule Warriors threads only expects 50K

so I have faith but 100K

this is on WiiU you know right?

This is more because of the Wii U than the game itself. Too many disappointments with sales, alas.

 

[cacildo]

Prediction:

WiiU: 13k
Zelda Musou: 35k

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I understand that feeling

we will know in 40mins

so much for my sleep I just want to see some changes on how WiiU software sells

Hyrule Warriors was pushed hard so I'm interested to see the results

 

[Sakura]

Prediction:

WiiU: 13k
Zelda Musou: 35k

This man is crazy.
Crazy I say!

 

[frankie_baby]

Prediction:

WiiU: 13k
Zelda Musou: 35k

You are predicting Wii U to sell less than last week or is it a poor joke

Could this be a hint? Am I reaching? (posted by the first day blog, in the past he did something similar)

 

[metalslimer]

Wii U- 17k
HW- 66k

What are we supposed to look at here? That first day sell-through was 15%? That it sold 35k?

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

On an earlier topic of merchandising, the app Girlfriend (Beta) is getting an anime, so it could signal the start of a multimedia franchise.

 

[Hindl]

My predictions:

Wii U: 17K
HW: 60K

 

[Kouriozan]

I'll stay on my 40k prediction for Hyrule Warriors.
And about 18k for Wii U.

I don't understand what I am supposed to be looking at. A wallet? I don't get it.

 

[Bruno MB]

Prediction:

Yo-kai Watch 2: Ganso / Honke - 178.000
Hyrule Warriors - 67.500
Mario Kart 8 - 29.000

Wii U - 18.500

One of the numbers on that page will be somehow relevant to the Wii U, or Hyrule Warriors. The same source did something similar before on an important (Vita?) week.

That one is too cryptic for me though, unless it's supposed to point to a 15% sell through, or a 15% rise / fall in hardware numbers.

2ZG9100540

hyrule warriors 100k

Oooooooooooooohhhh. Maybe.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Last time they used the product number of an yoyo to hint at LBX Wars first week sales (50217), so maybe 100,540 sold? :lol

But like I said, it could mean nothing. We will see in 15 minutes.

Here:

It says it isn't a complete revival yet.

And them it links to an yoyo on Amazon that has the number 50217.

 

[Foshy]

Oooooooooooooohhhh. Maybe.

sorry, I missed that there was a 9 before it.

9100540 is the total of Vita software sold this week.

 

[L~A]

Hmm... 50k could be for the 3DS. But that's an old number, right?

Hmm. If I order within the next 18 hours I can get it by 8/22.
8/22 is 0.36, or in terms of percentage 36%.
Attach rate is 36%.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

8 minutes?

 

[hiska-kun]

The 50k number was for LBW.
Now he is pointing at 100k

 

[AcademicSaucer]

I think that Hyrule warriors bombed hard in japan .
