If floundering means outpacing the ds in terms of hardware and software sales, and being in better position than the ds ever was........... then yes.

you've said that at least 20 times now. and you've looked like a complete idiot every single one of those times. but please, keep repeating yourself.

After what he said I had every right to voice my displeasure in that false sentiment. And I actually look quite smart since all the numbers, positioning reports back me up. Even in the nintendo forecasts, they have predicted the 3ds will continue to outpace which is why the 3ds fiscal forcast number was higher than the first ds number.

Yes, it's doing well enough that they're cutting the price and admitting it was a mistake to charge that much for it, which also happens to break their usual rule of never making a loss on hardware.

Them cutting the price, and current sales were completely seperate issues. One that iwata cleared up

i'm pretty sure it tanked sales-wise. not sure about critical reception. i think it's pretty silly that they released an Atelier ripoff around the same time a real Atelier game was released. should have timed that a little better, though there's no guarantee it would have made much difference.

Yeah that probably wasn't the best idea.

GUST fans are guaranteed to nab Meruru instead. And Atlus fans look at the game with trepidation, cause GUST is a COMPLETELY different style than they're used to.

The game sold at least 50k.................



it might of made profit on the ds if costs were 0

[Ringwraith]

I'm kind of hoping it didn't fail quite so terribly, but then I'm just here for the soundtrack, so don't mind me.

[stealth20k]

it might of made small profit for all we know.

it sold 25k the week it was released and then it fell off the sales charts completely. it didn't come anywhere close to 50k...

yeowch...that's pretty bad. Not really for a niche game, but for an Atlus game. Oh well.

[Hero]

well, it's a DS game so they could have still broken even, but yeah those are pretty disappointing sales.

[stealth20k]

Well from what ive been told its broken 50+ k


Those charts dont tell the whole story sometimes apparently...................according to those chartz rorona sold around that in the west too but apparently it was much much more

[Hero]

well i was going by MediaCrate numbers, which are about as accurate as it gets (though they don't track online sales so its not completely accurate)

i don't know where you got the Rorona numbers, but unless they're straight from NISA or the NPD, i wouldn't trust them.

[stealth20k]

Ive asked lyner about how rorona did. And while the numbers paint a shitty picture..................he said rorona did quite well here

And online is likely were alot is coming from. I imported a copy online so obviously that wouldnt be reported by media create..........and theres a decent community of importers.
