Ocarina 3D debut failed in JP. Little Battler Xperience PSP debuts at No.1.

And it seems that Ocarina 3D was not the game that made people ( at least in JP ) going nuts for the 3DS. I mean 9K more than the PSP this week is not that impressive !

3DS – 40,649
PSP – 31,741.

This is funny. When the PSP outsells the 3DS by 9000 units, it's all "LOL! The 3DS is a failure!" When the 3DS outsells the PSP by 9000 units, suddently it's "not that impressive."

:lol:

[QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"][QUOTE="enterawesome"]Zelda isn't popular at all in Japan. Just sayin'.IPWNDU2

[QUOTE="digimonkey12"]"huge sales spike" LOL;-) that is a good one. But I guess that a. new system that is on par with the PSP selling 9k more is pretty impressive.khoofia_pika

Interesting that the 3DS doubled its sales from a week ago. But nope, OoT isn't a system seller. Not at all. :lol:

Nintendo created an artificial sortage for Zelda Ocarina of Time to create hype. This article said that Nintendo shipped around 150,000 units to the country and this article said that it sold out in the entirety of Japan

ZIVX

That's one way to interpret the story, I suppose. The real reason is they didn't want to oversaturate the market forcing a quick price reduction like what happened with Spirit Tracks. By working with supply and demand, they can keep the game full-priced. Smart move if you ask me.

Wait when did sales matter here again? I though sales don't matter :|

Too be fair they are somewhat right on both parts...

A game on a system with a userbase of 17 million outsells a game on a system with a userbase of 1 million? Who would have thought? :shock:charizard1605

1. Danball Senki / Level 5 / PSP / 166,187 - new -
2. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D / Nintendo / 3DS / 164,110 - new -

And withBlack Rock Shooter- ブラック★ロックシューターBurakku Rokku Shūtā - and Final Fantasy Type-0​- ファイナルファンタジー 零式Fainaru Fantajī Reishiki - soon released In JP, the PSP will surge pass the 3DS and the gain the No.1 spot again as it has been for the past 18 months.

You like to abuse facts. Infact, its more comical that the PSP with a much bigger userbase, that its big game could only sell 166k in comparison to a platform which only has 1 million users its big game sold 164k.

By improving it greatly?

Seriously, do you play Zelda's start to finish? Coz every single Zelda since OOT has been different form the last, I doubt they are surviving on anything but the quality of the games. I can't see how someone who's finished every single Zelda since OOT would make this statment, so I doubt you have.

Also, maybe because the industry is only paying attention to the casual "I need my bloodz in my guns/shooting games because I'm an adult gamer who plays mature games with lots of tough dudes who never truly express their feelings for the women they love before those women get murdered and I can relate to that" gamer that has risen in the last few years

Making a game be good because of its adventure, and puzzles isn't exactly the popular thing right now. The kind of gamer the industry caters right now doesn't like thinking, or puzzles like those found in Legend of Zelda games.

I get it, you don't like Zelda, Cool beans dude. You aren't the world.

LOL different. Sure. If I remember correctly, the last console Zelda got a 8.9? Yep.

Also, thats a pathetic excuse. There were plenty of games that got attention at E3 that didn't involve any of that. Heck, look at Journey, a little downloadable title, that got tons of attention. People are not tiring of Zelda type games, they are tiring of Zelda.

And no, im not the world, but OoT is failing to make any impression and Skyward Sword is getting ignored so i'd say my views are not too far from the general populations.

"Level 5's PSP mech game Danball Senki takes top spot as Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake propels 3DS to top of the hardware chart."

Did everybody ignore this? :?

As of now, Zelda Twilight Princess stands at 96% on Gamerankings,(Which is higher than any Halo game released interestingly enough) and a 95 on Metacritic, One review is hardly a fair representation on the general concensus of the game.

they sales went up 70% and its greatly praised review wise and sale wise i dont get the point your trying to make zelda is a good series you dont have to like it man thats cool but dont bash it like it doesnt have a huge following

This thread is made of pure hypocrisy and/or ignorance.

Failing to understand why you can't compare software sales for a system that was just released with one that's been there for years and has a huge install base in comparison, is pathetic.

[QUOTE="lordlors"] i think you fail to comprehend the legacy of the Zelda series in the video game industry beyond "sales". If you equate being huge to having more sales *facepalm.... then you don't understand and probably never will. The Zelda franchise has inspired a lot of game developers and it always has great designs. People forgot how Phantom Hourglass got a 9 and Spirit Tracks got an 8.5 which is by no means poor The media following on Skyward Sword proves that the franchise is very relevant as has been for a long time.

Okay, maybe ignored isn't the right word. Skyward Sword is severly overshadowed by a ton of games this year, which is a bad sign for nintendos no.1 franchise.

Nintendo has plenty of faith in Zelda. It's not unusual for a company to send out limited quantities of games upon their initial release. It has nothing to do with Nintendo putting a lot of faith in Zelda.

It's also not unusual for companies to rerelease games in limited quantities to make them rarities among the community. Nintendo themselves has done quite a few this generation.
