I can't wait to order LOVE and the NAIL HEART book from CDJapan :3 (so send me the f*kng caaaaaaarddd, for buyyy :'(

BlackSilence 19th October 2012 11:04 AM

i think i might just ask my friend to buy PROBABLY [LOVE] when she's gonna be in Japan, or ask her to find that nail book if it'll still be around....

truehappiness 19th October 2012 12:54 PM

It'll probably still be around, but if you need one, artcika, I have a copy to sell! I'll just charge for shipping and the cost of the book!

not good.
Edit: final post from bottom.

Not good? The sales for Tales of Xillia were around the third best in the franchise's history at around 600-700k total. It's doing VERY well for a Tales game. It was also the highest sales for Tales ever since 2002/2003.

To put it into perspective, the sales Xillia had put it in the top 10 of highest selling games in 2011.

What's not good? The sales will be good if the game manages to sell even 1/2 of the original...

truehappiness 19th October 2012 01:36 PM

Also, it was overlooked that on that chart that Xillia 2 is #1 in preorders.

I feel like it should ALSO be mentioned that there's a weird point system that people use to 'calculate' preorders at Amazon.co.jp and that the numbers are not necessarily indicative of 'actual' sales.

Delicious n Bold 19th October 2012 02:43 PM

I was just going by what the chart at the bottom said.
How am I supposed to know what the numbers 782 and 415 mean? The second game just looks like its gonna sell less so I thought that was bad. Wouldn't anyone here think that's bad?
And I have no idea how much the first game sold. Not a clue.
So excuse me if I don't know these things.



EDIT:
... And I just bought the album on CDJapan. Finally! EMS to get it here ASAP. I can't wait. Now I'm not gonna download leaks.

I think it's good in the long run, but not good because a squeal should do better then the first game.
But over all, yes its doing quite good.

Yoake 20th October 2012 01:37 PM

I hope we'll get one of the pv next week. Even a short version will be good.

If you don't know those things maybe you shouldn't make assumptions? At least not without gathering all the facts :) I don't expect the second game to do better than the previous one. But selling over 400k is great.

AyuWorld 20th October 2012 02:21 PM

LOVE is gonna be a great birthday present for me ever <3 but still i hate that i still ddint order it,i have a tight budget this month and plus i dont want to pay for the custom tax... =.=

Isicio 20th October 2012 04:26 PM

Only 3 weeks before the release, I think it will be (First Press) with a bonus poster, I'm sure of this! and the acces card will be a paper like FIVE mini album?

I didn't expect my helping of TeamAyu2004 (by providing him a link) to escalate into a little unsavoury quarrel because I said two words 'not good'.

But I am free to make flop assumptions if I want. Unles I was perfect. Then I would be making accurate assumptions.

truehappiness 20th October 2012 07:40 PM

It'll probably do fine, as it's selling rather well in Japanese online retailers. Though it probably won't get to the 740,000~+ that Xillia did.

I didn't say you aren't free to do so, but expect people to reply to them :innocent

So how do we think LOVE is going to sell? I'm tired of Namie / Kumi stans (not on this forum but elsewhere) calling her a flop! 'Floppy Queen' still hurts my heart. Unfortunately I don't think she's going to sell big again until she drastically changes her sound, and LOVE sounds quite typical Ayu. Which for me personally is great because I love her, and as long as the songs themselves are great, I'm very happy! Unfortunately lately they haven't always been (I'm looking at you, FIVE).

Once might argue she changed her sound too drastically for Party Queen...

I'm looking towards the booklet pictures.
