It's no more interesting than it is predictable.
PS3 still has MGSV and Persona 5 coming this year. I don't think that system is fading any time soon.
Wii U however really has no future and Nintendo knows it.

YDS has a LTD of 417k (73% of if from FW)
YI has a LTD of 394k (55% of it from FW)
If Y0 follows YI's legs it will end with an LTD of 475k. I think it will do better than YDS LTD.

At this point it might not reach DQM3D, and let's see how the updated LTD for the second one is going to be.

What does that play like? Is this being localized?
Zekra Dezivad

Ishin sold better than what I remeber, nice!
Yeah, I think that Y0 will beat YDS LTD, but maybe it will have shorter legs due to Ishin being a launch title and PS3's weaker software sales. However digital sales of PS4 version should not be negligible, so a 400k+ LTD should be achieved.
Do we know what's causing the Yakuza decline? Are the games considered worse? Franchise fatigue?

Probably the latter. There's a Yakuza game every year.

Hah, that is more accurate. But a lot of people have been mostly focusing on the FF and bloodborne weeks when they look ahead.
Every Yakuza game has sold like absolute crap outside of Japan .
The west will not save this series if it fails in Japan .

Look at that idol power. I really hope those sales hold when the Vita game comes out.
Nice on Digimon. Hopefully it has some legs and they restock it as well.

Are people really celebrating these numbers?
So is the expectation for DQXI now a PS3/PS4 cross-platform release, sort of like if DQVII had also been released on PS2?
I really have a hard time seeing the userbase being big enough anytime soon, but if mobile and 3DS are out of the picture and DQH releasing PS3/PS4 now, PS3/PS4 seems like the only thing left.

Weird discrepancies between MC and Famitsu. Famitsu seems to undertrack PS Hardware most of the time compared to MC but Nintendo hardware is usually more similar between the two.
Nice PS4 hold, will hopefully keep selling 30k+ for a few more weeks with the games coming.
XB1 keeps dropping.
WiiU drops despite Mario Party
PSV gets little from Digimon but nice debut for the game.

If DQ comes out next year they will have up to 4m PS4s to play with and then all the PS3s. DQ by itself will also expand the PS4 userbase massively. I don't see why that isn't enough.

I dunno, but you can check the OT for info about the game. No localization has been announced yet.
Not the best opening. Don't mix trackers:

Yakuza games have received superficial changes at best for 10 years. Whether they have samurais or gangsters, it's virtually the same game every time.
Wii U desperatly needs a better bundle or a better price point - there isn't incredibly huge sales potential, but there should be some room left to sell a bit better.
ATM there is only a Mario Kart bundle, right? The (all things considered) pretty well selling NSMBU/Luigi U bundles are a thing of the past, right?

In as much as something like Resident Evil Zero or God of War Ascension could be called 'mainline' I guess... but I guess it's sorta debatable.
It'd be close to the historical levels of when a DQ was released, if you assume that there's no overlap between PS3 and PS4 userbase. Not sure of 4m for PS4 by this time next year but it wouldn't be substantially far from it, I'd think.

Any guesses on what FF Type-0 will sell next week. Is it going to be above 250k because of the Final Fantasy XV demo?
Really curious what the impact of that demo is going to be. Anyone knows what the impact was when the FF XIII demo was released alongside Advent Children a couple of years ago?

Maybe -with a bit of luck- could be the best opening for MC with digital sales, but we'll never know unfortunately
Really GREAT fw for MC nonetheless, it isn't even a Digimon World game!

Hard to say, but to get the FF15 demo, you need to buy a full priced game. Getting the FF13 demo was much cheaper.
Considering how Nintendo basically killed off the series during the Wii gen, I'm not surprised.
I have no idea why they stopped churning the titles out - they were cash cows.

Highly doubt it. Didn't the FFXIII demo only do like 100k? FFXV bundled with a pricey remaster of a PSP game that the Japanese public already played would be "successful" to sell as much as the FFXIII demo.

Think considerably lower.
3DS hit 27m that long ago?
Fixed!
That was quoted from an earlier MC thread, and looking back, no one caught the mistake then. :lol
Yeah, a price reduction woukd decease margins I guess but when you're selling 7k weekly...you should do something.
With its software library it should at least be doing like 10k. Still dead, but better.

Franchise fatigue Id imagine. That and its still the same general locations which Id imagine is another issue for fatigue. One can only run through Kamuro-cho so many times before they start to get bored.
As Id still say 5+1 (zero) is a pretty good run for a mainline series that actually has connected characters. Then there are the 2 spin off jidaigeki games Kenzan and Ishin along with the 2 spinoff titles Black Panther and the game we all pretend to not talk about RGG of the End.
Still though at least the numbers are not totally terrible for RGG:Z.
Mainline
RGG: Zero
RGG: 1
RGG: 2
RGG: 3
RGG: 4
RGG: 5
Spinoff
RGG: Kenzan
RGG: Ishin
RGG: of the End
Total Spinoff
RGG: Black Panther 1
RGG: Black Panther 2
Nice to see Digimon doing good though as its a solid game most def.
The question is Dragon Quest popular in Asia?
*Am serious as have no idea how the franchise is out there.

I donno either. I'm just curious because Sony said they decided to localize Chinese version (before English version I assume).

Maybe they'll sell it on being a musou game!

Hey Capcom is making another MH game!
Edit: ...nah it may be referring to MH Explorer (already announced).

Is this by far the worst opening for a console Mario Party?

No hard numbers from me, but they must sell decently enough when you consider they are one of the few franchises that has had a Traditional Chinese localization for almost most of their games.
Parakeetman

I did know that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms games sold decent over there, but that was a long ass time ago.
Never looked into the Musou series and how it did.
It's the worst opening, at least.

i see,bu it still good debut , PSP one launched on a bigger userbase
Must be pretty inexpensive to make then
Mario Party 10 is a quick cash in and everyone knows it. Give ND Cube more time to make these games. I don't understand why Nintendo constantly has them putting out sub par products. In a year and a half they have released Wii Party U, MP Island Tour, and MP10, all sub par games. Just pointless.

entirely depends on how much it sells. 50k opening and the bad reviews aren't painting a cash in type picture.
