Lol that isn't how you spell Yokai Watch 3.
They're announcing more than YW3. If the Famitsu title is coming from L5 I'm expecting either the YW spinoff or their new series.
PS4 owners focused on PS3/Vita games? Sounds about right.

Thank you MS!! lol
They are pushing PSVita a lot. I fixed on that 17,000yen console itself. Neither Amazon is selling it that cheap, I think.

I went to that shop to take a look, very expensive considering it's outside Greater Tokyo
they have the promotion "get 2 or more PS2 games and get 50% off"
but most of cheaper games were priced 980yen or more....

I suspect Bloodborne is going to kill a lot of PS4 titles coming out that week. Prey slaughtered!

I saw a CoroCoro scan that showed off a Minecraft Vita bundle from Sony, but I don't think it ever came out. Wonder why.
First shipment was ~38k. Even if it hadn't reached that though there would have been a second shipment by now.
When is the last time one of these scoops lived up to the hype, especially a Nintendo one?
I imagine it will be something obvious like Youkai Watch 3 being a 3DS game.
I saw the scan, and it says that they received a super secret info regarding a big title which they may be able to reveal in next month's issue. They aren't claiming it's a scoop though, so it's probably something that'll be announced earlier.
Then, could be Dragon Quest Monsters.
Ahh in that case it might be NFC/Amiibo for one of the Youkai Watch games. Either that or something like hiska-kun said. If the new DQM is a 3DS game it would make sense to reveal info now that Heroes(and soon Theatrhythm) are out.
You have to reload Famitsu links to get them to work.

Japan doesn't use summer time as western countries
for example, now there are +8 hours difference from Europe (Paris,Rome,Berlin) and there will be +7 from next sunday
so you will get sales data one hour later
Maybe at the final Monster Hunter Festa '15 event on April 12.
woah! so many potential new info coming in April.
btw, DQMonster being on something else than 3ds would put the final nail in the already squeaky nintendo-dq coffin

Alright thanks! Didn't expect it could be that soon.
There's a nintendo-dq coffin? Thought they were still good despite the DQ heroes (where it's arguably a better choice to be on PS platforms due to the fanbase).

Theatrhythm DQ is out next week, and 3DS already got 5 DQ games, all of them selling really well. What are you talking about? Also, a DQM already exists on mobile and that's the only other platform outside 3DS where the series makes sense to exist.
38k according to Media Create I think.
But you're really wrong about how shipments work. There probably would have been a second shipment sometime after the first week + for new bundles as well like MCC. Suggesting there is only 1.5k in channel is ludicrous.
I'd estimate at least more than 60k have been sold in by now if not more.
Just press refresh and it loads. Famitsu don't allow direct linking.

14./00. [PSV] Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Iki <ADV> (Kaga Create) {2015.03.12} (¥7.538) - 9.879 / NEW
26./00. [PS3] Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Iki <ADV> (Kaga Create) {2015.03.12} (¥8.618)
I guess these numbers aren't too great. I wonder if anyone will localize Higurashi When They Cry soon. We need more VNs in the west!

[PS4] 閃乱 Kagura ESTIVAL VERSUS - girls of selection - Niu input DX Pack PREMIUM - 20pt
Vita LE of the game left the chart yesterday with 19 points, so 64 points total.
Anyone remember what Senran Kagura 2 left the chart with? Very interested to see how this game performs... wondering if it'll be the end of the IP for a bit if it relatively underperforms again.

Nah I know how channel allocation works. I just wouldn't buy anymore inventory for something that sell on average 400 units a week nationwide. So in my case it's not that Microsoft couldn't have more shipments I just question who is buying inventory of it at this point.

Sounds like something they wanted to do plus Sony helping them on the marketing side which is nice.
Good on 'em. And good on Sony for the promotional support.
Too bad the promotional support doesn't seem to help Disgaea 5...
Well, there's only so much that can be done when another PS4 exclusive is eclipsing that game on the very same day...
Monster Hunter 5 will obviously be a PS4 title, right guys?
Right?
Hey, if Sony forks over 400 million USD or so, I'm sure they could work it out.

Stranger things have happened, although Hell would probably freeze over first.
Capcom seem to be very cosy with Sony lately, giving them Street Fighter V permanent exclusivity, and the defining title of the generation, Deep Down.
disgaea 5 coming out during the second wind phase of the ps4 does seem like a mistake, but the release date is there to show that they really couldn't have pushed it back any further given they don't have anything else to make up for it in the fiscal year. a september release, after the ps4 had more japan-focused games in japan, might have been better for the game (so maybe it would open at 40k instead of 20k or lower). right now, it seems there's a distinct possibility that it may be more successful in western markets.

Given the state of the company, narrowing the business might be a good strategy. Problem is, NI doesn't have much IP to rely on, and it seems Disgaea is losing steam (the latest entries didn't do so hot).
Is Deep Down the defining titles of the generation because it keeps getting delayed?

They are probably expecting western sales to make up for loses on home market.

ho, of course.
Like Dragon Quest XI. And Bayonetta 3. And Half-Life 3.
Every game from now on will be on PS4, because it is the only platform that makes sense.
Obviously.

lol oh boy. DQXI that makes sense to me. That's if they want to give the franchise another push in the west. Especially when you consider how SQ are positioning the PS4 as their go to console this gen. All the talk of people wanting everything on PS4 reminds me of the exact same rhetoric that was being spewed in favour of 3DS in these very threads 1 year or so ago. I guess it made more sense because 3DS was killing the competition, but still. Lets all be friends. Nothing wrong with hoping unannounced games are on your platform of choice!
OT: I'm hoping Digimon s doing well. Haven't really followed the thread but I was hoping for higher initial sales? I'm about 11 hours into the game and I'm delighted with how good it is. Persona + Pokemon w/ Danganronpa Music and a Digimon Story skin. Aw yisss. Really hope it does well for Bandai Namco.

Nice to see Sony helping. The producer's (?) expectations where too high unless he accounted for WW sales. I think Disgaea 3 would be the best case scenario in terms of Japanese sales.
chances fo FF Type 0 HD dong 100k+ (incl.bundle)?
64 is good
Definitely. I do wonder how many sales they get form the West. Its never been disclosed iirc.
the smell of a new DQ platform shift is way stronger than before. Not only DQH signed a first after years, but there are also Hori's sentences about the big screen and the fact that they are entertaining the crowd waiting for DQXI with DQH. Seeing the already announced DQM game landing elsewhere but 3DS would not be a good sign toward further DQ support on 3DS in my opinion.
I could be wrong, we'll see, but also the localization issues for 3DS games in the West don't play a good role in the Nintendo-SE relationship over this franchise imho.
I hear this argument often - but which data suggests that a PS4 DQ would vastly outsell a 3DS DQ title ? Or even a WiiU RPG published/promoted by Nintendo ? I think with DQ 11 the goal was to create a "high end", "console spec" title from the beginning, since there were a bunch of vocal fans hoping for another DQ8 type for RPG for console and its Anniversary title so Horii and co. wanna go all out as long as they still can.
If its hitting only the PS4 its because of the weak competition and the system being the defacto console to own. I expect the 3DS to get another mayor DQ title in addition to the next Monsters title...something like a Remake/Re-imagining of the first DQ trilogy.

I'd like to see some more concrete evidences on this. PS4 has yet to prove to be a jRPG machine in the West. Also, DQ on the most successful platform in the West for jRPGs barely sold a million, and it sold also a million on DS, which was also popular among jRPG fans.
