Media Create Sales: Week 15, 2015 (Apr 06 - Apr 12)

 

[Skittles]

What a depressing ass week for hardware

 

[L~A]

hiska-kun to the rescue!

A bit disappointing for Girl's Mode 3, but GW is just around the corner.

3DS is holding well, though it's not really doing fantastic either... then again, nothing really is, those days.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Look at that Buddyfight, I hope another CFvanguard is coming.

Yeah

THe numbers seem so low acoss the board

Its like they line up in the millions for a few big games and then the rest is daily 20K sales at the most

I dunno. Maybe thats just like everywhere else

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Slow week, slow sales

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

hardware is down YTD across the board. yeesh.

 

[Guymelef]

ZzZ week.

 

[BadWolf]

Boring.

 

[Shinriji]

Bloodborne

 

[allan-bh]

Terrible moment for japanese market with 3DS's end of cycle and weak current gen home consoles.

 

[RPGamer92]

MGS V and Persona 5 need to come out.

 

[Foshy]

Bloodborne

what about it?

 

[Javin98]

Jeez, pretty rough week for all platforms.

 

[blazeaire]

Numbers so low they don't even bother showing top 20 anymore?

 

[Graphics Horse]

A new xbox one sold every hour.

 

[Eolz]

Wow, really disappointing for Girls Mode 3 and the 3ds... At least it'll have long legs.

 

[KillerMan91]

Minecraft starting to strech its legs (it's up compared to last week). I wonder how long it will stay in top 10. As for hw overall? Pretty bad but it's not like last years this week was that much better.

 

[manipulate]

Yikes.

 

[Shinriji]

what about it?

Dissapointing numbers.

 

[mrmickfran]

Xbox, holy shit.

 

[Mpl90]

Golden Week is soon, that'll help hardware wise.

3DS: Up YOY for another week? Good! Actual result not being such a huge thing to brag about? That's true as well.
PS4: Up YOY of less than 1,000 units this week after all the titles released recently seems a bit disappointing, honestly. At least, this week didn't show a big drop as the former ones.
Vita: Down by 3,000 units, but Minecraft is surely holding.
Wii U: Why is Wii U up YOY in the past few weeks, it doesn't make sense (granted, it's 1,000 up, but...why)

 

[braves01]

I can't believe Wii U has still sold more in Japan than PS4. I thought for sure it would've been passed by now.

 

[The Last One]

Xbox one less than 100 units in a few weeks?

 

[RPGamer92]

Also, will Japan ever lower the tax on luxury products back to 5% or whatever it was before the increase last year?

 

[Super_Cobra]

Japan has no love for Xbox. Slow week I guess.
I wonder how China compares in sales.

 

[darkwing]

yikes, will the One drop to double digit numbers?

 

[Parakeetman]

Yep nothing to see here considering that there was not any real substantial game release last week.

 

[Pennywise83]

The funny thing is that 3DS is increasing YOY this week. YTD is not bad either.

Girls Mode 3 did less than expected but GW should mitigate the 2nd week drop.

FuRyu did nicely with the card game.

 

[HGH]

Numbers so low they don't even bother showing top 20 anymore?

This is what's up at the moment:

11 - [PSV] Sword Art Online: Lost Song (Bandai Namco, 03/26/15) – 5,532 (177,145)
12 - [3DS] Pokemon Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire (Pokemon, 11/21/14) – 5,483 (2,598,884)
13 - [3DS] Xenoblade Chronicles 3D (Nintendo, 04/02/15) – 5,330 (71,167)
14 - [3DS] Assassination Classroom: Grand Siege on Koro-sensei (Bandai Namco, 03/12/15) – 5,196 (49,827)
15 - [PS4] Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin (From Software, 04/09/15) – 5,134 (25,628)
16 - [PS3] Pro Yakyuu Spirits 2015 (Konami, 03/26/15) – 4,960 (88,090)
17 - [PS4] Saints row IV: Re-Elected (Spike Chunsoft, 04/16/15) – 4,776 (New)
18 - [PSV] One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 (Bandai Namco, 03/26/15) – 4,543 (80,779)
19 - [Wii U] Mario Kart 8 (Nintendo, 05/29/14) – 4,542 (961,504)
20 - [3DS] Theatrhythm Dragon Quest (Square Enix, 03/26/15) – 4,079 (104,044)

Not what I was expecting from Girls Mode. Golden week should help.

Otherwise, quiet week, other than Minecraft showing actual legs now (i.e. up WoW).

 

[Kathian]

Terrible week but it was last year too.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Xbox One: 170

 

[test_account]

How much did Girls Mode 2 end up selling in total? I know that GM1 is about 900k (Famitsu).

Wii U: Why is Wii U up YOY in the past few weeks, it doesn't make sense (granted, it's 1,000 up, but...why)

Probably statistical noise. Same goes for the other systems where the difference is quite small. On this topic, i'm surprised how something sells so stable/constant. Like, why isnt it suddently 10k one week, and 3k the next week.

 

[Mpl90]

Wow, really disappointing for Girls Mode 3 and the 3ds... At least it'll have long legs.

I don't think 3DS is "really disappointing", since it's up YOY. Of course it's not that high, but it's also been on the market for a while...New 3DS has already come, probably the next step will be a price cut, IMHO.

Now, Girls Mode 3, instead...it's not a bad debut per se, and GW should help the game selling in the next few weeks, but I was expecting around 15 to 20,000 units better than that at retail. I'm curious about digital sales, too.

 

[Eolz]

Golden Week is soon, that'll help hardware wise.

3DS: Up YOY for another week? Good! Actual result not being such a huge thing to brag about? That's true as well.
PS4: Up YOY of less than 1,000 units this week after all the titles released recently seems a bit disappointing, honestly. At least, this week didn't show a big drop as the former ones.
Vita: Down by 3,000 units, but Minecraft is surely holding.
Wii U: Why is Wii U up YOY in the past few weeks, it doesn't make sense (granted, it's 1,000 up, but...why)

Good points.
For WiiU, maybe some deals before XCX?

I can't believe Wii U has still sold more in Japan than PS4. I thought for sure it would've been passed by now.

It would have been really surprising if it happened before this fall (best case scenario).


Edit: a bit disappointed by the 3ds because I expected GM3 to push it a bit more. Since sales for this one were disappointing as well...

04./04. [PSV] Minecraft: PlayStation Vita Edition (Mojang AB) - 12.175 / 97.117

The hero the vita deserves!

Interesting to see Style Savvy at #1, didn't realize it was that successful in Japan. I think they seem like they could be fun games but my wife's never had any real interest so I've yet to play one. I'd feel a little weird getting it for myself, hah.

3rd Super Robot Wars Z: Tengoku-Hen is collapsing hard, this is not unusual for these titles, but overall sales are (especially on Famitsu) way lower than the previous entry.

[PS3 - PSV] 3rd Super Robot Wars Z: Jigoku-Hen <SLG> (Bandai Namco Games) {2014.04.10} (¥8.715) - 334.661
[PS3 - PSV] 3rd Super Robot Wars Z: Tengoku-Hen <SLG> (Bandai Namco Games) {2015.04.02} (¥8.716) - 243.377

[PSV] Minecraft: PlayStation Vita Edition <ADV> (Sony Computer Entertainment) {2015.03.19} (¥2.592) - 11.121 / 102.104 (-17%)

PlayStation Vita finally found its evergreen title, without Minecraft its sales would be in the 10.000 range, which is what it was selling in February.

I wonder if the Mario Kart 8 DLC (and the marketing that comes with it) will boost the game a bit.

Going after that 1 million.

What gave you the impression PS4 sales until now were great?

 

[30yearsofhurt]

I'm just wondering, as I'm not that well versed in sales stuff, what seasonality do we see in Japanese sales figures. Not so much month to month but rather week to week.
I know that in Japan most people get paid monthly rather fortnightly in other places.
For NA this is not as much of an issue as sales data is usually monthly.
But would the majority of sales take place in the first week of the month?
Would the PAL charts have the same issue?

 

[Nightengale]

Reaching the 15k mark.

Will it fall, or will it hold?

 

[DNAbro]

What a really boring week

 

[Rymuth]

Really slow week...

 

[braves01]

What gave you the impression PS4 sales until now were great?

I guess I just haven't been paying attention to how poorly it's doing.

 

[CaviarMeths]

This week was even sadder than last. There are no winners here, only lesser losers.

Neat that MK8 continues to crawl towards a million. It will be the first Wii U game to hit that mark, won't it?

But hey, new Xbox One owners in Japan can all get together and form a decent 6 on 6 touch football league.

 

[ZeroXZee]

I wonder if the Mario Kart 8 DLC (and the marketing that comes with it) will boost the game a bit.

Well, probably almost all sales of MK8 (if not all of them) comes from the bundle at this point. Probably Xeno X will have a bigger impact in MK8 sales.

 

[allan-bh]

Neat that MK8 continues to crawl towards a million. It will be the first Wii U game to hit that mark, won't it?

No, New Super Mario Bros U sold more than 1 million (Helped with bundle too).

 

[Nintendojitsu]

With the PS4 scooping up most of the major Western multiplats as Japan exclusives, you can expect the Xbox One to reach 100 units or less in the very near future.
