[duckroll]

The true domination will begin when they release The Last Guardian. The Japanese public will see the error of their ways and rid themselves of portables and mobiles.

No, that's actually a sign of the apocalypse. Lol.

 

[Biker19]

The game has a hard enough time running on the last gen systems, I don't think a Vita port is the best idea.

If the PS3 & 360 versions of DB: Xenoverse are bad, a PS Vita version will be even worse as it doesn't exactly even have the kind of horsepower that 360 & PS3 do.

 

[Oregano]

No, that's actually a sign of the apocalypse. Lol.

Yeah but PS4 will sell great in those days before the end and that's the important thing!

 

[duckroll]

and from it a new world will born....one where Team ICO doesn't take 10 years to release their next game.

I would love to see alternate world where Rare is still staying with Ninty and keep churning great and charming game rather than these world.

 

[Chris1964]

I suppose it's safe to expect, on average (with bumps along the way)....

PS4 @ around 20k a week
WiiU & PS3 @ around 5k a week
Vita @ around 10k a week
3DS @ around 30k a week
XOne @ <500 a week

....for this year.

No.

PS4 doing good. Will probably improve as more software gets released.
Wii U going down and probably has no chance getting back up at this point.
3DS on its last legs, waiting for a successor.
Vita struggling to keep alive.
XB1 taking its last breath before its official demise.
PS3 duking it out with Wii U despite its old age.

This will probably repeat throughout the year.

And no.

 

[1st Course]

Zestiria < 10k already

Pretty bad legs even by the serise standards. Xillia 2 was 14k in its 3rd week (Famitsu)

 

[Alo0oy]

PS4 has been on a roll.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Zestiria < 10k already

I'm guessing LTD of 400k in that case.

 

[Chris1964]

At week 8 start YOY comparisons for PS4. It will be behind at YTD at least until June and unless something big happens after summer it will end behind this year

 

[casiopao]

No.



And no.

That's harsh lol.

But I kinda agree on 3ds staying on 30k average here as, unless we get another big hit like AC,Poke,Mon Hun, or Youkai. I don't see how they can sustain the number.

Zelda and Xenoblade 3D for sure won't, Fire Emblem If and Codenamed STEAM is the same.
Popolocrois,and other third party also had the same pull power.

Especially when 3ds right now is more or less saturated in JP.

...... Puzzle and dragon mario had huge chances of selling well I am sure.

Thinking it again, Software front is not so bad for 3ds here.

Fire Emblem, Popolocrois, Puzzle and Dragon, Zelda, Xenoblade 3D, Rhythm Heaven all had good chances of selling great. Not to forget Pokemon Detective and Great Ace Attorney too.^^

Wii U is simply dead sadly. All the effort given by Nintendo sadly does not bear any fruit.

 

[ArchedThunder]

I hope PS4's sales increase enough this year that a lot more Japanese games for the system enter development.

 

[Eolz]

No surprising numbers this week again, apart maybe from the legs of Far Cry 4 and Kenka Bancho.

Put WiiU at 7, 3DS at 35, and sounds right to me.
Edit: whoops, didn't see chris' answer above. Probably lowballing for ps4 and 3ds...

Don't most system sales drop as we enter spring and summer? 3DS sold 48k a year ago, but was under 20k by April. Not sure how New 3DS is expected to stay steady throughout the dull portions of the year.

Same goes with the other systems.

 

[Mpl90]

Mediocre debut for Lost Heroes 2, especially compared to the first one. I'm a bit surprised Kenka Bancho 6 is having some sort of legs (going by Amazon.co.jp, the price hasn't been slashed at all, but maybe it's different in stores).

Pretty good improvement for Xenoverse compared to Battle of Z. And, while not being the best selling SKU, PS4 version wasn't that far from the PS3 one, at debut. Of course, the next weeks will increase the difference, but still, better than what we were used to see for Japanese games on PS4.

Ohh yeah, forget this year is Mario Party 10. I guess Wii U can escape from that 5k average.

3DS at 35k depends on what special feature does new and upcoming games going to bring for N3DS. If the Amiibo game come out, u can bet the Ten(Heaven lol) that the sales would increase.

3DS had a DQ last year in this week, which increased sales compared to the normal trend, which was VERY similar to this year's sales so far.

MPL, have 3DS software release date that we have known for JP? I wanted to see how many times, 3ds had chance of selling more lol.

 

[Pennywise83]

3DS had a DQ last year in this week, which increased sales compared to the normal trend, which was VERY similar to this year's sales so far.

Yes, that's why I'm expecting sales leveling a bit this week, when Majora's Mask 3D hits. The game has a bundle, which might add 15-20k units on top of the usual 30k units.

 

[L~A]

3DS had a DQ last year in this week, which increased sales compared to the normal trend, which was VERY similar to this year's sales so far.

What's more 3DS got a much stronger line-up for GW (Theatrhythm DQ, PxD SMB, Wagamama Fashion 3 too iirc?), so there's that. But yeah, expecting sales to either remain slightly behind last year or roughly the same, but no magical increase or miracle.

 

[gtj1092]

So all the people laughing at the 20k a week expect the ps4 to sell less than a million this year?

Ooohhh actually, seeing that line up I can see it increase slightly above last year lol.

If Ninty is smart, they should be selling special Wagamama Fashion faceplate here. That is a good way to atract young girl and young female into buying New3DS.

PxD Mario should be able to sell 1 mill I guess? Or due to Monster Strike, the ship had sailed?

The line-up is stronger than last year, in particular around the Golden Week. Each month has at least a couple of stronger titles. Than there are always those games coming out of nowhere, that might still able to pull 100k+ units.

 

[L~A]

Damn, forgot Bravely Second. And Dai Gyakuten Saiban should be in May/June, methinks. I guess next time there's a big article in Famitsu, we'll get a firm release date or something.

I also put Kaio because recently the publisher changed the release date from 2014 to TBA, which might be a signt that it still has the intention to publish the game someday.

[Sammy Samusu]

Legend of Legacy deserved more. Oh well, I guess you can't expect retailers to trust Furyu.

God Eater will probably keep Vita from falling to <10k in the next few weeks. Time for a price cut!

 

[Kid Ying]

I'm not one to be fooled by that Oui-yu anymore, but from mid march to the end of april, it probably has its best period in a while outside of holidays considering retail releases. Theres a new one almost every week (one every week? You are surely asking too much!) and lots of bombas to see, so i think it will be mantained above the 5k for a while. Maybe on the 7k..

The only release i expect do do well is xenoblade and i don't even know why.

It got a lot of experience, see JoJo, Xillia 2, etc.

 

[zeromcd73]

I'm curious to see how the new Jojo game will preform this year. The demo is complete ass and previous game had the most negative reception ever.

 

[crinale]

IIRC it was OG Xillia that got bad reception and X2 suffered from it.
Anyway I don't think it will be that much of the problem, for Tales.
For Jojo I don't know what to say about it, though

 

[monpiece]

It got a lot of experience, see JoJo, Xillia 2, etc.

Oh yeah, JoJo may have been even worse.

I can't understand how Bamco is able to do a good job with their smaller games and screw their bigger ones.

 

[Moor-Angol]

Oh yeah, JoJo may have been even worse.

I can't understand how Bamco is able to do a good job with their smaller games and screw their bigger ones.

cause they know big games will sell well at least at launch, due to the name; small games have to be good and then hope for a good word of mouth among early buyers

cause they know big games will sell well at least at launch, due to the name; small games have to be good and then hope for a good word of mouth among early buyers

I believe they have a lot more to lose by making bad Tales games than to win by making great niche games that will sell 100k at best with a great word of mouth.
