YW4 could be the resurrection of the franchise. The next couple Famitsu charts will get pretty interesting.

How do you find that out?

The same question was asked around a week ago and someone from the community answered with that date.

Ah yes, I remember now. In fact I think I asked them too where they got it from and they never answered.



So that explains SMM2's performance. Explains a lot really. I think it's gonna be just fine.

YW4 on the other hand, yall are very optimistic. Just because YW1 had a slow burn opening as the series caught on doesn't mean low first week sales of YW4 fortell a revival of YW as a series. There's not much further down to go than this, of course, so if there's a YW5 it kind of almost has to do better, but time will tell if there even is a 5.

"Resurrection" is a funny way to spell "massive decline."

YW2 first week in Japan = 1.2 million

YW3 first week in Japan = 632,135

YW4 first week in Japan = 100,000-130,000 (if YSO predictions are accurate)

People talking about the original YW game's slow start... that was because it came out in 2013, and only really took off after the anime in 2014. There's no new upcoming anime on the horizon that's going to suddenly appear and save YW4.



Nice weekend for FF7. It increased each day.

Well, apparently YW4 is much better than it's predecessors, so with word of mouth, it could very well have a long tail end and get the IP back on track. It's sales might be lower than YW3 in the end even with a long tail end, but if it does get the IP back on track, it would stop the decline and allow for it's successor to sell more again.

That's what I meant by resurrection, not that the sales jump up again first week.
