Looked much more for Evil Within at COMG.


Isn't Japan notorious for having weird discrepancies between pre-orders and actual sales, even on official tracker charts?

Not really. They clearly expected a good bit more out of the PS4 title and that aligned well with even our expectations from pre-orders. People just didn't go out and buy it as expectations and predictions had forecasted.

There are oddities but they aren't really "normal".

Tales of the World didn't even match Tales of Hearts R sales on Vita last year. Bamco are downright stupid to have delayed Zesty for a smartphone port bomba. I hope they realize how much cost of opportunity there is in making those 3DS games when they can make superior games on Vita.

It's Pro Baseball Vita

54K for mobile port is surprising...


3DS Tales of the World: Reve Unitia - 53,903 / ?
3DS Tales of the Abyss - 68,218 / 156.279
Vita Tales of Innocence R - 47,312 / 90.162
Vita Tales of Innocence R best - 8.042 / 8.042

Are those correct numbers? Because If those numbers are true, wouldn't that previous user be a liar? Given anything to feed their own agenda, so I wouldn't put it past them. 

Add: Ahhh the used Media Create to fit their own agenda, but seeing how close the number is, wouldn't that mean both games bombed? Also wouldn't that also mean Choas 3 bombed super hard.

Yes... Media Create Sales aka Japanese NPD

Those WiiU numbers are terribly terrible...

3DS is holding well. Hopefully they announce info about the New 3DS in North America and Europe soon.

Wii U keep dropping though :/ Hopefully Smash Bros. can give a nice boost.

There's a reason both MC and Famitsu are reported here, it's because both are respectable. In any situation such as this one where the two "disagree," it's typical to average them together or simply conclude that the games in question are close enough in sales to be effectively equal.

Or we could just wait for Dengeki.

More relevant in what way? I don't remember many other multiplats selling more on PS3

In every way? From Japanese developers, PS3 still get some exclusives, or ports that PS4 don't. Some other user said that some western games seems to be performing better in PS4, but is not always the case. FIFA 15 is higher on PS3, and Destiny for PS3 is still charting on Famitsu, not sure how big is the PS4 lead, but I reckon it can eventually pass it or get very close.

MK8 bundles (white and black) on November 13th with the release of Captain Toad, can provide a boost (maybe not a nice one)
