Forums - Sales Discussion - Japan Sales 30/11/14 - Pokemon ~ 300k

3DS Domination. B)
Very bumb Vita. :D
Good PS4 and Wii U. :)



Around the Network

Holy bomba week.  Those Phantasy Star sales are terrible.  Around Soul Sacrifice levels; lower than Toukiden.  

And those Etrian Odyssey sales are pretty bad too.  I'm sure it's still making a profit, but I thought this series was a steady seller and yet it's down ~ 30k for no particular reason?  Saturation of people getting tired of yearly releases?

Hero Bank 2 still bombed (why did they bother after the first one?), Edo Blacksmith seems low (barely better than Hotaru no Nikki) etc.

On the plus side, those Fate/Hollow sales are pretty good, especially compared to Fate/Stay on Vita.  Senran Kagura did well enough for a game which released about 8 months ago too.  Dragon Age Inquisition's numbers seem alright, can't really tell though.  Resi Remaster is... hard to tell

Nice to see a holiday hardware rise for WiiU and 3DS (although did 3DS rise?  It's only barely up on Famitsu) and Vita boost is cool... but it won't be sustained.



Expected way more sales for Nova. Another franchise dying ... or on the wrong platform.

Dragon Age: Inquisition sold more on PS4 than on PS3. A hint that particularly people oriented to play western games buy PS4 in Japan.

Another Etrian Odyssey type game on 3DS? Seems they release a new one every week ...

Wii U up without new software? Smash and holidays incoming ...



PS4 and especially PS Vita are doing great. Nicee



PSNova not good at all, almost Phantasy Star Bomba at this point. EO2 bad too, surely series fatigue settling in. Not a good idea to milk it like they're precisely doing...

Fate Hollow clearly well above expectation, if not the best-selling VN ever.

And just pointing out that a Senran Kagura Vita spin-off 8-month late re-release did about 1/3 of what the new main entry did on 3DS FW. Hope the message is crystal-clear to Marvelous...

Hardware all around pretty good, except for the usual suspects in Japan but what does one expect.

Captain Toad's showing it's legs, will be similar in the west. This game will get to 1m worldwide one day mark my words. Pokémon's numbers are good, though I think they aren't that good compared to other Pokémon second weeks, not sure though.



Good numbers for 3DS.



Very bad start for PSN, although I think Vita HW is decent considering the meh start. EO2 also didn't do well either.

DA:I and Fate did better than I expected.

Also Cone. Are those MC or Famitsu sales? You also didn't save the second post for the other trackers. I'm disappointed in you.
