Forums - Sales Discussion - Media Create/Famitsu Week ending Jan 18th

PS4 numbers are pretty decent. It's been the top selling home console for the past few weeks, going off media create. Hopefully the streak continues ;)

Well then.

Software wise, Kenka Bombcho as I expected.  I'm very disappointed.  Although I've only played one game in this series, I really liked it, and I'd be sad if this was the last one.  It actually looked like a very good entry.

The Diabolik Lovers game is another PSP -> Vita otome port which seem to be making up its library these days.  Wonder if these sales are enough for Idea Factory to keep pumping them out.

GTA V keeps performing beyond my expectations, this time on PS4.  Good for it.

And Final Fantasy Explorers up this week... stock problems last week?

 

Hardware wise it's a bleaker picture.  XB1 is absolutely dead and will likely be discontinued from retailers soon I would imagine,. unless something is done.  3DS is commendable for the state the market is in these days, but the New 3DS doesn't seem to have really done what it was supposed too.  PS4 is falling slower than I expected but both it and Vita and in pretty poor shape.

And WiiU, well...

I think it is also one of the few western games that sold a million over there. Think GTA V reached it already combined.

This is Spartaaaaaa!!!
Not even Gerard Butler can save XOne in Japan anymore... At this rate it will not survive through this year.

PS4 selling really well, seeing it only has GTA software-wise. Next month, Dragon Quest should significantly boost it.

I think you misunderstood me because that is what I said :p Unless there are recent western games that did sell 1m+ on handhelds in Japan?

No I was making the point that it be western developed or not doesnt change how much of a success it has been.  Ignoring digital sales and Nintendo published games (because OMG there is a lot that qualify) its one of just 4 games to sell 1m in Japan on home consoles from the 7th and 8th gen. Theres potential for 2 more at least (FFXIII-2 and RE6) when counting digital as they are both above 900k.
