Forums - Sales Discussion - Tsutaya Game Ranking: Mar. 30th - April 5th

PS owning the chart



Around the Network

Well this is one PS dominating week



Yess Digimon Story CS only dropped one place!! Its legs



I think this is the first time I've seen this top 20 ranking without Youkai Watch in a long time.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Come join The 2018 Obscure Game Monthly Review Thread.

Well this was a somewhat interesting week.

Poor Rodea.  I had really hoped it would do okay, but not even in the top 10 for 3DS games and #4 for WiiU... yikes.

 I really doubt NIS and Yuji Naka expected big numbers for this game. It's about as niche as you can get and wasn't advertised very heavily. I have a feeling it will do better in the west but it still won't sell that great. 100-200k LT WW would be a huge accomplishment, imo.

I'd imagine it'll be limited in the west by print run.  NISA games tend to not ship a whole lot of copies.

It's weird, I thought there would've been a bigger positive reception for this game on western forums given the nostalgia-love for Nights, but I'm only seeing fleeting posts here and there from people interested.  I'm going to be keen to watch its western sales at least.

 

Anyway elsewhere, SAO Vita doesn't tumble as much as COMG suggests, which is good.  Minecraft showing legs which is lovely too.  Shame for Terraformers - as I said on GAF, it seems that FuRyu doesn't have much luck with anime-licenced titles anymore.

I think the problem with Rodea is that it doesnt look like Nights at all. The color pallete, graphics and character designs of Nights are alot more appealing. When i look at Rodea i dont see Nights, i see a crappy Wii game that got delayed too much. The controls and graphics added to the overall lack of appeal compared to nights motivate that impression to me.

Hate it though, because i really like Yuji Naka games and i would be very pleased if he could make a comeback. Much like Sakaguchi and Yu Suzuki, they are great talent that was lost with old SEGA.

Nope.

Not horrible but definitive is not looking good... seem that is dropped at 30,000/35,000.


Are you guys forgetting Bloodborne sold out a lot of places? It sold through 87% of it's first shipment lol.

 

I'm not quite sure what to make of XC3D. It launches below OPPW3's second week, despite Warrior games having traditionally bad first to second week drops, and its FW was a bit below 100k. I guess this time it didn't drop as much.

It was sold out first week, indeed the people expect a better second week...

Not if it didn't get a second shipment in time

 

Besides, Bloodborne was behind One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 (PS3) on last weeks Tsutsaya ranking, but it still ended up far above it on Media Create. I would wait for Media Create before I call it "bad legs" or anything like that. We'll know for sure in two weeks I guess.

Well, we will see, but don't expect a miracle for the third week. :D



Super Robot dominating the charts as expected.
Digimon is still on the charts, this is nice!
Sword Art Online: Lost Song, Minecraft Playstation Vita Edition and One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 have good legs.

Hope Vita hardware to be around 23k+ and PS4 hardware 40k+.
