Ohhhhhhh,3DS again 25k in 25th week,back to a decent baseline?YEYEYEYEYEYEYE!And fire emblem releases this week and later yokai watch buster...GREAT DAYS FOR 3DS AHEAD!

Besides the boost by the game releases,the release of pearl white New 3ds xl in the 24th week has contributed considerable to 3DS push I think,for last week and previous week New 3ds xl has sold moderately more than the whole 3DS family was selling in the weeks 20-23 when it had fallen from 24k-26k to 15k-17k.

Since New 3ds xl hasn't interchangable faceplates,,Nintendo must release more colour new 3ds xl variations,worldwide!

Do you think Famitsu may have overtracked it a bit? That would be the only explanation for as I don't believe digital sales are that low.

This data doesn't make me doubt their estimates. At least ay i not yet. Will have to see what number they actually put out.

the way i understand it is that famitsu includes the download cards sold in store, media create doesn't.  That's why famitsu sales week 1 were higher than the shipment.

I get that, but if we use Famitsu's numbers, then you only get 20k of actual digital sales. That'd be incredibly low for this game (and it's surrounding circumstances), so I'm not too sure they've tracked it correctly. That would be more likely than 20k digital sales.

I didn't realize a new Shiren game had come out.

Not sure I'm super psyched about it at this point, though.


It's a port of the Shiren 5 (DS game), with a bit of extra content.  Nothing special at this point.

We didn't get Shiren 5 in the west, though, and Spike Chunsoft seem a lot more chummy at localizations than they did at the release of the DS version though, so you never know.

 

OT: Dengeki updated in second post.

I think digital has seen big growth in 2015 and the success of mobile games is boosting transition. Now a lot of games have different circumstances (supply constraints, digital first), but the trend is there. Digital transition is making very hard to ship correct amounts and is blurring whether a game is success based media/famitsu. Bloodborne, Minecraft, Splatoon and Fire Emblem (believe this will be digimon (digital monster)) are all on different platforms and showing amazing digital success. Heavensward ratio will be interesting to see in coming months.

Kebabs have a unique attribute compared to other consumables. To unlock this effect you need to wolf down a big ass kebab really fast, like under 10 minutes or so and wait for the effect to kick in. If done correctly your movements should feel unbelievably heavy to the point where you literally cannot move at all.

Happy to see God Eater and Sword Art Online. But I am missing Digimon. :/



Splatoon and Wii U is still on beast mode lol.



A handheld gamer only (for now).

Splatoon continues to sell at an incredible rate. I think it's time to look for more ambitious targets than Titanfall to beat. Let's see if it can topple Halo 5.


Will Halo 5 beat Splatoon in Japan? No

Will Splatoon beat Halo 5 worldwide? No
