Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Dark Souls 3 had/has also stock problems. 

Ok, I have missed those news completely and did a quick search but did not find anything...does not seem issues are widespread though, anyways gotta wait for Famitsu estimates



I cannot imagine toilet-free life.

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.

If it turns out digital for DS3 is expectedly high,  will you change to decent DS3 week?  I think it's done well. 

Of course. Those Dark Souls III numbers aren't bad, but after that high YSO prediction, well, you know why now i'm disappoint... still, those dark Souls numbers are ok.

If digital are good, That's just great. It need a 19% digital sales first week for beat Dark Souls II... Seem possible.

It's your fault for believing the YSO numbers. Since when do they set the bar for sales in Japan? They are just predicting the numbers based on COMG numbers, it's crystal clear. People should stop giving them attention anyway.

hoped for higher DS3 and PS4 sales to be honest ..

PS4 had a 7k bump. Dark Souls is not FF or DQ you know. Personally i was expecting a lower bump cause Bloodborne already has been released (and they have the same fanbase).

Also i think Joker 3 is a sign that the Dragon Quest userbase have moved to Playstation. I expect Heroes 2 to open higher than Joker 3. Maybe DQXI will open lower on 3DS then what most people believed.

PS4 Slim and DQXI HD will do wonders in Japan!

I think DQXI sales are gonna be 60/40 in favor for 3DS which isn't bad for PS4. I also expect the game to come to NX.

Well, it seems digimon can reach 100k(like gundam!)at least which is good!
Was hoping more from miku, but it was obviously going to do less :/
Pokken hold up pretty well too which is nice to see.
Dead or alive Xtreme was never a big seller and they make a lot of money through DLC so I'm sure they're fine with the sales as they are, especially since this is the biggest opening in the series I think.

I do believe DS3 had some stock issues too though.

Huh, but didn't it do better than it's predecessors? I can't remember.

I'd say YSO predictions are fairly accurate in the long run. Yes they are badly wrong from time to time but generally the ballpark is spot on. Also I consider their predictions far more honorable than all those "predictions" (more like analyzing the current situation than predicting the future) made few days before MC/Famitsu numbers release.

Maybe but if it comes it will come after the PS4/3DS versions. This is what Square Enix said.

That way they'll get some 3DS owners double dipping.  It makes the most sense financially.
