It looks like the base isn't 30,000 either. Wonder what it is now. I really thought it would be 30,000 with a strong IP this week, as much as I hate said IP.

 

I think ps4 pro pre-orders might start to eat up a little of the ps4 regular sales. Also maybe pre orders for ps4 slim final fantasy edition?

Also small boost for xb1 thanks to battlefield 1 bundle. BF1 is doing pretty well in Japan.

I think people are putting way too much importance on the PSPro in Japan, Final Fantasy I do agree, pro not so much. Given i can see your point that pro could eat up a bit of the PS4 regular sales for a few.

Ps4 still over 25k!

Looks like psvr did in fact boost hardware last week. And considering its completely sold out it will boost it again when it's readily available. MC not publicly tracking it anymore. Only subscribers have access only the numbers will be tiny with no stock.

Good opening for BF1. It will have digital sales of 15/20k aswell. Looks like comg was wrong about its performance.



Minecraft just keeps on going on Vita and Wii U, impressive.

Imagine it being on the Switch! 

Japan will eat it all! 



Pocky Lover Boy! 

Might as well post the comparisons I made on GAF:

 

PhotoKano Kiss 2013 Kadokawa 30,172 / 61,620

Amagami Ebikore Plus 2014 Kadokawa 20,519 / 42,036

PhotoKano Kiss Ebikore 2015 Kadokawa 9,512 / 18,812

RecoLove: Blue Ocean / Gold Beach 2016 Kadokawa Games - 16.171 / ???

 

World Trigger; Borderless Mission 2015 Bandai-Namco 23,334 / 50,392

Macross Δ Scramble 2016 Bandai Namco Games - 24.607 / ???

 

I'll do a proper Macross comparison shortly.

Still waiting for the prophecy of the Wii U's comeback in Japan to come true, I'm starting to think that it might not happen after all.

Is there still a future for Macross? Another victim?



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.

Never thought I'd say that, but it is happening: XOne outselling 3DS and 3DS LL combined in Japan

It's a victim of Delta being far less popular than Frontier alongside natural attrition of IP's.  

Anime games were bigger in general during the PS3/PSP era, so it's not surprising.  The sales are in line with other moderate-appeal anime games on Vita (Madoka Magicka; World Trigger etc.) so I think it'll be okay.
