So gold thread right here? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=206862

I made more sense in that thread than I expected LOL

But I didn't expect Splatoon to basically be the last genuine effort by Nintendo on the Wii U (except Mario Maker).

"Eurogamer also notes that the game was the most downloaded game on launch day for any title released in Japan"

Although I don't know how much that accounts for. But perhaps that puts FFXV above a million in Japan?

yeah...we should find out what the most download title in japan is...dude...that could be a high number..

We still don't know if that means most downloaded game on all platforms or on PS4 only or simply most downloaded Square Enix game. I think it's fair to assume only on the PS4.

It has to be either the second or third option. AC did 200k+ FW. FF doing that day 1 is insane

More than likely yeah but that number is for first week for AC which if I remember correctly had shipment issues and pushed people to buy it digitally. That probably didn't happen on the first day. And first day also means pre-orders. I doubt AC was heavily pre-ordered on the eshop.

Well, the Xbox One sales of KH3 are confirmed now. Less than 3,791.

Yes it had but for how long? It had sold 700k copies digitally as of December 2012. Are you sure that AC NL wasn't heavily pre-ordered on the eshop then?

Pokémon games don't stop selling after 3 weeks. Digimon will always struggle more on a Nintendo console compared to a Sony console.

The Japanese 3DS owners have no shortage when it comes to games where you capture and battle with creatures this year: Yokai Watch 3, Monster Hunter Stories and Pokémon Sun and Moon. There's simply no room for a spin-off Digimon game this year.

I'm sorry but this is just utter nonsense.  A history of Digimon games on Nintendo handhelds:

138   NDS Digimon Story 44,932 217,986
165   NDS Digimon World: Dusk / Dawn 72,308 185,110
333   NDS Digimon Story: Lost Evolution 36,105 80,279
347   NDS Digimon Story: Super Xros Wars Blue / Red 28,499 77,871
467   NDS Digimon Championship 17,812 46,860
125   3DS Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode 37,125 75,987

But all those games cratered from releasing on the same platform as Pokemon, right?

If that was true, then Youkai Watch would've never taken off like it has done.  Might as well have released on Vita where there's no competition, amirite?  

And I mean, why release your first person shooter on PS4?  Call of Duty is there.  Battlefield would be better off coming to Wii U, right?

Can't believe I'm actually having this discussion.

Honestly Kresnik, it just looks bad, that is the reason. 

Next Order looked bad.  There's bad, and then there's this.

Yokai Watch was good (and specifically catered towards Japanese people), there's the difference with Digimon. After 3 good monster collecting games, why would they want to buy a fourth crappy one this year? Look for footage on youtube and you'll see for yourself. How well did Titanfall 2 sell after releasing between CoD and Battlefield?

Surely you mean with digital cards sold in stores?
