Square Enix president and CEO Yosuke Matsuda, says the PS4 version is the better selling version.

Even with digital sales for the 3DS included, the digital sales on the PS4 are much higher, putting the PS4 ahead of the 3DS sales.

where the link, because only info I seen from Square is the sell through rate was higher for ps4 because ps4 have 5 million sellers, and there are over 1 million owners of dragon quest......compared to 20 million 3ds with only 1.5 million people owning the game, so the 3ds have a lower ratio.......but I would like to see the article where it says that ps4 digital and retail pass the 3ds digital and retail

also jeez your post was hard to understand lol.

But no, its sold more copies of the game on the PS4 than 3DS in japan.

I think DQ sales have to be over 3.5m+ by now, maybe abit higher, which isnt bad for a DQ game in japan.

Splatoon 2 is having a monstrous boost for NS.

To be fair, Nintendo couldn't keep up with Switch demand even before Splatoon 2 launch.

Switch is doing DS like numbers right now! Been a long time since I've seen consecutive weeks of this calibre outside the holidays. If this continues it will have no problem hitting 3 million + in Japan this year

Great Switch sales.

Crash sales are a big disappointment. The series sold gangbusters back in the day.

"We have seen stronger sales of the PlayStation 4 version than the Nintendo 3DS version, but given the installed base, we have high hopes for growth in sales of the Nintendo 3DS version going forward as well"

 

This the same thing I wrote above, it does not say PS4 outsell the 3DS, it just says for their installed base they expected 3DS to sell more because there are over 20 million 3ds hardware sold, compare to ps4 having 5 million hardware sold, so the ratio of people who own it for ps4 is higher than 3DS, but it do not mean it sold more than the 3DS. Square is hoping they can sell 5 million software to the 20 million 3DS owners, but those owners already left, or sold their hardware to get a Switch, most I see it selling on 3DS is around Monster Hunter XX for 3ds numbers

Dragon Quest 11 holding very well this week! PS4 hardware is also very strong!

Really hope that Crash Bandicoot will be a game with good legs, I would love to see it being bundled with the PS4 in the future!




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

Ps4 so far up YOY it's not even funny anymore. 42k is an excellent result 2 weeks after DQ11. That game is doing so good on ps4. Adding digital it's pretty close to 3DS version which is doing good but should be doing better.

Nice debut for Hitman. It's been available digitally for a long time so surprised it moved that much at retail.

Disagree. The 3DS version is a rushed B tier. While the PS4 versions is AAA tier. The 3DS version is banking the PS4 version. Again, third party profits with nintendo consoles and money  go to other plataforms.

It may not be in glorious 4k like on the Pro but the 3DS version has its own charm and is AAA by 3DS game standards.

This guy is right, they did this with the Wii, DS, 3DS, and tried to do it with Wii U, they make their profit on Nintendo to fund their bigger games on sony and xbox, it sucks, but its the right way to do business without losing too much money.........I think for most 3ds games selling 5000 is profit, unless you have a bigger game and all you need is 100k to 200k sales to profit



Gemmol31 on 16 August 2017

with the last 2 weeks of July from splatoon release to the first two weeks in August Nintendo probably sell through 400k Switch or more, I could be wrong, I do not have the numbers close by to add up.......not bad Nintendo
