Splat2 vs DQ11

Splatoon2: 1.232mil
DQ(ps4): 1.358mil*
DQ(3ds): 1.742mil
DQ(Com): 3.099mil*


Splat2 needs ___ to surpass in retail!

Ps4: Under 125k
3ds: 509k



Around the Network

So reguarding retail, splat2 will surpass ps4 version by end of nov, if not shortly after but can it catch the 3ds version by years end or no?

Combined its so off (over 1.7mil+ to catch up retail)

How did I Am Setsuna perform in its first week ? Those Lostsphere numbers seem quite low...

Pokkén will be at 100k next week!

Damn, RIP Tokyo RPG Factory.

Lostsphere did terrible, and SE was already making a loss on the studio, this is probably the final nail in the coffin.

This is not entirely true. Yes, they made a loss in the first fiscal year. But they posted a profit in the second fiscal year, after I am Setsuna was released on other systems worldwide. Lost Sphear sales are down compared to I am Setsuna, but the situation is not as bad as you seem to think.

FYE March 2016: 244.19 million yen loss
FYE March 2017: 236.66 million yen profit

They lost roughly 7.5 million yen after 2 years. That's less than $70,000 and nowhere near close enough to make a studio like Tokyo RPG Factory close. Titles like Lost Sphear don't need huge numbers to turn a profit. Reused assets are going to bring development costs down, and the game has yet to be released in other markets.

Ouch @ Lost Sphear! Those are some lousy week 1 numbers.

My question about the Switch hardware numbers: Has supply finally caught demand? Is Nintendo still fighting stock? Are they just holding units for Odyssey?
