Forums - Sales Discussion - Japan sales (Week 27) Media Create/Famitsu/Dengeki - July 2-July 8, 2018

44k in summer with no releases is good.l especially for the price of the console.
Although some people are expecting way too much from Octo and CT. Switch will make it to 52k-55k i would say, not 60-70k or else that would be really surprising.

A bunch of huge hits? There's more than Pokemon and Smash?

You also kinda ignored my entire point, Jan-Oct was filled with small-medium sized titles while Nov/Dec has two of gamings biggest franchises.

Switch is the only hardware that exists in Japan.
BotW going up as the king it is 😎

If the switch did 1.2m and the PS4 1m..... isnt it doing like 80% of the Switch's sales?

Surely that counts for something? abit better than non-existance.

It is still close behind the switch thanks to that spike only, wait some weeks and you will have a 1,5x ratio. On December the ratio should be way above 2x.

Ah, Winter 2018. Some at some point between December 21, 2018 and March 20, 2019.

I do believe Yokai Watch game typically come out in December though, so most likely December.

YW 1 2 3 all came out in July. We thought it would benefit them to release it before Pokemon. But they announced a smartphone game very similar to Pokemon Go. They probably want the mobile game to go popular first before they release YW4 on the Switch.

They said Winter and 2018. means probably December, if that isn't case they could say just Winter there was no reason to mention 2018. year in that case.

Wheres that thread on Ys switch outselling Ys PS4? That's definitely not going to happen now.

It's outselling YS PS4 in the rest of the world though, so unless you are strictly talking about Japan it is happening still. At least according to insiders on resetera

looking like a disgaea 5 situation. Where it's selling great in the west but not so much in Japan.



Bad result for Zanki Zero. Huge blow to Spike, this game has been in development for some time... It's so good though.

Dengeki ranking is up, time for market share data.

Ys8 : PS4 60491 (45%) PSV 63157 (48%) NS 9539 (7%)

DeathMark : PS4 2040 (13%) PSV 12116 (77%) NS 1496 (10%)

Once again, more proof that 3rd parties are struggling on Switch (despite the growing userbase and the shitload of advertisment)

We also have some intel that Shining Resonance has a hard time selling on Switch. On the other hand, Fate Extella Link crosses 150K physical. Not very difficult to see where the market is. Let's hope that publishers notice...

Late ports of late ports not selling a ton, how surprising....

People see what they want to see *shrug*.

Whats funny is that you are againt publishers making more money publishing on more platforms.Go figure your reasons for that.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
