I'm not taking it personally lol xD

 

I just don't understand how you can say these games are performing badly when they are outselling the vast vast majority of Japanese developed home console games lol.

;)

I mentioned though that you're comparing against other western games. What home console games that are japanese, that are blockbusters, sell at those numbers? You mentioned SS, I told you it was not selling well enough for what is expected of it.

 

I'm not comparing them to other western games. I'm comparing them to Japanese developed home console games. Why do you say that I'm comparing them to western games when I'm not? @_@

 

Black Ops 3, Fallout 4 and Star Wars Battlefront were respectively the 3rd, 5th and 6th best selling PS4 games of 2015 in Japan. While Fallout 4 and Battlefront have yet to pass Bloodborne's lifetime sales, it will happen pretty soon. So they are selling better than Yakuza, Bloodborne, Final Fantasy Type 0 HD, etc. They got outsold by Dragon Quest Heroes and Metal Gear Solid. However Cod has better legs than Dragon Quest Heroes and will likely outsell it lifetime, making Cod the second bestselling PS4 game released in 2015.

You can try to downplay their sales by comparing them to megahits like Final Fantasy, Splatoon and Mario, but it makes about as much sense as saying Final Fantasy is selling badly in the west just because it's getting destroyed by Cod in sales, ie. it makes very little sense.

Have a good day sir!
