Also :( Tales, 100,000 decline pretty much (rounded) I knew it was going to decline, but that is a lot from the previous entry.

Tales of Zestiria (PS3) – 340,891
Tales of Zestiria (PS4) -  5,045 (Launched later)

 

It is not that simple.

According to famitsu Tales of Zestiria sold nothing digitally, which to me sounds impossible.

Famitsu January sales with digital

01. [3DS] Yo-Kai Watch 2: Shinuchi (Level-5) - 642.516 (634.709 / 7807)
02. [3DS] Pokemon Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire (Pokemon Company) - 366.131 (361.437 / 4694)
03. [PS3] Tales of Zestiria (Bandai Namco) - 316.824 ( 316.824 / - )

 

However the numbers are far below MC.

Here you can see a deal to buy Tales of Zestiria for 30% off digitally, (50% with PS plus) ~3 months before its release.

So not only does Zestiria have whacky digital numbers, Berseria will for sure have more digital sales.

Isn't famitsu sale tracking for Digital based on digital cards sale? (Never understood how they had access to that metric). 

I do believe Berseria percentage wise will have better download rate, but again it seems the franchise has been swifting towards a decline for now. Hopefully like everyone said, they will re-evaluate the franchise, and start pushing it in the right direction.
