Yeap good examples. *Cough Persona cough Fire Emblem Cough Animal Crossing Cough Minecraft *Cough Metal Gear Solid... Let me clear my throat *Pokemon cough cough cough Monster Hunter cough smt cough musuo (i dunno how to spell this) genre spin offs such as DQ warriors (and LoZ to an extent).
No new ips either like splatoon that just sold over 1.6mil on a horribly embarrassing userbase.
Again FFXV will do very well WW. Numbers will be no lower than 5mil so its doing good but making excuses for its sales in japan need to stop. Game can still get to 1mil there, but people need to stop acting like decline is ok over there because of "markeg changed". Many ips in the west have fallen too, much more than in japan i say and we dont use that for an excuse |
Sure, because a few games that do well speak to the entire market as a whole.
By that logic the US gaming market is declining faster than anything because a game like Rise of the Tomb Raider didn't sell well where that series traditionally does sell well.
Or, we could look at the market on a whole. Here is an example from 2014 that took 12 seconds to find:
