Funfact: The previous highest opening for Pro Baseball Spirits on a single platform was just under 110k. And there haven't been a massive explosion of baseball movies or anything to expand the potential audience. |
The last game release of Pro Baseball Spirits was released in 2015 and that was for PS3/Vita. I'm sure there was some built up demand after all of these years. Lately there has only been the smartphone version of the game, Pro Baseball Spirits Ace.
I bought PBS 2019 for my PS4 Pro. The last version of the game I owned was PBS 2014 for the PSP!
Maybe people bought MUA3 the digital version? I bought the digital version myself. As the game is published by Nintendo it is also part of Nintendo's special for Nintendo Online members. You can buy two tickets (redeemable for 1 Nintendo game each) for 9980 yen. (plus you get about 500 yen worth of gold points back). Compared to the normal price of about 7500 yen with tax, it is a great deal getting it at about 5000 yen for the digital version. I picked up MUA3 and the new Fire Emblem game (both digital versions) with my two tickets.
