Famitsu Sales: Week 25, 2020 (Jun 15 - Jun 21)

OTBWY said: Seems like the Switch domination continues. PS4 barely got a boost from the TLOUII release, meaning that it's all up to Ghost of Sushi to make a difference this year. The TLOUII numbers are okay, but this to me means that global domination over Animal Crossing is not a given. AC was dominating in all regions. Week 12, 2017, Monster Hunter XX came out for the 3DS, it sold...

Ladies and gentlemen, you have to realize that Rol is the same person, that in their signature, expected GTA4 to lose to a arena fighter and mentioned in 2013 mentioned that the PS4 and Xbox One would not outsell the PS3 and Xbox 360 mainly due to sharing the same gaming library. He is in no position to talk down anyone for their predictions as he is just as wrong as anyone else...definitely no...

Sony prioritizing US audience for PS5 reveal because Japan is losing interest

Wyrdness said: OTBWY said: That's great for the 5 big Japanese games a year that come out in the west, but not so good for the rest who keep wanting to make games also for their homeland. I'll add that many of them have to make games for their homeland as not only do they not have the luxury is western releases but even if they did the success abroad is often very limited...

Wyrdness said: Farsala said: "When compared with a breakdown of 15m plus Iceborne across 3 platforms the 6.3m of 3DS is in line with what MHW sold on each platform" It is not. 6.3m and 6.9m are in line with each other's performance. For the 3DS versions of MH, you are talking about 7 years worth of sales (MH4 was 9/14/2013), World in two years has surprised it...

Famitsu Sales: Week 22, 2020 (May 25 - May 31)

in Sales Discussion on 08 June 2020

The data for Japan is incomplete as there is an enormous amount of digital data missing for 3rd party titles. So we never get a full sense of how well any of the games did. Any game post 2017 where Sony was reporting 35%+ for digital per quarter is suspect from Famitsu or Media Create.And as Farsala mention, we don't know what the ceiling for MHW is, it is above and beyond higher than anything...

So you're saying that the Switch "exclusives" will be games from no name publishers who have first week sales of 8k and top out at 25-30k and have no relevance outside Japan. Sorta what the Vita got, gotcha. You should be worrying more about how. after three years on the market, The Switch can release a game like...

MasonADC said: The_Liquid_Laser said: It's a gradual transition. You can look at the top 30 games that Marth just posted. Switch has 7 third party games and PS4 has 6. Switch already has a slight lead. That gap is only going to grow as PS4 gets phased out. And then the third parties will start making switch exclusives? Yeah I doubt it. Switch will...

curl-6 said: So the hardware boost for PS4 wasn't very long-lived; 13k for the week ending May 10th according to the front page. Also, looks like some regular Switch stock finally made it down the pipeline; 3:1 ratio over the Lite. I think 10 weeks is very long lived. The console has been steady to up YOY since the beginning of March. At its low point the console was...

Unreal 5 Demo vs Series X Reveal

in Gaming Discussion on 14 May 2020

Unreal demo is still trending #1 with close to 6 million views in under 24 hours. Sony just seems to reaching a larger number with its small reveals. Its pretty evident, to me at least, that as Sony looks to expand its catalog to the PC, its premier partner will be Epic. I wouldn't be surprised if they announced some kind of partnership for the PS5. Also it seems that it'll be easier for Sony to...

Blood_Tears said: Train wreck said: Its not confirmed because its not true. Sony doesn't have exclusivity on the MLB license. MLB has its own videogame arm called MLB Advanced Media that publishes the R.B.I Baseball set of games. MLBAM was created due to the fact that no 3rd party developer (EA/2k) would pick up the MLB license after 2K ended its baseball license...
