Forums - Sales - Japan sales week 39: Famitsu and Media-create ( September 24-30)

VicViper on 03 October 2012

19./17. [3DS] Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate # (Capcom) {2011.12.10} (¥5.800) - 4.987 / 1.564.975 (-14%)

I feel sorry for the new digital 3DS Bundles... digital copies are going to ruin this game numbers... it won't reach 2 million anymore for a fact, only in the hearts of those who believe. Bummer

Jokes aside, Vita will be gangbanged this holiday in Japan, each port by a system, 3DS, PS3, Wii U and even PSP. Sony, how could you let this happen?

The only exclusive game is... Assassin's Creed! It's really unbelievable! And this is its SECOND holiday there!

Isn't Soul Sacrifice a 2012 game?

And in fairness, wasn't the system released on Christmas Day proper there?

PS3 poor week is probably because people decided to wait and get the new model.

It only dropped by 2.5k, so if that's the case the new model won't be lighting the world on fire.

No, it was delayed at TGS. Now it's Spring 2013 (Mar-May) and since Monster Hunter 4 is hitting on March, it's probably for April or May.

But add COD to that list too.

Ouch. I don't expect the game to be a system seller, but that means that this week is basically guaranteed to be Vita's last Big Week of the year.

Yikes. At least it has an Ys game!

Capcom have Monter Hunter Tri G at 1,600,000 units (number 28). Are famitsu and Media-creat accurate?

Capcom's figures are shipped, Famitsu and Media-Create are sold.

That's shipments, I think third one too - first one was 420k (launch), 1.2 million and then 1.6 million when the second one fell short.

They're probably already on the 4th shipment now, they should update that page soon.

But yeah, MC and Famitsu are probably right on track with the game, since they track sold to consumer copies, which is always lower than shipments.

Oh okay, thanks guys.

What about this Vita and Dreamcast thing?


Vita is now selling worse than the Dreamcast.

To be fair, Dreamcast had a price cut in week 31.

I doubt they'll be shipping much more of it. By now, the market is flooded with used copies. It'll jump up with increased adoption.
