Forums - Sales - Japan Sales: Tsutaya Game Ranking (Mar 25 - Mar 31)

About the talk Tsutaya vs Comgnet what I can say is the Tsutaya is more indicative to the Media Create sales than Comgnet... in fact the Comgnet have a lot more unexpected results compared with MC tha nTsutaya.

Comgnet is a good indicative for games of the same series... OP and OP2 for example... but not to compare different games.

I'd imagine the Wii U games to be around 20-25k, then. Not great, but not bad.

First time I've seen this, and probably the only time I will . 20-25k is incredibly bad for a DQ game...but, well, Square have themselves to blame

Making DQX a MMO was a stupid decision.

Square should have cancelled the Wii version and released on HD consoles only.   I mean WiiU and PS3.

FFXI was the most profitable FF ever created by Square... DQX even with low sales will be profiatable too.

The bad decision is not make a port for PS3 because the most JRPG fans are in that console... PC needs a version too because the PC users likes MMOs.

they should have made it look like a real  hd game,not a cheap upscaled wii 
version with antialiasing.monster hunter did so and it went wrong.

And releasing mmo on a console with low internet support is not really smart.

Now that you mentioned FFXI.  It gets even easier to see SE mistakes with DQX.

- Unlike FFXI whichs was released during PS2 best days, DQX launched when Wii was already dying while people were in anticipation for WiiU arrival.

-  SE released it for PC too and later on X360.

-  Let's not forget about Wii's poor online infraestructure.



What a dull update.

Disappointed that Holy Sorcery Story didn't show up, gonna be like a
Was expecting Fate/Extra to take the top spot but I guess it's just not gonna be that big. Muramasa entering low as well (is it even gonna crack 25k?) and the Wii-U games even lower.

I am interested in what kind of second week legs we're going to see from One Piece Pirate Warriors 2. The first one exploded but then (I think) got quite bad word of mouth and dropped like a rock. This one seems to be doing a lot better, but I still don't expect it to match Luigi's legs so seeing it on top here was a bit of a surprise.

And yay, Soul Sacrifice hold. Maybe it will have some legs after all. I can hope!

FFXI was profitable on the platform of MMOs...PC (and PS2 I guess, which wasn't dead at the time). No way people will keep playing a Wii game for years, and the U userbase won't be enough to sustain it.

I agree so DQX have to be released in PS3 and PC too... not only Wii and Wii U... that was the biggest mistake.



In an interview with Tsutaya's merchandiser (the man responsible for managing supply to their 500 stores), it's been revealed that Luigi's Mansion 2 and Oboro Muramasa both sold out.

In other words, Luigi's shipments still cannot keep up with demand, and Muramasa didn't have much to begin with. This affects their ranking. One Piece is holding the top here because it has massive supply. Not sure why Nintendo isn't shipping more copies of Luigi after declaring year of Luigi...
