The problem isn't the credibility of his source material (first day sales), it's his interpretation of the numbers for the rest of the week that sucks. He said 400k for Mario Kart 8 but it did 325k. I'm sure he had actual access to first day sales but why did he fail to extrapolate to the rest of the week? That's why I don't trust him. |
well, i already pointed that could have been a mistranslation. The blog at that time said: FD sellthrough for MK8 is 60%. Could reach at 400k (without saying if it was sales or shipment). We all assumed it was sold, but then we have this for MC:
[WIU] Mario Kart 8 <RCE> (Nintendo) {2014.05.29} (¥6.156) - 325.892 / NEW <80,90%> => 403k shipped.
A lot of times his wording is strange and difficult to get. I guess it`s because he can`t give the real figures. Just like the NPD`s subscribers that can`t share the data because is in its contract. I assume he can`t share the data because he has a similar contract with Media Create, and the sellthrough is the only thing he really can share.
Anyway i get your point, predictions for the week could be off, it`s true that some times he does it i understand if you don`t like this.
But with the Youkai Watch thing, he clearly said first day = one million range. And you know what? This time his blog was locked just for subscribers. He unlocked the entry when MC numbers were released. I could read the numbers because i`m subscribed in this blog, so I have acces to his post.
So it seems when he is sharing real data, he locks the blog, because making it public could violate the contract he has with Media Create.
I`m just assuming all of this. So we`re free to believe it or not.

I've been digging and there's something I don't understand. Last year FD sellthrough of EschaLogy was also 50-60%. It did 57K FW and it had shipped 100K, does that mean there were no buyers during the following days of FW? If the above is true, then Shallie shouldn't be over Escha despite 10 more COMG points :/ Very good for Oreshika, I see 70K FW |
Tho blog comment for Atelier Shallie is that recently there`re many Atelier releases, and that`s confusing people.
I`m expecting lower sales, even the sellthrough is the same, because probably the shipment will be lower.
For Oreshika 2 i guess we can expect something close to 100k.

I wonder if Super Smash bros for 3DS will really outsell the Wii U one, with Japan' current state it wouldn't suprise me but we'll see.

It has got a decent chance, to dethrone the current champion PSP MHP3 it just needs to average 57 points a day for the next 84 days , I guessing when MH4G gets into its last couple of weeks it will be doing over 100 points a day.

Fanbase is established and the series surely isn't getting less popular? Look at MHP2 -> MHP2G. A re-release can still surpass the original.
