Destiny is really boosting now.
| hiska-kun said: I said long time ago that Destiny will be big in Japan. The advertisment is pretty big here, and I can feel the hype. Just to let you know, Watch Dogs finished with 38 points on COMG, and it had a 64k opening. Ratio for western games is pretty high, because COMG is an Otaku oriented shop (that's why Anime and niche games get big pre-orders sometimes). Best openings for PS4 in Japan excluding the Knack's bundle (Media Create): [PS4] Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes (Konami) {2014.03.20} (¥2.980) - 91.903 [PS4] Yakuza: Ishin! (Sega) {2014.02.22} (¥8.600) - 82.540 [PS4] Watch Dogs (Ubisoft) {2014.06.26} (¥9.072) - 63.595 Destiny can beat all this games. |
Nice, a Japanese resident amongst us. Can you give us any feelings on how people there are reacting to the announcements made? Specifically on Dragon Quest?
Destiny shows how big western games are going to be in japan for this gen. also go PS Nova it's your time go for 200k FW please.

I'm not japanese, just living in Japan. It's still early to tell, but yesterday trending topic on Twitter was "I'm buying a PS4".
What I want to know is if from now PS4 promotion is finally going to look eastern/japanese. Until now, in shops all PS4 stands were western focused. Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs, Killzone, Destiny, Diablo... Almost nothing japanese except Metal Gear in adverts.
It will be nice if finally some variety comes. Persona, One Piece, Dragon Quest... I hope they start pushing this games soon in shops and atract the japanese users. I will check the situation this weekend.

Overall quite a good day
Top 2 both climbing steadily and should do quite well for their respective franchises.
DQX continues its late surge upwards, should do quite well for an MMO on a handheld that has been released on like 4 other platforms already =P
Destiny picks up 8 points overall, should do quite well in Japan. The question is can it top CoD sales over there.
The Vita duo of PSN and Danganronpa picking up 2 points each as has KH which really needs to pick up its game in this next month.
Destiny is certainly doing MUCH better than I expected in Japan!

You go DanganRonpa. And Phantasy Star.
I am surprised Dragon Quest is doing so well!
