Does anyone know how many days release week had for Bravely Default vs Bravely Second?

At least at Comg it's not doing so good but I think I read on here that it was tracking ahead in overall preoders? So I wonder what points ratio it'll have....:/

Everything else doing good though!

This is something that people focus far more attention than they should. It really doesn't matter if it had 4 days or 2 days. As long as it has a day on the weekend, it's sales will be mostly the same. Especially for a JRPG that will be very frontloaded.


Yeah, fair enough. I kind of had a brain fart when I asked the question and thought bravely second had somehow only one day of sales, which I think would have made a diffrence if bravely default had, say, a full week. I didn't know that JRPGs tend to be frontloaded either. :P

JRPGs are frontloaded because they appeal to a narrow audience that is more likely to buy games at launch. This compounds with the used game market as used copies appear within a week or two and kill whatever legs it could have.

YSO predictions

Week 18, 2015 (Apr 27 - May 3)

[3DS] Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition < 180k 

[WIU] Xenoblade Chronicles X < 90k

[WIU] Dragon Quest X: Inishie no Ryuu no Denshou Online < 90k 

[WII] Dragon Quest X: Inishie no Ryuu no Denshou Online < 90k

[WIU] Hardware - 15-20k

That sounds very low. I doubt the Wii U will be below 20k and Xenoblade below 100k. Maybe he's not factoring in the bundle. Because those numbers would be a tragedy.

How many bundles do you think they will sell, and how many people will get a new WiiU for Xenoblade?

I would think there's like ~10k bundles but that's just a guess. I have no idea about the bold lol

Haven't been to the thread in a while, lots more blue than when I last saw it.

Hope Splatoon does ok. Also interested to see how The Witcher 3 fares.

Maybe the Go Xenoblade Team is messing with your mind Boutros :P

YSO predictions are more or less what was always expected for WiiU and XCX.
