Tsutaya's report

- Zelda TriForce Heroes is the best selling game of the week, but it had a slow start. It's expected to improve its sales by the end of the year.
- Second position is for PriPara Idol Gran Prix No.1. It was very popular and it sold almost the double of units than the last entry released on March.

Man Splatoon is just beastly. Also interesting that Monsters Strike could end up doing the same as Puzzles and Dragons. Big end for the 3DS this year in Japan. Probably the last time it finishes first.

Also, the PS4 version of God Eater: Resurrection will make up a much bigger portion of total sales than the PS4 version of God Eater 2: Rage Burst, so it does suggest that the fanbase is migrating.


I don't think that's true at all.  PS4 version of Resurrection looks to be selling on par, maybe a little below Rage Burst.  Which indicates audience hasn't expanded at all for this type of game in ~ 8 months.

You can't really look at proportions.  Vita version was bound to drop - it's a remake/port of a game which is a) readily available on PSN for Vita and b) was part of a UMD passport program where you could get the game for free on PSN if you owned the UMD at the time GE2 released.  The pool of people who are willing to re-buy something like that on Vita is bound to be much smaller than on PS4 where the game isn't already available.

Keep in mind that PS4 has all the cross-play SKU's and those off shoot games and I think the anime as well bundled in across various versions. 

Even if you are making the "fanbase is migrating" argument, it's going to take more than a few thousand sales moving from Vita -> PS4 to sustain a franchise which regularly sells 400-600k.

I don't think hunting games are properly going to take off on home consoles at all.

Interesting view. I personally think that Horizon: Zero Dawn could break through, considering the positive response by the Japanese who actually followed TGS when it showed up - the main character feels like she's going to be really grating after a while, though.

Nintendo also had a chance to pull it off with Monster Hunter being a paid set of exclusives. You'd think that they'd actually utilize more of the 3DS hardware like what they did for Smash for 3DS. Maybe even pull off a savegame hack to be able to masquerade as a true cross-play title: play on 3DS, use wireless functionality to continue on Wii U, then sync back to 3DS.

I guess we'll probably never know.

Why do you say that? But yeah I agree that Japanese gamers seemed quite excited about Horizon after TGS.



Any particular reason for no update today? The numbers are
up on COMG at least. I had a look. Won't spoil anything, but I think it was a good day

I doubt it. He's canadian after all...



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.
