I'm sure you probably can't tell, but why exactly did Persona 4 have that sudden rise for its last 30 days? Just ads? It seems pretty spontaneus, and I wanna know if it's possible that P5 goes through the same...

P5 going to be huge. Capcom underestimating it lol

They announced the release date.  P5 provably won't get as sharp a boost but it's got a decent cushion.  Between ps3 and ps4 hopefully it picks up the pace rather then level out. 

I consider calling Atlus 'Capcom' stealth trolling. Reported.

Wow im retarded lmao xD Im not even going to edit that lol

Tales of Zestiria (PS3) 14 days left ....338 pt (+9)
Tales of Berseria(PS3+PS4) 14 days left 242 pt (+3)

Good day for persona, and yakuza is finally showing up

I really don't think that FFXV will do as bad as COMG makes it seem. I check Amazon pre-orders a lot and FFXV never left the Top 20. Usually this happens only with game that open near or at 1million. And while Amazon may not mean much, FFXV is high on Rakuzan Books or something and everywhere else. Maybe the pre-order bonus of COMG is not very attractive?

This week, there are lots of things to comment.

First of all, a great first day for Etrian Odyssey. There were lines outside Sofmap Akiba, and it's interesting to note the amount of female public that bought the game. Also, at Santy Shop, the game even was sold-out, today there is new stock, though.

I thought that it was only TSUTAYA doing this, but it seems that it's nationwide the 1,000yen discount on PSVita with the purchase of one game.

As it was said before, the new Splatoon bundle is fully available at stores, and even though the older models are about to be replaced, the ones in stock are selling much better, as Hiska mentioned, because of the price barrier.

Pokémon GO is the star of this summer, and is pushing Sun and Moon pre-orders. ORAS, and XY (the latter in a less relevance) got bigger sales as well.

Some stores are having big interest on Persona 5 reservations.

Btw, i remember that Tales of Zestiria started getting many points after they aired that special episode. Strange that they didn't do the same for Besteria.
