My bad, I didn't know someone was already doing this comp. To be honest I only come to the thread to check the numbers Boutros posts for my charts and then leave. I don't really read anyone else's posts. Since you're already doing this comp then there's no need for me to do it as well.

Yeah, no prob. I have posted the comparison every 4-5 days before but I am planning to do it prob every 2 days for the last hype period. You have done a lot of PS4 comparisons and I assume you are quite familiar with the ratios, so would you happen to know why DQH2 had so ridiculously good ratio? Was it because there was better "deals" at other retailers and COMG was left in the dust? I was busy back then and didn't follow any sales talk and this has been bothering me ever since.



I cannot imagine toilet-free life.

Kebabs have a unique attribute compared to other consumables. To unlock this effect you need to wolf down a big ass kebab really fast, like under 10 minutes or so and wait for the effect to kick in. If done correctly your movements should feel unbelievably heavy to the point where you literally cannot move at all.

Difference here is that XIII didn`t launch after an entire generation filled with sequels to a mainline game that wasn`t all that popular. And it was the first HD FF, that also gave it some major boost.

What I`m trying to say is that XV isn`t moving in preorders like it does because of appeal but because of the entire situation. That includes the change on the market, basically non present mainstream audience (which was still there, atleast to some capacity, last generation) and an entire generation with sequels to the same game. Then on top of those things is the fact that it is different from other mainline games and has a long and troubled development history, you can`t expect consumers to blindly preorder the game and doing as well as usual with all those things considered.

Nomura won´t have to deal with its performance be it positive or negative, that´s a quite clear concept, therefore it looks like that he might have dodged the bullet if these comg preorders are any indication. All these arguments are pretty irrelevant when it comes to SQEX bottom-line and to how FF15 performance in Japan compared to previous titles will be judged. There is no doubt that Tabata will be made responsible by SQEX.

Just talking about comg numbers now, just look at how close FF15 is to Persona 5 and Persona 4...

So you really think SQEX main focus is to get sales in Japan with this game? And you really think they ignore the facts I posted? Well okay let`s see what will happen after launch.

Their main focus is to sell 10 million, loosing about a million from the Japan will hurt that.

Your so called facts are just strawmen to excuse an eventual underperformance in Japan, as proofen wrong by the million-sellers on WiiU. Japan is still one of their main markets when it comes to Final Fantasy and there is no indication that FF15 will sell more than FF13 in the West to compensate these lost sales.

Thanks, so it needs about 8 a day to beat persona 4. Hmmm might not be accomplished, but at the same time, I did say earlier today that ratio is different than what it use to be.

P4 had it's last boost starting with 14 days left, P3 with 12, P5 still didn't.
But yeah, looking at the 8pts average it needs from now on, from what we have up until now, it doesn't seem likely it'll hold P4, but it may also had its boost in the next two days and change things, if it doesn't come until then, it'll be very hard to hold P4.

I have used these images before, but now its even more relevant:

That's gruesome.

No, it's because i hope too that persona will sell very good, and at the moment it seems it could become the best selling game on ps4 in japan

Oh yeah I know that's not what I was talking about XD
You said "finger crossed". It just sounds gruesome to cross only one finger lol

Like I said let`s see what will actually happen, no need to uselessy drag this on.
