Hey guys maybe this discussion is a little premature

Who says it's just at comg.  I consider rakuten pre orders and amazon too.  Where ps4 is winning at both. Other retailers have also commented saying they expected 3DS to be leading but it's not.  

 

I think your own assumptions were a bit premature!

To be fair, we are in the COMG thread. The only use we even have for COMG numbers are to make assumptions about overall Japanese pre-orders and sales performance, so it isn't that weird that people are doing it. What else should people use these numbers for?

Its still too earlu to say. I believe that pre orders now will favor ps4 sku (as it being shown) but when sales come 3ds version will be bought.

 

Meaning the more non pre ordering types of people will buy 3ds sku.

Which of those retailers have said that the 3DS version is "massively underperforming?"



2 hours later and the site still hasn't updated yet. Were they forced to close today or what?

So it's not a case of boutros being late? 



Nope. ATM, the numbers are still the same as they were when Boutros posted them yesterday.

This should happen, but because of the install base rather then non pre order type of people. Legs will also be interesting to follow.

I agree with tbone.  I think you'll get more parents and kids buying it at launch on the 3DS who won't have pre ordered it. 



Even if DQ on 3ds sells more, if ps4 sku sells close it shows how well it did. Intial predictions were 2:1 but now its looking like 1:1.2 or something lol
