Good day Gundam Versus!
Does somebody have a comparison with other Gundam games?

So what you think this game will do in Japan?




It releases the third of August in Japan.


My prediction:
First week: 75-125k
Lifetime: 300k

I hope that it could do even better!

So first FF and now DQ? Square Enix's franchises have fallen off a cliff.

Also Layton. Damn I remember the days it used to do a million in Japan!

Aren't you jumping the gun though?

If this ends with 1700 points and had a similar COMG/Media-Create ratio to FFXV or NieR, then it should match DQVIII and IX's openings. Furthermore, several distinct versons should translate to great legs.

Call me crazy, but I'm fairly certain combined sales will reach 5-6 million. Maybe even 7 if Switch version is unique enough.

Yeah but with less than a month away it still hasn't exploded like I thought it would. I might be but it's underperforming so far. Thought by now it would easily do 1300-1500 combined



Ps4 now selling ~30k a week in Japan. Looks like the hype for future games is real.



Confident Gundam VS. will reach 70 pts today. I just need the LE to reach 110.

I do believe that Dragon Quest will not perform to the series' standards and much less perform like IX did on the DS. But I still believe that it'll easily edge out Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon due to having more time to sell, plus price drops, maybe bundles, etc. I also see the 3DS version of DQ outpacing the PS4 counterpart fairly soon, perhaps even at launch/second week.

 

Pokemon are coming in November as usual, so they'll literally have about 2 to 3 weeks (since the Japanese count the 3rd or 4th week of December as part of the next year) to sell 2.8+ million copies, perhaps even 3+. I don't think they will achieve that , 1.8 - 2 million are almost guaranteed though. 

 

Splatoon 2 is the wild card. The deciding factors are going to be reception and stock for the Switch. If somehow the Switch manages to sell over 3 million, then it could be a close battle against Dragon Quest/Pokemon. If Nintendo can't get it together, it might have to battle it out for the 3rd spot against Monster Hunter XX, which has passed over 1.5 million physical sales by now.

lol Pokemon ultra s/m would be extremely lucky to sell half DQXI numbers lifetime in Japan. Isn't it like an expansion? Is it even guaranteed to pass 1.5M?

I reckon it will be overestimated just like Monster Hunter XX on Switch.

Yeah something like that, but it should be pretty guaranteed to reach 1.5 million, infact 2 million should even be pretty achievable. Unlike Monster Hunter XX it's not a late port, or an expansion of a spin-off game, or releasing on a platform with only a 1 million userbase. Still definitely won't outsell all dragon quest sku's combined.

Seems like its gonna have a pretty damn strong opening according to japanese retailer info provided by hiska hun i think, if not then maybe that user horuhe on neogaf, and Dragon Quest XI PS4 and 3DS have remained at the #1 and #2 position on amazon japan ever since pre orders opened so in my opinion i can't see any scenario in which the PS4 sku nor the 3DS sku don't individually sell 1 million copies first week for a total of 2 million combined for Dragon Quest XI in its first week, and considering PS4 games actually seem to be capable of having some legs now that the PS4 sells a good amount every week in japan and the total install base is nearly at 5 million, with some examples of good legs being Nier Automata, Final Fantasy XV, GTA V and Rainbow Six Siege. Also its easily the most popular game that will be released on the PS4 from July until the end of the year and the largest game to be released on 3DS from July to Pokemon Sun and Moon in November. Not to mention i believe the PS4 will recieve a price cut in Japan this year which will of course continue Dragon Quest XI's legs on PS4 and 3DS has sold enough to guarantee good legs for Dragon Quest XI. All i typed are my reasons for believing the game will sell 3.5 to 4 million copies in 2017. But my predictions are no better than yours so i could be very wrong

My point was, I don't need to expect that Pokemon and Splatoon sell between 3.5 million to outsell DQXI, because I don't think DQXI will sell as much as 3.5 million.

okay then you're predicting major floppage for Dragon Quest and major over performance for Pokemon expansions on the 3DS

the best comparison for Ultra Sun/Moon would be previous expanded versions of Pokemon generations.

Emerald, Platinum & Black/White 2 each did in the 2-3 range so over 2 million seems possible.
