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.

Yes that is what we are talking about! Awesome day for Splatoon and DQ 3DS

According to Comg's twitter, pre-orders of Splatoon 2 have almost reached the planned first shipment number. At the moment is still possible to pre-order, so they recommend to do it before it's too late.

Oh wow! I didn't know they would have this much. Probably around 800-850 their max.

Does that mean 506 is the number of orders?

yes, it means at the 16 or so stores that COMG operates there are 506 customer preorders for DQ11 PS4

on average the final preorder numbers at COMG x 1000 is very very roughly what a game sells first week in Japan, but it depends a lot on genre/title/mainstream appeal etc - niche otaku games usually have a lower multiplier (300-600x), mainstream and western games a higher one (800-1500x), some even 2000+x

So we can expect DQ 11 on Ps4 to open above a million?

well, FF XV had ~700k first week sales in Japan and had ~470 preorders at COMG in total

if DQ11 PS4 gets to 700 or so points then it should definitely be possible for it to open around 1million, assuming the game has a similar COMG preoders to fw sales ratio

Everyone talks about how great DQ PS4 is doing, but DQ 3DS be like, "I didn't hear no bell!"

Awesome day Dragon Quest 11! PS4 version is breaking all records!

Final Fantasy 12 with a good day too!




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

That's because DQ 3DS beating DQ PS4 won't make the former any less embarrassing or the latter much less impressive :p

I was making a Rocky joke :P

I know the PS4 performance is more impressive, being a console game.

 

I do legitimately wonder what effect the knowledge that there's a Switch version is having on sales though?  I imagine quantifying said effect wouls be nearly impossible, but interesting to muse on.

FFXV was released on Tuesday (6 days of tracking), that's probably the main reason it had a good ratio. Dragon Quest XI is releasing on Saturday as regular big games, meaning that FFXV had 4 days more tracked first week.

DQXI will definitely sell more than FFXV first week even with less days, but ratio probably won't be as good.

Maybe 900 max, but that's still not enough to meet demand - I can see big slashes inkoming before release

Probably just means DQXI will have stronger legs, but sometimes it just doesn't work like that.
