Forums - Sales - Japan sales: M-Create & Famitsu & Dengeki week 20 (May 13 - May 19 )

Metallicube on 22 May 2013

Wow, just horrible sales pretty much across the board, except for the 3DS and PS3 (considering its age) which are just selling "mediocre"

Apparently you must have a "3" in your name to put up decent numbers in Japan anymore.

Valve must do terribly there.

The hell? I thought Summon night had 300 points on COMG?

What's with these low numbers all around? Post golden week stuff this bad?

That happens when you believe comgnet and just comgnet. COMG tends to have a lot of pre-orders for PSP games, but when numbers are out, the truth is different.

For example, another shop, Azalyn had just 25 orders for Summon Night 5, and 42 orders for SMTIV. It's obvious that SMTIV is going to sell more than SM5, and even Kamen Rider or REvelations (combined) have chances to outsell SM5.

I already posted in COMG thread that a lot of retailers blogs are reporting good pre-orders for SMTIV, higher than SM5.

It's better to mix different data from different shops to get a real perception of the market, than focus just in COMG.

So Baldr is dissapoint?

Probably, but I've already warned him about his expectations before. SM5's numbers are not bad, for me are pretty good. But if someone was expecting huge numbers probably it's not good enough.

Also I've just noticed:

PS3>PSV

This is not good news.


Yup. Pretty bad sales, really. Seems to be going back to pre-price cut levels, which is... let's just say terrible.

I don't understand why you keep thinking I'm going to be disappointed. I've expressed the dubiousness of COMG's numbers many times. This is no different from Sword Art Online. I was definitely not expecting 300k lol.

105k without digital for opening week is pretty darn good for Summon Night if you ask me! Digital is probably in the area of an additional 15k sales right now. It's possible to have a lifetime larger than any other in the series, even SN3 on PS2. Although they definitely should have released a Vita version alongside the PSP version. PSP is finally starting to see a decline in Japan, except among the visual novel genre. SN5 is probably the last PSP game I will ever buy.



BaldrSkies on 23 May 2013

Media Create's weekly synopsis:
Summon Night 5 opens with 106k copies sold, with a 79.75% sellthrough. The previous game, Summon Night 4 on PS2, in 2006, opened with 116k but only 53.27% sellthrough. Average age of buyers for the previous games was 18-20s range, SN5 is likely mid 20s to early 30s range as it seems many buyers are series fans.


Considering with digital sales are likely around 120k (it could be higher due to Vita users having to buy digitally), SN5 has succeeded in keeping series fans despite the 7 year gap in releases, and shift in hardware. Very good, another sequel seems quite likely!
