Forums - Sales Discussion - Media Create Sales: Week 17, 2014 (Apr 21 - Apr 27)

Very strong FW for SAO, I always believed it would surpass 100k but not near 150k or even more with digitals, and it just smashes that 150 LTD target to the wall.
TFFCC did well, but below my expectations, good for them the bundle helped 3DS to keep the throne this week, next week every platform should be up.
MH Frontier flopped hard, just DIE CAPCOM you and your pathetic greed for money.

On the plus side, we all came in with low expectations and now Im crazy happy to see SAO's numbers after I predicted just 90k opening =D


And that doesn't even count digital sales, which were quite healthy due to the PSN bonuses :)

May I ask you what kind of bonuses? I just know it won't be any price reduction for the game, it just got launched. Or is it related to some pre-golden week event ?

Some costumes plus an entry into a raffle to win some figurines and such.

Why?

Golden Week ^.^

I'm assuming that is Japan's version of Black Friday.  Are we talking about the same kind of boosts, in the 100%s?

What were your expectations for the game?  At least according to VGChartz's data, this is how the sales of the original looks like

r there any big or well known Japanese games coming out for the ps4 anytime soon?


At this point their is not even a releasedate for the next japanese ps4 game... Hope i missed something..


On may 1st Child of Light is coming for the PS3 and PS4. Infamous SS is coming May 22nd for the PS4 and Trial Fusion is coming the 29th for the PS4. But yeah you're right, no system sellers :/

well child of light is on other systems so just infamous and trial i hope sony watches this and dont let the ps4 go like wii u



Maybe this Week 3DS have outsell PS4 WW!
PS4 last week= 127.000
3DS last week= 105.000
...If 3DS have sold 21.000 in Japan, and this Week 34.000, have sold 13.000 of more, and was also increased even in the NA and EU... While PS4 has declined in all territories.

Its basically a series of holidays within the span of a week. I think boosts are usually 20-30% so not huge but certainly noticable

After-bath suit for Asuna ?? 1M digital sales confirmed.

It is actually a good move to stimulate PSN sales, make people try going for digital versions.

I just checked and it made a bigger FW than the previous entry, I don't know why but I thought the game had 100k+ FW. I wish it will have better legs.
