Forums - Gaming - Japan Sales 6/30/14 – 7/6/14

Good hold for Freedom Wars, clearly the balance issues didn't matter that much. WD not bad as well, it can probably go near 200K.

Sad for Girls und Panzer tanking (joke inside) and Akiba's Trip PS4 weak as expected given the terrible port. I just realize Island days made less than 1.8K sales : that is absolutely pathetic, who was making that again?

If you want Akiba's Trip, get it on Vita, PS4 version flopped deservedly.
Excellent numbers for Freedom Wars, very good for both versions of Watch Dogs.

Depressing numbers, glad Youkai will spice things up next week.



That drop seems alright for Freedom Wars considering there were some concerns about people complaining about the difficulty. These are the 2nd weeks of all the Vita games which broke 100k in the first weeks (if that makes sense). For a hunting game, and for Vita games, 72% is fairly respectable, I was worried we might see something more God Eater style (>80%). Basically matched Soul Sac, but at a higher level

Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster* - 50,368 / 224,943 (72.0%)

Toukiden – 43,245 / 167,519 (-65.2)

Freedom Wars – 43,160 / 232,048 (-77.2%)

God Eater 2 – 38,534 / 303,365 (-85.4%)

Soul Sacrifice – 31,406 / 143,368 (-71.9%)

Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment – 30,629 / 173,865 (-78.6%)

Persona 4: The Golden – 24,877 / 162,005 (-81.9%)

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva f – 17,851 / 177,539 (-88.8%)

3rd Super Robot Wars Jigoku-Hen – 17,806 / 144,747 (-86.0%)

 

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva f 2nd – 15,784 / 115,969 (-84.2%)

*FFX had stock issues and it was selling over the new year which seemed to sustain its sales for longer than would otherwise have been the case, so FW probably would have been 2nd in this list all else being equal, plus it's still tracking ahead against where FFX was after 2 weeks

Not a lot of good news besides that, though I guess the longer Vita stays above 15k the better

Wii U little less of 10,000. they will sell less of 9,000 first week of Augost, and more of 30,000 with Hyrule Warriors. (20,000 with Bayonetta 2)

PS4 will sell less of 5,000 for muuuuuuuuuuuch week... maybe even 3,000.

Have a little faith, maybe the disc version of Wii Sport Club (July 17th in Japan) can keep it over 10.000 till Hyrule Warriors arrives.



Mk8 holding and Yokai watch continues to surprise me



                  

PC Specs: CPU: 7800X3D || GPU: Strix 4090 || RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 || Main SSD: WD 2TB SN850

The calm before the storm. With YK2 releasing this week, hopefully it makes up for the low sales of the 3DS in Japan this year.
I guess that means everything will drop, and 3DS will skyrocket. Unless everybody who will buy YK2 already bought a 3DS, which is possible.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.
