Not even close. Games don't sell that well digitally. I don't even think it's safe to assume it did 10%.


Games don't sell well digitally, yes, games also don't usually launch digitally discounted. So, like I said, different scenarios and we don't know what the % will end up being in this scenario. Maybe I am wrong, maybe I am not, but since the case is different from the norm, you can't just flat out say I am wrong. (!) :P

Need to savor this one. The last chart with the neatly divided 9 piece pie chart.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

It's by no means a 100% accurate representation of the situation, but it is a source of information on Japanese digital sales.  And, aside from Dragon Quest, no WiiU game has even come close to 10% digital rate.

The numbers Vena was suggesting would need an extra 50% of sales as digital, which very few games on any console achieve; let alone WiiU.

Take a look at Kresnik's thread (here if you didn't click his hyperlink already).

What you're suggesting is very unreasonable.

I was thinking more along the lines of 20%. But alas, I am likely wrong.

I have read the thread.

All of them Vita releases way exceeded my expectations, and Famitsu is a lot more vita friendly this week.
P4U sold well too, isn't it pretty much a sequel to Arena or just an enhanced version just like Toukiden Kiwami ?

Did the PS4 end up dropping under 50k?

Yes, the PS4 dropped from 50k last week to about 6k this week.


Oh there was a typo. I meant to ask if the PS4 ever dropped below 5K, I remember discussions about the possibility of it happening & how it only happened to the PS3 once.

The PS4 reached ~5.2k once, but it never dropepd below 5k!

Edited Dengeki into second post. Media Create numbers seem to be the big outlier this week.
