Forums - Sales - Media Create Week Ending 9-14-2014 - Destiny Boost and Huge Debut for SSB

This week demonstrates well why we shouldn't declare the PS4 dead in Japan already, wait for the third party games to come and it should at least do half decent.


If Dragon Quest on PS4 is real, it could even match/outsell PS3



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

Around the Network

So Destiny almost boosted ps4 to xbone launch week numbers, and meanwhile in its second week xbone drops about 85%.



Very impressive sales for a new western IP in Japan! :O Almost 150k combined!

Nice PS4 boost as well.

XB1 very low but expected. Next week should be around or under 1k. I wonder if anything can raise it from the dead in Japan in the future.

A shame Japanese Xbox One fans missed out on Destiny :(

Yeah, I imagine they're both pretty bummed.

I'm sure it would of done over 30k lifetime on that system. We've seen most major western releases on ps3 sell just as poorly in japan, it still annoys methat Destiny was made PS exclusive there. 

Over 30k lifetime on a system that might not reach even 50k userbase this year? Not possible.

The main difference is Destiny PS4 was bundled and MK8 not. That's just another excuse though :P
But still, very, very impressive Destiny boost.

It was not a free pack-in, though. So there is practically no difference except for the new color. MK8 boost was much MUCH lower than it should've been, considering it's Nintendo's biggest IP.

Really? Then it's more impressive than what I thought.

Destiny... GG.



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.

3k for the One week 2 with Destiny? Oh lord, I was right to think it'll do worse than the 360 in Japan. And once again there is a major difference in the Wii U numbers between the two trackers, they need to get their collective shit together.

Guess it'll be fine to combine SSB sales for similar purposes.....

I can't imagine ever combining Smash sales except when comparing them to previous Smash games. Don't make such silly assumptions.

Xbone doesn't benefit from destiny there, it's exclusive to the playstation brand in Japan.



smashing sales for SSB.
Also, that xb1 drop off is harsh but expected
