Forums - Sales - Media Create Sales: Week 11, 2015 (Mar 09 - Mar 15)

Kerotan on 19 March 2015

Apparently the final fantasy themed ps4 is sold out in japan. Depending on shipment numbers sales this week in japan could be very good for ps4. It's possible Bloodborne won't boost sales that much the week after because the previous week will be already high. Turning out to be an awesome period for ps4.

I wonder how long until it's up YOY.

PS4 is 100x more than Xbox One. When do you expect the Xbox One to exit the Japanese market?


They won't.

Selling few is still better than selling nothing.

Plus,that could estimulate jap devs to go full playstation.

MS should start backing small jap devs though...

Yeah it seems they've been throwing pennies at visual novels on Xbox One but they need to do a bit better then that lol. They might aswell open up a few mid-size studios there make games for a worldwide market but with Japanese taste coming first.

Even only 10k shipped would be excellent for numbers.



Thanks jlmurph!

Combine that with already high numbers,  battlefield and resident evil it has a chance at doing over 40k week before Bloodborne.

PlayStation Vita Japanese Software Sales (Media Create Physical/ Famitsu Digital)

Media Create and Famitsu need to start to agree a little more. The problem is not weekly, but 2015 Total Sales.

Media Create (YTD):

3DS - 561.583

PS4 - 286.593

 

Famitsu (YTD):

3DS - 589.707

PS4 - 257.154

 

Famitsu tracked a lot of 3DS the firsts weeks of 2015. My theory is that now is fixing its numbers. 

And one of the trackers should fix PS4 numbers (less for MC or more for Famitsu).

As I said a lot of times, every person should pick a tracker, but stick with it and avoid shifting when numbers look better on the other. (I'm talking in general, not refering to you)

Digimon on Famitsu is very low too. Dengeki and MC have the game +70k.

Also, note that Famitsu digital sales are estimates.

 

What I can't understand is why VGC takes an average between Media Create and Famitsu. I can't recall anyone, anywhere using Famitsu numbers as any indication of sales in Japan. It appears to me as if Media Create are the accepted source for the industry, as is NPD.

It would take less than 5 minutes to realize that they don't use a literal average.

Very nice chart Blowoverking!

Nice to see P4G so high up

It can even be second, since Famitsu tracking had only started months after its release.

It most likely is in a dead heat for second with Freedom Wars. A lot of these numbers are kind of outdated considering I had to take them from the 2013 Media Create top 1000. So a game Like God Eater 2 is more than likely over 400k especially since it got a "Best" release last year and a game Like Dragon's Crown was the highest selling Digital Vita game in 2013 but we don't have numbers.
