Forums - Sales Discussion - Mediacreate/Famitsu week ending Aug. 30th

JetSetter on 02 September 2015

I honestly thought that Splatoon would drop below 20K this week but I'm happy such a guess was wrong. Nice to also see the Wii U still above 10K as well.

DQ VIII doing well as per usual, my guess is that it will be a million seller by the end of the year. Also HHD will end up passing a million next week (or just barely missing it).

But the big thing for me is that the 3DS is at ~48K this week. I thought by this point in time weekly sales wouldn't go past 25-30K due to market saturation. Glad to see that I am wrong get again. I have to dig around and see how that compares to last year, could be interesting to see.

Look forward to the Japanese charts these days, its one area where the Wii U is pulling in respectable numbers. Seeing Splatoon sell 20k or more weekly is most pleasing, best game of 2015 so far for me.

Wii U still holding - PS4 ready to rocket next week...

Dragon quest good opening that could be an easy mil seller.



Switch!!!

A not terrible start for Until Dawn.

I doubt it will sell much more in Japan, the Amazon.co.jp comments say that important scenes are _sound only_ in the jpn version making it pretty pointless to play/buy.

Why are the Japanese buying DQ8 demake while it should be enhanced on Vita/PS4 with trophies? That's stupid, they're asking for more demakes. Brace yourself for FFXII demake on 400p screen because of those guys.

I think it would be a smart move to prepare the audience with DQVIII for upcoming DQ-games (PS4/Vita).



I cannot imagine toilet-free life.

Kebabs have a unique attribute compared to other consumables. To unlock this effect you need to wolf down a big ass kebab really fast, like under 10 minutes or so and wait for the effect to kick in. If done correctly your movements should feel unbelievably heavy to the point where you literally cannot move at all.

I was expecting 30k for Until Dawn but guess that was being too optimistic, still not bad. PS4 in in pre MGS-hype, maybe the boost won't be that high since already improved compared to last week

ps4 will be at 50k next week and after that the wii u could be at 30k
