Massive 18% discrepancy between Famitsu and MC for Xb one

73% drop for Attack on Titan for PS4. That's not too bad I suppose. Though I guess for the release week numbers it got a 73% drop isn't a great sign for potential legs. What were it's Japan reviews like?

News flash minecraft on vita alone is 1mil seller, then you got the WiiU+ps4 version. (PS3 too) It's probably well over 1.5mil in Japan. And besides minecraft is a year old now on vita and it outsold DQ (vita) this week that's not even 6 weeks old yet

Three versions VS just one version at retail.

Do you know that Minecraft sold at least 1.5 million in Japan in consoles (mobile not included)? Yes, you probably do. You're a master manipulating numbers.

yes it did for a lunchbox price tag lol.

also look here at Japan

No the ps4 sold more than the 3DS this week.  The 2DS had a special once off limited edition that they don't track.  Even if they tracked the 2DS the ps4 would have still beaten the 3DS. 

 

It's sweet winning streak over the 3DS continues :)

So you think 2ds sold that low? (under 1k?) Anyway whatever makes you happy

No I think 2DS did ok.  But the 2DS is different to the 3DS. 3DS lost to ps4 again this week.  And seeing media create give ps4 the win makes me so happy.  It's very unusual for a home console to dominate Japan.  I'm going to bask in the glory while I can because the good times like now don't last forever. I'm so happy :)

Dragon quest builders is already a success and most certainly made a handsome profit. Don't expect minecraft legs without at least a minecraft price tag and minecraft level of updates.

If it's not a success because it won't do minecraft numbers then 90% of releases are failures in Japan.

Ps4 has really silenced the critics and fanboys no one can really deny its world wide dominance and with still so many titles to come it's going to be an absolute bloodbath.

It's so glorious to see it on top every country in the world.  Japan was a hard one to please but it's finally doing it :)

PS4 and 3DS virtually tied again. Nice for both: one is a rising home console in Japan, the other is a very old handheld that's still selling decently well.

Anyway, looks like Attack on Titan managed to hold pretty well and Splatoon is still doing good.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Minecraft crossed the 500k mark (just on PlayStation systems) on February 26th 2015. In other words, a year ago.

Minecraft crossed the million mark on September 16th 2015 (again, just on PlayStation systems). 

 

PS3 version by Mojang: 328,074 copies

PS4 version by Mojang: 125,514 copies

PSV version by Mojang: 301,183 copies

PSV version by Sony: 293,424 copies

Now, the game is over 1.5 million adding also Wii U version. 

 

Now, when you are showing numbers to me, do it with reliable sources. There're 3 official japanese trackers. Showing vgchartz numbers to me is like show nothing, I don't care about them.

26./33. [PS4] Grand Theft Auto V [1/1][New Price Edition] (Take-Two Interactive Japan) {2015.10.08} (¥4.990) - 13.516 / 72.494 (+31%)

GTA V is just a beast. The game originally came out in 2013 yet here we are in 2016 and the ps4 version still sees monthly increases. Life time you can see gta V sell another 150k at least in Japan and that's just the latest sku. There were other ps4 versions before the best price.

King of the legs!
