As always you still doing your agenda. A new game selling more than a remaster, wow never seen that before, I'm amazed. And Western games sell well in Japan, we're not in 2010 anymore. It's time to wake up.

Dragon Quest Builders making more money than Minecraft. Don't make me laugh. Your nonsense comparing the prices and not the sales is so simple. If you are using the money made as an argument, why don't you include the MONEY SPEND? It's a fact that DQB budget is far larger than Minecraft, why don't we compare this if you want to talk about money? And the huge promotion that Square Enix did for the game? They filled Shinjuku station of Dragon Quest Builders marketing. I've never seen something like this for Minecraft. Actually, when Minecraft was launched, it didn't have add on TV and any kind of promotion. It kept selling week after week thanks to the word of mouth. That's the best promotion weapon, you don't have to spend any yen promoting, people will do for you instead. 

Say that DQB made more money than Minecraft is a manipulated argument, because the truth is Minecraft is making more money with a lower budget and almost no promotion. 

To be clear, I'm not saying that DQB sold bad. It sold according to many predictions that we, sales observers did. We were expecting a big opening and poor legs. And here we are, Minecraft already outselling it.

If you're talking about The Division, since was produced by a non japanese company, precisely because the Yen is lower than the dollar, they earn less when they exchange yens to dollars. 

If you are talking about DQB, since SE is a japanese company they don't care about exchanges rates because the yen is their local money. And of course the console versions are more expensive than the Vita, because they cost more than the portable version, so need a bigger amount of money to make profit.

There're two SKUs of Zelda TP HD, the Amiibo SKU and the standalone version. It has been reported by some stores that the Amiibo version is selling great, and they needed a new shipment to meet demand. On the other side, the standalone version is barely moving.

Note that the Famitsu and MC numbers combine both versions. If the Amiibo SKU sold 80% of the shipment, and the standalone only 40%, that makes a 60% average. That is what Famitsu is showing.

Good posts hiska-kun. It's always good to read posts of someone that understand well the market.
