We are not talking about Japan's Market, just the Western Game sales for Consoles on Japan, Wii U, don't have a single western game besides Assassin's Creed, Xbox One, is little to no Existence on Japan, so you need to take the Playstation 4 numbers, throw away Handheld, Wii U, and other numbers, they don't have Western games on it, so is impossible to track something that don't exist.
On 2015, The Top 10 Best Selling Playstation 4 tittles, 4 from the 10 was Western Tittles, with 1 of them on the top 5, and the other on the top 3. On the top 20 best selling Playstation 4 games of 2015, 10 of the 20 are Western Tittles, so Saying that only 10% of the Consoles sales of Software on Japan, are Western Games, this isn't true, The Western games are big, like some Japanese games, the Difference is that on Japan, the Japanese games Sells so much that they Chart, they also have a lot of Japanese Exclusive games that launch much time later, or even don't launch out of Japan, on other countries Japanese games don't even Chart, but also, Japan's Wester games sales on consoles, are bigger than a Lot of Western Countries on Gaming. |
But I am talking about the Japanese PS4 market. The 10% is from that number and is probably the highest of all devices. It can be higher would be interesting to check out. And like I said MOST don't create a significiant sales bump when they release. When Sw battlefront on PS4 released with 120K first week the PS4 sales went up with 1% or 200 units more than the week before. While when MGSV released in japan the game opened with 292K fw and the sales bumped up with +50% or 20.000 units more than the week before.
GTA V and COD BO III both also created a significant bump but when I see those two games sold around 300K LTD and were released in a bundle it isn't that impressive. It is like saying people are buying Xbox one's for GOW ultimate edition and Rare replay because they are selling millions while the truth is that those two games had a hard time getting above 500K-1 million before they were bundled.
