Forums - Sales - Yo-kai Watch 3 sells 581k first week (2 days) in Japan; series hits 10m sold total

Hey, its first game is still selling heavily in Spain. That's sexy, right? 40,000+ in seven weeks there, woo-hoo!

Level 5 milks its franchises to the bone once it realises they have potential. Youkai Watch won't last the decade.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

I guess this is what happens when in 6 months you release 3 Youkai Watch games. Still if the legs manage to bring it at 1million it will be a good result. Not great but good.

                           WOW....     lol

 

That wouldn't be legs, you're not talking about a finaly fantasy game.... YW isn't a front-loaded game!  YW busters with a similar opening has sold 2.3m as of now, and YW games stay in the top ten and top 20 for a long time!

Yeah i know. But these numbers are terrible (compared to YW2 because otherwise managing to sell 500k in Japan these days is a great result) and i am pretty sure nobody expected that YW3 would debut with barely half million when it got announced. So let's wait and see.

Of course,  but sadly COMG indicated that ( hence  it's not so suprising ) , which is worrying if you think it! If you know what I mean! ;)

Comg pre-orders rankings remains a great indicator for major game releases! YW had the same extra launch points witht other yw titles and the same ratio while we were hoping   for a great ratio, i.e double of what it got. Which would still put YW3 FW sales under 1m though... 

FW? It's only two days,  to be fair!

Good to know. Not only is this game getting milked to death, but it's not a good game to begin with. It doesn't deserve its success at all.

Go back to making good games, Level-5.

Ni no Kuni 2 comes out next year most likely. That's only, like, seven Yokai Watches away. 



You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt!  I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading.  After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!

Wow, awful first week. So much for great ratio.

My thoughts exactly!



Those are pretty low sales. They probably overdid it with the amount of titles they released in a short amount of time. People may already be growing tired of it.

...or perhaps they just really don't like America as the setting. Probably the 1 reason moreso.
