Did you really expect a Digimon game to sell well on the 3DS when a mainline Pokémon game just released?

It's been 3 weeks since Pokemon released.  And there's a world of difference between "sell well" and "sell 7k first week" for a Digimon game.

Honestly Kresnik, it just looks bad, that is the reason.

So I just read an article that sheds some light on this subject...

Apparently the install base in japanin japan...is like around 3 million ps4 consoles....
so...1 out of every 4 people in japan with a ps4 bought FFXV the first week..
Uhm....that sounds amazing!

No.

Attach rate is little under 20%

Your sources bring darkness.

So your saying ps4 hasnt sold 3 mil in japan? and almost 680k+ digital sales is not 1 out of 4?

if you have numbers for total ps4 sales in japan bring them!

Pokémon games don't stop selling after 3 weeks. Digimon will always struggle more on a Nintendo console compared to a Sony console.

The Japanese 3DS owners have no shortage when it comes to games where you capture and battle with creatures this year: Yokai Watch 3, Monster Hunter Stories and Pokémon Sun and Moon. There's simply no room for a spin-off Digimon game this year.

I'm sorry but this is just utter nonsense.  A history of Digimon games on Nintendo handhelds:

138   NDS Digimon Story 44,932 217,986
165   NDS Digimon World: Dusk / Dawn 72,308 185,110
333   NDS Digimon Story: Lost Evolution 36,105 80,279
347   NDS Digimon Story: Super Xros Wars Blue / Red 28,499 77,871
467   NDS Digimon Championship 17,812 46,860
125   3DS Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode 37,125 75,987

But all those games cratered from releasing on the same platform as Pokemon, right?

If that was true, then Youkai Watch would've never taken off like it has done.  Might as well have released on Vita where there's no competition, amirite?  

And I mean, why release your first person shooter on PS4?  Call of Duty is there.  Battlefield would be better off coming to Wii U, right?

Can't believe I'm actually having this discussion.

Next Order looked bad.  There's bad, and then there's this.

I know, but I still would pick up Next Order over this. At least Next order looks like it has proper Digimon in it.
