#5 [PS4] Dark Souls III (From Software) {2016.03.24} (¥7.430) - 289.586 / NEW

:)

Not only does ps4 rule the hardware,  it also dominates the software. Can't see many if any Wii U games selling much this year so 2017 should be even better. 

its really hard to use the word "Dominate" because of this. considering you are excluding handhelds and mainly the 3DS which easily rules Japan.

Nothing big was released in 2016 for Wii U so all the people who bought a Wii U in 2016 had no other choice than to buy the 2015 games.



Isn't this from gaf?

Pretty much.  Ps4 is full steam ahead now and the Wii U is done.  Excellent victory for the ps4.

Do we know when the MC Top 1000 is going come out?

It doesn't come out per se. We need to buy the Media Create White Book 2018 released this April, is a 42,000yen book. So it's quite expensive.

Yeah, I posted it there also.



 

Lmao at Splatoon outselling the PS4 version of Persona 5. Squids are still relevant.

Star Ocean didn't do too bad if you add up sales of both versions. Perhaps it broke 200k with digital sales, hopefully we'll get a sixth entry that fixes many of the issues Integrity and Faithlessness has. The Last Hope is the best entry in my opinion.

Final Fantasy XV didn't do too bad. I'm sure it'll break 1 million this year :)

Monster Hunter Stories outsold Dark Souls III...

Naruto isn't selling too well... I know the West has consistently outselling Japan when it comes to Naruto games.



It is insane how much better the 3DS does than anything on the list, it is honestly going to be missed when 2017 is over since 2017 should be the last year of its complete dominate behaviour.



 

[3DS] Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3   -   607.574

[PS4] + [PSV] + [PS3] Dragon Quest Heroes II: The Twin Kings and Prophecy's End   -   588.093

[PS4] + [PSV] + [PS3] Dragon Quest Builders: Alefgard o Fukkatsu Niseyo   -   572.254

 

 

Great year for Dragon Quest tbh, sold 1.767.921 copies with spin-offs alone.
