It was really smart of SE to make two versions. The chances of people double dipping in the future has increased a ton with this tactic.

Sorry I miss counted lol

Adding digital it's pretty close to 3DS version which is doing good but should be doing better. Nice debut for Hitman. It's been available digitally for a long time so surprised it moved that much at retail. |
Actually with digital the PS4 version is ahead of the 3DS one, according to Square Enix president and CEO Yosuke Matsuda.
Wonder how close to 4m it is by now in japan? (with digital factored in).

I'm hoping that they release the Japanese switch version in the holiday season and give it to us at the same time in the west in 2018.

you do know the 3ds can download games too? are you comparing both ps4 retail and digital against 3ds retail only????

That was their plan but looking at their expectation? The 3DS version is seriously lagging behind and they are expecting more while PS4 is above their expectation.
So far I won't call that a smart move because looking at the sales at the moment the fanbase is split between two version. As they have said so far its meeting their low end of their expectation.
It will all depend on the legs of both version especially 3DS because of the install base and the pending Switch version.
Good hold for PS4.
Awesome sales for Switch even though it was supply contraint.
Nice 3rd week for DQ XI hoping for legs.
And lol at snack world.

Square Enix president and CEO Yosuke Matsuda, says the PS4 version is the better selling version.
Even with digital sales for the 3DS included, the digital sales on the PS4 are much higher, putting the PS4 ahead of the 3DS sales.
The most amazing thing is Splatoon 2 will be Nintendo 1st to reach 1 million in retail only in Japan.....it took ps4 with dragon quest with over 5 million system to get its 1st one million seller in retail only........Switch about to get it in its 5th month its 1st one million retail seller by time it reach the same amount of time the PS$ was on the market in Japan, it will have more one million sellers than PS4

where the link, because only info I seen from Square is the sell through rate was higher for ps4 because ps4 have 5 million sellers, and there are over 1 million owners of dragon quest......compared to 20 million 3ds with only 1.5 million people owning the game, so the 3ds have a lower ratio.......but I would like to see the article where it says that ps4 digital and retail pass the 3ds digital and retail
| RolStoppable said: This week is the final confirmation that Switch production is up. What's worth to note is that we are going to see fluctuations in weekly sales as long as Switch sells through its shipments virtually instantly. Something like 60k (last week), 90k (this week), 65k, 85k, 75k, 85k, 60k, 80k wouldn't be surprising, because weekly shipments aren't going to be consistent. When the DS remained sold out through 2016, the weekly hardware sales also fluctuated with swings of up to 30k units from week to week. |
Is production up or are they just allocating Japan a higher percentage of switches that previously would have went to other regions? NPD data and the availability in europe would suggest this is likely.
