nice hardware all round, DQ holding nicely



Around the Network

Switch in last 4 weeks in Japan sold around 330k units, and with next week sales it could already hit 1.5m LT sales in Japan.



Calling the 3DS version of DQXI B tier is the same as calling the 3DS itself B tier. The game makes the absolute most of the hardware.



 

The treatment, too, is different. When it does not sell on Sony or Microsoft consoles, companies rarely blame the console. On the other hand, when they do not sell on Nintendo consoles, Nintendo is usually to blame. And I forcefully surrendered the myth that Nintendo consoles do not sell third-party games. Although this version of PS4 Dragon Quest XI sold very well, much due to the high investment. The game is wonderful. How will a lower version sell more? A version that clearly had much less investment?

Thanks for posting the numbers, I was wondering how much they sold in the last 4 weeks, this is amazing sales and this is the system 5th month on sale and it will have a 1 million seller retail game years before any other system, it took dragon quest for ps4 to get its first million retail seller.........if you count digital with retail than Final Fantasy XV would be their 2nd million seller......but Retail only Splatoon 2 might be quickest to 1 million for a system that just come out and did not reach 6 months of sales yet

Yeah that statement really backfired.

Makes sense.  I don't see supply to the EU and NA being a problem until the holiday sales.  The thing will probably be sold out everywhere then before being easily found again after that period.  Except in Japan.  Holiday or not it will remain severely supply constrained unless Nintendo start shipping 200k per week.

I disagree. It's not the most beautiful 3DS games, by far. Not to mention that had the development late, because first, in a version exclusive to the console of Sony, to then start developing the version of 3DS. It was made hastily, with low investment (does not present the best graphics on the console), to plug hole and possibly away from the dedication of the main version, which is the PS4. And yet you want the people to buy more than the main version?



on famitsu numbers, Splatoon 2 is 975k that is crazy
