Forums - Sales Discussion - Japan sales (Week 52): Media Create/Famitsu/Dengeki - December 25-31 2017

Great to see Xenoblade 2 in the top 20, I hope it continues having some legs.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse on Switch is actually doing well and Pokemon US/UM now is above 2 million.

Good hold for PS4, MHW comes out this month? Sales may stay similar until launch to hype up the game

yeah i think the same :) 50.000 until MHW launch and then in the opening week 100.000 - 150.000

Sounds about right, MHW is going to do great numbers in Japan :)



Nice hold for the PS4, probably in expectation of Monster Hunter World.

Switch still selling well despite the big drop, but I think it won't drop much anymore the next weeks. By now Nintendo should be able to ship well over 50k on a weekly basis to Japan.



Xbox One quadruple the sales of the Wii U! That thing is on fire over there!

Ya looks like media create aka the more relied on numbers shows a lot of good and meh compared to famitsu. I imagine famitsu really going to try showcasing switch and PS4 below media create in 2018.

Famistu has switch over wiiu ltd easy and hardware overall tends to be better but its much more safe imo to just trust MC.

 

Youll have people using famitsu to celebrate ps4 up YoY or switch>wiiu first year but we should all stick to superior tracker!

 

MC got everything going on positive (mostly) for it. Famistsu coming first just makes MC look alot better (aside from HW goals of ps4/NSW)



Media create week 52 is up



Switch and 3DS software is dominating Japan.

Even from Switch's comparatively smaller titles;

ARMS hit 300k
Pokken about to hit 200k
Fifa 18 on Switch has some nice legs
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 on Switch about to hit 100k
