Forums - Sales Discussion - COMG! Japan Pre-Order Chart

LJ finishes its final week on a pretty good note, which is what I like to see.



Around the Network

Demon Slayer is not doing particularly well in terms of pre-orders, a lot of people expected this to be a 200-300K seller but at this point you gotta wonder if it will even surpass 150K



Why would an arena fighter, which pretty much looks like Naruto storm, break records?

I think both are the same developpers.



Pokémon is absolutely on fire for how far out the games still are.

I suppose Metroid is not very popular in Japan...?

no, it REALLY isn't.

while something like, say, fire emblem was reaching near zelda level sales at least in the SNES days (and TBF zelda was never the A rank hitter in japan untill BOTW) metroid was... never sold well, even more so then in the west. if anything, sales DROPPED in japan after the transition to 3d...so dread should sell ok but not great as its a 2d metroid.



A decent final weekend for KnK. Now can it finish its last few days on a good note.

The original sold over 1mil, Super Metroid sold over 500k, Metroid II just over 100k and Metroid Fusion 155k. Everything else below 100k. Metroid Dread should definitely sell over 100k.



That's a lot of green on the preorder charts today, always nice to see.

Aren't Sundays usually slow?
