I dunno, I'd never put it passed third parties to shaft a Nintendo system against all logic. If DQ12 is a PS5 exclusive it would not surprise me.

I expect Sony to try to combat their fading relevance in Japan with aggressive moneyhats.

DQXI was a Switch game before we even knew what Switch was this is because the decision is Horii's and his alone not SE's, even with preference involved DQ has never broken it's main rule of landing on the best selling active platform in Japan.

So another crazy comparison. We know NSW will be close to that of 3ds launch align by end of year. It depends on how much the gap is shrunk but it should be estimated anywhere between 100k-400k

That said 3ds sold in Y5-7...

Y5: 2190k
Y6: 1874k
Y7: 1825k.


I think NSW will outsell 3ds year 5-7 in its Y5 😆

Here is a comparison to NSW sales in 2020 (Q3 missing 1 week)


Q# 3DSY5 -3DSY6 -3DSY7 -Tot ——— NSW20

Q1: 638k — 427k — 630k — 1695k —— 1700k

Q2: 295k — 241k — 242k — 778k ——— 967k

Q3: 428k — 329k — 491k — 1248k —— 1217k

Q4: 829k — 878k — 464k — 2171k ——

Are there any informations how big the console markets are in those countries?



DQ12 could be PS5 exlcusive only if Sony moneyhats, which they could. They have an excellent relationship with SE.

MHW was quickly number 1 on Amazon iirc.
Rise seems to be having a lukewarm response even in Japan (JP youtube views are considerably lower than World for instance).

If you really do think MHW has a shot at outselling rise in Japan then all you are doing is setting yourself up for a disappointment. You really think a title on a console with a miniscule userbase  has a shot of outselling a similar entry on a userbase that is likely to be 3x the size?

Never said that. Furthermore, install base increases do not proportionally lead to increases in software sales.

So relatively small markets, but it's enough to make some numbers.

Also interesting how much better the Pro is doing over there compared to the baseline PS4. That's not something I expected to happen.

No, i just wanted to stop him from spreading fake news as he mentioned youtube views as the penultimate to gauge the interest of Japanese customers as MHR news is far bigger than MHW news in Japan based on preorder and japanese magazines, blogs views, and etc.
