The battle for Q4 looks lost, the battle since New 3DS launch isn't finished yet. This week will tell.

What it needs to do.
It is curious to see someone suggesting the N3DS is failing. From my point of view it surpassed expectations, pretty close to 2013 numbers since the new models launched is too good to be true. The band aid strategy seems to be working so far.
But we are talking about the 3DS strong territory, what would the effects be when the device reaches the other markets?

Yeah so the Dragon Quest Bundle made up ~56% of last weeks PS4 HW sales and the GTA bundle likely made up quite a bit of the remainder.
Wonder how big a drop we'll see next Media Create

Whoa, that's quite a bump that PS4 had just gotten, though it's most likely due to the Dragon Quest bundle.
Hopefully, other exclusive games like Bloodborne & Disgaea 5 will convince more Japanese gamers to pick one up.
PS3 is very old now, dude (8 years now). Sony are more focused on trying to get as many PS4 owners as possible, especially in Japan.

So mixing tracker information for a second
They probably shipped less than 2000 copies to retail and still managed to sell less than 10% of that. Ouch.
Like what's the point of such an exclusive anyways?
Earlier games of 5pb's well-received game like Stein's Gate were released as Xbox360 exclusives IIRC, and they sold decently too.
However this time XB1 install base in Japan is a bit too low compared to XB360 backthen, to pull the same effect.

I know it says 40% FD is a normal start for FFE, but I'm curious how that compares to other FF games and the like.
What's the general expected sell-through to become on Wednesday? It's be great if it became 80%+, but I'm thinking 60% for some reason.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Hiska-kun, did Media Create comment on amiibo sales?
Well, at least Gundam seems ok right now.
What do you mean by "as always"?
Do we have any anecdotes from Japan? Would be cool to see how the general WOM is there.
From my experience, Amiibo's are gaining traction here in the States.

We did, but I wondered if we had an update since?
I'm sure a PS4 and/or Vita version (maybe even X360?) is in development as we speak. After the abysmal Xbox One hardware launch and subsequent weeks of sales in Japan they knew the X1 version wouldn't come close to recouping development costs, they have to release it on one or more viable platforms (and 5pb has an extensive history of doing that). Same goes for the two other exclusives they have in development for the Xbox One.
That's quite a decent amount of sliver PS4s sold.
Also many 5pb./visual novel fans probably have migrated to PlayStation platforms because that's where most of these titles are now.

SCEJ or MS are crazy. MC has sold nearly 200-250k from PSN and theres still no retail release in sight.
Yeah, its very likely PS4 will get this game as a port later on.

We heard the same about Etrian Odyssey and look how that turned out!
I respect 5pb for at least trying with this console, but it genuinely does seem mis-guided at this point. I wonder if they'll still see through the "exclusivity" of the other games they were developing.

You respect 5pb. for accepting Microsoft's money?
Anyway, I know hiska-kun already posted about that but here's MC analysis for this week:

Thirteen flew over the cuckoo's nest
I guess it could sell 250-300k.

It seems that this game haven't completely bombed on 3DS. It's some kind of party game with all prefectures' mascottes:
It might held nicely during holidays and maybe deplete the first shipment.

MC has Kirby just in the Top 30. In Famitsu, the last position is around 5k units. Kirby is still selling, but won't be higher than 750k units.

That's ridiculous high it won't sell like that.
I have to wonder what SE expectation are. They are banking super hard on that XV demo.
True, but I think that's more about them banking on the PS4... aka, making sure the lack of popularity of home consoles in Japan won't hurt FFXV sales too much. Which is probably why they're going all out all their port and stuff (FF7 and the classic FF games they said they wanted to bring).
I don't see any issue with this, all trackers have a margin of error. As long as thier margin of error is accurate then you should expect 50% of SKUs to be overtracked, and 50% to be undertracked.
However, the difference in old 3DS sales between trackers seems to be well beyond the expected margin of error. So either one of the trackers made an unreported error, or a retailer tracked by one, but not the other recorded an extremely large increase in sales which has been disportionately upweighted to the whole market. Lacking any evidence of specific retailer promotions on the old 3DS model I'd lean towards the former explanation rather than the latter.

Yeah, Sega collection was probably shipped in a limited amount.
So apparently, DQX producer really wanted to say something during today's event at JF15, but couldn't, but maybe Horii will say it tomorrow (during the DQX stage event)?
Gee, I have no clue what he's trying to get at.

yes but you have to consider that one is a small shop located in Nakano Broadway where I work
I bought 3D Archives on launch day in Yodobashi East Shinjuku and they had around 20 stocked (but a guy before me also bought it and I bought 2 copies); gotta check tomorrow but already yesterday in Shinjuku there were a lot of people, the winter holiday madness has already started
