Dengeki Weekly Software Highlights: Week 48, 2013 (Nov 25 - Dec 01)

The 3DS sequel to March 2012's Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai got the top spot this week

90,450 copies were sold
Project Mirai 2 had a ~65% sell-through rate, so we can estimate approximately 139,200 copies were shipped to retailers

Project Mirai debuted last year at 95K and sold-through 213K units in total
Project Mirai 2's debut (90K) is bit dull by comparison

PS3's Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII took second place with 54K units sold

Total number of sales pass 348K (343K PS3 version, 5K 360 version)
In two weeks, Lightning Returns has surpassed the 300,000 super-hit mark

The PS3 versions of Dynasty Warriors 8: Extreme and Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag debuted side-by-side with a narrow margin separating them

63K total for Dynasty Warriors (combining all releases together)
51K PS3 versions (Xtreme Legends 37K + with Extreme Legends 14K)
12K Vita version (with Extreme Legends)

41K total for Assassin's Creed
36K PS3 version
4K 360 version
1K Wii U version

For the people who aren't regulars in Media Create threads:

What is Dengeki?
Dengeki is a website (it's also a brand of magazines / a book and manga imprint) that publishes sell-through Japanese sales data tracked by Kadokawa ASCII Research Laboratories, Inc., a division of Kadokawa Corporation. Every week they publish a nationwide snapshot of Japanese video game sales with the cooperation of more than 3,000 specialty game stores and convenience store chains all across Japan.

Why post Dengeki numbers when you have Media Create / Famitsu in the OP?
1) Unlike any other tracker, Dengeki gives us software numbers for Top 50 sales so we can track low-performing titles for a longer period of time
2) Unlike the others, Dengeki gives us total software sales for every platform, so we can track the relative health of platform software ecosystems
3) Dengeki is a respected sales tracker with 5 consecutive years of being reported each week in GAF threads

Is Dengeki less accurate than Media Create / Famitsu?
1) Dengeki is just as accurate as Media Create and Famitsu. Just because each tracker has quirks and natural deviations from the others doesn't mean one is inherently superior to the rest.
2) Dengeki is the tracker most unfamiliar to GAF / the public, and sometimes people confuse lack of dissemination with inaccuracy in sales figures
3) The amount of retail stores Dengeki tracks is similar to Media Create and Famitsu

Here are the differences between the trackers:

Media Create:
+ Nationwide Japanese sales data from Media Create Co., Ltd.
+ Tracks more than 3,000 retail stores / chains
+ Top 20 software sales with numbers
+ Top 50 software sales without numbers
+ Total hardware sales per platform
+ Sometimes presents sell-through figures
+ Releases first (at the same time as Famitsu)
+ Nintendo uses these numbers in their investor presentations
+ Distinguishes between 3DS and 3DS LL
+ Distinguishes between Vita and Vita TV
- Does not track download cards
- Does not provide software sales figures past the Top 20

Famitsu:
+ Nationwide Japanese sales data from Enterbrain, Inc.
+ Tracks about 3,600 retail stores / chains
+ Top 30 software sales with numbers
+ Total hardware sales per platform
+ Sell-through ranges for all titles
+ Has the most historical data available for GAFfers
+ Tracks download cards
+ Releases first (at the same time as Media Create)
- Does not distinguish between 3DS and 3DS LL
- Does not distinguish between Vita and Vita TV
- Does not report total software sales

Dengeki:
+ Nationwide Japanese sales data from Kadokawa ASCII Research Laboratories, Inc.
+ Tracks more than 3,000 retail stores / chains
+ Top 50 software sales with numbers
+ Top 3 software sales per platform
+ Total software sales per platform
+ Total hardware sales per platform
+ Sell-through figures for a few titles
+ Distinguishes between 3DS and 3DS LL
+ Distinguishes between Vita and Vita TV
- Inconsistent data reporting over the years
- Does not track download cards
- Releases nearly 24 hours after Media Create / Famitsu

I think this is the 2nd week Wii Fit Plus is in the charts. People are getting ready for Wii Fit U. It's going to be huge.

FtS is going to sell significantly less and nobody should be screaming bomba next week because it is normal for re-releases with added content to perform this way.

Not in the Top 20 so less than 20pt. I believe it will sell well though.

Fantasy Life Link didn't chart on Comg either, but it sold 18k at launch and 70k LTD.

You tell me.

Cool to see the game is selling well. Level-5 actually started advertising it recently (TV ad 1, 2, 3 and new trailer)

Christmas + manga starting this month + anime starting January 8th... I wouldn't be surprised if we see the game charting again soon, though I have no idea how much of an impact all this will have on sales. Sales have been pretty good since release, nice and steady.

Me and Sammy Samusu really need this game.

At least for DQX it is just an expanded version. The other two though, yikes. Level-5 have potentially killed off the Layton, Inazuma Eleven and Little Battlers franchises. Incredible.

I find business-y looks at game franchises super-fascinating but don't know crap about any of those franchises. What did they do to mess it all up?

That's terrible for Gran Turismo 6.

In short: excessive milking. But also with Little Battlers they essentially switched genres for the newest entry.

Oh, I didn't expect it to set the charts on fire, was just wondering if we have numbers to compare it. I wish we had download numbers for Fantasy Life Link, maybe we could compare them next week.

Thanks anyway

No one should count Nintendo out, they are still a dominant force in the handheld market. But the WiiU ain't looking bright man.

But hey, at least it's guaranteed the WiiU will sell more than the xbox one in Japan.

But hey, at least it's guaranteed the WiiU will sell more than the xbox one in Japan.

Hmmm...let's not jump the gun.

Unfortunately the GOAT handheld's number is a little less with just 3,651,082. Still it more than made up for it in the next few years ;)

I hope you're not suggesting for even a second that there's a statistically significant percentage that the Xbox One will do even 1/2 of the Wii U's sales in Japan.
Edit: On second thought, I guess there is a >1% chance of it doing 1/2 of Wii U's sales.

I'm curious about Link Between Worlds. Does anyone have that preorder tracker and how does it compare this far from launch vs. the DS Zeldas and OoT 3D?

More popular than Lightning at least

Why did you want that edit? There isn't. XB1 will be lucky to match the original XBox LTD.
