Thanks, I didn't know that. Is it just a re-skinned version of V or is it really a new entry?
At this point we can add Sony to the list of major traditional Japanese publishers with a hit mobile game. This is Sony Music Entertainment Japan (Aniplex) and not SCEJ, mind, but still, I think that basically leaves Capcom, Level 5, and Nintendo.
Great question, but no clue. I'm guessing at least the music will be different. We will probably find out more as we near TGS.

3D Mario games do not perform as well as 2D Mario games historically. NSMB Wii U also had bundles that may still have a bit of stock kicking around.

Yeah, it seems Fate/Grand Order, despite the major problems at launch on Android (IIRC) is hitting the right notes for the Japanese mobile audience.

We're all waiting for a real 3D Mario.
The majority of your list will not move hardware in meaningful quantities.
1.2m is the reasonable number to hope for, 1.6m is a number to expect if you think Splatoon is coming to the PS4.
2008 is the third year to market for the PS3, and was also far from being the market leader. The comparison is a bad one and omits the details of the environment in which there was also a healthy Sony handheld, the Wii, and the DS as well as an Xbox that sold more than a 100 units.

Its Sony but its not Sony's gaming division, which I find a little funny.
What is the machination for spending for Grand Order anyway? Gatchapon?Pennywise83

PS3 launched at the end of 2006 and therefore 2008 was for the most part PS3 second year.
Well, Japan really loves 2D platform games. Since that, I can see it pretty logic. Mario Maker will benefit from this and the bundle, but don't know exactly until what point.
While this is true, its counted by when the system released (plus it includes an additional high uptake by market holiday season which leads to saturation faster).

If it doesn't hit 100K this upcoming month, all hope is lost in Japan. :'(
I am confused. Last YTD says 671.683, YTD is 723.365. Doesn't that mean last year totals was just under 700K and this year already at 723K. Why are you saying it's 200K away from 14' sales? Someone dumb this down for me, because I have a feeling I'm wrong...

I would expect it to.

I doubt TGS will reveal a notable PS4 game to release this year.
Can I have a link to last years summary post
I believe it didn't work on iOS at first either, at least judging by the reviews.
It's largely the same as your average f2p game: http://kairosity.tumblr.com/post/125576872324/fategrand-order-how-to-playIts Sony but its not Sony's gaming division, which I find a little funny.

DK and Yoshi wish this applied to non-Mario games.

I think maybe Animal Crossing or Yokai Watch would have been a better example of a hardware mover, considering Splatoon managed to only bring the Wii U slightly above last year's numbers, which weren't very good to begin with. As another user already stated, 2008 is pretty much PS3's second year, and the PS4 will do better than the PS3. PS4's 2016 will more than likely surpass PS3's peak year, 2009, which was around 1.87m. I base that off of how loaded PS4's 2016 is in terms of games, and the price cut it will surely recieve.

That's not likely and i seriusly doubt will happen.
I completely forgot that Mario Maker will most likely be a worthy follow up Holiday Seller to Smash last year and will most likely move some Hardware too. I'd have never imagined that the Wii U in 2015 would/could sell better then in 2014..
Those are handheld franchises, Splatoon has managed to increase the baseline of a console with no games or future potential. Splatoon on a healthier platform would have had the possibility of actually leading to something healthy long-term with proper support, its one of the rare and genuine "a game to buy a console for" events to hit the mass market of Japan and not the microcosm of NeoGaf, and we're talking about a dead weight console that everyone knows is dead weight at this point.
2008 for the PS3 had seen more holiday seasons Nov-Jan (the time where a very large % of annual sales go) than the PS4 by 2015. And as I said, you're ignoring the reality of the market conditions then and now.
Also, given the modus operandi of this generation, let's count our chickens on "loaded in terms of games" when they actually hatch.
The PS4's launch week in February 2014 was over 300k, it sold 60k the next week, so the PS4's 2014 sales had a huge advantage over PS4's 2015 sales. The PS4 in 2015, every week except the PS4's launch week and it's second week, has been out performing PS4's 2014 sales by well over 50%. PS4's 2015 sales just recently passed the 2014 sales in the same time frame, and is closing in on 2014's total sales of 970k very quickly.
Are there summaries for 2012 and 2013 as well?

Well, this is after all, Fate series which had probably one of the biggest rabid fans lol. Their facebook fan group dedicated for English player have even reached 4.400+ in almost 2 month. It is not surprising to see how it stays on top there.^_^ Not to mention the recent "Eiyuu no Ou Gilgamesh" 3 million download commemoration event which will add more event for the players to play.
This game is truly example of "Yorokobe Shounen" lol.^_^ Everyone have been re rolling like crazy and trying to get SSR by doing so crazy and stupid ritual lol.
All the hype have actually makes many of its fans to ignore how bad the "Unlimited Maintenance Works" happen during the early month and of course how bad the AP recovery take. As it took a very long time to even recover a bit AP.
To me you are way too optimistic in terms of YtD numbers for Wii U too. Here I quote my take on the matter:

Gonna make more money then any of Sony's published Vita games.
This may just lead to it having a faster drop-off than normal, then, but we'll have to wait and see. Either way, its based off of a very popular series and universe, so it has a lot going for it if it is even a half-decent game.
2013: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=83263149&postcount=770
I don't think I did one in 2012.
Yeah I agree, but we know Dragon Quest XI is coming to the PS4 next year, so that will be like 200-300k hardware sales right there, and if Final Fantasy XV finally releases next year, that's like 180-200k hardware sales right there. In Final Fantasy XIII week the PS3 sold 237k, so I don't think the 180-200k number for Final Fantasy XV is too far off.

thank you
just no
What does WiiU have this holiday? Mario Maker, TT and Just Dance right?
Last year it sold 620k and it had Smash as a holiday title.

Pretty surprised how popular this gotten with its awful launch and how sadistic the gatcha is in this game.
I guess FATE fans though.
Depends. Does DQXI actually come out CY2016, and does it do so before the NX launches? Or does DQXI launch in FY2016 or tail end of 2016, and the NX is out and has the PS4 version of DQXI... ehh. Moreover, I don't know why you think it will move 200-300k units when the majority of the sales will be on the 3DS. Smash WiiU didn't move 200k-300k units, and that was a holiday launch.
Final Fantasy is a damaged brand. And FFXV is a clusterfuck, let's not try to base anything on past precedent, not after FFXIII happened and the series fell down the rabbit hole.
Yeah, you beat me. I shold have add that exception. Anyway, Mario Maker will do decent.

I think its safe to say that the trend of there being less PS3 SKU's will continue.
One would hope so, considering the declining nature of the active user base.
Well, yeah, that's why I think it won't move as much hardware as XIII did, specifically 50-60k less hardware. Also Dragon Quest XI, regardless of the 3DS version, will sell a lot on the PS4, and it will move a lot of hardware. I'm sure there's many people who by the time Dragon Quest releases would buy a $299 (whatever that is in yen) PS4 to play a console mainline Dragon Quest game, along with other games on the PS4 they may want. Of course this is just my guess mixed with my optimism for the PS4 and i may be completely wrong.
Take DQ and PS4, and replace it with Smash and WiiU, and see how that ended up.
The 3DS will galvanize the sales potential immensely. We're talking about a market that clearly doesn't give a crap about pixel count.
I'll make a separate thread soon, but Bravely Archive: D's Report has hit 4 million downloads and had multiplayer dungeons added:
The game itself is a pretty modest/lower end performer, but it seems they're still working away at it:
They've also retitled the app to have a Japanese name.

FExP will save it.
Smash was absolutely nothing, just like Mario Kart.
Splatoon alone can break the 2014 numbers this holidays with a bundle.
That said, i doubt will happen, but >620k is easy.
I keep waiting for Atlus to retitle that game Performa. Maybe for the west.
Eh, I'd say the Wii U just doesn't have the sales potential that the PS4 has. Also, I think the fact that Smash is a Nintendo game that was out for three months on 3DS before dropping on the Wii U pretty much solidified that it just wasn't going to do extremely well a console that most people interested in would have gotten already, considering the games that had already come out for it, such as Super Mario Bros. U, 3D World, Mario Kart, and all the other great games. I think Dragon Quest XI is just different.
Thats not even surprising lol. Especially when Sony Vita's title have been doing badly here.T_T Of course, the fact that F:GO have been doing well behind the huge Fate fans will make this easy money for Sony.^_^
At first, i also think of that but, recently, it seems the International fans is actually increasing through all this time lol. It seems the fan group in Facebook actually have been promoting this game more than even Aniplex or Type-Moon lol.^_^
The power of "YOROKOBE SHOUNEN" there.^_^
Fixed.
Yoshi, DK3D, and Kirby did well on the 3DS.
Yoshi, DK, and Kirby bombed on the Wii U.
Ah yes, just the opportunity to ask this question.
It seems people expect the PS4 to have massive increases with FFXV, which I can see why, but let me pose this question. It seems to be a recent phenomenon, as in basically only with the Wii U, but seemingly the game-buying market has got more Savvy.
The hardware increases with major EXPECTED releases has been...well...lukewarm. Mario 3D World, Smash and Mario Kart 8 all came and went with much smaller changes to hardware sales then most expected, and its generally accepted that this is because everyone who wanted these games bought the system prior to the games releasing. Now...what if we can extend this to Playstation systems? Would it be ridiculous to say that I expect FFXV to sell fairly well, but not really move the needle on the system's hardware sales all the much?
