i doubt builder will have minecraft like legs. but i hope it does. still waiting for the west announcement
Actually, DS3 is March in Japan.
Games that could make a dent on PS4 for the foreseeable future:
February :
Naruto UNS 4
Valkyria Chronicles
Street Fighter V
Attack on Titan
March :
Gundam Breaker 3
Dark Souls 3
Star Ocean 5
April :
Uncharted 4
May :
Dragon Quest Heroes 2
Edit: and I do mean "make a dent", I don't know how many of these will open at 100k+. I guess DS3 and DQH2 will, no idea about the rest.
I would not be surprised if Street Fighter V does even worse. The traditional fighting game genre isn't exactly going in the positive direction in Japan.
I'm positive that SO5 will open at 100k+.
Fair enoughI know. It's just not as simple as copying a one-line quote of the FW sales like I did for the other games
Suppose you could do something similar for FFX/X2 HD too, though I don't know how you'd go about that.
I'm positive that SO5 will open at 100k+.
Being open world I think Toukiden will be more like Dragons Dogma than an hunting game though. Koei is eyeing the money is leaving on the table.Slight difference: Toukiden bombed in the West and the genre is not much popular outside MH. SF and Naruto are well-established properties in Western countries.
If V is right, it will.DQB with 80-100% sellthrough for all platforms, really nice numbers. I hope they bring this to the west
Every year is the same story.Vita could beat 3DS this year.

Then still targeting to Japan because DD didn't succeed in the West as it did in Japan.
If not, say goodbye to the IP. SO4 opened at 166k on Xbox 360 in Japan.
I'm positive that SO5 will open at 100k+.
wow
vita is a monster
Sony/DQB domination
Wii U below 10k and Splatoon out of the top 10(still impressive sales).

They did the major patch so Amazon upped the retail price, and it is still selling
What are de DD numbers in the west?
The base game appears to be at 1.3 million shipped worldwide prior to the PC version. It did 470K of that in Japan.
The "series" is listed as doing 2.4 million, so that would seem to put Dark Arisen at 1.1 million, but it's not listed in Capcom's million sellers. Dark Arisen is at 210K in Japan.
The game later did 220K on PC so far, which I'm assuming are Western sales, or at least "outside of Japan" sales.
Why is KT making a PS3 version of Toukiden 2? Who is that for?
Both Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir and Dragon Quest Builders sold most on Vita. I wonder if the lack of Vita version for Star Ocean 5 and Persona 5 will have an impact on their sales...
Yes, but the lack of success of DD in the west was not so much to do with the lack of appeal of the genre in the west.Then still targeting to Japan because DD didn't succeed in the West as it did in Japan.
Then I don't understand the comment from Pennywise83 since it sold twice in the west than in Japan.
Sell almost a million outside Japan is not popular? I mean each entry (vanilla game and expansion).
As days pass I see more and more Attack on Titan opening closer to Arslan than Hyrule.
Yes now that the Splatoon boost is mostly over, ps4 should sell a lot more on a weekly basis. Wii U also doesn't have much hardware pushing software left.I think the PS4 definitely has a shot at overtaking the WiiU this year.
I would guess Japan or maybe emerging markets. I'm not sure Japanese publishers expected the PS3 to fall off as """fast""" as it did.
It's probably not a hard port for them though given a Vita version exists, so they figured why not keep it.
DD sold that "much" in Western countries because of price cuts; the game debuted dat 92k in first month NPD (and it shipped 1m in the first month worldwide - guess how the remaining units were sold). 470k units in Japan were sold at full price, instead. The game didn't succeed in the West as it did in Japan also considering the different market sizes. It's not that hard.

Then we could say the same with MH4 in the west? They sold 1 million in many months.
Have to agree with you.Especially with NX news/speculation picking up pace,and no major hitters on Wii U that we know of till Zelda.
Nope. 1m shipment announcement came in mid-April, two months after its release. The game sold 290k units in its first month in NA alone (eShop & retail) so it's totally believable the game sold its first million at full (or close-to-full price).
Dragon's Dogma shipped 1m in the first month and sold 92k in its first month in NA alone (retail).
I was trying to figure out the Wii U schedule as well.Anything besides Zelda on the horizon? I know a Shougi game is coming..

Mario & Sonic and Twilight Princess HD are the only ones I think you're missing.I was trying to figure out the Wii U schedule as well.
Zelda
Star Fox
Pokken
?

Edit:
Well, I guess "Zelda" could cover both.
And the two Miyamoto projects (that probably will never come out).

Oh yeah, TPHD.Mario & Sonic and Twilight Princess HD are the only ones I think you're missing.

PS3 was more successful in Europe than NA so ... what's your point without all the picture? We can't rely only on NPD numbers to compare data.
That would fit well with the other types of titles they've been putting out, so certainly plausible.Maybe the rumored Paper Mario.
Oh yeah, TPHD.
I'm not familiar with Mario and Sonic though. What are the expectations for it? Is it more of a filler title to bulk up the lineup?
DAMN.Once upon a time it was a gigantic series.
Now it's a useless garbage heap.
It's kind of like Sonic console/handheld games in general.
