Disgaea 5 Complete (Switch) hits 110K pre-orders in the West versus 20K sold in Japan
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
Japanese developers can no longer use the "the game will not sell in Nintendo consoles" argument for putting their games there.
And that's great because we will no longer miss out some great titles from Japan
I'm looking at you Bamco

So I guess switch getting the jrpgs that were going to vita is all but confirmed by these sales numbers?
I hope other publishers are paying attention.

Come on, less than 3 months is not that bad. Especially when you could buy the Japanese version when it released...

Would be interesting if D6 was announced for a simultaneous release on PS4 and Switch because of how well it's doing.
I'd buy this game again for its western release but I didn't really like it in comparison to the other Disgaea games, though I am glad the series is doing well here.

That's awesome. Looks like Disgaea 6 is a possibility now
We need a Switch will save... chalkboard now
In general. But also not by this much.
it sold better in the west in general, but on switch it sold about the same/slightly better on switch than ps4.

Good. I got Disgaea in the Vita and found it to be a ridiculously complicated game. Hard to play. Gave up.
Still getting it for switch. Just nice to give it another shot.

The interesting thing is that they're only talking about pre-orders, so in theory it can end up doing much much better once it's actually released.

I would buy this one hundred times
We also gotta note that the Switch version is outselling the PS4 version overseas on pre-orders alone, while the PS4 figure was after a few months of sales.

Good times all around
I think D5 debuted on PS4 in Japan with 20,000 - 27,000 copies sold.
I makes me curious how FATE/EXTELLA is gonna do on the NS. I have it pre-ordered right now, but I wonder if more of that audience is going to jump on board the NS in the West to give that game a bit of a push.

You hold the L strongMe right now:
But seriously those numbers are amazing!
Nintendo or TPC has done it before with Pokémon I believe, but only once or twice.

So, selling better than the PS4 version? That would be great for Switch.
I think I am buying this game too.

The 'H' stands for hentai.
It doesn't shock me anymore considering that in the USA and the EU, the Disgaea, Neptunia, Senran Kagura, and Atelier games eclipse the JPN sales.
As far as I know, Dragon Quest, Tales, and the Kiseki franchise are still Japan-heavy.

Media create and Famitsu both had it at just short of 23k in its first week, with there being about 1.35 million PS4s sold in Japan at that time.
As added context, it was the week that Bloodborne and One Piece Musou 3 released, but it's still a massive drop from Disgaea 4's first week of about 80k.

It seems to be by far the best version considering it has all the rip off microtransactions and an extra/different costume. Think maybe the quality of the game may have an effect since it doesn't seem to have the strongest word of mouth unless your a big Fate fan.
But it will sell well, Switch owners are starving for games!!

Thank you for buying Disgaea 5 Complete for Switch
Here is Disgaea 6 for PS4.

I wouldn't even say that, I would say that the sales of all the games so far shows that the people who are buying the switch are buying lots of non-Nintendo games and it also shows that third party can and will be successful if they just show up.
JUST SHOW UP DAMMIT AND THEY WILL BUY YOUR GAMES.
So true, from GameCube to 3DS Namco went full stupid with tales.

Tales of series being a prime example

We hope you will buy a PS4 if you don't already have it and are grateful for your amazing support!!

But also don't have crappy ports in relation to other released versions

Despite the ease of porting between the two and the overall processing power need, I still expect a 70% chance this is going to happen.
As easy as it is to joke about this, NIS has made it very clear that they can't survive on just the PS4 alone.

I wouldn't mind seeing more strategy or turn based RPGs on the Switch. I do enjoy playing them docked at home, but being able to pause and take it with out works great for these games. Maybe we'll see an XCOM port or FFT or just more RPGs in general (SE could do little wrong in bringing their entire catalog over). Whatever the case, this definitely is a pretty surprising number of pre-orders for a port I didn't think would even hit 100k lifetime sales on.
