Ys VIII numbers are surprising. I was expecting it to crash and burn as a late port (as much as I fucking adore the game), but instead the numbers are comparable. Good shit.

Still bad...
The Switch Games Raven approves.
Bad so it should be ported to Switch amirite?
Boy, that made me chuckle a couple of times already.
*chuckle*
Damn it, again. That makes 6 chuckles.

Sure, but it was also on more than just PS4 at retail, and was a good year ago.

Honestly? I'd say it's down to the catalogue being a deep pool at this point, given the software in the top 20 as well. In particular, Sun/Moon and Super Mario Maker are encouraging people to buy even months after their initial release.

Xbox is irrelevant to the Japanese market, so probably no one expected it to chart.
How is doing more than half the first week of the original game bad for a late port? Your expectations are shit.
I'd say PS/Switch is the way they'll play it. Late ports for Steam since they ignore the PC market in Japan.
Code:
03./00. [NSW] Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers <FTG> (Capcom) {2017.05.26} (¥4.990) - 16.404 / NEW
Code:
04./00. [PS4] Street Fighter V # <FTG> (Capcom) {2016.02.18} (¥7.990) - 41.990 / NEWThe trash port of that game sold like 40% of a brand new game on a bigger install base...
What in the world!? And more importantly, why are people buying the game at that price!!??

Almost no one did. Most predicted it somewhere in the 300-500k range lifetime for JPN before switch release.
Many thought Horizon would outsell it before march. Don't know where horizon is now, but nowhere near what Zelda is doing.
Falcom seems pretty resistant to supporting Nintendo platforms at all. I'd almost expect Xbox support first.
Okay what kind of insane expectations did you guys have for USFII it's a trash port that is selling for an absolutely stupid price, I thought it would sell less than 10k FW. Some of you need to get those in check quickly or you're going to be disappointed by Arms first week.
And Ys did pretty good for the series, considering it's a late port.

Sen No Kiseki already shows their plans, PS4 only(in Japan).

lol
I did,
still pissed of that hardware shortages on Switch though - Zelda could perform even better with more consoles out there.
Ideally they'd make their games Switch/PS4 in their home market with a PC version in Western release
But they haven't really been on Nintendo in a really long time so who knows if they'll actually make the move to Switch
Sen no Kiseki III will be the first show of what a PS4 only future would be for Falcom and if the drop is too severe there I can't see them having much of a choice
But Falcom were making PC only games until like 2008 so who knows Kondo might just be crazy

What's the gaf average prediction for Arms?
During the first months of any console people always buy anything
Just look at Bomberman. The game was good, but it sold way more than everyone could expect for a full priced Bomberman
They did have one Ys (V) on the SNES, the only game they developed themselves for a Nintendo platform iirc. Some other games made it too, but they were all ported by other companies (and many of them were notoriously bad, like the DS games).
Fake edit: yup, that one and Popful Mail as Fiendcode mentioned. They've never been fond of Nintendo platforms for some reasons, ha ha.

Already 150k, 200k in a couple of weeks. Guess it'll end up between 250-300k LTD, depending on how strong sales are during holidays.

Popful Mail and Ys V on Super Famicom. That's it I believe.

The PS3 retail version of Revelator sold like 9K copies. And Revelator sold less than Sign which was released a year before. Surely you can't expect Rev2 to do nearly as well as its base game, especially since you already know that an affordable digital upgrade option is available?
Some june predictions from previous MC thread - went through 3 pages and got this:
So I'd say 135k'ish is the average and most common. That would mean about 92k on release and a 55% drop for week 2.
A lot will depend on how much hardware they can ship that week.
Well the more platforms the better. But I expect if the move, they will be the last third paty japanese developers to go a Nintendo platform.
About Arms predictions, maybe 130k fw?

Memories of Celceta was 67k before the budget re-release. Lacrimosa of Dana reached 69k on Vita before it fell out of Media Create tracking (i.e. it'll be higher than that now).
I don't have Ys Seven LTD to hand. It's 70k on Japanltdrank (Famitsu numbers) for what it's worth.

So its pretty much on track to be the best selling Ys, question is, did the staggered release mean double dippers contributing to that or have they managed to capture both a console and handheld audience?

It's their loss if they indeed completely desert the portable audience they successfully nurtured for a decade.
so much of hitting 100k lol

Pretty great USF2 debut IMO considering SFV's debut, the install base, and the price.

It's selling almost thrice as much as the Switch version of Zelda even at this supply-constraint condition, so it's not really a problem of hardware supply. Just maintain the current legs or even go up during those peak seasons and it will eventually get there.
