Switch will heavily fall behind the 3DS soon, unless Nintendo miraculously fixed their production line issues recently.
I think that's the point he's making.

Mind Disgaea 5 did poorly in Japan to begin with.
It'll be interesting to see how the western sales compare. I imagine Disgaea 5 will fare better in that comparison, given it had relatively more room to breath along with more positive word of mouth.
Ok debut, in line with previous entry. Compared to Famitsu data for previous entries, it's the best debut for the series, but not by much (3k), so let's just wait for Famitsu data before celebrating. Still decent performance, especially if sales are as steady as the previous entries.
Splatoon 2 will out sell Splatoon LTD before the end of the year. I don't what makes the first a bigger cultural phenomenon.
First Monster Hunter Portable had the best legs too, that must be the peak of franchise, not 3rd.

Also lol. These hot takes I swear.
The game isn't going to have any trouble outselling Splatoon 1. Th Switch has like a 1.2m install base. What are you projecting based on?

|----|---------|---------|---------|---------|--------------|I don't, people are getting swamped this week. I've got Splatoon that I want to play which is addictive as hell, got my DQX beta today which is a time hog, and DQXI comes out in about 57 hours from now. Thank goodness Layton came out so I can play that while waiting in line (I don't have to wait in line for XI, since I have a bundle coming but Amazon will be slow as hell, so will grab it at my local Geo first).
Too many good games all at once.

The PS4 is doing amazingly world wide, and that is mostly deserved because it is a solid system that seems to have been made with both consumers and developers in mind after the semi disaster that was the ps3.
That said, it's performance in Japan is not particularly impressive to me. It's tracking ps3 sales, and it's facing less competition. No wii, no psp, no booming ds. Has the home console market continued to shrink?
I think a bigger factor is software. PS4 seems to have been designed with the west in mind. That is reflected in software, hardware sales and design, and strategy (launch date, etc).
So... The question is should the ps4 be doing better in Japan or not? I'm not sure.... But with the vita being dead and ps4 simply matching ps3 sales I think Sony hasn't really succeeded overall in Japan.
It could sell double the amount of what Splatoon 1 did (up from 1.2m to 2.4m) maybe even more. It will for sure even outsell 1 this year already. Not sure why or what can stop Splatoon's popularity in Japan for now and the Switch is a handheld like system too wich they love.
Yeah, that's a good one as well. There are like a million games coming out in the last ten days of July, so that could explain some of it as well.
Please.
We just had a guy last thread say NSMB and Mario Kart DS were not system sellers for the DS even though they were the biggest selling DS games worldwide.
Now apparently a sequel that debuted at 4.2x higher than its predecessor with less hardware owners in the first week is signs of the sequel doing worse?

Well this basically confirms Zelda won't reach a million this year. Maybe some point in the future.
Great Splatoon 2 and Switch sales, right around where I predicted them for this month. I bet Splatoon does 150k next week, maybe another 40-50k for the Switch.
Dragon Quest XI next week, I honestly have no idea at this point. My instincts have been completely wrong the whole way on this one so we will see.

Splatoon 1 was on wiiu.
WIIU.
It basically single-handedly carried the system after it's ok launch and complete post launch collapse.
People were forced to buy a wiiu to play splatoon.
Wii u.

Not all new Switch owners can buy numerous games. A lot of folks buy one game with a purchase of new hardware. All the nintendo games will have legs.
Em, no it didn't, MK8 sold 8.5 million and Splatoon 1 sold 4.9. Mind you, I'm not doubting splatoons popularity I love the game, but let's not pull numbers out of our asses (unless you mean JP only)
Talking Japan here, it's a Japanese sales thread.

Yup, just one week before the PS3. And of course, next week is DQ11.

At this pace, reaching Wii U LTD at the end of the year won't be hard.
Switch isn't That cheap. If you are buying a Switch + Splatoon 2 that's already enough money spent for most customers.... Especially if Dragon Quest is being released a week later. Zelda and co. still will be there to purchase for new cyst knee in the following weeks, no need to rush it once you own the hardware.
I mean you can easily argue that the PS3 was not competing with handheld systems, and that the factors behind the Wii's success are basically impossible to replicate.
In any case, if Japan is a market where WiiU does better than the PS4 for a large part of its first year or more, that should tell you all you need to know about comparisons between PS4 and Switch in Japan. Seeing as a 3DS replacement does not seem to be coming down the pipeline (and likely shouldn't be), both Nintendo and Sony have cannibalised one half of their games market. And if there is a toss-up between a portable system (let alone a portable Nintendo system) and a Sony home platform, history shows that the portable system will do better sales in Japan.
But that's the thing--WiiU outdid the PS4 in sales for a time but is ultimately a failure worldwide. Switch is doing well right now, but can it do as well as 3DS? That's the bar for portable Nintendo last generation, and without another system that is all they will have.
Given the climate of the market, and the Japanese consumer's preference for mobile devices (and among those, Nintendo mobile devices), PS4 maintaining the sales presence of the PS3 is a decent feat.

Yeah, I hadn't read the reports of stockpiling nor anything about new units tied to a newly released bundle, like others pointed out in this thread. Still, logically they would've introduced even more units if demand was so high as to cause shortages, as this seems to be the case in Japan alone.
No numbers, however on the AppStore it has been #1 since launch, and for in app purchases (1900 yen) it is ranked 60th.
Fukuzatsu.
I just wanted to say your name
Quite the W101 numbers.
that's is what some people on gaf thought it would sell with the first Splatoon game lol that W101 game sold very badly

Shortages are occurring worldwide, not just in Japan.
Layton did quite well considering the game is out on mobile for cheaper. Just shows that no matter how strong the mobile market will be... There will be an audience that prefers to play their games on a portable.
Fate/Ex sales are fine as well... Same type of release would have sold less than 5k on Wii and WiiU. Obv. sales would be better without the shortages... But hey that's the case for all releases.

More than half of the Switch owners have Splatoon 2.

What is going on today?
This post has nothing to do with reality. This system has been sold out since launch with no end in sight.
Then you obviously don't live in Japan. If you did you would see how wrong this statement is. Splatoon has never been bigger here.
Are people taking crazy pills today?!?

So the PS4 should pull away from the PS3 for some time again.
Mid term should also look quite good with the incoming Monster Hunter, makes me wonder if there will be a price cut as well at some time.
