Didn't Forza Horizon 2 also come out?

Japan has such shit taste, smh

EDIT: oh it's in famitsu. still, way too low :<

 

[Eolz]

Welp, Xbox One under 1k probably next week.
Nice second week for Fatal Frame.
Expected more for KH and less for Omega Quintet.
Sad week in terms of numbers imo.

 

[Cornbread78]

Ah, PS4 just fell behind Dreamcast this week. 33 Weeks launch alligned:

DC: 724,257
PS4: 717,338

Damn, time to pull the plug now....

Making the KH franchise handheld exclusive for almost a decade sure was a smart decision.

but, but, but......

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Wonder how KH 2.5 did compared to KH 1.5

Looks like XB1 hanged on to that 1k.

1.5 did over 130k first week so...

 

[Graphics Horse]

Week 40 2013, the 3DS sold more than all hardware combined this year.

More than twice.

Should do well next week tho

 

[Son Of D]

What was KH 1.5's first week sales? 2.5 seems quite disappointing.

Lister: Where is everyone Hol?
Holly: They're dead Dave.
Lister: Who is?
Holly: Everybody Dave.
Lister: What, the Wii U?
Holly: Everybody's dead Dave.
Lister: What, the PS4?
Holly: Everybody's dead Dave.
Lister: What, the XBone??
Holly: They're all dead, everybody's dead Dave.
Lister: 3DS isn't, is it?
Holly: Everybody is dead Dave.
Lister: Not the Vita?
Holly: Gorden Bennet, yes the Vita, everybody, everybody's dead Dave.
Lister: The PSP?
Holly: It's dead Dave, everybody's dead, everybody is dead Dave.
Lister: Wait, are you trying to tell me everybody's dead?

I'm curious as to who's brought back as a hologram now.

 

[zeromcd73]

At last revenge!

Dreamcast fans finally getting their revenge

Spoiler

lol

 

[SmokyDave]

The 3DS is dead ? How so ?

This article explains it pretty well.

 

[ohlawd]

23k for Forbidden Magna

Gust has successfully synthesized more bombs!

lmao

[Acquiescence]

I still think that Bayonetta 2 totally has a chance of turning things around. The WOM effect will engage at any moment now.

 

[phanphare]

Smash and Yokai Watch 2, I said god dayummm

and the n3DS/LL thirst is real

 

[axisofweevils]

Terrible week for everyone, really. Surprised the 3DS is still the top selling hardware considering it is about to be usurped buy a new, shinier model.

 

[LordOcidax]

Nice Smash hold. And is sold out in Japan.

changing clothes every week, YOW

 

[Asd202]

I imagine KH 2.5 also won't do so hot in the west with PS3 software sales going down very fast.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

What was KH 1.5's first week sales? 2.5 seems quite disappointing.

MC:
02./00. [PS3] Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX <RPG> (Square Enix) {2013.03.14} (¥6.980) - 128.414 / NEW

Famitsu:
01./00. [PS3] Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX <RPG> (Square Enix) {2013.03.14} (¥6.980) - 131.940 / NEW

And the game will most definately suffer in the west due to the platform of choice.

 

[Tempy]

Everything down.

 

[zeromcd73]

The NEW 3DS CM on the official Nintendo channel is now their most popular video with over 2mil views.

If we assume only half the people that watched it are going to buy it, and that every person that is going to purchase it showed it to 3 friends/family members who will also, then 3mil first week confirmed!

 

[Cheeky]

It doesnt really seem like a smart move of Gust to release two games from the same series on the same platform in the same week.

Or were they counting on the Ion love to keep it afloat?

 

[CANLI]

Great numbers for smash and yw2.
Next week sales of smash will arise with the release of mh4g which will sell at least 1.5 million only this weekend.

FOr other consoles, 2015 will be catastrophic. I don't see how these numbers will rise. Even for the ps4.

When you put it like that...

 

[massoluk]

Why are 20k people buying 3ds right now? The new ones are just around the corner...

 

[Sadist]

PS4 is behind Dreamcast?

... ... ... man, console gaming in Japan is a niche these days.

 

[Swordy]

Doesn't KH sell better in the west anyway? Also, unlike us they already have Final Mix versions of the games available.

 

[Aquamarine]

Fantastic hold for SSB 3DS.

Xbox One is still over 1K.

Heh.

 

[KooopaKid]

This article explains it pretty well.

lol nice one.

Ouch. Putting it on PS3 will definitely hurt the sales of it outside of Japan. I do wonder if they're going to try a PS4 collection before KH3 releases.

Doesn't KH sell better in the west anyway? Also, unlike us they already have Final Mix versions of the games available.

They sometimes do. However since 2.5 is a PS3 game it's going to hurt sales a bit since PS3 software sales have decreased since PS4 released.

 

[Busaiku]

15 million PS4 is conservative.

 

[Kresnik258]

What a week. why did Vita go down?

Last week had DanganRonpa & Legend of Heroes (and Dungeon Travelers), every single one of which sold more than this week's new releases (Ar noSurge and Ciel noSurge).

 

[Mpl90]

15 million PS4 is conservative.

If I were drinking something now, I'd have spit it on tbe screen. Where's that user, now?

That's kinda not good for 2.5 :X

 

[Aostia]

The 3DS is dead ? How so ?

everybody is dead.

This KH numbers don't look good...

Second week for the other Fatal Frame titles anyone? Thanks in advance!

[WII] Fatal Frame 2: Wii Edition
1st week: 24.804
2nd week*: 4.502
*Famitsu data

Wonder how KH 2.5 did compared to KH 1.5

Looks like XB1 hanged on to that 1k.

02./00. [PS3] Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX <RPG> (Square Enix) {2013.03.14} (¥6.980) - 128.414 / NEW

 

[disap.ed]

There are 4 WiiU games in the Top20, not 3 @OP.

Positively surprised that Bayonetta is still there BTW.

 

[allan-bh]

06./00. [PS3] Kingdom Hearts Starter Pack: HD 1.5 + II.5 ReMIX <RPG> (Square Enix) {2014.10.02} (¥10.584) - 13.656 / NEW <80-100%>

Strange, this is out of Media Create top 20 and sold more than 13k on Famitsu.

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

They sometimes do. However since 2.5 is a PS3 game it's going to hurt sales a bit since PS3 software sales have decreased since PS4 released.

That's what everyone has been expecting, and not only that it will more than likely release on XB1 as well since KH games have never been released on an Xbox system and XB1 owners would be clueless trying to play KH 3 with no prior knowledge of the series.

 

[theprodigy]

I still think that Bayonetta 2 totally has a chance of turning things around. The WOM effect will engage at any moment now.

15 million PS4 is conservative.

all these references lol

 

[Simply Sarah]

Since it's one of the few positive stories from the past week, do we know if Smash 3DS sales numbers are still being limited by supply issues?

 

[shinra-bansho]

The game is in the 80-100% sell-through range so supply could be an issue I guess. I think there was mention of supply issues in earlier weeks?

There are 4 WiiU games in the Top20, not 3 @OP.

Huh? Is there an invisible one I'm not seeing?

 

[Kresnik258]

There are 4 WiiU games in the Top20, not 3 @OP.

Fatal Frame, Mario Kart, Bayonetta and... ?

I'm not seeing the 4th one. There's not even 4 games in the top 30 on Famitsu

 

[boingball]

PS4 system seller Destiny (according to Sony's Japan press conference) doing well, still in the Top 30. /s PS3 version outsells it handily, sorry Sony. Next time try with a either a good western game or a Japanese game.

Xbox One, the All-in-One Entertainment System still hanging above 1k, there is hope for MS. /s

 

[Usobuko]

Tragic numbers.

 

[Xater]

Ah, PS4 just fell behind Dreamcast this week. 33 Weeks launch alligned:

Glad we can all now officially accept Japan as the irrelevant market it hat become.

[Magicpaint]

Pretty much what I was expecting. I'd love to know how many copies Marvelous sent to retailer, looks satisfying to me.

Famitsu has it in the 40-60% sell through range. It really hasn't done well.

 

[Willing]

Nice numbers for Smash 3DS. Yokai Watch 2 of course still rolling along.

20./12. [WIU] Bayonetta 2 <ACT> (Nintendo) {2014.09.20} (¥8.316) - 3.398 / 49.196 (-51%)

 

[unapersson]

Dreamcast fans finally getting their revenge

Spoiler

lol

I was hoping the paths would cross at some point, maybe those guys can get some closure now.

 

[SerTapTap]

I bet anything *&#969;* would sell better in 'Merica if they market it to Neptunia fans. Surprised there's no localization announced yet. Not too surprised by it's sales though.
