[Kagari]

How relevant has Comgnet been as far as potential sales tracking? I'm looking at some old listings and FFXIII was at 939pt at this point in time in 2009, where as XIII-2 is only at 298pt.

 

[Road]

As relevant as saying "it looks like XIII-2 will sell less on the first week than XIII".

Definitely not as relevant as saying "XIII-2 will sell 1/3 of XIII sold first week."

You can't compare directly. XIII was available for years at comgnet. XIII-2 has some months.

Let's do this updated.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 - 301pt
Final Fantasy XIII - 1028pt

Eh... Comgnet is a good indicator (not a perfect one, not in any way) for several types of games, and RPGs are one of those genres that can be represented well on these charts.
Casual game, instead, or many many Nintendo games actually track with lower pt than the thousand they actually sell in the first week. Because they're bought a lot by people who don't preorder games, while on Sony consoles, it seems there is a big concentration of preorders in general, more than on Nintendo consoles, and not only because of the presence of certain kind of games on these consoles.
Well, back to FFXIII-2...Eh, its actual result is disappointing.

 

[Kagari]

As relevant as saying "it looks like XIII-2 will sell less on the first week than XIII".

Definitely not as relevant as saying "XIII-2 will sell 1/3 of XIII sold first week."

Obviously preorders are down. I think it'll be interesting how the final results play out at release.

 

[Road]

Yeah, if you want to make a point comparison, then you should wait until closer to the release.

By then, if XIII-2 has, say, only 700pt against the 2100pt XIII had, it'll be an indication that we shouldn't be surprised if we see a significant drop in the first week.

[donny2112]

If you include the first week of January and believe that there won't be shortages, almost 2m for "December" alone for 3DS isn't too outrageous. 1m for November and December seems like laughingly poor predicting, in that case.

Nov. 27-Dec. 4
Dec. 5-11 (MH3G's release)
Dec. 12-18 (~400K week for DS in 2005)
Dec. 19-25 (~600K week for DS in 2005)
Dec. 26-Jan. 1 (~400K week affected by shortages for DS in 2005)

Famitsu Week 52 ends Dec 25. If they make this year a 53 week year then Week 53 will end Jan 01. Do we know how many weeks Famitsu will use this year?

 

[neocoder]

Are there any US or Europe media create threads? Or is that information not available?

 

[BKK]

From what I can gather Famitsu base their months and years on which weeks end in those months or years. In which case 2011 will be a 52 week year, and December will end Dec 25th. Correct me if that's wrong.

It is yet to be seen if the 3DS will be able to come anywhere near the insane highs of the 2005 DS holiday season, but yeah, 1M does seem to be a very poorly reasoned prediction for the final two months of the year.

Yeah, Famitsu ends their periods on the last week that ends within that period.
But Media Create's year will go through Jan 1st this year. So it depends which tracker is being used for the end-of-year discussion.

Yeah, I just meant in relation to the predictions made in Famitsu, which presumably would be based on Famitsu's tracking period. For other purposes Media Create would be better, as it fits better with the CY, and they release sooner than Famitsu.

 

[M-PG71C]

Kirby is doing outstanding, much better than Epic Yarn's first debut. GO KIRBY GO! I'm loving that game to death, along with Mass Attack, I need MOAR KIRBIES.

3DS is doing outstanding as well, Mario 3D Land should give it a good boost next week. The PSP is doing well too, nothing new there. Things are going to get interesting, really.

I wouldn't exactly say the psp is doing well (nothing apart from 3ds really is) its doing ok and has had a bump this week from a game that nearly sold half a million

 

[Road]

Famitsu Week 52 ends Dec 25. If they make this year a 53 week year then Week 53 will end Jan 01. Do we know how many weeks Famitsu will use this year?

By Famitsu's method there eventually is a year with a 53rd week when 12-25 is on a Monday, I don't think they choose one arbitrarily.

The last one was in 2006. The next one should be in 2017 (!).

 

[BKK]

That's a pretty big gap. ISO 53 week years happen every 5-6 years. The next will be 2015 for Media Create and Chart-Track which follow the ISO standard, where the last was in 2009. To confuse things even more it seem that the North America and NPD have a different system again, where the last 53 week year was 2007. I'm not sure when the next is due there.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

So Garaph's Famitsu software data is up to date again for the moment. Probably will keep up better now that we're getting to the really interesting time of year.

A comparison of known DS/PSP/3DS software sales over their first years:

Revival Selection regains RE4 some of its lead over RE5.

Star Fox 64 3D looking a lot like Command.

So I previously had groups set up for Monster Hunter Console and Monster Hunter Portable, but thanks to spinoff series, "Portable" games showing up on consoles, and non-"Portable" entries showing up on portables, the lines were blurring. So I decided to split those up, and while I was at it figured: What the hell, why not add some more subgroups while I'm at it.

Modified:
Monster Hunter Console -> Monster Hunter home console
Monster Hunter Portable -> Monster Hunter portable console

New:
Monster Hunter mainline
Monster Hunter Portable
Monster Hunter Portable 3rd
Monster Hunter Diary
Monster Hunter Frontier
Monster Hunter Sony
Monster Hunter Nintendo
Monster Hunter Microsoft
Monster Hunter PSP

Maaaaybe a bit overboard, but as a series it probably gets more attention and comparison interest than the average dozen groups.

 

[Dalthien]

Will any system other than the DS family match last year's hardware totals?

As of now, the DS/3DS is the only system ahead of last year's pace. Here are the numbers:

Media Create: [2011 current sales / 2010 full year sales (# needed to sell in final 9 weeks of 2011)]

DS/3DS: 2,817,195 / 2,871,621 (54,426)
PSP/Vita: 1,635,419 / 2,907,424 (1,272,005)
PS3: 1,130,320 / 1,586,122 (455,802)
Wii: 563,926 / 1,674,438 (1,110,512)
360: 93,724 / 210,826 (117,102)

Famitsu: [2011 current sales / 2010 full year sales (# needed to sell in final 9 weeks of 2011)]

DS/3DS: 2,849,744 / 2,963,709 (113,965)
PSP/Vita: 1,567,070 / 2,894,760 (1,327,690)
PS3: 1,107,384 / 1,558,480 (451,096)
Wii: 642,753 / 1,728,293 (1,085,540)
360: 95,715 / 208,790 (113,075)

Keep in mind the final 9 weeks for Media Create includes Dec 26 - Jan 1, whereas Famitsu will not include that week. So it will be a fair bit harder for systems to catch up to last year's number by Famitsu's count, since one of the biggest weeks of the year won't be counted in the final 9 weeks.

The DS/3DS will shatter last year's total - no question there. And the Wii and 360 will both fall short - no question there either. But the PSP/Vita and PS3 are up for debate.

Can PSP/Vita sell 1.3M in the final 9 weeks?
Can PS3 sell 450k in the final 9 weeks?

 

[BKK]

PS3 should end up about the same, so the only question mark to me is PSP/Vita. Will Vita even have the supply?

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

PSP isn't much behind last year so far, but that is a pretty big boost it can't count on again. Hard to say if what Vita will accomplish in its little time on the market will make the difference.

 

[Chris1964]

Famitsu and Media Create count 53 weeks every 6 years.

Famitsu Week 52 ends Dec 25. If they make this year a 53 week year then Week 53 will end Jan 01. Do we know how many weeks Famitsu will use this year?

These predictions made from people who I doubt have any idea of tracker's CY periods but with Dec 31 in mind. Still Dec 26-Jan 1 is big but smaller than the week before and after it.

 

[BKK]

Famitsu and Media Create count 53 weeks every 6 years.

That may just be down to only having a very small sample of 53 week years from Famitsu and Media Create. ISO format has a gap of 5 or 6 years, but sometimes the 6 year gaps are back to back. Also, once every 400 years there is a 7 year gap, but we probably don't have a big enough sample for that either

These predictions made from people who I doubt have any idea of tracker's CY periods but with Dec 31 in mind. Still Dec 26-Jan 1 is big but smaller than the week before an after it.

"The Professor" at least seems to have studied it indepth enough to state the maximum PSP increase down to 2 decimal places. He really should have noticed that the periods don't match the CY.

For systems like PSP, first year November sales usually rise by 1.3-1.6 times, while December ranges from 3.5 to 5.76 times the normal amount.

I wasn't expecting the pink one to have much of an effect since it didn't launch alongside an appropriate game.

Anyway, now I won't be shocked if 3DS hit 200k this week.

You have to run the December prediction at an upcoming week.

I thought running in on parallel with next week set so double posts or continuous sets of numbers don't last all week. Basically predicting (from the 11th or 12th) up to Nov 16, one set for that particular week stuff (Ninokuni, MW3...) and one set for the December totals.

Though I'm not sure what to include in the December one, neither which weeks (5 weeks starting Nov 27th one or 4 starting Dec 5th one, as I take the year ends for MC on the week ending Jan 1st?) nor which hardware (LTDs sure, but just 3DS/Vita/PSP or PS3/WII as well?) nor if any software at all (as in MH3G, FFXIII-2 and such LTDs up to that last week). No need for any first week predictions since those will be in normal weekly ones, that's about all I got right as of now lol.

These numbers come closer to his words. So he must have included the week Dec 26-Jan 1.

528972 / 114190 = 4.63 so that doesn't match either. He didn't say the increase was over October though, just "the normal amount", which is quite vague.

Though I'm not sure what to include in the December one, neither which weeks (5 weeks starting Nov 27th one or 4 starting Dec 5th one, as I take the year ends for MC on the week ending Jan 1st?) nor which hardware (LTDs sure, but just 3DS/Vita/PSP or PS3/WII as well?) nor if any software at all (as in MH3G, FFXIII-2 and such LTDs up to that last week). No need for any first week predictions since those will be in normal weekly ones, that's about all I got right as of now lol.

Something like this would have more fun

total software
total hardware
and maybe 3DS hw and Vita hw too since these 2 will be the highlights of December

Previous December sw and hw sales

1*: Top 100 Software Sales 2005
2*: Top 100 Software Sales 2006
3*: Top 100 Software Sales 2007
4*: Top 100 Software Sales 2008
5*: Software Sales 2009
6*: Software Sales 2010

I thought running in on parallel with next week set so double posts or continuous sets of numbers don't last all week. Basically predicting (from the 11th or 12th) up to Nov 16, one set for that particular week stuff (Ninokuni, MW3...) and one set for the December totals.

I vote for 5 weeks, starting 11/27.

I would actually prefer if we included even the first week of 2012 so we would have all the biggest weeks of the period, but only the month of December is fine too.

3DS and Vita hardware surely.

I don't know about overall totals because it's a little generic (it'd also be the most clueless guess ever). I'd rather guess for the big three 3DS releases (MK7, SML3D and MH3G). Vita software is boring. There's XIII-2, but I don't know.

Can the Wii outsell the PS3 in November/December?

Can the Wii outsell the PS3 in November/December?

I can see that happening. It's still the cheapest so will be the "go to" gaming console for a lot of people.

I wasn't expecting the pink one to have much of an effect since it didn't launch alongside an appropriate game.

Anyway, now I won't be shocked if 3DS hit 200k this week.

New colors always give a good boost with or without software released with it, its the PSP way.

Holy shit

This makes me think of a related thing: biggest hardware first years. I think it's been established that the earliest PS2 Famitsu weekly numbers are lower than what they later revised their figures to so this lowballs it a bit, but for comparison:

3DS has the rest of the year plus 9 from next year until it hits the right side. It can miss any "2 million in November+December" predictions and still pass some of these, but GBA will be a biiit harder.
