Media Create Sales: Week 35, 2014 (Aug 25 - Aug 31)

Title said 'XB1 sold 250k, blahblahblah' ( a lie, basically, to draw attention to the thread)

First post (OP) cites a 2005 Famitsu article from way back of the 360 launch.

Only one post in the thread, which means no one but the thread creator even posted in it.

This thread has been stored in the past log warehouse = archive of the thread.

You might want to remove that link. It serves no purpose since it's a troll, and more importantly littered with NSFW ads.

Edit button is not loading properly for some reason at the moment so I'll just tell eople not to click on it. They will see it was part of a conversation.

That's odd.

Edit: Any predictions for XB1 sales? Seeing the DR3 sales I believe the Vita may even have outsold it. The best selling PS4 game sold to just 1/3 of the new consoles and DR3 seems to only have managed 5k. Maybe Titanfall being the bundle made a difference, but I don't see that many being interested in it now.

Where are you getting Dead Rising 3 at 5k? Also why do you think DR3 would be the best selling games and would indicate the Vita beat the Xbox One in sales? (which technically would not even be surprising because Vita is a handheld)

Last page (100ppp).

It was number 17 in Comgnet's ranking (poor sample rate) and didn't chart in Tsutaya's top 20 which has a bigger sample rate. Number 20 this week sold 4.5K.

Edit: Comgnet also (IIRC) skew more towards the hardcore for a lack of a better term. The sample rate is also very small with just 8 (!) copies sold.
 
LOL.

Do you really think any company is going to release a fairly big last gen only exclusive next ye...

... :(

If there was a PS4 port I would have thought they would announce it at their conference alongside Persona 5.

I feel like Namco should definitely port it to the PS4. It will probably be fall 2015 or later when we get the title and by then PS4 would have a notably big user base and PS3 software sales in the west haven been significantly effected already.

So not reliable enough to use as a trend setter?

Persona isn't tales, it's At- *cough* Sega.

Comgnet should only be used as a very...VERY...general indicator.

Like if preorders at COMG! are at 1000pt (see Smash Bros. 3DS), you know that game is going to be huge.

But you can't really nail down anything precise.

The Tales community will buy it anyways.

Skipping PSP in Japan and GC/Wii in the west for mainline entries seems to be their biggest mistakes. PSP especially I think could've made a strong transition point for moving the core series in step with the rest of the industry.

Considering how big succes Xillia was worldwide (third Tales of that sells over a million ww) they really should have developed the mainline titles to PS3 from get to go. With PSP they would have said goodbye to western sales and I am not sure it had sold that much better even in Japan (like Peace Walker didn't sell that much more than MGS4 in Japan)

Looks like you must take a step back with Xbox One. You don't follow Media Create threads, you don't know Japanese trends and you post the first random article you find.

Famitsu will give the numbers in a few hours and we'll find out how bad it bombed.

Has that been confirmed? Nice, very curious.

So how much is everyone anticipating? My first prediction was 70k but that seems too optimistic now.

According to sinobi, the shipment was about 38k. EDIT: only his sales prediction, nvm

At first, I thought it should move about 30k first week, but after the reports we got and the Comgnet/Tsutaya rankings I wouldn't be surprised if it was half of that now.

I don't think Shinobi is an insider, or has sources from Japan.

It really is getting ridiculous now (you're the third person to repeat this claim after it was debunked). He said nothing of shipment, that was his sales prediction.

He's right. Your contributions to this thread are awful. You came in here last week being all aggressive over stuff you didn't understand and no one liked it. This week you return to post bullshit you clearly cannot read, and when told that it was bullshit you posted another useless link. When you were told to remove it because it is NSFW, you decided you didn't need to. It's time to stop and re-evaluate how you post on this forum. It's not acceptable if you don't want to contribute to a thread, don't want to learn from your mistakes, and want to keep posting in it anyway and annoying people.

My prediction is as written, based on multiple trend, financial and environmental fsctorsd the following:

Xbox One will do over 50k but less than 101k

Ps4 will go down

Wii U will be close to stable.

Top 2 selling games will most likely not be console related.

This is a very cautious prediction.prepared in case we get some surprises. Or if we dont get any.

Please, double check, I might be cheating in favor of myself. =P


btw on this tracker note, could the monthly sales competition thing include Media Create numbers too as a bonus? (might as well right)
Code:
BY UNITS                                   BY MEAN ERROR %                           
                                                                         
  1       38,999  Dengeki                    1     5.48%  Dengeki        
  2       84,866  MediaCreate                2    11.43%  MediaCreate    
  3      132,745  Road                       3    20.90%  Eolz

Maybe if we got actual retail sales...

The imagination part existed from the beginning, but was in transparent text (he does that for many times).
Don't forget to ctrl + A if you are skeptical.

Considering how big succes Xillia was worldwide (third Tales of that sells over a million ww) they really should have developed the mainline titles to PS3 from get to go. With PSP they would have said goodbye to western sales and I am not sure it had sold that much better even in Japan (like Peace Walker didn't sell that much more than MGS4 in Japan)
Xillia did well but Graces would've been better served on PSP (Japan) or Wii (west). We'll see how Xillia 2 did.

I'm thinking 80k for first month sales for the X1. 35K first week.

I think the first month number will be much lower. Seeing how the other consoles have been performing and the totally western games, the sales will nosedive beginning second week.

In the Pal threads ir seems it hasn't done so well. It didn't charted in Italy neither Spain (there were a lot more new releases this year and Og Xillia launched earlier in August though).

In UK charts it disappeared after having a worse first week that Xillia (1 was around 6k, 2 between 3.5 and 5k approximately iirc)

Hopefully they had lower expectations for the game. Jrpg direct sequels tend to do worse than the original for some reason. But Xillia 2 is shorter than the original and probably has less text and less recorded voices.

It's a shame if people ignore it because it's a sequel though. The game is quite well written and a big improvement over the original.

so if the ps4 does a good i don't know, 5-6 million in japan (doubling dreamcast sales), and the wii u reaches 3m (dreamcast sales), what will the xbox one come in around?

the original xbox couldn't break 500k in japan, but the 360 did about 3-4 times the amount. i wonder if 2014 and 2015 will be the only years where it breaks 100k.
