On this note, here's its grossing history.

Right now it's at #3, but the daily chart is a tad behind so it shows it at #4.

holy fuck Wii U

barely beating PS4 with one of it's hugest releases... ever? Nintendo made the right choice delaying Zelda to the next system. This thing is just a waste to make games for. I feel bad for developers who have to make games on it cuz of publisher/moneyhat reasons.

New to media create threads? The Wii U did better this week than the week of Mario Kart 8's release. Wii U hardware spikes are pretty much nonexistent except in the holiday season, and Xeno is not one of the console's biggest releases. Those were Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8 & Smash. Eventually Zelda too (it's not getting delayed to the next system, at least not yet). Also, pretty much every game on Wii U is a first party game apart from the occasional multiplat/partnership.

That is certainly a spin. Quite a few.

P&DZ = you paid 5,000yen for a Pokemon like rpg with combat system took from a F2P game

which one is the worth?

Isn't that what I'm saying though? I haven't actually played either game, but that's the gist of what I got and your post confirms that :). Why exactly did they turn away from the full-fledged RPG route though? Easily could've done a P&D Mario RPG or something.

Xenoblade and DKCR (and many, many other Nintendo games) get re-released for future systems. I don't think Monolith (or anyone) expected XCX to shatter Xenoblade's sales.

DKC:TF sold like 500k. It's not great, but hardly 'nobody'. You are better off using Wonderful 101 as an example.




lol it was obvious to me. Surprised people jumped on it like that.
Click to expand...

DKC:TF sold over 500K if that makes you happier (US > 400K, JP > 120K), ROTW is probably at least at Japan's level, if not quite a bit more imo.

Just for perspective to all the new folks here....

#s are from Media Create
Week 13, 2013 - DQX & Game&Wario release
WIU | 22.829 | 11.398 | | 226.960 | | 854.247

Week 28, 2013 - Pikmin 3 & Luigi U release
WIU | 22.199 | 8.251 | | 363.451 | | 990.738 |

Week 47, 2013 - Mario 3D World releases (holidays are about to start too)
WIU | 21.002 | 15.906 | | 563.669 | | 1.190.956 |

----------------------------------
Week 22, 2014 - Mario Kart 8 releases
WIU | 19.312 | 9.024 | 6.680 | 239.436 | 308.299 | 1.764.866

Week 33, 2014 (Aug 11 - Aug 17) - Hyrule Warriors released
WIU | 18.161 | 13.598 | 12.047 | 364.481 | 421.139 | 1.889.911 |

-----------------------------------
Week 18, 2015 (Apr 27 - May 03) - release of Xenoblade X & DQX v3 + 1st day of Golden Week
WIU | 22.898 | 7.210 | 8.079 | 169.121 | 196.771 | 2.312.701

So Xeno X + DQX + Golden Week 1st day = highest non-holiday bump for Wii U if I've found every instance correctly.

Btw Zhuge did anything ever come of that poll KT did for Europe in regards to the Nobunagas Ambition the latest one?

Im still surprised that they didnt go and loosen the purse strings to get it released on the PS4 at least granted it will be one hell of a localization effort which is a huge pain in the ass to check and do with all of the content it has.

But would have been a nice return of the series and would imagine that there would be some numbers behind it in the West along with the userbase the PS4 has.

As above, it was listed on Best Buy but nothing further has happened.

The title sold cumulative 300,000 units in Japan compared to cumulative 200,000 units for the previous NA title.

Thanks for the replies, much appreciated. Its a damned shame if it does not make it over since my friend who has it and is a long time old school fan of the series says its pretty good and mind blowing how much content it has.

yes, I just confirmed your statement

and If you remember I was surprised since the announcement about that choice

at least they could have priced it around 2,000yen as the last Mario vs. DK, changing to a F2P simple gameplay and charging as a "cheaper" full price was like shooting two birds with a rock, but seems like they partially failed

and iirc YSO guys predicted 80k for the 2nd week, 250k LTD is around half of the initial shipment, isn't it?

Why do people insist on saying "They should have held out for the NX to release!"?

You don't know when the NX will release. You don't even know if NX is a home console, handheld, or even just distribution "platform" that's neither and is just some wild hair Nintendo got up its ass to make something completely different.

Surely Nintendo should stop all production until November 2016 at the earliest, in order to push games back for its magical macguffin, that's everything that everyone says it is. What more do you need to know about it other than it's the NX?

Just curious, how do you people feel about Thneeds?

The Wii U bump is nice considering the MK8 bump. How long will it last though, and is good word of mouth effective for legs in Japan?

Even with it being GW, that actually was a surprisingly big boost for the Wii U. That's bigger than the opening week of Mario Kart.
Click to expand...

Yep! Its quite nice. Not sure if its just 'pent up demand' (I.E. people who kinda sorta wanted a Wii U for months but were waiting on something worthwhile to release on it) or if XCX is a system seller to a small degree.

Pretty low I'd assume? In order to import it'd be mostly through online vendors, and I'm pretty sure there were a lot of these sitting in stores.

I doubt it. They'll probably just realease one last cheaper revision and let that ride for another 2 years or so.
Click to expand...

at this point just a price drop would be a good marketing decision, as a strong PS3 would not let PS4 to raise
they need to show publishers PS3 is gonna discontinued soon so they (publishers) can focus in PS4 and stop making multiplatform games which hurt PS4 sales

likely we will have some indication about publishers strategies on next TGS, it's time to see more exclusive games for PS4

Since I guess Road's been busy so he can't update japanltdrank, I thought I'd look at Wii U software sales in JP.

So

Mario Party 10 is now #13 @ 137K (3K more to pass Toad's 140K), Mario Kart 8 has passed 1M when counting downloads, and DQX debuted at #17 of all time sales, Xenoblade X debuted @ #18. There's a pretty good chance these games will pass the couple of titles still above them (Luigi U @ 100K, DKC: TF @ 120K and Hyrule Warriors @ 130K).

For everyone talking about how weak the Golden Week is: This data only covers the first half of the GW, some people are still in their Golden Week if they took Thursday and Friday off.

Just look up mobile game publishers reports. Publishers such GungHo, GREE, DENA revenues were down in 2014 compared to 2013.

The indutry as whole is likely still growing as new publishers like Mixi and Colopl continue to make sizable gains but growth rates are a lot lower than 2011-2013.

Japan finally jumping on the mineycrafta bandwagon. Will be very interesting to see what kind of legs the Vita version has. Did the PS3 and PS4 versions get released over there?
