Frozen is finally getting a (3DS) retail release in Japan (Bergsala Lightweight) alongside Big Hero 6.

 

[Frodo]

Everything in now niche in Japan.




Those numbers are depressing.
Getting into the top 10 with 3k sales? Those console numbers... It is not even fun any more to visit this threads. No wonder developers are jumping ship and going mobile when you see these numbers.

It's still crazy that Pikmin 3 is an example of some shining success on Wii U.

More than that...

It's still crazy that Pikmin 3 is an example of some shining success on consoles this generation.

Watch it get in Media Create's Top 10 during its launch week

 

[casiopao]

It's made it up to 7 now. Not sure how much high it will go as it takes a lot of money per position here.

How good is 7 position here? Is it higher than Chain chronicle here? As the guild event is surely highly active lol. Tons of guild is chasing that number one position.

Good question.

The game doesn't chart quite as high as Chain Chronicle did at its peak, but the amount of money the top 100 makes keeps increasing, so... hard to say.

That KT game is coming natively to Vita as well, but KT loves PSP, I guess.

The 3DS is saved! Bundle the 3DS hardware with an exclusive Ice Queen Amiibo and we're done here.

 

[Moor-Angol]

Probably they just noticed PSP still has some market, the last title released in April sold around 8k, which is a result similar to other otome games published only Vita (if not better)

 

[Parakeetman]

even idea factory has shifted their otome games to the vita

Considering the psp is dead no real surprise there. Plus a lot of otome games are already on the Vita as is, enough so they can have their own section in some stores for the Vita section itself lol.

Splatoon vs Bloodborne, go!

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Splatoon is doing really well on Yodobashi and Amazon online charts.

I'm impressed at the interest in SRW BX too. The video is about to hit 300k views! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfYSgFDahOY

Some comments from Yodobashi East Shinjuku clerk regarding the week 19 (iirc, the one with P&DSMB debut) took from Famitsu :

- P&DSMB had a slow start but he feels sure it will sell in the long time

- Xenoblade X had good sells and also helped Wii U sales

until now nothing new...


- Girl's Mode 3 is very popular among elementary school girls, often they bought both game and 3DS

- Minecraft is the most popular game bought with Vita among elementary school boys

- both Assassinaton Classroom and Seveb Deadly Islands are still popular (both for 3 DS)

- PS4 he is selling well and with constantly numbers but for the incoming weeks 3DS and Vita will become stronger

- expected selling sw are Fire Emblem If (3DS) and Persona 4 Dancing All Night


curiosity : both Games Maya (Tokyo) and COMG stores (14 shops in Niigata prefecture) are tracked by Famitsu (FYI in Tokyo there are 48 shops tracked)


I don't know why but after reading last Famitsu issue I have a feeling Splatoon will get a perfect score or almost perfect

 

[FluxWaveZ]

- expected selling sw are Fire Emblem If (3DS) and Persona 4 Dancing All Night

Kinda relevant:

The line to play the first public retailer P4D demo at Bic Camera Shinjuku Nishiguchi shop about two days ago.

So above 100k opening for Splatoon? It looks promising for Nintendo but it would be nice to see another XCX style hardware sales lift.

why they didn't do the same with W101 or Bayonetta 2 ? why the almost completely ignored XCX ?

This isn't very subtle (gameplay look like typical "almost plays by itself" F2P mobile game mediocrity though).

Game is pretty terrible, so if it ends up as an evergreen title in the Top 100 I'll be kinda mad lol

Seriously this is Sega's most successful app at the moment.

14.) Monster Gear
25.) Hortensia Saga
38.) Ange Vierge 2: Waifu Harder
42.) PuyoPuyo Quest
62.) Chain Chronicle
64.) Griffon... something
86.) Soccer
106.) Baseball

It's also #3 on the top downloads list behind LINE and some kind of... I think it's a dating app.

Well, at least there's clear demand for something Monster Hunter related on mobile...

yeah but I don't care about those games, I do care about Fire Emblem though
