I don't think Dragon Quest XI will necessarily be instructive given that the 3DS version will likely take up 70% of the sales, but Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts III will be very interesting to watch for that reason.

It will though. The point isn't "is this the only way to play DQXI's story" but rather "how many people are actually interested in a huge AAA console version of DQXI". Big brand, big production values, highest spec available. The 3DS and PS4 DQXI are two different games.

KH3 won't be interesting to watch at all. It's closer to RE than FF/DQ in terms of franchise power in Japan. It could sell fine (800k) and still not tell us anything about the ceiling.

Even with the 3DS version, Dragon Quest on PS4 will easy beat Kingdom Hearts.
DQ11 will be over 1 million, KH will not. ( most likely)

Dont you think that many people will settle for only one of the version of DQXI though?

 

[sörine]

Only one KH game ever cleared a million in Japan. It's big but not that big.

Regardless of what the consumers decide, it will tell us a lot about the demand for such titles on consoles. That's my point.

 

[Ōkami]

See Frozen make KHIII.1 a multi million seller.

 

[Sakura]

yoru no nai kuni much higher on PS4 eh, that's nice. I expect a similar story with Atelier Sophie.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

See Frozen make KHIII.1 a multi million seller.

Very possible if it is in there .
Have not really been following KH3 news .

 

[ZhugeEX]

You got to put the game on the Vectrex if you want it to sell!

 

[horuhe]

I honestly think the Wii U can drop < 10k for one week or two this year, but i'm gonna say will not just because after Splatoon, so many times i expected Wii U under 10k, but at the end is never happen... the bigger example is after the Obon week, when Wii U was over 11k.

This month has the highest possibilities for this to happen. November, even they are low-tier releases, there are at least four games that could enter the top twenty. So, if Wii U drops 10k, I think it would be next week or the following.

 

[Chris1964]

Thank you, pal! I see the series follows the same worldwide growth in Japan too! Uncharted 4 will be interesting.

No, with re-releases LTDs for every Uncharted are close.

 

[nampad]

Holy fucking Arslan bomba. Also pretty weird to see how footbal games sell less and less every year in Japan when in pretty much every other country on earth we are seeing growth every year. PS4 did good.

The console market is shrinking and the games are only released on consoles. An handheld version would be able to boost the sales a bit and I guess it would also do ok worldwide.

But god knows what Konami is doing in games anymore. I don't think we will see it anytime soon.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

No, with re-releases LTDs for every Uncharted are close.

So your saying UC1 LTD is near UC3 with it's re-releases.
Interesting .

 

[test_account]

Regardless of what the consumers decide, it will tell us a lot about the demand for such titles on consoles. That's my point.

I understand. I was thinking more in regards what the upper ceiling could be if different conditions were available (different as in a higher potential of reaching more sales, like being an exclusive title for consoles for example).

 

[Chris1964]

So your saying UC1 LTD is near UC3 with it's re-releases.

If you look Famitsu numbers obviously you don't see it.

By week 45 the sales starting to increase, maybe since week 44.

We are on week 40... so, 3 weeks to go, if Wii U don't drop under 10k in those 3 weeks, it should be easy over that for all 2015, unless some bundle / pricedrop annunced...

 

[madstarr12]

Looks like Wii U is going back to doomed-status. Can it hold on enough for the usual holiday bump?

PS4 isn't as high as it could have gone, but we'll see the effects next week. If it continues to sell similarly to before the price-drop, then the price-drop was pointless.

 

[horuhe]

[3DS] 7th Dragon III Code: VFD <RPG> (Sega) (¥6.469)

At COMG! Yoshida, 7th Dragon is getting some points. It will end around 110 points, so it would be interesting how great could do this release.

It's not "World Soccer" anymore this year. Konami dropped it before they finally drop the series entirelly.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Wow at Yoru no Nai Kuni. Did anybody expect an 85k+ opening? Thats above all Atelier games bar one. Even more surprised how the PS4 SKU did the best. Glad for Gust.

Xanadu has also done well.

MGSV is at 610k and iirc PS4 digital sales were over Bloodborne's 40k (?). Should make it to 700k+ and overtake MGS4.

 

[Possumowner]

Nice Ps4 bump,who knew price cuts work.Lets see how long before it drops to normal levels before price cut.Splatoon still in the top 10.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Wait, what? How does that work? A price drop and a decline in sales? This is like dividing by zero level of calamity.

PS4 number looks good. I am hoping it can stay around 20K give or take.

No way, will back under 20k in 1 or 2 weeks.
Should be over 20k by November.

Wii U back to sales before Mario Maker bump.

PS4 Pricedrop + Winning Eleven does not move much consoles, disappointing.

I did say "give or take".

 

[KratosEnergyDrink]

I would not be so sure about that. PS4 had very low sales after price drop announcement. Now the people who waited bought the console and it will quickly go back to the "normal" 10k+ sales.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

After a 1000% boost a console is always gonna massive drop.
Honestly, i expect PS4 to stay over 20k only for another week... i may be wrong, just i think it will.

Just see Metal Gear:
18k > 54k > 18k

One week of boost...

 

[horuhe]

Honestly, i expect PS4 to stay over 20k only for another week... i may be wrong, just i think it will.

In November, as you said earlier, PS4 has many chances to be over 20k again (at least one week of that month). I mean, Star Wars and Call of Duty will surely do their job.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

With COD i think PS4 can be even over 30k... why not, last year PS4 sales are increase by around 50% with Advanced Warfare, since Black Ops III will be way bigger on PS4, and has a bundle, i expect a huge week for PS4.

Even Star Wars should help PS4 a bit...

Well, I know it was a joke. But there is no game further in time than Fallout 4 and Monster Strike. So it doesn't make sense to chart there. Maybe in a couple of weeks, though.

Why if you twist that "100" in just the right way, you'll see that its actually 777. Lucky number! Outselling and out-reviewing P5 confirmed!

But good to know that it is opened, I have to wonder how this product will go for them as Nintendo seems to be surprisingly invested in the brand going forward (unless its actually Atlas that is doing all the post-release stuff) even if the game itself is doomed to the WiiU. Maybe they're hoping to build it into a long-term investment to have along side Xeno for their library of offerings.

They should rebrand it as Performas 5 (because there are five of them, right? RIGHT!!?) and then market it as "P5 Releasing Now!". And later announce that Kimishima has decided to buy Atlus
