Media Create Sales: Week 44, 2015 (Oct 26 - Nov 01)
 
Curious what the initial sales were for the 1st Disney Magic Castle on 3DS. It came out in 2013, right?

01./00. [3DS] Disney Magic Castle: My Happy Life # <ETC> (Bandai Namco Games) {2013.08.01} (¥5.480) - 119.154 / NEW
vs
02./00. [3DS] Disney Magic Castle: My Happy Life 2 - 73,824 / NEW

so around 40k less compared to the 1st game, also less sellthrough percentage according to Famitsu (1st game was 40%-60%)

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
PS4 received a bundle last week (like the 3DS), didn't it?
 
Love inclusion of pics in OP. Thanks, Mpl90!


BLOP3 did superb as expected. Glad that Japanese gamers and now open to western games more and more.

Shouldn't Kutaragi be framed and the technician / Crash Bandicoot guy be one of the people happy about the money? As far as I know Kutaragi isn't with Sony anymore. Also, I think the meme is misused in context to Japanese sales, the it prints money was used for absurdely high sales of a platform completely obliterating all other platforms for months. Not for a few strong weeks.

TBH I was expecting PS+ subscription fee on PS4 would put off PS3 gamers enjoying console games with online feature. While this still may be the case this might not be as severe as I was expecting.
 
i dont think these japanese numbers are on that level, in fact they are pretty average in the grand scheme of things, but in the rest of the world yea you could say that

Well considering they must be making money on every PS4 sold it's still printing money.

gif usage for 33,442 is pretty depressing for the overall state of the Japanese console market. :/

Is pretty good bump considering it's caused by a Western game. Now imagine if there were actually a big Japanese game coming out!

At least PS4 is doing quite a bit better in Japan than some of the doomsayers were predicting last year (and to be fair not without reason either!). I'm glad PS4 has few good months at least. Who knows how it fares after January is over. Dragon Quest Heroes 2 is the only game I can think of that might release around then.

I'm very interested in seeing DQB split between Vita and PS4.

I think you're reading too much into it. It's just a meme.

"It's printing money" does not mean "it is profitable", otherwise the same could probably be said about Wii U at the moment, I doubt at 300€ (or Japanese equivalent) they sell the console at a loss.

And Andy should be in it seeing as he's the head of SCE now.

Advanced Warfare PS3 + PS4 : 143,646
Black Ops III PS4 only: 143,817

BO III has sold really great.

BO III is at 165k (without XBO and 360 SKUs). Advanced Warfare sold 149k (all systems), so we talking about ~15% better.

Plus remeber that last year Advanced Warfare received the dubbed edition later.
