my bad, sorry, just didn't realize I have to add 3 platorms for handhelds cause Famitsu counts separately 3DS and n3DS

anyway, if you want you can also add PS3XBO sales (so homes have 4 different platforms while handhelds are 5) and add other 2k ;)

03./00. [3DS] Project X Zone <SLG> (Bandai Namco Games) {2012.10.11} (¥6.280) - 85.539 / NEW <57,55%>
02./00. [3DS] Project X Zone 2: Brave New World # <SLG> (Bandai Namco Games) (¥7.171) - 40.945 / NEW

That's a huge drop. I mean 3DS userbase grew by almost 12 million from the release of the original PxZ to the release of its sequel in 2015. What a bomb!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Rise of the Tomb Raider launch in Japan on November 12th? As it doesn't even show up on these charts, I really don't know what they were thinking releasing it in Japan.

It's been said thousands of times (and there's dedicated thread about it too) but it's more like what were they thinking making it XB1 exclusive..

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
Wii U is lower than what I expected, good Splatoon though.
PS4 is about what I was expecting for the week right after Call of Duty's release. By the way, Black Ops III had a better hold than expected.
3DS had a slightly better hold than what I expected, but oh boy Project X Zone 2's debut. Time for the West to pick up the slack!

Also, My Hero Academia: Battle for All announced for 3DS in this week's Jump issue.

Unsurprisingly, PXZ2 bombed: the first one got a terrible word-of-mouth and ended in the bargain bins. PXZ2 was made with Western countries in mind, and it was clear since its announcement (it will be even Multi-5!).

Wasn't it a goal of the Tomb Raider franchise reboot to become uncharted? Mission accomplished.

Wow. I guess art Academy really moved some units to make the wiiu sell 15k units. Nintendo should've released it sooner.

Also, seems next week the ps4 will finally sell 1 million units in japan this year. Grats to it.

Which is weird, because I can't imagine that it'll do a lot better over here either. The first one was a surprise success that sold despite being a bad game, they won't be able to achieve that twice.

It's not a BAD game please, repetitive and maybe boring but it does the job for one looking for a good looking (hell, how many 2d games look like that today ?) fun to play cross over.

My guess is that even with half the sales from the first episode they will still be making money with it (development cost was most likely lower than the first entry too).

Battlefront should, at the very least, keep the PS4 stable for another week. 27-28K minimum. I hope it can get to that ~33K range again though.

Third party support pulling through until next year.

My thoughts as well. The second one is going to bomb even if it turns out to be fun by some miracle.

I know this has been the narrative for months, but it's stunning to me how successful Splatoon has been in Japan, as well as throughout the rest of the world. Just imagine how the game would have done on a system as successful as the Wii. It would have been a sales monster!

No doubt, NX will be getting a Splatoon game at some point or another. I don't think it's out of the question for them to try and get another one out by Holiday 2017.

Pokémon SMD is approaching 2k fast on Famitsu - now can we said its legs are terrible?

Nice to see Famista Returns hanging there and not being affected much by the sold-out in the first week.

Well, in the West PXZ sold well thanks to word-of-mouth so perhaps Western gamers liked it more? PXZ2 might receive some more promotion given the Multi-5 and new popular characters, so we'll see.

so home consoles have performed as well as handhelds lately (even exceeding this week)

and here i thought there was no potential for that to happen?

i thought 20k was good and anything above that is wishful thinking in a normal week, i guess lowered expectations only apply when it's concerning ur favorite sony system

Splatoon really carried Wii U in Japan this year. It stayed even after Mario Maker came and went.
Click to expand...
Its crazy that this year was probably the worst lineup for the system since it launched, but it managed to be yoy just on the basis of a single game.

Last year the wiiu sold 604k consoles. It needs to sell just 70k till the rest of the year to overpass it. And everything points to having a better holiday than the last. guess no one expected that.

Vita is starting to slide after a pretty solid run at the 16K to 18K mark. Any reason for that, or am I remembering the numbers incorrectly?

"Look, Nintendo will capture lightning in a bottle again and everything will be fine."

Jokes aside, Splatoon didn't turn things around, and it's pretty clear. On the other hand, it's showing how, with a single game, Nintendo can do a lot. Splatoon proved that Nintendo can still successfully launch a new IP, aimed at all types of audiences, in an unproven genre for them, even on a dead platform, and able to help hw sales a bit.

lol how am i angry?

if anything im happy that the ps4 has the potential to do more than 20k weekly, which is what most people think as "good" and anything higher isn't realistic just based on the market in these few years, but i think the sales has had little to do with the market or that the fact that it isn't a handheld and more to do with the appeal of the consoles that we've had, which includes the lineup it has had

quite a few people were laughing when i said this, so it feels good that ps4 sales have ramped up in the past week fews

kinda funny u think im angry every week when i rarely even post, maybe once a month tops

while a certain poster is consistently bitter bout nintendo talk, getting worked up over people praising them just because no one is impressed by sony sales, im sure u know who it is

kinda ironic that i had more faith in ps4's sales potential than other people, yet im the bad guy

Welp, that's it for the Project X Zone franchise.

At least we even got a sequel, with LORD WRIGHT and GODDESS MAYA kicking generic ass.

PS4 is not selling bad ( not even good), you're expectation are just too higher, 27k in a non week game is great, you're 40-50k basis in a normal week is too much, not even in a holidays week, but in a week withouth game, i mean, hemm... you know.
