Monster Hunter has itself become the monster.

Amazing to see Splatoon be the one console game to do more than one million. Not implying the others don't deserve it, but the fact that it did as well as it did is just incredible.

Top 10's all Ninty. Looks like they're still strong over there.
 
you guys remember when we used to respect famitsu?
I think it all went down after they gave all 10's to Final Fantasy 13 (at least for me)
edit: I know we are talking about units only but...ah nevermind random rant I guess.

Splatoon is almost at Mario Kart 8 overall numbers and MK8 came out a year earlier. Totally did not expect such a success.

Holy smokes I feel I can count the non Japanese titles on that list on one hand.
And there are none in the top ten.

In all fairness the NPD and Pal Charts also tend to be biased largely toward western games.

That xenoblade number is fucking awful.

It must have done better in the west.

XenoX just feels like a game thats sales will be NA-heavy. That's what my gut tells me. It really is the type of game that appeals well to that market... plus I think there are just more Wii U owners in NA as well.

07. [3DS] Monster Strike <RPG> (Mixi) {2015.12.17} (¥4.860) - 636.709

#7 for the year after only 10 days tracking?
 
That...doesn't look like a healthy market.

But go Splatoon with that breakout hit success

Yay splatoon!

Honestly was kinda surprised to see zestiria in the top 20 considering the explosively negative reaction in Japan.

Question. Does Capcom have an exclusive deal with Nintendo with Monster Hunter or is that is just the route Capcom chooses?
 
655K for MGS V is such a great result. The MGS audience in Japan hasn't faded one bit, right ?

The lack of legs for Bloodborne is probably the most outrageous thing here. Will be interesting to see how fast Dark Souls III can reach 200K.

Also, we have Yakuza 0 at 240K for PS3 and 140K for PS4. We will see very soon how the situation has turned in favor of PS4 with Yakuza Kiwami release. Not to mention Dragon Quest Heroes II in May.

I didn't really follow its numbers but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of that was frontloaded before the negative word-of-mouth started to set in.

700k+ with digital for MGSV iirc.

It's at around 300k units in NA, based on an in-game tracker of how many people killed a certain early-game boss. That number also accounts for people not connected to the internet or that haven't reached that point yet, extrapolated from statistics based on the Japanese version.

So wait, Xenoblade only sold 4k more after it left the top 30 the entire year?

Jessssssus.

At least it's doing better in the West, but damn.

EDIT: Is this just retail? Or retail + digital?
 
The PS3 version of GTAV, including re-releases, must have passed a million by now...

This site is pretty out of date but it should be close enough and it gives us 851k for the original release. So when you add 151k from the bargain edition yep GTAV has crossed a million on PS3 alone. When you add two PS4 versions (original 197k + budget version 57k) overall GTAV has sold around 1.25 million in retail in Japan. First game based on western ip to do over million since Crash Bandicoot 3 if my memory serves me right and overall best selling western game ever.

GTAV is the first western title published by a western company to hit that milestone
