I would like to have a conversation with the 67000 people who bought an XBone from Japan. I bet less that most of the 67000 buyer s are not Japanese.

I've just updated with your numbers, but your number for 3DS hardware are wrong. Concretely the New 3DS XL model.

It's 24.382 instead of 24.832

Any request? I can do other comparisons, but remember, if you want me to make a graph should be with leggy games. Make a graph for just two/three weeks of tracking isn't worth.

Well I got the numbers from Nintendo Everything and that's what they posted, but yes, it is indeed wrong.

Powapro on Vita should be 12.358 just on retail, maybe the digital data is the difference between the total there and the numbers I just posted not sure.

Maybe hiska has the Famitsu issue, hopefully he can help, I'll see if I can contact the admin from NE about the issue.

Why did Nintendo bother doing a Nintendo Selects label for ACNL when everyone in Japan already has like 5 copies of it?

Then why does it sell?

First Day Sell-Through {2016.08.18}

[PS4] [PS3] Tales of Berseria <RPG> (Bandai Namco Games) (¥8.200) - 70% less than 300k shipped. PS4 version is leading, but the PS3 is still selling a good amount of units

Compared to what it's doing in the west, the Pokemon Go boost is kind of disappointing. Another example of how hard it is to sell old games in Japan.

Looks like Tales of Berseria is having a good start. Tales of Zestiria quickly disappeared from the charts after the Alisha controversy, so here's hoping there won't be a repeat of this.

The Tales series generally does not have legs from what I remember.

RPGs in general don't have good legs, but TOZ was especially bad due to the controversy.

70% first day sell-through isn't good? AFAIK none of the Tales of sequels did better than the original (TOB is a prequel), and TOZ was panned by fans, so a drop is expected.
 
No Alicia shitstorm this time, at least for now. As said above, RPG does not have legs anyway but it will be interesting to see if the game hold better than Zestiria. First impressions seems to be nice :)

70% first day sell-through from a smaller shipped number though? Not to mention Tales and most Jrpg had zero legs. I feel u guys had just reduced ur expectation a lot there which is why u think this is a good result.

--------------------

Seems Berseria opened quite well during this day, it was a popular good at lot of stores. PlayStation 4 fully available at Takarajima Stores.

Takarajima also is showing the change of the release date of Final Fantasy XV.

At Sofmap, for example, there will be events where PlayStation VR will be shown. I would say lately there is interest on it. Also seems that according to Rakuten, Pokémon Sun and Moon pre-orders are seeing a slightly decrease.

Regarding Berseria I think if you know what leads to the first day sales (preorder, zestiria backlash, expectations from retailers and YSO) the first day sellthrough is "good"

That doesn't mean it's good when you look at the big picture (series decline continue, tales do not have legs), but looking at amazon reviews and the first opinions on the import thread the game should be fine to sell its first shipment, something Zestiria struggled to do.

All in all it should have better "legs" (by Tales standards) than previous entries, nothing outstanding but 300k+ LTD doesn't seem out of reach which is good on the "everything is going down, IP are dying on home consoles, japan software sales are doomed" current scale.

...

TLDR; It's bad but could have been even worse.

@hiska-kun : Yes looking at both &#332;kami's retail numbers and Chris's digital numbers it fits.

If the first week is around 230k, i would say 300k is more or less bye bye though and that will be a bad number for Tales series.T_T
