I think he is referring to ArmsWhat was suppose to be the new Splatoon? Arms? Snack World? Haven't seen any new IP from Japan with Splatoon level potential.

Mario Odyessy?The Switch dip this week is pretty low, but it certainly doesn't warrant some of these reactions lol. Especially when we know there should be a sizable uptick in supply next week.
Great that Splatoon 2 has already hit 1m retail (according to Famitsu at least). I wonder what the Switch's 2nd million seller will be.
Mario Odyessy?
How do 3D Mario games do in Japan?
One week of 20k and we're already losing our minds.
Again I was right about ARMS. You guys really didn't think it would be the next Splatoon right?
I was right about it crawling to 200K and then dragging itself beyond that.
Because I'm almost always right I'll just say that DQXI on Switch will make 300k.
The only time I've been wrong is the Wii U so I'm pretty accurate.
Exactly. Gonna need receipts on many people saying Arms would sell millions like Splatoon.since you brought up, what's your actual ARMS prediction tho?
'ARMS will sell more than 200k sometime but not sell 1.5 million. King me" is about the most safe choice of 2017 lol
How far have we come...
Probably the most accurate guy... even so he will be low at 3DS.
For Arms my personal estimate for it to be considered a success in Japan was at least 500k. It has covered half distance so far, until January it will be clear if it has the power to reach that number or remain a good but not spectacular release for Switch.
I'm fairly certain Arms was developed with the west more in mind, so Japanese sales won't determine its success.

You can't expect sales of a game from this development team to be satisfying because it outsold similar entries on weak systems. If genre was the determing factor most genres would be dead in Japan except Nintendo published games.

GamesMaya report:
The new releases couldn't do anything against it (Neptunia, Yomawari, Lost Child...).
Good!Before the release of Sen no Kiseki III in Japan and Ys VIII in the West, little Falcom looks alright with 2,3 million dollars profit compared to 1 million dollars the year before. This is from October 1 2016 to June 30 2017. Net sales and operating income are also higher than last year.

Rise of MHXX preorders last days is what I read at other retailer blogs too. Increased Switch shipments this week and the bundle will help its initial sales.
I did my part. But this is like the 4th rerelease, so I don't expect it to have a bunch of sales.ßig;246878260 said:One Piece isn't even going to chart next week is it.

That's quite interesting. Maybe something similar to what happened with the Wii U Bundle of Monster Hunter 3G.
I really hope that Double Cross surpass all expectation in order to see what Capcom reaction would be.

Following the sales results of Monster Hunter XX, what will Capcom's approach to the Nintendo Switch be going forward?
The Nintendo Switch seems to be doing very well, and we look forward to further growth in its install base. Continuing with Resident Evil Revelations, we are evaluating how we will support this platform in the future.
GamesMaya report:
Today, there was a big new shipment of Splatoon 2 Bundle. The new releases couldn't do anything against it (Neptunia, Yomawari, Lost Child...).
Switch is still selling out everything it's shipped.
The big release of the week is tomorrow with Monster Hunter XX. A sudden rise of pre-orders happened, along with the hardware.

Caught it before the edit, I see. Damn autocorrect seems to be having a drinking problem.Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm pretty sure neither Famitsu or Media Create track wine sales in Japan.
So, the digital download code for MHXX rosé dozens of places over the past day and now passed DQXI PS4 to become the number one daily bestseller on amazon. Is there a particular reason why the digital code is rising so much towards launch, or is that standard practice (Splatoon 2 did something similar, though not as aggressively as this)?

I mean sorta. It shipped almost 1 million in the rest of the world in comparsons to 230 in japan. That's still 80% of it's shipments sold outside of Japan. Not sure about at the same period for Splatoon 1 but ltd Splatoon the proportion was more 70% of it's sales were outside Japan. So far it seems less Japan focused.
Falcom gave up on the Vita, like Sony, they can keep their game.First PV for Sen no Kiseki III by the way : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fr-8b6S6HOQ

Anyway the quality dropped after Ao no Kiseki, so whatever...
Good for them if they're making money. But I don't like the direction they took with their games at all.
