Don't know the details, but I suppose X has more modes and other stuff? Future Tone is a download only title so it's probably bare-bones in terms of features.
It is Sega lol. How can u think they won't sabotage their own product there?^_^
Future Tone is an arcade port that has a lot of bells and whistles. It pretty much has almost everything the Diva home games have except for Edit Mode (which is heavily pared down in X) and Diva Room (inconsequential waifu room simulator).
Actually Future Tone also has an extra difficulty mode the home versions don't have, EX Extreme.
Yeah, was about to mention that game when Nirolak commented about it a couple of pages ago (but wasn't sure it was already out, and I kind of forgot about it).
It really doesn't make sense. I mean, 220 songs is insane for any rhythm game, let alone Hatsune Miku. Even Project Mirai DX has "only" 50+ songs, and that's including all those from the first Project Mirai.
Is there a special occasion (Miku anniversary?) for them to do things that way?

About Yo-kai Watch 3: I don't see it being delayed at all. No way Level-5 is going to give up on that sweet summer holiday money. There is no real reason for Level-5 to delay it either (it's not like the game is stuck in development hell or anything). Besides, looks like marketing machine is already going. Since January, anime has been focusing a lot on YW3 Yo-kai.
The "silence" surrounding YW3 isn't too surprising. YW2 wasn't even announced before April. It's Level-5's usual MO for Yo-kai Watch games. Next month is when they'll start talking about it.
I see, sounds like PS4 X is kinda redundant then. Don't know what Sega are doing LOL. Thanks for the info!

So much damage control for the upcoming PD game.
Well, YW3 was announced one year ago with a real trailer and was slated for 2015. Therefore it doesn't seem usual MO for YW games, though not that surprising in the grand scheme of things, since it's a big project and Level-5 had to repurpose plans given the huge success of Busters.

Are you telling me Future Tone is a pure rythm game with a ton of songs and without the boring diva timesink? I'm in lol
Thank the lord for SEGA sabotaging their products if it ends like this
I don't think the initial reveal matters that much, to be honest. Especially since we still know squat about the game. Though what I mean by "standard MO" is "proper reveal a couple of months before release, close to launch". Which is pretty much what we had for YW2, YWB, and what we'll get for YW3. You're right when you say it's a big project, and I also think they changed their plans at one point (though I don't think they ever gave a proper release window for YW3).

Nikkei (via Serkan Toto):
No big surprise here. I don't think they have many Wii U left in storage, to be honest.
Some time ago people liked to see the rise of minecraft on wiiu eshop. The game come back to the second position these days, where DQX got back to the first place, since they are giving for free on the eshop for the whole month.
That means that the two best selling games on the eshop are both 3rd party games, unusually so.

Reading about how dramatically the japanese game industry and market has changed over the past decade is disheartening.

You did the same thing with Dragon Quest Joker 3 yesterday, gave reasons for potentially lower sales. You also gave a reason for why the newest Mario & Sonic game might not match a previous Mario & Sonic game's LTD. Valid reasons i think, but what people said about PD is not anything different from what you said about other games (well, if you concider what you said yourself as damage control, then just ignore this message

It's only damage control if it's about Vita. When he makes claims about a 3DS game, it's all reasonable explanation.
I was thinking a 55k-60k opening for Digimon Next Order, but first day sell-through didn't seem too bright, hope it sells good enough for them to bring it to the west.
If they track XB1, they will still track Wii U for a while.
Still, there is a legit chance Wii U will drop at XB1 numbers at one point lmao.

They stopped tracking PSTV at the start of the year, even though it was always outselling XB1, because Sony had stopped producing it at the end of 2015.
By that logic, WiiU tracking should stop at the end of 2016, if the Nikkei article is true.
edit: I guess it depends on how much excess stock they make before they stop production, though.
Honestly, aside from the jokes we get about XB1 sales, there is no point in them tracking it. My guess is they will stop tracking Wii U mid to late 2017 because it will be doing XB1-like numbers and its successor will be on the market.
I can't believe there isn't a single piece of self reflection in your body to make you stop writing a comment like this.
If my posts were construed as "damage control" then you are pretty far off the mark Pennywise. I'd keep your comments to yourself.
Yeah it's a very straight rhythm game, but Diva X is also just a straight rhythm game. The quest mode they added is a largely theatrical addition with little benefit to the user. It's like Nirolak said, lack of adapting and investment causes fatigue and sales drop.

Good point. Well they were still close too, like always well under < 1K territory, i don't see Wii U drop that much this year, so i think they will still track it in 2017. Sure they will stop track it before than many of us expected.

speaking of Famitsu, usually they stop tracking by the end of the year (December) or the end of the fiscal year (March)
so in this case I suppose they will stop tracking Wii U this December
for comparison, they stopped tracking Vita TV in December, and if someone here remember, I pointed out that Vita TV was unavailable in all shops already in the begininnig of January, while Sony announcement is just from a couple of weeks ago.
probably we'll see two digit numbers for Wii U in the end of the year, if not before, considering they already have stock problems.
DC last track : 2002.2.17
XB last track : 2006.12.4 (the following week 360 was released) (M-C kept tracking until beg. of 2007)
GC last track : 2007.4.1 (end of FY2006)
Wii last track : 2014.8.31
360 last track : 2014.8.31 (the following week XBO was released)
More info about Mitsumi.
In this one, Moribe (Mitsumi CEO) says that sales have fallen from 100 billion yen to 30 billion yen, and that their human resources were insufficient. Something that drove them to became subsidiary of Minebea.

This is the presentation of the integration with Minebea, finally concluded in April 2017.
(Something coincidential with all the Wii U, and NX stuff)

What is funny about this is that it means the new digimon game would've shipped or sold over 200k as well
Wonder what helpd it gain such popularity now
Rakuten Weekly Comment
- PlayStation 4 was again the best selling console of the week. PlayStation Vita did better comparing to last week. Wii U Pokkén Set is sold out, and the units sold came basically from pre-orders.
- The best selling game was Digimon World, and The Division even hold really well. Pokkén, though, will be the truly best selling game, since there are two more vendors and there is the Wii U Pokkén Set. Mario and Sonic, Battlefield and Splatoon also charted in high positions.
- The most pre-ordered games, was again Yo-Kai Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Dark Souls, Dragon Quest, and especially Dead or Alive, had the last pre-orders of the moment and charted in high positions, as well.
- The Splatoon Water Gun, and the Splatoon amiibo were quite popular and could influence in Splatoon legs.

Takarajima Stores started the promotion of Puzzle and Dragons X with this big banner, and some DVD for Minecraft PSVita.
TSUTAYA, on their books floor, they had this today, Splatoon Pia.

Well the fighting genre seems to be pretty dead
Ah sorry, I honestly didn't know.
There was a discussion about <55K being a bad result for Next Order and decline of the series, so I thought it was being compared to Cyber Sleuth's 77K number on Media Create. Cyber Sleuth debuted at 54K on Famitsu.Inexplicable surge of XB1 sales?
Ok sales for Pokkén Tournament. Too bad Wii U will drop like a rock next week.

That's... better than I was expecting.
Not a stellar result, but nothing too worrying either.
It's more than I expected after the SF5 sales in Japan
Hopefully Pokken is doing decent in the west. So we will get DLC and future Pokken games

So what the heck was this? They can't be meaning the regular 3DS and the game sales cut off over 4K.
