Ok debut for DQMJ3, but legs will be crucial. Not too worried about this one. Impact on 3DS sales limited, but that was to be expected for the 3rd DQM on 3DS.

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
Pokken had a quite decent second week drop, didn'it? Probably helped by the Friday's release instead of a Thursday like usual. Did it get store price drops of any kind the last week?

Wow, that's a really good week! (Apart from wiiu hw as usual)
Good job to DOAX3 as well, honestly expected a bit lower for PS4.

DQMJ3 and DS3 seem lower than expected. On the other hand, PS4 shows how responsive can be with the release of proper software (even if not THAT great, as for my previous comment), and I still bet on it for the best selling HW of the year in Japan :p

BB was 152.567 with half the consoles, maybe little bad for DS3 given that it's established IP but maybe it sold more digitally? Seems okay when compared to DS2 it seems.

Wasn't there also a holiday? Maybe that helped a bit. (Or is the holiday the monday this week?)

The rest must be digital!

well bloodborne did about 45k digitally in a month so it is possible but probably not 90k lol. maybe 55-60k for the month

actually i am not sure how people from overseas buying it digitally in japan store to play early affects it

I forgot about digital sales, FW may be identical to DS2 if you include digital sales.

But I still expected growth.

From the previous thread:

By this logic, why do any expensive promotion at all? Maybe we should tell SQEX that they can safe alot of money when it comes to marketing FF15 ;)
The example wasnt about it being cheap or expensive promotion, it was about doing promotion shortly after the game has come out. I dont think it matters that much if this promotion in specific was done two weeks before the release date, or two weeks after. Unless the game has poor word to mouth, as mentioned.

16./11. [3DS] Animal Crossing: New Leaf [Nintendo Selects] <ETC> (Nintendo) {2016.03.17} (¥2.700) - 7.806 / 14.737 (+13%)
19./30. [3DS] Tomodachi Life [Nintendo Selects] <ETC> (Nintendo) {2016.03.17} (¥2.700) - 5.120 / 8.252 (+63%)

I bet digital sales are quiet high. Much higher than usual.

90%

I must have overestimated Japan's lust for large mammaries because I expect more than that for DoA. Seems like a flop.

Do pure fanservice games generally sell more than that? I always had the impression that 40-60k was the ballpark for that kind of game.
 
About DOA Xtreme 3, since I'm not sure Media Create / Famitsu would track them, Play Asia said the game have broken all previous sales records for Play-Asia.com. The previous record holder was the Japanese release of J-Stars Victory Vs. for PS3 & PS Vita. No link, because banned site.

I guess next week we will know the truth about PS4 basis.

Last year the sales are dropped like a rock in April... we will see how will do this year.

Yes, as some are saying Bloodborne did quite well on digital, so we could expect at least DSIII doing something similar.

I don't know why but I expected way higher for DoAX3.

Good numbers for Dark Souls 3 though. Lol at the XBO one not even listing.

I don't think PS4 dropped below 20k since last September, so I'd say 20k is the absolute minimum.

Star Ocean V is releasing tomorrow, so if anything, the week after the next will be interesting.

Does it? The game must have been extremely cheap to produce. Almost everything is made from re-used assets with a bit more physics and polish.

Yep, game is clearly a success, game was announced last August with an "Game has just begun development at Team Ninja"
Also Asia version sales should be interesting.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Impressive Pokken numbers considering the WiiU hardware situation.

From the previous thread:


The example wasnt about it being cheap or expensive promotion, it was about doing promotion shortly after the game has come out. I dont think it matters that much if this promotion in specific was done two weeks before the release date, or two weeks after. Unless the game has poor word to mouth, as mentioned.

Sorry if I wasn´t clear. By cheap I meant their general approach and lackluster pre-launch marketing, starting so late surely has an obvious affect on sales. Otherwise they wouldn´t do the complete opposite with FF15 with several events among other things, something that surely will get even more aggressive when we approach one month before launch, if previous FF game launches are any indication.

Pretty meh debut for DQMJ 3. Square didn't put that much effort into advertising it though.

DkS 3 is fine, on par with the rest of the series.

Pokken seems to be holding relatively decently.
