Media Create Sales: Week 13, 2014 (Mar 24 - Mar 30)

So I keep wondering, why is Capcom making an enhanced release of Gaist Crusher again? The original sold horribly and I don't think the anime was successful either. Why pour more cash into this failed project at this point?

Yeah the reason I tend to be a bit harsher on the 3DS than I would otherwise be is because as it stands it's honestly the last hope remaining, hahaha.

I blame it on the deadbeat systems aka Vita and WiiU. Normally the new systems would be performing better than those two. Well at least this year there is a chance WiiU and Vita will see an YoY increase. Question is can the PS4, Vita and WiiU negate and overcome the PS3 and 3DS's decline. Hardware wise there is very likely to be an increase due to PS4's entrance.

There's a lot of money to be made if it becomes a success, I think it's worth another try.

Gaist Crusher (game) looks horrible and boring though. Level-5 games are at the very least enjoyable.

Best on DS
(24/08/2008) Taiko no Tatsujin : 7tsu no Shima no Daibouken - 693,194
(26/04/2007) Taiko no Tatsujin : Touch de Dokodon - 641,229

Best on 3DS
(12/07/2012) Taiko no Tatsujin : Chibi Dragon to Fushigina Orb - 548,998

maybe next title will be sell better, but the first entry to the platform (Chibi Dragon) did worst compared to DS one (Touch de Dokodon)

another point : the brand is going down as it happened back in the day on PS2, both home and handheld versions had their spike on DS and Wii and now the sales are decreasing

So Gaist Crusher God is an actual sequel?

That's honestly a fairly minor drop all things considered. Being as there is no other Taiko game out there on the 3DS, it may eventually get up into the 600K range.

Also is it kind of sad that a paid MGS demo is basically outselling a completely new Yakuza game (even tho it's not a mainline Yakuza)

Yeah, there are games which sold aka the same amount or better than the ds version. I haven't numbers here in my head but they exist (fire emblem or set by example). From what you cited, there are olden in it's as if, Layton and aa. I like them a lot but I find 6 iterations too much. Tomodachi collection is because a lot who bought the ds version were disappointed and a lot don't know that the 3ds version has tons of enhancements. Also they can say "oh I spent tons of hours on the first one, I'm fed up" Taiko 3ds sold very well. New Mario and nintendogs : it's nintendo 's fault (not a lot efforts have been made on these two). Zelda, seems japs prefer stylet/cells having combo lol. Mario Kart 7: a lot of people don' t want to play anymore on portable because it kills your R button lol

Hero of Legend · Apr 5, 2014

Well I found an unexpected fact today.

Did you know that Game Republic had a hand in Spectrobes Origins for Wii (which was developed by Genki)? I sure as hell didn't.

I saw the credits, and I swear like 20 companies had their name in it, jeez.

This is good news.

I don't want a PS4 yet.

Even if it's not PS4, at least the console fanbase/games are somewhere (PS3).

Moor-Angol said:

Read again what chris said. Taiko for 3DS hasn't stopped selling yet. Still appears in the top 50 sometimes. There's no doubt it will surpass the 600k mark, and then it will eventually get closer to the best ds version.

Re: Earlier discussion about the 3DS hardware bump

Media-Create says that 16k units are from the 3 Love+ bundles.

It seems like those weren't that limited after all.

Takes total sales (Including March and using Dengeki sales) to around 32k ish.

Not great for DW. But then again it has already sold ~130k on PS3/PSV so takes total sales to over 160k which is the same as what DW7XL sold on PS3 couple of years back.

I would hope not, otherwise it was an entirely futile effort to make it available there

Takao · Apr 6, 2014

According to Nintendo's site, that wasn't released digitally, which is a ??? move.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Super Light seems to have started the event cycle.

For those who are unaware, basically social mobile games run "events" every couple of weeks that encourage people to go spend a bunch gems in order to get time limited items/cards/etc and have some special gameplay events like high reward PvP tournaments or high reward dungeons.

These events are what cause most of the fluctuation in the top 10-20 apps, which is a relatively stable set of games that frequently trade positions.

The game is currently the #6th highest grossing app on both iOS and Android in Japan. I've included historical charts below so the fluctuation events cause can be seen.

Hm interesting. Out of curiosity, is the game making its money entirely out of ads? Or does it have lots of microtransactions (thus what you mention about "buying" above is with real money)?

Do we know if these numbers include the upgrade program? Not just for this game, but for other games that also have or had an upgrade program.

Advertising revenue actually isn't caught on the top grossing charts since it doesn't go through Apple, so it's entirely IAP/microtransactions.

I've come to the conclusion that Comgnet and T are useless well other than seeing the vague placements of titles. I mean the points system is so inconsistent it would be more helpful if that was omitted.

L~A · Apr 7, 2014

Yep, it's gonna be a slow week... looks like we should expect some pretty big drops this Wednesday.

Psycho_Mantis said:

I know this has been asked to death, but can someone explain the points system?

Psycho_Mantis · Apr 7, 2014

cacildo said:

Theres no point in explaining something that is so inconsistent, let alone using it as a scale.

I mean WW HD had 56 pt which led 30k sales
Didn't MGSV GZ have around the same and it had 3 times the sales.

Alrus · Apr 7, 2014

cacildo said:

Comg is a chain of store and the point system represent one pre-order at their store. It doesn't really allow to predict anything correctly (certain games get more preorders than others due to the demographic they target) but it can give an appreciation of how a game will do.

Sammy Samusu · Apr 7, 2014

Psycho_Mantis said:

Well, let's just say you have come to the wrong conclusion.

Jamix012 · Apr 7, 2014

What do people think this week, PS4 above or below 18k?
