Some people were expecting it to be another million seller on 3DS. I doubt if DQXI on 3DS will match the sales of DQIX.

You cannot make that comparison
DQM was spin-off and sequel of the game that have already appeared on 3DS multiple time whereas DQXI will be the first time mainline DQ appears on 3DS
I think it will do tremendous number, definitely will cross 1 million on first week

Well that was a given, or do you mean even if the PS4 version didn't exist? The question I'm wondering is what the split will be, S-E is pushing the series on PS4 pretty hard so maybe it will be closer than most think?

Probably not? Nintendo is pretty far behind but I have no idea what Nintendo and Level 5 plan to do going forward.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 second week drop doesn't suggest it will have better legs than previous 3DS releases, it will finish its commercial run selling around 700.000 units. A big drop for the series, it is specially sad that it won't even be able to match the second remake for 3DS that also saw a drop from the first one.

Joker 3 has much better second week than VIII which came out last year.

Golden Week is very close but I don't know how good word of mouth is.

Was anyone expecting it to?

Dragon Quest 9 did ~4.4 million copies.

Unless I'm forgetting something, the only 3DS games to surpass that number are Animal Crossing and Pokemon X / Y, and even those barely did so.

Hiska saving the day. Lowering everyone's expectations so that the actual result seems better by comparison.

Youkai did well. Minecraft continuing legs even with the hardware tumbling, which is nice. And Pokken doing better than I was expecting.

Everything else is pretty crappy though. Miku legs; DoA legs; DQM legs etc. are all disappointing.

This is the first mainline DQ game on a platform that has a huge DQ fanbase. Also correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the 3DS at a better position hardware wise than DS when it comes to release of the game? 3DS will be at around 20+ million. What was the case for DS during IX's launch?

In any case, the PS4 version might do its own number and take away some of the sales but since 3DS will definitely get the game ahead of PS4, I still expected it to do well.

The DS was at ~27 million when DQIX released.

I haven't check the numbers but I'm pretty confident DS was ahead of 3DS at the same point in time.
DS was a sales monster...

The NDS was at 26,958,437 at the time: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=368314

The NDS was adding 45,000+ units a week baseline in the prior month and a half (sometimes going notably higher with releases) as well.

This is before we get to the general health of the dedicated industry being much better during that timeframe, and a much more successful Square Enix in the dedicated space.

Any bets on what will be the decline for the upcoming Tales of Berseria? Zestiria opened with 300k+ and it had a very bad reception after release. I doubt if Berseria can come close to 300k, so I think it will open to 200k-250k, which is terrible for an RPG series that was considered second next to FF.
Click to expand...

I'm expecting somewhere between 170k-230k. I haven't seen a Tales as hated as Zestiria since Tempest. I'm confused as to why Namco was so confident that they could do another two-game deal with it.

Thanks for the numbers. It puts into perspective the current sales trend.

Sucks to be a witness of a dying industry :(

What? There are people who rank Zestiria above other Tales games. It's not as popular but it's not even in the vicinity of being hated as much as Tempest.

Yeah, it's just a really bad shape for the whole industry.

For example, comparing 2009 to 2014 (it gets worse in 2015, but we don't usually get the chart until another month or two):

famitsu-market-20141osea.png


And for just for total software units sold in 2014 vs. 2015 despite 2015 having an extra week:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1163852
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1166825

2014 (52 weeks): 43,053,288
2015 (53 weeks): 37,348,000

"Up" is generally not the direction any franchise has been heading. I think we determined a week or two ago that no franchise has actually improved iteration over iteration so far this year, and instead have all declined.

3DS lifetime sales = 20,606,251
PS2 lifetime sales = 21,831,556

...Is just a question of time at this point, 3DS will outsell PS2 by end of year easy. :p

P.S
JESUS Wii U numbers on Famitsu. D:

01./00. [3DS] Yo-Kai Sangokushi <SLG> (Level 5) {2016.04.02} (¥4.600) - 269.516 / NEW

02./00. [PS4] Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness <RPG> (Square Enix) {2016.03.31} (¥7.980) - 113.022 / NEW
Quite a drop. sad to see

showing some legs. almost 100K this week

04./02. [PS4] Dark Souls III <RPG> (From Software) {2016.03.24} (¥7.430) - 33.406 / 243.547 (-84%)
That's big drop for dark souls

05./05. [WIU] Pokken Tournament # <FTG> (Pokemon Co.) {2016.03.18} (¥7.200) - 14.295 / 112.302 (-50%)
showing a bit of legs. lets hope they can reach that 200K eventually

07./11. [3DS] Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games <SPT> (Nintendo) {2016.02.18} (¥4.700) - 10.294 / 129.482 (-11%)
doing better than i would of expected

06./12. [PSV] Minecraft: PlayStation Vita Edition <ADV> (Sony Computer Entertainment) {2015.03.19} (¥2.400) - 10.657 / 723.479 (+0%)

I guess we can officially confirm Star Ocean is not a major series in case anyone thought that. Yokai is still doing quite nice for itself. Gonna be sad when the spin-offs stop being juggernauts like what happened to Pokemon. Speaking of Pokemon, Pokken seems to be holding alright. Minecraft is ever unchanging as always.

I wouldn't be surprised if SOV sells more worldwide than in Japan. Death of console games indeed. Also was there something wrong with Project Diva X? That's a huge drop.

That isn't great for SO5, but I still feel a little relieved since I thought it was 71k.

Personally dissapointed @PS4 hardware. Was expecting move of a boost from SO5 and DS3 second week.

I bet that the MGSV:TPP boost is because of the MGO DLC (Cloaked in Silence) launch. Metal Gear Online is pretty popular in Japan.
