I don't see why that is not possible ltd
Right. Somehow it's still 3DS' fault.Well considering how SK2 damaged the brand i'd say it's actually coming back

Yeah, it's funny to read all people writing "sold-out" when we have a title that actually went sold-out such that supply couldn't meet the demand (Etrian Mystery Dungeon, which came back in the chart last week, after two weeks of disappearance).
In the vast majority of cases, a high sell-through might simply signal that demand has been fully satisfied.

Uhh, why did PS4 crash so hard? This seems bad :/
Believe me or not, I just came back from Japan and there's actually quite a few stores didn't have Bloodborne in stock.
Both.

This isnt America.
That and the game generally is not a title that is which the non core gamers latch onto. So pretty much this looks in line with how things were in the past.
The good side is that Sony most def is smart and not over-producing units so them selling through nearly most of their first shipment already made the game profitable domestically.
Icing on the cake is the fact its doing very well overseas.
Well I work in Japan and at my commuting path there are pretty much have almost all major retailers lined up so I can testify and backup what you have seen lol.
Also I believe that was mentioned in the tsutaya report that hiska posted in the previous thread
Well Tetris was the best selling Game Boy game in Japan until 1996/1997 but that might be cheating since it was still ported by a JP based dev (BPS).

Considering that it was New 3DS specific, did not really expect large numbers over here in Japan.

Senran Kagura 2 : 66,484 (Famitsu numbers)
Senran Kagura Estival Versus : 83,061 (w/o PS4 2nd week, Famitsu numbers)
around 20k more than the previous (main) title you call that a decline ?
I can't believe Sony didn't ship enough Bloodborne copies to Japan. They should have known it would be huge. I guess they were focusing on the US.
;P
Retailers have much stronger control over how much physical copies will come to the market. If they don't order then physical copies won't be printed, period.

Checking Amazon and Yodobashi now isnt that helpful when talking about stock situations from last week though. I assume that is what people are referring to at least. I dont know about the stock situation from last week other than what Tsutaya's report said:
I guess they didn't expect Bloodborne to be such a big hit in Japan, then.

PS4 is actually doing "ok" in Japan. Not great but its definetly doing better then the PS3 did right? I feel like that thing was selling under 10k a week for most of the time until the slim was out

I'm thinking between 15k optimistically and Wii U pessimistically.
Pretty much, and they are also aware that people are becoming aware of digital version more and more, regardless of the platform. This makes retailers even more careful not to overstock games. This is because they basically can't return copies to publishers once payments are made..

but I meant in general not only for a specific time
if Minecraft becomes the top seller, I can hardly imagine some other game will sell more, nothing so strong on the horizon for Vita, considering it's very unlikely an hypothetic God Eater 3 will be exclusive
I'm pretty sure it's still behind GC, PS3 and Wii U launch aligned. Maybe it finally passed Dreamcast though? We need a new failed consoles line chart.
Well, that specific time was 7-8 years for Tetris so it was basically like a regular system lifecycle. Game Boy's sort of weird like that since it sort of had two distinct lifecycles; pre-Pokémon and post-Pokémon.

I'm thinking 23k optimistically and 18k pessimistically. I'm sure there is enough evidence that PS4 & PSV will remain in the 20k baseline.
it´s doing worse than PS3 in Japan.

Not in japan. ~250K in total and 200K for the first shipment makes absolutely sense.
My guess, too
Well they have Dragon Quest Heroes 2 but that's cross-gen so yeah it may not do much.
Unless SE is trying to go MH-style like they hinted at Famitsu

Ugh. I hoped Rodea would've done okay. I think it looks great (will be buying when it releases over here) and I like Kadokawa. Guess the answer to "will it outsell Natural Doctrine?" is a resounding "no", and that's one hell of a bad result.
On the plus side, Xenoblade did well imo. And Super Robot Wars... is down, but still sold very well. And Minecraft holding on well!
Shame SAO tumbled so much. But EDF sold pretty decently (I was expecting more Onechanbara/Omega Quintet tier).
Mixed emotions this week!

Didn't Tsutayatsyat say that Bloodborne was sold out as well. Though I doubt its sold out everywhere, just in some places so I won't read too much into it.
DkS had an 88% drop. Bloodborne has dropped around 85% (did it in my head so its not exact).
Still I was expecting more (250k LTD seems out of sight).

A big shame that Bloodborne wasn't a smash hit I guess. Legs pls. It's expected that Bloodborne will sell more in western markets, correct?
Edit: Updated comparison charts would be appreciated!!

I see. This makes sense. They are planning to replenish the stock, though, right?
Yet it was unable to keep up with demand. XD
You need to graph it. Sales-Age are visual learners.

DQH2 is already good if sells more than 100k on Vita, c'mon...
the only one title which can (might) sell more than 400k on Vita would be GE3, nothing more nothing less (as far as we know about current line-up of course)
but I have to admit I'm getting curious about Kan Colle... it's performing really good on both amazon and comgnet and I don't know the reason
Wait, SE said DQH2 would be a hunting action game instead of a musou?

Come on now, even before it was released you were already playing down the numbers...

Please note that this was before DQH2 announcement.
All they mentioned is the possibility to have online multiplayer element. However DQH bosses are really like Toukiden bosses, so..
I see you've already revised down from 25k+ weekly but you need to go farther than that.

Haha, it's true. I was secretly hoping it would be a platform-defining success though, despite knowing better
I look forward to it. Don't forget DC & GC too!

Kancolle kai will do 400k easily
