Is that a good result for Ys?

27K is not good for a first week.

 

[jj984jj]

Not too bad for a slow week. Ys did pretty decent numbers for a port. Switch continues to sell what they can ship. Not surprised at SFII, but I think they made their money back still. No idea about Guilty Gear.

 

[Gators300]

I think Street Fighter did fine, and Capcom is going to make a good amount of money on it when you factor in other territories. Once it hits $20 it will have a new lease on life as well.

 

[tolkir]

Well Street Fighter did terribly.

When you see this...

04./00. [PS4] Street Fighter V # <FTG> (Capcom) {2016.02.18} (¥7.990) - 41.990 / NEW


I think Capcom didn't expect many more.

 

[Fdkn]

27K is not good for a first week.

It's an enhanced port of a niche series that sells less than 2x that with new entries

 

[E-phonk]

So, the Switch is sitting at around 125k for May. If they keep roughly the same ratio for their other regions, that means US got around 200k and rotw got 175k. Does 500k seem about right for ww?

That's what they would ship according to their original forecast (before increasing production) I'd say. Big launch month and then 400-600k WW + nov/dec increased shipments.
They are definitely not at their higher production/shipping rate atm.

You can't really say for sure. Last month Japan goes 230k while US got 280k, so there's no consistency to be detected yet.

 

[Augemitbutter]

didn't expect to see Ys so high up as a late port. good stuff.

USFII is going to overtake SFV. that's what i read somewhere on this board.

 

[DR2K]

SFII tanked as expected. I expect ARMs to do around 200-300k

If they sold 100 copies they made their investment back.

 

[mrmickfran]

USF 2 probably sold enough copies to cover its budget lmao

 

[DaSorcerer7]

That's actually more than I was expecting for USF2.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

USF2 Road To 100k 2017 Dramatic Battle

Week 1 - 16.404 / NEW

Only 83,596 units to go.

When you consider the circumstances, it's good/decent.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

I think Nintendo will be happy with the current stability of Switch sales, even as the stock issues limit the ceiling of what they can sell. It means demand for the system isn't subsiding below a given level yet.

Margin of error for MHXX 3DS crossing 1.5 million physical next week.

 

[D_prOdigy]

16404 people need to call the police

Sorry.

this is the only one of these things that made me laugh,damn

09./00. [PSP] Ys Seven (Nihon Falcom) - 33,349 / NEW

 

[ChryZ]

Nier really sold an assload of copies.

 

[Orgen]

Amazed by Nier and Siege's legs. Also Super Mario Maker 3DS, not bad. Let's see what kind of legs does BotW has when there's more Switch stock but also more Switch games like Arms. I'm still not convinced that BotW can reach 1 million LTD (even adding the Wii U version).

If we go by Media Create numbers, this is the second week in a row where Switch shipments increased week-over-week

24,712 --> 26,114 --> 27,146

Gradual improvement, maybe...?

I'd say it is statistical noise.

[Sesha]

What was DMC4 Special Edition's retail price in Japan compared to USF2?

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Margin of error for MHXX 3DS crossing 1.5 million physical next week.

What are the chances of MHXX 3DS crossing, say, 1.7 million (or ~2x launch week) in physical sales before a budget re-release?

 

[FelipeMGM]

Damn, SFII D.O.A

it was prob cheap to make tho

 

[ChronotriggerJM]

What's with the slight PS4 bump?

 

[deleted]

Pretty crazy that in the year we get the Switch, the 3DS is up yoy.

And it might even stay that way with the New 2DS XL releasing later this year.

 

[Deku89]

Hope you'll add Splatoon 2 when that comes around.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

Hard to say. On paper MHXX Switch may eat into the long term sales potential, but then, it may also raise the profile of the 3DS version for people who want to play with their friends but don't wanna fork out for a Nintendo Switch.

What's with the slight PS4 bump?

Apparently it was pay day this prior week, hence also 3DS game bumps.

 

[E-phonk]

He'll have to enlarge the range.

 

[Zedark]

Hope you'll add Splatoon 2 when that comes around.

Am planning to, maybe ARMS as well.

Edit: Could probably do Monster Hunter XX Switch and Mario Odyssey as well.

 

[Kanann]

Mario too! LOL

cheer~.

Ah that makes sense lol. I've been expecting the PS4 to just fall off a cliff, but she seems to be chugging along lol.

 

[MisterR]

?

I don't get it. Doesn't your post exactly prove his point?

 

[Jpop]

SFV opened at what 40k'ish?

 

[The Horror the horror]

Unless my reading comprehension has gone down to the dumps, how was the last main entry (Ys Seven) 2x fewer than 27k?

 

[Gold_Loot]

I keep seeing "NSW" as "NSFW"

It drives me crazy.

I'd say it is statistical noise.

Its still selling to just under 40% of new owners. If we still had shipments in the 45K range it would be selling 17K/week. With a full holiday left to hit, I still say it hits 1 mil by its 1 year anniversary.

 

[Fdkn]

I said less than 2x, not 2x less. Also, the last game wasn't Ys Seven, but that doesn't change the point.

 

[thesaucetastic]

The last main entry is Ys 8 on Vita, which this is a late port of. Why are we discounting Celceta again?

 

[The Horror the horror]

Yup, reading comprehension down the dumps. My fault.

 

[mao2]

Shouldn't be surprised by Rev2 since you can just buy an upgrade digitally, but still, disappointing, hoped for 20k.

Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator only sold 17,829 copies on PS4 on its first week, and the digital upgrade is 2,000yen.

 

[Waji]

Looking at these numbers Falcom should either dev on Switch too or just go back with their games having more identity than just copying the directing/style from Sen/CS

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Maybe, but it's a way better abbreviation than NS.

 

[Usobuko]

For shame Japan, ya disappointed on Ys sales.

 

[Mpl90]

But it did pretty well for being a one-year-old port.

This is like the highest selling Ys game on consoles in... ever? (Can't remember what the old console ports did back in the day).

Not quite sure what the argument is here. It's doing well, and they've negotiated a day-and-date Steam port for the west.

 

[ggx2ac]

And better than SW because it's confusing reading that when it usually means Software.

I like SWI personally but NSW works too.

What exactly were your expectations of a late port of a game that was released about a year ago?

So did Gears of War 4 fail to chart?. It should have came out May 25th which gives it three days. I can see the Japanese version on Amazon.co.jp. Is this significant or did everyone expect an Xbox game not to chart?.

 

[CaviarMeths]

Zelda and Nier being leggy as hell is delicious.

Why is 3DS still up YoY?
