Hmm...
Wonder what that sudden increase is due to?

Wow... That's a... bold prediction...
Sorry, I probably should have clarified I meant Japanese third party games.
So after Taiko or DQXI (which I'm guessing might be holiday 2017, at least for Taiko?), are there any titles that are considered larger games announced?
Why people are so pessimistic about Dragon Quest XI? Pre-orders are bad?

Thatsthejoke.gifIn japan only? I'd say not bold at all.

The same can be said to other 3rd party bombs on Nintendo consoles like Yakuza Collection
I think it's more that DQXI is launching on a tired 3DS and a PS4 that never took off, while DQIX launched on DS when it was still selling like hotcakes. I don't think it will do very well.
Sure, but a console DQ feels pretty hype, kinda like MHW reception so far. Both will do well, though.

What's the excuse for Valkyria Revolution or GR2, then?
Define "well"
SMT V, Tales of something and Project Octopath Traveler.Sorry, I probably should have clarified I meant Japanese third party games.

It will be a drop off from DQ IX, but the revenue will stay about the same.

MH XX should still do ok-ish for what it is.
SMT has been announced.
Tales game is coming

I guess my question would be "Where do we feel the Switch will end up compared to these systems by April 2018?"
2DS XL
Below 3DS above PS4/Vita is my guess. Of course, the bar is really really low (I have PS4 at 1 title- don't think GTA V would count).
Since there was a question of what counts as big, I thought I'd try looking at this from a different angle.
I took the 3DS from its launch through March of the next year (due to how fiscal years work), and came up with the following Japanese third party titles that managed to sell 200K or more.
3DS:
Code:Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask 117,859 / 396,914 One Piece: Unlimited Cruise SP 76,578 / 326,737 Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate [All Versions] 471,055 / 1,929,447 Inazuma Eleven Go: Light / Shadow 141,458 / 455,172 Resident Evil: Revelations [All Versions] 160,575 / 302,965 Harvest Moon: A New Beginning 79,809 / 264,042 Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance 230,189 / 357,790
I repeated this with the PS4 and the Vita.
PS4:
Code:Grand Theft Auto V [All Versions] 73,167 / 501,599 Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below 255,292 / 360,698
Vita:
Code:Persona 4: Golden [All Versions] 152,499 / 345,377 Hatsune Miku: Project Diva f [All Versions] 158,009 / 227,492
The Vita does get an additional three or four months in this comparison, but it doesn't add any games.

I beg you pardon, I'm new to this thread, and tracking sales number in general, so I'd have a question. Between Famitsu and Media Create Sales, which one is considered to be the most reputable source?

Depends how low you want to set the bar. Story of Seasons is pretty big by modern JP standards.

Below 3DS, and probably above PS4 and Vita. The big question regarding third-party Switch games we already know about is, however, when will they come out? Story of Seasons will pretty well on 3DS last year, and I expect a new entry in the series to see similar success on the Switch. But we don't know if that's an 2017 game, Spring 2018 or maybe even later. Same goes for Taiko no Tatsujin, that's already getting a PS4 game this Fall.
MH XX has to be seen due to Capcom's shenanigans around it and MHW.

I do, don't worry Just curious if those bundles affect early preorders.You should keep your MHXX expectations low.
Preorders for MHXX Switch are bad, but how much of that can be attributed to the Switch bundles that were made available? Those probably fly under the radar (for comgnet.com, since that's where we are getting the impression from), so the real situation should be better. It depends on how many bundle they made available, I guess. Don't know what's reasonable to expect here.

We know the game will come out on Switch in Japan on August 25. MHW won't be out until 2018 (probably H2). Of course, Capcom does strange things sometimes, but I don't think they'llup so hard that MHXX Switch won't reach 200k before April 2018. The 3DS game didn't sell as well as previous entries, but 200k is really low for a MH game. Even for a late port. Even for XX.fuck
Aside from Dragon Quest (and maybe Pokémon but I'm starting to have my doubts) what games are coming out this year that will likely outperform Splatoon 2? Because thinking back at it, I feel like I underestimate just how big this game is going to be in Japan.

This was kind of the thing I was noting back before the unveil.
On the one hand, the 3DS started getting real third party support about 9 months into its life.
Both the PS4 and Vita took much closer to 18 months to truly get support in the door, and given the development requirements of the Switch are way more like those systems than the 3DS... and that's also true for general Japanese publisher enthusiasm toward the system... I get the impression that we might actually be waiting for years before we can really see what major Japanese third party games do on the platform.
You also left off that we don't actually know what the games are either. Like a port of Berseria is a very different proposition to a new title.
My guess is a brand-new title, releasing for both PS4 and Switch. I will be disappointed if it turns out to be a smaller game like the ones we've seen on Vita and 3DS (aside from Tales of the Abyss ofc). I think it's been too long since the original release of Berseria for a port.
Media Create is used as the leading tracker. Neither are perfect, of course, and the truth could very well be in the middle somewhere.
I like famitsu because I feel like generally you end up getting more complete data. As far as what is more accurate-I dunno. I think for the most part they end up leveling out.
