As I commented last page, Santy Shop is not doing lotteries this week, but it seems this situation is not replicated at other small stores. In fact, other litlle shops are doing lotteries for Sunday 13th, and are receiving requests for numbers until today. Splatoon 2 bundle seems the main SKU that is selling through. So that plus Obon, should affect tremendously the game.

Nintendo 2DS is very popular, especially the orange color. So it's expected a great hold for the handheld this week. Leggy games gonna be the main popular products this weekend. Minecraft PSVita, and DQXI for 3DS are expected to sell to the casual crowd.

They delayed the mobile version again from December to a general 2018 window.

Wow, I remember how the mobile version was more of a big deal because they were using toys like Amiibo attached to keychains or whatever that give you gear.

And that was back in 2015...

Disgaea 5 Complete tops 100,000 sales worldwide, thanks for nothing Japan. Looks like there was an error from MCV because they were reporting 114K preorders across USA and Europe back then.

That error didn't come from MCV themselves that came from NIS America president and they reported on it.

Edit - looking at the pdf it states that it "successfully sold over 100k domestic and worldwide" there's always the potential that they're only reporting on solid milestones like 50k, 100k, 150k etc

In other words they didn't reach the 200k milestone or whatever it was. Third party failure. Watch all companies avoiding Switch from now.

Very impressive...+100k for a port is a big deal for NIS.
Wonder how much it will reach lifetime - Switch is stil fighting shortages and it doesnt seem like there will be much competition for this type of game on that system anytime soon.

Doh, should've checked here first before bumping that other thread.

He seemed pretty keen on providing the 36k and 78k figures, but I guess they could just be using round numbers, lol.

What kind of expectations did Capcom have for Monster Hunter Stories again?

I'm playing the western-release demo and it has a ridiculous amount of content for a demo, someone said the demo was 6 hours long in total.

I can see the game has an LTD of ~328k sales in Japan. (I don't know which tracker)

I didn't find any forecasts from Capcom for it but the fact that they made an anime to promote the game and that it even had an Amiibo line means they must have expected some good sales.

From what I was remembering back then, they expected much better sales than that considering the demographic they were pushing for.

Capcom never provided any sales target for this game, implying they never expected to sell at least 1m. But given the big push with the anime, it's clear they expected more than what the game ended up doing. It's clearly no Gaist Crusher-level bomba, at least.

Game Data Library only has Famitsu data, so 328k is Famitsu.

Very good results for NIS by the way, they have a 1,4 million dollars profit for the April-June quarter compared to a loss of 84,559 dollars the year before.

Since Media Create won't provide first day sell-through info for Thursday these were the results at gamesmaya for new releases.

1. [3DS] The Snack World: TreJarers
2. [PS4] Hitman: The Complete First Season
3. [PS4] Mega Man Legacy Collection 2

Low numbers under Snack World.

As for older games

[3DS] Dragon Quest XI > [NSW] Splatoon 2 > [PS4] Dragon Quest XI.

These are the main titles that drive hardware through summer holidays.

Thanks for the pictures as always, horuhe. Much appreciated.

I'm really interested to see how much DQXI and Splatoon 2 benefit from the holidays. I imagine 2DS hardware will see a nice increase. Switch of course entirely depends on stock, but it'd be fantastic if Nintendo provided 100k.

So we are either looking at a huge fall for DQps4 or a huge boost for the squids, or perhaps a bit of both

with the huge splatoon 2 bundle ratio, splatoon 2 it appears sales are going to be dependent on stock for a while.

But aside a very short stint on SFC they never were on console.
Click to expand...

If you want to be pedantic, you should put an "exclusively" somewhere into your sentence. :p After all, all three Sky games were ported to PS3 and Cold Steel 1 and 2 released simultaneously on both PS3 and Vita. Saying the games were "never on console" is flat out wrong.

Disregarding that whether or not the games were on consoles before has nothing to do with my point, I used "going back" in the wrong way though. I didn't mean to say that the Trails games used to be on consoles before, but something along the lines of the series moving somewhat backwards to a less popular platform format. Which I don't think is much of an issue in this case, because the Trails games cater to the kind of core audience that isn't going to stop buying the games just because they aren't on a handheld anymore.

Not for the original releases (which I thought we are talking about here). Once you include ports it's muddied with the mass of licensed versions that always existed on consoles as well.

I'll take that. ;)

Personally I still think wrt the Japanese market Falcom is making a mistake completely leaving the portable audience, but I'm told the Sony-driven Asian market more than makes that up.

Falcom also did a couple PCE games themselves (Kaze no Densetsu Xanadu 1-2) along with their SFC stuff (Ys V, Popful Mail). It was weird period while Japan in general from transitioning from the diverse landscape of different national computer platforms to Windows. Many other remaining computer devs got fully into consoles with 3DO, Saturn and PS1 like Microcabin, Exact, Kojima's team, etc.

How do you know they are leaving the portable market? Maybe some day they will release something on Switch, maybe not, we need to wait and see. It's six month old machine, I wouldn't expect anything anmounced from Falcom. As for PSV, not everything can run it. Falcom had to cut CS in half to make it work on PSV. I do think they shouldn't abandon PC though.

Well the fact that Falcom never really tries on other platform other than Sony, and we know there will not be Vita 2, can't we said that Falcom probably will move away from portable actually?

Sounds like Japanese YouTubers are either reselling Switches or are giving them away in an effort to get more viewers. Basically, they're like scalping, but they also have big audiences that they can take advantage of. I guess the writer of the article is of the opinion that doing so is scummy.

Idk how I feel about it personally, the former is terrible, but the latter is perfectly fine imo, so I guess I'm just glad the Switch still has all this buzz around it for this to be happening, although I wouldn't know if this kinda thing is a regular occurrence with other consoles.
