Seems like amazon had yet another restock, third day in a row this week.

Another big week coming then?

 

[Zedark]

Another big week coming then?

Could very well be, although keep in mind that 2 of the 3 restocks don't seem very big (one added one sku at 5th place, and another added 3 skus to places 24, 26 and 50, and made one sku jump from 9th to 5th). The top sku must have received new stock as well, though, otherwise it can't have maintained first place for multiple days in a row, so that would indicate that these restocks each were pretty sizeable.

Seems like might have a new baseline with around 50k..."big" week from now on would be +100k again around important software releases.

with all add-ons/episodes/patches ≈ 30GB

Ah yes, that makes sense.

Microsoft should be worried about the sales of Xbox One, and don't think the One X is going to be a life saver either.

Wrong thread?

Wrong thread?

That was my first reaction as well....lol.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

MHXX HD sold out on Amazon, next shipment on Sept 13. Third-party sellers are selling it at a marked up price too (just slighty over MSRP).

Yodobashi has it in stock, nationwide.

And it's not charting on Comgnet's used sales ranking (the 3DS version is #2, behind DQXI for PS4).

I guess people are not selling the bundled copy of the game!

 

[L~A]

Looks like the rumours about the L.A. Noire remaster were true. Out in December in Japan, and yes, on Switch too.

So even Rockstar are supporting a Nintendo handheld more than Level 5 (officially announced support anyway)?

It's the first Switch game announced for December in Japan. Was wondering what we would get.

 

[Nirolak]

They did. Title of the article even emphasizes how much they made, that they were in the Black and that they were successful as a result.

Yes, they raised 236 million yen profit for the period ending on March 2017, compared to 244 million losses in the previous period.

Thanks.

You seem lost.

From the known games Minecraft at retail is a possibility going by past trends. Maybe Nintendo will also give a GOTY Edition of BOTW alongside 2nd DLC Pack but this is less likely.

3DS: 8.07m (+14%)
PS4: 6.44m (+44%)
SWI: 3.32m
PSV: 1.58m (-54%)
WIU: 444k (-71%)
PS3: 147k (-88%)
XB1: 14.2k (-43%)

20 million games sold in 2017, LTD difference between PS4 & PSV now at 500k.

 

[PdotMichael]

PS4 sure doesn't sell software.

 

[lyrick]

Looks like the Switch software gains offset the lost ground of both the Vita and Wii U combined.

PS4 is a software beast.

 

[NintendosBooger]

3DS > PS family. Switch, Wii U...sit this one out for now.

2018 is going to be a bloodbath.

So PS4+Vita is around 8 million both years, with the ratio much more weighted in PS4's favour in 2017. Switch does better than the Wii U, but 2016 was not exactly Wii U's best year either, and of course 2017 wasn't going to be better with or without Zelda. I'm curious if the Switch will be able to eventually reach the level of the 3DS more than whether it can do better than the Wii U, because the Wii U is kind of the lowest possible bar for Nintendo.

Switch would need an actual massive third party support to beat 3ds software wise in Japan imho

Don't know why but I'm cackling. That term has lost all meaning these days on gaf.

As far as I can recall, it was always tongue-in-cheek. : p

I think it caught on when we discovered there was a poster who would repeatedly go into PS4 threads and merely post, "PS4 is a beast." They did this for a multitude of threads, until finally a post in his history (I forget which game the thread was about) revealed a rare declaration: "PS4 is not a beast."

 

[AniHawk]

that 3ds attach rate is console-levels. switch is set to explode next year.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

According to Famitsu, Revelations is 13GB and Revelations 2 is 26GB in size. I guess the cost of carts above 16GB is the reason why Capcom avoided a physical release for the second game.
https://www.famitsu.com/news/201709/07141284.html

26 GB ? Gee. Time to buy a SD Card in order to play Revelations 2, which is something I am not willing to do.

Is the cost of higher capacity cartridges for Switch that high ?

Now I'm crackling again, just visualising that story play out with that punch line. Ah man

Probably is pricey I imagine. But also, it's a $20 game. The margins aren't going to be great, they probably dont wanna lose a big chunk of it on media.

Don't worry, they'll sell tons* of Xbox One S in Japan as an UHD Bluray Player!

*by tons I mean 50

Apparently they don't even manufacture 64GB cards yet.

That'd be really nice for sure. Seems to still not be stable, but they definitely did some efforts in terms of production worldwide.

Finally

 

[FreedomFighter]

Lol. The crawl to one million.

It finally made it. PS4's first million seller.

Edit: Derped hard forgetting DQXI.

 

[Zedark]

Lol. The crawl to one million.

DQXI beat it lol (although FFXV clearly was over 1 million with digital before that).

Well, if we're not counting digital, Dragon Quest XI beat it to the punch in its first week, haha.

Well, if we're not counting digital, it would actually be in its second week.

 

[FreedomFighter]

DQXI beat it lol (although FFXV clearly was over 1 million with digital before that).

Oh damn, how in the world did I forget DQXI lol. I'll edit.

True words. Before edit I had Splatoon beating it by a week to one million but just physical, not digital. But the point is moot anyway since I totally forgot about DQXI.

 

[Jawbreaker]

DQXI beat it lol (although FFXV clearly was over 1 million with digital before that).

Oh, right, it was shy of 1m without digital.

 

[FreedomFighter]

So PS4 has more million sellers (2) than the Switch (1).

 

[LordKano]

The question is more, which Switch game will be the next million seller ? Could Breath of the Wild sell one million before Mario Odyssey ?

No.

 

[Gradivus]

It's either Odyssey or Mario Kart, I'm betting on Odyssey to reach it first.

 

[Oregano]

MK8D would beat BOTW anyway.
