Media Create Sales: Week 35, 2015 (Aug 24 - Aug 30)

 

[itchyass86]

Japan loves Quiet I see.

PS - Splatoooooooonnnnn!!

 

[miku]

 

[kuroneko0509]

splatoon is sub-20k for the 1st time

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Xbox One gets that MGSV bump! Dang!

7% increase.

 

[Kanann]

Can phantom legs happen?

 

[L~A]

No surprise for MGS5 (sales and split, and PS4 sales too).

DQ8 is holding sorta well, usual second week drop.

 

[phanphare]

splatoon is sub-20k for the 1st time

also out of the top 5 for the first time iirc

 

[Loris146]

Switch between old gen and current is almost complete eheh. 54k is not bad for PS4.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Wow, that PS4 bump is pretty nice.

 

[crinale]

I thought there were 2 more versions of MGS5..

 

[GhostTrick]

So.. 410k for MGSV in Japan. As a comparison point, MGS4 did 470k on first week.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Xbox One gets that MGSV bump! Dang!

/dead.

 

[Zalman]

Metal Gear doing some work there. Good week for Sony.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Xbox One gets that MGSV bump! Dang!

Damn its so dead.

 

[Pennywise83]

04./03. [3DS] Yo-Kai Watch Busters: Red Cat Team / White Dog Squad <ACT> (Level 5) {2015.07.11} (¥4.968) - 49.542 / 1.450.344 (+1%)

Merchandising might be fading but this spin-off is holding quite well, surely more than expected (it's not holiday season, after all).

 

[frankie_baby]

I thought there were 2 more versions of MGS5..

Special editions aren't counted separately

 

[crinale]

Special editions aren't counted separately

I meant two more console versions, like.. you know.

 

[Exile20]

also out of the top 5 for the first time iirc

It took MGS taking up two spots for that to happen. I am okay with that.

Splatoon is doing great man. Such an awesome game.

 

[Hanmik]

So MGS V did not boost sales for Xbox One..

12 more units..

BUT.. it boosted sales for the Playstation 3.

246 more units..

damn..

 

[BronzeWolf]

XBOX One is only selling to Journalists and Developers xD

Splatoon Legs!

Good opening for MGSV and nice PS4 lower than most optimistic and higher than most pessimistic.

Mario Maker is next week right?

 

[The Cool One]

And so it begins!
Hoping splatoon continues to be in the top 10 (top 5 really) & metal gear solid 5 walks on its bipedal lefs

 

[Aostia]

very solid debut for MGSV, but still below MGS4 debut (going back in the archive I've found 465k. here we have a total around 411k). Good bump for PS4, very solid, even if lower than the bum that the (escluvise) MGSIV game to PS3 back in the days (75k), also because home consoles imho are weaker in Japan nowadays.
Good hold for 3DS, DQ8 and YW Busters.

Splatoon and, consequently, Wii U starts to feel the "fatigue" of the "old" Splatoon release, I see.

 

[Escalario]

So MGS5 sells less on 2 platforms than MGS4 on 1.

 

[giancarlo123x]

I'm literally surprised the ps4 version sold double, is Japan slowly transitioning finally?

Whyyyy

 

[Jamix012]

That's...lower than I thought for MGS V, and about what I expected for the PS4 hardware.

Edit: Wait, Famitsu is better than I expected. Now I don't know what to think.

 

[astrogamer]

I meant two more console versions, like.. you know.

But the Wii U, 3DS nor the Vita didn't get Metal Gear Solid V

 

[Zalman]

Animal Crossing will reach a million next week.

 

[sense]

famitsu and MC sales difference is like 60k for mgsv!

 

[deleted]

MGS Japan Fanbase is very consistent. IIRC MGS4 launched around 400k too?! Seems that most of them already bought a PS4 though. Wasn't there a crazy PS3 bump when MGS4 came out?

 

[frankie_baby]

I know

 

[DaSorcerer7]

That's lower than expected for MGSV.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Very strong Sales for PS4.
MGS Sold good as well.

 

[Loris146]

famitsu and MC sales difference is like 60k for mgsv!

Yeah, insane.

 

[leatherhat]

Big sales disparity between famitsu and MC for Metal gear.

 

[Tizoc]

So MGS5 sells less on 2 platforms than MGS4 on 1.

That was then, this is now. Console gaming in Japan right now isn't like what it was during PS2 and early PS3 era.
Furthermore are you talking about total sales or initial sales?

 

[KillerMan91]

MC:

MGSV PS4: 293.652
MGSV PS3: 117.547

Total: 411k

Famitsu:

MGSV PS4: 315.288
MGSV PS3: 157.605

Total: 473k

Quite big difference. Regarding of PS4 hw both agree at least.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

That full Famicom Remix title is amazing. I especially love the inclusion of Mike Tyson lol

 

[Stone Ocean]

Huh, didn't expect the PS4 version doubling the PS3 version at all

Also people worried about MGS5 legs, wait till MGO drops.

 

[jmaine_ph]

Good numbers for PS4 and MGS V

 

[small44]

A bit disappointed by PS4 boost i expected 45k boost

 

[Aostia]

MC:

MGSV PS4: 293.652
MGSV PS3: 117.547

Total: 411k

Famitsu:

MGSV PS4: 315.288
MGSV PS3: 157.605

Total: 473k

Quite big difference. Regarding of PS4 hw both agree at least.

Did MC lost track of the PS3 special edition?

 

[BronzeWolf]

Will MGSV get legs?

 

[Exile20]

Super mario maker will boost Splatoon numbers.

 

[viHuGi]

Great numbers for MGS V !

Ps4 great sales!

 

[Pankratous]

Huge bump for PS4, and great MGSV sales. Crazy how one of the biggest releases of the year did nothing for Xbox One though.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Splatoon dropping below 20k for the first time. I'm actually surprised.

 

[crinale]

Will MGSV get legs?

The next shipment is like mid-Sept so I don't know.. At least there are some left on the market.

 

[Mpl90]

About MGSV's debut: yeah, it's lower than MGS4, but let's not forget that there are digital sales not counted here (like for most of the games in chart). Pretty good debut, great PS4 increase (despite not as high as PS3 did back when MGS4 came out), I wonder what kind of trend it'll have in the next few weeks.

Also, DQVIII's second week for Famitsu > MC, again. Maybe it really is the difference made by download cards (still without ignoring the different amounts of stores tracked)?

EDIT: Uhm...what happened with MGSV for Famitsu? HUGE difference, especially for PS3 (strangely enough). Did MC really forget to track collector's editions? Did the game have download cards?
