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

DQ8 is holding sorta well, usual second week drop.
 
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).

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..
 
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?
 

Aostia

El Capitan Todd
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.

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.

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?

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

Also people worried about MGS5 legs, wait till MGO drops.
 
Huge bump for PS4, and great MGSV sales. Crazy how one of the biggest releases of the year did nothing for Xbox One though.

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
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?
