Will MGSV get legs?
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.
So MGS5 sells less on 2 platforms than MGS4 on 1.
Super mario maker will boost Splatoon numbers.

How was MGSIV Legs?
i don´t believe it will have good legs (like every PS4/3 release till today)
Not in Famitsu lol
The numbers are surprisingly consistant considering the state of console gaming in Japan now compared to 7 years ago.
Burning money to grab a couple thousand more units down is a waste of time. It's better for MS to just let Japan go permanentlyIt's kind of weird that Xbox One still seems to be so expensive. You'd think that with these numbers after this long they'd be out there at fire sale prices.
I'm literally surprised the ps4 version sold double, is Japan slowly transitioning finally?
Yes but we are looking at a Base which is:
MGSIV only PS3 (was it 2 or 3 mil base)
vs.
MGSV complete PS3 Base + (-) PS4 Base (over 12 mil)
So.. 410k for MGSV in Japan. As a comparison point, MGS4 did 470k on first week.
Huge chunk of that PS3 base is not active anymore.

So according to Media Create, MGS5 on two systems (PS3+PS4) had a worse debut than MGS4 just on PS3? And rathly the same by Famitsu numbers?
I haven't been following Japanese sales for a while. Have to say that I'm surprised that MGSV on PS4 outsold the PS3 version there. What's the next big cross-gen game in Japan? Persona?

MediaCreate:
01./01. [3DS] Dragon Quest VII: Fighters of Eden <RPG> (Square Enix) {2013.02.07} (¥6.090) - 184.993 / 1.012.916 (-78%)
03./01. [3DS] Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King <RPG> (Square Enix) {2015.08.27} (¥6.458) - 106.823 / 691.539 (-82%)
A pretty similar drop in the second week, but way smaller numbers overall. I'd say it was pretty evident for many reasons, but still...good numbers but not great.
still less... famitsu mgs4 numbers are 476,334 compared to mgs5 which are 472,893 (ps3+4)
DQH2, I guess?I haven't been following Japanese sales for a while. Have to say that I'm surprised that MGSV on PS4 outsold the PS3 version there. What's the next big cross-gen game in Japan? Persona?
I have to say, it's pretty heartening to see that Japanese consumers are slowly but surely converting to the current gen, based on those MGSV sales of both platforms. Maybe it won't be long now until Japanese publishers feel they can completely abandon the PS3/cross-gen and focus entirely on the PS4 with their games.
Yeah I knew numbers would be a bit smaller but ratio seems to be consistent. Thank you.
Does it matter when there are no figures for digital?still less... famitsu mgs4 numbers are 476,334 compared to mgs5 which are 472,893 (ps3+4)
