Battle of the titan.

Silver Week will probably give a small momentary jump next week, but September (and October) are really very slow periods in Japan.

Big difference for Super Mario Maker.

Famitsu - 83.572 (-42%)

PS4 sells half of what it did the previoys week, XB1 sells nearly 4 times as much as the previous week.

Digital sales.

Neither number includes digital.

Famitsu superior tracker confirmed,

 

[Tripon]

Neither number includes digital.

Famitsu doesn't include digital?

 

[The_lascar]

Only for the monthly top 30.
But the download cards can make the difference.

 

[Ōkami]

Famitsu doesn't include digital?

No, they release digital estimates once per month, but digital isn't included on the weekly.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Puzzle& dragons at 50 million downloads worldwide.

 

[Pennywise83]

Famitsu:

YW Busters: 39.2k / 1471k
Splatoon: 19.4k / 690k

 

[Aostia]

No, they release digital estimates once per month, but digital isn't included on the weekly.

Download cards sold at retail are included in Famitsu, on the other hand. Not saying that this is the reason of the gap in this very case, btw.

Sorry, i don't see the numbers, can you say how much sold Splatoon in Media Create?
( for unit )

 

[Kresnik258]

I can't tell if that's good or not for Vita. On the one hand it's up a fair bit on the back of colours and a load of games which appeal to the existing fanbase, but on the flip side I was expecting a little more.

Wonder if the trickle of software we're getting over the coming weeks will keep it level.

 

[Eolz]

No new thread?
Good software holds for everyone imo.

Splatoon finally over Mario Kart?

I don't actually know the url to get MC rankings Famitsu is http://www.famitsu.com/biz/ranking/

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Splatoon finally over Mario Kart?

Yes for Famitsu.
For Media Create, probabily one week to go...

I don't actually know the url to get MC rankings Famitsu is http://www.famitsu.com/biz/ranking/

I wanna update my Splatoon VS Mario Kart graph.

 

[Nirolak]

1.) Monster Strike
2.) Dragon Quest Monsters: Super Light
3.) Final Fantasy: Record Keeper
4.) Puzzle & Dragons

You might have to log in to get non-delayed charts.

You can hover over the links to get most names in English in the chart, but you have to click on quite a few to get readable English instead of English versions of Katakana.

 

[Pennywise83]

It might be useful to write the chart in the English language as well (even though one can safely guess what are those games: Monster Striker, DQM Super Light, FF and Puzzle & Dragons) and post the source, thanks.

 

[Nirolak]

Good point! Fixed.

That said, as a side note, I suspect a fair share of this is the direction P&D is heading instead of huge surges in what these titles make during events.

Splatoon 16,772 unit in Media Create. Here we go

 

[Fisico]

No, AA5 didn't have one, and neither AAT had one (it was already sold at a budget price after all). Budget releases are going to affect newer properties (as DGS can be seen) because the fanbase might reluctant to jump to a spin-off at full price - or they sell well when there's some cross-media promotion (e.g. anime). We have also to remember that the game was highly supply constrained shortly after the launch and this of course had an effect on sales.

I'm not as optimistic as you are for the budget rerelease but fair point.

However the supply constraint argument is getting old and only worked for a few weeks after release, any person who wanted to buy the game one way or another (retail, digital or used market) had more than enough time to do so by now (eg. the high digital ratio for August)
If there really was a huge stock problem we should have seen a spike in sales by now as new shipments hit the shelves (in fact you could say the 6th week "hold" may be because of that), and yet sales are dropping at the usual pace

Media Create numbers

2nd week: -82%
3rd week: -60%
4th week: -36%
5th week: -35%
6th week: -1%
7th week: -50%
8th week: from rank 19 to 29
9th week from rank 29 to 35
10th week: from rank 35 to 38

For 11th week Dengeki don't have it in top 50 (it was 43 in 10th week)

That maybe anecdotal too, but the game price didn't skyrocket or anything whether for new or used copies (~4.000-4.500yens) for what I saw in stores in various cities at the end of August/early September (which would be 9th and 10th week).
