Indeed.Pokken came out in arcades quite a while ago, but unfortunately it wasn't really successful.
February there is Street Fighter V!
Okay so looking back to the PS3:
Street Fighter IV: 84,937 / 157,704
Super Street Fighter IV: 80,103 / 159,558
This doesn't strike meas a particularly large title.
The next big one for PS4 is definitely Star Ocean 5.
There is also Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 4!!! Isnt it February? These games sell very well, dont they?
Well, I think it will drive a healthy amount of hardware at least for its launch week. Lets be optimistic haha
There is also Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 4!!! Isnt it February? These games sell very well, dont they?
Not really, I think 50-70k FW.

With more than 12 million NARUTO SHIPPUDEN™: Ultimate Ninja® STORM games sold worldwide
Just wondering, what in specific do you find interesting with it?01./00. [PS3] Dragon Quest Heroes <RPG> (Square Enix) {2015.02.26} (¥7.344) - 325.446 / NEW <92,25%>

Interesting to see a Minecraft clone, having a considerably worse debut than a Dynasty Warrior clone, considering the latter genre declined quite a lot in the past years, while Minecraft got very popular. And the fact that there akready is an already somewhat established Dragon Quest niche due to last years release.
Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm: 45,959 / 88,455
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2: 68,578 / 117,658
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations: 68,372 / 110,244
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3: 84,140 / 137,343
They overwhelmingly sell in the West.
The west really drives it then, considering they are million sellers
North America and Europe account for most of this, with respectively 4.3 million and 3.8 million. Japan and Asia account for 1.9 million.
No reason to not combine them. The double pack simply contains two copies of the exact same game, so Soul Sacrifice sold about 136k first week.Technically, Soul Sacrifice did as well if you combine the two SKU's:
[PSV] Soul Sacrifice # <ACT> (Sony Computer Entertainment) {2013.03.07} (¥5.980) - 92.396 / NEW
[PSV] Soul Sacrifice: "United Front" Double Pack <ACT> (Sony Computer Entertainment) {2013.03.07} (¥7.980) - 22.050 / NEW
Actually, DS3 is March in Japan.April is also Dark Souls 3! But yeah, Uncharted 4 should be big too, even if its not japanese!
shipped 140k ?
anyway, despite the terrible word of mouth and the heavily price drop it's still charting, and probably last week performance is related to the last patch released

It looks like Koei Tecmo has decided to throw some money behind Toukiden 2 and make a title that looks like it came out this decade:

I imagine they will be giving it a reasonable push.
Oh my god~!It looks like Koei Tecmo has decided to throw some money behind Toukiden 2 and make a title that looks like it came out this decade:

That's probably their first title to do so.It looks like Koei Tecmo has decided to throw some money behind Toukiden 2 and make a title that looks like it came out this decade:

Odds of this coming west?
Koei Tecmo even brings things like Arslan Musou over, so it assuredly is.
I think Oregano is right that it's made at least partially with the Western audience in mind given it's now an open world title to boot.
As we can see with Naruto and Street Fighter above, it's not necessarily the worst strategy in the universe.
Sorry, I edited too slowly.
This is true. They're over 12 million worldwide now.
Back when they were 10 million, the breakdown was as follows: http://andriasang.com/comzmu/naruto_shipments/
Given the numbers, the rest of Asia is bigger than Japan as well.

Slight difference: Toukiden bombed in the West and the genre is not much popular outside MH. SF and Naruto are well-established properties in Western countries.
Theatrhythm: Dragon Quest only debuted at 77K.
Sony/DQB domination
Wii U below 10k and Splatoon out of the top 10(still impressive sales).
I think it is more to pull what they can from the west and build the franchise. Toukiden isn't even well established in Japan.Slight difference: Toukiden bombed in the West and the genre is not much popular outside MH. SF and Naruto are well-established properties in Western countries.

Did SFIV have like zero pre-orders less than two weeks from launch on our relevant trackers? The current non-existence of SFV is, even for the openings you quote, not what I would expect.
Actually, DS3 is March in Japan.
Games that could make a dent on PS4 for the foreseeable future:
February :
Naruto UNS 4
Valkyria Chronicles
Street Fighter V
Attack on Titan
March :
Gundam Breaker 3
Dark Souls 3
Star Ocean 5
April :
Uncharted 4
May :
Dragon Quest Heroes 2
Edit: and I do mean "make a dent", I don't know how many of these will open at 100k+. I guess DS3 and DQH2 will, no idea about the rest.
