Nice results for 7th Dragon III code:VFD, it seems. Then again, was expecting a drop compared to the previous one (@ message just above).
lowereredexpectations.gif

And "ok, why not" to Splatoon and Wii U sales both up.

even less than 2020-II for Code:VFD :(
hopefully Niinou & Kodama will still continue the series

Didn't they confirm it'd be the last one?
 
15./09. [3DS] Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash # <ACT> (Nintendo) {2015.10.08} (¥5.076) - 7.339 / 21.436 (-48%)

The opening was quite bad but wow at the WOW decrease. Is the amiibo toy helping?

17./18. [3DS] Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King <RPG> (Square Enix) {2015.08.27} (¥6.458) - 5.304 / 796.835 (-11%)

DQVIII is holding really well.
 
Vita actually starting to see gains compared to last year. The power of Minecraft. Splatoon continuing to show its strong legs and PS4 also still over 25k. It needs new software soon though.

Jesus, forgot today was Media Create thread, damn you NPD!

...Well, nothing to say. PS4 is still selling well, and a bit over what i expect, Wii U up compared to last week. Looks like will remain >10k for all 2015 at this point.

Also, Splatoon increase compared to last week!? Amazing. :D

Good week.
 
That's the first Neptunia game on Vita that's sold below the usual 25-35k FW. Disappointing result.

Kinda disappointing for 7th Dragon too, given all the stuff I was reading about it. Isn't that about on par with 2020-II? Not a disaster, but I was expecting a bit more.

Otherwise, ehh. Hardware is what you'd expect. Any reason for the minor Splatoon and Minecraft bumps?

everything is up from last week except for the ps4, decent week. glad to see the ps4 and wii u hold


edit: drake collection didn't drop as heavily as other triple a ps4 games this year so that's something

Niinou is directing Dragon Quest Builders. He's been working at Square Enix for a few years now.

Sega also said VFD would be the last entry in the series, but we all know how much weight comments like that carry.

Vita actually starting to see gains compared to last year. The power of Minecraft. Splatoon continuing to show its strong legs and PS4 also still over 25k. It needs new software soon though.

Strong legs? It has strong claws to be back at 5.

I'm surprised Wii U has maintained itself above 10K for another week. I guess Splatoon/SMM are enough to keep it in a respectable position until the Holidays.

PS4 also slightly outperformed my expectations. I though it might be sub 25K this week.

The chart is still depressing to look at after 6th place - games with sub 5K sales making it into the top 20.
 
It's impressive how much YWB keeps selling - I wonder how much it will increase its weekly baseline as we approach the holiday season.

What's the next notable release for PS4?

This week NBA 2K16 is kind of a mid-level release (shared with PS3). Also God Eater Resurrection, which might be big, but probably also mid-level since it's shared with Vita.

Lego Jurassic World and Call of Duty Black Ops 3 in early November. Insert token:
Post A: "But Japan hates shooters?"
Post B: "But Call of Duty has charted well for years."
Just to get that out of the way ^^;

Also Gravity Rush remaster on December 10.

Japan slowly embracing console gaming again

I wonder if a new Splatoon or Splatoon remake is already in the works for NX

Splatoon won't leave the top 10 this year.

Edit: now waiting for the Splatoon Winter expansion (with retail re-release) with new solo campaign dlc + modes & stages :]

October is the slowest month typically for Japan. This is pretty OK actually. Check any other year and you'll be hard pressed to find one that has all games above 5k in the top 20.

EDIT: OK except when Pokemon/MH come out during October haha, then it isn't the slowest.

Should mention Monday was a holiday, so that's why sales are slightly up for several Nintendo games.
