I wonder what exactly COD and Star Wars are going to do for the PS4 numbers.
they both have special edition bundles in japan, so in call of duty week the ps4 may be above 40k, i'd imagine since japan likes the battlefield games the battlefront week may as well be above 40k, not sure though

I'd be surprised if it's ready for launch. Probably sometime during the first year or early in its second.
A "Complete" version of the Wii U game at or near launch wouldn't be too surprising though.

Even ignoring Battlefield as an influencer, I think the Star Wars hype is building pretty well in Japan too. That should be over 40k for sure.
19./26. [PSV] Utawarerumono: Itsuwari no Kamen # <SLG> (Aqua Plus) {2015.09.24} (¥7.344) - 3.715 / 37.687 <80-100%> (+23%)
Interesting, this VN was released two weeks before the anime series started airing which seems to have positive word of mouth and hence the small bump in sales.
Don't these sort of VNs usually come out months after the anime has finished airing?
Or is this a case of the anime being based on the VN rather than the other way around?

The leggiest game on PS platform since forever. It is crazy how it keeps holding on sales.
Speaking of hardware sales, Vita hardware is holding steady, better than last year. 3DS hardware was ahead in the start of the year but has now declined at a much higher rate than Vita. Nothing out of the ordinary to see here though.
I'm really curious to see how will DQ XI perform on PS4.

Its already well over 600k going by Famitsu. Facturing in digital sales it should be hovering around either side of 700k.

Since MH on PSP (budget releases were a lot leggy; even MHP3rd Best Release sold 300k out of a 15k debut).
Gonna say Ghost > BO III > AW.
Ghost sold pretty well, and in Japan, it sold LIKE BO II... And i can't see BO III sell more than BO II.
Splatoon!!! Mah girls!!
MGS4 didn't break a million. It got close though thanks to a budget reprint and a series collection bundle. The vanilla release finished around ~700k.

Was really hoping for at least 80k for 7th Dragon III. :'(
The original game was a VN, this one is a remake and more of a Tactical RPG.
The anime airing and good word of mouth is probably what's giving the title legs, it's surprising though.
Budget releases are always leggy.

The original was an srpg as well.
Both are heavily VNs too.
The first was really good so I'm hoping this hits 100k.

At least it might eventually be able to sell the 120k shipment.

Here's Famitsu's numbers:
7th Dragon (DS) - 81,536 / 137,857
7th Dragon 2020 (PSP) - 113,568 / 168,627
7th Dragon 2020-II (PSP) - 76,949 / 114,353
7th Dragon III (3DS) - 72.411 / NEW
On the bright side, 7th Dragon 2020 also launched around this time, where as the others were in spring, so 7th Dragon III has a shot of doing better than expected, especially if Nintendo`s big gains in the holidays are shared with 7th Dragon III.
WEEK 21
Splatoon = 14,680
Mario Kart = 3,625
Gap = 305%
That's not bad for Dragon Quest.

It opened lower than the 2020 sequel despite being the third mainline game. Not a good result at all. A shame since the game is apparently good judging from the impressions.
Where does that number come from ?
I only remember reading some managerial staff saying the game sold 100k across platforms before we even got the 1st week numbers.

Wasn't the initial announcement 100k shipped and then a few weeks later 120k shipped?
While some will likely be digital sales in that time, would be weird for them to ship more copies when they hadn't sold through the initial batch.

Also I think III is the only one with a demo? So maybe that might help in the long run?
Games not on the chart. Dq heroes, bloodborne, JRPGs, western titles, etc.

Spin-off sensation Yo-kai Watch Busters Red/White has officially surpassed Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Time/Darkness, the best selling Pokémon spin-off to date.

3DS : Yo-Kai Watch Busters: Red Cat Team / White Dog Squad ( Level 5 ) { 2015-07-11 } - 1,569,665 (not including digital sales)

Indeed - it's not so weird for the third mainline entry (marketing-wise, at least) to sell less than previous entries.
Data from past GAF threads.
Well, at least they would be able to sell whatever they shipped.
They are always leggy because they are cheap, and sells to a different audience. Minecraft retail costs 2,592 yen.

The milestone was already achieved a couple of weeks ago considering digital sales, which were over 30k units in July.
That´s because you are comparing two different realities (saleswise). Due to the launch of n3DS last year this was pretty obvious to occur.
2014 mediacreate
3DS
41. 261.873
42. 113.238
PSV
41. 9.298
42. 9.391
This game on it´s own excluding hinted additional versions, due to uncertainities, has a good chance to become the worst selling mainline title in a very long time in Japan.

It's difficult to ignore all the insane Japanese games on the horizon.
Just like at the start of the PS3 gen people purchased the console for games like MGS4, FFXIII, Versus and Killzone despite no release dates.

Wat. Itsuwari no Kamen is NOT a remake.
It's a sequel that takes place some years later. The original game was a VN and an SRPG, and this is the exact same style as that.

MHP3 best out of top30 after 9 weeks (2 months)
MHP3 out of top30 after 35 weeks (8 months)
MHP2G best reprint out of top30 after 49 weeks (11 months) (but first week did not chart)
MHP2G best out of top30 after 58 weeks (14 months)
MHP2G out of top30 after 24 weeks (6 months)
MHP2G best - 58 weeks
MHP2G best reprint - 49 weeks
MH3P - 35 weeks
Minecratf - 31 weeks
MHP2G - 24 weeks
considering Minecraft is priced 2,500yen, yes, you are right considering among games charting up to 30 weeks the only exception is MH3P which was full price
Nothing much notable this week in hardware, WiiU remains flat at pathetic numbers, PS4 continues to slip back down (we're at week 3, where the overall movement should be higher than the would be baseline, of the price cut and are already close to falling back to the old baseline with Bloodborne). 3DS continues to exist with the YoY drop kicking in now fast and hard, as does the Vita.
Meanwhile, software continues to be a disaster everywhere.
Used games, and games below the cut-off of the Top 30.

On that note, it looks like we're trending back toward a 25-30% decline for the overall year, which is about the trajectory that was going on before the New 3DS.
Well, thankfully they're replacing this soon.
