3DS slaying as usual. MH4G is crazy.

Surprised by:

15./10. [3DS] Dragon Quest X Online <RPG> (Square Enix) {2014.09.04} (¥4.104) - 2.676 / 111.276 (-19%)

Also, the bomba bins welcome:

11./04. [PSV] Chaos Ring III: Prequel Trilogy <RPG> (Square Enix) {2014.10.16} (¥5.184) - 6.967 / 19.402 (-44%)

Good hold for MH4 and the N3DS.

Youkai Watch 2's drop is surprising, but I guess people are just going to wait for the expanded version now.

It needs to sell 23 757 units/week to reach 3m before the end of the year.
Roughly 30k/ week to do so before YW2.5.

Wii U about to break some records until the bundles are released (Nov. 13).

In other news, the 3DS has sold over 2m in 2014 alone, yay!

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
Did New 3DS get an update in Japan, recently? Asking because it seems to be very stable compared to last week.

That's a pretty poor initial outting for a Tales game, especially with the 3DS LTD, no?

Sad to see no real bump for PS4. XB1, I don't really know what to say, but man, 360 sold gangbusters compared to this thing.

WiiU noooo. Better week for Sony hardware, but still meh.

Good numbers for Evil Within, expected more for Tales of.
 
Seems Mario Kart will fall just short of reaching 700k before the bundles drop. The New 3DS seems to be doing really well. I have no idea how the Wii U will do this holiday. It seems like Smash should make it have a better holiday than last year, but it also could not do that great at all.
 
That's a pretty poor initial outting for a Tales game, especially with the 3DS LTD, no?

Sad to see no real bump for PS4. XB1, I don't really know what to say, but man, 360 sold gangbusters compared to this thing.

It's a half-assed porting of a mobile game. It outsold the first week of Innocence R and Hearts R on PSV according to Famitsu.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.

Not a real Tales game. Merely a spin-off or "Escort" title.
When Zesteria comes out, the sales will be high.

Not promising that ps3 and ps4 sales for psycho break are statistically indistinguishable.

I also see that the publisher expected quite higher numbers for the PS4 edition with only 40-60% of initial shipment sold.

Chaos rings... what a failure.

It's the port of a pretty uninspired and bland SRPG already available on smartphones. Surprised it almost sold 50k FW, tbh.

Because of this, I'm actually surprised to see negative comments about its sales (the guy who said they should go PS-only with the series in the old thread for instance), considering it outsold the remakes on Vita, even though this is just a port of a spin-off...

You know, that seems like a pretty decent baseline for PS4 all things considered.

Considering a new game has just released this weak to some success, I'm not sure the word "baseline" is the correct one here.

Even if it was a baseline, it'd be an awful baseline. But there was a game release, so it's probably not a baseline. I don't really know why there's a tendency to prematurely ascribe the term baseline.

It looks like the Evil Within did really well in both Japan and Europe. Really happy with that. Hopefully this means we can get another Mikami horror entry/ a sequel. Preferably not on ID tech 5.

Tales should probably just stick to PlayStation consoles with ports/spinoffs to Nintendo handhelds at this point. Namco had a really good opportunity to transition to handhelds full stop with PSP but they blew it.

Famitsu:
Wii U 3385

Jesus Christ. By far Wii U's worst week and a number that not even PS4/PSV have ever hit. Even PS3 took almost 8 years to do numbers worse than this and it was only for 1 week!

And mobile port 3DS Tales game outsold the two Vita Tales games...
 
Okay, Famitsu comparisons for 3DS and Vita Tales games:

3DS Tales of the World: Reve Unitia - 53,903 / ?
3DS Tales of the Abyss - 68,218 / 149,669
Vita Tales of Innocence R - 47,312 / 57,838
Vita Tales of Hearts R - 48,178 / 73,324

Edit: Fixed Abyss' LTD. :)

The over time the variation seems to hover around 8k.

I will do a proper time-series analysis when I have the time to predict it's sales pattern in the coming weeks. Will probably be a depressing result.
 
Unitia sold ok, but we all know ok is not enough. It will probably be the last Tales of game for the 3DS.

But then again, Abyss 3DS was a success (not just in Japan, but worldwide!) and all we got was a reductive Japan exclusive mobile port.

Whenever Namco feels like developing a new mainline game, it will be for a Sony home console, so it's not like we are missing much.

Very outdated, Abyss 3DS is over 150k in Japan.

Would have much prefered the Vita games myself tbh, although Tales of Abyss did great for a port.

Big drop for Youkai Watch 2 :eek:

When is the MK8+Wii U bundle out? Wii U may reach 1K at this rate if the bundle is not out soon.

Edit: Answered with L-A post, thanks! :D

how the hell did S Tales of the World: Reve Unitia sold so much ?

Its already near Tales of Innocence R total sales.

:/ i want more tales of on 3DS but not this shitty spinoff:(
 
Time for mothership to move to n3ds

joking aside I wouldn't be at all surprised if that happened post Zestria

Last generation there was somethin between mainline entries and cheap spin-offs; that is, mid-sized production budget spin-offs, or sequels, that ended up on Wii or PSP. It should be time to do something like that on 3DS.
