Is 93 poor for that game?
I think so, but I'm not too familiar with shopping habits of those games.
Here's sales of first game:

A seemingly nice second week for CoD. Hopefully the legs remain stable.

Project X-Flop 2: Brave New Bomba on COMGnet.
CoD has a good hold.
Splatoon bundle doesn't seem to be doing all that amazing, we'll see.

Splatoon bundle is not tracked at this Software chart. It won't be on Tsutaya's either.
Anyway, I'm just execting a 10k boost, for hardware and for Splatoon Software overall.

*The Splatoon Wii U Bundle was the best selling console of the week, but there is not too much difference compared to PS4 sales. This is according to Rakuten Books, where there are Rakuten-only related sales. In the main site, the bundle sold by Bic Camera was far more popular. Splatoon amiibo also sold very well, and it's between the fifth and the sixth place, but they are not out of stock. So, the situation was stabilized, at least in terms of running out of stock from the first days.
In Shibuya TSUTAYA, they are pushing the last reservations. Two weeks only for the release of Monster Hunter X.

So, DQH did ~31K in the US according to cream....
...and why Are You talking about that here?
Due to the discussion on the last page I'm guessing.
...and why Are You talking about that here?
There was a discusion between pennywise and darklordmalik
Well, i feel DQ7 and 8 is going to be able to pass that number easily here.^~^

Hey! US discussion slips in here from time to time....and why Are You talking about that here?
It was just to add more perspective to any DQ discussion.
D5 did relatively well.
Zestiria and DQH did not.
Going to be curious to see how the 3DS RPGs perform in the near future, but I have a suspicion that the jRPG market isn't on home consoles in the US.
How many good Japanese games have been released in the US? The audience has been built on COD and co so not a surprise the audience leans towards western games.
I dont really remember here but coreect me if I am wrong here. Dont nippon ichi hope that d5 to sell more on the west here? After the jp sales not doing that hot?
It is going to be interesting to see whether next year 3ds rpg is going to do much better vs jrpg release on ps4.
Bravely second, fe fates, dq7,8, shin megami tensei 4 final all had huge chances of doing really well.
PxZ real test is going to be the west. It sold most of its copies there.^~^
Nintendo did a stout job advertising BD:FF in the US. I saw one or two commercials for it each week for a month surrounding the launch.
In the NPD thread I questioned whether or not we were sure DQ XI PS4 would outsell the 3DS version. It would be awkward if the 3DS version ended up doing better seeing how we thought the PS4 version existed for the west. From what I can tell the only thing we know is that the 3DS is the only system in the west that has an established audience for JRPGs, though FF XV will hopefully change that.
Project X Zone... is that falling into the same too safe sequel problem Bravely Second fell into that Fire Emblem If avoided?

Maybe this Call of Duty will have better legs that other subtitled versions, since their legs were cut off by the release of the dubbed version, that doesn't exist this time.
True 8)
Rakuten seems very Nintenfo biased, and also the less accurate shop that we post here.
the only thing we can be sure is that the price will be higher than the last bundle (Splatoon), which was higher than the previous bundle (Mario Maker), which was higher than the previous bundle, which was higher than the previous bundle... and so on

Yes, it is. Noticed some weeks ago when saw some games that shouldn't be there. But it is, by far, the largest e-commerce site in Japan, so I thought it shouldn't be ignored.

PxZ was very ripetitive and probably also frontloaded, I remember some shops last year still trying to sell it into the "basket of the damned" and I still regret I didn't buy the limited edition (used, of course) 2 years ago for less than $10 -_-
so yes, it might have the same problems Bravely had (latest dungeons were so so iirc)

Golden Week is the biggest one, you see a lot of publishers structure game releases to coincide with it. Obon is also probably pretty important.

DQH's opening for NPD was in the same ballpark as some of the mainline DQ. Perhaps, SE's expectations are not lofty? I do think DQ11 can put up respectable numbers in the west (relative to the performance of past DQ titles) with the right promo and what not.
To keep perspective, DQIV/V DS were so bad SE dropped publishing the franchise right before IX. I don't think those Heroes numbers are what they'd consider fine.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Wow, the superior DQ(V) got lower sales than IV and VI. :/
Though how did the spinoffs do namely DQM, DQM2, DQJ, and DQJ2? Since I think that's where DQH should be compared coz it's also a spin-off.
One of the sites I follow posted this neat chart.
The pie shows the preorders software have on each platform (only on his store, not all of Japan) while the table or whatever shows the number of titles, now he makes it clear that he's not counting all upcoming games on the platform but only notable/ones that have some notable preroders, point and case, he says that the lone WiiU game there is Genei Ibunroku #FE.
Pretty sure that if you keep track of preorders on whatever site you know that the bulk of 3DS preorders is Monster Hunter X, which the guy makes pretty clear, as in if he were to make the chart a couple of weeks later there'd be a drastic change.
He also mentions the most preordered games on his story, which are.
[3DS] Monster Hunter X
[PS4] Fallout 4
[PS4] Star Wars: Battlefront
[PS4] Dragon Quest Builders
[PS4] Exist Archive
[3DS] Monster Hunter
[PSV] Kidou Senshi Gundam: Extreme VS Force
[PSV] Valkyrie Drive : Bhikkuni
[PSV] Chou Jigen Taisen Neptune VS Sega Hard Girls: Yume no Gattai Special
[PSV] Dragon Quest Builders
Note that that might not be the actual order, he just says "these are the top preorders" and then posts a bunch of images.
Dude also notes the performance of western games on PS4, namely Star Wars, Fallout and Rainbow Six.
Badly. Pirated into oblivion.
I don't have exact figures handy but I recall the GBC games selling well while the DS ones flopped (including Rocket Slime). DWI-III GBC also sold relatively well.
Swords might be an okay comparison. It was nominally an action rpg but really a railshooter, sort of like how Heroes is nominally an action rpg but really a Musou. Both also had dubbed audio and were on the leading home consoles of their day. Anyway Swords did 15k it's first npd.

This is interesting. Thanks for sharing.Ōkami;185636267 said:
I am curious to see how Fallout 4 will sell compared to TW3. Fallout 4 is an RPG with a FPS/TPS mode that can be changed with the simple push of a button. I am confident it will do well enough in Japan.
As for the DQH and other sales figure, guys it is best to just discuss it in the NPD thread. If anyone wants to discuss with me, I am posting in the NPD thread. I'd rather keep it there instead of derailing Media Create here.

I know it's not tracked on those, I was just commenting on the not-so positive reports from numerous people in JP. Will probably boost Wii U to like 18K-ish, it's also kinda costly, and the value isnt all that amazing.
Apologies. I thought it'd be prudent to put graphs to words right after posting.
Anyway, I'll be curious to know how many stores the former represents and the overall order #s. Graphs are rather meaningless without actual numbers and labels tied to them, especially pie charts as they are nothing more than relative % distribution which can be representing anything from 10 things to a 1,000,000 things with no distinction without clarification. I'd quote the COMG numbers with my graph if they weren't readily available in this thread and elsewhere for little effort.

Project X Zone 2 bombed, which is not surprising given the bad word of mouth the first one got. Its existence is solely due to Western sales - it sold 10 times the expectations over here.
Poor numbers. SMTIV debuted at 75k units or so.

You do know SMTIV is a mainline SMT title and DQH isn't.

The comparison was just to highlight that NA audience for Japanese games exists - SMT is really a niche franchise that never sold high numbers, and the last mainline entry was on PS2, around 10 years ago. Also, DQ should be more popular than SMT among general public - DQVIII and IX both sold around 500k units in NA. But, again, the comparison wasn't really a direct one - DQ Heroes can be considered poor by themselves.

in term of sales neither GW nor Obon week is comparable to week 51 and 52, in term of releases recently we had a peak during the end of March, which is also the end of the fiscal year.

Persona 4 Golden did about 33K in its Vita debut when the system was far weaker. FFXHD Vita did around 70K+ in NPD(I recall seeing 73K or so, but was unsure if that was after two months or not).
Matching a Vita port's sales is not that great.
