I don't know if that's true across the board, but some of their titles have experienced growth in the Asian market. DQH performed greatly outside of Japan in the Asian market, for instance, but I doubt every title does or that they bank on that specifically.

It's crazy to think how much these games sell despite having pretty low production values; I know licensing and stuffs, but 250-500k units these days are a pretty nice achievement to reach.

Kind of surprised at Blade Arcus. Sega is somehow shipping a fighting game in 2015 with no online mode and 30k are expected to show up?
Grand Kingdom looks like what would happen if a Vanillaware game had a fraction of its usual budget.
This game already has 300 ratings on PSN

but they're kind of negative. It's sitting at 2/5 right now.
My 1.35 millions predictions for Monster Hunter is the avarage of YSO prediction, haha! xD
Good to see Splatoon in back.

Second week.
Those are second week numbers. The drop is still high, though.Also, WTF Battlefront!?!?!?!??!
Nevermind, i see xD but there is an error... i mean, he said "YSO predictions WEEK 47" but this is Week 48 if i'm not wrong...

Oh, I did find it odd that it was around the same as Amiibo Festival lol.
What was first week?
DarkLordMalik

So many people hoped Battlefront would sell well because "Star Wars" but sadly the game is mediocre, and I doubt the WOM will give it any good legs like BO3.
NVM: This for second week. Still don't think it will have legs due to movie. The game is not that good aside from graphics.

Yeah, I think the lack of overall quality took wind out of the sails. BO3 will be the dominant shooter for this season.
Correct me if I am mistaken, but wasn't the general outlook on SWB that of "do not expect much from it just because of the IP"? I mean Vikk was in here a few threads back and said this very thing.
I don't know who or what had lofty expectations of SWB but if it was just because of the IP, it was very misguided and readily pointed out as a bad barometer.
This is guaranteed by years end.

That actually isnt as bad for AC amiibo turd as I thought.
Splatoon going back to the 20ks is nice to see.
1 million years end is a lock now.
Ouch Battlefront.

This is starting to be boring... i mean... it was over 905,000 one month ago... at least 1.6 / 1.7 millions, not less.

People thinking Star Wars would do 30k opening week on PS4 xD
He said "Week 47"...
damn, you were going in for the kill on swb lol
I'm not saying it's impossible to make a successful game on a low budget. I'm saying that making a shameless knockoff with a seemingly lower budget is a good recipe to not reap the same success. I know Grand Knights History and Grand Kingdom (Inafune would be proud) share a common director, but MonoChro is no Vanillaware in terms of presentation.
True, but seriously though, Grand Kingdom looks really great and plays great, I'm loving it right now.

I really wouldn't call it low production values though. The game is one of the better looking titles on 3DS....
By that time used sales might really eat into it too.

That's a bullshot, but yeah the game definitely doesn't have low production values, it's a big game. Nothing at all surprising about its sales. Run for Money on the other hand, now that would qualify.

Thanks for the responses. I realise Asia is a big question mark for these things and that they're probably made on a shoestring budget, but still, these are some tiny sales.
If it were a small otome factory or something like that I could understand it, but for a mid-tier dev/pub like Koei Tecmo it hardly seems worth it.
Not expecting great things from Exist Archive either then?
It's out pretty soon and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of hype around it, so...

This campaign is not related only to Bic Camera but it's nationwide as reported on Vita official page
My mistake, so. I think this is a quite good thing for PSVita hardware heading this holidays.

Monster Hunter 3P : 2,1m
Monster Hunter 4 : 1,8m
Monster Hunter 4G : 1,6m
Monster Hunter X : 1,5m ?

hmmm, it think it's pretty useless, your kid receiving Vita inside a Santa socket is not as happy as he would be by receiving Vita with Minecraft included
Minecraft is so cheap that I doubt Santa would mind giving it as an extra gift.
Really the only downside of this deal is kids wanting Splatoon more.
Indeed. xD
In this case, I'd expect digital to supersede that gap. Do we have numbers on 4G digital performance?
Moor-Angol
Banned
I don't know, but also we don't have MHP3 digital numbers (some Vita owners might have bought it from PSN, there is any info about it ?)
It's between boxboy and cube creator 3D on the eshop charts, if that helps.
Oh not MH3P, I meant 4G gap.

I just said that if we cound digital sales for 3DS titles we should include (if possible of course) MHP3 sales, for a complete comparison

it was given out for free on plus if i am not mistaken so not sure if they are counting that
First Week is not that important here, since MHX is releasing during the best week of the year (for being benefited by Holiday boost).
MHX LTD numbers might eventually be higher than MH4G.
Btw, wasn't Famitsu MHP3 first week numbers higher than the shipment reported by Capcom?
