Media Create Sales: Week 50, 2015 (Dec 07 - Dec 13)

[Pennywise83]

How well did the game sell?

I asked what are your expectations about the game. Will it crack the 100k mark on both platforms?

 

[Jarod McChicken]

I asked what are your expectations about the game. Will it crack the 100k mark on both platforms?

No. You're welcome ^_^

 

[Jigorath]

I asked what are your expectations about the game. Will it crack the 100k mark on both platforms?

Probably not?

 

[horuhe]

How are expectations for Exist Archive? It does seem another new IP bombing.

Yes, I think it is. It didn't seem doing it "hot" on the different pre-order info, so I would assume, given the genre it is, it will kinda bomb.

 

[CaviarMeths]

#FE is going to be the bomba to end all bombas. Poor thing.

 

[Jarod McChicken]

An update on the Setsuna website ! With new SCREENSHOTS. Sure, that's the first one since a month ago, but you can feel how the marketing is heating for this juggernaut. At this point, 300K at launch would be the bare minimum.

Dat Vita number. It lives...
That's a pretty awesome week for PS4 SW considering Fallout hasn't come out yet.
Over 40% of Wii U SW sales are just squids in the course of the last 9 months

 

[Pennywise83]

Exist Archive can somehow be compared to The Legend of Legacy: small publishers (Spike Chunsoft v. FuRyu), re-imagination of a popular jRPG IP (Valkyrie Profile v. SaGa), involved staffs belonging to Square Enix. I feel Exist Archive has some advantages: it is on two platforms; Valykrie Profile has always been associated with PS nore than how SaGa has been associated with Nintendo; marketing budget seems higher - it got a Famitsu cover and a lot of coverage by magazine, and a TV ad (The Legend of Legacy also got a nice coverage though). Also, tri-Ace is a well-known company among jRPG fans.

The Legend of Legacy ended at around 75-80k so I think Exist Archive should be aimed at doing something more, around 90-95k. In fact, the game is being released today and I havent' seen much anticipation so it might do half of that.

This week Monster Hunter X seems to last a little more in stores than the past weeks. Finally Capcom is meeting demand.
I expect an increase for MHX next week, over 200k weekly.

10K seems more reasonable to me. You shouldn't hype yourself up too much, otherwise you'll be disappointed

Speaking of anticipation, shall we expect #FE numbers to be more close to Fire Emblem or Persona ?

Discuss.

We don't know the exact scale of the game but that's a pretty good analysis, alas it doesn't seem like it will reach these numbers.

Fire Emblem is a 400k-500k seller now, Persona is in the same ballpark so I don't know what there is to discuss.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

#FE is going to be the bomba to end all bombas. Poor thing.

100k?
50k?
25k (no way)?

An update on the Setsuna website ! With new SCREENSHOTS. Sure, that's the first one since a month ago, but you can feel how the marketing is heating for this juggernaut. At this point, 300K at launch would be the bare minimum.

Oh boy they really are going all out marketing this game. Can you imagine the budget for this. Setsuna is bomba if it does not at least sell 300k.

 

[1st Course]

[PS4] Fallout 4 # <RPG> (Bethesda Softworks) (¥8.618)

I'm expecting big debut. Maybe 100k (or is that too much?)

 

[Ryng_tolu]

I predict 105k for Fallout next week.

 

[hiska-kun]

[PS4] Fallout 4 # <RPG> (Bethesda Softworks) (¥8.618)

I'm expecting big debut. Maybe 100k (or is that too much?)

100k seems easy

 

[Jarod McChicken]

100K for me too, no less. It has just reached 100 points on Comgnet, also.

After Fallout 4, there will be a whole new entire month without any release on PS4 in Japan D:
Until Odin Sphere Leifdrasir on January 14 if I'm right.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

>120k would be Amazing For Fallout 4.

 

[Fdkn]

Oh boy they really are going all out marketing this game. Can you imagine the budget for this. Setsuna is bomba if it does not at least sell 300k.

I see what you did there...

Apart from the fact that it should reach 90k. Don't agree with your reasons for why it should be getting more.

With that said, it looks like its going to be in the ballpark of Grand Kingdom sales, another spiritual successor IP made by Spike Chunsoft which bombed. What a shame.

[Orgen]

Now that we're talking about budgets and expectations (Mantis, you shouldn't be mocking anyone by the way ;D) I was mildly surprised reading some interviews with Takahashi about XCX's budget and his insight in this matter (Budget in Japanese games):

http://www.gamereactor.eu/articles/368023/Tetsuya+Takahashi+Talks+Xenoblade+Chronicles+X/

As you know, creating high-definition character models is a very complicated process, but in simple terms there are two major factors when creating good character models: creating high-quality assets, and the implementation of those assets by a team of skilled staff. If one or both of those requirements aren't fully satisfied, the ideal result cannot be realised. We are a very small studio, which is sometimes good but also sometimes restrictive in terms of manpower and resources, so we can't always achieve everything we would wish for.

I also think it's really meaningful that this is a middle tier title, rather than a AAA title

http://time.com/4149809/xenoblade-chronicles-x-director-tetsuya-takahashi/

If, say, a human character needs a map around 1km square to play on, then a robot six times that size would need a map 6km square—in other words, 36 times the size. At the same time, we can’t multiply our dev budget by 36 times what we need to create maps for human characters, so we needed to innovate with ways to express that kind of scope while keeping costs down. I think we did a really good job striking a balance with this project.

Except for a subset of titles, Japanese RPGs are budgeted so they’ll make a profit off sales within Japan alone,” says Takahasi. “It seems to me that building the entire world of the game itself (making it open-world) is considered one must-have element for Western RPGs nowadays, but that just can’t be done in the current Japan scene. But lately, I’ve started to wonder about whether this is really just because of budgetary issues. I think this is probably due to differences in cultural tastes, but in the current situation, it’s difficult to take content created in Japan and have it accepted in the West. As a result, you can only create things scaled to make money within Japan alone, and it becomes this negative spiral

We’re also seeing mobile games flourish in Japan while the console market declines, but the type of audience playing mobile games in Japan now has never bought my games, not since even before mobile existed. I consider the entire world to be my main field of battle, so I don’t worry about that at all. I also think that other companies’ RPGs, those with the potential to fight it out on the world market, aren’t going to be threatened by the state of mobile within Japan. That’s the kind of thought process that led to the completion of Xenoblade Chronicles X, and I hope that people will be willing to give it a try.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...the-man-behind-xenoblades-breathtaking-worlds

"With that game we'd learned how to create locations that are fun to explore on a budget," he explains. "If we had no restrictions at all in terms of costs, then for example we could easily make a varied and interesting map simply by creating textures and models for four or five different to use in a single 20km squared area. But within restrictions we had the difficult task of creating varied and fun locations using just the textures and models for a single kind of environment."

All these budget/cost comments make it seems that the budget for XCX was not so high as some of us expected. Anyone has a list of people involved in XCX? Could the game be a success even selling 500.000 WW?

Interesting interviews by the way, highly recommended!

Right, it seems the game will eventually sell way lower than where I think expectations should be set. The game looks nice but perhaps Spike Chunsoft is not able to promote their games properly - which is weird given how FuRyu succeeded in selling The Legend of Legacy (which looked way more low-budget than Exist Archive). Also, it's always difficult to impose new IPs.

500.000 units seems low no matter how low the budget was. Given the genre and the platform is releasing on, the game cannot aim at much higher sales unfortunately. I do hope Nintendo sees Monolith Soft as a long-term investment, to gain reputation in a genre they're lacking (open-world RPGs); also, the investment in developing such a game might come useful for future projects - Monolith Soft. should be able to complete games faster now.

 

[viHuGi]

100K for Fallout is in the bag.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

With those digital sales, how does Black Ops III stack up to the most recent CoDs?

 

[ar4757]

Are the Mario and Luigi sales normal? That's a low sellthrough although I know it'll sell over time.

Poorest performance ever for the franchise. The previous M&L game on 3DS sold well and Paper Mario 3DS is the best selling entry in the series. Perhaps franchise fatigue and little advertisement hit hard this time.

Thanks, seemed that way given it's more of a reuse of assets. Hopefully this will encourage Nintendo to use Paper Mario properly with Intelligent Systems on the NX

 

[Jarod McChicken]

Right, it seems the game will eventually sell way lower than where I think expectations should be set.

Only Spike Chunsoft know what their expectations are, though. One thing we know here from the horse's mouth, is that Kenka Bancho 6 underperformed, which was easy to guess given the 25k launch (the worst for the main series).

Apart from Danganronpa (and The Witcher 3, thanks CD Projekt) what is the last Spike Chunsoft game that didn't flop anyway ? Probably Shingeki no Kyôjin, but that's a special case, a very popular licence. But after that, there is not only Grand Kingdom, everyone has forgotten the double bomb samurai games Ukyo no Shishi & Ukyo no Rôshi from January.

Thanks lord Kenka Bancho Otome is coming in March to save the fiscal year

100K for me too, no less. It has just reached 100 points on Comgnet, also.

After Fallout 4, there will be a whole new entire month without any release on PS4 in Japan D:
Until Odin Sphere Leifdrasir on January 14 if I'm right.

23/12-14/01 = a whole new month.

And every other system gets numerous releases during that period.

I don't understand your post, sorry. I was saying that there will be no PS4 game between Fallout 4 (december 17) and Odin Sphere (january 14) so yeah, one month, that's what I've written (maybe in bad english D. Unless I have missed some games on the calendar of course.

 

[Chris1964]

What you don't understand is that there new PS4 releases at Dec 23 and no system gets new releases from that week until January 14.

 

[HGH]

There's one of those low budget Assassin's Creed spinoffs on the 12th if that matters at all.

EDIT: Oh yeah, the landscape's barren on 3DS and WiiU releases for that period too. The only exception is #FE on the 26th. Everyone's probably on vacation after all.

 

[frankie_baby]

Just wondering is there anyone in Japan that can say how minecraft is doing so far on the eshop chart?

Ah I've missed that one. But the only thing I could find for december 23 was... God Eater Off Shot Vol. 3. Are you talking about this ?

It will be at https://www.nintendo.co.jp/wiiu/software/ranking.html WHEN it charts lol

If I've read it correctly, it became available at 18:00 PM JPT, so...around 5 hours ago.

But today there have been major Nintendo Network problems (log in not working), so we still have to wait and see when it charts.

Mother 3 still managed to hit number 1 already though? Or did that release earlier?

 

[1st Course]

I see it as #1 too.

Just updated on mine too now, straight in at 1, impressive given today's outages

Me too but that wasn't the case 10 minutes ago ^^

They must've updated a few minutes ago. Mother 3 was first 15 minutes ago. Don't know how, though, since it's been impossible, or very difficult to log for 7-8 hours.

Boy that was fast. The Minecraft thirst is real.

Thanks.

FuRyu games sell over time (except for The Legend of Legacy) - didn't Doraemon games start at 5k units? Nice results for DS2 - and EMD could have reached 100k with enough stock during launch.
