2DS bundle doing its job.

Also, 3DS at 2m next week. This week if you had the Pokémon 2DS bundles.

65k is a modest start for SaGa, but considering how bad the marketing hype cycle was, I think we'll see legs for this game over the holiday season and into the new year. Could well cross 200k in the best case scenario.

Only 935k sales to go Duckroll.

Should be doable. I believe in Kawazu Multiplier!

At least SaGa beat Legend of Legacy!

SaGa will easily double those opening numbers. The word of mouth is insane.

Wonder why ps4 is selling better this holiday even though all the new releases are bombing? It's not much cheaper than last year right?

Oh, just noticed that Media Create data will be late due the holidays. Data for Week 51 and 52 out on January 6th.
 
Higher than I would have thought for Yak 6 but it was already a big drop. Isn't this one as meaty or more so than the old ones? I still need to play through 3/4....

SaGa has good words of mouth? It's a good entry to the franchise?

Yokai Watch is pretty terrible numbers right?

I'd wait for the second week of Saga Scarlet Grace.
But I was even expecting less for its first week.

Hmm, FF XV not dropping as dramatically this week. I expected another 70-80% drop.

Miitopia is steady, I'm still not sure it's going to be a great success but it should do fine.

YW 3's opening is pretty good, much better than IE3: The Ogre's actually.

Also Mario Maker 3DS is a beast.
 
Bang on what I expected for SaGa. Lets see what it can do over the coming weeks.

Looks like Minecraft Vita won't quite reach 1m this year. Not far off though!
 
SaGa and FFXV are both doing quite a bit better than I would have expected. FFXV won't hit a million retail numbers, but it's probably already at 900k with digital sales. It's not great, but it's not an outright disaster (tell me if I'm wrong).

As far as SaGa miracles go, I guess legs and 200k would be a sight to behold.

Believes Dragon Quest is a franchise managed by Sony
Nice hold for FF15, if they manage to sell out their first shipment, that will be great news.

Hope yakuza 6 hangs around. Decent sales for PS4 and ffxv as well. I guess yokai watch didn't do as terrible as expected but still a huge drop
 
technically everything on the chart has a decent bump in sales compared to what we typically see in drops and sales. Especially games like TLG at 10,000, FF etc

Almost cute seeing Pokemon sell like more than half the total of 1st week sales of the new YW game. Sure, it's a 3rd version, but still, how the mighty have fallen... lol.

That said, I guess Hino isn't disappointing anyone here. Successfully ran another IP to the ground in record time.
 
It's holidays.

For Sukiyaki I'll rise my expectations up after this opening.

Well yes, the whole chart is bumped up quite a bit, the 10,000 sales are usually much higher on typical time frames.

Software is helping ps4 a lot on year to year hardware bump though. Should continue strong as all the good and imo best stuff rolls out next year unless there is a massive "switch" issue. Not sure how many rpgs or ports that will switch over though.

I think the biggest set back for FFXV in Japan is the physical shipment. It shipped a million copies and it's not going to be able to sell it out, which means there was a overestimation of demand by retailers and S-E. This hurts the image of the FF brand on the retail level.

Beyond that, I think the results are not disastrous. It's doing better now than it seemed at launch, but those unsold copies are still going to be sitting there. Not a healthy outcome for S-E.
 
Are those good numbers for Sukiyaki?

Shinuchi, the previous 'third version', sold almost 1.25 million in it's first week, so how 'good' its performance is is dependent on whether you're measuring it by the rest of the market (in which case, still generally so) or by the franchise itself (in which case, no).

If word of mouth brings SaGa over 100k, I wonder if Square will consider developing future installments.

100k is a very low bar for SaGa. I think we need to expect more for there to be serious investment in the franchise moving forward. SaGa is not a small niche series in Japan even though everyone outside of Japan treats it as such. If it can sell >200k (with digital maybe, retail might be hard because of the used market) I think there will be strong renewed confidence in the franchise.

Keep in mind that this game is something selling entirely on the passion of the fanbase alone. People who love the story and game design style of SaGa, Kobayashi's art, and Ito's music. It has almost zero support from S-E in terms of actual marketing, it has zero support in production (game feels like it was coded by interns!), and it is a Vita exclusive even though it is made in Unity, with no interest from S-E to release it on PS4 at the same time.
