The last week of the year, and we should see consistent holds for most games.

Famicom Mini had been restocked on a weekly basis. It has been recommended, though, one unit per person. There are even other products related with Famicom Mini that are very popular.

Wii U software is very popular as well. In fact, we can see here some games in bomba bins that hasn't anything to do with holidays as Xenoblade at 980yen or Genei Ibun Roku and StarFox Zero at 1980yen, or other kind of games as the Wii games of Momotetsu, very popular since February and now even more since the release of the 3DS game.

Q4 2015 is complete but week 52 is missing from Q4 2016.

Last week of 2015 was 1.129.000. If software next week is >1.296.000 Q4 2016 will be better than 2015.

Q1 and especially Q3 were the big problems of 2016.

......wonder what Ito is up to at Square Enix?

I think DMC is plausible since it would cost way less to make than something like Dragon's Dogma, and it's a genre where there's barely any competition, so Capcom would probably feel they could carve out a couple million sales even if the game was somewhat questionable.

Looking at his credits it's the most reasonable choice. Dark Arisen did well on PC but I doubt it did well to justify a full blown sequel, especially a current gen one. Everything else is a guaranteed failure so it's either DMC5 or something new.

I still expect Capcom to somehow fuck up Devil May Cry so badly that the franchise will be dead (again). Like they did or are doing with almost every one of their IPs.

Nah i think it will be fine. DMC use to have lots of competition like God of War, Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden, etc. Now everyone has started moving to Souls like combat systems. DMC5 should have this entire genre basically to itself.

The thing with Capcom is that they will still find a way to fuck it up lol.

DD not being on current gen consoles makes me wonder if there ever will be a sequel to it.

DMC is a lock to me. I think Deep Down has been completely revamped, new engine, now a $60 service game a la Division or Destiny. At least that's what I am hoping. Dragon's Dogma I could never get into.

You expect FF XV to be less than ¥1000 within January? That's a keen prediction.

A year and a half old doesn't necessarily mean that price anyway, does it? Loads of older games aren't close to that price when I look at them on amazon.jp, lol. I wish I could pick up Madoka Magicka for that price. You can, however, get bomba games like Exstetra for that price.

To note, I used the phrase "Capcom would probably feel" to indicate that I don't necessarily agree that DMC5 would to do especially well.

Oftentimes the reason there's almost no games left in a genre is because not enough people were buying games in it to make it worthwhile.

I'm assuming this isn't a $15-$30 digital game also which is how some genres revive themselves.

It'd definitely do better than a new Auto Modellista or Power Stone though.

It's either that or something new but I'm not sure what would match their core competencies. Then again Capcom couldn't make Lost Planet work...

I imagine if DMC5 is happening, which it probably is, it's probably only budgeted to to break even on 400-500k Japanese sales, since cuhrayzee action isn't massively popular this gen.

Probably not breaking even nowadays then...

EDIT: I actually have no idea how the other games sold in Japan anyway...

In a couple of weeks, if you ask me...

1,000yen maybe not, but 2,000yen is perfectly possible around late January, when the PlayStation effect vanishes away.

Xenoblade was very frontloaded and overshipped. Around June 2015 (two months after the release), the game was at 1,080yen on Rakuten.

I think if Capcom had went in on a Dragon's Dogma sequel at the $60-$80+ million budget level for early this generation, it would have had a reasonable shot at 5+ million success, but I totally understand why they wouldn't want to take that risk.

They really don't make much money at Capcom honestly, so that'd be hugely risky for them.

I imagine it would be an even tougher proposition for them considering the fact that the first game did most of its sales in Japan(until the PC release).

It did?

Dragon Dogma on PS3/X360 sold around 1.3 million. No digital version was released so that's it. Japan sales are around 687k.

Dragon Dogma: Dark Arisen on PS3/X360 including digital version has sold around 1.5 million. This doesn't count the PC version. Japan sales are around 210k.

http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/finance/million.html

Combine both and we get around 2.8 million. The current PC sales on Steam Spy are around 640k.

So yeh, the initial sales might be higher in Japan but good WOM resulted in some nice legs for the game on the consoles.

Hmmm looks like Dark Arisen did a lot better in the west than the initial release then.

EDIT: I do feel the need to point out you can't just add them like that because you couldn't get the extra content without buying Dark Arisen so a good chunk of those people will be double dippers. Otherwise we'd saying Monster Hunter 4 sold over 8 million copies.

There is a reason I listed them separately. Added them together to show the potential combined sales of the franchise as a whole, which is still low for an AAA budget RPG even if we take into consideration the PC version.

Capcom always combines them when they refer to their sales. The last PR update for the sold+shipped was around 2.3 million.

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/dragons-dogma-series-sales-reach-23-million-units/1100-6430483/

Right now, if we count the PC version, it is above 3.4 million.

Cross-post from the Switch thread but according to NintendoEverything in this lengthy interview with Takayuki Kawasaki from Epic Games Japan he says a lot of Unreal Engine 4 games are in development for Switch, including already announced major releases. Thought it might be worth mentioning here, especially if someone could provide their own translation(including the rest of the interview).

YSO's predictions for the last holiday week have Super Mario Maker on 3DS above 100k.

Even if we see a 50% drop this week the game will be hitting a million during the first week of 2017.

Quoting, because I'd like to see a human translation of the major tidbits from the interview as well. I think those could make a separate thread as well, possibly.

Switch is a home console!

I'd say "no way they're throwing away the Vita audience" but Falcom did, so who knows *shrug*. Then again, God Eater was even more heavily weighted to Vita than Legend of Heroes was, so will be interesting to see what happens.

I think there's a good chance they do - but I also think it's a massive mistake if they do.

I don't think there's a big chance it will release on Switch either.

Tekken is the most likely IMO. For a few reasons:

Harada's last four games have been Nintendo releases
Tekken 6 was ported to PSP and 3DS
When asked whether it was coming to Switch Harada gave a non-answer
The release date is being announced at an event this month
