Sales didn't go up last year, the decline was just less.

You have to compare it with holidays 2011-12. A year that have the same days placed.

Week 1 2012 (Jan 2 - Jan 8)

New Year Sales strong days are the second and the third of January. Week 52 (Dec 26 - Jan 1) hasn't got any Christmas days, neither New Year Sales (On Jan 1, most shops are closed due to holiday), that's why it's a weaker week.

I think I heard back in a Media Create thread how kids get their money post-Christmas for New Year and these usually purchase PS platform hence the usual boost near the new year. Not sure now who said it back then, but it seems like it.

And some people thought PS4 would fall behind PS3 after PS3 slim and FF13 released. Still its pretty remarkable how Sony plans hardware with a new mainline FF and how similar the combined effect on their system is.

Seems like all the bashing and hatred against FFXV has been fruitless :) Quality always prevails in the end and it's great to see that the title recovered so quickly. I imagine SE must be happy with the results considering the marketing and production budgets should be back in their bank very soon with this kind of sales performance. Nothing can stop the #RoadTo1M train anymore and after that is said and done, I can't see why they shouldn't announce the next manifestation of FF very soon.

I think all the predictions about the brand losing its power were always kinda hyperbole and in the end both gamers and SE can be very happy not only about FFXV itself but also that it managed to make a big enough splash that might revive the glorious days of JRPG extravaganza on dedicated videogame machines/PS4.

I imagine Tabata is very happy with FFXV selling better in its 5th week than the already strong FFXIII - at least this is what I love to think when thinking about Tabata walking through the Square Enix headquarter hallways with his trusty dust mop

Week 148 is when the Slim launched for PS3. Week 132 is when PS4 Slim launched
As PS4 falls out of holidays and PS3 enters it is when we can see whether or not it keeps up.

PS4 needs to reach close to 4.5m until end of February... if that happens PS3 won't catch it until maybe 2018.

FFXIII + holidays line compares with February PS4 time.

The Wii U sold approximately 1/3 of what it did last year. And the Switch wasn't even a factor for most of it.

That's the kind of power Splatoon had.

So the PS4 needs to sell about 400K in 8 weeks?... I think it could fall short, but probably not by a lot.

Now that we have MC full-year, here the HW YTD from 2002 to 2016:
As expected total hardware was down compared to last year by almost 900K (HW YTD is declining year after year since 2011).
First time since 2002 where HW YTD is lower than 5 million units.
Click to expand...

It's also the first year no hardware sold 2M (3DS was basically there, but still...). Also, it's the highest sales for the second best selling console since 2011.

The console was basically out of stock shortly after the 2015 holidays, and Nintendo didn't care to restock. Nintendo actively killed the Wii U in Japan with the higher prices, etc. yet thanks to its software (especially Splatoon), the console still managed 3M compared to the GC's 4M despite putting a lot more effort into the GC in a much better market situation. I honestly think that if Nintendo actually had tried with the Wii U in Japan, it might have sold close to 1M more (aka price cuts instead of price increases, just having stock in 2016, etc.).


Also (late) congrats to:
- PS4 breaking 4M on Famitsu
- Minecraft Vita breaking 1M on MC
- Yakuza 6 breaking 300K (needs to keep going though...)
- Minecraft Wii U breaking 250K retail
- Last Guardian hitting 100K
- Minecraft PS4 hitting 150K

Hoping that the random RE6 re-release sales are indicative of people getting ready for RE7 in January.... kind of doubt it though...

Using MC numbers (sorry Famitsu fans) we are now in Week 150.

Week 150: PS3 3.531.136 / PS4 4.100.667
Week 151: PS3 3.571.096
Week 152: PS3 3.608.634
Week 153: PS3 3.639.530
Week 154: PS3 3.669.761
Week 155: PS3 3.699.738
Week 156: PS3 3.735.799
Week 157: PS3 3.784.724
Week 158: PS3 3.823.222
Week 159: PS3 3.857.974
Week 160: PS3 3.904.532
Week 170: PS3 3.962.314
Week 171: PS3 4.037.400
Week 172: PS3 4.274.486
Week 173: PS3 4.385.005
Week 174: PS3 4.499.373

After that the holidays ends for PS3 and PS4 will enter in April... so I believe PS4 will start to sell more units weekly after Week 175.

If PS4 can cross 4.5m until Week 174 it will comfortable lead the rest of the year.

Edit - Fixed with the right data.

That is why I don't believe FFXV digital reached 50k... to be fair 20-30k is my bet.

Digital in Japan is pretty weak.

Come on, we've been here before :( All those Famitsu digital sales were surveys. We know jackshit about what the digital ratio really is in Japan, for any system. It's around 30% in the West, why should we assume to be much below 10% in Japan ? I think japanese gamers know how to download a game as much as we do.

And if there is a game that certainly did not underperformed digitally, it's FFXV, since Square Enix said the game has broken their record for the most first-day digital sales in Japan. That still does not give us numbers, but that's a fact.

Using MC numbers (sorry Famitsu fans) we are now in Week 150.

Week 150: PS3 3,825,217 / PS4 4.100.667
Week 151: PS3 3,859,969
Week 152: PS3 3.906.497
Week 153: PS3 3.964.279
Week 154: PS3 4.039.395
Week 155: PS3 4.276.480
Week 156: PS3 4.386.999
Week 157: PS3 4,501,368
Week 158: PS3 4.562.958
Week 159: PS3 4.598.114
Week 160: PS3 4.625.080

After that the holidays ends for PS3 and PS4 will enter in March releases... so I believe PS4 will start to sell more units weekly after Week 158.

If PS4 can cross 4.5m until Week 157 it will comfortable get the lead again in two/three week while PS3 will be ahead for these two/three weeks.

Let't see if next week PS4 can hold over 70k.
Click to expand...

If the lead of PS4 over PS3 was so smal as you think, with FFXIII coming, PS3 wouldn't just pass it but destroy it.

Current LTDs are these:

PS3 - 3.531.136
PS4 - 4.100.663
DIF - 569.527

These are the sales of PS3 for the next 15 weeks until the end of 2009 (2010.01.03).
PS4 will be at 2017.04.17 at that time.

In the next 15 weeks PS4 needs to sell 968.237 - 569.527 = 398.710 so that it doesn't fall behind PS3. There is the last big week of the year (let's say 100k) meaning 300k in 14 weeks or 21.500 average per week after holidays.

Where I did wrong in my maths? At least I got the week right??? I guess I got the PS3 numbers for weeks ahead.

Thanks... that means the situation is way better than I expected... with my wrong maths PS4 could lost the lead for two-three weeks but now I can't see that happening this year anymore.

PS. You meant end of 2009 ;)

IIRC digital games are more expensive and can't be re-sold and with the importance of the second hand market for Japan makes some titles sell much less digitally (specially RPG like Final Fantasy). Unfortunately I don't think FF XV has sold 100.000 digitally but we should wait for SE to release new shipment numbers.

So...
Are the people that think ps4 will not sell similar to ps3 in terms of LTD in japan basing this on..?

Longer life time?
Or better weekly sales?
Or...what?
The latter seems unlikely going with those numbers

XV being at 1 million or not yet is inconsequential as it will ultimately get there. No way it misses including digital in the long run.

Next week will be the test in terms of what legs could truly look like.

Without direct sequels and a new mainline FF at the minimum 4 years off its legs will carry physical sales to over 1 million alone.

I never understood too the talk about after FFXIII + holidays PS3 will be ahead even when my math was using wrong data.

PS3 can go ahead after 2018 but for now I can't see that happening in 2017.

Do games like witcher 3 get a bump from highly rated DLC in japan? Maybe that could help it a bit if the DLC for XV is good.

I hope FFXV continues to sell. It's no where near as bad as haters want to argue. I'm just glad that the game is finding an audience. Hopefully SE continues seeing games like FFXV as a worthwhile investment.

Yup I know, I was referring to a previous dicussion :) ethomaz thought the digital sales from Famitsu were real numbers shared by the publishers and I think most of his opinion about the digital sales being awful in Japan came from here.

In reality, I've never seen any official statement from a japanese publisher about the state of the digital sales in Japan. Not a single hint about what the % could be. And that's the huge problem we have when we talk about digital here.

About what you say, I'm not sure digital games are more expensive in Japan than elsewhere and from the PS Store rankings posted here every week by Ôkami we can see there are nice sales too. That leaves us with the japanese love for the second hand market... yeah, I don't know if that's enough to draw any serious conclusion.

Seems like all the bashing and hatred against FFXV has been fruitless :) Quality always prevails in the end and it's great to see that the title recovered so quickly. I imagine SE must be happy with the results considering the marketing and production budgets should be back in their bank very soon with this kind of sales performance. Nothing can stop the #RoadTo1M train anymore and after that is said and done, I can't see why they shouldn't announce the next manifestation of FF very soon.

I think all the predictions about the brand losing its power were always kinda hyperbole and in the end both gamers and SE can be very happy not only about FFXV itself but also that it managed to make a big enough splash that might revive the glorious days of JRPG extravaganza on dedicated videogame machines/PS4.

I imagine Tabata is very happy with FFXV selling better in its 5th week than the already strong FFXIII - at least this is what I love to think when thinking about Tabata walking through the Square Enix headquarter hallways with his trusty dust mop

No, I was saying that digital games are more expensive than their retail counterparts. You can see that it happens with all the PS4 titles (Battlefield 1, Yakuza 6, FF XV...) in the top20 retail list (if you compare them with their digital versions).

Ranking in the XV position (rimshot) is not a good sign for healthy digital sales and believe me, second hand market in Japan is huuuuuuuuge (hiska used to post the numbers and they were enormous) moreso with RPGs not named Pokemon (that's why most of them are so frontloaded). But it'd better if someone living there could give us a better explanation of the actual digital situation in Japan.

Famitsu retail + digital all rereleases

[PS4] Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition - 388.000
[PS4] Grand Theft Auto V - 387.631

These two are the leggy games on PS4, both sold more than 100k last year and could very much do it this year too.

It wouldn't be surprising to see GTA and Minecraft above MGSV someday.

[PS4] Bloodborne - 314.765
[PS4] Battlefield 4 - 312.681
[PS4] Battlefield 1 - 296.139

Battlefield 1 should have no problem outselling Battlefield 4 and it didn't need to be sold at 500 yen to do so.

Call of Duty on the other hand.

[PS4] Call of Duty: Black Ops III - 384.143
[PS4] Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare - 177.376

By now 1 PS4 game has sold more than 900k, 2 have sold more than 500k, 8 have sold more than 400k, 15 have sold more than 300k, 22 more than 200k and about 50 more than 100k.

These DS and GB numbers are crazy for Japan... how is the population there???

Edit - Wiki says ~130m... it is crazy how much these devices sold in a small country.
