This was Sony's week, not next.
Does Sony actually "DO" anything during these weeks?

*Next week I will add more weeks. PS3 up to 5 million.
I don't know, what is it supposed to "DO"?
No, just demographics work in their favor this week each year for who is buying games.

Sarcasm?Seems like all the bashing and hatred against FFXV has been fruitlessQuality 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 launchedAnd 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.
PS4 needs to reach close to 4.5m until end of February... if that happens PS3 won't catch it until maybe 2018.And some people thought PS4 would fall behind PS3 after PS3 slim and FF13 released.

It might be already there with digital.Good hold for FFXV.
Hope it reaches 1 million

I hardly doubt FFXV reached 100k digital in Japan but everything can happen... even 50k I have doubts.It might be already there with digital.
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.
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.
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.
Using MC numbers (sorry Famitsu fans) we are now in Week 150.So the PS4 needs to sell about 400K in 8 weeks?... I think it could fall short, but probably not by a lot.
That is why I don't believe FFXV digital reached 50k... to be fair 20-30k is my bet.Ōkami;227780862 said:15/00. Final Fantasy XV (Square Enix) – {29/11/2016} (¥9.504)

Digital in Japan is pretty weak.
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.

Where I did wrong in my maths? At least I got the week right??? I guess I got the PS3 numbers for weeks ahead.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 2010 (2010/01/04).
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 21.400 average per week after holidays.
Oh I like that Gravity Rush Remastered promotion, nice timing here to raise some awareness.
Come on, we've been here beforeAll 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.
Thanks... I will fix my post.4.100.663 is indeed week 150 for PS4
3,825,217 is week 158 for PS3

Digital in Japan is pretty weak.
Next week is not the biggest week for PlayStation??? That is what most are saying... expect boost I guess???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.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
Based on what Chris said, this week was the PlayStation wee not next. Hence why ps4 got a very nice hold this weekNext week is not the biggest week for PlayStation??? That is what most are saying... expect boost I guess???

Next week there are hardware rises for everything and software rises for leggy titles.
What Okami posted are not Famitsu estimates but real positions on the PS store.
I think it was Duckroll the one who explained why digital is not as prominent in Japan than in the West. 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.

Yup I know, I was referring to a previous dicussionethomaz 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.
Wow, Duckroll bought so many Saga copies.![]()
Looking forward to December digital estimates. FFXV numbers too.
These DS and GB numbers are crazy for Japan... how is the population there???This week 3DS topped 22m at Famitsu (22.031.261) and outsold PS2 (21.987.405)
The only systems with bigger LTD are DS (32.864.126) and GB (32.430.000)
