GTA 5's debut numbers should put it comfortably above Skyrim and all but the last 3 CoD titles if I'm not mistaken.





I think this is the only sane way to interpret the data. It's astounding it's taken this long for KH to come back to consoles. Even moreso when you consider it's because of the struggles of completing FF XIV & XV.



Limbo sold about 400k WW its first month on XBLA, and it has maybe 1/10th of the content. Journey set records fairly recently PSN. The crowd is there, just not at $60. Origins eventually crawled to a million once it was discounted, this will probably do the same.

TBF considering the install bases of the systems in question it's not really a fair comparison.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

We may get digital sales from Nintendo though. Didn't they give physical+digital sales for Pikmin 3 and Luigi U last month?

I know. But the poster's use of 'yet' implied that he expected these figures to show up via NPD someday.

 

[fek]

Anything about Diva F?

 

[overcast]

270k < 1.5 < 275k

Terrific. Has to give Square high hopes for KH3.

I still need to pick it up.

 

[Saint Gregory]

101 is less than 20k but very very close.

Don't blame yourself Kamiya! Blame Nintendo and their shitty marketing!!!

Ah thanks, didn't know that!

That's heartbreaking. Such a good game. I guess it was obvious considering that it disappeared quickly from the wara-wara place.

 

[KarmaCow]

How did EO4 do in comparison to EOU?

 

[cyborg009]

Thank you!

My last request (besides hardware sales)....I dare to ask...Puppeteer sales? How did Puppeteer compare to TW101?

This.

 

[gamergirly]

Whoa at W101. Thought it would do better than 20K at least!

 

[Kagari]

KH did well. I can see FFX HD doing better.

Nice, you did what I intended to do. Any notable release missing besides Puppeteer?

 

[Principate]

Any 3DS sales? I'd like to see some positive news for once in this thread outside f GATV related.

 

[Aquamarine]

Terrific. Has to give Square high hopes for KH3.

I still need to pick it up.

I'm so glad that KH2.5 is guaranteed for overseas release.

Square Enix has been so iffy about localizations lately.

 

[Edge_Maverick]

KH did well. I can see FFX HD doing better.

And LRFFXIII will do even better.

[Raw64life]

101 is less than 20k but very very close.

So like half its total sales were from gaffers.

 

[Lexxism]

Only WiiU and 3DS sales left. I hope we can get some numbers.

 

[The Silver]

GTA putting the whole industry on its back

 

[Aquamarine]

NHL 14, FIFA 14, NBA 2K14...but GAF has never seemed to care much about the sales of sports games.

 

[Saint Gregory]

Makes sense since we were the only ones aware that it existed. I'm assuming the other 10,000 sales came from people who bought it thinking it was a Power Rangers DVD compilation...

Good thing the game comes out every quarter to carry the industry...

I think the Madden and FIFA numbers will be helpful. Comparing them to their "next-gen" version sales, that is.

 

[Sakura]

Can we get Wii U and 3DS numbers please?

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

TBF considering the install bases of the systems in question it's not really a fair comparison.

For KH? Even ignoring install base, 8 years between titles with that kind of sales potential (and KH 1.5 isn't even a REAL console sequel, just an enhanced port/remake) is absurd. It sold just 100k less than FFXIII-2, on one platform.

 

[shinra-bansho]

NBA 2K14. Did 1.3M last year launch month, but that was for the whole month of October.

 

[Mr_Antimatter]

SCEA just doesn't seem to care about the vita anymore. KZ:M deserved better.

Also doesn't help that reviews slapped it with a heavy vita-tax ratings wise.

 

[VanWinkle]

Need Puppeteer numbers. Hope it was at least more than W101. :/ Sony did ZERO marketing on the game, at least here in NA.

 

[Nyoro SF]

101 is less than 20k but very very close.

 

[Square2015]

FFXIV, creamsugar?

Gotta update that massive FF series sales chart

Hopefully FFXIV didn't bomb in its second month after that late August release.

 

[kinggroin]

20k?


Sadder than the sales is the fact so few deserving gamers will ever play the game they didnt know they wanted more than anything.

 

[RurouniZel]

101 is less than 20k but very very close.

Thanks for the info.

It's a shame. Wii U owners condemning their own console.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Solid debut for Rune Factory 4?

Just a couple days and no advertisement at all, even reviews are hard to find, lmfao.

Between Pokemon, Ace Attorney and Rune Factory, I'm in gaming heaven. Who else but 3DSus?

 

[Mory Dunz]

So for Wind Waker...
We know:
-123K = combined for Hardware Bundle with Digital
- And retail for 2 days

We don't know:
- Digital through eshop?
- And obviously retail since then

hmm

 

[FairXchange]

I understand that Wii U is having it's share of difficulties, but Wonderful 101 deserves better. Game is brimming with quality and so well put together.

 

[C4Lukins]

Interesting stuff. I assume Rayman will be down to 20 bucks by Black Friday and it will get its sales then. Outside of Mario and Donkey Kong, 2D platformers are not going to have much of a chance selling at full price at retail. And when you look at the competition this month, outside of the Wii U version there were just some huge games to compete with.

Really impressed with Kingdom Hearts. I never saw any marketing for it, and as a PS3 exclusive Square must be happy with those sales.

And PS3 broke the streak! It will probably be short lived, but it certainly puts a wrench in Microsofts PR in the coming months.

well, we know that WWHD < 1.3 million

 

[Kusagari]

W101 barely missing 20k is far better than I expected honestly.

 

[Busaiku]

well, we know that WWHD < ~1.3 million

From what?

 

[Principate]

No doubt I'm talking mostly about spin offs here of course a proper console mainline would do better likely a lot better was just saying that the series shouldn't be on handhelds sales potential wise because it sold better on consoles with an install base160 million (no idea about how much in America alone) in comparison to a handheld with an install base of aound 20 million at the time kind of isn't fair.

 

[Mory Dunz]

well, we know that WWHD < 1.3 million

....yes.


So far hardware, all we know for somewhat exact numbers is 360 ~ 169K from Aqua, and Vita is > 40K from Cream?

 

[CLEEK]

Don't blame yourself Kamiya! Blame Nintendo and their shitty marketing!!!

You can't blame Nintendo. W101 is still in a prominent place in eShop, and has been every since the demo landed.

Anecdotally, I know of a couple of people who had the same experience as me. WiiU owners. Hyped for the game. Played demo. Hated it.

Either the demo did an incredibly poor job at explaining the game - I spent my entire time thinking WTF is going on and seemingly doing well by button mashing - or the game is a turd.

 

[C4Lukins]

Really? One sale for every US city on average seemed a bit out of reach?

 

[Kagari]

And LRFFXIII will do even better.

lol, I don't think it can beat 13-2's debut of 350K.

 

[VanWinkle]

....yes.

>40k for Vita.

 

[hodayathink]

That's close to the total amount of WiiU's sold in the US.

 

[Kusagari]

Really? One sale for every US city on average seemed a bit out of reach?

It mega bombed everywhere in the world and we've seen niche games on systems with far bigger user bases miss even doing 10k.

 

[gamergirly]

Gosh that keeps looking so sad everytime I load this page. Dammit Nintendo lol

 

[Mory Dunz]

Right, sorry. Misread.

OK, the demo was a pretty bad representation of the game and Kamiya is responsible for that. For a game that was already going to be really niche the demo had to be perfect but it seemed to turn off a lot of people in the demo thread.

Hopefully the game gets another chance down the road at a discount price or something :'(

 

[Galang]

Same. I was expecting between 5 and 8k
