Media Create Sales: Week 18, 2018 (Apr 30 - May 06)

[DecoReturns]

Wow at DK.

With that performance. You would think the Wii U version was the port lol. I guess I wasn't too off with my super duper optimistic 100k OW.

 

[silpheed-mcd]

Some stores are out of stock this week for dk and they are very happy when they receive them, an example with this store:

おはようございます、おじゃま館三宮店ですー！ 大人気、売り切れ中だったSwitchのドンキーコング トロピカルフリーズが入荷しました(*´Δ｀*) 某芸人さんのプレイCMがすごく面白い。笑

Stores receive restocks, it seems DK second week will be good :)

27./15. [PS4] Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Legacy <Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm \ Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 \ Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3> <FTG> (Bandai Namco Games) {2017.07.27} (¥6.800) - 1.507 / 5.833 <40-60%> (-65%)

 

[Umibozu]

Famitsu showing dktf at 96754, really happy it's finding its audience.

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

Damn DK almost did 100k on Famitsu.
That's really impressive for a port.

 

[Deleted member 873]

Tropical Freeze deserves it.

 

[jnWake]

I'm so happy for GW result for DK. Hope it has good legs and we get the 3rd part of the trilogy!

How does Famitsu track digital sales for Nintendo titles?

And if anyone wants to bother explaining to me...why do they try to track digital but MC doesn't?

Their digital numbers are provided on a monthly basis. I'm not sure why they do that though and MC and Dengeki don't. Key thing to note is that their digital numbers are actually estimates and not fact IIRC.

 

[Jon Carter]

Tropical Freeze selling well, four years later than intended.

It's great that it could finally find an audience. The original sales were criminal for a game of this caliber.

 

[Horror]

Does DK have evergreen potential?

All sales numbers we get are estimates. The digital numbers are just less reliable estimates than the physical numbers, but neither are 100% (otherwise we wouldn't have tracker differences).

Right, I knew they weren't getting digital sales numbers from Nintendo, that's why I was wondering what method they use to estimate digital sales for Nintendo titles.

I get how they do it for physical sales...just not sure what the digital method is.

So erm........... apparently this is a thing

Edit 2: Well well, one is a Marvelous game:

What's up with that? Marvelous have these "associated" games with this and Travis Strikes Again, but little actual Marvelous published games.

 

[Deleted member 2793]

The Yoiko videos sure helped DK a lot lol

Sure. Can leg up to 300K imo.

Digital sales are based on surveys, that's why they need a month to collect the data. They don't get the exactly digital sales from publishers.

Ahhhhh Never knew that. Thanks! :)

 

[skullwaker]

Nearly 100k is pretty crazy. I think Funky Mode is really going to enhance DK's legs on the Switch as well.

Also FIFA Switch is approaching 100k and Mario + Rabbids is approaching 200k. Nice.

 

[dxspace]

FIFA 18 for Switch back in the top 30. This one will benefit the most from the WC, followed by FIFA 18 on PS4. WE is ded.

Guess we found out what the July 13th "revision' was.
now we just need a mini direct dropped tomorrow. To announce when Aces Demo is.
ARMS testpunch was late May so I guess it's the same. Unfortunately

Well this is by far the largest amount of Idea Factory games for a Nintendo system since DS. There's also Brave Neptunia as well which makes at least 5 games so far.

Apparently Grasshopper is doing 100% publishing works with distribution from Nintendo,and I think Suda said that the IP is co-owned between Grasshopper and Marvelous

[Hero of Legend]

Apparently Grasshopper is doing 100% publishing works with distribution from Nintendo,and I think Suda said that the IP is co-owned between Grasshopper and Marvelous

Click to shrink...

Right. It's my point that some of Marvelous' "support" is only by association and usually from IP ownership.

Like on Wii U, they only did one single game ever...

Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games as the developer. That was it.

Naruto 2nd week Famitsu comparison:

100k when?

 

[Madao]

just to be ahead of the curve, how did El Capitan Todd sell in japan? iirc that game didn't reach a million worldwide.

curious to see how much that one will benefit from the Switch bump. i expect the 3DS version to bomb since who would choose that over the Switch one with both releasing at the same time?

 

[RedDevil]

Guess Japan doesn't mind there being too many platformers as long as they're good, curious on how Mega Man 11 will perform.

FIFA 18 for Switch back in the top 30. This one will benefit the most from the WC, followed by FIFA 18 on PS4. WE is ded.

Click to shrink...

Is Switch on Japan getting WE? It isn't getting PES though.

 

[casiopao]

How does AoT2 Switch doing vs PS4 right now? Does it had more legs on Switch or KT already missed the chance there?

 

[Lelouch0612]

How much would a package with the Switch, the new kickstand and without the dock would cost ?

The price difference between the dock and the kickstand is 80$/~8000 Y.

Could we have a package at ~200-240k
$/22000Y-26000Y on July 13th ?

it's way too early to start selling the thing without the dock.

How does AoT2 Switch doing vs PS4 right now? Does it had more legs on Switch or KT already missed the chance there?

just to be ahead of the curve, how did El Capitan Todd sell in japan? iirc that game didn't reach a million worldwide.

curious to see how much that one will benefit from the Switch bump. i expect the 3DS version to bomb since who would choose that over the Switch one with both releasing at the same time?

there's no confirmation, but imo I think it hit 1m worldwide.

From creamsugar, it opened at 250k in NPD in December

This whole July 13th is very intriguing.

Plus we agreed that Nintendo would find a way to make the Switch cheaper when Pokemon hits to push the 1 Switch/person thing.

It is an easy way to do it.

Even if they were going to do that why would you do it in July? They are more likely to bundle the system with MK or Odyssey in Sept/Oct than strip out the dock and effectively undercut the hybrid nature of their system 16 months later. Nintendo isn't going to have many issues selling Switch's when Pokemon launches either way.

There are new colors and bundles they can play before significantly undercutting the main marketing gimmick.

Even though they wont cut the price, I feel that's a way more valuable strategy than cutting the dock this early.

MSRP is not the added cost of peripherals.
Switch dock is not adding $90/yen equivalent to the switch's cost

They are literally sending this out to die lol

 

[KtSlime]

They won't lower the price of the Switch when they launch Pokemon, that would be stupid, and Nintendo probably is not stupid. Sell Switch at full price, launch pokemon, if, and only if the Switch isn't selling as fast as they think they should then they can do something. But there are a million things they can do to improve sales before lowering the price. Coupons for digital games, different colors, bundles, special editions, etc. Once you lower the price you can't raise it again, it is a final measure.

ARMS back in!

EDIT: 120% is an insane bump, what happened?

 

[Gotdatmoney]

I don't get this idea that the Switch needs to be cheap for pokemon. The software sales of all these Switch games and the typical Nintendo holiday boost suggest to me it wont be tough to push Switch without a price cut. It's also not like there will only be one pokemon game on Switch or that it'll stop selling. They don't have to try and reduce the price for the holidays. They can cut the price in the spring if need be.

FIFA Switch is also back and is close to 100k. The game already passed this mark according to Dengeki but it's a very good sign seeing hanging around. It will sell well during the World Cup.

I don't quite remember where it was on the shelves when released, but typically the Biohazard games are in the action adventure genre in Japan. Or have been for as long as I remember.
