So, Hino confirmed that Ushiro is not actually in development and won't be properly revealed until YW4 and Ares are released, meaning it's a 2020 title at the earliest.
He also confirmed that the online 20th anniversary title is a different project that also won't be announced until their current big games are released.

So Minecraft sold about 92k (physical+digital) during one of the slowest month of the year (Week 35-39).

I wonder what is the ceiling for this one.

To the shock of no one. I can see Ushiro easily slip into 2021 if their anniversary title is as big as they claim.

Media Create Sales: CY 2017 (2017 Jan 02 - 2017 Dec 31)

Systems

NSW
01. Nintendo - 5.921.263 <80,79%>
02. Capcom - 254.167 <3,47%>
03. Square Enix - 238.901 <3,26%>
04. Pokemon Co. - 191.485 <2,61%>
05. Koei Tecmo - 142.795 <1,95%>
06. Konami - 135.496 <1,85%>
07. Bandai Namco Games - 132.941 <1,81%>
08. Sega - 83.363 <1,14%>
09. Electronic Arts - 62.783 <0,86%>
10. Warner Entertainment Japan - 49.944 <0,68%>
00. Other - 115.745 <1,58%>
00. All Publishers - 7.328.882 <100,00%>

Just for last quarter Bandai Namco sold more than 400k on Switch in Japan, counting shipments+digital they are well over 500k.

Basically almost every company will have big rise on Switch at the end of 2018 with notable exception the obvious.

Will it be possible for Ushiro to get delayed twice then cancelled again? With "L"evel 5, you can never know

Do you think a 3rd party publisher (other than TPC) will cross the 1m mark this year ?

For the year or overall? I think SE has a decent chance to hit 1M overall but won't hit 1M for 2018:
2017 - 238.901
DQB >50K
Octopath Traveler >200K
DQB2 ?

I reckon Octopath will pass 250K by the end of 2018, DQB will pass 100K, DQB2 as I've said previously I think can easily be their biggest game of the year despite coming out in the final weeks of the year. Than you have a bunch of smaller games that combined would probably surpass 100K.

Bamco i think? They still have neko tomo and that momotaro densetsu clone right? Those game can do well close to holiday.

I was only thinking about 2018, overall shipment (physical + digital).

Bamco has an absurd amount of releases until the end of the year plus leggy titles like Taiko.

SE is too far behind but 2019 could be a good year for them on Switch.

Still, Microsoft can surprise but it'll depend on how much units the Switch will sell in November-December.

If you are talking physical + digital - I'm certain Minecraft will finish the year above 1M. Might even get close physically if it maintains high attach rate during the holidays as a title that's widely popular with kids.

BN will clear 1m this year on Switch in Japan. Maybe Microsoft will be there too.

Somewhere. I think.
Guess we know which game will top next week's eShop charts... Puyo Puyo eSports launch discount: 500 Yen until November 30th. Regular price: 1 999 Yen. That's one hell of a bargain. And no, it's not 500 Yen discount, 500 Yen is the discounted price.



A DRPG. Interesting.
https://www.famitsu.com/news/201804/20156107.html

Edit: Wait, apparently it is a new entry of a series originally from the PS era. The page says the series had sold 100k across three entries.

Yup, game was announced a while ago, this year. Rather surprising choice since not only series has been dead for a while, but it didn't seem particularly popular.

Yeah, I guess certain high-up at Arc System Works really like the series. I doubt this will perform greatly, too.
