Media Create Sales: Week 12, 2018 (Mar 19 - Mar 25)
- Thread starter Chris1964
- Start date
I think the Famitsu number for Splatoon 2 (+21%) suggests that there were a number of bundles throughout last week (last week's bundles were very concentrated on amazon Japan, which Famitsu doesn't track but MC does). The small percentage on MC also suggests that there were some units available since the +37% from the week before would imply a bigger drop this week than 5%, unless there was something to prop it up (the bundles).

I think the baseline will likely stick around 40-50 for awhile but LABO might boost it a bit
There's really no excuse regarding MMLC1+2. All 10 games plus emulators plus extra stuff could fit on an 8GB card. The games plus emulators themselves could fit on a 2GB card even with plenty of room to spare.
We've seen 3rd parties release 8GB games at retail for $39.99 too so it's not a price/size issue either. Capcom had a legitimate issue with the RER Collection (they'd have needed to use a 64GB to fit all of both games) but even there RER1 used a 16GB card and they released the collection for $39.99.
It is pretty interesting that the Splatoon bundle is so sought after since it's like above MSRP. I guess the game being so popular helps
Yeah, I've been wondering about this: the bundle doesn't actually represent any extra value as far as I can tell, so why does it boost sales? Just because of the stickers and the art on the box?
I recall hearing that they were on different engines and packaging them in one game would likely take extra work that they weren't willing to put in.
Is there a 1+2 collection for PS4 in one disc?
Didn't they sell the Splatoon 2 bundle box, as in just the box, last year?
To be fair, the box looks amazing.
The Splatoon 2 bundle is also the only SKU with the pink/green joy cons.
Yeah, those are good reasons. There are probably people who prefer the pink/green joy-cons and could be moved to buy the bundle for that reason (they probably already wanted a Switch lol), and the box probably helps, too.
Can someone explain to me why Just Dance isn't releasing yearly in Japan ?
Even if the game is very far from the height of its Golden Wii era, it is still a decent seller.
Even if the game is very far from the height of its Golden Wii era, it is still a decent seller.
Would be interesting to know if there are smaller cards available to publishers. The MegaMan collection is a bad joke and a deal breaker.
Because of music licenses and song popularity, I assume? I think Ubisoft never released the western Just Dance games in Japan. They did release two Just Dance games on Wii and one on Wii U with a specific songlist for the Japanese market.
Sorry, was thinking about the American price which is essentially MSRP+$10 since it brings a case
are you talking about the bundle or the starter sku(the one that has the guild book)

They're from different devs (MMLC1 = Digital Eclipse, MMLC2 = Now Production) but it's still an insane excuse. They're charging $40, they can afford to throw in a frontend selection screen and have both game files on the card.
Games have shipped on 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 GB cards so far. They scale in price with capacity (like 3DS did), with 8GB being below/close to what Sony/MS charge on a $40+ disc release.

There isn't a Starter SKU, the guide is included only in the bundle.
I mean there was another splatoon 2 bundle being released last year
Well thats interesting info. As FEW price had drop by quite a lot here in SEA. I guess Jp market works totally different there.

Heard that most the western companies generally pick a commercial partner to launch their games around Japan, like Square-Enix.
They are publishing a lot of their franchises in Japan tho (AC, Far Cry, For Honor, Watch Dogs, R6S...) and some of them are good sellers.
I should have said very little presence until recently. Maybe about 4 years ago with the release of the PS4 have they started to make more of a presence here. That said, it seems they have not been trying the same for any platforms other than PS4 here, at least not yet.
SE is the most notable one because it partners with Activision Blizzard. I think Spike Chunsoft published The Wither 3. But Ubisoft, Take Two, EA and Bethesda all publish their own games in Japan. Maybe because their games are selling better now.
After the sales of Valkyria Chronicles 4 and Ni no Kuni II in Japan, I'm certain now that PS4 can't carry the market there alone at all.

It can't. It was obvious from its first 3 years. This is why there is minimal interest in talking about PS4, because it is already done. Reaching 10 million or not is significant for the console and it's fans, doesn't matter in the big picture. Japanese companies only support it because it is doing well overseas.
Not like the NSW can though, given the slow support. Its best case is the NDS, where 3P cones late yet find an audience. Yet the NSW isn't selling like the NDS, so it is not sure thing.
The worst case is Wii, where the identity of the console is so fixed that most JP3P games that come late simply don't sell despite install base, because the audience that would have brought their games are already alienated by the "identity" of the Wii, and was not built up early.
Its a toss up how it will end.

People had doubts about that? I mean, the only notable leg on the PS4 is Monster Hunter and people are still wondering about how much time it will be on the top 20.
No one ever expected it. Thing is if the japanese third party still care about having a decent dedicated home market and I feel like they don't.
Well... it doesn't seem like Japanese companies are realizing that :P
I don't really think this will happen at all. Switch doesn't have a fixed identity like the Wii really. it will get Pokemon and probably Yokai Watch too.
also, the Switch is a modern hardware, and it runs 1080/900p and 1080p is the most widespread TV resolution for now. the gap is nowhere as big as it was that generation.

It ends how they want it to end I say. They don't release games in a proper manner, they won't sell and build a userbase to sell to. They don't have a userbase to sell to they won't release games.

They have two options: Or continue to develop to the PS4 solely and eventually port it to PC and maaaybe Xbox One to aim the global market or develop to PS4 and Switch and for a simultaneous release.
I expect neither, being honest. They will continue to develop solely for the PS4 and putting shovelware and late ports on the Switch.
Last week's thread saw a pretty extensive (and animated, as usual) discussion about third party support on Switch, with Bandai Namco among the ones criticised the most for their current output, strongly port-focused with other titles still missing the system. I wanted to re-state what we know about Bamco's future support since November + a theory on the matter.
What Mochizuki reported
Statements from Bandai Namco themselves
http://www.bandainamco.co.jp/en/ir/library/pdf/presentation/en_20171107_Presentation.pdf
Page 7. "Beginning of development of original titles for Nintendo Switch" is listed under the "Introduction of multiple worldwide titles" in the Network Entertainment cathegory
http://www.bandainamco.co.jp/ir/library/pdf/presentation/20171107_4QA.pdf
Page 1. Based on Google Translate, but it should be accurate enough. Feel free to correct me if there's anything wrong
The Q&A session from November stated how in the short term Namco would've brought mainly ports to the system, and this is exactly what's been happening for a while: not only "One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 Deluxe Edition" was announced at the end of October and "Gotouchi Tetsudou for Nintendo Switch!!" was already a thing since a few months earlier, but after the financial meeting ports of SD Gundam G Generation Genesis, Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy, Little Nightmares and Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 have been unveiled / released. So, things went exactly as Bandai Namco stated for the fiscal year, with a heavy focus on older titles re-releasing on the system while shifting resources in order to have new games for the next fiscal year. So far, the Fiscal Year from April 1st, 2018 to March 31st, 2019 has two original titles coming to the system: "Taiko no Tatsujin Nintendo Switch Version!!" (exclusive) and "My Hero Academia: One's Justice" (multiplatform), with "Dark Souls Remastered" which is...eh, I don't know in which cathegory it should go, wheter it's a port or an "original game" since it's a remastered. Frankly, I assume the former though.
Anyways, given what said in the answer, we should get more announcements / releases of "original" games from Bamco starting from the upcoming Fiscal Year (by that I mean both games releasing in the FY and games getting unveiled, but not released during the FY), including the "3 big titles coming/developing worldwide, exclusively for Switch".
Now, as mentioned at the start of this post, my own theory: speaking of those titles coming from Mochizuki's reports, first of all "Taiko no Tatsujin" shouldn't be one of them since the franchise is not worldwide due to being Japan/Asian-exclusive. Neither MHA or Dark Souls should be considered as such, since they're multiplatform games. Between the mention of exclusives and how, going by Mochizuki's words, resources for Switch games are not impacting development of software on PS/Xbox/Steam, I'm starting to think that, alongside releases with multiplatform releases across all platforms, there might be two parallel development pipelines going on / developing: one dedicated specifically towards titles for PS4 / Xbox One / Steam and another for Switch-exclusive content. As already said, this doesn't mean we couldn't see games released across all of them, both simultaneously or later (Dragon Ball Fighter Z could be an example of a PS4/Xbox One/Steam --> Switch later release), but it might mean that, for example, as PS4/Xbox One/Steam get Code Vein and God Eater 3, the Switch gets Taiko no Tatsujin and Ridge Racer 8 (to use a strongly-rumoured game as an example).

The Q&A session from November stated how in the short term Namco would've brought mainly ports to the system, and this is exactly what's been happening for a while: not only "One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 Deluxe Edition" was announced at the end of October and "Gotouchi Tetsudou for Nintendo Switch!!" was already a thing since a few months earlier, but after the financial meeting ports of SD Gundam G Generation Genesis, Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy, Little Nightmares and Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 have been unveiled / released. So, things went exactly as Bandai Namco stated for the fiscal year, with a heavy focus on older titles re-releasing on the system while shifting resources in order to have new games for the next fiscal year. So far, the Fiscal Year from April 1st, 2018 to March 31st, 2019 has two original titles coming to the system: "Taiko no Tatsujin Nintendo Switch Version!!" (exclusive) and "My Hero Academia: One's Justice" (multiplatform), with "Dark Souls Remastered" which is...eh, I don't know in which cathegory it should go, wheter it's a port or an "original game" since it's a remastered. Frankly, I assume the former though.
Anyways, given what said in the answer, we should get more announcements / releases of "original" games from Bamco starting from the upcoming Fiscal Year (by that I mean both games releasing in the FY and games getting unveiled, but not released during the FY), including the "3 big titles coming/developing worldwide, exclusively for Switch".
Now, as mentioned at the start of this post, my own theory: speaking of those titles coming from Mochizuki's reports, first of all "Taiko no Tatsujin" shouldn't be one of them since the franchise is not worldwide due to being Japan/Asian-exclusive. Neither MHA or Dark Souls should be considered as such, since they're multiplatform games. Between the mention of exclusives and how, going by Mochizuki's words, resources for Switch games are not impacting development of software on PS/Xbox/Steam, I'm starting to think that, alongside releases with multiplatform releases across all platforms, there might be two parallel development pipelines going on / developing: one dedicated specifically towards titles for PS4 / Xbox One / Steam and another for Switch-exclusive content. As already said, this doesn't mean we couldn't see games released across all of them, both simultaneously or later (Dragon Ball Fighter Z could be an example of a PS4/Xbox One/Steam --> Switch later release), but it might mean that, for example, as PS4/Xbox One/Steam get Code Vein and God Eater 3, the Switch gets Taiko no Tatsujin and Ridge Racer 8 (to use a strongly-rumoured game as an example).
Yeah it was literally a system custom designed for western markets, Sony sacrificed Japan for the west with everything about its design.
Japanese devs have given it their best go however, pretty much every top Japanese-centric franchise got a main exclusive entry, including the biggest ever budget and step up for Monster Hunter despite it being a home console, and it's by far the worst selling console of all time to get a main Dragon Quest at release.
This still looks like a bad deal to Nintendo. It's getting less games and with smaller budgets/smaller selling potential. Taiko is a good seller, but it's Japan only and I can't imagine a game like Ridge Racer being a decent seller today.
I still think these "exclusive games" are stuff like Smash and Prime 4, games that Nintendo is already paying for the development.
