Media Create Sales: Week 1, 2019 (Dec 31 - Jan 06)

I'm convinced at this point that the only Pro-Nintendo faction of Konami was Iga's castlevania team, and whatever is left of the Hudson people not at Good Feel aren't allowed to voice their opinion. They haven't properly supported a Nintendo platform in years, and are even letting EA have a monopoly in the football game.
the sooner Nintendo reveals the NX, the sooner this mess well end
Another poster linked up the full explanation but Japanese kids are handed out money by their relatives as a new year tradition.
Last year in january consoles were still hard to find, us I think that the last big game released was Odyssey in october?
Oh sorry, were you talking about the last week of 2018?
If so, the post above has your answer
I mean, until this actually happens, I dont get why you're tossing this out there. The way sales, declines and expectations flip in just a few weeks makes saying stuff like this so pointless. Go and look at the original expectations around here for builders 2. Was way out of line with what actually happened. How can you even toss this out with a straight face knowing its literally impossible to substantiate?
I said this last time we had this discussion but DQ has been on Sony systems for the last 4-5 years. This is a direct sequel to a game that already launched on PS4, none of the other systems builders 1 launched on received the sequel. This is the first DQ game on the Switch that is not a late port. The builders series (and the heroes series) were never on Nintendo hardware until very recently.
What logic dictates the Switch version should have had a much bigger showing than the PS4? You keep saying brand awareness. How do you quantify that into a sales expectation? The logic you are producing make no sense to me. The 3DS and DS got exclusive DQ releases and remakes. The Switch has ports. Now on a multiplat game the Switch is suppose to take the lion share away from the PS4 with way more original content and mainline games? The total amount of DQ sold on Switch up until Builders was under 200k :/
No, from a japanese perspective the 20 mil goal isn't looking good.
They would need a 33% increase YoY to meet the goal and they are up 4% more or less compared to last fiscal year
Pokemon disnt have the expected impact, I guess, in Japan
Now, worldwide the increase YoY seems way higher than in Japan, as Pomemon performance seems stronger, and the 20 millions goal is distributed and not sold through, so..
It could still happen, or fall short by a small margin, especially if Mario U dx will drive hw sales during Q4
I think I understand the chart now. It was comparing last week this year to last week last year. But since it doesn't include the words "last week" I thought at first it was in regards to the whole of last year.
Thanks :)
I don't know why people continue to use GPD WIN 2 as some example of that some specific game can run on Switch just fine when Intel Core m3-7Y30 (CPU of GPW WIN 2) runs circles around Switch CPU and that is probably the biggest bottleneck of Switch.
the biggest bottleneck is the memory bandwidth. the CPU is fine for the specs of the Switch. if necessary, they can increase the clock speed through a die shrink
as for the GPD Win, it has to contend with Windows running in the background, hurting the gains the CPU bring
Is that the last dated Vita game as of now? or are there more slated for later?
It's always been a ballpark. Generally if you can get something up and running on GPD 2 the Switch should be within the range. Obviously there are give and takes though.
I remember when Konami was considered one of the "intelligent" third party for putting Bomberman on Switch and capitalize sales at launch.
And now here we are with no more games from them, no jikkyou baseball and nobody should expect Winning Eleven either this year.
Fair enough.
Perhaps I overestimate the continuity of audience you would expect between 3DS and Switch but it absolutely makes sense that that the audience would naturally carry over. You do have a good point that the Builders subseries was PS only until earlier this year.
On that note I guess the new Monsters might show the difference, and the Switch will have a significant install base advantage by that point too.
You made my point about 10x more eloquently than I was able to!
they were. just turned out to be a fluke. shit, couldn't even put out a cheap, unity-based Castlevania game or anything
So far they've sold 3.036.698 this FY in Japan, lets say that they maintain a baseline of around 60K for the remaining 12 weeks of the FY that would equal to 3.756.698 units in Japan. This would translate to a paltry increase of around 7% for the FY in Japan. Lets say that they actually ship 4 million(Nintendo Official Store, Amazon.co.jp, retailers taking on bigger shipment than usual for the end of the FY in anticipation of the Golden Week period) instead of 3.75 million that's an increase of around 13.5%. It still leaves 16 Million across NA, Europe and the RotW. So a lot is riding on the RotW for the FY target, personally I think they will surpass 20 million shipped but the actual sell through will be between 18 & 19 million.
I can see Nintendo having a trump card for Golden Week, that would make retailers want to stock larger quantity in Japan for the end of the FY.
You mean NdCube. ;) Good-Feel do have a key chunk of the Geomon team, as well as folks who worked on Castlevania: Circle of the Moon on GBA though. :)
No, I actually don't think you're over estimating the natural carry over. I think you're over estimating how much DQB has a PS association.
Or basically this yeah. My problem with DQB2 is imo the raw numbers should be higher across the board so it makes the totals look unimpressive on each system. For the type of product it is you would think it would perform better. It is outrageously expensive though. If we were looking at 300k on each platform right now, I don't think the split would mean anything.
By the time Monsters launches, the userbase difference will be too big to really matter to your point though wont it?
Gotta say I am a bit hype for that game.. then again I loved the Track & Field games from back in the days so maybe I am alone hah =)
Honestly thought it would have arrived at this point..
OP
OP
I don't think there's anything else announced but you never know with all these visual novels.
Arguably yes, but I didn't want to to be seen as offering it as an excuse in the event the Switch versions outperforms the PS4 version to a significant extent.
If they don't bother porting the Fox engine they can't port anything else
They rather like to port mgs and silent hill to pachinko slot machines here in Japan, which is really hilarious when I first saw it.
https:///tales-of-vesperia-definitive-edition-switch-shortage-begins-in-japan/
Supposedly Vesperia is selling out in Japan. But is it specifically the Switch version? Anyone able to look at the JP sites showing this and clarify please?

Man what a bomb...
Man what a bomb...
Yep, board game-type. Released end of November.
Yes. Lots of weird discrepencies with the three trackers this season. It's curious.
Don't worry, only a question of time until they bring their Switch support to other consoles.
OP

Isn't this the same site that claimed the other time Smash faces supply problems?
Dunno. Nintendo Soup can exaggerate things IIRC. I'm only concerned about what the Japanese sites show, hence why I brought it here to verify if what Nintendo Soup says is true.
Wow 152k is insane. Honestly never thought I'd see a tracker put ps4 over that again.
Yes Nintendosoup is pretty bad. They reported Senran Kagura Peach Ball (the Switch one) was out of stock before it sold 10K or w/e. There were other times things were out of stock online and they assumed that meant retail, or seeing some tweet somewhere. I'd take them with a huge grain of salt....
