Media Create Sales: Week 1, 2019 (Dec 31 - Jan 06)
- Thread starter Chris1964
- Start date
True.
It'll be interesting to see how much the game sold last quarter. It might well be close to 12m.
Breath of the Wild Switch in this graph actually includes Switch and Wii U numbers, last we know Switch BotW is at 10.28 million at the end of Semptember 2018.
The others are not combined sales of releases and re-releases, so this graph is a little bit misleading. Whats true is that Switch BotW is the single best selling Zelda release with 10.28 million, followed by Twilight Princess. Highest combined Zelda with rerelease is Orcarina of time with 13.22 million.
Still absolutely stellar franchise growth.
you know that there was a Wiiu version and the total sales are probably already around 15m right?
Nah, Switch is at 10.28, Wii U was last reported at 1.5, might be 2 now but not more. 20 million is very unlikely.

Prediction time. :^)
PS4 - 40K
NSW - 40K
Because enough spending has happened.
And no, I'm really not good at prediction. I'm just having fun.
those are sales as september. last year q3 it sold 1,9m
switch version is probably at 12 right now. 20m is very likely especially with a low price Lines in the future
It's is not misleading in the slightest. Breath of The Wild on this graph doesn't include re-release.
It released day and date on Switch & Wii U therefor it makes sense to combine them just like everyone else does with Smash on Wii U & 3DS.

Combining Smash on Wii U and 3DS doesn't make a lot of sense either.
Garaph data is increasingly incomplete, but this one looks strong. Released April 2005. By Famitsu's count crossed the barrier sometime in the first half of 2011.
The biggie is probably that Media Create numbers start 2002, but PS2 launched in 2000.
Japanese third parties looking at those Switch HW and SW sales like
Isn't it a little late for those not already in though? PS5 might not be that far away into the future, sure obviously not this year but 2020?
Oh so it was a temporal thing.
I'm confused, what's on the x axis ? Days ?Garaph data is increasingly incomplete, but this one looks strong. Released April 2005. By Famitsu's count crossed the barrier sometime in the first half of 2011.
Still listing BotW Switch and Wii U seperatly while combining sales under BotW Switch is slightly weird.
This is what I've always thought, that they would cut the price down on the current model and introduce a pro type model for $300.
The one thing is I think they want to phase this current revision out cause of the hardware/hacking flaw. But seeing the software sales, I wouldn't pay the hacking shit any mind if I was Nintendo. Let it be, it's not affecting sales at all
Yeah, the software sales we see here certainly aren't making Nintendo bite their nails over pirates. I do wonder if they'd make a revision on a smaller node to help with battery life on a theoretical cheaper version since no one wants to make 20nm chips anymore.
Top Yearly Performances (Famitsu, >500k):
Note! The Nintendo Switch sales are pretty comparable to the 6th Gen top performers.
GBA and PS2 both launched in march. After year 4 the GBA sales faltered quickly because of the DS launch while the PS2 was an evergreen console.
Nintendo noted that they want to extend the life for the Switch for as long as possible. This is in line with Nintendos recent efforts to extend the life of the 3DS although this was quite a diffcult task due to its already at launch dated hardware and its low screen resolution. The 3DS hardware was never valued highly by consumers hence the early price cut. In contrast to the 3DS the Switch hardware is appreciated by consumers and with its screen consumers can enjoy cinematic experiences.
For these reasons i think the NSW sales should be measured by the PS2 sales because they were steady and the PS2 was long supported.There is also no other way for the Switch to achieve 20 million console sales in japan. The last two years the Switch achieved good results reaching nearly the same levels as the PSP in their best year on the back of the Monster Hunter hype.
In the next year the Switch should achieve between 3.732.020 and 3.833.980 sales as the PS2 and the GBA did, below is bad and above is good. The 3DS achieved 4,931,509 sales in its third year but as I explained above the 3DS should be (hopefully) more fontloaded than the Switch.
Next year could also be the peak year for the Switch so hopefully the NSW gets into the top 10 of the chart below. The NSW needs to sell 4,025,313 units at minimum. The best case would be to outperform place 7 with 4,200,311 units sold.

Correct, days since game launch. It's the sort of thing that makes more sense when looking at early numbers and not thousands of days.
Agreed, Probably will be sub 20k already.
I'm not expecting a big bump for KH3 and RE2 either. Around ~50k.
Holy ffff...!!!
Btw, I remember when ppl said Kimishima were crazy saying that switch could do wii numbers
I don't really think the PS5 is going to affect Switch support by Japanese developers in any meaningful way.
Yeah I remember that too. I think he said it before launch and man people were mocking him like crazy considering how negative everyone was before launch.
Okay. Why is media create tracking switch significantly lower than the other two? 30k lower in week 51, 10+k lower in week 52, and now 47k lower than dengeki at least for week 1. That's an 87k discrepancy in a matter of 3 weeks.
I wouldn't call it misleading though, especially since BOTW released on Switch & Wii U together.
Hidemaro Fujibayashi said development began in January 2013.
I'd say they should be combined as long as we're combining Twilight Princess and the Oracle games.
Re-releases years later are completely different
Should have kept at least price promotion going on until the big hitters release (KH and RE) to maximise their hw moving potential. oh well.
Switch looks a lot like the PS2, this year and the next are going to be great for it. 4 million should be feasible this year. Lower the price + new model + real Pokemon is going to be insane. Unlike previous Nintendo consoles, 3rd parties are filling the gaps here, and Nintendo is doing a great job at releasing quality software in a timely manner.
OP
OP
Promotion likely happened for PS4 hitting internal targets since sales had dropped to very low levels before December. If it did its work and from the moment it didn't had any serious impact at selling software there was no reason to continue.
It's not an online multiplayer game, its sales won't hit a wall because of a new entry in the series. Super Mario Galaxy sold 30% of its LTD sales (3.89m/12.78m) after the launch of its sequel, and (non-bundled/non-Wii series) Wii games like SMG didn't have legs nearly as good as Switch games like BotW.
BotW on Switch rn is probably around 12 million shipped and will be at over 16 (maybe even 17 or 18) million by December 2019, before "BotW2".

PS4 biggest disadvantage this year isn't the end of promotion but the lack of titles that can push hardware.
I count only KH3 and RE2 but even combined they are far from the bump MHW gave to PS4 in January and February.
Like i said week 2 drop will give a very good idea of what to expect this quarter.

How big would The Last of Us 2 be in Japan ? The first one seemed to have sold close to 400k combined, do we expect a lower or a higher number for TLOU2 ?
why not? 7 and PS4 ports for 0,1,4,5,6 are already available.
Yeah, maybe. I was just thinking about cutting cost and cutting size a bit too(like right now, not in 2 years, the 3DS buyers are left out of the water without a new revision so why not make a small switch instead?). Transporting the switch and joycons seperately doesn't sound so great either. I haven't used my Switch outside my home very often, because of its size. I carried my Vita around me(mainly with P4G loaded) quite a lot in the past, even though it was one of the larger handhelds it was a lot smaller than the Switch.
Could you keep the Wii in the graphs still, I think that would be interesting to watch, at least for another year or so?
True but RE ports are non-events these days and RE7 wasn't really a traditional RE game (it didn't sell much after all). KH ports were kept selling well on PS4.

It's still unknown when the game will be out, it could go higher from the first. If you ask if it will push hardware it won't.
Nintendo should shift this franchise to tier 1 and favor less and more quality releases for the Mario Party franchise. The sales of "Super Mario Party" prove that the franchise was mismanaged for a very long time. Even this new entry of Super Mario Party lacks content in comparison to games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. So I assume a more quality release of this franchise could have done much better.
I will shift NDS with PS2.
NDS is so high that is above the limit of the graph, so it makes little sense to keep it.
I could also make the graph bigger to keep NDS, but then it would look too small, so I prefer to remove it (also its sales are unreachable so it makes sense).

Much better than what Super Mario Party is doing everywhere isn't possible.
It will be over 5m last quarter.
Wait sub 20k next week for ps4?
Exactly. The same way switch hasn't affected the ps4 support.
Smash Ultimate and Splatoon 2 closing in on 3M. Crazy.
I wonder how long Mario Odyssey will take to reach 2M?
I wonder how long Mario Odyssey will take to reach 2M?
Probably cause the awesome deal they had ends after last week.
Even filler titles in the franchise sold pretty good---also, budget is not very high so they can release a Mario Party every two year easily.
So the world wide chase for BotW is 13.22 million. Then it will be the undisputed leader in the Zelda franchise sales race, for any possible comparison combination.
BTW, are there any charts on how the ratios are divided historically between the sales regions for the main entries in the Nintendo franchises? For example: how is BotW doing in Japan relatively to the rest of the world, compared to Twilight Princess?
I'm not gonna lie, going from 117k to sub 20k would be really disappointing especially with 3 good games coming in January. AC7, RE2 and KH3.
