So there was actually a little bit of shake-up in Japanese mobile this month.
First up, NetEase's Battle Royale game is now a top 10 performer in Japan.
BanG Dream also managed to overtake IDOLM@STER in the rhythm genre, while Monster Strike managed to regain its crown from Fate/Grand Order.
Over on the publisher side, Bandai Namco managed to maintain their #1 position in Japan this month. I believe that's the first time this has ever happened.
There are actually enough megahits at this point that you can be really successful and not make the Top 10.Will we see Princess connect next month? I though it was doing great.
I mean, it seems pretty likely to me that Labo will be ahead of GoW every week starting from launch week: GoW is a pretty small (dare I say niche lol) franchise in Japan: GoW3 did 45k FW, and expectations from YSO are that GoW PS4 will do similarly. Labo, meanwhile, is pegged by YSO at a launch of around 120k, and will sell for a much longer period of time as well.I am also pretty curious ... lots of magazine covers for a game that feels that will sell less than labo in the long run =P
I see.
Long temp ban for an off topic thing.Speaking of niche, Psycho_Mantis has been MIA for a long time here, hasn't he? Did he get a permaban or something?

Well, today in Japan, big AAA western games are a niche that the PS4 appeals to.That's what I was talking about ... lots of magazine covers for a niche xD
not surprised bandori overtook deresute last month. 1st anniv + permanent rate change on top of dreamfes rate up definitely made playerbase go into spending modeSo there was actually a little bit of shake-up in Japanese mobile this month.

Vaan is worst than Lightning lol. And i think that should not be a bad take at all.^_^
And the last good FF for me is 10. 12 started the downfall.
You are completely right.
Every single FF after X got worse, culminating in the terrible clusterfuck that was FF XV.
I think you mean after 9. There was a bit of dip in quality between 6 and 8 as well.
People will be too busy playing Splatoon 2 to buy Octopath. Poor Octopath never stood a chanceSadly I can, yes. With XV and it's unfortunate and relatively good perception by the masses, in addition to it's good sales numbers, I came to the conclusion that the series simply isn't something for me anymore.
I'm looking to other SE output like DQ or Octopath Traveler instead.
Edit: Mobile posting is difficult...
Edit 2: And I really really hope Octopath Traveler will sell well, the demo was fantastic and I'm looking forward to see and follow it's sales beginning in July of this year.

I feel like it will be big tooOctopath will have a strong launch, I am m pretty confident about it. >200k FW is my guess.
Octopath will benefit from Octo Expansion being DLC and Splatoon 2 having a high attach rate. There's no fear of cannibalism at retail*. But over 200K feels optimistic to me. I'll bet on 150k then leg it to 275K before falling offOctopath will have a strong launch, I am pretty confident about it. >200k FW is my guess.
It happened in a thread about a controversial ""intellectual"", he handpicked statements he thought he could refute ( poorly and disingenuously) and ignored swaths of posters who went to great lengths to engage in an actual conversation/ debate.Speaking of niche, Psycho_Mantis has been MIA for a long time here, hasn't he?

Maybe Sony is figuring it's not worth bothering anymore. :p
Sweet
Can't be worse than the previous week... Can it?
PS4 revival incoming in the next couple of weeks lol. MH is huge and will help lift the baseline for the PS4 for a while longer and Sony got caught off guard.
I remember someone saying stock would be replenished during Golden Week, so they might be shipping very small numbers in the meantime. Gonna be rough next week for numbers if true.

So par for the course, really.

FFXV is a far better game than FF13 and even FF12. You can roam that world fighting monsters and have tons of fun, while in prior games grinding was tedious.
Interesting perspectives.
PS4 clearly has stock problems. Sony probably underestimated MHWs effect and now their shipment has gone dry. Shouldn't take long to replenish as there isn't much else going on right now though.
PS4 to have a record breaking week then? In the negatives I mean. What's the lowest it's sold in a week thus far?
Probably what it sold last week.
Irc last week was lower than the Lowest week of Last year.

It was absolutely not the lowest it sold. In its first year the PS4 was regularly doing four digits numbers.
Depends on how much MHW went over expectations. PS4 had two weeks over 100k, which is a massive amount of units, and in general the system was up YoY every week until a couple of weeks ago. As such, their plans for extra shipments in April might not have been enough to cover the gap between estimated and real demand in Q1. Add to that the fact that the west will get every unit it can with the launch of GOW, and I can see how this situation came about and why it hasn't been resolved yet.Why would they still have stock problems now though ?
MHW launched last quarter, so should the shippment for this quarter not be unaffected by MHW ?
Because people were waiting for the Slim.Wow, thats brutal.
And why was pre Slim so terribad ? 560 seems like a number XB should do, not PS.

We had reports from trackers that say it had stock issues. Pretty much nothing to doubt. It is what it is.
The stock is clearly more of an issue than we originally thought. Not that when PS4 gets more stock it'll suddenly rise to heaven or anything but yes there is a stock issue
Not really. Let's move on though.
