While we do not have the different in retail sales versus digital sales for Metal Max Xeno, here are the retail sales debuts for previous Metal Max titles, according to Japanese sales tracker Media Create:

  • Metal Max 4: Gekkou no Diva (3DS) – 23,092
  • Metal Max 3 (DS) – 50,838
  • Metal Max 2: Reloaded (DS) – 27,115
  • Metal Max 2: Break (GBA) – 9,524
  • Metal Max Returns (SFC) – 20,228

You seem to be quoting Famitsu numbers, not media create. I am looking at Metal Max 4 (3DS) on media create and it debuted at 17.867 units.

Assuming you're using gamedatalibrary, that uses Famitsu numbers for the game search function:

The data on this page contains all the data found on the subpages of Software by Platform, it exist to showcase all the information in one page if needed. As with the information of those pages this one contains official shipment data for games released before 1996 and Famitsu data for those released later. Digital is included when available.

Looks like a pretty solid March. All systems are pretty close in sales. Kirby looks to have broken out. MLB is all hits, no walks. Far Cry 5 was definitely beasting.

Edit: Lmao. Wrong thread. Oh well.

RIP Puzzle Fighter.

http://www.capcom-unity.com/jefferysimpson/blog/2018/04/20/puzzle-fighter-sunset-announcement

Firstly, we'd like to thank all the fans who have supported and enjoyed our Puzzle Fighter mobile game thus far. As huge fans of Puzzle Fighter ourselves, the team here at Capcom Game Studio Vancouver is proud to have created a new version of the game that's unique and enjoyable.

As the studio is dedicating its focus to our flagship Dead Rising franchise, we have decided to sunset Puzzle Fighter. The game will be removed from app stores on July 1 and servers will be shut down on July 31.

Well, there's definitely not going to be a Japanese release now.

Well the way investors behave, I wouldn't be surprised if the rise is from people banking on Labo being a breakout hit right from the start. Since, while I expect it to succeed eventually, I don't expect Labo to be a breakout hit right from the start, the next stage will be a similar or worse drop in the stock...

Then again, maybe some people have positive information (Labo or just general Nintendo related) we are not privy to yet.

Or it could be because of the upcoming Nintendo investors meeting and a possible Pokemon announcement infront of it.

Even Media Create and Famitsu subscribers don't even have any data at the moment, so even the investors that do have access to the early reports don't know anything. Tuesday is the earliest you can expect official, reliable, and not based on too small a sample to be representative of the success of Nintendo Labo, report with the usual Famitsu report (provided there's one... I think it's an important enough release to warrant it, but we'll know). Most likely won't be anything before Wednesday, though, since most recent early reports have come on Wednesday instead of the usual Tuesday.

XC2 OST cover is really nice.


Still need to buy this...
