Somewhere. I think.
Amazon offering some extra parts and some masking tape (and special packaging) if you order Nintendo Labo with them:

It's not much, but still pretty neat. Not sure why I didn't think of retailers offering extra Nintendo Labo part / customisation things...

For those of you wondering, the robot is from Yotsuba&! (though if you watched Nyanbo!, that's probably what it will make you think of).

More Dengeki data for FY 2017:

- Nintendo #1 with 30.9% market share (+13.4%), so 1/3 of total Software sales. 3 million sellers (Splatoon 2, SMO, MK8D). 15th year in a row as top-publisher
- Squeenix #2 with 14.7% market share (+3.5%), thanks to DQ11 (+3 million units sold)
- Capcom #3 (no market share, but they jumped from #6 to #3. Thank you, MHW)
- Level-5 #7 with 3.9% market share (#5 and 8.7% market share previous FY)
- Konami #10 with 1.6% market share (#8 and 3.1% market share previous FY)

- publishers in Top 10 the same as during previous FY
- less companies in FY17: from 61 to 51
- Top 10 publishers = 87.1% of SW sales
- Top 3 publishers: 55.5% of SW sales

http://dengekionline.com/elem/000/001/715/1715817/

So the complete market share maybe

Nintendo #1 30.9%
SE #2 14.7%
Capcom #3 9.9%
TPC #4 (9-10%)
BNEI #5 (5-6%)
SCE #6 (4-5%)
Level-5 #7 3.9%
Sega #8 (2-3%)
Altus #9 (2-3%)
Konami #10 1.6%

Is it right?

Also reading through the release it sounds like MLB is ahead in revenue(makes sense since multiple editions, while Kirby is ahead in sales units.

MLB could also be ahead in units iirc.

Rockstar Games Employee 1: Hoy, our games hasn't been in the Top 20 in ages! We gotta do something.
Rockstar Games Employee 2: I got ya covered fam.



GTA V Premium Online Edition on June 14th. GTA V + online + starter pack.

I assume it's the same as that edition that leaked a while ago via rating agencies.


Box art looks hot.

There is a big potential for own advertisement for Online Shops.

Maybe doing own Shipment Labo boxes with cool patterns

Konami's market share halved YoY, but that's only in the console space, right?

In 2016, they had Power Pro 2016, which did 500k, and Winning Eleven. In 1 April 2017 - 31 March 2018, they had a declining Winning Eleven, and Super Bomberman R's legs and Metal Gear Survive can't make up for the success of Power Pro.

Obviously next week Power Pro 2018 will be released and while it most likely will be a decline compared to 2016, I think it'll be significant enough to make Konami's market share rise again. The big question is how much further Winning Eleven will decline now that FIFA also has the J-League (I think they have for a couple of years already?) and Konami has lost the Champions League license...

Maybe another more-or-less 'revival' of an old series (like they did with Bomberman and to Momotarou Dentetsu through licensing) could help them reach the 2016 level.

Yep, PS4 is 100% over in Japan. Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest could not save it, so nothing will.

Of course, anyone could have predicted that, but it's even more obvious now.

Sony and their third-party partners tried.

Japan wants what it wants.

Just a friendly correction- right now we have little to no evidence of shortages for this week.

False.

We had trackers note last week there was a shortage. Earlier we had a note that second hand prices have gone up:

Neither Famitsu nor Dengeki seem to have reported it this week, while both did for the past couple of weeks. If we take that at face value, it would suggest that the issues are (mostly) over, but the resell prices for PS4 systems on amazon are through the roof (40k Yen for a PS4), and neither the OG PS4 nor the Pro is available. So, I'm not sure what the case is currently, but the sheer size of sales (only 11k) makes the sellout situation more logical imo (being down by a factor 2 is not normal).

We also have anecdotes later in the thread:



Pretty much. SE knew that PS4 was going to be their bread and butter, especially with the worldwide outlook. FF spinoffs and remakes did well, DQ spinoffs did well, FFXV made bank, curious to see how DQ11 PS4 does in the West, though in JP the PS4 SKU over performed and KH3 is a for sure hit.

To the best of my knowledge we do not have any trackers this week noting shortages. Of course, its possible there are some shortages- there are also anecdotes in this thread about Switch being sold out ,etc. But we're quibbling over like three thousand units.

Aren't they owned by Idea Factory?
Even if IFI doesn't do a PC port I imagine Ghostlight might pick it up like they've done with a couple of their other games as long as it's localized

How much do you think PS4 would have sold on a weekly basis in March/April without stock issues?

He won't give out the number as even Psycho know that PS4 at its best in March or April probably would only do like 2k or 3k more than now. So it is useless to argue whether there is shortage or not. The only important thing to know is that MHW momentum is done. Now into KH3 and whenever the hell it will come out.

Derp. Can't believe I forgot this. After a quick double check, CH is indeed a subsidiary of IF.

As you say, Ghostlight just might be a suitable PC porter, after all, they did secure Omega Quintet somehow.

I was just asking (the second time as the first time didn't produce any answer) to understand how much he thinks shortages have affected weekly sales.

Personally, I don't think PS4 would have sold way better.

Software sales are really dreadful outside MHW. All relevant games of the past few months (except MHW) bombed or underperformed.

*Raises hand

Yeah, year end has to have a better line up than the shit last holiday had. Still have KH3 (lol yall say it is this year so I will humour it) to play and potentially a price cut as well.

I think it will be ahead of 2017 or at least flat.

The last time KH was relevant, GT was the bigger IP. While I'm sure KH3 will sell more than GTS, I'm not sure it's going to drive sales at all in Japan

Do you see the summer being significantly worse this year compared to last year? I imagine after DQ11 from last year PS4 be down in Famitsu and flat in Media Create. From there into the fall, as long as the line up isn't bile I can see it being flat or even a bit up.

KH3 will be a pretty big title. It wont be DQ or MH but it will still sell quite a bit and move quite a few units imo.

I'm not sure there are many KH fans who don'T already own a PS4 in Japan.

The argument could be made for MH (and somewhat for DQ but we saw how short lived that one was), but KH? There'S already been several releases on PS4 (yes, I know, remasters and all) but after the trifecta hitting the system, I'm not sure there's a huge untapped market of people wanting to play a KH game who don't own a PS4.

I swear we go through this every time a big game in a series is going to release. There will be a moderate hardware bump.

We'll see I suppose but I'm expecting a decent hardware bump all the same. No one goes out and buys hardware for KH remasters. They buy it for the main event.

I think Power Pro 2018 will do ~120k FW and 300k+ LTD, even though it's PS4/PSV. Winning Eleven's FWs for the last two years have been only ~80k FW and ~210k LTD in Japan. And it looks like FIFA is winning more and more ground. I think FIFA did pretty well worldwide on Switch, so it might be worth it for Konami to get a NSW version ready, but I doubt that in itself will save the franchise from declining in Japan.

What people seem to forget is that all next PS4 games will be aimed at gamers that already own one. Sure, KH and FF might give some little bump in the short-term but there's no game that can push the hardware in the long-term right now. MH was the last chance, as it is a huge IP and no other games in the series had appeared on PS4 before. At that price and line-up, PS4 is trapped into its own bubble of young adults and hardcore gamers. All future games are aimed at them, and are sequels of games/genres already established on the platform.

The only way for PS4 to sustain high long-term sales is to get an unexpected hit, something like Minecraft on PSV or Splatoon on Wii U---which would broaden the audience. As it is, this seem difficult; PSV was an handheld and Wii U was still a Nintendo platform so they could absorb this kind of effect (even though, of course, they went to sell worser than PS4).

Let's not also forget that PS4 received a top-notch support in Japan by Sony and third parties. Sony already cut the price, released multiple versions and bundles (even gave games for free to new buyers, e.g., Bloodborne, Minna no Golf), released a well advertised peripherals; and third parties released plenty of big games, and they also tried with casual/family friendly games.

The only realistic scenario short term is that the headstart thanks to MHW and 1Q lineup will melt away at least for the most part this Summer, as disappointing as last end of year lineup was for PS4, let's not forget that the MHW "bundle" sold quite a few units.

If there are no delays, KH3 so far is the only big known title for the system. Unless Capcom pulls out another MH bundle or MHWG and Sony pricecuts/New revisions of the system, PS4 at best remains stagnant, with second half of the year most likely worse sales either way.

The Granblue could be big. It's a big IP coming to consoles for the first time and the game itself looks great.

It's going to have multiplayer too IIRC.

I think it's less about the remasters and more about how many KH fans are there who didn't already buy a PS4 for FFXV or DQXI. I'm sure there are some but how sizable is the figure really?

The implication is more, why is it "KH" fans as opposed to people who want a PS4 and the release of a big game like KH3 is what makes them jump in? Anyway, lets just wait and see.

Anyway, KH will be a Fall game at the earliest, and this means PS4 will keep to sell bad throughout the first half of the year and the third quarter.

Sure. I'm just not sure how many are left for KH who didn't already jump in for FF, DQ, MH, GT, RE, MGS, Yakuza, Musou, Powapuro, WE, DBZ, Gundam, Tales, SRT, etc, etc.

It's like how many people jumped in with 3DS when DQXI launched? Some maybe, but the vast majority of the audience was already there thanks to other software.

KH3 won't, I'm quite sure of that. I still think it will sell something like 1M LTD in Japan, the production-value alone is crazy and the fanbase is quite crazy, but it wouldn't be wise to expect it to push PS4 forward. Even MHW didn't help that much.

Snack World number is pretty good for a late port of a game that sold 94k-ish first week with its original release. What's more, all reports indicate strong legs for the title, so it could very do half of the original release (which did 250k LTD) or more.

Didn't know it was a port on switch but yeah it doesn't look like we're gonna get it? Shame as that's the kind of stuff I want for my switch, not the big guns. And I like L5!

For reference, sales of the first Little Battlers eXperience entry, which received a similar cross-gen treatment:

PSP Little Battlers eXperience 163.834 328.323 Level 5 16/06/2011
PSP Little Battlers eXperience: Boost 59.448 192.189 Level 5 23/11/2011
3DS Little Battlers eXperience: Explosive Boost 55.614 205.922 Level 5 05/07/2012

Explosive Boost on 3DS sold 200k units and opened a bit less than a third of the first PSP entry---similarly to The Snack World on Switch versus 3DS.

18./18. [NSW] Attack on Titan 2 (Koei Tecmo) {2018.03.15} - 2,422 / 49,277
22./14. [PS4] Attack on Titan 2 (Koei Tecmo) {2018.03.15} - 2,300 / 50,830
37./30. [PSV] Attack on Titan 2 (Koei Tecmo) {2018.03.15} - 1,194 / 26,446

So going by Dengeki the Switch SKU is still neck & neck with the PS4 one.

To the best of my knowledge we do not have any trackers this week noting shortages. Of course, its possible there are some shortages- there are also anecdotes in this thread about Switch being sold out ,etc. But we're quibbling over like three thousand units.

Dunno about other vendors, but Amazon Japan was still selling PS4 through 3rd party and Y10.000 over msrp.
On the rankings, even the Pro was above the slim.

Labo seems to be catching on the crowd right now, especially the variety kit. A lot of videos having popping up on my Twitter feed with the advanced piano skills and crafty garage applications.

Do you see the summer being significantly worse this year compared to last year? I imagine after DQ11 from last year PS4 be down in Famitsu and flat in Media Create. From there into the fall, as long as the line up isn't bile I can see it being flat or even a bit up.
.

Right now the PS4 lineup besides the undated KH3 is very bad. Last year had DQXI at end of July. There is nothing remotely that big on the horizon.

I'm also fairly sure Dragonball Fighterz on PC has sold less than Xenoverse 2 Switch but we'll probably never know now(RIP Steamspy).
