Media Create Sales: Week 14, 2020 (Mar 30 - Apr 05)

 

[Ozzie]

79k PS4, whoa.

 

[Deleted member 2791]

700k is exactly what I predicted so I'm patting myself on the back. It seems to be the ceiling for FF debut launches this generation as it's almost exactly as much as FFXV.

 

[Lite_Agent]

That Switch drop, yikes. Expected, but still yikes. Stopping shipments won't do wonders to your sales, that's for sure.

Looks like it's super-long run at #1 was going to end even with smaller HW bump for PS4.

Extra

 

[Refyref]

For comparison: FFXV's first week sales were 716,649 (Famitsu).

 

[Waluigilicious]

Wow didn't expect the NSWL shortages to be worse than the normal Switch

Smash outsells Pokemon two weeks in a row. Could it really happen? :D

 

[Geobros]

Last time that PS4 was on top hardware sales was when?

 

[Comic Obsessed]

Expected FFVIIR numbers (Maybe a little lower than expected actually).

Switch needs new stock.

 

[metalslimer]

Holy shit at the switch shortages

I actually did expect FF7 to do more but the digital ratio has probably gone up compared to FFXV

 

[DNAbro]

That's pretty good.

And man they weren't kidding when they said they were out of Switch units.

 

[Deleted member 10737]

nice numbers for ps4 and ff7

and wow, the shortages hit bad

 

[Waddles the Piggu]

F to our friend Kerotan for making the sacrifice so Guarana can have his day.

 

[Everywhere]

I wonder if Japanese people are importing Switches from other countries haha. Poor them.

 

[sfortunato]

Pretty mediocre retail debut for FFVII. Of course we're missing digital sales but that should be one of the most anticipated games of all time being the remake of one of the best selling and more beloved games of all time in Japan. The FF franchise isn't as relevant in Japan as it used to be, even for legacy titles. Also, PS4 is really on its last stride.

 

[Mpl90]

Click to shrink...

Fortunately, this is the week Switch shipments outside of lotteries and reservations are resuming, so numbers will definitely be higher. By how much, though? That's the biggest question.

 

[KillerMan91]

PS4:

Probably one of the last times this gif can be used with PS4 lol.

 

[Lelouch0612]

Looking at the software sales you could have guess which Switch model suffered the most. Pokemon dropping double digits and Minecraft not even in the top 10 is another sign of how their audience are buying the Lite.

 

[Lyrick]

Nintendo holding back stock to have something on the shelves for golden week?

 

[boris_feinbrand]

So Switch is basically out of stock in the country. Great number for FF7R no? AC just chugging along.

 

[V0ltg]

Expected a bit higher retail sales from FFVII, but damn great PS4 numbers.

 

[Aleh]

There was more stock for the OG switch than the lite?

 

[Ivanovic]

I'm guessing if you add digital, FFVII should be at least a million in Japan.

 

[Anth0ny]

Wow switch shortages

Also, thats the power of a final fantasy vii remake in Japan in 2020 huh

 

[modiz]

Famitsu states in the article that they expect higher than usual digital split for FF7R due the virus, so its probably safe to say that the game did at least 1-1.1M in Japan.

 

[dziga]

So the Seeking Alpha article was true

 

[Pooroomoo]

And... it is time to quote myself from last week's thread.

This is why I thought that people's reaction to someone's asking if PS4 this week could surpass Switch were off.

With the extremity of the shortages this week, Switch could theoretically end up at or under 50k (though I hope not), and PS4 could theoretically end up this week at, say, 70k if there are enough PS4/FFVIIR bundles (the game is basically given in those bundles for free) or even just due to the size of FFVIIR, no?

I'm not saying it will happen, but it is not as farfetched as people made it out to be, imo.

[Tbone5189]

With digital FF might of topped 1mil but it's yet to be seen right now. I wonder what sell thru was. AC with 293k, very good especially when you notice only 25k new NSW owners.

I'm hoping AC holds out 150k next week and FF maybe 120k+
NSW going to be low so nope

 

[Deleted member 31092]

 

[Pokémon]

Are we sure it's stock issues and not demand for the Switch quickly fading away?

Spoiler

Sorry for the bad Gematsu Media Create comment section impression.
AC is still beasting.

 

[CaviarMeths]

Oh good the delay was only one day.

Good performance for FF7. Surely cracked a milly with digital. Damn, PS4 hardware had a great week too.

Wonder how close AC is to 5m with digital. RIP Switch hardware though. Can't believe Seeking Alpha killed it with a single article.

 

[hrœrekr]

I hope the FF digital numbers are huge.
Retail doesn't look good for 7R .
Look at XV that had a much smaller install base and was a controversial title, compared with a long requested remake from the most successful title in the series.
I remember 7Remake being announced early to push PS4 install base for XV.

 

[Bruno MB]

PlayStation 4 hardware sales surprised me positively.

 

[Gibordep]

Nintendo couldn't respond to the demand of Switchs on AC launch?
How they go to 150K (with 300K in previous weeks) to 20K? That sells were made on accumulated stock to respond to the launch?

Every single year that passes by the digital ratio is bigger. Even more so now during the pandemic.

I think AC should be around 200k next week. No reason to have a 50% drop when both previous weeks were around 30%.

 

[Jraphics Horse]

So the Seeking Alpha article was true

That article was saying this quarter will be good for Nintendo.

People claiming stock shortages showed that it would be Nintendo's best year was worse than anything in that article.

Congrats to the PS4 for hitting 9 million.

Fantastic numbers for FF7 retail. I'm sure digital must be pretty high given the current situation

Nintendo couldn't respond to the demand of Switchs on AC launch?

There's a global pandemic affecting manufacturing.

Imagine how bad the thirst must be for Switches over there. Holy shit.

FF7 did aight. Wasn't a drop from 15 at least

Switch stock is nonexistent for now

PS4 going out on one last high

Oh good the delay was only one day.

Good performance for FF7. Surely cracked a milly with digital. Damn, PS4 hardware had a great week too.

Wonder how close AC is to 5m with digital. RIP Switch hardware though. Can't believe Seeking Alpha killed it with a single article.

300k+ digital seems kinda high imo.

Looking at the Switch evergreens sales, it doesn't look like the virus impacted negatively retail sales. If anything, it probably helped given how stable the evegreens were despite the huge drop in hardware sales.

Japanese people saw FFVII and decided they didn't want Switch no more.

Time to wrap it up Nintendo.

Spoiler

Really good PS4 hardware numbers

Epic week lol - PS4 gets the Pacman.
