Media Create Sales: Week 17, 2018 (Apr 23 - Apr 29)

Good increase on PS4 and good hold for GoW and for the Switch.

At first week they sold like 10-20% of the stock according to Famitsu. Maybe they were stocking it for the future, but still, this number doesn't seem good.

30%. Given how heavy and bulky Labo kits are, it's likely they shipped stock to cover the next few weeks (and Golden Week). Otherwise a near half million initial shipment would be way too optimistic.

Lelouch0612 · May 2, 2018

Great hold for GoW and great numbers hardware for the PS4. Sadly, software-wise it seems that even MHW won't behave like an evergreen. It is telling that with a triple digit hardware bump, not a single game on the top 20 got a bump WoW.

Switch evergreens are still kicking ass. The Snack World is doing well and should cross 100k soon. Labo droped, but expectations are high for next week so we'll see what kind of baseline it'll have. Variety Kit could have steady sales, the Robot one won't in the short-term.

A bit shocked by those PS4 numbers. From what people were saying here the shortages were almost having no impact on the hardware sold...

lol.... =D

Mr Swine · May 2, 2018

Good for PS4 and Switch, is it due to Golden Week right now? Was hoping for a tad more for Switch. I do wonder if Nintendo can realistically sell more than 35k a week in Japan and if there is software to push it through until Smash Bros and hopefully Pokémon at the end of the year

Deleted member 31092 · May 2, 2018

I smell concern.

Comic Obsessed · May 2, 2018

GoW is selling better than expected and Switch software sales are still strong despite that the hardware doesn't follow.

Hope things are fixed soon.

KillerMan91 · May 2, 2018

When Slim model only sold 4.5k units last week it was obvious to me that PS4 was suffering from some kind of shortages. I guess for some it wasn't.

Total: 243.431

So basically they lost the PS3's share. Stable performance on the PS4/PSV front. Nothing to complain.

The PSV version dropped by 40%

The PS4 version improved though

God of War 29.517 / 75.608 (-36%)

Hey this gaijin game with muscular protagonist does not looks so bad after all, desu desu

Come on Japan, take the hint : Sony games are good, you know. As said above, that's exactly the same hold seen in the UK, funnily (-35%).

Visanideth · May 2, 2018

A lot of japanese gamers are streaming GoW on Twitch. It's weird.

Let's hope so. I'm a bit concerned about its future since it's a rather bold project which had probably a lot of money put into it, and so far it doesn't look too good for Nintendo.

I don't think it's a good idea to only listen to these threads when it comes to PS4 shortages.

Impressive hold for the Goat of war and seems supply was sorted out....for now

They never stated their expectations so I wonder how you want to know what they did expect.

Isn't he Japanese VO for this game pretty good? At least it sounded like that to me.

Switch and 3DS have a very similar Week 17 in their second year in terms of Software sales. Slight boost to Switch hardware this week.

Next week is Golden Week back in 2012 the actual boost 3DS Software received wasn't that big since Fire Emblem was launched 2 weeks ago and experienced typical JRPG drops. Overall as we've seen with certain other Nintendo franchises that are targeting younger audiences both get smaller drops and bigger bumps during such holidays. Personally I think Week 18 Software for the Switch will be considerably bigger than the co-responding software sales during 2012. With the launch of DKTF I think it's possible we hit 300K.

MisterR · May 2, 2018

Great hold for Kratos, big drop for Labo. Good to see PS4 back in good supply and selling.

Cinemikel · May 2, 2018

It's a shame NSW hardware barely managed a 4k boost when ps4 jumped back up like 25k

NSW | 38.752 | 34.165

PS4 fully back in stock i guess? and a nice bump for switch.
would like to see both back over 40 / 45K again though

Deleted member 31092 · May 2, 2018

Gundam and Naruto sold well for what they are.

NotLiquid · May 2, 2018

The lack of Monster Hunter in the top 20 despite the HW increase is extremely baffling.

I think that's a pretty bad drop for Labo, all things considered. Not going to completely sound the alarm yet, but that drop doesn't bold well initially IMO.

MasterChumly · May 2, 2018

Yikes at that drop off for the Labo Robo kit. Maybe Nintendo should rethink their pricing of that. And the variety kit is doing pretty meh as well.

There was tons of releases this week though so sales barrier to hit the top 20 got higher than last week. When we get top 30 from famitsu we can see did any PS4 game get any boost from last week.

I hope they weren't expecting it to be the next Wii Sport, after all it was supposed to be their big release for the first half of 2018...

PS4 @ 10k-ish was an outlier due to stock shortages until last week... The Amazon.co.jp situation was quite symptomatic.

Were there shortages on NSW as well?

The Robo kit is a flop, but the variety kit dropping over 70% is probably more concerning.

It's a shame NSW hardware barely managed a 4k boost when ps4 jumped back up like 25k

One had no notable releaaea, the other finally overcame it's shortages with a sizeable release.

You choose which one is which.

Gamer17 · May 2, 2018

why did PS4 jump so much?

The Robo kit is a flop, but the variety kit dropping over 70% is probably more concerning.

Bingo.

I hope they weren't expecting it to be the next Wii Sport.

It would be weird if they did, considering they didn't make Switch+Labo bundles or anything like that.

CaviarMeths · May 2, 2018

Wow, fantastic hold for God of War!

And yeah, RIP in peace, Project Giant Robot. We hardly knew ye.

Decent sales for both consoles for Golden Week, and seems key software got a nice little boost (or soft drop) too.

Principate · May 2, 2018

I mean this was the first holiday period test and the reason why Nintendo launched this now. The chances Labo is going to struggle for a while even if it does recover to more reasonable sales volume is pretty high I'd say.

Sad sales for Labo considering Nintendo's expectations.

what were Nintendo's expectations?

Pooroomoo · May 2, 2018

Time Loop said:
At first week they sold like 10-20% of the stock according to Famitsu. Maybe they were stocking it for the future, but still, this number doesn't seem good.

Let's see:
1. Knows what Nintendo's expectations for Labo were when nobody else does, and concludes they weren't met after 2nd week for what is clearly a long term product

2. Provides incorrect numbers when asked about this (according to Famitsu, it sold 20-40% of shipment first week, not 10-20%, I double checked)

3. Doesn't know that in Japan shipments are what retailers order (and here they knew that Golden Week is just ahead), not what the publisher pushes or expects.

The last one is forgivable, the first sort of, but the second is not, in my book. Ignore Y/N? Yes.

I would assume they were reasonably high in Japan given the release date. Maybe it will recover, but so far signs do not look good IMO.

Mbolibombo · May 2, 2018

Nice hold for God of War. Extremely impressed.

The evergreen titles keep trucking for Switch and I'm also liking the Snackworld hold.

Monster Hunter World no longer charting after 3 months.. Did not expect that.

Stock issues for weeks.

ItWasMeantToBe19 · May 2, 2018

The Switch hardware bump from Labo has been non-existent so far, pretty disappointed.

It's actually not comparable, like at all.
Storm on the Switch could be considered a new game, it's Nintendo's first Naruto in over a decade.

Meanwhile on Sony, individual games sold each in the hundreds thousands on Ps3 and people already moved on to Storm 4, which debuted with 65K in Japan.

6K is actually very weak for the Switch.

Lord Brady · May 2, 2018

Wish I could say I was upset about Labo struggling, but I'm not.

Gotdatmoney · May 2, 2018

I dunno if Labo ends up finding an audience through WoM or long burn. Maybe it doesn't. That said I was expecting it to have a drop around 70%. We're still in the wait and see if this project finds ground period.

Zalman · May 2, 2018

Good week for Switch evergreens. I'm not surprised the Labo Robot Kit isn't doing too hot. The Variety Kit is just better value.

Maur · May 2, 2018

I think Konami lost a lot of sales by not having a Switch version for the Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball 2018.
Still don't understand their criteria for ports. This one seems like such a sure bet

Variety Kit drop was still 70%, which isn't very good.

despite that the hardware doesn't follow.

yet still better than PS4, so what is it? is PS4 doing trash or Switch not doing good?

>Late April
unless, you are implying 2 weeks before GW is any magic number in Japan, I call BS, and we still dont have any number just people trying to guess it out for doom and gloom (as per the norm with nintendo)
