Taiko Drum 'n' Fun has sold over 600k

With those kind of worldwide numbers they should really disregard Japan and focus on making higher budget Taiko games on the PS4/PC(+ possibly XBO).

I'm laughing and crying.

Jackano · May 16, 2019

Wow I don't follow sales numbers as much as before and I just noticed Yoshi bombed.

Deserved not for the game but for Nintendo's planning if you ask me.
It was the same on Wii and Wii U, too much platformers from Nintendo. Do something different FFS. When it's not Yoshi it's Kirby, or Mario, or DK. When it's not yarn it's paper...

lol

that said, Famitsu has the game at 331k as of two weeks ago. Counting in say 10% digital, that's still at least a good 230-250k from outside of Japan. Seems pretty good to me.

...what ? It didn't bomb at all.

Lite_Agent · May 16, 2019

Famitsu had a separate post for the Switch outselling the PS4, but sadly, they don't share any additional sales data. Quite the bummer.

Yoshi on Wii U sold 100k in Japan and sold +1m worldwide.

Ooooooh, the stream crossed this week? 😯

Yoshi is definitely selling not as well as I expected at first, and it can definitely be argued that a close release to NSMBU DX might have negatively affected its sales potential.
However...it's not a bomb, and it'll continue to sell in the future.

Lite_Agent · May 16, 2019

Dengeki data is out:

No new release, so no new sell-through data.

It's not just you, sell-through indicate retailers expected more, though I'm not sure whether it got a second shipment.

Day's Gone doing close-ish to 200k (still some 40k away of course) in Japan isn't half bad. Honestly didn't feel like the sort of game that'd have a market in Japan.

PS4 is very much on a free fall at this point, doubt it'll even reach 9M. Meanwhile Switch keeps on selling like hotcakes AND with a very positive software life too. Wonder if it can break the 20M mark? 15M seems like an easy "target" per say, given it's already racing to 9M with 2 years (give or a take a couple of months) in the market. I'd be pretty cool if it did!

I really can't see how the PS4 won't hit 9m. It will no doubt finally receive a price cut at some point this year which will boost sales.

@Famitsu
I see RDR2 has sold about 225k retail.

Lite_Agent · May 16, 2019

Just saw the press release for the Taiko no Tatsujin sales milestones, and saw Bamcp mention they're going to support Drum 'n' Fun in the long run with DLC and stuff. Looks like they've changed their strategy of annual (and multi-annual) games, or maybe I'm just reading too much into it. We'll see come September, I guess!

They release a free update with new game mode today.

This year's game will be on PS4 anyway.(and probably sell less than Drum 'n' Fun in 2019)

I dunno, we've been constantly expecting price cuts for the PS4 all gen long and they've just kept on cruising. It feels like once we get actual PS5 info (which will likely happen before 2020 arrives) the sales of the PS4 will slow down globally (which is natural) and end any chance of truly getting to 9M (if it hasn't gotten there yet).

If it does get a decent price cut in Japan (or WW) then yeah, 9M seems more than feasible. At this current rate? Feels like a mountain to climb :/

Gartooth · May 16, 2019

I recall Nintendo reporting 140k copies sold in Japan for Yoshi in its previous FY. (So what they shipped in the first week)

So with Famitsu reporting the game at around 130k sell-through, I'd presume they've already sold through the initial 140k and have done a second shipment. Granted I don't think Yoshi had as big of a debut as Nintendo expected since it took 6-ish weeks to get through that first shipment. It will by no means be a bomb though, I can see it legging to a very respectable number by the end of Switch's life.

I seem to recall it selling like 70k but I might be wrong. That probably won't stop them putting out more on PS4 though.

Isn't that a bomb for Taiko though? I'm pretty sure the franchise did better on Wii U and Vita even.

Nintendo's number include digital sales, though.

PSV game did sell over 120k. First Wii U game sold really well (nearly 200k), but then sales cratered with 2nd and 3rd game.

True. So the actual total is quite a bit higher than what we are seeing now.

Maybe they thought releasing closer to the rumoured Switch revision would help, or something (game would still be heavily featured in stores).

But that's assuming there is a revision launching in June, something I'm not convinced of anymore.

Weird to see people posting over the last few weeks that Sony was right to abandon Japanese-developed AAA games when Bloodborne and Gran Turismo are up there holding their own or even performing better than western games.

Japan is less than 10% of PlayStation 4 sales.

Andromeda said:
2019 is going to be the best year for Switch and was until now impressively up YoY on Japan, that is, until 2 weeks ago. I still find it odd that it's even slighlty down YoY this week (and the previous week).

Switch sales depends a lot of new first party software and it's very calm right now. I wouldn't be surprise if sales were down YoY until Super Mario Maker 2 release, then sharply up.

schuelma said:

I don't know, but if Switch Pocket really release in late June, the beginning of this month would have been a bad timing for the game.

60-80% sell-throught to 130k in 3 weeks when NSMBU port has passed the 600k mark. Yoshi isn't Mario but on a system as healthy as the Switch as I expected it to be at least close to 300k.
Maybe "bomb" was a poor word to use but still, weak numbers to me :(

Japan accounts for at least 400k of Taiko sales, we know it had strong digital. Western sales aren't so bad with the limited push the game received, it's a miracle BN bothered to localize it.

Iceborne physical bundle went completely unnoticed at retailers. Unless there's some push with benefits from Capcom almost everyone will prefer the digital option.

No surprise, the biggest complaint people had about the G releases was that they had to rebuy the full game instead of just getting the extra content as DLC. Now that Capcom has gone the DLC route, the outcome seems predictable (not a bad thing or anything).

Granzella on Switch is good news, I think they self published a table game on the eShop too? Pretty sure R-Type Final 2 is also Switch bound based on the twitter polls.

This is weird since 2 weeks doesn't sound like a ton of time to get major fixes done.

Hopefully, it's like some are speculating and that it's being pushed back to release closer to the switch lite rather than we should expect it to launch poorly.
Maybe a mix of the two

Or is there any hope that we will get weekly data somehow?

Split used is this:

WELL, look who popped back into the Dengeki Top 50 after possibly almost a year and a half!

46./53. [NSW] Puyo Puyo Tetris S (Sega) {2017.03.03} - 3,639 / 67,576 (Week 1, 2018)
(71 weeks(?) absent)
50./61. [NSW] Puyo Puyo Tetris S (Sega) {2017.03.03} - 569 / 106,503

O_O Thats nice number actually. Now i wonder how good Bomberman do on Switch there. Nintendo should have push for Momotaro Dentetsu Switch with Valhalla as the devs there. The game on 3DS sold really good too.

I dunno, we've been constantly expecting price cuts for the PS4 all gen long and they've just kept on cruising. It feels like once we get actual PS5 info (which will likely happen before 2020 arrives) the sales of the PS4 will slow down globally (which is natural) and end any chance of truly getting to 9M (if it hasn't gotten there yet).

If it does get a decent price cut in Japan (or WW) then yeah, 9M seems more than feasible. At this current rate? Feels like a mountain to climb :/

Even at it's current price it will make it next year. But Sony would be crazy not to cut it. The consumer who will buy a $500 PS5 is not the same as those who would buy a really cheap PS4.

Iceborne physical bundle went completely unnoticed at retailers. Unless there's some push with benefits from Capcom almost everyone will prefer the digital option.

Good news. Digital is more profitable for Capcom and Sony.

At this rate is a complete business suicide to ignore Switch if you're a japanese developer.

ArcSys' Switch efforts just haven't been paying off have they?
