Bomba Bin? It will depend on the current shipment numbers right?
So, are the Persona Dancing games dropping off the chart next week?
I think they were released too soon, P5 its still too fresh (I know it released in 2016 in Japan, but still).
Unless they just wanted to milk their most loyal fanbase and then bail.

Great Switch software sales as usual. Hope the upcoming Pokemon and Smash do better things for the hardware.
Hold onto your tentacles, Octo Expansion is approaching fast.
A real disaster considering this time around there's no excuses regarding the biggest Japan 3rd party IPs. A system with mainline Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest and Monster Hunter having trouble selling 10million units is really bad, even worse considering they practically receive full Western and Japanese 3rd Party support.
Well. They can just go the Cac way and go full focus on the west and hope west will carry their numbers while hoping that Jp will like whatever they bring to their fans in Japan like MHW or to the lesser success like RE7.
PS3 sales during week 21 in 2011 (so its fifth may and same week):
15.987
PS4 is posting better May numbers than PS3 in its fifth year and overall also is still ahead launch aligned.
It depends on context? PS4 already had all its big guns blow out there. Except for sudden big phenomena like MH happen again+price cut, I had hard time seeing it hit that 10 million there as this number will not rise much as much as it will probably drop.
Well, I assume at some point we'll get a "Splatoon 2 + Octo Expansion" SKU replacing the old SKU, so in *that* sense it'll die, but...
PS3 also had all its big guns launched by 2011 and went to sell over 10 million units.
Huh, kinda lukewarm result from Persona. Atlus really screwed things with those games really thanks to the removal of story mode and DLC schedule before they'd even released.
How did Mega Man do on PS4 btw?
Considering how Vita versions of games have collapsed compared to PS4 versions in recent months, this is actually a surprisingly even results between the platforms. Besides, the PS4 version of P3D is the lowest selling SKU of all.

Good opening for dark souls remastered.
Persona dancing games opening to lower numbers than I would've expected.
Splatoon 2 and the others on switch continuing with the legs.
Caligula dropping hard but I guess expected with its low opening.
Ps4 and switch sales increasing.
Overall an average week.

Just realised that Switch will hit 1m YTD next week. That's a fair bit earlier than last year, though that's no wonder given how terrible shortages were after GW.

YTD I presume ;)
But yeah, it is trucking along with higher sales than last year, and will only move further ahead of last year when we leave the content-light H1 and enter the stacked H2.
That's... that's the biggest drop I ever saw from a game on both ResetEra and the old site.
There have been -90%+ drops. I think maybe up to -95% for a Tales game at some point.
Week 14, 2018 :
05./01. [PS4] Super Robot Wars X # <SLG> (Bandai Namco Games) {2018.03.29} (¥8.600) - 11.063 / 100.322 (-88%)

03./01. [PS3] Tales of Zestiria <RPG> (Bandai Namco Games) {2015.01.22} (¥8.715) - 29.487 / 370.377 (-91%)

It's clear that Japan doesn't care about consoles. People that treat the Switch as a regular console are disingenuous even with its poor battery life.
PS3 fifth year was 2011 (it entered its fifth year in November 2010).
In May 2011, PS3 was selling a bit lower though having a better pace after that: https://sites.google.com/site/gamedatalibrary/hardware-by-year/2011-weekly
You just linked me to the first week of the 2011. In May 2011 PS3 was selling less than PS4 at the moment.
(Media Create numbers:)
Week 18: 20.883
Week 19: 13.789
Week 20: 12.935
Week 21: 15.987
Edit. Heh. Seems you edited fast. ;)

A list of >500k titles released post May 2011 on PS3
Wonder if we'll get a GTAVI this gen?
Resident Evil Remake 2 might reignite the RE sales somehow, RE8 will probably be PS5 or cross gen.
The age of musou selling that high is over and there's not an IP which is as huge as OP was back then.
I guess we can still see a new IP selling fairly decently like this in Japan
We have yet to see the next Tales, though I don't think it will reach that level of sales unless there's a huge shakeup and it's a PS4 exclusive, both seem unlinkely
Yakuza is down severely
A good Call of Duty title might not be too far from that
Gundam VS was already released and a huge failure (though it was mostly due to the game rather than the PS4)
+ KH3
Looking at it the incoming big titles line-up should not be too far from that sales wise, the problem though, as been illustrated for the past few years, is that mid tier titles are dissapearing.
You mean home consoles aren't desired in Japan anymore, that's how PS3 was and the same thing for WiiU, same thing for the next one.
Heavy Rain got a decent push I remember back then with an exclusive cover, ads and so on. Beyond a bit less so, but not nothing either. Detroit is definitely the strongest marketed game of QD in Japan but I don't think they spend double the amount of money compared to their 2 prior games, so these sales are still great
On the other hand western AAA games do better than they did last gen (outside of CoD that peaked during PS3 era, still does well though). Also hard to compare beyond 2011/2018 comparison as 2019 is complete mystery in terms of releases for PS4. Maybe we also actually get FFVII Remake? Maybe some completely out of field announcement and release during that time that does well (like One Piece Musou)? I also think that unlike PS3 that kinda got stuck with its 30k price tag for rest of its life PS4 will still get couple price cuts as it's better position globally and is not overengineered monster like PS3. Frankly I just don't see how it would miss 10 million mark in Japan.
08./00. [PS4] Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 <Mega Man 7 Mega Man 8 Mega Man 9 Mega Man 10> <ACT> (Capcom) {2017.08.10} (¥2.990) - 8.537 / NEW
I dont think there was a Legacy Collection 1 physical release for PS4 in Japan.
Asaide from this evenings rain, the weather has been rather nice and pretty temperate. It is getting to be a bit more humid however.
Heavy Raid did indeed get some push. I don't remember any ads or store advertising for Beyond (I am sure there was some but nothing notable enough to stick in my mind). Detroit is in another league with ad spend. Probably not double Heavy Rain but I wouldn't be surprised if it was more than double (or even triple) that of Beyond.
BotW will finally cross a million units sold next week that's awesome!
Hmm the new Persona dancing games are not doing great. I'm assuming it's because of the low amount of songs present on each game. Think it was 25 songs each and you have to pay to get the full opening theme last I heard. Granted the Vita audience evaporating is also a big contributor.

Thanks. Curious how you think Pokemon Let's Go will do with its target market.
When I was at school today the news had not yet hit. Calm before the storm.
Oh yeah- sorry, did not mean to imply you had the ability to foresee their reaction ahead of time!
Do you expect them to be massively excited, or do you agree with KtSlime that Gen 1 is not as exciting in Japan as it is elsewhere in the world?
