edit - updated on 7/9/2018 almost doubles my estimate. I'm more excited for this than DQ XI so I am going to have some faith that the japanese value the innovation and depth of this game...

I'd be super disappointed if Octopath can't cross 100k first week. I don't expect it to match Bravely Default but getting past 200k should be a minimum imo.

Love me some arbitrary threshold which makes or breaks a game. If Octopath sells 95k is underwhelming but if it sells 105k is good? ;)

And people wonder why Nintendo is porting these games.

I don't think anyone wondering anymore why Nintendo is porting these games. Sales proved the reasons why. Maybe people are simply complaining that they've played those games on Wii U.

Well I do hope Captain Toad being ported means good things for a sequel going forward :P I really want that.

GEO Ranking Sales, 2018 (Jul 02 - Jul 08)

~ 1.200 stores

01/01 [NSW] Mario Tennis Ace
02/ N [PS4] Zanki Zero
03/03 [NSW] Minecraft
04/02 [PS4] The Crew 2
05/ N [PSV] Zanki Zero
06/05 [NSW] Splatoon 2

08/10 [PS4] Winning Eleven 2018
09/04 [PS4] New Gundam Breaker
10/07 [PS4] Kingdom Hearts - HD 1.5 + 2.5 Remix


"今週のランキング1位は3週連続でNintendo Switch「マリオテニス エース」となりました。Nintendo Switch をはじめ、他機種でも新作タイトルが少ないことが要因となっております。
2位と5位に新作のPS4・PS Vita「ザンキゼロ」がランクインしました。こちらは「ダンガンロンパ」シリーズのスタッフが製作する新規タイトルとなっています。プレイしたユーザーの評判・評価が、販売数が伸びるかどうかの指標となるタイトルですので、今後に期待しております"


Google translate:
Mr. Takafumi Muto:
"This week's ranking number one ranked Nintendo Switch "Mario Tennis Ace" for three consecutive weeks. Nintendo Switch and other models also cause fewer new titles.
New PS4 · PS Vita "Zanzero" ranked in 2nd and 5th place. This is a new title to be produced by the staff of "Danganronpa" series. The reputation and evaluation of the user who played is a title which is an index of whether or not the number of sales will increase, so I expect it in the future."

What i dont like about Pokemon these days, is the lack of challenge in single player battles. Since PB and PW i have not lost a single battle, and LGP / LGE looks even easier ( those 2 vs 1 battles OMG!). I want better A.I, NPC should know what attacks are super effective. Pokemon is casual, but casual shouldnt mean easy.
I actually find S/M to be a genunine challenge in spots, now I was a lapsed fan but I felt like i havent forgot how to Pokemon so the essentially the boss fights kimda kicked my ass

Pokémon was never hard, that's the thing. As long as you have six Pokémon with you and a bunch of items, you have to deliberately do bad in order to lose.

New games have introduced Exp. Share which allows to train faster your team. Before you had to train each Pokémon of the team separately and it was pretty long. I had some difficulties in the first 2 generations.

There was Exp share already in Gold/Silver. You just didn't get it automatically like later on.

Have you played US/UM? Those some of the hardest games in the series, there are a few very hard boss battles.
