What is time anyway?
But thanks, thats even better for me, not gonna have inet for the next few hours, so i was worried i would miss the initial nice thread before the usual derailing happens.
60 hours would be a quicker playthrough based on what I've seen in the preview threads. It's got a lot of content to it... based on the OT normal times are probably closer to 80 hours (people generally seem to be taking 20 hours for each of the four chapters), with some people tracking even slower, more towards 100 hours.
You could conceivably do the story content in 40 hours, but there's so much to do besides that that you can easily spend 80+ hours in the game.
Melee
Brawl
for 3DS/for WiiU
It's not like they went all out on subtitles in the past. I like Ultimate because that's pretty much what it is.
It definitelly seems to be stronger demand that first expected indeed. I expect 100k+ in Japan the first week. I'm more curious to see the western sales (we know about 11k-12k (i think) for the UK so far)).
How does the extra content work in this game? I mean, do you have to start a new game to do the extra content, or can you go back and finish the side quests(?) after beating the game?
Well, the game seems to be razor sharp with content at least hehe ;)
Did you have a follow up reply to this? If you have any issue with me asking questions sometimes, and maybe feel that i'm critizing you because of that, then please let me know instead, either in these threads or send me a PM. I dont think theres any need to call questions for useless, that feels rude to me. Its better if you let me know instead because i dont wish to fight with anyone. I want to have a good tone with people even if might ask questions sometimes that might seem though to answer. I just wanted to say that. Thanks :)

Wait a minute, I know this is off topic but this is the first I've heard of these Spain numbers. Is that saying more than half of PS4s lifetime sales in 3 weeks or more than half of the first 3 weeks' sales?
Also, what's the source on that?
I'm very interested in how Wolf 2 is doing, it seems to be doing surprisingly well on the US eShop at least.
I have no idea what the PS4 and Xbox One version of Wolfenstein 2 sold, but one guy in the PAL charts last week posted the spanish numbers for Wolfenstein 2 in its first week:
XX (NE) NSW Wolfestein 2: The New Colossus - 1,600 / NEW

Stock issues absolutely have the potential to cause lost sales.
In my experience living in Japan, if people want the game and can't find a new copy, most have no qualms with buying used. Even if it is almost the same price. It helps that many used copies are in immaculate condition.
But so far, at least in my town, used copies are also not plentiful.
Your posts are appreciated, keep doing your thang man. Dude was just being obnoxious and you should ignore him.
This isn't true. It's a well known that RPGs don't have much time to get the bulk of their sales before the used copies hit the market.
You go back and finish up side quests. The average length would be 40-60 hours. To do everything would float you closer to 80 hours

Games with a large appeal don't have any problem selling new copies as the word of mouth will be large enough to not let the second hand market gain the upper hand. Games with limited appeal and rather small word of mouth are affected by the second hand market the most. Usually this is the case with a lot of RPG releases in Japan. Octopath Traveler may have a larger appeal than a lot of other RPG's so it really isn't clear if the second hand market will kill the sales of this game.
Half of the first 3 weeks of PS4 performance in 1 week for Switch version.

Yeah using UK as the benchmark for anything Nintendo is not ideal by any means. Had no idea it sold that well in Spain - late port outside of holiday season.. that's not hald bad at all. However, comparing to the Xbox market in spain is no good either.
Ah wow, thanks. I hope we get some NPD numbers for that too.
Wolf 2 releases this month in Japan IIRC, no one expects it to have any sort of success there, right?
Japan, definitely not (look at how Doom did there). Sadly I doubt it will do good numbers in NPD either... Which will be more fuel for the naysayers (unjustified, since this game is not an indication of anything) .

PS4 Doom 6.274 8.636 Bethesda Softworks 19/05/2016

Supposedly says the next shipment is scheduled for August.
Welp if true.

If it's just that single store, then it could very well be that nationwide restocks are due earlier.

Interesting to see what that first shipment was. If it was barely above or below 100k, I'll be very disappointed.
I extrapolated from my playtime, since i am 12 hours in and still have to do the first chapter of my last character(madam old english).
Cart productions seems very slow, especially if compared to DVD/Bluray
If Google Translate isn't failing me (I know), that's a tweet from the Twitter account of a single store. I'd be grateful is anyone can confirm this by properly translating its profile description

Wolf 2's story is like 8000000x better than Detroit's so... This makes me unhappy.
It's just one video game store, located in Sapporo (opened in 2004, from the looks of it).
Besides, the website makes it pretty clear this is no chain: https://shop.1983.jp/shop/shop.cgi?...81%40%93%FC%89%D7&FF=0&price_sort=&pic_only=1

First anecdotal from retailers for Pokemon preorders is that version almost everyone preffers is the one bundled with Pokeball.
There is a very big rise of price in that case comparing to previous entries, from 4.980 yen to 9.980, more than double.

In which case it may be a smart thing that they opened pre-orders so early, since this way they might be better able to estimate the interest for the pokeball, and possibly manufacture more in time for the release, if necessary (?)
Has pokemon always been that much cheaper in japan? Let's Go is 60 american for us
The Let's Go games are around 6k Yen on Amazon Japan as well. I believe Chris talking about the jump from 3DS pricing to the Let's Go Pokéball Plus bundle.
And previous entries were 4980Y while in America they were 40$ games.
Pricing in America is unatural so you'll find some oddities with japanese pricing which is more flexible.
i'm only halfway through the game but the post-launch negative critics leave me puzzled, since it's so far an absolute blast
Daedalus: The Awakening of Golden Jazz (?), a new game in the Jake Hunter series, out this year on Switch, PS4, PC. Something about a new concept. Kinda surprising they're having two games from the same series the same year.

If anyone was still wondering why Mew is a Poké Ball plus exclusive ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I wonder, is any tracker, or possibly Nintendo themselves gonna release sales numbers for the Pokeball ?
Its a accessory/controller, but i would love to know the attachrate to the games.

Kind of sad to see the last Gundam beeing way overshipped leading to significant price drops to bargain bin prices in one hand and on the other hand games like Octopath Traveller suffering from shortages.
I'm sure that can be expedited. I'm not even sure if they'd know more than a general estimate. There's no way they've blown through 2 weeks worth of shipments in a few days...right?

More anecdotal.
Sanki Zero hype is literally at zero. Despite coming from Danganronpa creators and good word of mouth it failed to find an audience.
There is hype for Taiko on Switch. If the game is good the first Switch entry could the heights of first 3DS entry.
