Nope. It actually has (seemingly) great WoM. However, supply shortages are really keeping it the game down.
It seems like 3rd party don't sell, expect the game to be announced on PS4 soon.
PS4 games rarely have legs so I am happy to see Detroit performing well. Maybe it can inspire some JP publishers that struggle to find new ideas for their games.
Over time I can see Detroit maybe clearing 120k. 115k sounds very doable for sure
Without knowing the digital numbers, it is still hard to say.
If a big part of people wanting the game finally bought the game digitally it could even have a positive effect : less used copy filling the 2nd-hand market and therefore potentially bigger legs.
The original Mania did surprisingly okay there last year, at least on Nintendo Switch. According to Nintendo themselves, Mania was Japan's 22nd best-selling Switch eShop game in 2017, and surveyed players liked it enough for it to land #17 on a poll of the most-recommended games on the platform.
With that in mind, you'd think the Mania Plus re-release would had at least charted somewhere this week, especially considering its budget price and included bonus content (which even included the soundtrack and a special reversible cover, unlike other territories).
Kirby and Odyssey have both had totally respectable legs, though- I don't think there's any danger of overcrowding.
Zelda's legs are astonishing, but we shouldn't use that game's performance as a stick to beat others with.

IIRC seems like minor restocks this week and a bigger one planned for next week?
Summer holiday, some parents buy the console with Minecraft for their kids
Going to restock it on August 2nd, to prolong Kawazu's suffering.
Nintendo top 10 is pretty impressive. Not sure how long it's been since it last happened. Octopath is currently #1 on the eShop even in the US, in any case I imagine SE is ecstatic over the results.
I recall them diverting some studios to work on more switch software so maybe those games would get a boost thanks to the strong result.
Thankfully happened early on so SE can act on it instead of Bravely Default's "lets make some low budget top down JRPGs for other platforms"

Swan song for 3DS next week. There are still a few games coming this year but nothing has a specific date after 2 August. Luigi's Mansion and Persona Q2 are the only remarkable.
Etrian Odyssey X has the power to top 100k LTD, WarioWare will open low but 50k+ are possible in the end. Minecraft bundle could move some units.

Those WoW Zelda bumps are incredible. I'm really happy to see that.
Regarding Octopath, what's the usual ratio of physical to digital in Japan? Would people there just get it digitally if it's not restocked fast enough?

For Switch it's like 10% at best. We haven't had an Octopath situation since Xenoverse 2 though
Historically they usually buy used, however with such high demand, and used prices still being high, the digital ratio is probably higher than usual.
I think xenoblade x and xenoblade 2 both had higher than typical digital sales according to famitsu's estimates.
Less than 10% seems low for major titles. I imagine the genre and file size has much to do with it; botw's digital attach rate is probably pretty Garbo due to it being a launch title and being rather large
06./05. [NSW] Minecraft <ADV> (Microsoft Game Studios) {2018.06.21} (¥3.600) - 16.265 / 138.051 (+8%)
The road to 1 million begins!

I think so for X. 2 I'm pretty sure is around 10% though.
Digital just isn't big in Japan. On PS4 its like 15%
man, I hate that name. then again, it's never going to be not-niche so there's no point in making effort to expand its reachThe logo for the english version was datamined few days ago

That low?? That's wild.
It interests me that Japan tends to prefer handhelds but still goes physical with games. Convenience & travel seem to be the appeal but they'd prefer to carry around all those little cards. Not saying it's bad, in fact at launched I loved it; it's just digital made more sense to me over time due to not having much room to store boxes and game cases.
I know what you are doing, but I won't play into your hand (but I do hope someone else posts it :P)
Edit: ah fuck it, here it is
That was a game for free, not a bundle.
Hardware should have a price increase to be considered a bundle for the trackers,
Perhaps. Not something we can speak to until the estimates come out. In the short term I anticipate it being greater than 10% though.
