Still have to zigzag on the street occasionally because it's freezing at night.
2 things surprised me today for MH:W:
- many stores have low prices (retailers war for this game?), example:
- and many stores have second-hand MHW already (between 6000/7000 yen)
For the first day, it's surprised me.

That's bizarre.
He probably is saying low prices compared to what it was launching at.
Next week (whenever we get a report) will be fascinating.
I know 1 million shipment seems low given the comgnet hysteria, but I've thought since the beginning that World could be a title skewing more heavily towards pre orders than other games. Will be interesting to see 2nd shipment size, used market, etc.
Should be fun

But that's entirely normal for console games in Japan? I seriously don't understand. Whenever games are priced over 60-70 dollars, competition is pretty fierce. If you go to Amazon Japan, you can pre-order at a discount. If you go to retail stores you'll get good discounts as well.
Don't tell me there really are parents mistaking the game when they bought it for their kids

Second hand? You mean the original owners have beaten the game already and sold it?
It's not, I try to get all my games first day with about a thousand yen discount. Totally normal price.

"Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle sold 67,000 copies. Sell-through was also good at 78,26%. Until now, the brand "Rabbits" is not known to be high-profile, reservations also had a sluggish trend but they increased at more than 30.000 during the week of release. Since the end of the year, TVCM dropped on large scale strongly appealing to family group."
30.000+ final preorders is what they really wrote.

How? The game is fucking amazing. Maybe they realized that they were not able to play in local split screen? I can understand return the game after 2-3 days but it's just the first day.
It could just be an attempt to drive additional store traffic. In the States places like Best Buy would randomly advertise and knock $5 - $10 off a Pokemon title on launch day simply to pull customers from other stores with the hopes to recoup losses with add ons.
used , i put pictures before here and i saw many others, surprising.
Ok, thx guys :) (kanann, ktslime), surprised cause i didn't see that for last "big" games in Japan.

I believe its retailers in Japan. And let's wait and see how the weekend progresses.
I think it's smart that Capcom lowballs MH shipments, but I find it odd that they never seem to do these conservative shipments for other series.
Will be interesting to see how large the opening will be, and whether Capcom PR releases info soon regarding sales(for Japan or WW)..

Any evidence that Capcom has also had logistical issues supplying this week, given the weather?
Jesus the thread move too fast!
1 million for Monster Hunter is definitively very conservate, digital gonna be huge for this one. Looks like retail sales will be in the Dragon Quest territory...
That was with digital.

Edited: It looks like it's priced to compete with Amazon. It's a little more than 1000 off. More like 1700.
And that luxury will vanish in the west if they keep underperforming there too
Thanks :) Is around -5c unusual in Japan? Never really checked into whats normal temperature there.
I think this is the first time I've experienced negative temperatures since being in Japan. Or at least the first time I've noticed them.
Discounts are pretty normal. Second hand is what I find weirder b the that depends where you look.
More than anything it seems supply wasn't an issue day 1, some stores have sold out and others have ample supply.
Wow that's a gorgeous picture, but at the same time I'm feeling for that lady standing in the middle of a snowstorm.
If you talking about DQXI, DQ is a really easy game to jump in (almost every titles).
Monhun include World has a noob killer moment just around a beginning or a couple of hour in the game.
Even in my little SEA country, I saw some second hand already.
I remember some recent FF game had used copies on day one. In Japan, the market is moving fast.
Switch restocks:
From Monday to Thursday, awful, very rare restocks, switch sold out in so many stores but today it's better, Switch restocks are back :p , example:
Bic camera funatobu
売切れでご迷惑をお掛けしていた、Nintendo Switchが入荷致しました！
Bigger switch restocks announced for tomorrow (27)

Well the game is sold out on various Amazon across the world, the betas were a success, the game is currently booming on Twitch and the big streamers aren't even on yet, in Japan it looks like it's exceeding all the retailers expectations and the reviews were absolutely stellar.
After spending much time arguing here about what a great job Capcom was doing promoting and appealing to a brand new audience I feel pretty good about that. But more importantly it's great to see Capcom knock it out of the park with what was really a risky move. Monster Hunter can now potentially become a world wide hit franchise for years to come. This situation has to be a shareholder dream.

I think we should wait for more than a day before making these statements.
Nah it's fine. The signs have been here for while, and now they're basically confirmed. At some point people (and by that I mean the last remnants of doubters mostly found in this thread) need to get their head out of the sand.
But I guess we can wait for an official Capcom statement, which I assume will come very soon.
Nothing has been confirmed besides Capcom making a well received game and a 1 million shipment to Japan.
