Media Create Sales: Week 3, 2020 (Jan 13 - Jan 19)
- Thread starter Chris1964
- Start date
Do you mean in terms of releases? Because last year's sales were quite strong during this quarter (which also is what makes these current Switch numbers so impressive).
Even if the changes were not there the game would have bombed. It's simply an undesirable game and no console no matter how big the installed base is would have saved that game, period. They could include all the vagina bones in the world and no one would care.
Remember he said FY so he's referring to jan-mar. I might be forgetting something but it wasn't particularly strong last year was it?
Yeah, definitely strange. Can't think of anything but maybe people held onto their money for Pokemon to release two weeks later? Could be a load of bull though lol
I don't see why not. It seems like a solid JRPG that is well-received by people who actually play it.
Localization issues apparently had a negative impact.
Only 2,1K PS4 versus 4,1K for PS4 Pro seems somehow unusual, unless there was some price cut remaining for the Pro model ?
I dunno, I could see Switch's peak year being next year depending on a lot of different factors. There's still things like pro model, price cut, BOTW2, next 3D Mario, and potentially 2D Mario or Mario Kart games they could put out. 2021 should also see a new Pokemon game of some sort (probably remakes).
I know pretty much everyone is down on the odds of another Mario Kart for Switch, but if Tatsumi Kimishima was serious about the Switch having a long life, something like Mario Kart 9 launched with bundles and a price drop in 2021, along with Breath of the Wild 2 and a pro model, would do wonders for sales.
What other new voucher games are there soon except Animal Crossing?
I'm not convinced that pro-vagina bones was anything more than statistical noise. There were rpgs that sold better on the Wii u and this game didn't match that.
Switch will peak this year probably.
Man, when you see those numbers and then look at Japanese publishers decisions... lol.

Those RPGs were released earlier on the WiiU's life, not when it was already dead (Aside from Paper Mario: Color Splash but again, Mario).
The new release numbers do feel underwhelming across the board, and all the new releases feel like games where the Japanese performance matters a lot besides DBZ which will probably perform pretty well in a lot of places. I guess the hope for TMS is that it looks like it had an incredibly small shipment so maybe some combination of very low expectations + higher than usual digital numbers will make it look a bit less bad than it currently does. It's a shame because it's a very good game.
"Real world consumer" aren't interested by TMS. And the hardcore ones that are consider what games they'll use their vouchers on.
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. Xenoblade DE.
+ add the ones recently released like Brain Age or similar.
Pro selling almost double of base PS4 model would indicate that there are some stock issues. Not that extra few thousands would change anything though.
Yes, and one day after it turns 3, it will be in its 4th year.
The best JRPG on the chart just keeps going and going and going...
Lies. For real though, will never understand why they went with the censored version.
I don't think those circumstances matter when looking at voucher share. People would use a voucher on this because it saves them like 4k yen compared to the retail price.
I am very curious how Pokemon will behave throughout the year with DLC. Anyways good numbers for Switch, Yakuza 7 seems fine but sad its another decline.
Now Nintendo ... there's 1 RPG from the WiiU that will probably sell better if it comes to the Switch heh

nothing as strong as Animal Crossing
AC is Pokemon tier, few games get close to that.
TMS bombed on WiiU and it is bombing even harder on Switch
It seems there is not much of an audience for it : Fire Emblem, Shin Megami Tensei or Persona fans don't seem to care.
I'm surprised Nintendo gave it a second chance of all WiiU games (not judging the quality of the game)
If TW101 happens, I predict the same faith for it.

Poeple really overestimating how much persons care about "Censorship in mah games!"
Sorry to say but i think TMS just appeals to a very very niche audience even if its a good RPG it doesnt matter

Exactly ,I think the concept is a dead-end sales wise
It is a solid JRPG and I wish it would do better but it's clear that it's not resonating well with the general audience. The original Wii U release was uncensored and it barely did better.
When the freaking national dex fiasco had no impact on the sales numbers of Sword/Shield then a changed wedding dress and less sexualized characters less than ever.
Less work probably. Working in on two different versions isn't worth what this game would sell
02./00. [3DS] Dragon Ball: Fusions # <RPG> (Bandai Namco Games) {2016.08.04} (¥5.700) - 81.548 / NEW <60-80%>
Not so bad? It did better first week on the Wii U. nothing about this is good news.
I do find it funny that you think W101 would do any better. The sales of TMS show that flopping on the Wii U means it'll flop on the Switch as well. If I recall, W101 did even worse that TMS did.
Yes, 2020 is year 4
Year 1-2017
Year 2-2018
Year 3-2019
Year 4-2020

Just seeing that gif makes my glutes hurt. Stupid wide squats.
Switch's first three weeks of the year add up to a higher YTD (497K) than 3ds' biggest years (2012 and 2013) had after 3 weeks:

I know some people like to blame the Wii U for the underperformance of a few games. While it might be partially true it was never the Wii U's sole fault but also the fault of the games themselves.
