Media Create Sales: Week 30, 2018 (Jul 23 - Jul 29)

Chris1964 · Aug 1, 2018

As far as I know SE never gave a release window for Dragon Quest Builders 2 neither mentioned 2018 officially.

Deleted member 9584 · Aug 1, 2018

Yeah Square Enix screwed up big time in regards to Octopath Traveller demand.

foxuzamaki · Aug 1, 2018

I usually some times forget to look at last year in comparison but holy shit, last year saw huge numbers for switch and PS4 and PS4 even won that week, im assuming it was splatoon 2 effect and DQ11 launch

ACL · Aug 1, 2018

Considering Youkai Watch 4, Smash and Pokemon for late 2018 on Switch, I would like to see DQBuilders2 on Q1 or Q2 2019.

I looked up NIS' earnings release from May (so over Q1 2018) and they had a big increase in revenue and profit compared to Q1 2017. However, they didn't give a sales split: no mobile vs console, no Japan vs west, no self-developed vs published. But they only have one big mobile thing as far as I know and that's Makai Wars - although they are still working on a Yomawari mobile game/port. To say their self-developed console business is just one of many things doesn't sound right to me; it looks like their console business is a much bigger investment, so it should also give significantly more returns.

As for NIS America, if they "didn't have enough to do", why did they let it come so far that they still were too tight on localisation and QA schedules? The brand got quite a lot of damage in the last couple of years. Sounds unnecessary to me. Things like the Ys 8 PC debacle probably cost them more sales than it would've cost them to make sure the thing was clean and ready on first try, or am I wrong?

with Ys, they seemed to balance the poor PC launch with a great Switch launch. not having the same issues (issues that are fixed with the day 1 patch upon trying to boot the game) allowed the game to carry a much more positive word of mouth. I don't think they'd have much to fear from the PC crowd as long as the Switch crowd picks up the slack if they get Trails of Cold Steel

Momo · Aug 1, 2018

Between Xenoblade 2 and Octopath Traveler, Nintendo has cultivated a sizable RPG audience for the Switch. I wonder how Torna ~ The Golden Country will fare once it launches. Hopefully it's opening is bigger than XC2 and OT in the first week, but I don't know if that's doable since it's just an expansion. Sales will be split evenly between the physical and digital copies, I'd imagine.

That won't happen. I have a feeling it gonna sell like 20-30K at retail max FW.

Yeah, little chance of that happening: it's not a mainline release, and is furthermore split between the expansion pass and the standalone release, where the standalone release is more expensive.

It's comparable to UC4 vs. UC:TLL imo.

I've said it before, NIS/NISA have had the best luck and support (both ways) on Switch.

It's almost good fortune for them if they do pick up the Cold Steel games and get them all on Switch, because to me the Switch audience has been very positively receiving NIS/NISA IMO.

Yeah the traditional fanbase on other systems will not exactly like it, but even Ys 8 is doing very well on Switch (apparently best out of all versions despite being the last one to get the game).

Chris1964 · Aug 1, 2018

The bundles didn't do many things for 3DS hardware. If it doesn't show a respectable rise at Obon with the releases it has after December it will be DOA.

i mean it didn't look like they had enough to localize. if i were to guess, they had a lean year or two as they were transitioning out of anime. this could have led to bids not getting picked up and then an overcorrection where they started to win every bid they made. just a guess though, going from how heavy 2017 and 2018 look compared to 2015 and 2016. ys viii pc wouldn't have been affected by that in particular though. that is more of a general lack of understanding of pc, i think, which honestly goes as far back as cladun in 2012 but also includes disgaea pc. since january or so, they have a lot more involvement with the programming and a much more in-depth qa process than what was there originally.

Hero of Legend said:
I wonder if NIS/NISA have any other bigger projects coming up (particularly for Switch) that haven't been announced yet.

Any new hints maybe Anihawk? :P

there should be a localization announcement pretty soon. of course it's for next year at this stage. as far as big projects go and specifically for switch, you'll probably have to wait until 2019 for a nintendo direct or their press event. it's usually at this time of the year that they go relatively quiet on game announcements.

MysticGon · Aug 1, 2018

Well PS4 2018 will likely fall behind 2017 next week or so. It's a shame but oh well.

It was bound to happen unfortunately. The MHW hardware push hid the fact that PS4's weekly sales were noticeably worse than last year.

It's no surprise, of course: a system in its fiifth year isn't expected to be up YOY.

So the hint is a localization of a bigger project on Switch being announced soon for release in 2019, correct? Is this an existing Switch game or is this another Ys 8 and The Caligula Effect: Overdose sort of all-new Switch port?

EOX is the biggest release of the week and maybe year for the 3DS at least in terms of FW numbers.

not too shabby.

Anyone who would have suggested here this kind of number for Monster Hunter World before the release would have earned 20 pages of "lol", just like Dragon Quest XI was not supposed to reach a million on PS4.

How many home console games in Japan ever reached this kind of height on PlayStation ? Using Famitsu archives and if I didn't overlooked anyone, only five games did better : Final Fantasy X (3 million), Final Fantasy VIII (3,5 million), Dragon Quest VIII (3,7 million), Dragon Quest VII (3,8 million) and Final Fantasy VII (3,9 million).

What happened is Monster Hunter has made history on PS4, even more when you know in what kind of landscape the japanese home console market is stucked right now, and anecdotally the next PlayStation Awards are going to present their very first "triple platinum" award.

no - the localization project for switch is a small one, but it'll come out in 2019. any other big announcement will probably happen next year. nisa's been getting some nintendo direct support since 2017 so there might be something there later this year or early next year, or at their press event.

sure. i could see something like that happening, but it would have to be a special project. they're doing a lot of mid-sized games right now so they would need to clear off space for something like that. if it's coming out for switch, that's even better.

Yeah, now that you mention it, they indeed had less than half the amount of releases in 2015 and 2016 compared to 2017, and 2018.

I don't know how localisation and translation works, but couldn't some people who do Japanese-to-English also do English-to-Japanese and for example help western developers get their games released in Japan? Since early 2017, NIS has Nippon Ichi Indie Spirits, which brings western indies to Japan. Are those games also translated and localised by NISA or are they handled in Japan? Because that brings extra workload to the table.

Right, so in the BD example above, even with stock issues like OT, it couldn't increase its sales when the stock issues were resolved going by those numbers - so I'm not really holding on to much hope OT will be any different. Though maybe there's a better example of a game that ran out of stock, dropped to 20% of it's first week sales due to stock in week 2, then in week 3 rose like 300% when stock was resolved?

BD stock problems were nowhere close to OT. Just at its second week it faced short supply.

Obon is close, we'll see soon how much power it has.

Edit: Dragon Quest Monsters 2: Joker Professional is a good example if you want to see what happens when a game in high demand lacks supply. Digital didn't exist back then.

Same for Bravely Default. Digital release came out 3 weeks later in year 2012 for a 3DS game. 2018, digital and Switch are very different from then.

20-30k would be horrible imo. If Nintendo shipped over 300k of the original game in Japan there is no way the expansion should do a tenth of the sales.

i don't think nisa has any e-j translators for that purpose. they certainly don't have any japanese editors either, so i think it's just a business for nis.

I'm shocked Mega Man sold almost twice as much on the PS4 as on the Switch. Would have thought the audience for that was on the Switch.

MHW is officially dead in Japan. Not even the bundle could move the needle on the PS4

Not saying this is the reason, but a proper physical version is effectively cheaper.

Also, while 2D retro market seems to be huge on Switch in the west, not sure it's the same in Japan. PS4 having a more hardcore, older userbase in Japan may be better aligned for MM than the younger, more mainstream userbase on Switch.

I dunno

The game already did its massive hardware boost in Jan though. Its one of the most purchased used games at GEO so it is still liked it seems.

As for Mega Man I imagint that the fanbase for MMX is mlre sony dominant. That said if you include collection 1 solo on Switch its at about 2/3rds of the PS4.

I'm more surprised they sold 50k units of Mega Man week one. I didnt think the series had anything in the tank in Japan

Switch software is insane (yeah I know, we say it every week)

It truly is impressive

Chris1964 · Aug 2, 2018

Switch can have more than 70% of Japanese hardware and software market this half in Japan so don't expect things to change until December.

Mory Dunz · Aug 2, 2018

labo and 1-2 switch increase. hm

Ximonz · Aug 2, 2018

Do we know how many copies of ys 8 was shipped?

20-30k would be horrible imo. If Nintendo shipped over 300k of the original game in Japan there is no way the expansion should do a tenth of the sales.

I'm, talking about retail FW. It won't be horrible (like 1/3 or so), because a lot of people bought an expansion pass on eShop from the very beginning - when Xeno 2 just released (or even just became available for preorder). Expansion pass owners received a lot of additional content since then, and final part of that promised content is a story expansion / prequel game, which be released at retail as well (retail edition only annouced at E3 2018).

Situation is similar to Uncharted: Lost Legacy. Look at its retail sales compared to Uncharted 4. They were nowhere near WW, because a lot of U4 players received LL after buying an expansion pass early (they paid for it early).

From the sell-throughs IIRC not much over 12-15k? It passed 10k at last check I believe.

SinCityAssassin · Aug 2, 2018

Just to provide context on why Megaman X sells better on PS4.

Between 15-17k according to Famitsu.
Dengeki had the game around 11,5k last week. Some stores will need a few new copies.
