Obviously we will know a lot more Wednesday, but early indications on Famista seems like a 100K title to me.
Switch Pro Baseball Famista Evolution ranked 2nd and Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum 'n' Fun! 4th. For these two titles legs are expected. .
It's a port of a Vita game not many cared originally despite great word of mouth. Expect zero legs.

There is no info for OT restocks this week so far, big or medium. Square missing pre Obon week is a possibility.
There's no marketing at all and it's an enhanced port of a game that's almost 2 years old. I expect Setsuna/Sphear numbers unfortunately.
On Switch. I expect <20k. I think Setsuna was like <10k.?
Setsuna did almost 60k FW. Lost Sphear did around 14k.
Scarlet Grace did 58k FW.
What do you mean? It is because of cart production that there are ongoing shortages. Is that hard to understand? When was the last time you saw this with a disc release? The restocks are limited because they can only produce limited stock each time.This degree of shortages has nothing to do with carts at this point. SE just fucked up, simple as that.
They fucked up really badly.
Yeah I mean I just expect it to tank. This is also a late port.You didn't specify the platform. Setsuna was a late porting on Switch but Sphear was released simultaneously.

It was supposed to be a billion seller. My heart cannot be broken again....GEO reported high sell-through for both versions. It might not open high but at least it wont bomb.
especially exceeded in US and Europe?
really?
from day one I figured 75% or so of it's sales would come from the west. eh
wonder if higher than normal digital means "higher than normal in general" or "higher than normal on switch"
yea, i'm surprised they're surprised75% is basically the Western HW ratio for the Switch. Games that got a WW release with a different repartition between Japan/West will be the exceptions.
It's in Octopath Traveler 4 and 5 you'll get your 2 and 3 announcements.I misread those tweets as confirmation of Octopath Traveller 2 and Octopath Traveler 3, hahaha.
It's pretty easy to see that they underestimated how popular the game was going to be.
I wouldn't expect anything. SE discussed a remake of DQ3 a few years back, but have no plans to do one now.Going by past trends, will we get a Dragon Quest remake next year ? And when do they usually announce these games ?

These games getting the FF IV PSP treatment would have been great ...sadly SE doesn't agree.I think it's time to give FFV and FFVI a chance by developing remakes that are faithful to the original material.

With the existence of the current ports of the original games, you'll get a 3D version, much like FF 3 and 4. At this point, I'd assume anything else is out of the questionI think it's time to give FFV and FFVI a chance by developing remakes that are faithful to the original material.
That to a certain extent this is cart production related I would agree, but how do you explain Toad getting this week sufficient new stock in?What do you mean?

One company controls the entire cart supply line, while the other doesn't. They both compete for carts, who do you think will get the most copies? I don't think Nintendo is really fair with this stuff.That to a certain extent this is cart production related I would agree, but how do you explain Toad getting this week sufficient new stock in?

I have no idea what the supply situation is but surely Captain Toad is more profitable for Nintendo to sell than a Square Enix game.But isn't Nintendo also publishing Octopath everywhere outside Japan?
The next DQ to remake is less than ten years old, I think we won't see it any time soon. I do expext some kind of DQM news after DQB2 comes out.What's the next fro DQ on consoles?
Builders 2 has been announced but what about DQ Monsters? And DQ remakes?
I have no idea what the supply situation is but surely Captain Toad is more profitable for Nintendo to sell than a Square Enix game.

The difference in price might make Octopath more profitable than Captain Toad for Nintendo...
However, it is clear that a copy of Octopath sold in the West is more profitable than a copy sold in Japan and since Europe is currently facing severe supply issues for the game, Nintendo might favor this market over Square and Japan.
This will definitely cause lost sales, especially in Japan, probably much more than the extra profit from digital.Actually, isn't it in their best interest to stop cart production nearly completely? Selling all digital copies would yield the most profit would it not? It would also provide the added benefit of destroying the used game sales of which they see no profit from.
I bet the next remake will be DQM Caravan Heart from Tose. Only question is Switch exclusive or Switch+PS4.Going by past trends, will we get a Dragon Quest remake next year ? And when do they usually announce these games ?
Last time with a disc was probably MHP3. It's likely less about the media type itself (silicon vs optical) and more about Switch using an entirely customized format from Macronix while all the Blu-ray consoles can use long established cross-industry manufacturing from a variety of vendors. If Nintendo could contract out more factories in cases like this Switch software shortages could probably be alleviated much sooner.What do you mean? It is because of cart production that there are ongoing shortages. Is that hard to understand? When was the last time you saw this with a disc release?
