Media Create Sales: Week 29, 2021 (Jul 19 - Jul 25)

 

[Bruno MB]

Damn, NEO: The World Ends with You has badly flopped in Japan.

 

[mrmickfran]

Oh my fucking god those TWEWY numbers

 

[Blade24070]

Damn, two high profile flops.

 

[RailWays]

Pretty low SW this week. Nice PS5 HW bump though

 

[Tbone5189]

Not too bad of a week

edit: upon further investigation, yeah not a good week lol. At least ps5 got a bump. NSW hanging that 60k range. Hopefully OBON treats it good

 

[Aleh]

Yeesh those TWEWY numbers

 

[cw_sasuke]

Those NEO numbers are rough - the West will have to come though for this one.

Damn, two high profile flops.

Click to shrink...

I see one "flop", not two and def. not high profile.

 

[Gartooth]

Holy shit, Neo flopped hard. Way less than the debut for the original on DS if I remember right.

 

[madstarr12]

Yikes @ The World Flops with You. What a mess.

 

[Forkball]

It's too hot to go outside and buy games. A sound theory.

 

[Sandfox]

Damn, two high profile flops.

Click to shrink...

GAA was never going to do much in Japan.

 

[Broseph]

Damn hope NEO does decently in the West because this is really rough in Japan

 

[hiska-kun]

That's what we call a bomba.

 

[Tialo]

To be honest, I think that these software sales are not so overwhelming in general.

SS HD, MH Stories 2 and Neo TWEWY are all looking not soo great. Even Shinshan could have done better.

 

[jett]

I hope the great bomb attorney does better elsewhere.

 

[Oregano]

Ouch @NTWEWY. Even worse than expected.

Those NEO numbers are rough - the West will have to come though for this one.

I see one "flop", not two and def. not high profile.

Click to shrink...

😬

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Neo barely did better than the rerelease of OG on Switch, oof.

 

[schuelma]

ace attorney numbers are fine for what it is.

Neo on the other hand....

 

[Raijinto]

What did TGAAC sell on PS4?

 

[Welfare]

Xbox keeping to over 1,000 a week. Excellent. S also over X again, so it looks like it's the S' turn for priority.

 

[Deleted member 80102]

Why are we shocked? NEO was sent out to die, barely any marketing from SE and obviously Nintendo wasn't going to push the game much since it wasn't an exclusive.

 

[mrmickfran]

TWEWY is definitely dead now

I'm so upset, this is such a great series

 

[Deleted member 10737]

bad launch for twewy ;_;

 

[WestEgg]

Skyward Sword is looking to have respectable legs, and Xbox is staying above 1k.

 

[Kouriozan]

RIP Nomura's extended universe with Sora landing up in TWEWY.
Only solution is to turn Kingdom Hearts into it, just like he's doing with Versus XIII, I mean Verum Rex.

 

[Lotus]

Painful seeing those NEO numbers...

 

[Zalman]

TWEWY is one of the best games of the year. Shame.

GAA numbers are also a shame but at least this is a rerelease for Japan.

 

[Chris1964]

If The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is considered a bomb then you don't know the meaning of the word.

To be honest, I think that these software sales are not so overwhelming in general.

SS HD, MH Stories 2 and Neo TWEWY are all looking not soo great. Even Shinshan could have done better.

I wouldn't lump Skyward Sword in with TWEWY. I would say it's doing fine for what it is.

With MHS2 I think that really depends on what your expectations were.

Neo: The Franchise Ends with This Game

 

[TheDinoman]

I went onto Game Data Library and saw that the first TWEWY sold 81,326 in its FW when it came out. So yeah...this is pretty fucking bad.

I do think TWEWY fans should at least be happy that they got this far and got a new game to begin with.

hecking oof

Damn Neo's numbers are really sad

 

[ILikeFeet]

Neo TWEWY barely had any promotion. Despite the cartoon, SE didn't have much faith in it for a while. I guess it was an inexpensive endeavor

 

[vixolus]

Big PS5 numbers.

XSS remaining ahead of XSX is interesting. Starting a trend. MS did say Japan is a good market for XSS and it's showing now these past few weeks

 

[lightning16]

I was expecting bad sales for TWEWY but I don't know if I was expecting that bad. Shame too since it sounds like a really good game.

 

[808s & Villainy]

I've seen more advertising for No More Heroes 3 and for SMT5 than I did for NEO: TWEWY
Let that sink in

The Great Ace Attorney games originally sold 135k & 69k respectively when they came out on the 3DS several years ago.

To be honest, I had high expectations for MHS2, because the game was promoted very deeply by Nintendo in advance and most of the Switch software has been done very well through the last years.

I expected MHS2 to exceed sales of its predecessor by a quite margin, but this is not the case. MHS2 will be on par with the sales of its predecessor and this is of course a small disappointement for me under the given circumstances.

Yes, but this is a re-release in Japan, those almost never do anywhere near as well. Judging the game based on sales in Japan doesn't make much sense.

 

[Isotope]

Poor NEO; guess this franchise is definitely done. Happy to at least gotten a sequel to one of my favorite games.

Both of those titles are platform exclusive, so it makes sense.

 

[Chris1964]

Neo underperformance is in line with expectations, with eShop position Ace Attorney looks to have overperformed even if PS4 version collapsed comparing to Switch.

 

[foxuzamaki]

I kinda want to see what took the 11th spot and by how much to see how close the ps4 version just missed top 10

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

Great Ace Attorney Chronicle numbers I get since this for Japan this is a re-release of two 3DS games in one package.
NEO TWEWY numbers make me sad, but also the game seemed to be barely acknowledged by Square-Enix as the release date approached, so it is not like they put much effort into raising awareness for this game.

 

[Mickagau]

Actually NEO got a bit of promotion in Japan, way more than in the west at least.
Those numbers are yikes indeed. Too bad, the game is really good.
I have not much faith in western sales but the demand for these kind of games seems higher than Japan nowadays.

I really don't know why they didn't ask Nintendo for any help advertising

ITS A BOMBALICIOUS WEEK

 

[Mpl90]

I was hoping for higher numbers for The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles (around 2x for the Switch version), but the game won't have any issue at crossing Capcom's forecast for it either way. Capcom is expecting 300k, and TGAA had a way better start than the 2019's Trilogy port (especially on the eShop I'd dare to say). It's far from being a bomba.

Neo The World Ends With You, on the other hand...I didn't have high expectations in the first place, but still yikes. I fear that Square Enix wasn't able to properly convey the game's appeal to a more general audience at all.
