Dengeki
Fiscal Year 2018 (April 1st to July 29th)
As of June, market was actually slightly up: +3.09% (56.9 billion Yen). July alone tanked sales hard.
- Hardware: 1 220 000 units (-31.4%) / 35.7 billion Yen (-24.7%)
- Software: 5.95 million units (-31.2%) / 38.5 billion Yen (-27.6%)
- Total: 74.2 billion Yen (-26.2%)
July 2017:
- DQXI + Splatoon 2 = 2.84 million units, 19.8 billion Yen
July and August 2017:
- DQXI + Splatoon 2 = 4 million units, 28 billion Yen
Will be hard for August to compensate for July, so market will most likely still be down Year on Year as of the end of August.

I'd imagine with the SW lineup being so backended this year things will change quickly come the holidays. Pokemon, smash and YW4 are going to move a metric ton of SW this year.
Luigi's Mansion is theoretically a big game this year and likely a holiday release but with the rate 3DS software sales collapse it could end another 100-200k seller.
NOE seems to have reversed their stance on Capcom btw. Turns out they distributed the Street Fighter Collection for them and are doing MHGU too.
Nintendo distribution is a definite perk in Europe. It's not really about needing it or not.
If you're curious these are the Japanese 3rd party published Switch games NOE has/is handling distribution for that I'm aware of:
They've also done distrubition on lots of western games btw (Skyrim, FIFA, Minecraft, Doom, Wolfenstein, Mario+Rabbids, Just Dance, Rayman Legends, South Park, Rocket League, Overcooked, Payday 2, Runbow, LEGO, Crash, etc, etc). Publishers like EA or Ubisoft certainly don't "need" it either.

This is probably not news to a lot of people in here, but I didn't realize there was a publisher named Flyhigh Works specializing in bringing small Japanese indie games to Switch.
As far as I know, people are always thinking Circle is Flyhigh Works, Flyhigh Works is Circle. We are okay with that as it is very clear that we want to make the developers happy. We want to use our record to create a successful reputation in Japan but we don't want to use two labels in one region. That's why we keep Flyhigh Works in Japan and most of the Western countries are by Circle.
Yeah, I may be wrong on this. I was looking at Nintendo's UK online store (not eShop) which only carries Nintendo published or distributed games for 3DS, DS, Wii U and Wii so I assumed it was consistent for Switch but perhaps they opened that up. Their US online store only carries Nintendo publushed or distributed games across all platforms as well (Switch included, USF2 being the only 3rd party game which NOA did distribute for Capcom). The contintental European stores definitely carry other 3rd party software but they're also branded differently (MyNintendo Store) like Japan.Could you clarify for me where you're finding that SF30TH is being distributed by Nintendo of Europe?
I decided to check against your list, and games like Dragon Quest Builders, Octopath Traveler, Skyrim and Doom are definitely imported by Nintendo of Europe.
But when I look at the following:
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, importer:
CE Europe Ltd
The Metro Building, 3rd Floor, 1 Butterwick, Hammersmith
London W6 8DL
Sonic Mania Plus, importer: Sega Europe
Super Bomberman R, importer: Konami Digital Entertainment
Rayman Legends, importer: Ubisoft Ranger house, Walnut Tree Close, GUILDFORD United Kingdom
Crash Bandicoot Trilogy, importer: Activision Blizzard International BV, Stroombaan 16, 1181 VX Amstelveen, Netherlands
====
I'm finding inconsistencies, so I was just wondering where you found who distributes what?

oh. why was OoT cheaper in comparison? Just priced lower?Dem N64 cartridges. N64 games were usually expensive as hell all around the world. Especially compared to PS1 games. Gonna take some time for Odyssey to match Mario 64 in revenue lol.
Ocarina of Time came out 2,5 years later. Super Mario 64 was only 8 MB comparing to the 32 of Ocarina of Time but the initial wave of 1996 releases were all priced at 9.800 yen. Prices started dropping from 1997.

Cartridges take a while to make and small batch cartridges are t going to get manufacturing priority.
The way games media works in Japan involves such things as "Mail in all the questions and answers from your interview to the publisher for approval and corporate editing", so there's not going to be a Japanese media question that ever asks anything beyond the softest of soft questions.Also, why no one at Japanese media is questioning them about it?
Cartridges take a while to make and small batch cartridges are t going to get manufacturing priority.
They're ordering and shipping small batches out every so often.
Small shipments is the result of completely miscalculating demand, not being conservative.They're ordering and shipping small batches out every so often.
They're not sure what the actual demand is among those who won't go digital, so they do conservative orders each time, which each take a while.
Square Enix was expecting the game to sell 0 units after first week. They thought additional shipments weren't needed. And here we are.
in their defense, they didn't have any reason to think it was going to be any other way.
RPGs sales normally do drop from a cliff after 1st week.
If you add that it was a new IP, that it wasn't as edgy or AAA-looking as a Final Fantasy and on new, kinda unproven hardware, then it's no surprise we're here.
I get the feeling they don't mind that much, it's like they went into the whole thing thinking "I want my 100k and be done, that's all"

given it's a single player rpg with no extended play value (DLC, multiplayer), once this hits the used shops, it's all over.ok so what are everyone's bets this will turn into an evergreen*?
I'd say yes.
Why? cause games like Zelda and Mario Odyssey have had absolutely no business staying in the top 20 for a year (or half of it), and yet there they are.
I see no reason why Octopath should behave differently.
(*let's call an evergreen a game that stays in the Top 20 til at least January 1st 2019)
