Media Create Sales: Week 32, 2018 (Aug 06 - Aug 12)

No PSV titles for sure.
PS4 2 at best (Yakuza and Pro Wrestling).
Splatoon 2 bundles are not tracked in these chain rankings.
Yup, that was certainly a weak Summer overall, not just Obon. Lack of big hit like Yo-kai Watch the previous years and DQXI and Splatoon 2 last year really hurt.A damn shame, because Switch Software is doing great.
Thanks to you both.
Splatoon 2 seems to be the logical choice but Minecraft seems to surprise quite a lot :
YSO predictions for Obon week.
01. [NSW] Splatoon 2 < 30k (average 25k) [week 57]
02. [NSW] Mario Kart 8 Deluxe < 25k (average 20k) [week 69]
03. [NSW] Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum 'n' Fun! < 25k (average 20k) [week 5]

And 2 or 3 for 3DS: WarioWare Pokemon, Captain Toad.
Switch will take 15 or 16 spots from top 20, previous record was 14 at week 30.
The Switch version MHA is already sold out on Amazon.
Game is coming August 23th. 1st day sell-through is going to be interesting.

It looked exactly like the first game then.
The gap in raw power wasn't that big between PS2 and Wii and Arc Rise Fantasia was a mid-low budget JRPG and the first attempt of a full 3D title by a rather new studio, by almost every standard it looked like a PS2 game (which is perfectly fine btw).

Splatoon 2 will be around 25-30k at Media Create and 30-35k at Famitsu. If Minecraft has some small chances to top these numbers it will be at Media Create.
Not that I thought it would, but there goes any chance of Luigi being sushi striker'd.
can't see it personally.
it'll be 2019 and bomb

This pic is glorious. Sakura Taisen is one of my favorite series, and I own multiple copies of ST3. If I am able to find all of them in the wild, in such good condition, I don't know what I would do.
Ever the optimist :p. I think they will probably all fall short of those expectations.
Switch HW never seems to get as big of a bump as expected. At the moment I think 60K is more realistic.
Not a worldwide release after all. October 12th for NA. No idea about Japan...
I don't know whether they view Torna as a notable release but there is going to be a big Direct before Super Mario Party's launch. Game is a 5m+ seller, they are going to push it.
I also expect (hope) for one more surprise for the end of the year to be introduced in this direct.
if it's before the end of year, it'd be a 3rd party port.
Or a 1st party somewhat minor port.
more interested in Q1 though.
And whatever they bring to TGA.

N64 Mini, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe and maybe Labo 04 are everything Nintendo related that are rumoured for this year. From third parties there won't be any unknown important titles for Switch or PS4, we know their schedule until December.
Still hoping for that GTAV port... seemed like the perfect timing.
I was more expecting a big port, ala Doom last year. Possibly GTA. Hopefully something else.
What is your expectations for these games ?
TGS/Direct should bring more info, there are suspiciously too few games in November.
Last year's biggest November title outside Pokémon was Kirby: Battle Royale, followed by Star Wars: Battlefront II. No other game released in November crossed 100k.
I don't know---they still shipped 1m+ units across the globe. They had lower expectations but not as low.

That I put Yakuza 4 in there shows how laughable the situation is. We know what's coming this year from third parties more or less, whatever is revealed at TGS won't be for 2018.
Nintendo publishes the game outside Japan, Square only publishes in Japan with these pitiful re-supplies :(
Big JP publishers chasing a WW audience but are too small to compete with the bigger fish this Q4.
Thanks to L5 and Nintendo, Q4 should be bigger than last year tho.
Metroid Prime trilogy would be a good fit. Either Q3 or Q4, perhaps announces at the game awards with a prime 4 trailer like last year's Bayonetta reveals

Inazuma Eleven Ares isn't unlikely to have another delay to 2019 as long as there aren't news for it and December approaches fast.
I expect something hardcore focused at TGA again this year, so probably MP4 teaser + collection announcement for Q1 2019
I don't think IE Ares will launch this year.
Level 5 will try to make the possible to launch YW4 in December, even if this means to delay everything else to finish it.
The only missing title I see is DQ Builders 2, but this could be delayed too, and launched in January.
