I wonder if the positive wom will help push Arise a little in Japan.
Zesteria really tanked the series on top of declining Playstation software.

no waifu shenanigans so it'll have better wom than Zesty at least
In zesteria you had 1 waifu leaving early in the game.. and being sold as some dlc later on or something like that.
I dropped the game so early I didn't even reach that leaving part.
Did I misread ILikeFeet's comment? I thought he was saying no waifu shenanigans in Arise.
not what I mean. WoM got affected because of one of the advertised female characters wasn't the lead or something
I read it waifu lovers won't complain with Arise, so legs/sales won't suffer in Japan like they did with Zesteria.
But that's just my interpretation as a non native English speaker.
They're referring to the controversy ToZ had regarding the marketing of a character they sold DLC for and treated like trash in the game.
It's not really a waifu thing.
No, you misread it. Tales of Zestiria suffered from outcry because Alisha is replaced with Rose and then her story(?? Legit can't remember) is sold as DLC. People were pissed because she was marketed as the main heroine.
Yeah. For being an anniversary/commemorative game, Zestiria is filled with dubious decisions.
Tales of arise sold out again, Amazon jp wise.
I normally don't follow Japanese sales but I'm way too invested in Tales of Arise to ignore this thread. I really want it to do well everywhere.
Besides sales, does anyone know if Japanese players are enjoying Arise, like their western counterparts? I see it being sold out as a good starting point at least lol.

Doing great at yodobashi online rankings as well.
1st (ps4) and 3rd (ps5).
1st (ps4) and 3rd (ps5).
Yeah and as you can see from their trackers, it's not sold out. Game doesn't seem to have any supply problems.
No one said it's having those, just said it's selling out fast at amazon jp (already the 3rd time in 1 week) every time new stock comes in. It's a sign sales aren't slowing down as of yet.
I'd take being below ring fit, even when in stock as that not really being that true. PS5 version is already slipping.
The rankings and Amazon don't really tell us much. The game clearly doesn't have stock issues and it was obviously going to top rankings whether sales were good or bad.
It's obviously going to be the top selling game of the week, but I don't think there's much more to read into it.

the demand seems to be really high
at least they did a better job than SE at restocking🤭

WarioWare might be a little underestimated now that there's almost full picture for its early performance, it will open comfortably over 50k at retail and lifetime shipments should exceed half million without problem.
Like most Nintendo titles that belong to the family friendly/multiplayer category it didn't start moving until close to its release and there couldn't be safe estimates for its bottom or ceiling.

Couple of past Warioware (and the first Wario Lan) sell-in in Japan:
| Game | System | Publisher | Original Publisher | Sales | Updated as |
| Wario Land | GB | Nintendo | Nintendo | 1,59 | December 2006 |
| WarioWare: Touched! | DS | Nintendo | Nintendo | 1,26 | December 2018 |
| WarioWare: Smooth Moves | Wii | Nintendo | Nintendo | 0,72 | March 2007 |
Koei-Tecmo's secret TGS game is indeed Atelier, but not Ryza 3. Atelier Sophie 2 instead. I'm guessing this is getting a Direct reveal.

Interesting swerve.
12 Evergreens, GBG is yet to be seen if it'll stay for a long time on the list, with WarioWare coming up maybe it can become another one.
Clubhouse Gaming
Momotaro
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
ACNH
Minecraft
SSBU
Ring Fit Adventure
Pokémon SwSh
Super Mario Party
Splatoon 2
BotW
SM3DW
Question, which of the evergreens seen above will leave the top 30 first? BotW almost hit it a few times but it could be Super Mario Party if MPS overtakes it completely

It's gonna obviously have a decline in Japan, but seeing how Playstation software has been increasingly declining it should do well enough.
PS4 will do the majority of the lifting and I think sales for the game should be fine enough if the retailers estimate end up true. The west is where the game will likely overperform and Japan is where it will do ok.
Sophie 2? That's.......... interesting. Guess they won't want to overdo with Ryza.Koei-Tecmo's secret TGS game is indeed Atelier, but not Ryza 3. Atelier Sophie 2 instead. I'm guessing this is getting a Direct reveal.

A Direct? What is a Direct?
I was wondering why people said that the direct had to happen thus week or last week so I figured tgs was starting a y day now, googled it and tgs doesn't even start until the 30th, Nintendo literally has the whole month to show a direct, they can even skip next week if they want
Assuming it's already been recorded and everything, all they need is an employee to drop by the office for 2 hours and push the button
That is exactly what's this chart is... not doing ?
The Symphonia numbers are combining the GC SKU who got a worldwide release in 2003-2004 (300k Japan 960k worldwide) the PS2 SKU which was Japan only in 2004 (400k) the PS3 compilation remaster in 2013-2014 where it got combined with its sequel (<150k Japan, worldwide ???) , the subsequent Steam port that got offered for free as a preorder bonus for Zestiria in 2015
And the weird cheap SKU where it got combined with Graces F at some point in 2016 2017.
Vesperia is more or less the same, X360 release worldwide in 2008-9 (200k in Japan 400-500 outside Japan), Japan only PS3 SKU (500k) and the latest remaster on every possible platform worldwide (which crossed 1M at some point iirc
Like what sense would it make to combine the sales of Super Mario 64 with its digital rerelease on virtual console, it's DS remake and the Super Mario 3d anniversary collection?
Sure it's data, but when you combine everything and are not able to describe what the split is across time for the different SKU there's not many meaningful thing to deduce from that.
Did anyone even played the game in this topic before posting this and/or approving it?
The DLC was literally free for everyone who bought the game in the first month (so that's 99% of new copies sold) it also didn't add à character into the game but rather an extra epilogue that happened post ending.
From the moment it wasn't in late August as usual, I suspected it would be timed with the OLED pre-orders. So most likely next week.
That's not how it works. They also need press outlets to cover the stuff announced, so it won't be on the 23rd. Besides, companies almost never announce anything when everyone has the day off.
