Nintendo fucked up when they announced that Pokémon and Smash bundles. I know I'm holding out for a Smash one.

What a second week for Spider-Man, holy crap. My 200k lifetime prediction was rather embarrassing in retrospective xD

What do we reckon, any chance Spiderman hits, say, 550K (incl. Digital) by the end of the year??

It's hard to say. Right now the game is having great legs because I guess the word of mouth took everyone by surprise, so more people are exposed to the game. But the way those PS4 sell, it could disappear in two weeks and never come back. And it's obviously not a system seller. MHW did the same, good legs initially because of limited stocks but completely gone now.

The only big PS4 game sticking around for a while I can think of recently is Nier.

So happy for Insomniac with those impressive sales and legs of Spiderman, they are the real star here

Well, putting aside Minecraft and Black Ops III which are not real SIE games, looks like Spider-Man will be the best selling exclusive from the publisher in Japan. Unexpected to say the least, but there is still The Last of Us II to take that crown.
I feel like Spiderman has more mainstream appeal than TLoU II in JP, just b/c it's Spiderman. Also amazing Spiderman legs.

How is Undertale physical handled in Japan, is it also in a kind of limited release format like in the West?

September in Japan was rough last year too, even with the Splatoon 2 hysteria going on. Week 40 (Super Mario Party) is when we're gonna see some changes I think.

The drive kit selling like this is especially sad because it looks like the meatiest of the three games. I think it's time to prepare the nails for Labo's coffin.

Actually incredible legs for Spiderman considering past Japanese market patterns as far as Sony exclusives go. It will sell 10m in no time.

So I know there could be a few announcements during TGS proper, but my sense is 3rd party offerings this year are pretty weak? PS4 had some nice titles announced last week but a few of them seem a long ways off. Switch has had a decent volume of announcements but nothing too major.

14./14. [3DS] Pokemon Ultra Sun / Ultra Moon <RPG> (Pokemon Co.) {2017.11.17} (¥4.980) - 4.830 / 1.724.983 (+1%)



Good legs here.

Impressive hold for Spidey

I'd say above 300k (digital + retail) is more than possible.

500k or more than that seems fairly impossible...

300k is not more than possible, it's already 100% guaranteed, PS4 games have strong digital sales (especially with out of stock releases which Spiderman was to some degree) and the game was already around 250k by the end of last week.
400k is perfectly doable and anything above that will depend on its legs, we'll see.

Good job Spider-Man. What does the stock situation look like so far if someone happens to have some anecdotes?

teh best joke of the year will be IF this is withing Nintendo expectations for Labo

If Nintendo is serious about Labo as a platform, we will see an uptick in marketing closer to the holidays. Nintendo can say they're within their expectations all they want, I don't think retailers love having three of these things rot on their shelves.
