Fire Emblem will be an interesting one to watch due to the 3DS significantly growing the audience, Heroes being a great success, and Switch having better momentum in the west than the 3DS did. Breaking 3m shipments will still be a tough task though.

06./01. [PS4] Marvel's Spider-Man # <ADV> (Sony Interactive Entertainment) {2018.09.07} (¥6.900) - 22.751 / 266.802 (-40%)
:thinkingemoji:
I didn't say it didn't sell well, I said that I cannot understand the interest, as in it does not look appealing to me. I am not speaking on behalf of Japan, this is my own personal judgement. Am I not allowed to have those?
That said, if they had been released the same day in Japan, how would that have turned out?
I believe they shipped 1M units for PS4, but the sell rate of the game was low so they don't expect any more shipments. Announcing 1M units shipped, but have them all stick on the store shelves ain't a good look

Switch 'Super Mario Party' first debuted for the first time. Aside from popularity of software, Joy-Con peripheral equipment sales are about three times as much as regular weekly, etc. We are showing the unique movements of the party game. Our limited water-bottled product is also popular. PS4 "Assassin's Creed Odyssey" ranked second in rank. Although this is the initial movement of about 90% in the previous work ratio, because the reputation from the purchaser is good, it can expect also the sale after the next week. In other new work PS 4 / Switch "Rockman 11 Fate of Gear !!" ranks 6th and 7th. (Buyer Mr. Takashi Muto Media Section 2 Department Media Department, Geo-Media Corporation)

Switch「スーパー マリオパーティ」が初登場1位となりました。ソフトの人気もさることながら、周辺機器のJoy-Conの売上が通常週の約3倍となるなど、パーティゲームならではの動きを見せております。弊社のオリジナルウォーターボトル付き限定商品も好評です。2位にはPS4「アサシンクリード オデッセイ」がランクインしました。こちらは前作比で9割程度の初動ですが、購入者からの評判が良いため、翌週以降の販売にも期待ができます。その他新作ではPS4/Switch「ロックマン 11 運命の歯車！！」が6位と7位にランクインしております。（株式会社ゲオ メディア商品部 メディア商品2課 バイヤー 武藤 崇史）

Whats not to understand? You play as one of the world's most popular superhero who can climb walls, has some strength, agillity and can swing around New York.
Thanks for posting the Geo remarks. ;)
Expected.
So, less than Origin (90% of origin) but some legs?
At first, I thought Switch sales were slightly up in September compared to August... but that's because September data had 5 weeks (only 4 for August).

Okay thanks Chris.
I remember that you said that retailers were taking preorders for the Pokemon/Smash bundles without Nintendo telling them to stop. I noticed that the Pikachu Switch bundle went out of stock in Amazon a few days back.
Is it because Nintendo finally put a ceiling on these preorders ?
Great for Koei Tecmo !
I was a little concerned for them this fiscal year but HW and Warriors Orochi seem to have done very well !

Isn't this the same everytime KT releases results?
They seem to do well enough everytime. Probably don't have crazy expectations for most of their stuff (example is the sellthrough of Orochi 4 being high on both PS4 and Switch even though the numbers are very different).
For you example, it says more on the retailers expectations than KT's.
HW and FEW did a lot of good for them these last years. Dynasty Warriors bombed hard so it is nice to see that they somewhat recovered from it.

A shame they do not provide updated sales data for HW.
Looks like Fitness Boxing is not a worldwide simultaneous release.
Japan gets it on December 20th. NoA is the outlier here.

Probably because Nintendo does publishing elsewhere, but it seems TK gets a nice cut if they can report increased income. Guess the best way to fight moose-y fatigue is to add an ip people give more of a shit about. Pokemon Warriors next? (Or Conquest 2)

The bundle is still available at other retailers, amazon might have reached its limit for first wave.
So far, it seems that titles published and developed by Nintendo get worldwide simultaneous releases, while titles developed by external parties and published by Nintendo in specific territories get different release dates per region. That was the case for Fire Emblem Warriors, Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, and now Fitness Boxing. I assume it'll be the same for Daemon x Machina.
That wall is right next to the main entrance of the mall so many people can see it. It always got rented by Nintendo or its affiliate. I have already seen Mario Kart 8 DX and Mario Tennis ads at the same place when I visited there for games.Hong-Kong
Looks like it.
It's not great. Seems weirdly ill fit for both with most of the block being cut out on switch and the monster being hidden by the logo on ps4Box-arts for Dragon Quest Builders 2 :

Wii U -> Switch: up port
Wii -> Switch: remaster
3DS -> Switch: remake
The only 3DS game that appeared to Switch is Sushi Striker and that's because Nintendo tried to save it from being a complete bomb.
You're all wrong. Next needs to be Kirby Musou.
People said the same thing about Fire Emblem Warriors and it sold over 1m (Switch + 3DS) in its first fiscal year. Hyrule Warriors shouldn't have troubles to sell additionnal copies with the big Holiday rush.
FEW did 1M? Uh, completely missed that for some reason.
I guess KT didn't expect a third version of a game to sell as if it was a first version maybe? HW was a better game than FEW imo anyway.
Fate Extella Link is coming to Switch on Jan 31st. (date may be place holder)

Since June. Comes out this holiday in the west. Actually that makes me wonder if Xseed will fast track the Switch port?
Is there anything added to this version or is it literally just a late port?
this will definitely won't break a million
Dynasty Warriors 9 XL: Apology Tour when?
apparently there's some character skins or some shit
In that post he even explained that the game don't appeal to him, it's why he don't understand the appeal that others see.
nice
Let's take a look at Marvelous' current Switch line-up:
Fate/Extella
Senran Kagura Reflexions
Assault Gunners HD
Little Dragon's Cafe (published in JP only, mainly an Aksys game)
Dragon Marked for Death (has an unknown involvement, likely through their Hakama division headed by Yoshifumi Hashimoto)
Peach Ball: Senran Kagura
Fate/Extella LINK
Daemon X Machina
Sengoku Night Blood (an otome game that's mainly by Idea Factory)
6 own games with three being related in some form.
Still needs work.
