Good opening for Super Mario Party.
Decent opening for assassin's creed odyssey.
Warriors orochi with a large drop; I wonder if it will reach 200k combined sales.
Weak opening for megaman 11.
Spider-Man climbing its way to 300k.
Switch hardware seeing an increase while ps4 seeing a decline.
An average week overall.

Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/ ¯. Personally I like it's quirkiness and Imagawa's sprite art, also especially interested in Inoue's scenario work even though he is sadly not the director.
SMP did very well and better than what I expected (around 100k). It will also pick up steam during holidays.
Switch line-up is very heterogeneous so all games will sell well. Pokémon aims at kids, Smash at hardcore gamers and SMP at both.
XV2 was supply constrained last year.

Famitsu number, but here it is:
Code:
PS2 Mega Man X8 15.499 35.546 Capcom 10/03/2005
After seeing the new Mega Man sales, I ask: What about those concerns regarding the third party games perfomance on Switch?
It's doing better digitally if initial eShop/Steam charts have shown.
Yeah sorry I meant that as in a good kind of "oof".
Too used to sales being lower than expectations now :p
Next week will be much better. I expect something near 30k.
for a game like MM, I would think a higher than normal amount of people would buy it digital, just due to the type of game it is and it not being a full $60 game. Especially for switch I would think digital % would be pretty high.
It'll be interesting. PS4 Pro price drop combined with CoD release could do it. That said,
these are last year's CoD PS4 sales numbers:
Code:
| PS4 # | 28.823 | 24.653 | 32.041 | 1.413.520 | 1.153.124 | 5.514.187 |4k only? Well, this tim3 is a little different because theres a price drop too. Im pretty sure it will be near 30k.
oh right I forgot that CoD was coming as well. I'm expecting closer to 25k but maybe yeah
Anything over 25k will be a good number considering how consoles are selling in JP right now and that there are over 7mi PS4 there already.
Looks like Sony are cleaning up all their big weaknesses ahead of PS5. Presuming at least PS4 BC at this point.
There was the virtual console. Many Nintendo fans already own classic Mega Man games on the virtual console. There is no need to rebuy them again and again when you already own them on Wii, Wii U and/or 3DS.
Looks like worst debut for the series. Not really worried about long term sales, but still, rather meh.
Off-season release. Other games were released in July or November/December.
Imagine the Level 5 delays were already discussed.
YW4 did look really good, but ran too poorly to come out this year, spring 2019 isn't too bad but that's if it doesn't get delayed again

That was little anything going on around YW4, so low hype wouldn't be too much of a surprise tbh.
People will eat the Super Mario Party Joycon bundle in December. It is excellent value and there is a lot of interest surrounding SMP.
7 million lifetime (could be higher depending on how it performs in other markets and during the month of December).
Worldwide ? 5m before the end of the (fiscal) year, 8m+ depending on the availability of the Joycon bundle, DLC support plan and when the next entry will release.
With L5 reluctant on putting out trailers for YW4, it's not surprising there's little hype

OP
Note, Xenoverse 2 struggled with supply constraints. I remember Bamco sending out tweets that stock was low and their shipment was sold out after like two days. Seems like Bamco learned their lesson with FighterZ.
After all is said and done I suspect FighterZ will follow the same sales trajectory, maybe outsell Xenoverse 2. Although that might be a bit hard, I feel that Xenoverse 2 was a bit more popular than Fighter Z is.
While it's not what you were intending, now I want to play AstroTurbot.
