Very impressive numbers for COD.
When will we get a titke that will move the Switch ? Do we have to wait for Pokemon Let's Go ?

It is difficult for a GameCube title to increase sales after December 2014 we had the update.

That makes 3 games for the whole year (MH, Kirby and CoD). Release wise this year have been one of the calmest/more unbalanced since a long time (despite games like Pokemon, Smash and DQB2 coming soon).
Next year already has more 200k+ openers announced. (KH3, RER2 (?), YW4, DQXIS, AC, FE, LM, Pokemon...)
I don't think we'll see any significant bumps before then. The question is if we'll see an uptick in the weeks leading up to Pokémon. With the smash and Pokémon bundles both releasing on the 16th I think a lot of people would hold off until then leading to a huge spike.
It will debut at that? About 5 times what the first one debuted at? We got a lot of gun/military otaku here, no so many cowboy otaku.
Certainly not that much. The first game launched at 66k on PS3 and only GTAV managed to launch sligthy above 300k.

I don't see that is possible. If you follow Chris' retailer tips, RDR2 has modest preorders.
You mean third right? MHW and CoD Blops IIII is already first and second.
Suggestion: what do you think about adding the total of both FY at the end of that graph ?
Its just, and a off a no informed/local person, but the numbers is European countries will be massive. RDR was always on of most anticipated games in the last years and the first new game from Rockstar this generation, if COD can put this numbers a stay on my 300K bet. But you are more informed than I, so I can be betting on the wrong horse.
Yes Third, i misread the post I replied.
As others pointed before, October is one of the slowest month for sales (between holiday period).
I'll help them out and take a copy off their hands once it drops down to around ¥2000.
I wonder how did MM11 end up overshipping when Mega Man hasn't been big in japan since the GBA days (maybe longer?)
OP
OP
I'm assuming both the Switch and PS4 versions were overshipped and have already landed in the bomba discount bins at stores.
It will surely be a big release and will open at a higher number than the first one, that's for sure. That said the enthusiasm seen in western countries doesn't seem to be comparable to what we're seeing with japanese preorders.
Assuming it has a good word of mouth, it should be able to reach 300k LTD, but I don't see it opening at significantly more than 120-150k.
I'm not sure whether to laugh or to cry.
Also over shipped hard.
How do you do these graphs ? It shouldn't be harder than just adding a column at the end of the spreadsheet with the calculated total.

What was the best selling Spider-Man before Spider-Man PS4? Not saying they're comparable but you can see big growth from game to game.
Judging by the preorders I'd say it's more likely the game only sees modest growth.
I was definitely wrong about Spidey, which is looking to do about twice what I thought it would do. Anything could happen, but I'm doubting a big boom in interest in cowboys in the next few weeks. I think it will see some growth as well, but 300k opening is a bit beyond what I am able to imagine.

How about the arachnophiliac otaku ;)
Seriously, though, the retailer reports from Chris are a more solid foundation for not predicting 300k or more first week than anything else imo.
Kokatu: In Japan, Rockstar Is All In For Red Dead Redemption 2
Dont know when it started but this last week can generate some hype.
And the article has a lot more the adds in many locals.
I guess the difference is that Spider-Man was fairly popular in Japan already that just hadn't translated to games yet. I agree that despite the increased marketing push I can't see a bump anywhere near that size for RDR2.
If Red Dead online hits big like GTA Online RDR2 could have pretty great legs though even if it doesn't have that massive first week.
The PS4 did create a western AAA otaku fanbase which seems to get all big releases tho. But yeah, I don't think it will be as big as people think here.
If Rockstar focus the publicity on the Fishing from RDR maybe they will have more return that from the Western thing. All JRPGs have fishing, so it could be a good idea. :D
Starting to believe we'll have two Pokémon games in the Top 20 when Let's Go comes out. Would be the first time ever since the original games, I believe? Not counting spin-offs, obviously.
I can do that, however the result is this
I'm using Excel btw.
Yeah it doesn't seem more useful. Sorry I thought it was a good suggestion but I don't really know myself how to make it work.
When Pokemon Gold/Silver launched Pokemon Red/Green/Blue made it to the top 20 (at 15th).
Pro price cut was just about bringing the price point difference between Slim and Pro to similar level to the west (so 10k yen, $100, 100€ difference between the two models in all regions). Pro was overpriced compared to Slim before this in Japan (15k yen difference). As there have been no indications for general global Pro price cut or Slim price cut I don't think it was in the cards.
Week 42 and 45, 2006 had both Diamond/Pearl and Emerald charting (though the latter was below 20).
