Media Create Sales: Week 43, 2019 (Oct 21 - Oct 27)

 

[Lite_Agent]

Bit disappointed by LM3 FW, but not worried for the game in the long run. Great Switch boost thanks to the Pokémon Lite model.

Now Mario & Sonic, definitely wasn't expecting that low an opening.

 

[ILikeFeet]

DAT SWITCH

 

[hiska-kun]

Nice for Persona, just ok for Luigi's and Ring Fit holding despite being out of stock.

 

[Deleted member 873]

Ring Fit Adventure is a beast

 

[Aleh]

Great hardware sales.

 

[plusaflag]

That's the week the Shield and Sword Lite Switches came out, right?

 

[Lelouch0612]

Pokemon Switch Lite doing great !

Good start for P5R and okay for Luigi, CoD had a good drop too.

RingFit still impressive.

 

[Dust]

What the fuck at that Switch HW.
Was there some promotion?

 

[Kandinsky]

Honestly I expected even lower than that for P5R, RFA is a monster.

Full price re-release bullshit.....

 

[z0m3le]

PS4 hardware bump is definitely being effected by PS5 announcement.

 

[Zedark]

03./02. [NSW] Ring Fit Adventure <HOB> (Nintendo) {2019.10.18} (¥7.980) - 51.143 / 183.685 (-20%)

Beast. There were even stock issues!

Switch lite is responsible for this week's boost, good number I'd say. LM3 did alright, well short of LM2's 300k debut, but vouchers should put it closer, at least to 200k I'd think. Legs will now determine if it can eventually outsell LM2 or not.

P5R is very good for an enhanced rerelease, nice number there.

 

[sfortunato]

Despite the Pokémon bundle, OG Switch is stable. Holidays will be huge and this can be seen by October sales.

Luigi's Mansion did a bit below expectations FW but digital and legs should make up for it. I'd say a million is still in the cards.

RingFit is amazing.

 

[Dust]

Pokemon Lite model

Click to shrink...

Oh, that makes sense.

 

[dean_rcg]

Can't wait to see how much some of these games sell in December.

 

[z0m3le]

Switch hybrid model still not being effected by lite, I'm really surprised that lite seems to be finding it's own market.

 

[Lite_Agent]

What did the previous Luigi Mansion games do?

Click to shrink...

2 did 300k FW, slightly over 1m LTD. Think it definitely can match (and even surpass LTD sales), but we'll see. Next update from Nintendo will be telling as for LTD potential for this game.

GC one opened at 116k, and went to 350k LTD.

 

[cw_sasuke]

RFA not skipping leg day.

 

[Comic Obsessed]

Ring Fit Adventure and DQXIS continue to show great legs.

Not sure about LM3's debut, coupons might have helped it though. P5R did okay I guess.

Great hardware sales for Switch, wasn't expecting that.

 

[werezompire]

Week 1 Media Create:
PS4: Persona 5 - 264,793
PS4: Persona 5 Royal - 201,448
Vita: Persona 4 Golden - 137k
PSP: Persona 3 Portable - 108k
PSP: Persona 1 - 95k
PS3: Persona 5 - 72,794
PSP: Persona 2 IS - 62k
PSP: Persona 2 EP - 24k

For an expanded rerelease, that's pretty good, I'd say.

EDIT: Added first week Japanese sales of the various other portable Persona enhanced rereleases (P1-4).

 

[Lelouch0612]

Switch should be very close to 3m before even Pokemon week. Almost up 1m YoY, it is impressive.

 

[fiendcode]

How are DQXIS legs compared to DQXI?

 

[Spork4000]

Neat, switch should hit 3 million YTD pretty soon.

Nobody cares for Lite

 

[Jarod McChicken]

That Persona fanbase is something else.

 

[Lelouch0612]

Minecraft should cross 1m in two weeks !

 

[Zedark]

Ring Fit is very close to tripling its first week sales after three weeks, it's insane! Third week sales are 75% of first week sales, and they are hindered by stock to some degree. Next week probably shows a bigger drop due to waxing stock issues, but it might just pass 200k by then. The holidays should be insane for this title as well: it's really showing the legs of a beast, and if stock is there, then we could see 100k+ weeks, even.

 

[holeung]

Nice to see that hold of the original switch model

 

[unicornKnight]

Good job RFA, expected better from Luigi. Eager to see how will Lite hold up in the next weeks and after Pokemon release.

 

[IamFlying]

Persona has a very loyal fanbase for sure.

LM3 is probably a FE situation. Many voucher sales.

 

[Chris1964]

This week confirms that PS4 will have dire numbers in Japan until it's discontinued.

 

[schuelma]

Ring Fit holiday sales could be something, assuming its stocked (100k plus weeks?)

 

[Aleh]

It's even up YoY all by itself which is pretty nice

Digital and coupons probably hurts the physical sales, but yeah, LM2 did amazing.

 

[Oregano]

So Switch Lite increased massively but notably Switch OG is still at 55k.

 

[Kerotan]

Persona 5R over 200k retail only and takes top spot! Fantastic.

The special Pokémon lite edition having a good effect too.

So Switch Lite increased massively but notably Switch OG is still at 55k.

There was a special Pokémon handheld model released. I don't know if the hybrid model got it also but probably not.

This week confirms that PS4 will have dire numbers in Japan until it's discontinued.

Even then, the next hardware moving release is in March. If they discount it for the Holidays, Jan-Feb will be even lower.

They need a permanent price cut but with the PS5 around the corner, they might not want to.

So Switch Lite increased massively but notably Switch OG is still at 55k.

Lite had new model. Anyway even "real" Switch sales are very good on its own.

Ring Fit is absolutely nuts. I really hope Nintendo can get the stock situation sorted out for the holiday season because it'll be fascinating to watch if it's well stocked.

 

[IamPeacock]

Was there a game bundled with the Lite model?
I find it strange that we see 100K HW but none of the evergreens got an increase and Luigi Mansiom is average.

Yes, that's what I meant. Even with the special Pokemon Edition it didn't really shift sales from one to the other.

PS5 will be likely very expensive. Sony probably don't want to make the price gap between PS4 and PS5 extremely high. Perhaps they even want to continue PS4 for a few years as low entry model until PS5 prices comes down.

Looks like Mario & Sonic has the worst opening after Sochi 2014 on Wii U. Definitely a low debut, legs will be key for this one.

How are DQXIS legs compared to DQXI?

Click to shrink...

DQXI S:
2nd week: -81%
3rd week: -56%
4th week: -38%
5th week: -30%
6th week: -23%

1st week divided by 6th week = 35.46

DQXI PS4:
2nd week: -82%
3rd week: -57%
4th week: -15%
5th week: -64%
6th week: -27%

1st week divided by 6th week = 59.26

DQXI 3DS:
2nd week: -77%
3rd week: -55%
4th week: -20%
5th week: -67%
6th week: -1%

1st week divided by 6th week = 36.86

Lower is better for the division of 1st by 6th week. DQXI is legging negligibly better than the 3DS sku, and noticeably better than the PS4 sku in terms of relative sales.
