Which is why it is the best day to check if the Switch is still out of stock (as in "grabbed as soon as a new shipment comes in") in a certain area.

Media Create Sales: Week 46, 2017 (Nov 13 - Nov 19)

First post on ResetEra; been on Gaf since 2011, and never missed a week of Media Create. It saved me from my mind-numbing campus desk job. When I graduated Uni and moved to Tokyo, it was doubly fun checking the mood of my local shops versus the mood on here. I'm immensely happy that we've all found a new home here, and though I've mostly just lurked the last few years, I wanted to say I'm pumped for this New Era (TM) and couldn't be more appreciative of all the work that salesage peeps put in. Thanks Chris, thanks mods, thanks everyone for making ResetEra happen.
Now, sorry, on topic: I'm really curious to see how the new Atelier splits between it's three skus. What are people's guesses? This admittedly tiny GEO snapshot seems to show NSW, PS4, then Vita. I don't have much trouble believing that, though I don't think it would surprise me to see PS4 being the number one sku either. It getting a PC release will make this even more interesting, if any sort of Steam user-data witchcraft can be pulled off (though, how are PC games generally distributed in Japan? Is there a dominant digital platform? Is it Steam?) Perhaps then that would only be interesting for comparing western sales across skus.

Hi VXLbeast :)
For GEO pre-orders ranking:
~ 1.200 stores

read again, i never implied you're dumb, i was talking about everyone in general due to your logic
Silpheed (and Oregano!), good to see basically all of salesage gaf has moved over. :)
Somehow my brain didn't manage to process that part, thanks for pointing it out.
Thanks for the report Vinnk!
Hey again!
For Atelier, it'll likely be similar to NoA2, but now that the switch userbase is bigger and more varied, there'll probably more switch sales, especially since the footage looked nice. But PS4 will still lead the sales by a good margin I believe. PC has no impact in japan for those games though.

Just fo fun guys, your predictions for Switch hardware this week? We have 3h30 :)
50k?80k?100k?150k? More? :)
50k?80k?100k?150k? More? :)
140K
I think it would be the second biggest week of the year for the Switch with each week from now until holiday culmination being bigger than the last.
I'll be more cautious and go with 115k. Software will be interesting too, Zelda will have a great bump thanks to the Explorer Edition.
anything less than 200k will be disappointing
edit: nvm i thought it was first week of december, probably 150k at most

I'm going to guess 110k. Thankyou silpheed For always doing these, you're a really valued member of this community!!!
Is anything noteworthy releasing on PS4 this week ? If not :
Switch : 115k
PS4 : 33k
3DS : 30k
Switch : 115k
PS4 : 33k
3DS : 30k
Nor the PS4, to the best of my knowledge there were no special sales for it and no new games of note.
I think Switch is 110k, they are starting out slow.
Pokemon may do wonders, or may not, haha. Perhaps 40K is more realistic, but I ignore who seriously does Japan take Black Friday .
New Everybody's Golf is included for free now in every PS4 (From November 23rd until January 8th).
So, PS4 should rise this week. How big will be the effect is still unknown.
Not very seriously yet. This is pretty much our first year of having Black Friday. In the past few years some foreign companies would offer sales such as Amazon or Apple, particularly foreign online retailers. But this is the first year I can remember Japanese companies getting in on the festivities.
Edit: After checking the wikipedia entry, Nojima and Aeon did their first Black Friday sales in 2016.

I think it will get some movement out of that, but I don't think a free download code of game that people haven't shown much interest in is going to cause much urgency.
Magazine and cardboard recycling I should hope...
We already know the types of titles From is working on and it ain't Metroid.
Tales of won't be mainline, unless its releasing later next year. Hope we get a new mainline though.
Thats not a chart showing success. Tesla is worth 20 billion and brings multi billion revenue but has very little cash in hand as most of it is invested back in the company.
PS4 > PSV > SW
Is it a good guess to expect Splatoon 2 Over 30k?
Also for Alteir it'll probably be my guess like
40k PS4
25k Vita
15k Switch
Unless I'm too high
