Media Create Sales: Week 47, 2019 (Nov 18 - Nov 24)
- Thread starter Chris1964

You sound obsessed but it's definitely not about comics
Yeah, I guess if it's a Fall 2020 launch, and after the 2020 holidays it drops to "regular" sales (past launch/holiday bump), it could be another 2 years after that before it sees a decent price drop and has enough of a library behind/ahead of it to become a hugely desirable console for all.
I also think third parties will jump to the PS5 very fast, and possibly push the little Switch support they've given it back on to the back burner as well, so that'll add up eventually too, when big release after big release skips the Switch entirely. But like you say it's all so far down the road, who knows what'll happen.
What was interesting was thinking about what Sony will do to reinvigorate the interest in their brand.
Good hold for Pokémon. While we need more data points, this and the UK second week data show a trend of better legs than previous titles managed to have. This bodes well for a 15-16M shipment by the end of Q3 and 20M+ LTD.
In the year corresponding to PS4's 2019 for PS3 (2012), the PS3 sold 1,327,185 units. PS4 should do a decent bit below that this year. Furthermore, 2013 for PS3 was 849.590, which I think will be very difficult for PS4 to do in 2020 considering the PS5 launches next year, in contrast to the PS4 launching in 2014, giving PS3 a bit more space to live on. It's definitely possible that PS4 ends up behind PS3, although I'm not sure yet.
schuelma you're right, I just wanted to give a quick response, and Namco is conspicuous due to their size. Capcom would be the worst supporter by far, but yeah, let's not discuss Capcom lol
I expect a ton of cross gen games. Persona V still released on PS3. I can see a lot of Japanese devs aiming solid 60fps 4K on PS5. 1080p 30fps PS4. 720p dynamic on Switch
well, I always think that sales will drop after a good week.
Nintendo saw that BF now starts the friday before BF, so they decided to Start Holiday season a few weeks earlier too.
Is making predictions that wont happen not kinda his thing ?
MHW IB didnt fix PS4s atrocious baseline, so FF7R wont do much better.
PS5 being a decent PC wont help it in the Japanese market imo.
It has 14 months of having the market to itself, then we can see if PS5 can maintain the sales PS4 had.
Actual competition would need something that can wrest substantial marketshare from Switch, and i dont think anything besides Vita 2 could do so, and i dont think Vita will ever return.
Sony seems pretty content to stagnate in Japan while their overseas business does good.
Thanks.
Bamco gets singled out because they are both the biggest third party in Japan, and in general release the most games out of the major players.
I think now that the Switch and PS5 announcement have happened there is a very good chance the PS4 will sell less than the PS3.
I can see a bump for FFVII remake but not a massive one. I think a lot of the die hard FF fans picked up a PS4 already for games like FFXV or FFXIV. And those who are more casual and are curious about the FFVII remake for the sake of nostalgia can get a used PS4 for under 17000yen.
Why is there a post spoiling a boss battle for Ring Fit Adventure in this topic? I didn't come in here to see spoilers.
Bamco's support has been shit vs their total output. And it is almost always late too. They deserve to be dragged. As does every other company bar maybe Koei.
We can see all the stuff that skips the Switch for no reason. Every holiday the Switch is a barren wasteland for third party releases. Japanese third parties suck on Switch.
Bamco has had successes like Fishing Spirits and Taiko but still way too much content missing.
The longer they take the less likly it is to happen.
PS4 recent performance are awful. It is worse than a natural decline. They were selling 20k+ at the same time last year, now there are in the 5k-10k range.
I just... don't understand why hardware is flat? What could have caused that? Crazy impressive.
Past two weeks and holiday seasons in a nutshell:
Next week Sony should announce their holiday offer, let's see how aggressive they get this time around.

Ok. I agree they should be criticized for ignoring Switch with their high profile, core-oriented releases. But I continue to believe some of the disconnect is this board not being personal fans of the games Namco is releasing on Switch and seeing success with. Namco has 4 Switch exclusives this year that will sell 100K plus. The problem is no one in this thread is personally interested in them so they don't resonate.
I didn't see your post. The gif one. I'm still playing it.
I mean everyone who's interested in buying the ps4.
PS4 is still 270k ahead and should increase the lead over the next few months!

, When you see posts for not high Switch sales and unrealistic expectations, next thread always backfires.
Oh I don't think every game will be 120fps by any means, but with HDTVs having 4k be common place now at the $100-200 price point, I think the recent thread in the gaming forum about the best HDTV on the market right now being the LG C9 OLED is pretty telling, with one of the biggest draws (after picture quality) being the fact it can do 4k 144hz VRR (variable refresh rate) – which i think HDTVs will start adopting as a standard feature next. So I do think the next round of consoles will also support free sync of some sort, and it'll be a bigger deal in the games.
You won't have to have games at locked framerates because with free sync you don't notice the fluctuation like you do normally, so the number of games supporting above 60fps I think will definitely grow and grow.
Thanks. Very similar drop, but damn, X/Y was beasting, a million more in its second week.
Huuum you expect an avg of +350K for the next 5 weeks? So like, at least a +400K week maybe closer to 500K?
Media Create threads are single handedly boosting Switch sales
With digital included, the two should be on par (we know that Sw/Sh sold 2m first week with digital included).
What are the chances that Switch HW is 100k next week ?
Andri- 4.882.041
Just one switch more than what 3ds sold in 2013.
We know FW Digital was over 650k, while digital on 3ds was basically a rounding error.

It's Switch flagship and Switch Lite combined. I think December will be very big. I expect one 500k+ week and at least two more 300k+ weeks across those devices.
Bamco is the biggest third party who releases the most games in Japan. The fact that they have some success on the Switch with some titles like Fishing Spirits (what else did they even release? Story of Seasons, Dragon Ball Heroes and what else) doesn't shield them from a glaring lack of presense on the Switch compared to other systems.
I don't get this whole "well you don't care about these games so you're blind to it" thing you push. Is there or is there not significant content skipping the Switch it really shouldn't miss? And are Bamco not one of the biggest offenders of the late port?
Gotcha, I put mine in a spoiler tag just in case. Sorry you got spoiled.
Seems like the Lite might legitimately be hitting a new audience?
Our power is limitless

Sword and Shield is likely doing similar, based on the first week physical and digital sales and the physical drop.
Why is that? The lead has been declining for weeks. Other than FFVII is there something that you expect to give the PS4 a big boost? The PS3 at this point in it's life cycle still had a somewhat solid year of sales in front of it (8000,000+) I don't think the PS4, at this point, has the 2 million sales it will need to beat the PS3 left in it.
Yeah, Lite is especially attractive for children and women.
