Media Create Sales: Week 49, 2018 (Dec 03 - Dec 09)
- Thread starter Chris1964
- Start date
Someone needs to make that Reaper-Meme were the PS4 is next.
B/W are some of the highest sales in the franchise on one of the cheapest platforms for the series. Again, for the price of the Switch plus the game, these sales are pretty damn great.
I don't know why this is surprising, like at all... It's a Zelda game in Japan; what's surprising is that BotW continues to sell at all.
[UPDATE] Don't be shy :)

Given the current pace, the digital sales will need to be 25% of current numbers to hit a million. Is that plausible? Especially given the fiction of Famitsu digital estimate...Especially for Nintendo platforms.

Nobody cares for Famitsu digital estimates when Nintendo provides shipments every quarter. It will be over 800k at December.
Probably. MK8D will sell forever with new systems. BOTW is probably a strong 2nd/3rd choice for hardware buyers that came on board with Smash now and AC next year. SMO I think would "suffer" the most from crowding as the 1st Party titles stack up next year. Q
WW I think MK8D is headed for massive numbers. They shipped 2.9M last year in Q3 alongside 7.2M HW. This year with 10-12M shipped and the bundle, how much below 40% can its attach rate dip? I think its looking in the vicinity of 4M shipped this quarter and then a strong Q4 followup (last year it slipped 35%) and its at 18-19M by end of FY18, and showing no signs of stopping. Right now I think its headed towards the 25-30M range (so MK8 + 8D = MKWii levels).
I think Smash is headed to evergreen status and >25M as well, but we'll have a better idea of legs next quarter (same for LGPE as well). BOTW and Odyssey will creep their way up to 20M in the end.
Never said that they are not impressive. Just that they are still miles away from peak Pokemon figures like you suggested in your original post.

That be some mighty Smash Sales that for sure. It's going to be tight to see if it can surpass the Monster Hunter World sales for the year. But I imagine the really big holiday sales will push it over for it.
Week 51 approaches.

Hm not really. You have to look at the complete picture to put things in perspective.
Last year the PS4 didn't get a price cut like this year, but it did get three relatively big releases that influenced it's sales:
-Monster Hunter World Limited Edition PS4 Pro
-Yakuza Kiwami 2
-Earth Defence Force 5
Surprised Nintendo hasn't published PR for smash sales yet. Not sure what they're waiting for or if they'll just hold out till their investors meeting
Ah yes, that was quite the bump. Too bad western games aren't being reconsidered for purchase during these holiday seasons, seems japanese games will just eat up close to anything with Nintendo on it. They should maybe consider releasing a complete edition of BLOPSIIII next year, it could spark something up.

Weekly retailer hints vol.1
Holiday season has begun, next week will have bigger sales for evergreen titles.
God Eater 3 and Judgment don't generate a lot of excitement around them, they could end 3rd and 4th behind Smash and Pokemon.
PlayStation Classic hype is almost dead.

PlayStation Classic hype is almost dead.
PS4 at 7.4M, PC Engine at 8Million, PS3 at 10.4M (all likely over the next 12 months) and then Wii at 12.75M (mid 2020?)
So Smash should be well past Tekken when Nintendo announces their next quarterly report then and will never look back.
Not bad for a series with far fewer entries than most fighting games
That would seem to portend another rise for Pokemon (unless GE3 and Judgment are going to bomb bigger than anyone thinks)
Damn. I thought Smash would have surpassed it. I wonder what would have been Smash 4's numbers were it not for the fact that it appeared on a dead system, not counting the 3DS of course.
That and Tekken had a shitton more games. The fact Smash ranks so high despite the small number of games is a testament to its popularity

Pokemon will sell somewhere between 100 and 150k next week. 150k looks to be the upper limit for God Eater 3. Judgment will open lower.
PS4 cant catch a break on Media Create threads.
It's like, it bothers some people or something when it gets a sales bump in Japan.
Genuinely happy for the Smash sales. It's the one Nintendo game I kept buying with each iteration everytime I got a Nintendo console.
I hope tradition continues next year when library is fleshed out and I gets me a Switch

Nah they're not gonna wait until January 30th, it will likely come Thursday like the Pokemon PR did.
Give me a break. Zelda isn't traditionally a juggernaut but no Smash has ever sold more than a million opening week in Japan and BOTW has had insane legs.
So yes, I'm gonna go with "surprising" that Smash outsold a very popular Zelda game nearly two years old in a matter of days.
That's exactly why I would like to see the data from previous weeks, as it would be easy to characterize an increase in the discrepancy between 2018 and 17 after the release of NSO.
In the meantime, I'm entitled to have an opinion on that matter, especially since I was among the first to point that decline in Splatoon's sales.
Also, there's nothing "scientific" about sales data of any kind. I can tell from being a researcher myself, and from seeing quite a few non-scientific topics in my time.
