Is this reliable? I can't believe Mario 3d world didn't pass a MIL. Also wasn't Nintendo land bundled in?
Switch software sales are amazing considering those hardware numbers. If you are a 3rd Party you probably wanna make sure to be part of the Switches Holiday Lineup next year.
No?
Not if SE wants to keep their numbers up. DQ shrinking in sales is not something they want to happen.
3D World didn't even get close to a million. I don't know what the most recent LTD is, but last time I saw numbers it was at something like 650k.
This is objectively wrong.
It has some kind of legs. Otherwise it would have stopped charting on its third week and it wouldn't have had an increase either.
Holiday season is not an excuse cause many games have been released in Nov/Dec only to be buried few weeks after (Atelier being the most recent example).
I thought it should hit 800k already? I mean, a full 2017 should be easy for 3D World to sale 60k copies there.
Chris is very obviously sarcastic and mocking some doubters who will probably still keep on saying that the game is a failure (with some new metrics to prove it)
Well at least it passed 5 MIL worldwide and is 3rd most sold after Mario Kart and Bros so I'm happy :)
60k for a Wii U game in a year where the Switch has released.
The Wii U barely sold over 20k this year.
It's not, that's actually the beginning of 2017 now. Famitsu changed how they track things.
he was just mocking that CGiRanger guy's quote last week lol,the dude that was saying the game had no legs and wom and used fan doujins as an example I think
Word of the wise, Sammy. Chris' no legs comment is not genuine and is sarcasm, Lady's comment is incredibly not genuine and is a farce.
when a game that was released in april being in the first place in the end year chart and no one bat an eye
Makes me happy for the Switch, but sad for the Wii U. I remember back in 2013 when I still had hope it might bounce back. Good times. It deserved better.
Right? Some people love to shit on Yokai Watch for no reason. None of their faves are selling 400k, let alone with a spin off.
Snack World is beating everyone's expectations and it's doing pretty well for a late 3DS game too.
They gon be shook when Yokai Watch continues to be a powerhouse franchise on Switch, displaying graphics and gameplay evolution in a way that others will never.
Well because of the smaller than expected Switch hardware supply software wasn't able to pass 2M during December with next week it should pass 2M:

Theoritically it's a game that was originally released in May 2014.

When was the last time you heard someone sing a King Creamsoda song at karaoke? For me it was over 2 years ago. The franchise has fallen greatly.
Oh it definitely deserved better. Up to this day I have more games for WiiU than PS4 and Xbox One, combined.
The amount of Switch games charting is really surprising and bodes really well for future support and software sales. I don't think even 3DS had so many games charting in December 2011. And the curious thing is that these are different games from different publishers and different genres, and many of them are not even really worthwhile being late ports.
Really small drop. These sales are not really typical for a jRPG. 200k with eShop sales are a lock.
I know Yo-kai Watch didn't have an anime at that time, but in Week 52 it was around 280k units and it had a similar sales pattern with respect to The Snack World. Then, it exploded in 2014.
It seems it didn't drop much with respect other software. Good to see selling consistently.
Wii u imo was one of the systems with the best games, better games than wii/GC/DS/GBA in my opinion. But while the (first party) software deserved fantastic sales, the hardware itself didn't at all.
It's certainly past its peak (but so is Monster Hunter, Pokemon and Dragon Quest?) but it has found a place for itself and it's still pretty succesful.
Its sales have been consistent since Yokai Watch 3 so I don't think it's still losing popularity.
Pokemon USUM - 58K(-66%)
YWB2 - 32K(-78%)
Next week I think USUM drops below 25K, YWB2 drops below 15K.
MK8D - 89K(-28%)
Splatoon 2 - 80K(-40%)
SMO - 78K(-58%)
Zelda:BotW - 28K(-23%)
While I think majority of Switch titles see a big boost bigger than the 25% increase I thought they might have. Since the drops on majority of titles was much smaller than I anticipated outside of SMO which was probably propped up due to the bundles. Seems SMO bundles are more difficult to come by, and it's possible it's the easiest game to find second hand currently.
If Switch continues to sell >80K after Week 1, I can see the baseline of the top 3 holding above 30K p/w.
3DS had exactly 4 titles charting throughout December - MK7, SM3DL, MH3G and Inazuma Eleven.
Idk about the comparisons with Pokemon/MH/DQ, whose recent mainline games have sold upwards of 3 million consistently. There's a difference between 'past its peak' and 'in a decline' if that makes sense. Yo Kai has stagnated a bit now but for a while there it was steeply declining.
However, It's undeniable that ywb2 has outperformed all expectations, and even though compared to previous entries it's sales are low, most of our faves could indeed never.
I mean even when it was a may game,that's still............ quite a feat
