Media Create Sales: Week 52, 2018 (Dec 24 - Dec 30)
- Thread starter sfortunato
- Start date
Is there any explanation as to why DQB2 sold better on PS4 out of the gate but the Switch one had better legs?
Could it be the result of the two weeks is those two numbers added but the split is wrong? Maybe Japan cares about the Three Kings' Day?

Very generally speaking, PS4 audience is more predisposed to get games immediately.
both I would assume.
they'll get posted as they come, but a new thread will be created.
a new thread is needed for archiving purposes.
Makes sense, thanks. I just wanted to know what to be on the lookout for.
That week one jump is so much higher than expected
I don't have time to find dengeki from last year so I'll just use mc for comparison:
NSW week 1 2018: 146.006
NSW week 1 2019: 247.914
More than 100k higher.. second highest yoy gain for switch in a single week????

Those Dengeki numbers...wow. Didn't expect that much for week 1.
And Switch's software is pulling insane numbers. Smash becoming the best selling game of 2018 in under a month, SMP is doing insanely well, MK8DX at 2m, Mario Odyssey at 1.9m, etc. The system already has six 1m sellers and three 2m sellers in under two years. 2019 will be an even better year in terms of software for it with AC and Gen 8 especially, as well as more substantial third party titles (YW4, IE, DQXIS, etc.)

How are these Week 1 numbers real?! I know some happy boys and girls got their New Year's cash but I didn't expect this.
no? resources are limited, square never works on three platforms at the same time
Probably. UE4 needed to be updated for DQXI on switch so they're probably better suited to handling it, but they'll take awhile. Hopefully not postponed till next gen, tho
I don't really believe that to be honest. it might have really just been a limited resources issue. remember that Octopath Traveler was one of the first UE4 games announced for the switch
Maybe, but DQ was literally the first game announced for NX, so S-E is not telling us all.
Is this info correct? So Switch had a 10% bigger percentage increase in sales last year?
From the quoted numbers, Switch's week 52 in 2018 was larger than 2018's week 1. So the 2019 Week 1 is 25% increase of an already much bigger number than Week 1 2018, so comparatively it's roughly a 79% increase over 2017's Week 52. 248/138
I don't think anyone would turn those numbers down.
