Media Create Sales: Week 11, 2016 (Mar 14 - Mar 20)

Hey, Chris, I think there are minor mistakes in the LTD of some consoles (XOne and Vita seem to be fine). Occurred at week 10.

Week 9 LTD:
Wii U: 3.105.437
PS4: 2.563.588
PS3: 10.404.587
3DS: 20.492.745

Week 10 sales:
Wii U: 4.629
PS4: 27.341
PS3: 1.375
3DS: 26.545

Week 10 LTD's were listed as these, but they seem to be off by a few units. Correct ones are bolded.
Wii U: 3.110.067 (3.105.437 + 4.629 = 3.110.066)
PS4: 2.590.932 (2.563.588 + 27.341 = 2.590.929)
PS3: 10.405.948 (10.404.587 + 1.375 = 10.405.962)
3DS: 20.519.293 (20.492.745 + 26.545 = 20.519.290)


The sales of week 11 are added correctly again, but to the wrong LTD's of week 10. Or am I missing something really obvious here? :)

01./00. [WIU] Pokken Tournament # <FTG> (Pokemon Co.) {2016.03.18} (¥7.200) - 69.675 / NEW
 
SFV bad numbers doesn't make Pokken numbers good.

Those SFV numbers are only bad for SFV, considering that other fighting games only manage to do:

06./00. [PS3] Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax <FTG> (Sega) {2014.11.13} (¥7.538) - 34.671 / NEW
09./00. [PSV] Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax <FTG> (Sega) {2014.11.13} (¥6.663) - 25.607 / NEW
 
It's like fighting for scraps.

In Japan, maybe yeah. Though we don't know yet how it performed the rest of the week (only first 3 days) we'll see next week.

I'm more curious how it does overseas anyway but still interesting to see. I actually expected SFV to sell more really because well, it's street fighter.
 
With the stock problems the comparison just became unfair. With a proper supply of the Mario Maker Bundle, sales would've been better so far.

Strong upcoming weeks for MK8 due to holiday season.
 
Oh I forgot DBFC. Thx.

It's the only one worth mentioning the other releases are like depressingly small. Considering even if the new Blazblue home release was just an re-ballanced game repacked with DLC.

08./00. [PS3] Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late <FTG> (Arc System Works) {2014.07.24} (¥6.264) - 9.171 / NEW

16./00. [PS3] Blade Arcus from Shining EX # <FTG> (Sega) {2015.11.26} (¥7.549) - 8.083 / NEW

22./00. [PS4] Nitro+ Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel # <FTG> (Marvelous) {2015.12.10} (¥7.549)
40./00. [PS4] Koihime Enbu # <FTG> (Yeti) {2016.01.28} (¥6.800)
 
Who would of thought a Persona fighting game would open higher than Street Fighter and a Pokemon fighting game.

What are we expecting for Tekken 7?

01./00. [WIU] Pokken Tournament # <FTG> (Pokemon Co.) {2016.03.18} (¥7.200) - 69.675 / NEW

So really, seems like a decent debut all things considered.

I wondering why the hell GG XRD is so low then i totally forgot it's a cross generation title and only one version is there.

05./00. [PS3] BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma Extend <FTG> (Arc System Works) {2015.04.23} (¥6.264) - 15.550 / NEW
09./00. [PS4] BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma Extend <FTG> (Arc System Works) {2015.04.23} (¥6.264) - 7.589 / NEW

Chrono Phantasma Extend was on par with the previous updated rereleases, Chrono Phantasma itself sold pretty good.

03./00. [PS3] BlazBlue: Chronophantasma # <FTG> (Arc System Works) {2013.10.24} (¥7.140) - 72.464 / NEW <86,36%>

When Central Fiction releases on PS4 (still TBA but should be in the coming months likely) we will see how smoot the PS3->PS4 transition will be for the franchise, it should be down from CP but still higher than >50k imo.

I wondering why the hell GG XRD is so low then i totally forgot g it's a cross generation title and only one version is there.

It wouldn't change much even when adding PS4 sales (14k)

CF will be released on PS3 too, and probably most people will buy it for PS3, not sure if CF will be the title to judge any kind of transition.

Turning the clock back, despite a PS3 version existing:

[360] Street Fighter IV: 36,455 / NEW
 
Well, it seems like Next Order didn't do that bad... I still wish Cyber Sleuth would have done better when it released, though.
 
Bloodborne didn't do nearly as well as Dark Souls 2.

Bloodborne builded the fanbase for DS3. Sales for BD are ~270k if Famitsu's estimates are accurate. And these figures don't included the free download code that was given in summer with PS4 (Total users must be over 350k).
 
CF will be released on PS3 too, and probably most people will buy it for PS3, not sure if CF will be the title to judge any kind of transition.

Oh yes somehow I forgot there was still a PS3 SKU (and a late extended rerelease in 2017 for PSV as usual)

For a new fighting game series debuting on an underperforming console, I think that's a decent start.

Yeah, that's why it's hard to predict, Bloodborne may have reached a new audience with that pack-in in addition to the old Souls fanbase that upgraded to PS4 between the launches of Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3.

I think it will do >400k LTD.

The PS4 YTD and Last YTD are astonishing. What a turn around!

For comparison

That speaks more to the power of Pokemon than to its viability vs. SFV as a fighting game.
