PS Vita is now being outsold by PS4 Pro in Japan.
It should limp to 6 million but that's going to be a huge ass drop from PSP sales.

Thanks for the data guys. If Splatoon can do this I think it would be an even bigger achievement as it has to sell more units off the bat. Next week will be exciting for sure.

Good sales for what is the most unpopular mainline entry in the series post FF4 (yes even FFXIII is more popular. It didn't outsell FFXII but I think has a bigger fanbase than XII could garner)
Hahaha

Decent performance for FF12, but an embarrassing one for Ever Oasis. Not that I entirely can fault the public for it. I entirely forgot it was releasing that week.
I fear that this'll depend on how long the PS4's life span is. It's not impossible though. The PS3 had a few things working against it, like missing out on Dragon Quest and Monster Hunter. It also had several of its biggest titles either be cross-gen (Phantom Pain, Persona 5, etc), or miss the PS3 entirely (FF15, Last Guardian, etc). Home consoles are in a weird place in Japan though. The hard- and software sales aren't negligible, but for large chunks of the year, there's very little can make a dent in the charts.

I don't think it'll reach 6m anymore.
What significant release is there after DQXI and before Kingdom Hearts 3 ? Since Yakuza is seemingly not getting a new game this year, I fail to see what could keep the PS4 afloat this fall.

Also I think FFX HD opened to only like 15K on the Ps4 so with that in mind FFXII numbers look even more impressive

Well I do think it can, especially after the Holidays. But we will see.
Ehh.. this is a flawed comparison considering FFX HD received a release on PS3/PSV years before releasing again on the PS4. The original remaster was one of the best selling remaster with more than half million copies sold across PS3/PSV so there wasn't much to entice new buys for PS4.
Good luck with that

Agreed but 15K was way lower than I expected FFX HD to do at the time. Guess they did really oversaturate it.

Oh yeah I don't know why I forgot this one. Early 2018, right ? Still missing something major for this fall.

Switch vs 3DS
Great sales for Switch, but Nintendo needs to move on and kill the 3DS now.

Knack 2 is gonna save PS4's holiday season.
There's GT Sport and Everybody's Golf plus a few Western titles and smaller Japanese exclusives that could do well. No heavy hitters by any means, but enough to keep the PS4 afloat until MHW releases.
Third parties sure would have liked to see bigger numbers weeks ago. I bet they're hoping splatoon doesn't suck all of the air out of the room for too long.
Hm I'm not too confident in GT Sports chances to succeed, feel like it should have released a year ago.

Melee was insane, Splatoon 2 could repeat those legendary sales, it depends on how many he will be available in the following weeks
they're gunning for that GBA LTD

How does Hey Pikmin sales look compared to other games in the series? I cant find the sales for Pikmin 2

They learned their lesson: You can't just give away premium games like Knack. Hell, they should be charging extra for the privilege.

Poor Ever Oasis...
I hope DQXI does really well. I don't know why as release approaches I have this uncomfortable feeling that it'll underperform. At least it's boosting PS4 sales.

Was hoping Zodiac Age would do better, it might be the best remaster ive ever played.

Is it too crazy to say that if Pikmin 4 releases for Switch it'll be the best selling one?

Interesting that NPC Pikmin 2 sold more than NPC Pikmin despite the original Pikmin 2 selling less than the original Pikmin. Wonder what's up with that.
Idk. I think with 3DS in the picture it really won't. 3DS can still push Pokemon to 3+ million. It has a healthy enough install base for mass market titles.
If it were PS4 only...yes, I'd think it'd be a feat to reach 2 million when DQ tends to sell between 2.5 and 4 million.
I think DQs got this. ~1 million PS4 and ~2 million 3DS is already successful. I think it can beat that, on both counts.
The original did sell more in Japan than it did in the West. Just goes to show you that a very impressive remaster still can't see more than 200k in the Japanese console market

MK8 Deluxe is nearly at 600k though.
Came to post this. Thank you!
Not at all. It should have a decent shot. BTW, it's not if but when as I believe it was reconfirmed recently.
OG 2DS sold 18 754 units during its launch week last year, so N2DSXL is indeed off to a good start.
That being said, that was in mid-September for the 2DS, so a direct comparison isn't really all that fair... especially since it released alongside some Nintendo Selects, while the N2DSXL had Hey! Pikmin (+ Ever Oasis), and more importantly DQXI just around the corner.
