That's what one of the users in the comment believe, and sounds definitely reasonable (at least the DQMJ3 number). Definitely a bit on the low side, but legs should be good.
No idea. It's really weird. I don't think it's them reacting to bad sales (it started on Monday morning, I doubt you could arrange that sort of stuff in a couple of days.
Maybe they saw the positive reception following demo, and realised they could afford to spare some money for proper advertising?
No surprise for DQMJ3, it's the 3rd DQM game on 3DS, and the... what, 6th, 7th Dragon Quest game on 3DS? Since this one doesn't have any New 3DS optimisations at all, no reason to upgrade either (not even a bundle or anything).
Really curious about Yo-kai Sangokushi. This one will be interesting.
Also, LEGO Star Wars 7 announced for Japan, usual platforms.

I'm still surprised those get localised, especially all the versions.

Makes 360k for DQMJ3 believable then. Drop is worse than I expected, but if legs are there (if...), should be ok in the long run.
By the way, for EU Gaffers: 3PM CEST / 2PM BST for new numbers from now on (DST).

Unless the game has really bad word to mouth, i dont think this will have any negative effect. Its there to make more people aware and interested in the game, and it being out now means that people can buy it right now.

It wasn´t necessarily the launch sales, since we as did SQEX have seen lower preorders compared to the remakes weeks ago with no major improvement leading to the releasedate, to get an idea how it could perform. Also it´s actually the first completely new DQM game, so I would argue that it might have had even more potential with a different approach, compared to the sales potential the remakes had, the previous games actually helped built the audience and I doubt there is any fatigue since the last DQM remake launched years ago.
By this logic, why do any expensive promotion at all? Maybe we should tell SQEX that they can safe alot of money when it comes to marketing FF15
This year is very interesting for the genre on 3DS, considering MHS, Pkmn and YW3 will follow later this year. The latter two will assuredly take a more pro-active role in marketing and I expect both to sell great on 3DS, mainly due to this, despite having several entries and spin-offs of these IPs already on 3DS. MHS is interesting since it´s pretty much a wild card.
Why does Koei even bother.
