Media Create Sales: Week 13, 2017 (Mar 27 - Apr 02)

 

[L~A]

Nice hold for the Switch, only down 4k is nice given the slow week. Oh, and 600k since launch, I see.

Nice hold for the Switch, only down 4k is nice given the slow week.

Is it due to a bad week or is it still supply constrained?

 

[Chris1964]

Schools started, as expected only Switch made it.

 

[thestopsign]

Nice hold for the Switch, only down 4k is nice given the slow week.

And it's still virtually out of stock as far as we know right?

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Switch higher than expected.

Again.

 

[Kebiinu]

Switch still holding well. Nice.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Nintendo will have preorders up tomorrow on their site. Other than that online preorders have been non-existent all week.

 

[Thatanas]

Slow week and barely a drop for Switch, demand still strong.

 

[sphinx]

by Q1 next year bomberman could be 80k~100k

that's better than anyone at konami could have expected.

 

[Zedark]

Slow week and barely a drop for Switch, demand still strong.

Yeah, supply is still constrained, so this is the best result they could get this week.

 

[Aostia]

So Zelda is almost at 500K (including digital cards/eshop sales)?
Not bad.

 

[Zedark]

Next week Horizon will most likely reach 200k units sold, great result!

 

[Alrus]

I expected the Switch to drop a bit harder.

Also I'm still kind of in disbelief at how badly the Musou brand has fallen. I mean I expected it to crater years ago and when it didn't I thought it would hold at okay-ish numbers for each entry forever.

 

[sense]

Looks like switch is selling whatever supply is provided. PS4 hasn't dropped much for a slow week. Hope it doesn't go below 20k

Time to bring out that vita successor Sony .

 

[shark sandwich]

Shit week all around.

 

[frankie_baby]

by Q1 next year bomberman could be 80k~100k

Er? Really going out on a limb there arent you?
It should be 80k by the end of the month

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

PS4 has showed it has a low top with big sellers. If FFXV couldn't make it, it won't be easier with DQXI.

FFXV was hurt by fan reception. Its a great game but everything fans wanted. Nothing outstanding.

I would say DQ11 PS4 will outsell it most likely.

Lol you guys are crazy, DQXI PS4 will achieve 1m on OW, come on.

That would have it competing with the 3DS version's numbers. Don't think anyone would expect that considering the install base and sales of previous franchise entries.

Which will sell more on PS4? DQXI or MH5?

FF7R > MH5 >= DQ11 > FFXV > KH3 > Persona 5

 

[FreedomFighter]

BOTW still selling at a nice clip.

 

[darkstar0155]

[Principate]

Oh hey look Zelda is almost at 500k already. I few more weeks and it will be there. Seems like it will very handily beat that benchmark. I remember some people saying that be unlikely and 500k being roughly where it'd end up at.

Wonder if it will beat FFXV at retail after all is said and done.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

BOTW still selling at a nice clip.

Deserves every sale and more.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

It's been holding 4-5K for a while now. It'll hit 100K before CY end.

Vita is dying slowly. We need Minecraft 2, Microsoft.

 

[TangorFopper]

Media Create Sales: Week 14, 2017 (Apr 03 - Apr 09)

13./15. [3DS] Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS <ACT> (Nintendo) {2016.12.01}

It's still there!

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Vita is dying slowly. We need Minecraft 2, Microsoft.

Persona 5 Crimson will save it!

 

[Usobuko]

Really nice hold for Switch.

 

[ggx2ac]

Vita is dying slowly. We need Minecraft 2, Microsoft.

Oh, I didn't even notice. It's definitely reaching the end of its product life cycle.

 

[Kresnik258]

Gah. Vita fading into obscurity much more rapidly than I expected. Shame. Probably won't hit 6m this year.

Nice for Switch though.

 

[lyrick]

Seems like a decent hold for the Switch. Is the 6th week on the market where both the PS4 & Wii U took a dive?

 

[noshten]

My prediction for the 3DS PS4 for 2017 going to be blown away. I wasn't expecting both to be up by such margins YOY compared to 2016.

| System |   2017  |   2016    |  2015  |
+---------+---------+----------+--------+
| 3DS | 458.717  |  444.364  |  682.931  |
| PS4 | 537.301  |  406.569  |  423.057  |

Good to see BOTW still holding up.

 

[Bazry]

Whats Bomberman stock like in Japan? Here in the UK its been sold out at retail pretty much since launch

Eeeeeeeh, seems a bit too optimistic XD

FFXV at retail is way higher. It's pretty much expected for Zelda to dry up its sales pace when other heavy hitters will be on the market.

Deserves every sale and more.

I agree.

 

[Kanann]

FF7R > MH5 >= DQ11 > FFXV > KH3 > Persona 5

Is 7R too high?

 

[random25]

BOTW at ~450k. 2 more weeks for 500k. Hopefully its legs will continue after MK8D launch.

Mario kart will give it a chunky hair cut but I'd imagine it'll still have decent steady sales for most of the rest of the year

I agree.

Zelda is an evergreen launch title for the switch much like many of such titles on the 3DS it won't dry up simply because Mario Kart and Splatoon launch because they serve an entirely different genres and sets of users who likely won't buy the console just for one game. Even a year down the line if your picking up the switch you'll probably end up picking up Zelda too at one point. We'll see in a few years down the line but I think it'll be far more competitive than your expecting.

I think it will desappear from the charts from early May on, but the Switch version will come up again (with low sales, of course) once the Story DLC will be released and detailed (and we'll discover that new dungeon/story content in the narrative of the game)

 

[Eolz]

Good hold for the Switch and top SW, nice.

 

[Raysoul]

I was on Osaka last week and bought a Switch on Don Quijote. Before that day, it was sold out. The day after I bought it, it was sold out again.

Not early May. Maybe early June. It will be selling at least 5-6k for a while, which will put it in the top 20.

slowly? sales are 50%+ down from last year.

It's hard to say what will happen with Mario kart. It will take over as the big seller on the switch but I'm assuming Nintendo will have increased supply around its launch. If HW sales go up we might see Zelda selling more each week even if the attach rate starts dropping.

We are talking a low bar for the top 20 of under 5k, assuming switch sales keep up i cant see zelda having a problem staying over that til late summer at the earliest

 

[Chris1964]

There is no reason for Zelda to disappear from the charts when Switch is the only system that will sell respectable amounts of hardware next nonths until July.

Selling more will be unlikely but could hold up better than i expect but if the stock dies increase then will probably blow away a couple of the predictions above

Yep. MK8D, Arms & Splatoon 2 are all multiplayer focused games. Zelda is the perfect complementary big solo experience.

Now that I think more about it, MK8D may actually boost sales of Zelda for Switch. Having a popular system seller sometimes help other older games on the system get some attention.

Edit: Also, with DLC coming up until the holidays, we'll see BOTW get constant promotion on commercials and Directs.
