Media Create Sales: Week 20, 2016 (May 16 - May 22)

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice (25 days) - 345,000
[3DS] Taiko no Tatsujin: Don Don! Mystery Adventure (18 days) - 180,000
[3DS] Story of Seasons: Cherished Friends of Three Towns (11 days) - 160,000
[PS4] Super Robot Taisen OG: The Moon Dwellers (4 days) - 65,000
[PS3] Super Robot Taisen OG: The Moon Dwellers (4 days) - 40,000

I don't know if it's more ridiculous a system which becomes more expensive bundle after bundle or a bundle with a game released 12 months ago, showing how poor has been the Wii U line-up in the last year...

You mean it shows how poor is japanese market now?^~^
 
Final Fantasy Type-0, The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC, Akatsuki no Goei Trinity, Little Busters... not sure if there are any others.


Oh, I wasn't aware of the VNs. Last one I know of is Shin Sangoku Musou 6 Special.
 
The beast is incoming.

Yeah, and you know is coming because it doesn't enter the chart in first place, but keep getting pre-orders steadily. The new evergreen title just alongside with Splatoon.

I feel that AA6 is about to destroy the charts.

Pre-orders look very good, no?

Yes, they are. Not only on Rakuten. In Niigata-chan the game is tracking ahead of AA5.

This will NEVER cease to amaze me. O_o

It's kinda weird. I just checked if I was wrong at the time of writing the chart and, on the Rakuten web says Nihon Maikurosofuto. I couldn't believe it at all!
 
The price, though, is shameful. Very, very risky of Nintendo to take the route of selling a minuscule amount of systems at a high profit when they're in such a dangerous situation and their next system is make-or-break. Personally, I think it's the wrong move. They should have worried about mindshare and not short-term profit.

I have a suspicion they aren't even profiting on these prices, haha.
 
Are we expecting a big drop for Heroes 2 compared to the first game?

01./00. [PS3] Dragon Quest Heroes <RPG> (Square Enix) {2015.02.26} (¥7.344) - 325.446 / NEW <92,25%>

YSO predictions

01. [PS4] Dragon Quest Heroes II: Futago no Ou to Yogen no Owari < 160k (average 135k)
02. [PSV] Dragon Quest Heroes II: Futago no Ou to Yogen no Owari < 120k (average 100k)
03. [PS3] Dragon Quest Heroes II: Futago no Ou to Yogen no Owari < 70k (average 55k)
00. [PS4+PSV+PS3] Dragon Quest Heroes II: Futago no Ou to Yogen no Owari < 350k (average 290k)
00. [PS4] Overwatch < 50k (average 45k)
 
Btw, the Vita version of DQ Heroes II may probably give us a good surprise. It seems it sold above expectations, and could do similar numbers to the PS4 version.

This is funny in a sad way considering how hard Sony tried to pretend it didn't exist.

After three years I thought the IP was dead, it did seem to have okay sales in Western market too (60k according to Steamspy, don't know if Xseed was happy with the PS3/4/V SKU).

That's a <100k game anyway and the install base is already there on both platforms so boring title which will end up somewhere between 60-80k LTD.
 
So, with all the commercials and partnerships that's happening for Pazudora X I guess it's safe to say the game won't be delayed.

The game is coming out less than two weeks after Yokai Watch 3, so it'll be interesting to see how it performs.

Average was fairly on point if the blog is accurate. The high end were overshot everywhere.

Ahh alright then, so those are probably fairly on point. Average only over-shot the PS3, but spot-on with the PS4/Vita releases values.

Feel like it depends how much of a spinoff it is compared to the main series, but still, will be interesting to see if there's much life left in the IP.
 
Leaks are out

I don't get the last one, the others I think:

- Dora
- Gon
- Kue
- Suto
- Heroes 2
- Total
- 374k
- ?? (I think I can see a 120)

Who in Japan doesn't already have Minecraft in Japan?!? I would never have guessed that coming this late it would be as successful as it is on Wii U...

Nintendo really should have managed to get this the sooner possible :/

Sure Mojang would have been ok if Nintendo suggested help and Nintendo related DLC from the start.
 
374.000 units for Dragon Quest Heroes II is a sizeable drop but softer than we expected.

The 120 could be the Vita version, since in the hint there's the Kanji of &#32654; that it's read as BI (Bi = Vita?). So maybe 120k for this version.
 
My predictions for DQH2 were only for 3 days worth of sales (rather than the first week) and still too optimistic, but not insanely far off.
