2 weeks tecnically.
...What do you expect for the week of bundle release? (Splatoon sales)
Theoretically, the Pokémon fanbase is well established on 3DS, whereas the Final Fantasy base hasn't had a compelling reason to move to PS4 yet. If it's even close, that says bad things about FF's strength in the market.
They must have gone into this expecting it to do around the same as their last few releases (which didn't do too hot), which is why they're having stock issues due to underestimating it.
An 100% increase.
In other words 4-5k x2
And better average from then.
Theoretically the FF fanbase has quite an overlap with the general Sony fanbase. So I don't see this year's PS4 vs 3DS war as a FFXV vs Pokemon thing. There are some other major releases on both platforms this year.

So 8-10k, and then something like 6-7k avg in weekly sales.
Seem about right, if Mario Maker sells 4-5k with the bundle Splatoon Will do easy more than that.

04./00. [WIU] Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games <SPT> (Nintendo) {2016.06.23} (¥5.700) - 18.276 / NEW
3DS clinging on to that YTD top spot for dear life. It'll lose it for sure the week that FFXV releases though. It'll be interesting to see how things play out when all's said and done. FFXV vs. Pokemon to decide the battle. Exciting.
I think it's obvious Minecraft Wii U's digital performance is being kept hidden. It has to be because it's always #1 on the Wii U eShop yet we see updates for Splatoon and such.
But why? Is Microsoft "ashamed" that a Wii U game they're actually publishing is selling so much more than ANY of their XBO games and is surely now their most successful game in Japan of all time (surely passing Blue Dragon which was at just over 200k IIRC)?
That's the only reason I can think of. Any thoughts?
It's obvious you see updates for Splatoon digital because combined retail+digital enters top 30.

Nintendo opened pre-orders for Wii U Splatoon Set Bundle on Amazon.jp, and the price is already at 70,000¥ lol

Why are you assuming FF 7R is next year we've seen nothing about that game DQ11 also isn't exclusive to PS4 being confirmed for both NX abd 3DS though in an entirely different form.I would assume dq11 and ff7 remake would be bigger releases at this point in Japan so next year would likely be the best year for ps4. There is also resident evil 7 early next year
The PS4 version of DQ11 can be "big" in its own right regardless of other versions.Why are you assuming FF 7R is next year we've seen nothing about that game DQ11 also isn't exclusive to PS4 being confirmed for both NX abd 3DS though in an entirely different form.

PREDICTION LEAGUE JULY 2016
Predict how much these titles will sell in the month (from Jul 04 to Jul 31):
[3DS] Yo-Kai Watch 3: Sushi / Tempura (16 days) - 1.111.111
[PSV] Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA (11 days) - 122.222
[3DS] Puzzle & Dragons X: God Chapter / Dragon Chapter (4 days) - 155.555
[PSV] Toukiden 2 (4 days) - 122.222
[PS4] Toukiden 2 (4 days) - 33.333
I know DQ is on 3ds and nx but I think the ps4 version will still do better than FFXV on ps4 in Japan. Ff7 remake is episodic so I think the first episode will be out next year coinciding with its 20th anniversary but who knows. Also I wouldn't say we have seen "nothing" bcoz they showed something at psx which looked like gameplay running in unreal engine which could help in game coming out quickerWhy are you assuming FF 7R is next year we've seen nothing about that game DQ11 also isn't exclusive to PS4 being confirmed for both NX abd 3DS though in an entirely different form.
Its pretty stupid that they have such a solid title yet didnt make a stronger push with it. As it should be obvious by the ones who created the game that the title has a lot of work put into it. Having it myself can also attest for that fact.
At least the net seems to be enjoying it so hopefully it will continue to sell well as they keep pushing out more units.
