[Santiako]

300k for Fire Emblem. That's pretty good, right?

 

[casiopao]

The Power of Waifu reigns.^_^

 

[crinale]

How is Chaos Child's performance compared to XB1 version?

 

[Chezzymann]

Them splatoon legs, also nice opening for fire emblem

 

[Nibel]

That's quite a difference between both versions, whew.

Splatoon still top 10.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Darn, I was hoping for version-exclusive sales so I would make a joke on which side is best

26/06/15 [3DS] Fire Emblem Fates: Black Kingdom / White Kingdom - 353.201 / NEW

 

[kswiston]

300k for Fire Emblem. That's pretty good, right?

That's close to or above the LTD sales of most games in the series.

EDIT: Beaten

 

[phanphare]

just keep splattin' on

 

[LordJim]

300k for Fire Emblem. That's pretty good, right?

Better first week sales than any FE?
Yeah, pretty good

 

[Vylash]

fire emblem is here to stay, hell yes

 

[massoluk]

PS Vita is truly Persona 4 Player.

 

[Pennywise83]

FE if is at 350k for Famitsu. Thai is a quite sizeable increase wrt Awakening.

Splatoon and RH The Best+ are performing so well. Popolocrois not so much eventually.

 

[hiska-kun]

Limited Version is counted as two copies for Famitsu, and one copy for Media Create:

42.991x2 is = 85.982
+260.675
= 346.657

For Media Create

Congratz to fire emblem and splatoon.

Darn, I was hoping for version-exclusive sales so I would make a joke on which side is best

#teamnohr

Doggy plz there's no need for that. Hoshido is obviously superior.

 

[Aostia]

good opening for FE, but I'm waiting for Famitsu numbers to see the digital cards amount sold. Good also for Persona Dancing. Decent bump for 3DS and very good one for Vita. PS4 to me confirms a very interesting potential, compared to the Wii U, that anyway still hold decently thanks to a very solid hold by Splatoon, pretty impressive. As it is Rhythm Tengoku, with a small decrease.

EDIT: 350k for Famitsu? Are you sure that the difference is for the Limited edition counted x2 in famitsu and not for the digital cards, usually counted in Famitsu and not in MC? Btw, 300/350k depending on the cards/edition is very solid and a very good increase compared to Awakaning (that was already a solid exploit for the series)

 

[Santiako]

That's close to or above the LTD sales of most games in the series.

EDIT: Beaten

Better first week sales than any FE?
Yeah, pretty good

Damn. I see that the public has spoken. And they want waifus.

 

[Phazon]

That's quite a difference between both versions, whew.

Splatoon still top 10.

That's the special edition (which contains both on 1 cardridge)

The one on #1 is either the black or white edition ^^

 

[Tizoc]

Is 100k ok for a persona spin off?

 

[random25]

Almost 350k total for FE: If. Nice!

And Splatoon still livin' high!

 

[Shinriji]

Persona DAN sales are better than I expected.

 

[mrmickfran]

Is 100k ok for a persona spin off?

On the Vita? Definitely.

 

[Cosmonaut X]

Great hold for Splatoon, and good opening for FE - will be interesting to see if it's going to see the same huge first week then rapid drop-off as some other core titles, or whether it can leg it out to a 500-600k+ LTD.

 

[Jamix012]

HeavenSward numbers look bad. Do we have a comparable release?

 

[Mpl90]

...When FFXIV on Wii U, then?

 

[kswiston]

On the Vita? Definitely.

It's also in a genre that has nothing to do with the base games.

Persona 5 is going to crash through that 500k barrier.

 

[Exile20]

Splatoon man. So well deserved.

 

[Magicpaint]

P4DAN Vita did better than I expected, not far off PDF2nd. Though it seems like of all the spinoffs PQ is the one that really overachieved (~186k FW) - All the others seem to hover around 90-120k FW.

Fire Emblem If has done really well. It's such a turnaround for the franchise, and it just seems to be better suited to handhelds now.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

How is Chaos Child's performance compared to XB1 version?

It sold less than 1,500 copies on Xbox One during its opening week.

[duckroll]

Can Fire Emblem If outsell Mystery of the Emblem?!

 

[Exile20]

HeavenSward numbers look bad. Do we have a comparable release?

I don't follow FF but what is this version? re-release? sequel, what?

 

[KillerMan91]

PS4 still way higher than last year. I guess the software barrage of first quarter really did uplift the baseline. Of course this week there was a new release but 38k release shouldn't push hw that much. Great opening for FE too and Splatoon still going strong.

 

[Chezzymann]

What do y'all think splatoons LTD will be? 450k?

 

[sense]

...When FFXIV on Wii U, then?

When wii u is successful worldwide which is never

Oh. Well 5pb guy (president) was hoping fanbase to become 5 times greater. Obviously it went above his expectation lol.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

P4AN is allign to my prediction here. It really probably going to be lower selling Spin-off for P4.

Nope.

 

[kswiston]

Can Fire Emblem If outsell Mystery of the Emblem?!

I guess it depends on how Famitsu counts downloads of the second version.

 

[Pennywise83]

What do y'all think splatoons LTD will be? 450k?

At this point, 500k is a lock.

 

[KooopaKid]

37.458 new players for Splatoon.

Nice! Welcome aboard!

 

[KillerMan91]

When wii u is successful worldwide which is never

Not to mention they are ditching PS3 after this expansion too so bringing the game to other tech restricted platforms wouldn't make much sense.

 

[djplaeskool]

I don't follow FF but what is this version? re-release? sequel, what?

First major expansion of FFXIV:ARR
Majority of players are on PC, but the PS4 version of the game is extremely well done.

 

[sörine]

Why did Heavensward tank?

 

[Mpl90]

Oh. Well 5pb guy (president) was hoping fanbase to become 5 times greater. Obviously it went above his expectation lol.

Yeah, way above indeed.

P4D did better than what I was expecting, after all. YEAH, BABY.

 

[duckroll]

I guess it depends on how Famitsu counts downloads of the second version.

Famitsu doesn't track DLC.

 

[crinale]

Is 100k ok for a persona spin off?

It sure did better than Dragon Quest spin off on 3DS

 

[Aostia]

any Splatoon VS MK8/Smash U comparison?
I know, MK8 is on another planet in terms of LTD, but I wonder if Smash could be somehow reachable. Nothing seems able to stop this Splatfest...

 

[Azusa]

HeavenSward numbers look bad. Do we have a comparable release?

Probably most sales were digital.

 

[higgsboson1997]

What do y'all think splatoons LTD will be? 450k?

With the drops it's receiving, 500k is a lock for sure. Will probably do a lot moer than that, especially if they bundle it this holiday.

 

[djplaeskool]

Why did Heavensward tank?

There's not a lot of incentive to go physical unless you wanted the CE.
Probably mostly digital purchases.
