PS4 has hit an okay baseline the past few weeks. It's managing to truck along during a period of the year when big releases are typically scarce. September onward should be fun.
why buy a new ps4 copy when there's cheapo 2nd hand ps3 copy of the same game? not to mention some ppl still cannot letitgo.gif with alisha-rose thingy w
actually Tales of Zestiria being 13th place is quite awesome, they had the game for a year, and now it is being released for Ps4 without the anime chapter, like the first print ps3 edition.
Let's not act as if that was the only problem the game had. It expected more from the rerelease, but I guess nothing was really added to it unlike other rereleases.

In 2ch, there are groups of people now starting to take legal measures against Namco on this issue.
In 2ch there are movements asking for more people to contact the Consumers Affairs Agency (operated by the Government of Japan) regarding the misleading advertisements created by Namco.
There are many sources online that Namco conducted a misleading advertising regarding Alisha and her position in game.
1. Although Baba commented after the selling of the game that the "heroine" is decided by the players, there are many goods and magazines that commented Alisha being the "heroine".
2. After the selling of the game Namco had issued these goods and magazine companies to "delete" the heroine description out. Some companies did, and some are still available.
3. Baba's interview before the selling of the game that Sorey and Alisha is a "fixed" party character.
I think the more interesting fact about ToZ PS4 sales is yet another confirmation of the complete overlapping of PS3 and PS4 owners in Japan. The percentage of PS4 owners that didn't own a PS3 must be tiny. It is an understandable but still worrisome statistic.

LOL. I guess they should feel blessed they got 5k out of it?
Looking at Xbone overall sales...is that thing ever going to hit 100k?

Most of the people already bought the game last year and in Christmas season, not to mention the game had a price discount last year, those who bought it this time might be getting prepared to buy Berseria in August.
When scorpio comes out
I blame the horrible boxart for the horrible sales. I mean, look at this.
Let's not spin 5k sales into an awesome thing even if it's a late port with no promotion whatsoever and no incentive to double dip.
This SKU was always going to be irrelevant no matter how much it sold, but 5k is clearly on the low side of the expectations even if the budget price may (?) help selling a bit more in the long term.

My comment was because I was expecting less, considering the game was already released on PS3, a year ago, and the huge amount of hate it generated, however I believe the ps3 game sold well in release date, not so sure about it.
PS3 Tales of Xillia 512,544
PS3 Tales of Xillia 2 331,533
PS3 Tales of Zestiria 316,824
For people asking Wii U bump:
It sold worse than Xillia 2 which itself sold much worse than the first Xillia.
What a weird chart. It's looks bad but has good news for consoles... I guess "for consoles" is pretty big qualifier in Japan now. But are handhelds heading for a better place? I guess Japan is a weird market in general right now.
Holy shit lol.Yah in 8 years or so, as long as it keeps selling!
oh well, still, apparently did pretty good with steam sales and everything
Edit: had no idea Zestiria sold more than Graces F, being it released previously in the wii could have been a factor
Also, apparently did pretty good through steam, not too bad, Berseria is looking better so that's good

Home consoles are similar to how they were 5 years ago, it's handhelds that have seen the major drop. Though obviously these new consoles are only a few years old unlike in 2011.

I still think Graces Wii could've done huge numbers had it not suffered like the worst launch possible;
1. It was horrendously broken, so badly that all copies had to be recalled and fans were given free replacements by mail I think?
2. Released one week prior to FF13.
Despite that it managed to sell over 200k on Wii.
Yeah I'm pretty sure that market all hinges on whatever Nintendo has planned for their 3DS successor. But is there any chance handhelds see an increase? It's hard to see that right now.
It sold worse than Xillia 2 which itself sold much worse than the first Xillia.
I don't think that's correct, it's sold 340,000 copies in its first week.
Famitsu first week comparison:
Xillia: 512,544
Destiny 2: 498,142
Rebirth: 372,767
Abyss: 368,316
Xillia 2: 331,533
Zestiria: 316,824
Vesperia (PS3): 227,506
Graces f: 219,921
Graces (Wii): 143,309
Vesperia (360): 101,272
Another downgrade on the 3DS software side with Culdcept... Yokai Watch 3 next? :|
Wii U will survive PS4's pushing at least until FF XV releases. But seeing these bundle numbers is very diffcult to imagine that Nintendo is only shipping 800.000 Wii U until March 2017... maybe this bundle will also be supply constrained in a month?
I would be really surprised if Yokai Watch 3 wasn't a decline from Yokai Watch 2.
