If the ps4 version of DQ11 opens higher than the 3ds one it'll be one of the biggest crow ever served to Neogaf!
That would be amazing and I want to see it happen.Splatoon 2 1100k
Switch 45k
That would be amazing.
Would that be the biggest "collapse" ever?Not for Splatoon's second week, lol

I'm pretty sure we have had some 90-92% collapses, but those last few percent have to be hard earned. I remember that JoJo All Stars game on PS3 had a ridiculous crash and so did Crisis Core. I'm sure there are some niche RPGs and VNs that have crashed in that range too.
I hope this is sarcasm, cuz in no way 300k people in japan cancel their Splatoon order for just that issue lol.
The bolded is incorrect, though. Nirolak referred to the entire set of 90 games, and that's what I responded to: only one small piece of his overall argument.If you have no reason to expect a bias to confront and no reason to take the conversation as comparing similar sets between consoles (which you don't--it is entirely about how well-rated Japanese, new, PS4 retail games sell in the west), I really don't understand why this is even a thing.
I do agree that "great games" is a pliable category. I assumed that the context of the post, where the set of games-scoring-85-or-higher-on-Metacritic was mentioned repeatedly, was sufficient to show the parameters in force. Basically, my use of "great games" was solely an attempt to enliven the prose by avoiding even more repetition. I do apologize that it muddied the waters so much for you.No; you are using loaded terminology which is why I questioned your methodology and your conclusion.
I never made that exact statement, but it's kind of irrelevant. That you don't care to determine whether things are true or not means this discussion has no future. Thanks for taking the time to speak with me. Have a good one!"At this point in its lifespan the PS4 has more 85+ metacritic titles playable than other platforms have had" - thats fine (if true, I don't care enough to check, I suspect it to not be true though).

I expect that the gap won't be too far off for the 3DS and PS4 version of DQXI.
If it does, I predict a Media Create thread with 1000-1500 replies talking what's happening to the 3DS and the dreamy possibility of a Switch version selling much more than the two or something.

Really? What was the reason for that one? I thought it was pretty well received.
This would be a 95%+ drop.
I mean at least in JoJo's case it was well-deserved. The Japanese pricing for DLC characters remains absurd to this day (600 yen per single character), and the only way to unlock costumes or colours for the characters was to play an RNG-riddled online mode with mobile-esque stamina/energy meter and mictotransactions where all you fought were CPU, and they could be beaten easily by mashing grab.
The JoJo that was there was alright, but it's clear they learned their lesson for Eyes of Heaven. It's no masterpiece but they toned a lot of the more heinous parts down and added quite a bit.
So no numbers huh. man....
sounds like something the losing team would say bruh
I misspoke, I mean Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus on PS2 and looking back it had an 85% drop.
I realize. I was trying to think of the previous worst.
JoJo seems to have gone from ~390k FW to 30k in its 2nd week.
when you preorder a game you have one week to claim it
Anyway COMG DQ11 ranking:
PS4 - 735
3DS - 637
Splatoon 2 had 800 something iirc, 1000 on opening week
Amazon:
1- DQ11 PS4
2- DQ11 3DS
3- Splatoon 2

Why is Dragon Quest XI selling better for the PS4? We've had two, maybe three million-selling Dragon Quest titles for the 3DS, why is the first numbered sequel on the platform selling worse than remakes and spin-offs on the platform?

How many Switches have been sold in Japan?

Before next Wednesday 1.1 Million .
Person goes to find stats not to compare them to stats of other consoles (which is what you are on about), they use a word which seems to suggest the sample is small. Why assume that is small relative to the size of other consoles' pools of 85+ metacritic score games?The bolded is incorrect, though. Nirolak referred to the entire set of 90 games, and that's what I responded to: only one small piece of his overall argument.
I think the PS3 is the key comparison here because the first year of the Xbox 360 was a split generation with the vastly-in-second-place system's successor coming out first.I know that you intended to focus on this comparison, and as I've previously said I mentioned nothing germane to this larger point. What I was responding to was your statement that there were "only 90" games with 85+ Metacritic scores. That isn't a subset, but the whole release slate. Nevertheless, the qualifier "only" seems to indicate a belief that 90 is smaller than expected. As I showed, it's much larger than expected.
That was in a wide context, but now let me go ahead and tailor it for the exact comparison you were making. If we check Metacritic only for console retail titles--not DLC or indies--and we also remove all remasters/remakes, how does the comparison stand? For the first 45 months of its life, Xbox 360 then has 46 titles rated 85+. The PS4 has 40.
So in fact, even in the comparison you propose, there's nothing very unusual or surprisingly low about PS4's amount of high-rated games. The restriction means it's no longer far and away the biggest list, or indeed first at all. But it's still in the top three, not far behind second place*. So your characterization really isn't justified even under the strict interpretation of your comparison.
*With these parameters, PS3 is now the high outlier, with 63 titles.
I (or quite a few Japanese colleagues as well) was thinking that Nintendo was holding stock for Splatoon2 release. However by anecdotal evidence difficulty of finding Switch available thru last weekend didn't get any better, or actually it got worse.

The game was published by Nintendo, so this is rather interesting.
Not the first time something like this happened. Nintendo also published Rayman Legends in Japan as a Wii U exclusive and then Ubisoft published the Vita version the following year.Ōkami;244409743 said:Shovel Knight is coming to PS4 and Vita this thursday, just announced out of the blue.
