Poor Grezzo. I hope they get another chance at a new IP and don't become a remake machine. I'm really enjoying my time with Ever Oasis.

 

[Aostia]

How could this guy fall down with a single kick like that.

have you ever seen a UFC/MMA real match?
those hits...hit very hard.

Famitsu is out

https://www.famitsu.com/biz/ranking/

 

[Skullwaker]

Not at all. It should have a decent shot. BTW, it's not if but when as I believe it was reconfirmed recently.

It was reconfirmed that Pikmin 4 is still in development, but they haven't said for what platform.

But I mean, there's only one option really.

 

[darkstar0155]

Chuck in a 50k "guesstimate" for digital and and I'm sure it'll make it this year with christmas sales

Plus the inevitable bump next week when they SHOULD have much higher hardware sales. If they get hardware sales up to 100K ish (ha!) That will probably give it a 20K+ week. Maybe more, maybe less, who knows.

 

[Mpl90]

Hey! Pikmin's debut is indeed surprising: it did far more than what I expected. Baaad debut for Ever Oasis instead

 

[ethomaz]

PS4 king beat one more milestone... 5m confirmed next week one week before PS3.

Now with the holidays coming it will probably continue ahead and 6m milestone is on bag.

 

[Toth]

MK8 Deluxe is nearly at 600k though.

Ah true. Nintendo seems exempt from this haha

Out of curiosity, what did you post?

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

Looks like Fanitusu didn't track Amazon like MC.

 

[Kanann]

Splatoon 2 follow by DQXI, my heart can't endure those coming number.

 

[Sangetsu-II]

Hm I'm not too confident in GT Sports chances to succeed, feel like it should have released a year ago.

It's the first GT game on PS4 it's bound to sell PS4's no matter what for racing pros who haven't jump in due to that fact.

 

[DKHF]

Sad to see Ever Oasis bomb. FFXII TZA did a little better than I expected (not much but a little).

Definitely looking forward to the next 2 weeks of sales numbers (Splatoon 2 then DQXI).

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

How likely is PS4 going to beat PS3 LTD?

Any other 3rd party heavyweights in future?

This depends on when the PS5 will come out. PS3 also had some good legs:

2009: 1.7 million
2010: 1.5 million
2011: 1.5 million
2012: 1.2 million

DQ11, FFVR, MHW and KH3. Pretty much every major Japanese third party IP released on PS4. If PS4 increases YoY (1.8 million+) that would be amazing.

 

[Fularu]

Bomberman R may end up the best selling entry in the whole franchise

This is prety impressive

 

[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]

I hope this is the last week this year Switch is <40k, these stock problems are stupid.

Over 100k next thread is obligatory

 

[RoboGeorgeForeman]

Hopefully Konami will reivive some of their other neglected IPs now that Bomberman has seen some success.

 

[Celine]

No, Bomberman was a big seller in the '90s.

 

[boiled goose]

Great sales for Switch, but Nintendo needs to move on and kill the 3DS now.

They can't make enough switch.
So they still want to sell 3ds.

 

[Oemenia]

This depends on when the PS5 will come out. PS3 also had some good legs:

2009: 1.7 million
2010: 1.5 million

2012: 1.2 million

DQ11, FFVR, MHW and KH3. Pretty much every major Japanese third party IP released on PS4. If PS4 increases YoY (1.8 million+) that would be amazing.

Damn so PS4 has already beaten PS3's best year.

Honestly, I see no reason why Sony will call it quits early.

ARMS at #7

Got dem legs.

 

[The Emperor]

Famitsu is out

https://www.famitsu.com/biz/ranking/

FFXV's legs have been so good!

Would be poetic if it reaches 1 million for DQXI launch week

 

[Mario007]

Got dem legs.

They're not especially good?

 

[jonno394]

Poor Grezzo. I hope they get another chance at a new IP and don't become a remake machine. I'm really enjoying my time with Ever Oasis.

I can forsee the game itself getting a second chance on Switch at some point. It seems like something many would like, just on the v wrong device right now.

We are still waiting for underperformers that get second chances on Switch.

Especially for outsourced low budget games that exist only because Nintendo wants to find some extra income things will be even worst.

 

[Jon Carter]

Maybe I was being too pessimistic, but I wasn't expecting Hey! Pikmin to sell that much. I thought it was too late in the 3DS' life, but actually I don't know if it would have sold much more than that if it had been released three or four years ago. Let's see the legs now.

 

[foxuzamaki]

FFXV's legs have been so good!

I thought XV's legs were awful?

 

[Calm Mind]

They're basically nubs at this point.

 

[KillerMan91]

Retailers still trying to get rid of the first week shipment. It has been in bargain bin for months which has led to these small legs.

 

[Memento]

5 million LTD next week for PS4

 

[Osukaa]

It's the only console that runs Project Beast (Bloodborne), so it's inherently a beast. This is logic you cannot deny.

No Lies detected.

 

[LordKano]

I thought XV's legs were awful?

They've been terrible.

 

[Earthpainting]

No, Bomberman was a big seller in the '90s.

I don't think I've ever seen sales numbers of the old games. Do we have some anywhere? My usual sources don't go back far enough. There's been so many games in this franchise, so they couldn't possibly have done poorly. On the other hand though, these games can't be too expensive to make either, making it easier to stay profitable.

Out of curiosity, what did you post?

Edit: already posted

 

[PshycoNinja]

They've been terrible.

Better than any other recent FF.

 

[Chris1964]

So Media Create tracked that Amazon.jp Bomberman bundles for Switch.

Apparently shipments vary a lot week after week at retailers. Since there isn't a steady pattern whatever every tracker estimates depends on the amount of stock their sample gets and leads to big differences at reported numbers. This week Amazon got extra shipments from Nintendo. Media Create could count it, Famitsu could not.

 

[Xbro]

Can't say with 100% certainty, but I'm pretty confident it was probably this.

No, it was the Famitsu Ranking

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Oof, those ever oasis sales.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

They're not especially good?

Better legs than other fighting games in Japan right now basically.

 

[LordKano]

Better than any other recent FF.

That's still not a good look.

 

[PshycoNinja]

That's still not a good look.

Charting and selling eight months after release is "not a good look"?

 

[Vinnk]

Yup, saw it brand new for 4000yen last week. That is less than half the retail price. Used copies go for even cheaper.

So yeah, not so great. Or was that post sarcasm? I can't even tell anymore.

 

[Chris1964]

Price has dived at lower levels at big cities since long time ago and it's still not close selling the initial shipment.

 

[LordKano]

Not being able to sell your launch shipments eight months after launch is the definition of not having good legs. Count that double when you're Final Fantasy.

 

[Skullwaker]

What was the initial shipment?

 

[perfectchaos007]

PS4 is a beast.

It must be. There have been supposed lines of thousands of people waiting for Switch's, yet the PS4 continues to outsell the Switch for like 5 weeks in a row. It must be a beast.

 

[test_account]

I dont think theres been lines with thousands of people waiting for Switch, but rather thousands of people participating in the lottery.

 

[Toth]

It's the same situation as Nier and people keep praising its legs. So yes it's a good look.

 

[DecoReturns]

It's the same situation as Nier and people keep praising its legs. So yes it's a good look.

Isn't Nier selling at full price tho?

 

[Jawbreaker]

It must be. There have been supposed lines of thousands of people waiting for Switch's, yet the PS4 continues to outsell the Switch for like 5 weeks in a row. It must be a beast.

At least you're willing to accept the truth that, indeed, the PS4 is a beast. The Switch is fighting a losing battle against an evergrowing kaiju.
