20./19. [3DS] Mario Kart 7 <RCE> (Nintendo) {2011.12.01} (¥4.571) – 3.353 / 2.802.588

wow

either only a few games sold last week, or it still has legs..

 

[NintendosBooger]

Good hold for PS4.

Explain to me how it's a good hold when it went down on a holiday week?

 

[L~A]

Funny, it's a holiday week yet all the consoles except Switch sold less than the previous week (of course the release of Dragon Quest XI rose PS4 and 3DS sales previously).

That's what I noticed, too. I guess the DQXI launch siphoned quite a few sales. Both consoles are up YoY this week, so it's that yeah.

 

[MoonFrog]

Wish DQXI 3DS was a bit higher but I don't know if that's me being unreasonable.

Still hoping for 2 million + in the end, the more the better.

PS4 version is doing well, but I'll be happy with that performance if it gets close to 1.5 on either side. Pretty sure it is going to do that and maybe a bit more.

 

[horuhe]

Great results for Switch

 

[LordOcidax]

We don't have any numbers of Minecraft Switch? I have the feeling that is selling really really well.

 

[Chris1964]

I didn't search extensivelly but there aren't solid hints for Switch level stock the week of Obon. Bic Camera lotteries will show how high they'll be.

 

[Abylim]

Switch is no slouch!

Impressive

 

[schuelma]

It was at 73K after June (digital only)

 

[ynwzh]

1.242.260 DQXI PS4? I think no DQ Switch version was more benefits to PS4 than 3DS

Obon is next week tracking lol

August 15.

 

[KtSlime]

Good sales this week, look forward to next weeks sales.

So?

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

Arms moves up from 10 to 9.

No legs indeed. Kotaku knew what they were talking about.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Where are the comparison charts?

 

[schuelma]

As Chris said in last weeks thread, amazon had a bundle that included ARMS- MC tracks amazon and that probably accounts for the rise.

 

[ethomaz]

So?

Did you read his comment lol

 

[FreedomFighter]

I thought Splatoon 2 would overtake DQ11 PS4 this week, but seems will definitely happen next week with Splatoon 2 rising WoW and DQ11 will continue to drop.

And hot damn, look at those Switch sales!!!

 

[random25]

Splatoon 2 closing to go woomy!

And the 3DS + 2DS is doing really, really well this year. Potential 24M this year?

 

[Zedark]

Amazon must make bundles every week.

Would be nice

 

[noobie]

Using the Square Enix claim PS4 did best first week I believe digital on PS4 was better than most expected.

Where it has been said? link, thread?

 

[NintendosBooger]

Oh, it doesn't start on the 13th, which this chart covers?

 

[Chris1964]

I did. Apparently you don't know this is the big week.

 

[Ridley327]

We don't have any numbers of Minecraft Switch? I have the feeling that is selling really really well.

I would imagine that's information that MS would have to share as of now, since it's still a digital-only title. I will be interested to see how it does in Japan once they get around to the physical release, since there is likely a market out there that's waiting for that before diving in.

We have seen stronger sales of the PlayStation®4 version than the NINTENDO 3DS version

 

[LordKano]

That doesn't mean it sold better FW.

 

[FreedomFighter]

We finally got our boost for Zelda and ARMS. Thanks, Obon.

 

[noshten]

Those are Famitsu estimates, until we get something from Nintendo or Microsoft I don't really think those numbers can be touted as official

 

[ethomaz]

How the biggest holiday week happens before the holiday week itself...

 

[z0m3le]

20 more weeks and half of them are holiday weeks, so I'd say it's possible

 

[Oemenia]

It's really going to matter even more now which version ends up on Switch.

 

[Chris1964]

Your limited knowledge for Japan continues. With a little research you'll see how sales are splitted between two weeks.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Drunk, high, or half asleep?

Or all three?

 

[KtSlime]

Mukaebi was the 13th and today was Okuribi, so technically both weeks are a part of obon.

Famitsu's up.

Switch = 77.146
Splatoon 2 = 87.222

 

[Thatanas]

Finally an increase of Switch software to go with the strong hardware sales.

 

[LordKano]

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

Famitsu's up.

Switch = 77.146
Splatoon 2 = 87.222

And 71k DQXI instead of the 91k on MediaCreate. Inferior tracker indeed.

 

[ethomaz]

That exactly my point only Sunday counts as holiday this week while Monday and Tuesday counts as holiday next week.

Which one do you believe affect more sales? Next week is suppose to be the holiday week people are expecting.

If his comment was about next week then I won't even reply but I expect next week to shows more than 42k units sold for PS4 due holiday week like I expected a big drop below 40k this week.

 

[Magicpaint]

Famitsu's up.

Splatoon 2 = 87.222

They also have PS4 DQXI much lower than Media Create.

 

[13ruce]

Holy shit 2 weeks till Splatoon 2 1 million goal

And damn at those Switch sales.
Great week.

Dragon Quest trucking nicely also.

 

[cws]

Switch is the Jon Snow of gaming systems lol.

why don't you just look up previous obon holidays and see for yourself?

Famitsu's up.

Switch = 77.146
Splatoon 2 = 87.222

So on Famitsu Splatoon 2 is up to 67% attach rate
Just 25K shy of 1 million

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Switch stock has increased but it's not enough to end the lotteries yet, so how much do they need? 150k a week?

 

[random25]

100k a week should loosen up the tight demand situation. It's already trying to track like the 3DS in its heyday, and that was selling like 6 digits weekly.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Done with adding this week's current MC and Famitsu Switch data.

[Reki]

Good Switch numbers! Waiting for the graph that alignes it with 3DS.

And those Snack World sales aren't that bad... but wasn't Level 5 expecting it to be the next Yo-Kai Watch? Or maybe I'm misremembering.

 

[ethomaz]

why don't you just look up previous obon holidays and see for yourself?

I tried and I couldn't find any week this or last gen with August 15 being on a Tuesday.

Are you comparing with what?

 

[13ruce]

Splatoon 2 breaking 1 million next week when accounting for digital downloads I'm guessing

We know of 50k downloads atleast so yup probably will and 2 weeks or so for retail 1m.

 

[Chris1964]

Amazon got a big Switch shipment this week, something close to 10k.
