Media Create Sales: Week 40, 2012 (Oct 01 - Oct 07)

 

[Sammy Samusu]

01./00. [3DS] Bravely Default: Flying Fairy <RPG> (Square Enix) {2012.10.11} (¥6.090) - 141.529 / NEW

Glorious.

Vita 6.134

Worst week ever according to Media Create.

 

[metalslimer]

08./11. [3DS] Tousouchuu: Shijou Saikyou no Hunter-Tachi Kara Nigekire! <ACT> (Bandai Namco Games) {2012.07.05} (¥5.040) - 18.458 / 190.370 (+62%)

What...the...

I really haven't been paying attention. What is going on here?

Also was definitely expecting more out of X Zone. Was actually expecting BD and X Zone's first weeks to be switched.

 

[cvxfreak]

 

[slaughterking]

Great debut for BD. Now SE can finally start to invest in more original, quality IPs.

 

[Takao]

Good on Bravely Default.

How is that RE6 drop in comparison to RE5?

 

[RurouniZel]

Go go Bravely Default!

I'm one of the Project X Zone numbers.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Good debut for BD. Please come to the west, I'm ready to buy a 3DS for it.

 

[nickcv]

6k for vita... damn...
is this the lowest it ever reached?

 

[Vic]

I thought the Vita did pretty well this week, until I noticed I was looking at the PSP numbers...

 

[Road]

What...the...

I really haven't been paying attention. What is going on here?

New shipment -> sell-out -> new shipment -> sell-out...

??

 

[BassForever]

They should have put Sonic into PXZ would have doubled sales and made an international release almost assured. Great sales for BD:FF

Vita... how low can it go

 

[metalslimer]

6k for vita... damn...
is this the lowest it ever reached?

Yep.

Vita... how low can it go

Probably won't go lower this than this for a while.

 

[Mileena]

Dishonored BOMBA. What's wrong with you Japan?

 

[wrowa]

I'm relieved to see Bravely Default selling decently. I remember a few months ago some peole doubted that it would be able to reach 100k, nice to see that they were wrong.

 

[D_prOdigy]

Don't judge it til its first Christmas, guys.

 

[Sadist]

Well damn

 

[StreetsAhead]

Vita YTD 568.267
3DS LL YTD 744.117

It's almost too cruel.

Congrats to Bravely Default, though! I was sure it was going to do sub-100K for most of the month leading up to pre-release. This game had basically no advertising outside of Nintendo Directs.

JRPGs savior everybody

How is Image Epoch going to fund their future projects? bomb after bomb.

 

[Aostia]

Very solid debut for Bravely Default, very solid second week for RE6 (I think that just FFXIII did more thatn 100K on PS3 in the second week) and very good performance for Project X Zone.
Very good results for 3DS HW thanks to the new color, and still good sales for PS3

 

[Heropon]

Glad to see Bravely Default succeeding. Now bring it here, SquareEnix!!!

I'm happy.

PS Vista doing as good as I expected it to do as usual.

 

[frankie_baby]

Don't judge it til its first Christmas, guys.

This is japan, it already had its first Xmas, its been judged and written off since then

Vita YTD 568.267
3DS LL YTD 744.117

It's almost too cruel.

Congrats to Bravely Default, though! I was sure it was going to do sub-100K for most of the month leading up to pre-release. This game had basically no advertising outside of Nintendo Directs.

Nintendo Directs being very powerful confirmed?

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

imageepoch has been fun to watch.

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Great start for Bravely Default. Project X Zone seems decent too, especially since it's also on 3DS. Tokitowa numbers around what was expected most likely. Poor Vita

 

[Tratorn]

BD decent though i expected a bit more.
But thankfully it outsold PxZ easily.

Vita sells just sad as always...

 

[FlutterPuffs]

Vita 6.134

Worst week ever according to Media Create.

But it's not christmas yet!

How is that RE6 drop in comparison to RE5?

RE5: -81%
RE6: -85%

Famitsu

 

[electroplankton]

Bravely Default is the highest debut for a SE new IP in the last six years?

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

Nintendo Directs being very powerful confirmed?

Also: demos!

that's unfair, you have to compare ltd to ltd òó.

 

[Blablurn]

man, poor vita

 

[Kouriozan]

Bravely Default : YES!
Vita : R.I.P.

I thought it had 4 different demos or something like that?

...and that makes the 140k even more awesome!

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

Great first week Bravely Default. Hope it gets a localization.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Got to save that marketing money for Lightning Returns.

RE5: -81%
RE6: -85%

Famitsu

And checking old Media Create threads it was -84% for RE5.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

What...the...

I really haven't been paying attention. What is going on here?

Also was definitely expecting more out of X Zone. Was actually expecting BD and X Zone's first weeks to be switched.

Japan sure loves them some Run For Money.

Also, I'm impressed at how Bravely Default did.

 

[Mpl90]

Good on Bravely Default.

How is that RE6 drop in comparison to RE5?

[PS3] Resident Evil 5 (Capcom) - 62.073 / 383.743 (-81%)

Media Create

02. [PS3] Resident Evil 5 (Capcom) 61,483 / 381,000 (-81%)

 

[StreetsAhead]

Also: demos!

5 of them must have done something!

that's unfair, you have to compare ltd to ltd òó.

Even LTD vs LTD it doesn't look good. Vita's only a little bit ahead considering the LL is barely 3 months old.

 

[DGRE]

Go go Bravely Default!

I'm one of the Project X Zone numbers.

How is PXZ?

 

[slaughterking]

And to think Image Epoch wanted their games to reach sales of like 300k minimum at some point.

 

[Mpl90]

Seriously, FUCK YEAH for Bravely Default. Good for PXZ too, even if I was expecting a little more.

Again, FUCK YEAH for Bravely Default.

Now it's clear why nobody wants it!

Don't go too far man

 

[fernoca]

RE5: -81%
RE6: -85%

Famitsu

Also keeping in mind that RE6 did more than RE5's LTD on its first week. So the drop been quite close; guess is "good".

 

[Takao]

And to think Image Epoch wanted their games to reach sales of like 300k minimum at some point.

I think it was 150k. Even that more conservative number is unrealistic for them. They should change their name and actually develop some quality product.
