Media Create Sales: Week 40, 2015 (Sep 28 - Oct 04)
 
YWB: 28.244 v. PSMD: 11.912

Pokémon keeps selling badly (it might have legs, though). YW is, instead, quite a monster, considering it is a spin-off. It's already sold more than the best-selling Pokémon spin-off.
 
DQVIII (Famitsu): 838.764 - along with digital sales, the game is around 870.000 units; not bad.

Also, Picross 3D 2 dropped mildly, and Monster Hunter Diary is holding nicely.
 
I don't understand why people are concerned about Xanadu's second week drop: it seems around the standard for a JRPG to me. It also had a very good first week, so...I don't see the problem.

I'd dare to say Yoru No Nai Kuni's second week could be a bit more up to debate.
 
Legs for Super Mario Maker and decent hold for PS4, new releases surely helped.

That's a huge drop for Tokyo Xandu. Did they not ship more copies?

Actually it´s quite a normal drop, also for RPGs, but it shows that supply wasn´t really a big issue last week.
 
I always wondered: what do the numbers after the position mean? They're zero for new releases so I thought it was weeks in MC but splatoon has a lower number than ACHHD.

DQVIII (Famitsu): 838.764 - along with digital sales, the game is around 870.000 units; not bad.

Also, Picross 3D 2 dropped mildly, and Monster Hunter Diary is holding nicely.

Really good sales, 900k seem to be a lock for Dragon Quest 8 and even 1 million isn´t out of the question yet.
 
Good hold for PS4. Uncharted a little lower than I expected.

FIFA down YOY despite the decline of WE. EA really dropping the ball. What will it take for it to sell in Japan?
 
Oh, right, Picross 3D 2 had a very good hold (less than 60% as a second week drop is good).

Media Create comparison, after 2 weeks

07. [NDS] Rittai Picross 3D (Nintendo) 24,000 / 62,000
08./07. [3DS] Picross 3D 2 <PZL> (Nintendo) {2015.10.01} (¥3.240) - 14.299 / 44.766 (-53%)

While not selling as well as the original, it's doing quite well considering its predecessor (and we don't know its digital sales yet).
 
Uncharted Collection is at the low side of YSO predictions with low sellthrough. The game has likely found its celling at sales, I wouldn't expect anything different from Uncharted 4, if it's lucky it will match sales of previous titles.
 
Not too bad of a PS4 drop. My prediction is that it would hold sustained sales at 25K a week (god have console sales really dropped this far?), but I'm a little less sure of that now. Guess next week will tell the story.
 
Good hold for PS4. Uncharted a little lower than I expected.

I don't think it's EA's fault, not when that franchise keeps growing everywhere else, in Italy the top 10 for example was all the various FIFA editions (same thing with the top 5 in France). The franchise is even growing in the US, & that's a place that doesn't even understand what "foot" means
